SAYS the Houston Post: Hanna
is the logical nominee of the repub-
licans for the presidency three
years hence, but then Hanna has at
least arrived at years of discretion.
Youth isn't a good thing in the
White House. We feel about that
as the fellow felt in the storm at
sea. 30 Lord" he prayed, 80
Lordy come down and help us!
but don't send your son, Lord, for
this is no place for boys" Then
too, it may make the old man glad
to nominate him and it won't hurt
anything to do so, as the next
president will be a democrat any
how.

NOT AN EMPTY STOCKING.
Why Not Make This The Feature of The
Century's First Christmas?

Why Not Make This The Feature of The
Century's First Christmas?
Just imagine a Christmas morn
ing when not one child in all this
land who hung up stocking the
night before should find it empty
on awakening! Think of the Joy
that would be let loose in this old
world How can it be done?
In the October Ladies Home
Journal the president Of the Sun
shine Society started the ball roll
ing. She suggested that an
empty Stocking Club" be formed
in every city and town in the
country. The Empty Stocking
Club" is monument to man and
a woman the world will not soon
forget-M. F. Woolf, the artist to
the poor, and Ruth Ashmore, the
best friend the American girl ever
had. In December, 1896, Mr..
Woolf had a page Of his drawings
in the Ladies Home Journal. One
showed the bitter disappointment
of two waits, who crawled out of
forlorn bed to find their ragged
stockens empty. This picture
brought tears to the eys of thous-
ands, but to Ruth Ashmore it
brought more than tears. She
conceived and spread abroad the
idea Of Empty Stocking Clubs.
The sole object was to provide
"fillings" for the stockings of poor
children. These clubs sprang up
everywhere, and on Christmas
Day 1897, many a sad little life
was filled with happiness. Then
Ruth Ashmore died. The Empty
Stocking Clubs" became fewer.
Now the idea has been revived,
1t is just time to begin forming
the clubs. And what a fine thing
it would be if in after years to
come the Christmas of 1901 could
be called as the "full-stocking"
Christmas. Isn't it worth whilef

JAPAN TO DOUBLE NAVY.

Millions Will be Spent Says Com
mander in Chief.
San Francisco, Aug. ST. Itchioka,
commander in chief of the imperial
Japanese navy at Toxic, and S. Niwa,
chief engineer of the Yokohama har-
Dor works, are in the city. They are
homeward bound after two years
spent in inspecting ship building yards
in Europe and America. Mr.. Itchioka
says that Japan will spend millions in
enlarging her navy and in developing
her ship building facilities.
1--WE are going to build our own
ships hereafter" said he, instead OF
having it done in England and the
United States Our position is SIM
liar to that Of England. Our strength
must continue to be our navy. The
tonnage of our navy now is equal to
that Of the United States, and we in
tend to double it. Russia and France
are leagued against us, and with the
completion of the trans Siberian line
Russia will no longer hide her claws.
We must be prepared"
Mr.. Itchioka is greatly impressed
with American shipyards and thinks
Americans are the most progressive
of all people He considers the United
States navy the finest of its kind in
the world.

CROPS REPORTS BAD.
Government Forecast Expected to
Show Big Shortage.

New York, Aug. 10.-The reports
from the corn areas of the southwest
are about as bad as they well can be.
The Cincinnati Price Current, de-
servedly one Of the highest authorities
in the grain trade, reduced its esti-
mate of the production of corn from
1,500,000,000 bushels by one or two
hundred thousand bushels. The in
side figure is still far above the calcu-
lations of many corn experts Of Chi
cage, st. Louis and Kansas City, who
do not hesitate tc voice the opinion
that the crop will not exceed 1,200,-
100000 bushels and may not run
above 1,100,00O,000 bushels.
The government crop report, due
today, is expected to foreshadow a
1,4OO,000,000 bushel crop. The gov
eminent bureau obtains its informa-
ton from farmers, who can usually be
depended to paint in blacklist colors
crop damage news, it being to their
interest to produce the impression of
light yields. 1t is noticed this year,
however, that the experts lead the
farmers in their estimate of deadly
damage.
The railroads that would naturally
be the worst sufferers from damage
to the southwest and western crops
are the Atchison. Rock Island, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Burlington and Union
Pacific, the latter least of all, perhaps

