phone to Fill Long Felt Want.
A new telephone scheme has been
thought Of by a prominent citizen Of
Astoria VINO does not want anything
said about It until he gets II patented.
While he believes It will be responsible
for many fatalities, he says he is go
ing to push It for all II is worth.
MY plan is an extremely simple
one" he saId. and It will meet with
the approval Of every man and woman
who desires to utilize the telephone
for the purpose for which II was in
tended. You go to a telephone booth
under my system and talk. At the end
of 10 minutes you get slight shock.
This signifies that It is up to you to
finish up quick. If you don't take the
hint at the end Of 20 minutes. a shock
sufficient to half paralyze you is re-
ceiyed, leaving only sufficient energy
to hang up the receiver. II you are stlll

amnaticns. He also thinks that by
common consent jurors ar quickly
drawn, owing to the general belief
among lawyers and laymen, that the
sturdy farmers and better class Of
business men who largely nh the jury
box, are fair minded as well as in
telligent.
The professional juror, says Mr. Al
len, does not exist in this part Of the
country, thus Juries are seldom tied
lup. This alone means big saving.
Strange as 1t rGay seem, said the pres
ent incumbent Of the district attor-
ney's Office, there are instances on rec
ord, when important criminal trials
were completed in less time than It
would take in San Francisco, Denver
Portland or other large cities to i'm
panel the Jury. In one intsance a
case equal In Importance to cases like
the Durant murder, etc, was finished
and sentence passed within 10 days
from the date court opened this mat
ter. This included the lmpaneling of
the jury.
This district IS to be congratulated
upon possessing attorneys so ready TO
cooperate with court and prosecuting
attorneys in promoting prompt trials
saving counties and the state consider
able expenses.

Senator Dubois, of Idaho, ArraignS
the MOrmo Before the Moth
ers' Congress.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Fred T. Dubois, of Idaho, talked to the
Mothers congress, Tuesday night, on
1.-THE Purity of the Home" His
speech was chiefly an historical re-
view of Mormonism in the United
States, and a severe arraignment Of
the doctrines and practices of the Nor
mon organization. He declared with
emphasis that there should be no toll
Grafton of the present teachings and
practices of the Mormon hierarchy,
and said it was the duty of the United
States senate so to act on the case Of
Senator-Apostle Reed Smoot as to
serve notice on the polygamous head
of this church and his apostles that
they must live within the law; that
the nation is supreme.

Beneficial Upheavals.

Every once in awhile a ave of public
sentiment sweeps across the country, as
defnable in its movement and character
as any other real and physical thing.
Generally speaking, this popular feeling
finds expression in suggested legislation
or constitutional amendment. Any stu
dent of American history, viewed from
its political and legislative standpoint,
knows that an examination Of congress
sional records presents a panorama, so
to speak, of great public movements,
eliminating sometimes in actual legis-
Iation, but more frequently subsiding
without definite result. 1t is a good
thing, declares the Washington Post,
very truly, to clear the political and So
cial atmosphere with these upheavals.
Stagnant air is fatal, and even a cyclone,
with all it's accompanying trouble, is
preferable to an atmosphere so heavy
that it has lost all its vitality.

FaTEFUL TENEMENT FIRE
A Score of Lives Lost and Many
Persons Injured In New York.
i'm the building and the Fire
Escapes Were Inadequate.

New York, March 15.-Nineteen per-
sons were burned to leath in a fire
which destroyed the five-story tene-
ment house at 105 Allen street early
Tuesday morning. More than 40 were
injured, and only a few of the sleep
ing inmates escaped unhurt. Several
of those who persisted were roasted to
death in plain view of thousands in the
streets.
Coroner G~oldenkranz declared, after
an investigation, that he had reason
to believe the blaze was the work of
an incendiary. He issued %subpoenas
for the fire marshal. tenement house
and building inspectors and health and
police officials to appear before him at
the inquest Thursday.
The fire started in the basement and
spread with frightful rapidity to the
roof. The victims were caught in
traps of flames, the halls and exits
being rendered impossible in a few
minutes after the blaze started.
The building was n of the usual
crowded tenements, and the. disaster
was the worst in the history of the
east side. The district attorneys Of
flee has begun an Investigation to
place the blame for the great loss of
life.
Chief Croker of the fire department
asserts that the police and the tene-
ment house departments are to blame
for violations of the fire escape law.
tn -vNxrA
say that the blame is on the shoulders
of the fire commissioner.
Of the nineteen dead, three bodies,
those of a boy and two girls, remain
unidentified.

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
Rabbit Taste So Very
Queer.

A lady walked into a g%rocer's shop one
day with her sleeves turned up to her ell
bows and a fighting light in her eyes,
says the Kansas City Independent.
This here" she observed with a sniff,
as she banged a piece of yellow substance
on the counter, lis the soap that makes
ev'ry washin' day a kind of glorifed bean
feast; the soap that gets all the linen as
white as snow and as sweet as a hazel
nut by dinner time, and lets the happy
housewife spend the rest of the day play
in with the children, and here an. ],
been scrubbin' three mortal hours with
that lump, and amt got as much lather
out of it as l could get from a b~riekbat."
Il beg our pardon" remarked the
grocer, courteously, "but it isn't the soap.
Your little boy came in here yesterday
for half a pound of both soap and cheese;
that's the cheese"
"The cheese!"' gasped the lady. 'eThat
accounts for the other thing, then"
The other thing?"
"Yes, .she other thing" came the reply.

bit re had for supper taste so funny"

ARE RAGGED BUT WEALTHY.
A Dirty Band On Their Way From
Mexico to st. Louis, With
Rolls of Money.

