MINERS REPORT ON
THE CASE OF MOVER
They say the Prosecution Was Backed
BY Roosevelt, and the Administra-
ton Has Been Made an Ally.

Denver. December 29.-rhe executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners, which has been in session here
for several days completed its report. 1t
contains the following:
The prosecution of Meyer Haywood
and Pettibone is not confined to the Mine
Owners association OF the West The
fact that in the recent political campaigns
President Roosevelt commissioned one Of
his political family to leave the nations
capital and invade the state of Idaho
and lift his voice in behalf of Gooding,
the political tool and chattel of the
Standard Oil company IS convincing evil
dence that the conspirators have en-
trenched themselves behind the Roosevelt
throne, and are using the administration
al Washington as an ally to bring about
the judicial murder of men WHO seorned
to PROSTATE themselves in submission to
the anarchy of corporate despotsm.
.rhe board met in response to a call
from Acting President Mahoney to audit
the books of Acting Secretary Treasurer
Kirwin. The books were found in excel
lent condition and Mr. Kirwin highly
complimented in the report.

CoaIing Depot AfIoat.

The Technical World Magazine for Jan
uary contain an account of "A novel meth
cd introduced by the British admiralty
for eoaling warship some distance from
land. The difficulty experienced in get
ting Welsh steam coal aboard by the
ordinary methods, led to the change. I'm
der the caption, "A Coaling Depot
Anoat' +. A. Trueblood thus describes
the new system:
The increased dimensions of war ves-
sells and attendant coal capacity, COM
bined with the growth of navies, renders
the storage of large quantities of coal i'm
perative, and the rapid charging of the
vessels bunkers desirable to maintain eff
ficiency. Storage on quays presents many
Disadvantages, for not only is much val
liable space occupied that could be turned
tc much more profitable account, but the
task of discharging the fuel therefrom
to vessels is attended with many Difficult
ties. since the facilities of handling are
necessarily somewhat limited
In order to overcome. If possible, these
disadvantages, the British admiralty re-
Gently decided to test a new type of float
ing coaling depot equipped with the lat
est facilities for transshipping coal 10
war vessels. For this purpose contract
was placed with the Tomperley Trans
porter company Of Bishopsgate street,
London, for one OF their patent depots
with capacity of 1900 tons.
IT is possible to moor the depot at any
convenient spot In the harbor. thus leav-
ing the quays unoccupied for other more
valuable work. Greater storage capacity
within defined space is secured, while
there is no breakage In loading the coal.
The article gives in detail a very inter-
esting description of the method.

Earthquake for st. Louis.
he ST. Louis Post-plspatch.

From the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. Louis will not have an earthquake
his year, but afterwood, look out, Thers
Is one headed this way, and 1t will reach
here some time within the next 500 years.
according to DIR. w. J. McGee, who ad-
dressed the st. Louis Society of Pedagogy
on earthquakes Tuesday at the Central
High school.
DR. MCGEE says the earthquake is sure
to arrive. He declares that IL will not
come this year because the San Irtnciseo
disturbances would have caused 1t had
conditions been ripe for an earthquake III
the immediate future.
DR. MCGEE divided earthquakes into t~o
classes-those due to volcanic action end
those following tectonic disturbances. fne
tectonio brand is the variety he predicted
for home consumption. He said st. Lo'us
was in one of the largest tectonic earth
quake regions In the world, and that
some of the most destructive earthquakes
known had occurred in this region. The
coming earthquake is being prepared eV-
cry day by the immense deposits of SELL
ment by the Mississippi river at fts
mouth.
DR. MCGEE said the Mississippi river de-
posted 400 COO, geo tons OF sediment annu-
ally at It's delta. This, he said, was taken
from the upper Mississippi valley AID
transferred to a small area at the delta.
1t had the effect. lac said, of tightening
the upper Mississippi river valley AID
putting this enormous weight at the del
ia, thereby causing general unbalanc-
ing and bringing earthquake nearer
every day. When sufficient weight has
been placed on the delta, 1t Will sink aud
cause the earthquake.
This sediment is the chief problem in
the construction of the deep waterway in
the Mississippi river. II can and viii
have to be controlled to build the waller
way, he believes.

PLAGUE AMONG WILD DUCKS.
Lakes In the Far North Covered With
Dead Birds.