WAR IS
FEARED
OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON
ANXIOUS OVER SOUTH AMER
ICAN TANGLE.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The situa'
ton in Colombia and Venezuela con-
tinues to occupy much attention of the
officials here and while it is not felt
that affairs have reached a serious
aspect yet it is appreciated that both
official and unofficial advices indicate
might mean war between
Colombia and Venezuela, COM
plicated by revolutionary out
breaks in both countries. Yesterday
the state department received a
rather lengthy mail communication
ma and though this is dated nearly a
month ago it told of the landing of a
revolutionary expedition and ex-
pressed the current belief held at
Panama that this would be followed
by other expeditions.
The department also received a let
ter from j. Edward Simmons of New
York, president Of the Panama rail
road company, confirming his com
munication relative to trouble on the
isthmus, stating that the superinten-
dent of the road had advised him as
to depredations of an insurgent band
which did not number, however, over
so. A more serious aspect in the mat
ter came in the press dispatches from
Willemstad, stating that the Colon
bians again had invaded Venezuela.
There is no official confirmation as
to this, but if it should prove correct
there seems little chance of avoiding
open conflict between these two coun-
tries, as such invasion by Colombia
would be in itself an act of war. But
the authorities here prefer to take d
conservative view Of the situation un-
til official advices are in hand. When
inquiry was made as to why officials
at Bogota and elsewhere did lot
send full information on the subject
it was stated these officials were not
there to communicate the news but
only to advise this government as
preliminary to any official action
which might become necessary. At
the navy department no further steps
have been taken towards sending
ships to the isthmus. It was decided
to definitely send the battleship Wis
consin down to San Diego, Cal, in
case Of the desirability CT that move.

FIND STOLEN GOLD
BIG TREASURE LOOTED AT FRS.
CO RECOVERED.
CLEVER THIEF CONFESSES
And Takes Officers to Point in Water
Where He Sunk His Immense
Booty-Greater Part Found-Cu-
prit May be Rewarded Instead of
Suffering Prosecution.

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win
tiers, who is under arrest for the Selby
smelling works robbery, has con-
fessed his crime and so far $4,000
worth of bullion has been recovered
from the bay where he sunk it. Su-
perintendent Ropp of the works
brought strong pressure to bear on
Winters by telling him they had a
strong case against him and that he
would be sent to prison for a long
term during which time all the plum
der would be recovered because it was
known to be hidden in the water near
the works.
Winters finally weakened and told
Ropp he had taken the gold and
would conduct him to the spot where
It was hidden. The criminal, in com.
pany with Ropp and a force of detec-
tives, left on a tug Friday night for
Crockett. There they waited all night
for low tide. Winters pointed out
place at the end Of a railroad wharf,
behind the coal bunkers at the begin
ming of the Vallejo ferry slip. At that
point at low tide the mud is about
four feet deep and covered by a foot
of water. Yesterday morning Winters
himself got into the mud and water
up to his neck for an hour and a half
and grouped for the missing bullion.
The deep mud finally put a stop to
the operations and it was decided to
build a Golfer dam before trying to re-
cover the rest of the treasure. Win
tiers told the officers he planned the
robbery long ago with minute details.
He had been three months working
on the little tunnel 1t had taken two
nights labor to cut through the brick
wall Most of the boring in the bot
tom of the vault had been done on the
night when the gold was taken. He
carried the plumber from the vault to
the water about a quarter of a mile,
making IA round trips. Winters on
the last trip perceived the dawn was
breaking. Not daring to complete the
trip, he laid on the shore the two
bricks which were found Tuesday
morning at the point where the rob-
bers' boat was supposed to have land
ed. A trail of red pepper ending at
that point had been a blind. In view
of the fact that promises of cIemency
were made to Winters in considera-
ton of his unearthing the gold, it is
thought his punishment will be light.
Detective Gibson is quoted as saying it
was promised Winters by President
Ralston of the Selby smelling works
that he should not only not be prose
cuted, but should receive $4,000.