Austin, Tex, March IA pic
turesquet lot of gypsies passed through
here on their way from Mexico to st.
Louis. They were SO ragged and dirty
that United States immigration in
spectors held them up when they at
tempted to enter this country at the
border.
In response to the question as to
whether they were in possession Of
any money, the leader of the band
reached into his pocket and drew forth
$4,000 in United States currency and
exhibited a Letter of credit for $50, 900
on the Bank of London and Mexico.
The other members of the rowing
band carried rolls of bank bills and
sacks filled with gold coins. They
stated that they are on their way to
st. Louis to purchase horses. They
will return to Mexico when they have
finished their purchases.

END OF STANFORD INQUEST
The Jury Says Death Was Due to
S%trychnine Poisoning.
The Strychnine Used Was Not Such
as Generally Used for Medicine,
But the COarser Kind.

Honolulu. March 1.-THE ~coroner's
jury has returned a verdict that Mrs.
Jane L. Stanford died an unnatural
death.
The verdict says that
Death WA due to ~strychnine
poisoning, the poison having been
introduced into "a bottle of bicar-
Donate of soda with f%eIonious in
tent by sVmc PersSa or persons to
the jury unknONsD.
The end of the inquest, with a posi-
tive verdict of murder, leaves the po-
lice of Honolulu as much without a
clew as when Mrs. Stanford died.
High Sheriff Henry said after the in
quest that it was his opinion that the
strychnine was placed in the soda in
San Francisco by a member of Mrs.
Stanford's household.
At the inquest DR.. Shorey testified
that THE STRYCHNINE USED, AS
SHOWN BY THE TESTS, WAS
STRYCHNINE SUCH AS IS NOT
USED GENERALLY FOR MEDICI-
NAL PURPOSES, BUT USED PRIN-
CIPALLY FOR POISONING AMI
MAILS.
This statement is regarded as of pos
sible assistance in tracing the pur-
chase of the poison.
The jury returned its verdict after
about two minutes elaboration.
The detectives, who are expected to
arrive from San Francisco on the
steamer Alameda, may be able to take
up the investigation on new lines. The
local police admit that they are at sea.

When the recent blizzard struck
Washington some of the southern states
men began to drink apple toddy to keep
out the cold. One very distinguished
senator drank numerous toddies. Usual
ly pale of face, he became redder and
redder as the toddies began to get in
their work, and when he went to dinner
his face was the color of a cardinals cap.
my DEAR" asked his anxious wife as he
hove in view, "wnat makes your face so
red?" The distinguished southern
statesman paused to reply. He needed
an excuse and needed it badly. Then
he was hit by a happy thought. He
gazed animatedly out at the swirling
snow and said: why, my dear, | have
been sitting out in the sun for an hour

Arrangement of Football.

The annual report of President Eliot
will interest the graduates of the coli
Sege, and some parts of the report,
notably the references to football, will
attract unusual attention throughout
the country. The evils of that game
are treated in a way which might be
called extreme If the statements were
made by the ordinary observer; but
the honest friends of football must
admit, says the Harvard Bulletin, that
1t deserves all that President Eliot
says about it. Many football coaches
will now rush into print with afflrma-
lions that they never taught their
players to violate the rules set dow
for the control of the game, and In
individual cases such statements may
be true, but every one who has closely
followed the development of footDal
knows that in general players are
coached to break the rules, provided
they can do so without being seen Dy
the officials. If football is to be pre-
served, its friends should IND some
means of enforcing the rules or OF pro-
viding regulations which can be car
ried out. 1t is easy to see the ABUSES
which now exist, but not so simple a
matter to give a remedy. The furda-
mental trouble lies in the oVerwheim-
ing desire to succeed at any cost when
seems now to be a characteristic OF the
American people. The theme OF many
editorials in the Bulletin lately has
been that college athletics are no lon
ger sports, but serious business, and
this charge applies particularly TO
football. AS long as that spirit exists
players will keep on violating the
rules, especially in a game where II Is
almost impossible to see such infrac-
tons.

Cleveland, O., March 13.-Mrs. Cas-
sic L. Chadwick was found guilty OF
conspiracy to violate the United States
banking laws by conspiring to procure
the certification of checks on a nation
al bank when there were no funds in
the bank to her credit. She was found
guilty on every count of the indict-
ment upon which the jury was at lib
erty to judge her, seven in all. The
original indictment contained 16
counts. Two of these were ruled out
during the trial by Judge Tayler, and
of the remaining IA, one-half charged
her with securing the certification OF
checks without having the proper en-
tries made On the books of the bank.

the jury to disregard these counts, and
consider only the remaining seven,
which related to the certifcation with
no funds on deposit. On all of these
the jury found against her.
Under the law she can be fined on
each count not more than $4,000 nor
Imprisonment more than two years on
each count.

plies to all forms of gambling. 1t
makes betting a felony.
