INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. ga
Hugh Hanna, chairman of the None
tary Executive Committee, today an
nounced the completion of the COM
mission, acceptance having been re-
ceived from Louis a. Garnett of San
Francisco and j. l.. Laughlin of Chi
cago.

last appointments is as follows: En-
Senator George f. Edmonds, of YER
mont; Charles S. Fairchild, of New

Francisco: Professor j. L. Laughlin.
of Chicago, and Stuyvesant Fish of
New York
While no attention was paid to the
political leanings of the men chosen
for the commission it happened that
it contains six Republicans and five
Democrats. There was, however, much
care given to the question of geogra-
phical representation and the distri-
button of the commission in various
lines of business. Senator Edmonds
was taken as representative of the
country at large, and of the other
members of the commission three are
from the East. two from the South.
one from the Pacific Coast, one from
the Northwest, one from the South
west, and two from the Central West.
The commission has been called to
meet the latter part of this month at
the Arlington hotel in Washington. 4
call has been issued for the executive
committee to meet at the same time
and place, and it is expected to be-
gin the work for which the commits

Educated men in the United
States are regarding with approval
the awakening interest of working
men in the subject of immigration.
A series of questions has recently
been prepared and issued in the
form of circular by the labor or
carnations to the individual labor
unions. The answers will indicate
a close study of the benefits and
dangers arising from immigration,
and will contain suggestions for the
improvement of existing laws. The
subject is one of vital Importance
to any country where there are I'M
developed resources and room for
an increase in the population. In
telligent workingmen, actuated by
a desire to promote the best inter
ests of their native or their adopted
country, and aroused to a full APP
probation of the need of good citi-
zens, are mighty factors in building
up stable government.

district courts, than many who
have had superior advantages.
The position of District Magistrate
is very difficult and thankless one
to hold in any country, and it is
often a very trying one. Judge
de la Vergne, who retires from the
magistrates seat, has given much
better satisfaction than some people
anticipated he would, when he ac-
cepted the office, being compare
tive stranger among us. We I'M
derstand that he purposes to devote
himself to the practice of law in
this city, for which he is well quail
fed.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge c

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts,, has always been a
staunch friend of Hawaii, and now
that she applied for annexation to
the great republic, and the ques-
ton must be fairly and squarely
met, he takes every opportunity to
show the necessity of perfecting the
annexation of the group. In re-
cent interview he said: Gas to
Hawaii, the Presidents policy
seems to me in the highest degree
wise, strong and statesmanlike.
For 5 years we have maintained
close relations with those islands.
Americans have developed and con-
trolled them. Repeatedly we have
declared that the interference of
any other nation would be regarded
as an act of hostility to the United
States. The powers of Europe
have recognized and accepted our
position. Now the japanese are
pouring in there and trying to get
control of the islands by colonial
ton. We have no right to say to
those Americans and Europeans
who have made the islands what
they are that we will leave them
to be submerged and overwhelmed
by an Asiatic invasion. If we are
not prepared to protect our own
kith and kin in those islands, then
we must allow them to seek the
protection and good government of
To this latter course we
should never assent, and, therefore,
the one unavoidable duty is to take
the islands ourselves. Every com
nercial, military and political rea-
son commands such action. 1t is
pitiful to say that we may find
and annoyances in man
aging Hawaii. A people who have
subdued the American continent
and fought the greatest war of
modern times can surely manage

