WATER MADE DAMS.
Hydraulic Power Used to Either De
stroy or Construct in the West.

Hydraulic Power Used to Either De-
stroy or Construct in the West.
Some Of the old-time operations of the
miners for placer gold and the use Of
the hydraulic giant have suggested an
ingenious method of constructing dams
for reservoirs in the West, says Hy-
drographer HOLSTER of the United
States geological survey. The hydraulic
giant was found to be most effective
and powerful agent in removing even
compact bodies of earthen material. A
stream Of water, brought from an eleva-
ton under great pressure and directed
against the face of hill in which gold
was supposed to rest, tore its way into
the mass with tremendous force, cutting
out large amounts of the material and
washing them away, the waste water
asserting the fine from the coarse par
ticles. The sand and gravel thus washed
away was carefully examined for the
precious metal.
OF recent years hydraulic power has
been employed to almost reverse this
process. For example, if an earth dam
is to be built, the material rolled along
by the water is carried in fumes to the
selected spot. On leaving the fume
small boulders and coarse gravel are at
farther. and the fine mud is carried in
suspension for considerable distances. It
is thus possible to deposit the gravel on
the outer slope of the dam and the finer
material in the center, thus making a
central impervious clay wall and heavy
coating of coarser gravel on the upper
and lower faces of the dam. The ma
terial being deposited under water is
thoroughly compacted, and there is less
danger of settlement or of porous layers
being formed than in the case Of dirt
placed by carts or scrapers. A number
of dams, notably in Southern California
and in Texas, have been built with extra
ordinary speed and small expense in this
way and even high railroad embank-
ments have been constructed in like

Abdul Hamid. Turkeys Sultan,
Sat upon his golden throne:

They can't get along with one.

Creditors increase my ills
Yet I'm happy with my harem.

Or the y1l have to go to work.

But l have this consolation,
My wives don't dictate to me.

Contented Minds Make Happy Homes

Some Of the happiest and most ideal
homes, where peace, contentment and
harmoney dwell, have been the abodes of
poor people. No rich carpets coyerd the
floors, no costly paintings were ON the
walls, and there were no pianos, no
works of art; but there were contented
minds, and unselfish and devoted lives.

as much as possible to the happiness Of
all, endeavoring to compensate by kind

New Turkey Roasting Wrinkles.

The best way to prepare turkey is
to bake it with the breast down; says

Old Quarter, near the French market,
New Orleans, has become famed all over
the country. She never thinks Of bak-
ing a turkey with the breast up: The
breast is turned to the bottom Of the

and as sweet and juicy as one would
care to have it,. You see all the fine
favoring Of the turkey, the juices Of the
dressing and all the daintier touches flow
down toward the breast of the fowl.
and when the white meat is served Won
get the full benefit of every flavor added
during the processes Of preparing and
baking the turkey, in addition to the dis
tinctive taste Of the fowl ITSELF. IT,
Inconvenient and awkward? Not at
all. It is just as easy to cook a turkey
in this way as in any other way, and
the result is infinitely more satisfactory.

There are thousands OF farmers In our

MAY CONVERT ITS STOCK
DECISION IN FAVOR OF THE UNITED

Injunction Against Carrying Out h
Bond Scheme Dissolved by the
New Jersey Court of Appeals.

TRENTON, n. j., Sept. 19.-The Court
Of Errors and Appeals this afternoon, by
a vote Of s to 3. decided in favor of the
United States Steel Corporation In the
suit brought by Mrs. Berger to restrain
the corporation from converting $500, 100000
7 per cent. stock into 5 per cent. second
preferred mortgage bonds. Vice Chancellor
Emory, I'm the court below, granted an in
junction restraining the company from car
rying out its purpose. The decision of the

10 carry out its project so far as the Berger
litigation is concerned.
No opinion was filed. the court simply
announcing it's decision. The opinion will
be filed later. 1t was. announced by the
court that Justice Van Sickel would write

