The white chips used merely in anteing, represented s100. the red $500 and the blues s1000 Some of the passengers said that more than $1O0,O00 changed hands and there was rumor that before the game was over the play CTS were betting copper mines, railroads, steamships and seats in the stock ex- change. one piece of gossip was to the effect that one of the players had offer ed to buy the three million dollar Kaiser and put her up.

CANNING FOR COLOR.
Little Tricks That Tell Why One Plum
 Is Better Than Another.

From the Garden Magazine.
 It is surely worth while to can rhu- barb and pineapples for winter use. The former should be cut into inch pieces and not peeled for the red skin will impart a beautiful color to the syrup. Pineapple should be peeled and the pieces picked out with a fork. which eliminates the tough core, which in sliced pine apple is retained. Pears and peaches should be peeled. halved and seeded; ap- ples the same or even quartered. Plums and cherries may be stoned or not; the pits left with the fruit impart a peculiar bitter flavor which to me is delightful.
 Canned berries require to be just ripe and thoroughly sound; 1t is useless to waste time upon soft, poor fruit. Fruits for canning should be selected as much with view to the ultimate color as for flavor. There are red-fleshed and white f1eshed strawberries; take the former. And in plums what more pleasing than the rich red of the Satsuma-

SOME SIDE LIGHTS 0N NEW YORK LIFE The Fusion Nomination for Mayor Goes Begging ANTI-RACE SUICIDE WAR By John ArbuckIe and M. Martln-sub- way Tavern as a Real Rum
 shop-A Meal for 7
 Gents.
BY sEWELL HAGcARD.

New York, September s.-The search for an independent candidate for mayor to run against Mayor Mcclellan is still unrewarded. The only man yet men tioned, who is available in a political sense, has said straight from the shoulder that he would not be a candidate for mayor under any circumstances. That man is District Attorney Jerome. A half dozen others have been mentioned, but none has the faintest shadow of chance of defeating the Tammany candidate Politicians are figuring on two safe bets in the coming campaign-the reelection of Mayor Mcclellan and District At torney Jerome.
 The two men most talked about for the fusion nomination since MT. Jerome turned 1t down, are ex-Senator John Ford and Supreme Court Justice Gaynor. Ford is not known outside his own assembly district and Justice Gaynor's principal blocked the police in keeping watch at the doors of poolrooms and gambling houses He is a radical on most every thing, which, of course, insures him a large vote among a certain class
 As the cards lie at present 1t looks as though William Randolph Hearst, news paper editor and formerly candidate for President, will name the fusion candidate for mayor. The controlling organizations in the fusion movement are the Citizens Union the Municipal Ownership league and the republicans. The Citizens' Union put forward Mir. Jerome and, now that he has refused, Leader R. Fulton Cut ting says that the organization will noe suggest another candidate The republic cans will not back any one candidate because they do not want any more of the responsibility of defeat than they will be forced to share by simply join ing in the movement. MT Hearst who is the dominant factor in the 4aunicipal Ownership league, Is always ready to as- sume responsibility and 1t is likely that the other organizations will leave to him the selection of the fusion lamb. MT Hearst's first choice is Justice Gaynor although 1t Is not known whether he will take the nomination. His second choice 's ex-Senator Ford, who Is un- derstood to be in a receptive mood.
 It hasn't been so long ago that Mir Hearst accepted, even begged a nomin- ation for Congress at the hands of Tam many Hall. Now he is fighting that or ganization.

Meal for Seven Cents.

A restaurant which serves meal for cents has been started in one of the crowded sweatshop districts of the East side. It Is not a charitable institution, but was started as a business proposition. the owner says. There is not a great variety on the bill of fare but the food is substantial. On the first day the cent meal consisted of soup, a large slice of rye bread, half dozen slices of boiled meat and a ci1n of tea.
 ITO make money we must have 1000 customers day." the owner says.
 Before the opening of this restaurant the cheapest place on the Eastside charged 10 cents for a meal There is one place in the city which sells a meal for cents. but 1t Is kept up by charity.

Roosevelt Likely to Put Sleuth on the
Trail of Standard Oil.

