he commenced his own little private eA-
change.
What Jay Hoy considered the master
piece OF his handiwork, however, is tiny
ocean steamer made entirely or gold. Inc
vessel is about two inches long and an inen
across. For such a small model IL Is a re-
markably faithful reproduction. Every
thing from smokestack to portfolios. not
Tiger than pin head are present. To add
90 the realism small threads OF gold. inter-
woven with fine black cotton lead from the
stacks. When Jay Hoy places this little
mechanical marvel in the palm OF his hand
ii is easy TO see that he considers 1t his
greatest work.
But Jay Hoy can do more than copy. He
is the inventor OF a safety reading lamp
which he has on exhibition in his room,
and which he himself uses nightly. 1t Is
not adaptable for American purposes be-
cause IL was made to be used on the little
Chinese open burner or lamp, which very
much resembles our alcohol lamp. A small
shelf is built above the readers bunk and
from this Is suspended the lamp, which
sets in a basket-like receptacle made OF
wire. Then a swinging rod Is run from the
shelf to n point just above the occupant S
head. On this rod are adjusted pulleys over
which runs fine flexible wire. At the 9TH
er end Of the wire a tin cup just large
enough TO snuff the light from the little
lamp. The reader can adjust his book in
any position while he reclines in comfort
Then, should he drop off to sleep, desire
TO do so without the effort of rising to
blow out the light, he simply releases his
hold on the book. When he does so the
rod above spings round, lowers the little
cup, which drops over the flame, extin-
gushing it. A disastrous fire in Chinatown
prompted Jay Hoy TO make this device.

Wood for Paper Makers.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

Balsam fir and the common cottonwood
make excellent paper pulp, and the manu-
facturers of pulp might as well take notice
of that fact and act upon it before they
have swept away our native spruce from
the limits of the United States. II Is sound
economy to use for pulp, wood that grows
quickly and easily and is not specially use
full for anything else. The Bureau OF For
estry is trying TO convey this idea 10 the
pulp makers. 1t viii convince them only
when Ii can be demonstrated that they can
make more profit by grinding up fir and
poplar than by destroying spruce which is
potentially a much more valuable tree.

TO SAVE HER FATHER.
Young Lady Shot and Killed by n
Man Who Was Trying to Rob Her
Father.

Nedford. Mass. May Miss Nellie
Sturtevant, aged %. daughter of
Treasurer James s, Sturtevant, of the
Medford county Operative Bank, was
shot and killed at her home late last
night by an unknown man who at
tempted to rob her father as he was
returning from a bank meeting with Il
satchel filled with checks and money.
The assassin then jumped upon his
bicycle and escaped. An Italian who
answered the description of the mur
Aerer was arrested two hours later on
suspicion.
As Mr.. Sturtevant stepped upon the
piazza of his house his wife and
daughter opened the door and a few
Words of greeting passed between
them. At that moment rough look

of the piazza and. revolver in hand

Norfolk, Va, May cit came to
light today that among the passengers
on the steamer Hamilton at the time
of the disaster early yesterday morn
ing was Miss Schley, daughter OF Rear
Admiral Schley, of the navy, who with
other women passengers on the Hamil-
ton assisted by the steamers steward
esS, raised $95 in cash, which was dis
tributed among the most Of the Sagl-
naw's survivors. No advices have BEEN
received here from the scent of the
collision since yesterday. The hydro
graphic office has charted the Saginaw
as a dangerous obstacle in the path of
coastwise shipping.
1t is learned that the cargo of the
Saginaw while not complete, was very
valuable. 1t consisted of naval stores,
turpentine, rosin, tobacco. domestic
sheeting and yarns from factories
hereabOutS, and similar freight. It's
exact value is not known, but one hun
dred thousand dollars is mentioned.
The value Of the Saginaw is said by
experts to have probably been about
$3.50, ,O00
President Guillaudeu, of the Old Do
minion steamship company, arrived
here this morning with Superrntend-
ing Engineer Higgins, of New York.
These with the local agent, M. B. Cro-
we'll, and Division Superintendent
Earnest, made an examination of the
damages to the Hamilton. It was de-
cided that the ship could with safety
proceed to New York and she sailed
this evening. When she arrives at
New York a survey will be held and
the vessel will probably go into dry
dock. This is not absolutely necessary
since the damage is all above the wa
ter line.
Local mechanics this morning began
to patch the holes made in the HamiI-
toms bow when she cut into the stern
OF the Saginaw. Heavy iron plates
were riveted over those torn away.
The damage was about $4,000.
A thorough inquiry will be made in
to the collision. The supervising In
spector for the third district is Cap
tain John w. CAST, who has his head
quarters here. His district extends
from New Jersey to Porto Rico The
collision having occurred in his dis
trict, it is probable that the investiga-
ton will be held here.
CAPTAIN TUNNELL.
Philadelphia, May 6-Captain James
S. Tunnel, of the Clyde Line steam
er Saginaw, which was sunk yesterday

