Water witches are highly regarded
in the far West. One man in particu-
lar has the reputation in Colorado Of
being a trustworthy diviner. and he is
always in request. BY trade he is a
well-digger, but to this commonplace
occupation he has added the profession
of water-finder. And he is not exclu-
sively employed by silly people. but by
practical men of business. Thus he is
designating for railroad company all

Hot Versus Cold Water.

Just at the moment when cold water
cures, milk cures, whey cures, grape
cures and the Karlsbad, or starvation
cure, occupy the attention of those who
perhaps are in great measure personally
responsible for wanting any cure at all,
a new one has sprung up in America,
and has already found followers in En-
gland. The drinking of hot water was
an old-fashioned ,practice among per-
sons with impaired digestive organs.
Hot water as cosmetic has greatly
advanced in favor during the present
London season, while the practice Of
drinking water as near to2boiling-point
as is humanity possible has ,taken to it.

saving attributed to Diane de Poictiers
that she owed the preservation of her
beauty to the use of cold water is Sradu-

few years ago we were enthusiastic

Effect of an Injunction.

BosToN, Jan. 23.-Judge Grey, of the
United States Circuit Court, has granted an
injunction against the Peoples Telephone
Company (Dolbear's patent) in favor of the
Bell Telephone Company. The stock of the
latter company jumped from 5000 a share at
the close yesterday to 1920 to-day. The point
of the decision is that Bell was the first
inventor who successfully used an electric
current for the Transmission of articulate
sound. The differences between Dolbear's
and Bells plans are not such as to warrant
the former in claiming the invention of the
entire system. The essence of Bells inven-
ton consist not merely in the form of the
apparatus he uses, but in the general process
or method OF which that apparatus is the
embodiment. The defendants have, there
fore, infringed Bells patent by using his
general process or method, and should be
restrained by injunction from continuing to
do so

The Philadelphia Gas-Trust Funds.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-In connection with
the alleged Gas Trust funds, it is stated To-
night that warrants are out for the arrest of
ex-Auditor Robert B. Morrell of the Sew
enth-street Office; exClerk Taylor, Morrelrs
assistant; James S. Smith, ex-auditor of the
Spring Garden-street office; Henry Warren,
formerly in the Spring Garden Office, Major
Goodman, present receiver of the Phila-
delphia Office, and Martin w. Cuth,
gas-bill clerk at the Seventh street office.
ExAuditor Morrell is the only one known to
have fed. 1t is alleged that the frauds are
causing considerable futter among politi-
clans. Discoveries in the books OF the Trust
show populations amounting to 100000.
The matter was first brought to attention of
the Trust sixteen months ago, and Charles
Hooper, recently sent to prison for theft, has
made confession upon which the present
inquiry is being conducted.

The senatorial contests is growing warm. The
Democrats and Anti-monopolists have agreed
to concentrate on Boyd (Dem.) tomorrow.
He will probably have fifty votes, and may
reach sixty. The policy of the Anti-monopo-
lists is to force upon the Republicans the
name of the men agreeable to them. 1t is
difficult to say what the result will be.
A new factor enters the fight tonight.
To-day the Supreme Court gave formal
decision that the railroad commission law
is unconstitutional. This is applauded by
the Anti-monopolists. Judge George B.
Lake, one of the Justices of the Supreme
Court, is now announced as a candi-
date for the Senate, and his friends claim he
will be the compromise candidate This is
very doubtful The opinion of the court
has embittered many members who occupy
conservative positions on railroad legislation,
and the contest will be full of interest from
now until its conclusion. The Republicans
are in conference tonight but no decisive
action iS rlrOhah1o