Eighty Men and Two Quick Firing

Cincinnati Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Secretary OF
the Navy Moody to-day made public a ca
blegram received from Commander Mclean.
of the Cincinnati. the officer in command
of the United States naval forces on the
isthmus:
Have sent the following communication
to both parties: Have to inform you that
thefCnited States naval forces are guarding
the railway trains and line of transit across
the Isthmus Of Panama, from sea 10 sea;
that no person whatever will be allowed TO
obstruct, embarrass or interfere In any
manner with the trains or the route OF
transit. This is without prejudice or any
desire to interfere in domestic contentious
Of the Colombians.'
1t was admitted by a high official OF the
Navy Department to-day that this govern
ment is seriously considering a further REIN
forcement Of the United States naval force
on the isthmus and that 1t Is not at all IN
likely that an additional force to operate
along the line of railway will be ordered to
the scene in a few days. 1t Is understood
that there is no present intention to order
more warships to the isthmus, as the Navy
Department considers the vessels already
there. or under orders, ample to meet any
emergency which may arise on the water.
1t was stated In an authoritative quarter
to-day that the information furnished by
Commander Mclean to the Navy Depart
ment plainly shows that the naval force
there is kept constantly on it's guard to
make good our treaty guarantee of free
transit. So whatever additional force is
sent will cooperate with the marines al
ready there and those en- route on the Pan
ther in a close watch on the railway.
Governor Salazar, who is the leading Co
1ombian government representative on the
isthmus. Is bare thirty years old. He at
tanned his present position through gallant
conduct during a siege Of Panama several
years ago. Partly from his youth and in
experience he has embarrassed the govern
ment to some extent on several occasions.
notably when some months ago he issued
an order to censor all the official foreign
mail. BY direction of his government he
subsequently revoked this order.

DECISION OF THE COURT.
Injunction Granted by Judge Field
Upheld by Highest Tribunal.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 19.-The injunc-
ton granted yesterday by Judge Emmett
Field, Of the Jefferson Circuit Court, re-
straining the Southern Athletic Club and
others from pulling off the McGovern-Cor-
bett contest for the feather-weight cham
pionship of the world at Louisville on Mon
day evening next, was sustained by Assoc
ciate Judge James D.. White. Of the Court
of Appeals, this afternoon, and the contest
will not be held In Kentucky. Judge White
invited the full bench of the court to sit
with him and hear the case, which all but
one member did, and the decision Is one of
the court, though motion to dissolve the
Der of 1t. The opinion of the court reads:
1.-The majority of the court who heard
the application to dissolve the injunction
of Judge Field are of opinion that the con-
test which has been enjoined Is a prize fight,
and that II Is not material whether the
victor in the contest is to receive more Of
the reward offered than the vanquished.
The court is divided equally upon the ques-
ton whether the chancellor has preventive
power to restrain the holding of such a
contest, Chief Justice Guffy and Judges
White and Burnam holding the negative
and Judges Durell. Hobson and Orear hold
ing the affirmative. The motion to dissolve
is therefore denied"
The argument of the motion to dissolve
consumed five hours time, and Judge White
filed his opinion after thirty minutes con-
sultation with his associates of the court.
The decision is, lawyers say, so far-reach-
ing that Ii will prevent all boxing contests
in Kentucky in the future.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Sept. 19%.-Jupiter
Pluvius interrupted the game here this aft
ernoon, but the Indianapolis men are after
the championship, and If they play in st.
Paul as they finished here to-day neither
Greek god nor saint will prevent them
attaining their goal. With the score 5 to 3
against them in the seventh the visitors
made a spectacular finish, tying the score
I'm that inning and winning in the eighth,
when play ended on account Of a rain
storm. The locals had everything their
own way for six innings, having held the
lead without a break for this number of
rounds. A heavy rain set in at this stage.
and. as everything pointed to a cessation of
hostilities on account of Jupiter Pluvius's
interference, the small Grove was j%ubilant.
The visitors insisted that play SO on. how
ever. and, despite the rain. which was now
coming down in torrents, the game con-
tinued uninterrupted.
Kihm opened up the seventh with a drive
through the left half of short field, went to
second on a passed ball, to third on an in
field out and ounted on the throw in of
Kuhns's out to center. Woodruff then sent
the ball to left, and while he was on first
Newlin shot the sphere towards Byers in
an attempt to catch Woodruff. The throw
went to the bleachers and the Indianapolis
fielder completed the circuit before the ball
could be recovered. The last tally tied the
score. Minneapolis did not get a pleasant
look in its half of the same round. The
field was slippery and the rain was heavier
than ever when the eighth opened. Will
liams started of the fireworks witt a drive
over second, stole second and registered on
inning with a timely single to right and
Hogriever scampered home with the second
run. This put the champions two to the
good. In the locals half the first two men
went out In short order and CULLEN drove
one over second but was forced by Sullivan
at second. The field was now a sea of mud
and water and Umpire Tindel said
Enough" the game ending at this stage.
The locals gave Williams a warm recep-
ton In the first inning, walloping his bend
ers for two singles and a pair of doubles,
resulting In three runs, but outside of this
round they were unable to bunch their
drives and 1t was only through errors by
Fox and Kihm that they were able to get
their other two tallies. Barring a brilliant
catch by Hogriever in the third. features
were conspicuous for their absence. Score:

Ed Cain and Willie Fitzgerald last
night went ten rounds to a draw at the
Empire Theater, furnishing the most ex-
citing contest ever held in Indianapolis.
The crowd, while not as large as ave
been seen at previous exhibitions at that
theater. was well pleased with the exhibi-
ton given by the sparring partners OF
Terry McGovern and Young Corbe.t. n
declared IL 10 be the most scientific boxing
match ever seen in Indianapolis.
Cain and Fitzgerald were In excellent
condition and were able TO mix matters all
the time. They were at each other from
gong to gong I'm every round. and the ex-
hibition OF infighting was even better than
that seen here when santry and Young
Mowatt met last July. Cain was n little
heavier than his opponent and did most OF
the leading. but Fitzgerald displayed great
cleverness In blocking the leads. and I'm
the earlier rounds was able 10 land fire.
quently on Gains head and wind. In the
latter part of the bout Cain forced the
boxing and rushed Fitzgerald around the
the tenth round Referee Ryan declared,
the contest a draw. which met general
approval.
1t was announced last night that In all
probability Hughey McGovern. brother Of
the Brooklyn lad. and the Canadian Kid
will meet at the Empire one night next
week IN a ten-round contest TO a decision.
Terry McGovern VIII probably appear the

MORE MARINES LANDED.


COLOR Colombia, Sept 19.-SeveraI nun
dred government troops were brought out
this morning and it was the intention of
the authorities TO have them take a train
for Panama. The railroad company de-
clined to entrain the soldiers on the s
o'clock passenger train, but subsequently
placed a special train at their disposal.
Shortly after s o'clock eighty blue jack
cts from the United States cruiser Gin
%cinnati. together with two ~quick-fring
Colt guns, were landed in Colon. This
action is believed to be due to the receipt
of reliable information that a representa-
tive OF the insurgent General Herrera
is at San Pablo, a station on the railroad.
Under these circumstances the government
decided not to entrain the troops for Pana-
ma. They will remain at Colon.
In the meantime the railroad dispatched
a special train with definite instructions
from Commander Mclean, of the Cincin-
natl. to General Herrera's representative
at a Pablo, saying that insurgent troops
would not be permitted to stop trains over
the isthmus, o. board them, as American
marines were maintaining the traffic from
sea to sea. A large force of insurgents is
said to be quite close to San Pablo. If
this Is so there is likely to be fighting at
any moment. The return of the special
from San Pablo will bring further news
of the situation.