He was accompanied by Chief En-
gineer J. n. Selzer Assistant Engineer

and his head is badly lacerated. He
Is also internally injured and suffers
greatly from shock. He was removed

statement was made today by Postmas-
ter General Payne. Mr.. Payne said
that the increase by $1,000 of the ap-
preparation for the contingent expenses
of his own office had been made for
the purpose of investigating the affairs
Of the department along these lines but
he admitted that it was not at that
time anticipated that the Investigate ton
would prove sensational. The details
Of the proposed general investigation,
he said, have not yet been formulated
owing to the fact that all efforts are
now being concentrated on the investi-
CATION now in hand.
1t will cover all first class postiffices
whose annual receipts aggregate d half
million dollars. Mr.. Payne said today
that the present administrative meth

operation by former postmaster Cen
era1 Wanamaker fourteen years ago
and since then the business of the de-
partment had trebled. He said that
it might be that some of the methods
were faulty and the practices irregular
and that the investigation would be
made in the hope of initiating new and
better methods as we'll as correcting
abuses.

safe of the office of the assistant at

partment by Mrs. James n. Tyner, wife
of the then assistant attorney general.
is now regarded as practically a closed
incident. The papers were taken on
April 21st and the case was referred to
the United States attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia a week later. The
matter has not progressed further. 1t
has not been presented to the grand
jury and it is generally believed that
the grand jury would not be likely to
take action because of lack of proof
that the papers taken were government
property.

ROOsEyELT,s PERIGRINATIONs.
Arizona Gave Him n Warm Welcome.
He Met Some of His Comrades in
California.

Grand Canyon, AriZ., May 6.-AriZO-
ma welcomed President Roosevelt here
today and the welcome it gave him
was a warm one. A special train from
Flagstaff brought a large crowd and
people also came in from the surround
ing country on horseback and in Wag-
Ons. The presidents train arrived here
at 9 o'clock this morning and until it
left at 6 o'clock in the evening he was
constantly on the go. Horses were in
waiting at the station as the train
pulled in and after the president had
greeted a number of members Of his
old regiment, he mounted and took a
II mile ride. Then he returned to the
hotel where he made a brief address
to the people and presented diplomas to
the graduates Of the Flagstaff school.
1T was from AriZOna,'' said the pres
ident in opening his address, that so
many gallant men came into the regi-
men that he had the honor to command.
Arizona sent men who won glory on
hard fought fields and men to whom
came a glorious and an honorable
death, fighting for the flag Of their
country. AS long as I live, it will be to
me an inspiration to have served with
Buck ONeall.''
The president also paid a compliment
to governor Brodie who was a member
of his regiment and who introduced
him to the audience.
Grand Canon, AriZ, May 6.-The pres
ident extended a word of greeting to
the Indians a number of whom were in
the crowd. Some of them We're in my
regiment, he said. They were good
enough to fight and die and they are
good enough for me to treat as square
ly as any white man. There are a
great many problems in connection with
them. You have got to save them from
corruption from brutality and ! regret
to say at times we have to save them
from certain eastern philanthropy
At the conclusion Of his remarks the
| president rode out to a miners camp
about fifteen miles from here where he
| had luncheon At o'clock his train

MEANS WAR.
Lord LansdOwne Lays Down Mon
roe Doctrine to the Persian
GuIf-WiH Fight Any Power That
Trespasses.