Tho Senator Implicated Not Henry S., but
James III. Lane.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Great indignation
has been expressed among the Indiana dele
cation and the friends of ex-senator
Henry S. Lane over the publication
in the Washington Post, of Mon
day last, of an alleged interview with
Miss Clara G. Scott, in which she is reported
as having made serious charges against the
late senator from Indiana. Your correspond
ent has taken the pains to investigate the
matter, and he finds that the woman who is
'crank" of the most pronounced type
never mentioned the name of the Indiana
senator, and never knew him. On the con-
trary, she ayers that she told the Post re-
porter that it was Senator Lane, of Kansas.
The Post reporter explains his mistake,
and will tomorrow make the proper
correction in this way The woman spoke
OF the late senator from Kansas and on re-
turning to his office to write up his notes he
discovered that he had not taken the initials,
and not knowing them himself, he inquired
of some one in the room what were the ini-
tials of Senator Lane. Henry S." was the
reply, whereupon the senator from Indiana
was made responsible for the alleged picca-
dilloes of the redoubtable James H Lane, of
Kansas. AS before intimated, the proper
correction will be made in to-morrow's edi-
ton of the Post. when the Kansas delegation
will be burdened with the responsibility of
relieving the good name of their late senator
from an aspersion which has for it's basis the
exhumatons of twenty years ago.

Starving Indians.

SAN Francisco Jan. PA Winnemucca,
New, dispatch says: "The Indians in the
northern part of this county, and near the
line in Oregon, ere reported in a starving
condition. The intensely cold weather

for winter. The settlers are contributing to
their support, but it is feared they will COM
mence killing stock to keep from starvation.
According to census taken under the super
vision of Major Powell, the
government agent, there are over 800
Pequots in this county, and very few of them
are earning livelihood by work this cold
weather. The government gives them no
annuities, and they are wholly dependent
upon their own resources. Trouble is likely
to ensue unless the government does some
thing to help feed them during the winter"

MICHIGAN CITY HARBoR.
The Importance of Continuing the Work
Pressed Upon Congress.


Pressed Upon Congress.
Washington Special.
Mr.. Calkins, of Indiana, has introduced in
the House letter from Jared A. Smith,
major of engineers in charge of the work of
improving the Michigan City, Ind, harbor
The letter was referred to the committee on
commerce, and calls attention to the fact
that at the last session of Congress Senator
Harrison introduced an amendment to the
river and harbor bill appropriating $20 900
for construction OF purchase of a dredge for
the outer harbor at Michigan City The
amendment was adopted by the Senate, but
defeated in conference. Major Smith now
urges the necessity and propriety of intro
ducing separate bill making that appro-
priation. He says he has no possible doubt
that an expe enditure of $780, 600, which will ell
abte the government to do the work with its
own machinery, will advance the harbor
fully as much as $4,000.
During the past season the average ex-
pense for dredging the inner harbor at Mich
igan City has been, including towing, less
than four cents per cubic yard. The loves
contract price the engineer ever obtained
made the same work cost nineteen cents, and
an average contract price is about twenty
two cents. He thinks with nearly SOC, 900
yards to be excayated in order to utilize the
money hitherto expended, the difference in
the two methods is too great to be ignored.
He believes also that the propriety of i'm
proving the harbor at Michigan City cannot
be questioned; that separate bill should be
introduced, to stand upon its own merits,
and suggests an appropriation for the contin-

STRIKING AT AN EVIL.

enator Harrisou's Plan for Stopping Gem
erai Legislation on Appropriation Bills.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Jan. 24.-The Senate con-
sumed another day upon the metal sched ule,
and the House upon the naval bill. 1t is ex-
pected a vote upon the latter will be reached
tomorrow morning when the remainder of
the day will be devoted to the delivery of
eulogies upon the late Senator Benjamin
Hill, of Georgia, and the tariff bill will be
taken upon Friday
The evil results of imposing every con-
ceivable character of legislation upon appro-
priation bills-a Democratic precedent which
the Republicans have followed-are abund-
antly shown in the tedious discussion of the
naval bill, which has already occupied the
time of the House for six days, when the le-
gitimate requirements of the appropriation
bill itself could have been met in
half day. Senator Harrison seems to have
struck at the root of the evil, and the fol-
lowing, which he offord in the Senate to-day
for adoption as joint rule, will undoubt-
edly be recognized by both branches of Con-
gress as much needed correction of what
has grown to be a very serious evil:
mo amendment whatever proposed by a
member or by an committee, which pro-
poses general legislation, shall be received in
either house to any general appropriation
bill; nor shall any amendment not germane
or relevant to the subject matter contained
in the bill be received, whether proposed by
member or by any committee; nor shall
any amendment to any item or clause in
such bill, which does not directly relate
thereto, be received whether proposed by a
member or by any committee"
