they failed to hear the shouts of warn

heads of the crowd the cordage to

Although their fight took but few
seconds, Odell, the more expert of the
two, could be seen attempting to force
his parachute open, but on account Of
the short distance It would not yield.
Both men struck near each other
and at the same time. Every bone in
Middlekarf's body was broken and he
died soon afterward. Odell fell in a
more relaxed manner. Not bone was
fractured, but he was injured inter
nally, and his death is momentarily
expected. Both were rendered uncon.
scious by their terrible fall, but Odell
soon recovered, and. although in fright.
full pain, was able to talk.
A boy named Gibson was caught by
the falling balloon and completely
covered by the silk bag. The hot air
burned his face and body badly before
he could be dragged from underneath
the balloon.

SAMOAN CLAIMS.

Berlin, March 1S.-Settlement of
the Samoan claims has been rather
sore subject with the Foreign Office,
and 1t is not understood why so small
sum as 100000 should cause tho
United States and Great Britain to
hesitate in its payment. The delay
OF years, 1t is pointed out, has not
been in proportion to the amount of
the claims. and the damages are ow-
ing, according to the arbitrator, to a
lot Of INDECENT persons. The impress
sion here is that Great Britain and
the United States have shown delay
amounting to Indifference.
II Is known, however, officially that
the claims for 100000, which were
prepared by an American lawyer, are
in excess Of the actual amount. Ger.
many has not made any proposition to
the United States or Great Britain,
but would probably accept half the
rmount Of the claims II II were offered.
' The sum of $4,000, mentioned in an
American despatch as being all the
claims are worth. is looked upon here
rs sort of bartering offer. not be-
coming the subject in controversy.
The German Government has in
formed the United States and Great
Britain, as result of negotiations
that were begun March LIST, that she
is about to make joint offer.

EXCLUDE JAPANESE.

Santa Rosa. March 23.-The Con.
gress of the Santa Rosa High School
had under consideration this afternoon
a bill to exclude japanese from the
country, making an exception OF
scholars and students, The debate was
an interesting one and showed splen.
did preparation on the part Of those
participating. Those who supported
the measure were Roy Alexander, Miss
Viola Miller, Miss Alice de Bolt and
Edwin Abeel. In opposition to the
measure the speakers were Harold Me:
Means, John Ali, Arthur Poat and
Giles Briggs.
The question was continued for fur.
Their debate until the next meeting of
the congress, when the measure will
again be taken up. Those who spoke
in favor of the measure pointed out the
disadvantages of having hordes of the
brown men here to compete with the
laboring men and mechanice of the
United States, and showed the menace
which the immigration Of these Japa.

vote of the high school congress will
be largely in favor or the adoption Of

SMALL FARM SEEKERS.

Chicago, March l9.-California and
Pacific Coast home seekers are taxing
all of the Western railroads to their
utmost. Every train on all lines out
Of Chicago is going crowded to its
fullest capacity. Several Of the roads
are sending out specials. and the In.
dications point that all records in
Western movement will be broken.
For the first two weeks after March
LIST. when the home seekers rates to
California were put into effect, the
travel was light. During last week,
however, the tide has turned, and the
rush has set In in earnest.
One OF the features of the movement
is that Eastern farmers are taking
their families In to the West. New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are all
contributing many practical farmers,
and they seem to be supplied with
sufficient money to enable them to
develop new farms. The Western
trunk lands for several years have
Eeen disseminating information con-
corning the irrigated lands in the
West, and from the character of nu-
merous inquiries they now are re-
ceiyins from expert farmers, it Is evid-
ont they are reaping the benefit of their
campaign.
As further induccment to settlers,
the Western trunk lines have made
special freight rates on settlers eff.
Ipris IIntil Nav 18th wpgthnund car.
load rates on agricultural implements,
farm machinery, seed grain, live
stock and other property of settlers
for actual use and not for sale, will
be half those which prevail usually.
This concession is having an impor.
tant effect on the movement, and Is
resulting in the shipment of large
quantities of equipment with which
10 begin agricultural operations.

Steel Plate Invention
Increase Trust Income

Pittsburg (Pa), March 19.-Andrew
i. Mitchell, employed In the armor.
plate department Of the Carnegie Steel
Company at Homestead, has been
granted patent on an improved proc.
ess for armor.plate manufacture. The
principal cost In making armor plato
Is in heating the billets for pressure
into shape, annealing and carburiZing.
Tests have been made on plates made
by the Mitchell process and cost Of
manufacture Is said to have been re-
duced 80 per cent, while plates have
been improved as to strength and can
more readily be machined after being
pnnealed and carburized.
The practice has been to carburize
but two plates In each furnace. By
placing spacing bars or beams between
the plates. any number can be car.
buried, according to the capacity Of
the furnace, and the plates are harden.
ed equally on all sides. The practice
has been to protect one side by cover.
ing with sand while being carburized.
The Government will not benefit by the
discovery, however.

