quite, equaling that of the majority of
white races, he is apt to form a some
what sighting opinion of him as viewed
from physical standpoint. The speci-
mems met with in this country do not
tend to convey favorable impression
of their athletic powers After, how
ever. reading an account of the physical
measurements of some of the most
prominent Japanese wrest!ers. a more
respectful attitude regarding the mus
cular development of these little men
will probably be taken. The Jill SHIN
pc has recently published table Civ
ing the measurements of six of the
foremost Japanese fighters From this
it is gathered that the most bulky of
age of % years about 800 pounds:
height, five and a half feet; girth of
chest So inches; lung capacity, ALSO
cubic centimetres; upper arm, Is inches.
Another one weighs over $50 pounds;
height, six feet five inches; girth of
chest, 48 inches; lung capacity, 5000
cubic centimetres; upper arm. 10 inches.
The smallest of these fighting men
weighs more than 200 pounds, measures
in height five feet seven inches. While
in lung capacity he eXcels them all.
There are few wrestlers or pugiists in
this or anv other country who attain
to these dimensions, and those who
have seen of the best opponents OF
Japanese wrestling are willing to back
them when pitted against the pick OF
the European or American experts, as
it is said that they are as skillful as
they are powerful.

but IL not it did. We were told that 1t
had been turned over at the time it
was made and we recorded it. We
subsequently learned that we had been
misled and that the deed had been
held in escrow from its date to the
time it was offered for record. Such
deeds, or any other instrument filed the
same way, are of no value, as they can
not be offered in evidence and as peo-
pie here generally understand that we
have had very few instances of at
tempts to evade the law
1t is said that the punishment that
will be imposed on violators of the
law will be to compel them to pay both
the tax and a penalty. and they will
besides be out the cost of filing their
valid instruments, and as the sum due
the government for stamps acts as
a lien for 20 years, the government has
a cinch on being able to collect.

WHARTON PAYS THE BET
He Brings the Standard Office
Bucket of Doughnuts.
ALSO A BOX Of CIGARS
He Took the Standard Up During the
Campaign Last Fall and Now He
Walks Up and Settles Like
Gentleman

Manager Wharton of the street rail-
way company walked into the Standard
office last evening with a bucket of
doughnuts in his hand, which he pre-
scented to the staff At first the pecu-
liar gift seemed inexplicable, but Mr..
wharton proceeded to tell how it hap
pened.
1t seems that several months ago the
Standard spoke of the proposed seven
story building which w. A. Clark was
to erect on West Park street this year,
but the Standard added that it was
dollars to doughnuts that the building
would not be erected this year. Mr..
Wharton walked into the Standard Of
flee the next day and took the bet He
has become convinced that the build
ing will not be started this year, and
last evening he walked into the Stand
ard office like a man and paid the
wager.
So the Butte staff of the Standard is
feasting on doughnuts. They are good
doughnuts and there are lot of them.
Furthermore. Mr.. Wharton also pre-
scented box of fine cigars to smoke
after the doughnuts should be eaten.
The cigars were not included in the
bet, but are highly appreciated just the
same.
The Standards friends are invited to
drop into the Office and have a dough-
nut as long as they last

Passengers Libel a Steamer.

Seattle, Wash. Sept. 1.-THE steamer
Cleveland was libeled to-day for $5,4C0
by Is second-class passengers who ar
rived on her Sunday from st. Michael,
Alaska. The suit grows out of trouble
the vessel had between ST. Michael and
Dutch harbor, when, by reason Of run
ming short of coal, the second-class
passengers were employed to break up
for fuel all the loose lumber and super
f1uous woodwork on the vessel. In ad-
dition to their wages the libelants sue
for damages for the discomforts suffer-
ed on the voyage in consequence of
their sleeping accommodations.

from Honolulu to-day was Daniel A.
Ray. secretary of the interstate COM
merce commission of the United States
senate, who has spent two months in
Hawaii investigating the labor situa-
tioa and other matters for the Ha-
waiian congressional commission. Ray
has visited all the islands and seen
many owners and managers of sugar
plantations. He is of the opinion that
the solution of the labor problem there
is the employment of free white labor
and predicts that congress will order a
territorial form of government for the
islands. in accordance with the plan
already outlined by the commission.

AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.
The Confederation Project Likely to Be
Accom- lished.


Accomplished.
London. Sept. 12.-The confederation
scheme of the Australian colonies,
which has been attracting so much
attention, provides that addresses to
the queen from three colonies asking
for power to form a confederation shall
be sufficient for its formation. As
three colonies, New South Wales, south
Australia and Victoria, have voted ad-
dresses on the subject, the imperial
parliament, upon the resumption of it's
session, will, it is presumed, take the
matter up. whether or not the result
in the other colonies is favorable to
joining in the movement Queensia I'd,
Western Australia and Tasmania have
not yet settled the question. Queens
lands final vote is not yet known and
no address has been passed. Tasmania's
vote carries the federation. but its
parliament has not yet voted IN ad-
dress. Western Australia has not yet
voted. New Zealand has nothing to
do with the confederation question. If
Queensland, Tasmania and Western
Australia eventually decide for it they
will be taken in. 1t is presumed that
they will favor it. The decision Will
probably be known before the raas-
sembling of the imperial parliament,
but as already pointed out, he con-
federation is already assured by the
action of the three other colonies.

MORE ROOM is NEEDED
Trustees Don't Know How to Ac-
commodate All the Children.
THERE ARE $3.50 OF THEM
BY Next Monday There Will Be at Least
400 More-Mr Walsh Gets the Con-
tract for the Atlantic School
Retaining Wall.

The board of education last night dis
eussed at length the overcrowded con-
dition of the public schools in this city.
The new Atlantic street and Aluminium
street buildings will not be ready for
occupancy for several weeks, and in the
meantime it will be necessary to rent
rooms wherever they can be had. On
Monday the enrolment was 5,027, and
last evening $3.50 pupils walked home
from school, Superintendent Hendricks
estimates that at least 400 more will be
enrolled by next Monday, and it is
going to be rub to find places for all
the children. The clerk has engaged
rooms, but still more are needed.
There was talk of renting the armory,
but no definite action was taken in this
matter. The superintendent reported
that he had temporarily supplied the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Principal Bell of the Franklin school
by the appointment of o. l.. Bishop. He
also reported that he had made other
assignments of teachers. The clerk was
instructed to draw on the shipment of
new desks now stored awaiting the
completion of the Atlantic building and
put them in rooms where needed. In
some rooms were 65 pupils usually sit
are 12I. 1t is in these overcrowded
rooms where the importance of imme-
diate action in the direction of more
space is most apparent
Mrs. Hanley, assistant janitor of the
High school, resigned her position and
the resignation was accepted. During
the week Mrs. Kean resigned as assist
ant janitor of the Washington school
and the janitors committee engaged
Mrs. Griffith in her stead.
Miss Clark, Miss Mary Holland, Miss
Eshbaugh and Julia Sanders resigned
as teachers during the week
The building committee recommended
the purchase of closets and kindred
equipment for the Atlantic school from
the Chicago house which is represented
by ]. H. Monteath, formerly of this
city.
The Miner was awarded the contract
to furnish 5000 teachers monthly re-
port blanks at $3S.25, and $50 teachers
free text book registers at $61.
J. G. Evans was awarded the con-
tract to furnish chalk to the district.
Bids for the construction of the retain
ing wall around the Atlantic school
yard Were received as follows: w. Z.
Walsh, $500; Alexander Scott, 1900;
NJ. c. McNaughton, $2,073; Tracy &
Farrell, $2,075 The contract was
awarded to w. E. Walsh and the build

PLAYING PRACTICAL JOKES.
One Instance in Which the Fun Spoiled
Summer Outing.

