The District of Columbia will no
longer be the mother of myriad cor

upon a bill drafted today by the Cor
poration Counsel at the request of Com
missioner West.
The Commissioner thought the Dis
trict was getting to be too popular a
rendezvous for questionable aggrega-
tons Of capital to incorporate. and sug.
gested that the lenient laws be tenn
pered by demanding a larger fee for
filing certificates of Incorporation. The
Corporation Counsel, in forwarding the
desired bill to the Commissioners. says:
Il have had an examination made of
the schedule of fees in States whose
laws are supposed to be favorable to
interpretations, viz. New York. New
Jersey. Maine. Delaware. West Vir-
ginia- South Dakota. and Massachu-
sets. In most of these States a So
called franchise or organization tax IL
imposed. based upon the capital stock

Quired. all corporations hereafter incor-

the building Mrs. Maude Bennett ren
dered Mendelssohn' march. The bride
entered on the arm of her father, while
Leslie f. Wooc, brother of the bride, at

ers to the fifty invited guests, and Miss

nation imposed by the state superinten-
dent. 80 We're successful. says last
weeks Sunnyside sun. This Is the best
showing made by any school in the coun-
ty and is not only source of gratiii-
cation to pupils, parents and teachers
but is especially creditable to Prof. f
NJ. Douglass, who has had charge of the
eighth grade work in the Sunnysidc
schools for the past three years. Mr.
Douglass puts great deal OF energy
and conscience into his work and the
fact that he receives the highest salary
of any eigth grade teacher i'll the county
and has been engaged by the Sunnysidc
scnol board for the coming year is evil
dence that his efforts are appreciated
Appreciation is coming from Other
quarters also, as he is now being prom
inently mentioned as "A candidate for
the office OF county superintendent
Mr.. Douglass is eminently qualified for
this position. having had 20 years OF
active experience in school work and his
long residence IN the county-l2 years
gives him an acquaintance with condi-
tions that will prove invaluable. While
Sunnyside will prefer to retain him in
her schools she will give him a fine en-
dorsement should he be nominated.

Drowning of Charlie Shaw

mere mention was only permitted
last week. as the Herald was going to
press, of the drowning of Charlie Shaw,
who, with number OF young compan-
ions, was last Wednesday afternoon
swimming in the Yakima river just east
of Yakima avenue. From the investi-
CATION, it seems that the young man was
a victim of heart failure, probably
caused by the shock of the sudden change
of temperature from an over-heated con-
dition to the cooler waters of the river,
as the lungs failed to show that death
resulted from a plethora of water. The
body was recovered within short time,
and every effort was made at recussitat-
ion, but no evidence of life could be pro-
duced. The mother of the young man
died only few days before the accident,
and a married sister, who had just I'M
dergone a critical operation, syet in the
hospital.

LLOYD HAUSER DEAD.
A Bright Young Man the Victim of
Consumption.

Hugh Lloyd Hauser died at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. NJ
Hauser, Alb Yakima ave at 9 80 last
Sunday morning, aged 20 years and Il
days.
Lloyd, as he was generally known, wa:
young man of extraordinary mental
ity and had he lived to the biblica
allotted age would have made an envia blt
record.
He was natural genius and excelleG
at almost anything he undertook. Learn.
ing seemed to come to him withou,
effort. He possessed remarkable talen,
for free hand drawing, was natura
cartoonist at which, had he lived, he
would no doubt in time have become
famous. For more than a year he had
been keeping the accounts for the L. S
stricken with galloping consumption and
returned to the home of his parents last
February, who took him to Riverside,
California, some three months ago in the
hope of overcoming the disease, but
without benefit and they returned home
with him three weeks ago.
He was a graduate of the high school
here and OF Blair's Business College at
Spokane. Lloyd was of a very kind
and generous disposition, was loved by
his classmates and all with whom he
associated. He was member of the
Christian church, and, while during his
sickness he naturally desired to get well,
when he saw that fate was against him
he resigned himself to the inevitable
without a murmer and spoke words OF
comfort to his grief stricken parents,
brothers and sister.
The funeral was held at the Christian
church Tuesday morning and the burial
was at Tahoma cemetarv.
So passed away one of the brightest OF
North Yakima's young men,

Twenty-one Persons Are Drowned
Through Terrible Accident.
st. Petersburg, Russia.-The subma.
rine boat Delfn sank at her mooringa
in the Neya with the loss of Lieutenant
Cherkasoff and twenty men.
The officers and the men detailed for
submarine boat instruction had assem-
bled and three officers decided to go
down in the Delfn. although her cap.
tain was not present, relying on the ex.
p~erience of her skilled crew. A score
of novices were anxious to go.
The Delfin's nominal capacity is tea
men, instead of which thirty-two en-.
tered the boat, bringing her manhole
in dangerous proximity to the river
level.
Just then a tug passed, sending a
heavy wash against the boat. AS
soon as the water splashed into the
submarine boats interior it created a
panic among the novices and Il OF
them tried to get ont Of the manhole,
which the older hands were screwins
down preparatory to the descent, the
submerging compartment having al.
ready been opened.
The water rushed in, and as the SUBJ
merged vessel sank the officers and
some of the men were saved by being
blown up through the manhole by the
rush of escaping air. The Delfn short.
ly afterward was raised.
The Delfn is Russia's best subma.
rine boat. She underwent a successful
trial in 1903, following the Cronstadt
squadron to Regal.

Japanese Traits.

In no country is William Morris
golden rule, "Iave nothing about you
but what you know to be useful n
believe to be beautiful" so. scrupu-
lousy followed as in Japan. The po-
likeness of the Japanese-a sign OF
.equality"-the politeness OF this
hierarchical East. is in surprising con-
trast with the aggressive rudeness or
our democratic communities. Gentle
ness. cordiality, are the Japanese rule.
No scenes of violence. The readiness
with which Europeans fly into a pas.
sion stupefes the japanese, appears to
them to be a sign Of innate coarse.
ness. In his consideration for others,
a Japanese habitually refrains from
making any show Of his personal sor-
rows. Only her vanity has led Europe
to fancy that the Japanese regard
Western civ ilization as superior to
their own, and that therefore they are
"Europeanizing" themselves %purposely.
The Western diplomatist who de-
scribed modern Japan as a dad trans.
lation' merely shared the delusion and
conceit Of foreigners generally.-F.

JAPANESE STILL ADVANCE.
Large Armies Continue to Surround
the Russians.

Liau Yang. The Japanese continue
their advance from the eastward. The
southern Japanese army has advanced
ten miles beyond Senuchen and halted,
evidently awaiting the arrival OF Cen
eral Kuroki. Several days must elapse
before General Kuroki and General
Oku can get into position and Jointly
attack Tachichao, which it is believed
will be the most likely point for an
important battle.
Reports of fighting between the Rus
sian rear guard and the advance guard
regiments of the enemy are continu-
ally coming in: The battles are indie
cisive. but they show that the Japan
csc are in great strength and are NOV
ing forward regularly on each front,
despite strong opposition. This is cor
roborated by official dispatches. Mem
bers Of the Red Cross. together with
non-combatants who are DESTROYS Of
witnessing the fighting, are leaving
southwark daily. 1t is believed here
that a battle between the main armies
cannot be delayed longer than a few
days. aud unless General Kuropatkin
decides to abandon his positions south
of Haichen and risk the capture of the
small divisions between Stu Yen and
Tachichao, he will have to fight shortly.