The Cadillac.

seven nautical miles to leg and for
twO-thirds of the distance was excit-
lngly close. A steady 12-knot breeze
fired at IL. The first leg lay east
northeast from the start and both
boats started with their sheets bit, the
invader having secured the weather
berth as we'll as a slight lead There
was some sea. just a bit lumpy, but
both boats found a fairly clean way
through it. The defender was under
working jib and single reefsail. The
Invaders main sail had couple of
tucks in it. and at that the Canuck
heeled until well over On it's sailing
lines.
The first leg was a fair reach at the
start, which became finer as the wind
hauled around and finally developed
into short beat to windWard, each
yacht having to make one brief tack
before turning the buoy. Turning the
first mark, which the Cadillac reached
55 seconds ahead of her rival, the rae
ers had a free run before the wind
on the second leg and set all light
canvass. But the wind had freshened
considerably after the start, almost
two hours before, and the last leg, a
fairly clOsehauled reach, was sailed in
a spanking 20-knOt breeze and good
lumpy sea. Here was where the De
troit Boat clubs centerboard yacht
showed great sailing qualities, gaining
i'm 1tn nd
keel from Canada. The sea was what
it appeared and the Invader, which
frequently was buried, appeared to be
a wet boat. The scow-like Cadillac
spanked the seas heartily and gave
the defender the appearance Of carry
ing big bone in her teeth, throwing
a big ripple of frothy spray which she
invariably lifted and slid on, instead of
checking and shuddering like her ri
val
One of the surprises of the race was
the way the fin-keel, with smaller bal
loon sails, held the center-board boat
when they were running free on the
second leg. The one had its heavy fin
to drag while the other, of course,
had it's board up; yet the latter gained
only IS seconds over the 7-knot run.
The feature Of the race was that of
the three legs none was beat to wind
ward
1t was planned so the third leg
would be beat to windward. but as it
happened, the windward leg counted
On by the judges as the supreme test
was really nothing more than a fine
reach The race was witnessed by a
large number of spectators ashore
and af1oat, sailing power craft Of all
kinds following the racing yachts all
the way around the course. It was a
somewhat quiet crowd during the first
half of the first leg when the Invader
appeared to have a slight lead, but
when the boats came together near
the end of this leg and the Cadillac
| was just about to cross the Invader
bows, hearty cheers went up on every
hand. The great crowd expressed
much enthusiasm as the Cadillac
gradually drew away and her victory
was greeted with noisy demonstra-
| ton. The official time taken from the
| starting signal to the first and second
| buOys and finish were respectively:
| Cadillac, 11:55:40, 12:51:30, 1:46:35
Invader, II: 56:35. II: 52:43 1: $3.50.

NEW MOSQUITO REMEDY.
Castor Bean Plants Said to be the
Thinu


Thing.
Chicago, Aug. 11.-Mosquitos are to
be banished from the Chicago parks
if recommendation recently made to
the commissioners by Prof. Frederick
Starr of the University of Chicago is
carried out. All that is necessary to
drive the pests away, says the pro-
lessor, are castor bean plants. This
discovery was made by Prof. Starr
while he was travelling in tropical
countries. He was supposed to be
studying anthropology during these
travels, but the exigencies of the
situation forced him for a time to
study the best method of driving off
the clouds of mosquitoes which made
life burden. Said the professor:
Zone night | was annoyed more
than usual. Thousands of the little
insects buzzed about me- Finally, in
desperation, | tore some branches
from a plant with which to brush
them away. I soon found that I did
not have to brush The mosquitoes
had disappeared, and did not come
back that night. The plant from
which l had torn the branches was
that of the castor bean. The next
evening again tried it with the same
success
Prof. G. NJ Chflds of the depart
ment of entomology of the University
Of Chicago confirms the statements
of Prof. Starr. He says there is
something in the castor bean plant
which is antipathetic to the mosquito,
but that he does not know what it is.

