TAe spoiled ch,laren of the World.

The spoiled Children Of the world.
Burmese children are the spoiled chill
dren Of the world. according to v. @.
Scott 0'Connor. In his book, "The
silken East" he says that they are
never punished by their parents, who
universally adore them. They grow up
in the open air with all the grace OF
young, unchecked life. "The sheer Joy
OF life abidcs In them." says he, "and
they seem to live perpetua.ly at play
In the village street, where they play
a game Of nineplns with the great seeds
Of a jungle creeper; In the monastery,
where they lie upon the floor and
scream out their lessons with lusty de
light; in the river. in which they splash
and plunge before they can walk; at
the play, where they crawl about
among the feet of the prlma donna and
the posing kings, and at the pagoda,
where they hold flowers before them
with faces screwed up to gravity, with
laughter pent up behind II. And II there
be any dispute about the good looks Of
their elders there can be none as to the
prettiness Of Burmese children"

Of family that was attacked with a

investigation revealed the fact that a

den had got mixed with some aconite

The sudden how Of saliva betrays
the effect OF some metallic poison
lead perhaps or verdlgris (oxide of cop

copper cooking utensils. Old fashioned
silver spoons were often initiated with
plated copper and in course Of time
furnished a clew to their bottom facts
by turning black, then black with
greenish tints. but only after their
secret had been intimated By a splitting
epidemic. 1t is the same with lead.
Chewing a leaden bullet for couple
of seconds makes the mouth water
not as hint as desire for additional
supplies, but to rinse out the palate
and remove saliva that might cause
mischief by finding Its way into the
stomach.
A decorative painter who never
touched such things as paris green or
cinnabar without disinfecting his hands
and mouth was greatly puzzled by the
morbid activity Of his salivary glands.
He had to spit like a tobacco fiend and
finally traced his trouble to substance
known as bronze dust'' that had set.
tied on his lips and nostrils and, under
the influence Of moisture, had been de.
yeloping copper poisons.

EXPECTS LENGTHY WAR
Count Okuma Tells Progressive Party
Struggle Will Continue

TOXIC, April 2S.-Count Okuma, lead
er of the progressive party and former
foreign minister, addressing the COM
mittee of the progressive party appoint
ed to succor the wounded today estl-
mated the number of wounded and sick
as result of the war at 100000 to 300, 900
and the number of killed and those who
had died of disease at $4,000.
The count warned the people to be
prepared for a lengthy war and eX-
pressed the hope that a continuance of
the struggle would not affect the ma
tional sentiment. Nothing, he added,
should shake their reason to continue
the war. He criticised the national di-
plomacy, expressing the opinion that
efficient and timely diplomatic skill
would have prevented the Russian
squadron from coming to the far east.
The count also expressed the belief
that the occasion for great battles had
disappeared. 1t was possible to sup
port the army throughout the re-
mainder of the war with the $777, $780, =
900, derived from war taxes and the
speaker urged a continuance of national
economy and frugalty.

TRUSTS EYES ON
SANTA BARBARA
STANDARD OIL AFTER FIELDS
OF THE COUNTY
GREAT PIPE LINE is PLANNED
This Is the Method Adopted by the
Monopoly Elsewhere to Force
the Small Producer Out
of Business

Special to The Herald
SANTA BARBARA, April 2S-Local
oil producers believe that the Standard
Oil company is seeking to swallow up
the oil fields of the county. Chief
among other reasons leading to this
belief is the fact that the Pacific Oil
company has just filed application for
a franchise to lay pipe lines connecting
all of the great fields in the northern
part of the county with a main artery
leading either to the coast at Casmalia
or Point Sal or to the Santa Maria
river.
1t has been the policy Of the Stand
ard in other places to construct pipe
lines, and by means of this cheap
method of transportation be able to
control the market and to run the
small producers out of the business.
1t is Just what happened in the San
Joaquin valley, and again in the Texas
field, and it may be that the same
method is to be adopted here.
The application asks for permission
to construct main pipe line from five
different companies wells; also to con-
struct telephone and telegraph lines
along the same route.

SAN DIEGO, April 2S-Oberammer-
gau on a small scale is to be found
at Paa in this county where the great
Passion Play finds a crude imitator
in the Execution of Judas" The
ceremony Is performed in connection
with the Easter festivities. The Pala
Indians, since their removal to Pala
from Warmers ranch about two years
ago, have not celebrated this festival
in so spectacular a style, but this
year they decided that they must ad-
minister justice to Judas" in true
Indian manner.
They secured the aid of Father
Grennan, the Belgian priest at the
Pala Mission, and arrangements were
made for the big affair. A large
number of whites were invited and
perhaps a hundred of them gathered
with the 600 Indians of the neighbor-
hood at Pala on Friday afternoon of
Holy week.
Judas" was discovered in group
of wagons. He did not wear the
flowing robes of Hebrew disciple,
but shabby American suit of clothes.
He was not made of flesh and blood
but of straw and rags. Neverthe-
must be punished. So said one of the
Indians in charge of the observance
and he ought to know.
When discovered the Indians swoop-
ed down on the offender and tied him
to the belfry of the old Pala Mis-
sion. They left him there till night,
to mediate on his crimes.
The next morning, with much sup
pressed excitement. and some that
was not suppressed. Judas" was
brought down from the belfry and
tied upon the back of a wild gray
horse. The animal was then turned
loose and Judas" had a Mazeppa
ride around the reservation. At last
the wild horse was lassoed and
Judas was dragged from his back.
funeral pyre was erected, Judas"
was placed in the middle of 1t and
the torch was applied. 1t was but a
few minutes before Judas" had paid
the traitors penalty and Pala Indian
justice was satisfied.
The Pala Indians are becoming
more and more reconciled to their new
home, though some of the older ones
still sigh for their Warner ranch
home. The government is taking par
ticularly good care of the Indians and
provides for their wants in bountiful
manner.

