question of duplication Of work by the
various bureaus and branches of the
government at Washington.
While these advances have been
gratifying to Mr.. Hitchcock's friends
and doubtless to himself, they have en-
tailed severe extra work When he
left the department of Agriculture to
become chief clerk of the Department
of Commerce and Labor he still had
several uncompleted publications of
the former Department which occupied
all his spare evenings for months. Up
on Secretary Cortelyou's resignation
from the Department of Commerce and
Labor to engage in the work of elect
ing Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Hitchcock went
with him as his principal assistant, his
uncompleted duties, however, still fol-
lowing him as they had previously and
were not even completed upon
his appointment to the Post Office De-
partment. 1t is doubtful if he has yet
caught up with important lines of
statistical work which he undertook
to do prior to accepting his present APP
pointment
Mr.. Hitchcock is very properly de-
scribed in current number of

the service of the government has been
the result of ability unaided by polit-
zeal influence. His qualifications are
perhaps most correctly summed up in
the words of Secretary Wilson, who, in
expressing regrets at his loss to the
Department of Agriculture said:
He has industry, application and in
telligence. He is born organizer can
pick good men, tell them what to do
and how to do it, and get the best
work out of them. He is of a class
not big crowd-that make themselves
indispensable. The government can't
get along without men like Mr. Hitch

United States, where the pay for la
Dor is the highest in the world, the
possibilities for employment of this
class of help are just as great as in
the countries where it fourishes. The
question arises at once, what sort of
an industry is this which employs the
time and services of it's help and then
pays them nothing?
Mrs. RooseveIt's Helping Hand.
These willing workers are nothing
more than the lowly silk worm, living
on the leaf of the mulberry, and then
diligently spinning the glistening
strands of silver into an egg-shape
form that the keeper may reap the
reward, and the presidents wife
has made a compact with Secretary
growth in the United States. Mrs.
Roosevelt takes deep interest in the
question of American silk growing,
and believes that there is in the indus
try much hope for the farmers wives
and other women who need an income
from work at home. Our first lady of
the land by the way, has the rare at
tribute of much modesty, combined
with great generosity, and except to
her close circle of friends has nothing
to say about her many philanthropics
mostly directed toward the advance
ment of women's interests.
AS to silk growing, Mrs. Roosevelt
became interested in it something over
year ago, securing Secretary Will
sons powerful support; she stands
sponsor for what promises to become
very considerable American industry.
At the last Inauguration she wore a
magnificent silk gown, made of Amer
lean silk and woven on American
looms.
Money in Raising Cocoons.
The silk worm thrives most any
place where mulberry trees will grow.
The raising of them, according to
Fanny Brigham, requires only IS days
a year. Forty thousand worms hatch
from a single ounce of eggs, and their
cocoons when dried weigh about so
pounds, worth on an average dollar
a pound
1t is Mrs. Rooseyelt's idea that silk
worm culture in the United States will
be conducted principally by the farm
ers' wives and daughters, as it is in
Europe. Secretary Wilson is con-
vinced that there is a good profit in
the industry, and he will send to any
body, free of charge, all the mulberry
cuttings or seedlings required to start
silk worm growing. 1t takes about
three years, with good care, to get the
mulberry trees ready for cropping,
when the Department will send the
beginner all the eggs which the grove
will fnad Tho cillv roiSop ic tharn.
fore, really under no money expense
for starting the project, his share be-
ing only little patience and indus

Ethel Pritchett, of Albany, Indiana,
who is sixteen years old, and who has
produced silk oecoons from Italian
eggs finer than anything shown BY
Italy. Secretary Wilson highly praised

KiIrain's Son.

Jake Kilrain's son made his debut
in the prize ring the other night in
Baltimore, and was knocked out. The
young fellow showed up fairly we'll and
with a little more experience may make
good. 1t is a strange fact that sons
of famous fighters never amount to
much following the chosen profession
of their fathers.
Some years ago, Harry Gilmore's son
took up the noble art at which his dad
was so proficient, but made a miser-
able failure of it. But few instances
can be recalled where the younger gen.
GRAFTON of boxers has done anything to
uphold the regulations of their dad
dies. Jake Kilrain was a good boxer
IN his day, and there is no reason why
ne should not have a worthy represent