LAW NOT CONSTITUTIONAL
SO Attorney General Hicks Rules on
keeIeV Act

SO Attorney General Hicks Rules on
Kelley Act.
Attorney General Hicks yesterday
rendered an opinion declaring invalid
the law passed by the last legislature
to reimburse innocent purchasers of
Kelley cure county orders The leg
islature of 1895 passed a law permit
ting the treatment of patients at Kee-
ley Institutes at county expense
When the supreme court declared this
law unconstitutional there were a
large number of county orders out
standing in the hands of innocent pur-
chasers and the last legislature
passed bill appropriating $4,000 for
their relief The opinion is addressed
to Secretary of State Froehlich, Treas
urer Davidson and Attorney General
Hicks, who were named by the law
as the auditors of the accounts. In
his opinion Mr.. Hicks says:
Il believe this law to be in excess
of legislative power and in strict vio-
lation of constitutional provisions. 1t
is an attempt to make good certain
supreme court in this state. The law
under which these obligations were
contracted was held to be unconstitu-
tional and to be a statute merely in
form and not having any force or eff
feet as a law and therefore the obliga-
tons contracted Hereunder were ab-
solutely void. The state is asked to
80
moral obligation.
81 realize that the legislature has
great latitude in determining the
equity and justice OF claims and when
it's authority is exercised within the
grant of constitutional power it's con-
illusions will not be subject to judicial
review or determination; but when
such an exercise of power exceeds
the constitutional grant it then be-
comes subject to review by the judi
cial branch of the government. The
Legislature may not do by indirectiop
what it is directly prohibited from do,
ing. Public moneys which have been
taken by taxation from private indi-
viduals cannot be appropriated for
private use or benefit"
In conclusion Gen. Hicks says that
the matter is of a great deal of i'm
portance and involves a considerable
sum of money and that he realized
that his ruling may be challenged.
For this reason he did not render an
opinion until the expiration of the
sixty days allowed by the law for the
filing of claims, so that no claimant
would be deferred by anything. he
might say from filing his claim and
thus losing a possible right.

TONGUE TORN OUT.
Shocking Case of Brutality to be In
vestigated.

Oshkosh, Aug. 1.-THE efforts of the
state and local humane society have
resulted in the arrest of Peter Griesch
of Appleton, who is charged with pull
ing horses tongue from it's mouth
Yesterday Constable J. L. Coonen of
Dundas, Calumet county, was in the
city to notify DR.. Wilkie to appear at
the hearing of Griesch, before Justice
J. W. Breucker of Dundas. Constable
Coone arrested Griesch on a warrant
sworn out by Dr. Wilkie and Griesch
pleaded not guilty.
The case as it has been reported is
one Of unusual barbarity. 1t has been
the subject of investigation by State
Agent Whitehead and of considerable
comment throughout the state. The
state instructed DR.. Wilkie to prose
cute, and after failing to secure aid
from the Chiffon authorities of Calu-
met county, in which the alleged
crime was committed, DR.. Wilkie
placed his warrant in the hands of the
Dundas constable, who executed it.
The examination of the manned
horse by DR.. Wilkie and Mr.. White
head convinced both those gentlemen
that the case was a serious one, re-
curing thorough investigation. Dr.
Wilkie said that he found nearly the
entire loose portion Of the tongue had

been torn out 1t is now left for the
criminal process that has been insti-
tuted to determine the manner in
which the organ was removed.
The Appleton papers have rather
taken sides in this matter, the Post
mentioning Mr. Griesch's name and ex.
planning the injury to the horse as an
accident, wholly devoid of intentional
cruelty; and the Crescent avoiding
mention Of names, alleges that
the case constituted an outrage of al
most unparalleled atrocity In a re-
cent issue the Crescent says: "Tn
spite Of the reluctance of certain wit
nesses, who few days ago, told their
story as eye-witnesses broadcast on
the streets and even to officers, to
now admit that they know of the
the truth will in due
time be established, and the RESPONSE
bility placed where it belongs.
