II q bill now under consideration by
congress becomes law. The bill was
Introduced by Representative Allen,
of Maine, and has the support of many
nurserymen. It is designed to protect
those who devote their energy and
talents to the production Of a new
flower, only to have 1t taken from
them by anyone who cares to raise the

said, from nurserymen and florists
who are actuated by purely CONNER

New Ray a Real Death Test.


Prof. Elmer Gates, the scientist of
Washington, has announced that he
has discovered ultraviolet rays of
light of certain wave lengths which
seemed to go far toward solving some
of the fundamental mysteries of life,
death, disease and thought transfer
ence. Living subjects placed in these
strange rays throw a shadow which
exists only as long as there is life in
the subject. When the subject dies 1t
suddenly becomes transparent and the
shadow vanishes. The new rays at
ford, Prof. Gates says, the first and
only accurate method of determining
II a person is actually dead. BY these
rays the innermost processes Of hu-
man thought are revealed.

Nrs. Albert Metoalfe + Placed In
Charge OF Naval Establishmsnt
at sackstt's Harbor, N: T.
Husband Held Position 0

Sackett's Harbor, N. Y.-The chargt
and care OF government naval e1tab'
lishment has been turned over to 8
woman, and Zone of the tender sex fo1
the first time In the history Of Thu
American navy has che rank OF ship
keeper"
The woman Is Mrs. Albert III. Met
ealfe. She has been placed in charge
of the navy yard near this town, or
Lake Ontario, not far from the St
Lawrence, and will receive a salary Of
1865 year. (. FS
Albert H. Metcalfe, keeper of the
yard since 1868, died recently, and his
position was given to his widow. The
6tckett's Harbor navy yard is not a
big establishment. It consists OF an
acre and half Of ground. on which
there are half dozen sma.1 build
ings and a few guns used In the wal
of 1912. %&&
It used to be a prominent place. and
shortly after the close of the war a
ship-of-the-line, then the biggest and
best type of war craft built, equivalent
of the flrst-class battleships Of mod
ern times, was planned, and the build
Ing begun at Sackett's Harbor. The
vessel was to have been the New Or
loans. -
The work progressed slowly, how
ever, and was finally abandoned, but
the hull of the big vessel remained
upon the stocks. Away back, prob
ably along in the '40s Or SOS, a man
uamed Me+~alfe was appointed ship
keeper" "a 1893 he died, and his son,
Albert r., succeeded him in the posi-
ton. Some years ago all that was
left of what was to have been the New
Orleans was torn down; but the posi-
ton and the title of keeper remained.
Albert H. Metcalfe watched the gov
eminent belongings around Sackett's
Harbor for SO years, and then died.
During all the years the bureau OF
yards and docks of the navy depart
ment has regularly submitted an esti.
mate OF 1866 to congress for the an
nual salary of the "shipkeeper at
Sackett's Harbor, and that is probably
the only place where the name ship
keeper" appears In an official way on
the records.

It need hardly be said that the rites

Only after patient research did ! find
the new abode OF the Satanists. Their
chapel now Is in great new apart

within the shadow of the cathedral Of
the Sacred Heart, on Montmartre. As
of old, Satan is worshiped: every Fri

name many of them-men not I'M

National Park on Historic Spot Where

Out tho Project,

AIS Denver, Colin order to ascertain
whether or not the Clif DWellers
ruins of southwestern Colorado are
really within the boundaries OF the
proposed National park in Mesa Verde
Prof. Edgar L. Hewitt, Of the bureau
Of American ethnology, at Washing
ton. D. c., left Denver for Mancos
While here he was in consultation
with the United States surveyor gen.
eral for Colorado relative to the plan
to include the strange dwellings OF
ancient Indians within the govern
ment preserve.
Word has been received by the sur
vsyor general from Washington that
the contract for running the line from
the sixty-eighth to the eighty-eighth
mile post along the northern boundary
of the Southern Ute Indian reserva-
ton has been awarded to George
Mills, of Mancos, who will start i'm
mediately for the locality, accompan-
led by Prof. Hewitt
A bill is pending in congress to
establish a national bank out of the
Mesa Verde. II possible, it is desired
to have all, or at least a good part, of
the famed Cliff Dwel4ers' homes In
cluded within the boundaries of the
tract, so that these ruins, Of great his
torical value, may be under direct
government supervision.
The northern boundary Of the 1u-
dian reservation, especially between
the mile posts named, is in consider
able doubt and the government plans
to establish an official line. It will
then be known whether or not the
ruins, or most of them, lie within the
boundaries of the National park. II
only small fraction of them is with
in the limits, 1t Is not improbable that
the government will take steps to &C
quire sufficient reservation land from
the Indians to include the cliff dwell
ings.
This is the first indication that the
government really intends, II practi-
cable, to acquire these historic homes
and preserve them. Lines will be run
from the northern line of the reserva-
ton to all the main spots Of interest
within the Cliff Dwellers' territory.
Prof. Hewitt, who was formerly
connected with the State normal
school at Greeley and who has made
thorough investigation of the Man
cos country, is prepared to designate
all valuable portions of the tract. He
will spend two or three weeks on the
ground with the surveyors under
Mills.
1T is a shame that the people Of
Colorado did not awaken to the I'm
portance of these cliff dwellings In
time," said Prof. Hewitt. "They are
historically precious, and should be
preserved by the government. Their
duplicate cannot be found. Indians
and relic hunters are fast destroying
them"

Marshal Porter Will Resums Office
About February Tenth

Davis, I. T., Feb. 2.-The ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Porter as United
States marshal for the southern
district was a great surprise to
many, but it is believed here to be
for the Republican party in the
Chickasaw nation. Marshal Porter
will take hold with a free hand and
without any promises and from his
reputation he will make a fearless
and efficient officer. When seen in
Muskogee today he said:
/ shall attend strictly to business
and enforce the law as understand
it. Ny notion of square deal is
to treat all men with fairness but
enforce the laws regardless Of con-
sexuences."
The new marshal will not be
ready 10 assume the reins of Office
before the 10th Of February, it is
believed, but as Colbert's trial is
set for the 18th it is thought he will
relieve the present incumbent on OF
about the roth.

vote on the measure.
The mayor was asked if he had
given the matter any investigation
and he said that he had. He pro-
ceded to read letters from officials
at Lawton, Shawnee, King6sher,
Enid. Anadarko, Oklahoma City
and Tulsa in response to inquiries,
showing that the price paid the
same service as was furnished here
was as low and in most cases low
er than Chickasha is paying. His
honor made a vigorous talk on the
matter and his position showed that
was not in favor Of granting the
franchise unless the company
wonld be willing TO make further
concessions, He would not be
against an extension however if
properly safe guarded.
1t being evident that no deciding
vote could be had at that time, il
was finally decided that commit
tee composed of Scoffern, Louthan,
Cochran and o. Brien wait upon
Judge Holmes this morning and
ascertain if futher connection could
not be secured from the company
in favor Of the city. The council
stood adjourned until this evening
at 7 30 when the committee will re-
port and the franchise or its ex-
tension will be passed on.