London. May 6.-Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has proclaimed n British
Monroe Doctrine in the Persian gulf
and has practically notified the COM
peting powers that any attempt on
their part to establish a naval base or
fortified post in those waters means
war with Great Britain.
81 say without hesitation,' said the
foreign secretary dealing with the sub
ject in the House of Lords yesterday,
that we should regard the establish
ment of a naval base of a fortified
port IN the Persian Gulf by any other
power as a very grave menace to Brit
ish interests and we should certainly
resist it with all the means at our dis
nOSal."
Lord LansdOWne preceded this eX-
plicit enunciation of British policy by
n review of the situation there as it
affected British interests, cOntending
that so far as the navigation of the
Persian Gulf was concerned Great
Britain held a position different to
that of the other powers both because
it was owing to British enterprise and
expenditure of life and money, that
the gulf was now open to the COM
merce of the world and because Of the
protection of the sea route to India.
Lord LanSdOwne'S attitude in this
matter generally meets with approval,
although the answer thereto from the
other powers interested in the gulf are
awaited with some anxiety.

Washington, May 6.-The latest ad-
vices received here indicate that Pres
ident MarrOqufn. of Columbia, has al
most decided not to call a special ses-
sion of the Columbian congress to act
upon the Panama canal treaty. When
the call was issued for an election of
the members of the Columbian con-
gress. it was then the intention to call
a special session about the 18th in
stant. the call naming the Panama
treaty as the first subject to be consid-
cred. financial measures to follow, but
the opposition developed to the treaty
has been more pronounced than the
president supposed and he has thus far
refrained from naming the day of the
meeting. hoping that as the election
progressed the government would be
reasonably sure of a majority to carry
out it's programme. But the opposition
continues to gain and the prospects for
n government majority so doubtful
that President Marroquin now seems
indispOsed to act. In that event the
Columbian congress would under the
constitution assemble July 2Oth in reg
ular session. At that session it might
take up the canal treaty, but mucn
doubt is felt here as to whether or not
the treaty would be taken up at ALL
This outlook however, does not dis
courage the officials who had to do
with the making of the treaty. The
United States government has gone so
far in it's negotiations with Columbia
that confidence is felt here that Presi-
dent MarrOquIn will feel himself bound
to carry out the engagements into
which he has entered. The Columbian
constitution has some peculiar para
graphs enlarging the powers of the
executive in case of disturbed cond1-
tions beyond any degree known IN the
United States. and if there is the
slightest sign of forcible opposition to
the government or of revolutionary
uprisings such as have been limited at
in the stories from Kingston, Jamaica,
and from Isthmian points. Indicative OF
n purpose to sever the isthmus from
Columbian sovereignty, the president
may arrOgate to himself dictatOrial
power and himself go to the length of
ratifying the canal treaty with the
United States If he does so the Unit
ed states government will sustain the
title thus acquired.

who left the interior of Breathitt coun-
ty at dawn Monday to bear a warning
to Attorney j. p. Marcum that a plot
to kill him had been formed the night
before, reached Jackson q few minutes
after an assassins bullet had crashed
through Marcum'S brain and heart, as
he stood in the court house door. Dur
ing Sunday Edward Strong, a friend
of Marcum, was informed that con-
spiracy had been entered into at a
meeting of several desperate men at
a blind tiger three miles from Jackson
to assassInate Marcum Monday. At
day light he sent a messenger to con-
vey the information to the attorney
who lay dead when he arrived. This
statement was made by Mrs. Marcum
in an interview today. If the meeting
at the blind tiger Sunday night told of
by the widow can be proved, the as
sasSin and the plotterS may yet be
known.
Any investigation must be strictly
within legal bounds and it may be i'm
possible even then to make people feel

Jackson tonight described the situation
there by saying:
The town inay be compared only to
a man sitting on barrel of powder in
a shower of sparks. When the explos-
ION Will come no one knows, but l be-

men know who aSSaSSinated James

is believed their fate is sealed. Such
knowledge in Breathitt means death or
exile There are also others left who
know who asSaSsinated Jim Cockrell.

people remain or there is the possibil-
ity of a rigid investigation by the law,
I believe that they will be put out of

that the people not involved in the

Becllham to bring peace to Breathitt