Washington, March 2O.-Capital-
lists who have invested in Kansas oil
wells will be interested in knowing that
the president is seriously considering
the proposition to place the investi-
cation of the Kansas oil situation in
the hands of former Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Joseph L. Bris-
tow, who won his spurs in the post
office frauds investigation.
Bristow is a sleuth of high ability
and the request for his appointment
to this work has come from Kan
sas. He is now at work as a special
commissioner investigating Panama
railroad affairs but if mis- services are
needed in the Standard Oil investiga-
ton, the president will not hesitate to
direct him to engage in that work.
Bristow is a citizen of Kansas and is
thoroughly acquainted with the situa-
ton there. He would, of course, work
under the direction of Commissioner
Garfield, in looking up the oil situa-
ton.

WOMEN SUES TO GUST HYDE.
Declares His Conduct Of Equitable A.
fairs Menaces Her Share Of Profits.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 2O.-Papers
have been served in New York by
deputy of the sheriff of Saratoga coun-
ty upon James Hazen Hyde and the
Equitable Life Assurance society in a
suit brought by Mary S. Young, res
ident of Saratoga, through State Sena-
tor Edgar T. Bracket.
Sensational charges are made against
both the Equitable Life and Mr.. Hyde
in the complaint.
The purpose of the suit is to restrain
the company from paying Mr.. Hyde
100000 year as salary, and to COM
pei the restitution of all the money he
has so drawn from the funds of the
society on the ground that such a stu
pendous salary is wonderful and con-
stitutes a conversion and waste of
funds of the company.
The complaint alleges that it was
controlled by Mr.. Hyde that he was
enabled to have such a great salary
awarded to himself.
1t also makes the astonishing charge
that thirty eight of the board of fifty
two directors are virtually dummies,
who own not a share of the capital
stock of the society, and were put in
office simply to do the bidding of young
Mr.. Hyde.
The suit will go into the legality of
these men to serve as directors of the
society. The papers also assert the
right of policy holders to participate in
the net earnings and surplus of the So
ciety.
Mrs. Young is a policy holder in the
company for the small sum of $1,000.
her policy being in the form of one of
the Equitable gold bonds, due Feb. 7,
1921.
The complaint first rehearses the
organization of the Equitable Life and
quotes from it's charter the provisions
pTONlulllS LOT It's ulIuSl
certain conditions.
Upon the termination of her contract
with the society the plaintiff ayers
that she will be entitled to a share of
the surplus profits of the company and
that the amount of the surplus profits
depends upon the honest and proper
administration of the Equitable's af-
and property.
The identity of all of the thirty eight
dummy directors mentioned in the
Young suit could not be learned.

Mistakes In Sizing Up Modern War.
It is so long since there has been a wa1

1t Is so long since there has been Wal
comparable in magnitude to that in the
far east that mistakes in estimating
the proportions in modern war are but
natural. T. F. Millards paper in Serb.
ner's Magazine On the new features of
the impression that the old terms and
IDEAS applied to battle descriptions
have become obsolete. It is inferred
by some Of Mr.. Millard's readers that
in previous great wars the battlefield
was Of limited extent and all under the
eyes Of the commander; that battles
were speedily fought out like duels and
any wide distribution Of troops was i'm
possible except at the risk Of disaster.
Leaving Napoleon's great battles out
Of account, our civil war may be cited
as a war of stupendous proportions.
The Seven Days battles Of 1862 began
and ended at points over twenty miles
apart and all ON the same tactical line.
The Confederates refer to this series
as the battle Of Richmond, and that
view makes it one field, corresponding
in all perhaps but numbers engaged
with Liaoyang. At Gettysburg Lees
line Of battle was ten miles long, and
fighting took place now at one extrem-
ity and then at the other and again in
the center. The combating lines in the
Wilderness were ten miles long, and
not alone the army commanders, but
the corps and division commanders,
could not see the operations Of their
troops. The Chickamauga battlefield
was ten miles long, and at Spottsylva-
mia Court House Grants line was eight
miles long At Spottsylvania the fight
ing was continuous from May 8 to May
p in the same sense that the battle on
Sha river was continuous for ten days.
In the sixties there was no telephone.
but there were field telegraph lines aft
er 1861, and commanders sent battle Or
ders and received reports in the heat
Of action over the wires. And surely
Mr.. Millard's statement that it is 'prac-
tically impossible to stampede disci-
plined army by dramatic coup on
some part Of the field, as formerly fire.
quently happened" does not apply to
the civil war or any great war Of the
nineteenth century. There were count
less dramatic coups and stampedes In
the sixties, but on no field of that time
was a disciplined army stampeded by
a dramatic coup or even by a success
sion Of coups. Mr.. Millard's context
shows that he has in mind the STAN
pede Of a whole army.

