THE commission appointed to rec
ommend site for the naval training
station is still hearing arguments,
and eastern representatives. are max
ing determined efforts to locate the
station on Lake Erie. At present
Racine is believed to be the choice of
the commission, but Lake Bluff and
Put-in-Bay, o., are by no means out
of the running. There can be no
doubt but that the site offered at Ra-
cine is infinitely superior to the site
offered at Lake Bluff N every way,
and Pnt-in-Bay is too far east for the
purposes of the navy department., SO
that Racine would appear to have the
best chance in spite of the stiff Fl hit
put up by other cities. The struggle
for the station has aroused so much
bitterness, however, thatithe commits
sion may decide to throw out all the
leading candidates and award the
prize to some city that has not been
SO prominent in the fight.

The increasing number of railway
accidents with the attendant appa11-
ing loss of life, will result in tine in a
general demand for federal laws gov

the percentage killed annually in ac-

THE late Alexander Clark always
opposed electric lines on public high
ways if it was possible to secure a
private right Of way but the company
he represented must have abandoned
this policy if there is any truth in the
persistent rumor that the line to con-
meet Waukegan and Kenosha is to be
built west of the Northwestern tracks.
A private right of way west Of the
Northwestern would cost so much
that it is question if the additional
business secured by the road would
justify the expenditure and if it has
been decided that the line must be
put there the promoters will have to
ask for franchise on one of the pub
lie highways.

are through with Kenosha and this
morning Mr.. Cowe11 closed up his
Office in the Pugh building on Main

His Office has been rented to v. Hays,

Mr.. Cowe11 will probably continue
to reside in Kenosha, but his business

The change in the location of the
Offices of the Wisconsin Insurance

in all prosecution of the agents in

Incident of Sticking Elevator Car In

There is a special reason for having

and Speaker Cannon. The two men,
as it happened, were not then acquaint-
ed and stood silent in. the elevator
Wedged in with a dozen government
clerks who had gone to the lower story
to draw their salaries. The car had
lodged about three feet below the de-
sired floor, and all the elevator mans
manipulation of the machinery was
unable to bulge it.

like that, which furnishes the principal
motive of n of Mr.. Howells' plays,

can get up to that floor by myself
quicker than you a carry me-" And
he forthwith proceeded to Chamber up
to the floor level, leaving the gate open
behind him. brushed off his clothes and
went OH about his business.
None of the other passengers in the
elevator ventured to follow at once, but
all drew back to see what the ambas-
sadoi would do. Being not only a man
of resource, but also one of athletic
build, he promptly climbed out after
the speaker. There is a dreadful pos
sibility of diplomatic complications
should European sovereigns ever be in
formed that our government, by means
of it's elevator service. compelled the
personal representative of a friendly
monarch to approach the secretary of
state from a distance of a hundred
feet or more on hands and knees.

WHERE JAPAN is STRONGER

!. SlOat Fassett Says Japanese Can
Heat Russians Man For Man,.
]. Sloat Fassett of Elmira, who has
Travelled in Korea and who is now
Interested in mining properties there,
speaking recently In regard to Russian
and Japanese facilities for getting to
strategic points, said:
"The Russians at present have 900
600 troops scattered about railroads
connecting with Manchuria and about
10000 In the territory covered by the
railroads leading from V%ladivostok.
Japan, with her reserve forces, has an
available army of 100000. Japan's or
ganization for moving and sustaining
troops, as was illustrated in the march
on Picking, is vastly superior to the
Russian organization. Japan could
place 100000 troops ut any point in
Korea, and for that matter at any
point in Manchuria not contiguous to
the railroad, more quickly and in bet
ter condition than could Russia.
$50 far as naval strength is CON
cerned. the Japanese navy is of about
the same tonnage and strength as that
part of the Russian navy in oriental
waters, but the discipline and general
condition of the Japanese navy are con
sidered superior to the Russian navy.
The Japanese soldiers and sailors, man
for man, can do harder work on less
food and under more trying circum-
stances than can the Russians.
ut Is a question of life and death
with Japan. She cannot afford, with
long glances toward the future, to have
Russia in possession or control Of Eo-
rea. On the other hand, Russia, hay
ing expended a billion dollars on her
Siberian railroad for the purpose of
getting an outlet by water, will never
rest content until she has a terminus 10
that railroad or more than one terminus
free from ice all tile year. Though she
has constructed a port at Dalny, the
breakwaters to protect it have result
ed in blocking the port with ice during
part of the year. Russia must go
farther SOUTH. and in order to gain
her object must take possession of Ko-
rea or Of China as far south as Chefu,
which would bring her dangerously
near the English at Weihaiwei and the
Germans at K%iaochou.
'"The situation is not one in which
Japan and Russia only are parties in
interest. England, France, Germany
and the United States have vital inter-
ests, for the whole question is one of
the mastery of the Pacific and control
of future commercial positions"

The new pan, upon which a patent

metal vessel constructed according to
the design shown in the accompanying

actual washing of the dirty dishes is
done, and in the other the rinsing is
performed.
Situated in the center of the parti-

performs it's functions while the opera

water on both sides is kept warm. and
there is no danger of it's cooling while

Now hold the smooth side Of the
glass close to your eye and look through
1t at the sun or a gas jet and you will
see three halos at different distances
from the light. The one nearest the
light will be whitish, the next one will
be partly colored, with it's blue rays
outward. andsthe third will be large

The halos are caused by the refrac-

just as a halo around the moon is
caused by the %refraction Of the light by
the ice particles in the upper air.