FORGERY NO CRIME
UNDER INDIANA CODE
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
INDIANAPOLIS, April 2s.-Dis-
covery was made today that for
) gerry has, for the time being, ceased
to be a crime in Indiana owing to
the omission of it's definition in the
new criminal code adopted by the
recent legislature which went into
effect a few days ago.
A most careful searching through
) the pages of the printed act fails
to find any definition of the crime
of forgery, or any penalties fixed
for its commission, and 1t is the
opinion of many lawyers that,
inasmuch as the criminal code act
contains section declaring that
"all laws within the purview of
this act are hereby repealed"
there is no law in force by which
such a crime can be punished.

LEES LIFE ENDED
FAMOUS SOLDIER SUCCUMBS
TO AP0PLEXY
ATTACK DUE TO ovERW0RK
His Last Moments Were Peaceful,
and the Veteran Was Con-
selous Almost to the
End
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Brigadief
General Fitzhugh Lee, u. S. A., retired,
died at Providence hospital here to-
night, aged 6S years, from an attack Of
apoplexy which he suffered early this
morning on train while en- route from
Boston to Washington.
After Gen. Lee had been removed to
the hospital this morning, It was evil
dent to the attending physicians that
his case was very serious one, but
they believed that his strong vitality
and will power would assist materially
in a partial recovery at least from the
attack. His condition remained fair,
considering the severity of the attack.
during the day, but shortly after
o'clock he began to grow weaker, his
breathing became more rapid and his
pulse lower terminating in less than
two hours in death. The end was peace
full and without pain, the general re-
naming conscious until within five
minutes of the end.
Half an hour before death Gen. Lee
recognized his brother, Daniel Lee, who
came into the room for a moment.
A pathetic feature of the case is that
although General Lee was blessed with
a family consisting of wife and five
children, not one of them was with
him at the time of his death.
General Lee was conscious through
out the day and recognized those who
were admitted to the sickroom. While
not suffering any pain the general was
rather uncomfortable most of the time.
his breathing being difficult and his ar
ticulation when he attempted to speak,
being heavy and thick.
The orders of Lieutenant George Lee,
a son who was about to sail for the
Philippines, have been charged and he
will come to Washington, and it Is ex-
pected will be accompanied by his sis
ter, the wife of Lieutenant Brown,
who also is now on the Pacific coast and
whose orders were issued directing him
to sail with his regiment for the
Philippines.
Illness Due to Overwork
General Lees attack is attributed
largely to his activity in behalf of the
military and navy review which is to
be held in the vicinity of Jamestown,
Va. His heart and soul have been in
the work, and he labored zealously to
make it a success.
Arrangements for the funeral, to-
gether with the selection of the place
of interment of the remains, will not be

GOVERNMENT TAKES HAND IN
CHICAGO STRIKE
ORDER HAS QUIETING EFFECT
Copies Are Attached to Wagons and

Direct Abstinence From
Violence
ORDER HAS QUIETING EFFECT
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April 2S.-For the first
time since the strike of the American
Railway union in 1894 the government
has been made party to labor
troubles in this city. The government
was brought into the teamsters' strike
today by the issuance of an injunction
by Judge C. c. Kohlsaat of the United
States circuit court. The writ was
asked on behalf of the Employers
1'eaming association on the ground
that the organization is incorporated
under the laws of West Virginia and
is, therefore. under the protection of
the federal court.
The order commands that all defend
ants refrain from any interference
with the business of the Employers
Teaming company and commands the
strikers to refrain from picketing,
massing on the streets with intent to
interfere with the wagons of the COM
plainant and from interfering in any
manner with non-union men in it's
employ. AS soon as issued copies of
the injunction were printed on large
cards and two of these were attached
TO every wagon of the Employers
Teaming company which went upon
the streets today.
The injunction exerted a pacifying
influence and there was less rloting in
the streets than yesterday. A heavy
thunderstorm which continued during
the latter part of the afternoon and
through the evening also lent material
assistance in keeping the streets clear
Twelve arrests were made. for interfer-
ence with the injunction, all of them
being made at one time and place.
At 1880 p. m. thirty-two wagons loaded
with coal approached the Union
League club on Jackson boulevard, and
when they attempted to drive into the
narrow alley east of the club house to
unload the non-union teamsters were
attacked by crowd of union sympa-
thizers and lively fight ensued The
wagons were plainly marked with
copies of the injunction and the police
in charge arrested twelve strikers. who
are now confined in the Harrison street
police station. They may be arraigned
in the United States circuit court to-
morrow morning.
Says Violence Will Not Help
When news of the injunction
reached President Shea of the Team
sters' union, he issued the following
order signed by the committee of
teamsters' business agents: ITO all
union teamsters: Permit no violation
of the police under any circumstances.
Competent drivers cannot be pro-
cured to handle the teams In Chi
cago. and violence will not help us In
this strike. BE loyal to your union
and obey its Instructions"
The injunction writ is made return
able May 10 and the defendants will
be given hearing at 10 a. m. on that
day.
1t was impossible today to have a