Il am sorry to have to make this

Sam Goodman Of something he was
wholly innocent of-and led sew

Had Reilly found the courage to
double the schemers and had
put Mccarthy out, instead Of allowing
himself to go down and out, the
other side, would have been bowling
bloody murder and telling about the
fixed fight instead of sitting back and

is fresh in the mind, although it was
made in a minor league.
In 1901 Harry O'Hagan was playing
first base for Columbus in the west
ern Association. Tin canned, he went
east to Newark, and the day after he
donned a New Jersey uniform he
pulled off the play that made him ia
nous. With men on first and second,
and, of course, nobody out, O'Hagan
was playing close to the bag, when the
next batter hit a liner directly into
mis- hands. The force of the ball was
enough to knock him back SO that his
foot touched the first sack, retiring the
runner, who was off the base.
O'Hagan, turning to throw to second,
saw that the runner there had started
at the crack of the bat and was nearly
to third. So, instead Of throwing the
ball, he sprinted to second base with
it in his hand, arriving in time to put
the third man out on the play.
Last season the Kansas City club of
the American Association made two
triple plays in one game at Toledo.

Scenic Beauty Of Great Cataract Is

Doomed if Power Plan Wins,
ALBANY, N. Y, March 6.-Tne real
Niagara power grab, it was announced
by Assemblyman Thompson of Maya
IA today, would be introduced in the
assembly in a few days. The bill will
make valid a defective charter now
owned by the Westinghouse Electric
company, in which the Vanderbilts are
largely interested, and will permit the
Lockport Power company to divert
millions of gallons of water from Mag
ara river, just above the falls.
With this additional onslaught by
power companies, the scenic beauty of
the falls will be destroyed in a few
years.
The companies that use the water
for power purposes are gradually ex-
tending their operations and building
cribs into the river to divert the flow
into the great power tunnel and canal.
If the companies go on at their present
pace the American falls, it is predicted,
will be dry before the end of twenty
years.

WILLIE 8. eooDE DECLARES HE
LAID DOWN TO JERRY
MCCARTHY.
Says Reilly Received Half the Money
Expose Creates Sensation
In Spokane.

Willie B. Goode, sporting editor of
the Spokane Press, has created a SEN
sation in the Falls city by openly de-
claring that the Reilly Mccarthy fight
before the Spokane Athletic club a
few weeks ago was a rank fake. Goode
makes his assertion after a thorough
investigation in which ne declares that
Reilly laid down to Mccarthy and re-
ceived within few dollars as much as
Mccarthy. Goode expresses himself as
follows:
After a week of close investigation
I am going to declare myself out of it
as a follower of Jack Reilly's dope
story.
"In fact I'm going to make public an
nouncement of the fact that, taking
Reilly's word for it, those of us who
have been slambanging Reilly's famous
Jew second, Sam Goodman, as the man
who passed the dope to Reilly in beef
tea bottle, did not know what we were
talking about.
Jack Reilly fooled those of us who
were closer to him in a friendly way
than the man with whom he entered
the deal to throw the fight between
himself and Jerry Mccarthy.
Il can say now, positively, basing
the statement on that of man who
knew what was doing and who tried
to brace Reilly up for a doublecross,
that Reilly was to go out. There was
no hope to it.
"The deal originated at the Club
cafe and Jack Reilly was to go out
at given time to Jerry. The phoney
bets placed on Reilly were always
covered from another direction and
the same men put up the money.
Before the dope racket was thought
of it had been framed by Reilly to
double cross the betters and Nc
Carthy by going in to put out Jerry.
But at the last minute Reilly's
hackers on this crooked play say that
a streak of yellow developed and
that he was afraid to go into the
deal for fear of losing all of the

OLYMPIA, March 6.-The senate
has indefinitely postponed the Palmer
bill fixing at $4,000 the salaries of the
judges of the supreme court. This
would increase by $4,000 the present
salaries.
The BURGLARY committee brought in
two reports, the majority recommend
ing that the bill be placed on general
file, the minority for indefinite post
ponement.
During the debate Senator Davis de-
clared that $4,000 a year was only pin
money for an ordinary man. He OPP
posed the bill, insisting that all state
and county officers were underpaid.

The sentiment in favor of using BIZ

which is now used on some streets in
that city. Yesterday Mr.. Mott re-