The practical joker is always abroad in
the land, but he is not always an I'M
qualified success, nor are his efforts to
amuse rewarded with the appreciation he
seeks to merit. One woman, victim OF
the practical joke habit, said the other
day: II have had one experience that
j never want repeated. 1t was some years
when l was with a party of eight girls
who We're spending a short time in cot
tage near the water. One night one OF
the girls awakened me, saying that
party of five men was landing from
boat not far from the house. There were
few cottages near us, and most OF them
were vacant at that time. We were ter
ribly frightened. We did not waken the
other girls, but watched to see what
would happen. The men came up to the
piazza of our house and began talking in
broken English saying they guessed the
girls were not there, but must be in an
other cottage Then they left.

We must Jump from the window and we
did.
II went down first from the second
story, fell like a log, then jumped up,
climbed the fence and started for a neigh
boris house, where we could get help. My
friend jumped from the window after me
and followed We awakened the family,
and the man took a revolver and went
back to our house. When he approached
the intruders and leveled the revolver at
them they called out, telling him not to
shoot, for they were friends of the girls.
''They proved to be some young men
from town who had come down to fright
en- US as a practical joke. There was
great deal of feeling about it at the time,
and there was some talk of prosecuting
them.

were nearly Frustrated. Our outing had
been spoiled. and the next morning we

EvAD|NG THE STAMP ACT
A Government Agent Is Around
Making Investigations.
NOT MANY VIOLATIONS
Deputy County Clerk and Recorder
Quarles Says the ONCE Has Been
Very Particular in the Matter.
Lapses May Occur.

Robert Towne of Washington, D. c.,
a special internal revenue agent, is in
the city for the purpose of inquiring
how well the war revenue act has
been and is being lived up to, and if
fragrant violations of the law are found
he is ordered to invoke the laws pro-
viding punishment for such offenders.
Mr.. Towne travels in the interest of
this branch of the public service. He
has toured Oregon and Washington
and is now looking into the business in
Motaa
Mr. Towes business is chiefly with
the public offices where documents and
instruments are filed for record, such
as the secretary of state and county
clerks and recorders of the various
counties. Before coming to Butte Mr.
Towne investigated the offices of the
secretary of state and the county clerk
and recorder of Lewis and Clarke
county at Helena, and is said to have
found many instances of the stamp
tax being evaded. He has arranged to
examine the instruments filed in the
office of the clerk and recorder of the
county since the act went into effect,
some time this week to ascertain to
here.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Deputy Clerk and Recorder Quarles
said: Some lapses will be found in
this office. but not many. There have
been none as far as we have been able
to avoid it. / understand that some
of the clerks and recorders have had
difficulty in this respect from having
instruments mailed to their office
which would be accompanied by the
regular fee for filing, but with no rev.
enue stamps, and they, thinking they
had no other course open to them, filed
the documents. We have no such
lapses in our office for the reason that
when a document has come by mail to
be recorded without having the proper
stamps affixed we have sent it back
with instructions to forward it prop
erly stamped or we would not record
it. In all but one instance the instru-
ments have been returned duly stamp
ed. In that case we got deed by
mail in which the consideration was
$4,000. We sent it back with a notice
that it required $40 worth of stamps,
and 1t was never returned to us.
THE only violations that will be
found in our office, l think are cases
in which misrepresentation were made
to us. / recall one case in particular
in which a deed was offered for rec
ord 1t ante-dated the time at which
ton was. had the deed been turned

in charge admit the genuineness of some
of these complaints, but they declare that
the discharged soldiers crowded the ship
of their own accord although they had
an option of remaining in Manila until
the next troopship should sail. The con-
dtion of the ship will seriously affect the
health of the returning soldiers There
are 1,200 of them on board being carried
back to San Francisco. The soldiers on
the Tartar are fraternizing with the Brit
ish regulars on duty here and are being
entertained at the various messes of the
garrison. At these gatherings the Anglo
American alliance is enthusiastically
toasted. The Tartar will sail Tuesday.

IT has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one person
of a family h&d died with consumption
was considered Il sure sign that Others of
that family could not escape it. This is
partly true and partly untrue. A man
with weak lungs is likely to transmit
that weakness to his children But there
is no reason in the world why the weak
ness should be allowed TO develop. Keep
the lungs full of rich, red, wholesome
blood, and the weakness will disappear,
Decaving tissues will be thrown off, and
