CARE OF SEAMEN
IS PROVIDED FOR
Government Will Look Out for InvaIids
on the Great Lakes

Globe Special Washington Service,
1417 G Street
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27. -
The treasury department, acting for
the marine hospital service, has made
contracts for the care of seamen en-
titled to relief from the government
during the coming fiscal year. Under
the laws, seamen who are sick are en-
titled to medical attendance and nurs-
and free burial is given in case of
death, unless relatives or friends ap-
pear to take charge of the bodies.
The contracts are made in nearly all
the principal sea ports and lake ports
in the United States and at some in
terror places. At st. Paul medical at
tendance will be furnished by an act
ing assistant surgeon of the marine
hospital service. AT Duluth the med
ical attendance is to be furnished by
an acting assistant surgeon; st. Luke's
hospital will furnish quarters, subsist
ence, nursing and medicines at 80 cents
day, and Charles J Stewart will pro-
vide for the burial of deceased patients
at SIG each. A contract has been made
at Ashland, Wis, by which DR.. j. M.
Dodd will furnish quarters, subsist-
ence, nursing and medical attendance
at 80 cents a day, and will provide
burial at $12 each.
The medical attendance at Bismarck,
N. D., will be provided by a surgeon
of the marine hospital service, and
John H. Skarren will furnish quarters,
subsistence, nursing and medicines at
81 day. Webb brothers will provide
for burial at SIS each.
In different parts of the country the
contracts providing for burial of sail
ors range in price from 81 to SIS, but
presumably what is known as de
cent burial is to be provided in each
case. Walter E. Clark.

HAVE IDEAS ON SHIPS
DetroitMen EnIlghtenMerchant
Marine investigators

DETROIT, Mich. June GA SUBJ
committee of the congressional mer-
chant marine commission held a hear
ing here today William E. Living
stone, president of the Lake Carriers
association, presented statistics on the
business passing through the 500 and
Welland canals as showing enormous
proportions and phenomenal growth of
the commerce of the lakes.
Mr.. Livingstone thought an increase
In the size of ships would be beneficial
to American commerce on the high
seas. He said that while some people
referred to ship subsidies as graft"
1T was necessary to devise some means
to meet the difference in wages be-
tween European and American labor.
A. c. Pessano, Of this city, president
of one of the largest ship yards on the
Great Lakes, advocated a waterway
connecting the Great Lakes and the
Atlantic coast, and favored differential
duties as opposed to ship subsidies.
He said that he really favored a SUBJ
sidy, but feared it could not be passed
by congress. Therefore he had be-
come favorable to a plan of differential
duties as a compromise that would be
possible of accomplishment.
George Y. WiSner, of Detroit wide
ly known engineer, said that while
New York was preparing to build
twelvefoot canal from the lakes to the
coast, Canada could have a connecting
waterway from Georgian bay to the
ottawa river with the necessity of
building actually forty miles of canal.
The Canadians, he said, had been
awaiting the decision of New York
regarding the construction of a canal.
Now the prospect was that con-
struction company would be formed
this year in Canada; but if New York
went ahead with deep waterway
he thought the Canadian project would
not be carried out.
Attorney Fred A. Baker, of Detroit,
read a paper in which he declared that
the people OF Michigan are strongly
opposed to the granting of any govern
ment bounty or subsidy to any private
enterprise.

Among the many clever devices that
have been adopted by smart gown
makers, to give ample fullness to the
bottom of the skirt without adding too
much gfrth to the hips and upper por-
ton, is skirt model with bias seam
down the front and wide, fan-shaped
sides that flare charmingly around the
feet and yet fit comparatively snugly
above. This model is admirably adapt
ed to thin wooden fabrics, silks and lin
ems. In softer materials the favorite
skirt is one of from eleven to fifteen
cores, the smaller number being used
for stout figures and the latter for tall,
thin figures. 1t may be plated, either
in small box or single plaits or gather
ed, and may, of course, be trimmed in
any desired manner.
Ultra fashionable dressmakers, how
ever, trim street, gowns for city wear
but slightly and what little trimming
is used is almost invariably Of the same
color as the gown, though it may be a
shade lighter or darker.

