No Dimculty Anticipated.

No difficulty is anticipated in any or
the features of the investigation, as
municipal works have readily given In
formation and the price paid by the
consumers is naturally easily obtaina-
BILE from the latter. The inquiry Will
be carried on by the different state bu-
reaus of labor and the federal depart
ment of labor. There are thirty-two
state offices. Some, however, are una
BILE to Join in the inquiry, and from
such states the federal department Will
collect the facts. The results VIII De
brought together, compiled and anal
yzed by the department of labor, and
each state participating in the canvass
will publish the data belonging TO IT,
In this way thorough cooperation has
been secured, and the work Will be ac-
,omplished with the least possible delay
The principles involved do not consu-
tute any feature of the investigation,
and therefore, whether the municipal
ownership of such institutions Is or Is
not desirable, has no place in the IN
vestigation, which is based on the de-
sire of all parties on both sides to learr
the extent TO which the idea has beer

Washington, Feb. 4.-The proposed
federal and state investigation into the
municipal ownership of big enterprises
Is now under way in several or the
states. Its chief aim is to ascertain
the extent to which municipal owner
ship has been carried on in this country
and to this end information is to be
collected from all gas, electric light, or
water works under such control. This
amounts to the taking of census or all
Of this class of municipal enterprises.
The secondary object is to collect data
bringing the cost to the consumer OF
water, gas, electric light under munic-
pal management into comparison with
the cost of like product under private
control. An attempt also will be made
to find the cost of the different prod

places where liquor is sold. On or
before January 18th Of each year
returns must be sent to the Bureau
of Mines for the year of the output
of mines and other information
that may be required. Provisions
are made for inquiry into accidents
in mines and general rules are made
for proper ventilation and to pre-
vent the storage of explosives in
mines. Each mine is to have a
suitable device for thawing explo-
sives and iron tamping rods are
forbidden. Every working vertical
shaft in which persons are hoisted
or lowered, if over 800 feet deep,
must have safety cage and guides.
Mine owners must assume the re-
sponsibiity of lowering or hosting
men. or must prohibit it positively,
Provisions are also made for proper
timbering, ladderways, etc, and
penalties are imposed for infraction
of the regulations.

Buffalo Jones of Oklahoma is In
Washington endeavoring to get the
Interior Department to corral and
save from destruction the last OF
the buffaloes. He says all Of these
animals now in a wild state are in
the Yellowstone Park, and they do
not exceed thirty in number. If
they are to be saved they must be
gathered at once and protected, as
the game in the Park has been mer-
cilessly slaughtered in the last two
years and the superintendent of the
Park has abandoned all hope of
saving a buffalo. Mr.. Jones is an
authority on the subject of buffa-
Ices, and has charge of a small herd
of those animals on his ranch in
Oklahoma. According to authentic
reports, there are only few of
those animals at large and unless
the Government protects those few
they will become extinct before the
close of the century.

There was weird ceremony per.
formed on the site of the Grant
tomb at Riverside Park Friday OF
last week when the Chinese Lega.
ton planted a tree as q lasting
monument to show the appreciation
and regard in which General Grant
was held by the Chinese as a nation.
The members of the Legation se-
cured permission from the Park
Board to plant an English oak,
which will probably last for GEN.
turtles. 1t was planted just above
the spot where General Grant lies,
and it will be the duty of future
Legations to see that the tree has
proper attention and is trimmed
from time to time. Orders for this
token of respect to Americas hero
were sent by Ii Hung Chang and
the Chinese Emperor. The cere-
monies consisted of speeches in
Chinese and the invocation of bless
lngs of Confucius. There were weird
chantings as they placed the sapling
in the consecrated hole. A fence
was built around the spot.

ENJOYS THE PRISON MENU,

Attorneys Eugene Deuprey ane
George A. Knight were to have pre-
sented to Governor Budd yesterda,
the petition which they prepared
for the Communication of Theodor.
Durrant's sentence of death to life
imprisonment. The petition die
not involve the question of guilt OF
innocence. That had already been
decided by a jury, and the verdict
and sentence approved by the Su
preme Court. The attorneys, there.
fore, confined themselves to the
contention that Durrant did not get
fair and impartial trial, and that
he was thereby deprived of his con.
stitutional rights. They alIege that
prejudice and criticism had such
an effect that it had the tendency
to prevent the defendant having
the fairness that should have been
accorded him.
The procedure was to be strictly
in accordance with law. The attor-
neys made no emotional appeal,
depending on facts and force of
argument to serve their client.
If Governor Budd denied COM
mutation Of sentence, reprieve
was requested to afford time for a
decision from the United States
Supreme Court. Should the appeal
fail to be acted upon before June
18th, the day set for Durrant's ex-
ecution, his attorneys defy Warden
Hale of San Quentin to have the
death sentence executed. They de-
clare if their client is hanged pend
ing a decision from the United
States court that they will have
Warden Hale arrested for murder.
Durrant expressed confidence in the
Governor acting favorably on his
for executive clemency.
The San Francisco Chronicle of
May 10th says:
Durrant has improved in appearance
since entering San Quentin, the sun, to
which he turns an eager face as he PAGES
the tagged walks in daily exercise, has
Drowned his cheeks and lent to the face
the ruddy hue of health. The improved
character OF the food furnished him has
added to his flesh and his constant reading
and the writing of his appeal to the |
Governor have given him mind occupation |
to divert his thoughts from his fast ap-
preaching fate. He has not the haunted,
gaunt eyed look Of the condemned man.
Durrant is most omnivorous reader |
md the character of his selections runs
70 books which furnish knowledge rather
han amusement. They are characterized |
Dy the prison officials as "soid.". When
rot engaged in reading Durrant busies

Earring lengthy document for presenta-
ion to the Governor.

A Modern Joan Of Arc.

The Greco-Turkish war has de-
veloped modern Joan of Arc, in
the person of a daughter of Greece
named Elene Constantinides. She
marched at the head of $500 vol
unteer troops few days ago, ar
rayed 10 the regular Greek uniform.
When asked why she did not go to
the front as a nurse, she replied,
her eyes flashing fire;
"The Turks have killed nv
brothers, they have killed my fam
lily. and their blood calls for revenge,
and it is | who must avenge them.
l 60 to fight and not to nurse"
AS she took her place at the head
of the column, she was greeted
with cheers, and as the column
moved off, she riding in front, a
perfect rain of flowers fell about
her and made carpet in front of
her. The populace grew perfectly
wild and the men seemed to take
new hope and energy under their
girl leader. and went forward with
determination to accomplish VIC
tory or die in the attempts.