Bishop Hare Scores President.

WASHINGTON, March 2o.-The
president continues to be criticized for
his action in authorizing the giving
of 100000 to Roman Catholic Indian
schools in South Dakota. Yesterday
there was a meeting of the Protestant
ministers of Philadelphia, and Bishop
Hare of South Dakota was present and
paid mis- respects to the president in
vigorous fashion.
He said the charges originally made
by him regarding the payment of this
money were true. The bishops prin-
cipal grievance lies in the fact that
while this sum was given to the Cath
olics, nothing was given to the Indian
schools of his own church in South Da-
kota.

OF our twenty-five presidents, while
only three washington Monroe and
Jackson) were revolutionary soldiers,
three others adams, Jefferson and
Madison) were eminently identified
with independence. Andrew Jackson,
William Henry Harrison, John Tyler,
Zachary Taylor and James Buchanan
served with varying rank in the war of
1912. In our earlier Indian wars three
presidents gained immortal renown.
William Henry Harrison won the bat
tie of Tippecanoe, Andrew Jackson
crushed the Creeks and Zachary Taylor
destroyed the Seminole power at Okee-
cnobee. Abraham Lincoln rendered
honorable service against Black Hawk.
The war with Mexico was partici-
pated in by Taylor, Pierce and Grant.
and Grant, Johnson, Hayes, Garfield,
Arthur, Harrison and Mckinley were
all in the civil war. The present pres
ident's service in the Spanish war is
too recent and too renowned to be for
gotten. There have been but eight
of our presidests who did not seek
soldiery service. The last revolution
airy president retired from office sc
years after that war closed. According
to that precedent, a veteran of the
civil war may be president as late as
1920, and veteran of the Spanish war
as late as 1854. If President Roose-

Five Predecessors.
At the time of Lincoln's Inaugural
ton in 1861 there were living five of
his predecessors (Van Buren,, Tyler
Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan) all of
his successors to the present time,
and more than likely several of those
yet to come. Now there is but one,
Grover Cleveland. But many of the
successors of Theodore Roosevelt are
on the planet at this moment. Some of
our future presidents are infants yet
in their swaddling clothes; some Of
them are hardy farmers sons follow
ing the fresh lines made by the plow-
shares; some may be hiking in khaki
in the Philippines some of them
beardless cadets undergoing hazing at
West Point; some of them young
members of legislatures; one or two
of them at this time sitting in the
American congress-; one of the pos
sibly in the cabinet; one of them per-
haps just being sworn in as vice pres
ident, and one of them may be en-
gagged in the simple life of recognizing
parties. But nearly all persons who
will be in the presidential succession
of the next half century are at this
moment absolutely unknown outside
of the communities where they were

TAKES OVER BAKER PLANT
ISAAC ANDERSON CONCLUDES
PURCHASE OF ANOTHER
ELECTRIC POWER.
Plant Will be Enlarged at Future Date
Eastern Capitalists the
Purchasers.

A dispatch from Baker City says:
Yesterday afternoon the final details
were settled by which the plant and
holdings of the Baker City Electric
company passed to the syndicate
headed by I. w. Anderson, the Spokane
promoter, who represent Philadelphia
in the acquisition of utility plants in
a number of northwestern cities.
Manager Pollman said last evening
that there were few minor matters
to be closed up today, but these would
unquestionably be accomplished sat-
isfactorily. He also said that there
were no holdings in the Anderson
company by local people. This means
probably all save the interests of Da-
vid Eccles and it is current that the
new purchasers are DESTROYS of taking
that up.
Mr.. Anderson said last night that it
was too soon after acquisition to dis
cuss the personnel of the office man
agement but that it would be done Ia
ter. He said that it was the purpose
of the company to get ali the property
in such a state as to make operation
efficient and economic for city much
larger than Baker and it's environ
ments are today as they figure on
future healthy growth.