Lachine, Can.-From the far north
comes bad news for sportsmen. There are
indications that great numbers of wild
ducks have died of some epidemic dis
ease.
Last year seemed to be a record year
for wild ducks. Broods were large AMI
early and when the autumnal flights be-
gan the birds were strong and not easily
killed. The spring flights were notably
larger than usual as a natural conse-
quenee and sportsmen expected remark
able fall for waterfowl.
The contrary has been the case. Bags
were miserably small. The autumn fights
have in many places not been seen at all
There has been disappointment all along
the line of lakes in these ATTITUDES where
hunters ar accustomed to wait for the
fall migration of the ducks.
A couple of travellers have just come III
from an overland trip down from Hudson
Bay, whose news suggests the first rea-
son for the scarcity of the birds They
report that lakes to the far north arc IN
some instances fairly covered with bodies
or dead ducks. They could not account
for the enormous mortality
About twenty years ago the writer In
vestigated a somewhat similar condition.
In that case the cause of the mortality
among the ducks was discovered to b.
intestinal, a kind of typhoid perhaps,
though in most instances quantities OF
minute worms of the tapeworm variety
were discovered.
All game waterfowl are subject to in
testinal troubles which are especially
prevalent In dry seasons, when pools and
lakes are more or less stagnant. Northern
lakes are usually fed by springs, which
suffice TO keep the level up to certain
standard.
mi. f..,t
the flow from them merely removes the
surplus. This accounts for the slight
changes in the appearances Of the re-
mote lakes after the phenomenal Gfy-
ness of the summer of 1905.
But where there is no current to speas
of the water is pretty sure to be bad.
Thus the cause of the disease which af-
flicts ducks may be found in stagnaEt
water, or those may be right who look
further for the cause of the trouble.
1t Is stated that the May fly suffered
severely this last year from a parasite,
which is commonly found lodging within
1t while in the chrysalis stage. 1t is said
that as the flies struggled to the surface
of the water in June they were so weak
ened by the attacks of the parasitic e'.e-
my that few of them managed to gather
enough strength to fly away at all.
Young ducks do devour a good many
embryonic water insects. May flies among
others no doubt. and last springs crop
may have contracted disease from some
of the infected insects. Or it may be hat
the mildness of last winter was favor
able to the increase of such microscope
pests as have caused the sickness among
the ducks.
At any rate the whole matter Is well
worth investigating by game protective
clubs, which may be able to enlist the
services of entomologsts In government
al nd prppppH n1onp qpipntfefip 1Inp 4
in their inquiries. Science has assisted
the anglers by developing and protecting
young fish. 1t may be no less necessary
to the sportsman who carries a gun.

national capital a gem among the cities
of the world, and the people of the coun-
try should take pride in making 1t such.
That is the esthetie side of the question.
The other side is prosaic and strictly eco-
nomical. The need of new public build
ings becomes more evident from year to
year. The Department OF State is now
crowded in with the Navy Department
and the War Department, to the great
Inconvenience of all three. The Depart
ment of Justice and the Department of
Commerce and Labor now carry on their
work in rented buildings widely scat
tered, inconvenlent, and unsuitable Some
day each of these must have its own
proper building. It is estimated that tho
sums now paid for rentals amount to y
moro than liberal interest on the cost of
suitable structures.
The Hepburn bill provides for the pur-
chase of land with a view to the ultl-
mate erection of these buildings. 1t is
estimated that S1000O,000 will secure for
the government through purchase and
condemnation, about 5000 acres of land
adjoining the Mall that extends westward
from the capitol to and beyond the mon
ument. 1t would include all the area lY-
ing between the Mall and Pennsylvania
avenue. 1t is altogether the proper place
for our department buildings. The value
of the land increases rapidly A few
years from now will probably find It
worth $15,OOO000. This Is the prosaic side
of the question, strictly matter of ma
tional economy.
We have the dollars and we need the
buildings. We should have the pride to
make our national capital a city beauti-
full, and we should have the wisdom ID
house our departments in a way that
will enable them to carry on their work
with every possible advantage of location,
space and surroundings.

LOOK INTO STEERAGES.
Straus Names Committee to Make Re-
port on Accommodations

Washington, December 29.-Secretary
Straus of the department of commerce
and labor today announced the appoint
ment of a committee to begin at once an
examination of the passenger act Of
1882" in its relations to steerage accom-
modations and of laws of other nations
on the same subject, to examine actual
steerage conditions and to report to him
fully on the subject
The secretary has designated Lawrence
o. Murray. assistant secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor; Eugene
II. Chamberlain. commissioner of naviga :
ton, and N. 7. Stranahan, collector of the
port of New York, to comprise the COM
mttee.
Secretary Straus expects to draft a bill
regulating steerage accommodations more
in accord with modern conditions and re-
quirements than the present law upon the
report of the commission as a basis for
the meSaure.

ATLANTA SALOONS
WILL RAISE PRICE
INCREASE OF PRICE OF LICENSES
MAY CAUSE STRAIGHT DRINKS
TO BE RAISED TO 2oc-FANcY
DRINKS, 25c.

Atlanta, December 29.-(Special) 1.-THE
barrooms of Atlanta are agtating the
question of raising the price of drinks,
and there seems to be every probability
that some early action will be taken along
this line The BARRIERS have started the
ball to rolling by putting the price of a
haircut and shampoo up to 50 cents each,
giving the increased cost of living as
their excuse. Now the barkeepers say
they are similarly affected, and must have
higher prices for their goods.
1t is thought the proposed increase in
the license from $1,000 to $2O00 which is
sure to be passed up next year, to go into
effect July /, has something to do with
this latest move of the saloon men. 1t is
proposed to put the price of whisky
straight, and other ordinary drinks at
% cents and of fancy drinks at % cents.

Indian Appropriation Bill Considered

Washington, December pa sub
committee of the Senate committee on
Indian affairs today began considera-
ton of the Indian appropriation bill,
but made no progress beyond hurried
review of its various features. The
committee is. of the opinion that some
of the restrictions now placed upon
the Indians are too onerous, and know
ing the difficulty of securing independ-
ent legislation provided for by means
of amendments to the appropriation
bill, it is probable that the proposed
changes will be strenuously opposed
by the interior department.