The arrest, trial and conviction
of Commander Booth-Tucker, in
New York City, during May last,
for disturbance of the quiet of the
night, has created considerable feel
ing among those sympathizing with
him, as well as others. The law
guarantees freedom of worship
alike to all sects. But this freedom
seems according to the reports, to
have been forfeited on several occa-
sions, amounting to an unlawful
disturbance of the quiet of the
night. Witnesses claimed that
one night there were 100 persons
in the barracks more than 200 of
whom were raising a din with
comets, drums and tambourines.
All were singing songs to the tunes
of The Bowery' and The Sunshine
of Paradise Alley Another night
they burned the devil, and on a
third they dedicated the Heavenly
Babe, Herbert Booth-Tucker.' On
these nights, also on the night when
there was "a grand hallelujah eye
OPENER witnesses said they could
not Sleep" If confined to reason
able hours, no complaint would
ever have been sustained in court,
whether the devil were driven
away from the premises or not. In
this case, the ground of conviction
rested in the fact that the noises
were kept up till late hours even
after midnight, when rest and quiet
are demanded by the people, and
the public guardians are bound to
preserve it.

ate-the intervening degree between
the baccalaureate and the decorate
in such manner as will permit the
French faculties of science to be as
liberal in their regulations. as are the
German universities.
The new features introduced by this
decree are: Wider choice in the selec-
ton of studies; liberty to migrate from
one university to another, and the pri-
vilege of taking examinations success
sively or en- bloc, just as the student
wishes. The student is expected to
qualify for his license in one of three
groups of studies.
American students are admitted on
the basis of their American diplomas.
If an able man and thoroughly pre-
pared, a student will be able to dis
charge the work required for his III
cense" in one year by carrying his
three subjects simultaneously. He may,
however, if he wishes, take them in
successive years, travelling from one
faculty to another, and following, at
the same time, other courses.
After having pursued study for a
year the student has the privilege OF
applying for examination, and if he
stands his test, receives certificate Of
study. Whenever he secures three such
certificates, covering studies in one
group, he receives the diploma of IL
centiate of sciences, and the doctorate
is then to be obtained on the presen-
tation of satisfactory thesis. This
is practically the German system modi-
fed, so that the student may not only
take his examinations whenever he is
ready, but also receive Independent
credits for every portion of his work.

There are several localities on
this island of Oahu and also on
Kauai and Maui, where the sea
water near the shore is so fresh that
the natives fill their kegs and tins
with it for drinking and cooking
purposes. This freshening of the
sea water is caused by underground
streams flowing down from the
highlands and discharging into the
sea. A singular discovery has been
made off the west coast of Senegal,
Africa, of a Submarine river, prob
ably formed in the same way as
the fresh. water pools referred to
above. 1t seems that the SUBJ
marine cable, which spans the
ocean from the African coast to
Pernambuco, South America, has
been twice broken by some mys-
FERROUS agency, at distance of
over one hundred miles from the
coast. Dredging was resorted to,
in some instances with nets, and

fresh water plants were brought up.
resembling river weeds, and with
feathers of birds, pieces of carpets
and driftwood, and more singular
still pieces of orange peel, all found
on the bottom of the ocean, fifty OF
a hundred miles from shore. The
breakage of the submarine cable
was attributed to the action of this
submarine stream, and the cable
has been removed to another place.
Submarine rivers are known to ex,
list in several localities,-the most
noted being off the Gulf of Car
pentaria. The orange peel and
pieces of carpet may readily have
been drawn down by the suction Of

Eight, strike-outs, one base on balls,
one wild pitch and four safe hits is the
record in three innings today in the
first fair test of the machines practical
bility in an actual game Mines repre-
senting the Ivy Club and Tiger Inn,
two of Princeton's social clubs, played
match game, using the gun to pitch
for both teams, and the contest at
tracted large crowd of interested
spectators, prominent among whom
were Mrs. Cleveland and a party of
friends and many Princeton professors,
who came to see with what success
Professor Hinton's invention would
meet.
The gun is discharged by the bats
man, who, when ready for the ball to
be delivered, steps upon an electrical
intercepting plate, connected by wires
with the trigger of the cannon. The
speed with which the ball is thrown
is regulated by compressed air, and
prong-like projectors from the lannon's
mouth impart a rotary motion to the
sphere when discharged, producing a
curve in any direction, according as the
position of the projecting prongs is
changed.
There is but one serious defect in
the operation of the machine that will
prevent its use in games, and that is
the long time required for reloading.
This was especially noticeable in to-
days game, because the intercepting
plate was out of order, and the fire.
quent delays thereby necessitated did
not allow the game to be finished. Only
three innings were played
During the first inning the batsmen
were timid at standing near the plate,
and the big out curves caused them to
jump back, but as the gun threw
strikes in every instance they plucked
up courage, stood closer to the plate
and succeeded occasionally in making
safe hits. The game was uninteresting,
excepting for the novelty of seeing the
pitchers box occupied by a machine.
The Ivy Club won by score of Z to 8.

