Lock Canal.
Decided Upon for Pana.
ma by a Vote of 1.-THE
House-Stood no to
SO.

Washington, June 15.--By a vote OF
l1O to 36 the house today decided upon
lock canal for Panama. The ac-
ton was taken in committee of the
whole during the consideration of the
$25, 100000 provision of the sundry ap-
propriatioh bill The Republicans
were unanimous for the lock canal
proposition and number of Demo-
Gratis voted with them
An unsuccessful fight was made by
the Democrats to so amend these ap-
propriations that no supplies for the
canal other than those of American
manufacture can be purchased. Upon
the statement OF Republican floor
leader Payne, of New York, that the
senate joint resolution providing for
the purchase of all materials in the
American markets, unless in the opin-
ion of the president the prices of the
articles are too high will be presented
to the house, the majority voted down
the Democratic amendment.
Chairman Burton, of the river and
harbor committee addressed the mem
bers for over an hour upon the desir-
ability of the lock canal over the sea
level type. The sea level canal will
cost 100000 600, more, and he said,
consume twenty years in building
The average width of the sea level
canal will be only three hundred feet,
while the lock canal which he said
can be completed by 1914 will have a
width of six hundred feet

FOR RANSOM
The Kidnapped Boy is Being Held
and the Police Expect to Land
the Ahductor

and the Police Expect to Land
the Abductor.
Philadelphia, June 15.-The mystic
rious kidnapper of seven-year-old
Freddie Muth is within the shadow of
arrest.
Captain Donaghy and his detectives
know the school Doy's abductor, and
the mans apprehension is looked for
at any hour
Police officials refused to make pub
lie the kidnapper's name, declaring
that it would be withheld until the
man had been arrested. The motive
for stealing the boy together with
other startling and important reyela-
tions were given out as follows by
the police:
Freddie Muth is the victim of a
blackmailing plot and is being held
for ransom. The boys captor is
known to the police. His identity and
family history are known to Captain
Donaghy, but the man does not know
the Muths nor is he known to them.
Two men are known to have been in
terested in the kidnapping according
to the police. One of them is a Phil
adelphian. There was no woman in
the case. The kidnapper and his pal
have not yet demanded money of the
boys parents, although they are
known to be preparing to do SO and
the police expect to nab" them 30
soon as they make this move.

PREMISES LOOTED.

Going from house to house which
have been deserted by their occu-
pants, the Hooligans first loot the
premises of their contents and tnen
set fire to the houses to cover up
their dastardly work All thus rob-
bed were formerly occupied by Jews
who led In the mobs vengeance. After
finishing their-work in the houses the
mob turned its attention to the Jew
ish shops and stores and as soon as
they pilfered the contents applied the
torch.
Forming in broken columns the
nobs began marching through streets,
flogging almost to death every Jew
who happened across their path.
FIFTY KILLED.
Already fifty Jews have been killed
and more than 300 wounded haye
been unable to enter the hospitals be-
cause OF lack of facilities. The suf-
ferings of the wounded are beyond
description, their wounds, owing to
lack of doctors and the necessary
medicines, being uncared for.
Escaping from the mob vengeance
Jews are encamped in forest near the
town, guarded by troops.

YelloNtail Fishin1.

There are no ..between rounds, no

He Is fighting for his life desperately,
no quarter given nor asked, with an
amazing staying power akin to that
marvellous faculty of the leaping tuna.
The angler is far more likely to be
the first one exhausted; the inches Of
line gradually granted to the pump
ing" rod are earned by the sweat of his
brow and the semiparalysis of the BIZ
ceps.

dozen lusty yellowtail have capitulated

MAN HuMBLED.

Once III while, nature, whom
man has learned to treat almost
as his plaything, rises and smites
her conqueror in way to re-
mind him of his frailty. This
has just recently occurred in
Lower California, where the
Colorado river, wrathy at the
arrogance of man in partially
diverting it from it's channel for
irrigation purposes, broke all
restraint and is now forming a
great inland sea out Of what is
known as the Salton sink.
This mighty valley was for.
merly a part of the ocean, but
was cut off by seismic upheaval,
and when the sun dried up the
water, deep beds of salt were
left. The Southern Pacific rail
road had been mining this
deposit for a number of years,
and several small but prosperous
villages had sprung up in the
valley.
These towns, the railroad
tracks and all have been buried
under the onrushing water, and
now over 400 square miles Of
land have been inundated. This
is not the worst; unless the
water can be stopped, it is
certain that the whole valley, an
area larger than Lake Superior,
will be overlooked.
In the meantime engineers are
matching their skill against the
strength and fury of the out
ragged Colorado, in an effort to
force the river back into its old
channel. Man may cong uer in
the end, but he has atleast been
taught q lesson in humility.