MORMON SMITH GL0RIES
IN THE FACT THAT HE LIED

Salt Lake (Utah), March l9.-Pre-
sident Joseph f. Smith declared In the
Tabernacle yesterday, in the presence
CT about 1000 people, including nearly
all the apostles and prominent men OF
the Mormon church, that he mad pur-
posely prevaricated in his testimony
at Washington in the Smoot investi-
cation when he said that he had never
received any revelations. He said
that his purpose in so doing was TO
thwart the "inquisitors,' as he called
them, in their purpose TO entrap him,
as he knew that none of them would
understand what revelation Is. He
said that II was not true that he had
received no revelations
As a matter of fact. he had received
several important revelations. These
were, he declared that he had done
the right thing in being baptized when
a boy; that Brigham Young, John Taw'
lor, MILFORD Woodruff and Lorenzo
Snow held their positions as presidents
of the church through the will OF God,
and that Joseph Smith was a prophet.
The exact dates when these impor-
tant revelations we're received were
omitted. President Smith appealed to
the Congregation as to whether he
also did not hold his position by divine
right.

and Francis NJ. Lyman spoke at some

HOW CHICAGO GRAND JURY
WORKS ON TRUST PROBLEM

Chicago, March 22.-The special
grand jury to investigate the so.called
beef trust" was completed to-day.
Three vacancies left In the panel yes.
terday we're filled and the huge mass
OF testimony available was immedi.
ately attacked.
District Judge J. Otis Humphrey
charged the Jury to present no one
from envy. hatred or malice. nor to
leave anyone unpresented for fear,
favor, affection, reward or hope of re.
ward"
The charge to the Jurors was deliv.
cred in u most impressive manner and
was listened to with deep interest.
Judge Humphrey said:
This body stands between the up.
right and honest citizen and the ma.
licious accuser. You are savers of
regulations, as well as the body from
which the honest accuser obtains just
inquiry.
Il call your attention particularly
to the statute which prohibits and
fixes penalty for combinations in
restraint of trade, in the interstate
commerce laws and their various
branches. While you are not selected
TO try the guilt or innocence of the
accused in order to justify true bill.
you will have such evidence as, IL un.
explained and uncontradicted, would
satisfy your minds of. the guilt OF the
accused.
You are not to disclose to any per.
son or at any time the secrets of your
deliberations. Reputation Is the great.
est earthly inheritance. The mere
fact that some persons name Is be.
fore you as being accused of crime
would blacken the reputation, even
though you might not return a true
bill. No human being has q right to
know, and you are not to disclose to
any human being, the secrets of your
deliberations. All that shall come to
light through the return OF indict.
ments, II indictments shall be found"
Among the important witnesses who
will appear before the beef trust Grand
Jury are Miss NJ. A. Dinock, private
secretary to J. Ogden Armour; C. o.
Young, general superintendent of
Swift & Co., and George +. Morgan,
assistant to Young.
e Two witnesses were examined dur.
Ing the afternoon session. The first

he was excused, and returned to his

Washington. March 5.--A Roosevelt
dinner, given by President Roosevelt
10 RCosevelts only. was the feature OF
the first day Of the new Presidential
regime.
Even Constant Reader does not
remember that there has ever been so
many near and distant relatives Of a
President in Washington as there are
this time.
The official chronicle of White
House guests for many years shows
that all names have been discounted
in number by that of Roosevelt. 1t is
said among the gossips that there
were twenty-five Roosevelts under the
dag and eagle of the White House,
and that these twenty-five constitute
the party at the dinner tonight. There
were certainly twenty-five covers. and
there certainly were numerous Roose.
velts. as the record will show.
On the official list of White House
permanent residents and temporary
guests were the following Roosevelts:
President Roosevelt. Mrs. Roose.
welt. Miss Alice l.. Roosevelt, Miss
Ethel c. Roosevelt, Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt Jr., Master Kermit Roose'
Welt. Master Archibald y. Roosevelt,
Master Quentin Roosevelt Mrs. W. s.
Cowles lsister OF the PRESIDENT. Mr..
and Mrs. W. Emlin Roosevelt. Miss
Christine Roosevelt. Mr.. Franklin Il.
Roosevelt. Miss Eleanor Roosevelt
Mrs. J. West Roosevelt, Miss Lor'
raine Roosevelt, Hon. r. b. Roose"
welt. Elrrida Roosevelt.
This list OF seventeen leaves only
i've out of the twenty two to account
for. II is said that the other. five were
there all right. but, while related. they
have not retained the name Of Roose
welt. some being ladies who have
changed their names under persuasion
and others being gentlemen who are
cousins OF the President.
This family dinner was the finale o.
day which, so far as the President Is
concerned was a very private one a
the white House.
The President did not go TO church
today, and some people say It was be
cause II was to be expected that there
would have been a tremendous throng
in and around the little church where
he worships.
In the afternoon the President and
boys and Mr.. X. H. NJ. Ferguson OF
the Rough Riders, took carriages and
went to rendezvous, whence they
took saddle horses and had gallop in
the country.

Birds To Rule
Future Generations

Chicago, March 1S.-The human
race will be extinct on this earth in
the course OF few million years. &C.
Cording to Samuel Williston professor
Of paeontology at the University of
Chicago.
While lecturing on the future of the
sarth's inhabitants Professor Willis.
ton declared that, in his opinion, in.
stead of men at this future date. which
he told the students would not come
for something like 100000 years. the
earth will be dominated by birds.
1T will only be a natural course Of
events that will ultimately drive men
said Professor Williston. First came
the fishes. They were dominated for
while, and had to give way to the
amphibians. Then came the reptiles,
which soon yielded to the mammals.
Now the mammals are weakening,
and the newest class. the birds. is
growing to prominence, and in time,
1 sincerely believe, will be the domi.
nant Inhabitants OF the earth.
Each of these classes developed to
the highest degree OF specialization.
and then began to wane. Man is
developed to that degree now, and
little more can be expected Of him"
Professor Williston is considered
one OF the leading experts in paleon.
tology in this country, and has written
several treatises on evolution.
