Freezing and Frost Bites.

A point to bear in mind at this sea-
son is that in case of freezing or FROST
bite, heat must never be applied at first.
Aim at gradual restoration. Use fric-
ton, with snow or ice or cold water, and
get up all the friction possible. After
awhile let heat be applied in the most
gentle manner possible. If in the case
of freezing animation does not return.
try artificial respiration, as in the case
of drowning. If sores follow frost bite.
treat with some reliable ointment. II

The production of the state prison of

OLSON of the state board of control, be-
fore the house committee on binding
Irvine The output he said should be
increased from 10, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900
pounds per year, so that clubs of the
poorer farmers could order state Irvine
through dealers who guaranteed pay
ment and were allowed profit of 1
cent a pound, the same as if they
bought the Irvine outright. The far

saving.

FataI-Assassin Joe Leanto Falls Fatally
Wounded in Encounter With Posse.

Lying side by side in the Emergency
Hospital are the bodies of the partici-
pants in the tragedy at Lorton, Va,
yesterday, those of the school teacher,
George w. Malcolm, and of the Italian
who murdered him. The latter fell in the
course of a battle with the posse which
pursued him. but it is claimed that he
committed suicide.
The Coroner will view the remains
some time today.
The murdered man, George w. Nal
colin died at II o'clock last night, and
his assassin Joe Leanto, a railroad la
borer, who formerly lived at 107 Penn
sylvania avenue expired just one hour
later. Both men breathed their last IL

They were, however, hidden from eacl
other by a screen. and Malcolm passed
away without knowing that Leanto lay

Commissioners Not Willing to Abide by

The Commissioners are not willing 10
accept the decision of snow law cases
as announced by the Court of Appeals
of the District, and have determined to
take the matter to the Supreme Court of
the District to have the validity of the
regulation determined.
The appeal to the highest court will

who was convicted in the Police Court
of violating the law relative to the re-
moval of snow from the pavements. Mr..
Lee took an appeal from the Judgment
against him in the trial court to the
Court Of Appeals
The latter court reversed the action of
the Police Court on the ground the
Commissioners are without authority to
promulgate such laws as that made
relative to the removal of snow from
the pavementS
The questions involved in the Lee
case are practically the same as were
considered in the Cecilia M. Coughlin
case in which the judgment against her
by the Police Court was reversed by the
higher court
in that case however, the Commits
sionerS lost the right of appeal because
1t was not asked for until after the
mandate of the Court or Appeals had
been issued to the Police Court
When the decision of the court against
the Commissioners was announced yes

poration Counsel Edward H: Thomas

peal might be taken to the Supreme
Court of the District

All the newspapers condemn Chile
note to Peru. La Presna says:
"Chile is following the policy of the
big stick which all South American
nations unanimously condemn on the
part of the United States. Chile has no
argument but strength against a small
and weak country. No South American
nation can have confidence in the sta
b.lity OF its rights nor value interna-

debating her policy based only on the
right of strength
Surely if Peru had an army and navy

Trade Report.

Commercial conditions seldom
change at midsummer, and quiet mar
kets usually prevail unless there is a
movement with the commodities of
exchange in response to crop reports.
The past week has proved no excep-
ton to the general rule. Seasonable
merchandise has gone into distribution
freely at retail, duplicate orders for
summer lines are more numerous
with jobbers, now that the weather
has become settled, and travelling
statesmen send in substantial contracts
to wholesale dry goods houses for fut-
ure delivery. Manufacturing plants
are we'll employed for this time of the
year, when it is customary to make
inventories and repairs, but next week
the idleness wiz be further increased
after which a general resumption OF
activity is anticipated.
This confidence in the future and
the increasing promptness of mercan.
tile collections are the best features
of the trade situation. Railway earn
ings thus far reported for June were
10 per cent larger than last year, and
foreign commerce at this port for the
last week showed gains of $2,832,27
in exports and $45,339 in imports, as
compared with 1904. In the hide mar
ket no change has occurred, but for
mer conditions have been more pro
nounced, light sides gaining strength
while heavy skins were weakened
Although the tone of the market fol
hides remains easy, no further conces
sions are reported.
Failures last week were 249 in the
United States, against 219 last year
and 16 in Canada, compared with II
year go.