Mr.. Havemeyer, president of the
Sugar Trust, was brought before
one of the Washington courts, on
a charge of contumacy in not an
swering the question asked him by
Senator Allen. The following was
the question propounded: II will
ask you to produce full data as to
all money contributed by the Am
erican Sugar Refining Company, or
any of its officers, in the different
states in the Union in 1928 for
political purposes, to any political
party, whether at a national or
state election" The Judge decided
that he was not obliged to answer,
and dismissed the case. Mr..
Searles, who was brought before
the court on the same charge, was
also discharged. So far, the law
has been unable to reach them.
Whether there was or was not
ground for the charges of corrupt
influence in 1894, it is quite clear
from Senator Aldrich's strong
statement that no such influence
was brought to bear upon the Sen
ate Committee at its recent sessions.

Little has been reported of late
regarding the war between Greece
and Turkey. At the latest date,
an armistace had been agreed to,
pending negotiations for peace.
Turkey demands the surrender of
the entire province of Thessaly ~
ing between Greece and Turkey
proper. Greece refuses to surren-
der it, as it is peopled almost wholly
by Greeks. The council of the Eu-
ropean Powers are willing to grant
to Turkey strip along the north
ern boundary line of Phessaly,
mostly mountainous country. This
offer Turkey declines, and here the
matter rested at the latest date.
The possession of the island of
Crte, is also mixed up in the peace
settlement. The Cretans wish to
be annexed to Greece, while Russia
wants it to remain attached to Tur-
key. So thatsit is really a three
cornered affair. A German writer
gives the following statement,
showing Russia's interest in the
peace settlement: The attitude of
Russia in the Greco-Turkish CON,
troversy with regard 10 Crete has
occasioned a good deal of surprise,
as, Notwithstanding the blood ties
which connect the Greek and Rus
sian thrones, the policy of the great
White Bear of the east has been
decidedly pro-Turkish. This, how
ever, is easily explained by the fact
that the Island of Crete is a strate-
gic point of more than usual i'm
portance as a coaling station, which,
should Greek annexation become
an accomplished fact, would be for
ever lost to Russia. On the other
hand, the Russian mind has never
ceased to cherish the belief that
Russian supremacy in Turkey is
sooner or later inevitable, and
should Crete remain an integral
part of the Turkish empire, Russia
would then hold the key to the east
ern basin of the Mediterranean.
Russia, therefore, has not been at
all scrupulous in the methods en-
ployed by her in blocking the plans

course of setting by the ears the

Desertions from American wal

Desertions from American war
ships are not confined to vessels
visiting this port, but take place in
other foreign as well as in Ameri-
can home ports. A naval officer,
when asked by a newspaper re-
porter in Philadelphia the reason
for these frequent assertions, made
the following statement: Few
people have any idea of the num-
Der of assertions from warships
when they enter port. Sometimes
as many as twenty or thirty men
take French leave, and despite the
offer of $40 reward for the arrest
of each man, they are seldom APP
pretended. There does not exist
dissatisfaction on board any of the
ships, and the fault lies in the fact
that men of foreign birth, without
recommendation, have been allow
ed to enter the navy. When these
men received months pay, they
are granted shore leave, and are
not seen again. This is only the
lower, class, as some of the best
officers and bluejackets in Uncle
Sans navy are foreigners.

The demands of American scholars
for the admission of American students
to the right of undergoing the same ex-

prove they have spent sufficient time at