Wind Brings Death

NEW YORK, June q. - A cy-
clone struck the village of Haledon, a
suburb of Paterson, N. J., today. It
swept away the Hopper ice houses and
at least one man, John WELDING, who
was employed by the Rogers locomo-
tive works, was killed. There are five
ice houses, each fifty feet long. All
were wrecked.
1t is believed that others were killed
and workmen were busy tonight clear
ing the wreckage. The cyclone came
tearing down through the mountains
and cut a swath half a mile wide,
sweeping away trees and destroying
gardens and farms.

the nominee should make a definite
statement of his position and unless
Gen. Miles made one they would vote
against him. National Chairman
Stewart said: 1--WE not only want a
man who believes in prohibition, but a
man who believes in the policy and the
methods of the political party. Neither
Gen. Miles nor his friends have said
that he is prohibitionist in that sense
and there are many prohibitionists who
believe it wise to nominate a man who
has been a prohibitionist in the party
sense of the word in the past"
Though it is said that Gen. Miles has
slgnlfied that he will accept the nomi-
nation if it be given him, when the let
tiers are produced they show that this
is only an inference, and the general up
to this time has not committed himself,

Engineer Objects to Having His Sal
airy Tied Up Ten Years

CHICAGO, June PIP. H. Rayiin,
a stationary engineer, declaring that
he had been induced by a collection
agency to assign his salary for ten
years, appealed today to the circuit
court for relief. Ravlin owed $50. In
his petition to have the assignment of
salary set aside he declared that he
was induced to sign at the collection
company offices a paper which he be-
lieved was an agreement to pay so cents
a month on the debt. Afterwards, he
says, he found the paper he signed was
an assignment to the collection COM
pany Of his wages for ten years. An
injunction to prevent the enforcement
of the wage assignment will be asked
for on the ground of fraud.

Gardens are ruined, everything in

handsome girl. Five years ago Cor
nelia Baxter and Maybelle Myers were
the most prominent girls in the west.
Miss Baxter startled the racing crowd
at LongchampS in Paris and Miss Ny
ers' tr1umphs were confined to the
West. Both girls were extremely blonde
and whereas Miss Myers was tall and
slender, Miss Baxter was small and
dainty. The youth of Denver were pros
trate at the feet of these beauties, and
all favored visitors from the East
We're presented to Miss Myers and
Miss Baxter. Curiously enough these
inevitable rivals were intimate friends.
Miss Bakers jilting of Gerald Hughes
and her marriage to Hugh Tevis are
an oft-told tale.
Miss Myers astonished Denver as
much by her runaway wedding as did
Miss Baxter with her sentimental in
cidents. Charles d. Carey, the man
who won Miss Myers, was rich ranch
owner and entirely untutored in the
ways of society. His rugged manner was
"a novelty to the girl after the drawing
room men who had wooed her. Fearing
her relatives would object to the man
from the plains, she eloped with him.
When his mining interests carried him
to Cripple Creek she willingly gave up
the life in which she had been reared.
1t was often said that the Carey mar
rage was one of the happiest in that
state of marital mistakes. Her death
was sudden and the result of the high
altitude of the mining camp. She pre-
ferred to risk her life rather than live
apart from her husband.
He was a painter who lived in West
Tenth street and at a studio tea he was
presented to Miss Mabel Gerry, Ell
bridge L. Gerry's daughter Mr.. Mahl-
stick had three7minute dialogue with
Miss Gerry, and ever since he has bur
dened his friends with the tale of this
studio tea. InT fact, every paragraph
in his "reminiscences began with when
l met Miss Gerry" Finally his friends
decided that Mr.. Mahlstick should be
taught a lesson and that his Gerry"
outbursts should be suppressed. One
day he was called to the telephone and
feminine voice purred: This is Miss
Gerry-Miss Mabel Gerry" Miss Ger
ry wanted Mr.. Mahlstick to join her
party at the Casino and she would send
a ticket to him. Would he go? Mr..
Mahlstick almost wrenched off the
transmitter in his 'ecstacy. The night
of the Gerry party he dressed in two
hours time and drove in hanson to
the theater. The ticket had arrived
duly, but when he strobe into the box,
beaming and happy, instead of an ar
ray of GerryS he saw only his artist
friends. Mr.. Mahlstick stood rooted
on the threshold. Then he Joined in
the laugh and the party givers were
rewarded. Miss Gerry's name was
never mentioned again.
