JOIN IN THE MOVEMENT
Testify Their sympathy With the
Effort to Improve Spelling.

New York, August 27.-The SIM
plifed spelling board today announced
that two distinguished British schol-
ars had accepted membership to testi-
fly their sympathy with the new
movement to improve English ortho-
graphy. One is DR.. J. A. H. Murray,
the senior editor of the Great Oxford
Dictionary of the English language of
which the associate editor is Henry
Bradley, who Joined the simplified
spelling board some weeks g. The
other is Professor Joseph Wright, edi-
tor Of the English dialect dictionary.
In announcing these elections Brander
Mathews, chairman of the board said:

TO BUY DISTIIL1NG PLAINS
Oil Takes Steps Looking to
Ownership of Principal Plants LII
the United states.

Chicago, August 27.-The
Oil Company has taken steps toward
acuuitting ownership of all the prln-
cipal distilling plants in the Unlted
States. according to a special dispatch
from Peoria, Illinois, to the Tribune.
A conference. was held Friday last IN
Chicago representatives of
the distilling interests and the stand
ard Oil Company.
A price has been set upon every
distillery in Peoria and indications
are tina a deal will be effected and
the plants will pass into the hands
Of the Standard soon.
The chief reason Of this action on
the part Of the Standard Oil Company
was the recent passage OF the alcohol
bill by congress. Experts employed by
the Rockefeller interests after expert
ment. reported their product cannot
be made cheaply enough TO make a
serious competitor of gasoline, but
that it could be used in the manufac-
ture of mercerized cotton and other
fabrics and would be an extremely ia
vorable product to control.

The death sentence had long hung
over the head Of General Min. owing
to the disfavOr into which he had
fallen because of alleged harsh methods
and cruelties. It was General Colo
ne) Min. who commanded the Semin-
ovsky when the people were shot down
near the Technological institute in St.
Petersburg on October 81. and who. it
was stated. wanted to set the build
ings of the institute on fire and roast
the students inside. Min was sent by
the empehOr to suppress the disorders
at SaratO, after the assassination Of
Lieutenant General Sakaroff in Deem

place was quelled was dispatched at
the end of December to Moscow to as
sist in putting down the uprising there.
On April "a. a member of the fight
ing organization of the revOlutiOnists
disguised as an officer, who had called
at Minis residence several times n
requested to see him, excited the sus-
Dicion of the attaches of the house
hold and was arrested. 1t developed
that he was a revolutiOnist and was
armed with a revolver and a dagger.
On July IS last, it was reported that
some of the soldiers of the Seminosv-
sky guard at Krasnoye-Selo had served
notice on General Min that they in
tended to kill him at the first oppor-
tunity for forcing them to murder their
fellow-citizen in the Moscow revolt.
and that Min, in fear of his life, had
fed the camp.

In Germany Between American and
British Warships.

The PROCESS in gunnery made by
our navy in the last few years has
been simply wonderful. and it is dih-
cult for me to conceive how any other
nation could have improved faster.
You cannot speak too highly of the
Improvement We have made" The
above statement was made by Rear
Animal Bradford today, while dis
cussing the comparative records made
by the British and American navies
in target practice. Many other Ameri-
can naval officers are unanimous in de-
claring the American gunner leads the
world in workmanship. II has been
suggested by some Of these officers
that the American navy designate one
ship. preferably a b~attleship, manned
with picked gun crews, and for the
British navy to designate a similar ship
and for both TO be sent TO neutral wa
tiers. with a non-paTtisan judge and
referee, and hold a shooting tourna-
ment. Officers expressed b opinion
that such a contest is entirely posi-
BILE, and that the resulting SCORE would
demonstrate there is not a navy which
can compete with that OF the United
States. Admiral Bradford stated that
the tests in tha-two services are entire
" different in conditions. and that IL Is
also impossible TO make a comparison
between the two.-Washington Star.

CAPITOL SPELLING BEE
form MISUNDERSTANDING Tasks Laid
Aside.

Had President Roosevelt declared
war against Germany he could not
have caused much more agitation in
Washington than he has done by issu-
ing the reform of photography order.
The national capitol with its $4,000
clerks has been trans
formed into one vast spelling bee. Or
binary tasks of the day have been laid
aside while with wrinkled brows IN
Gle Sans employees are coming over
the list of 800 words announced as the
first output of the Roosevelt-Carne-
gle factory. Although it is said thar
the presidents order is intended 10
cover Immediately only the White
House documents and correspondence,
there is no doubt that the ultimate
purpose is TO have the new system OF
spelling adopted by all the executive
Departments.
Whatever the president says goes
with me-" is the motto OF high officials
generally in Washington. So despite
their personal prejudice in the matter
it is likely that there will be a general
scramble among various bureaus OF the
government, not only TO adopt the nrst
list Of words, but soon to cry Tor more.

PTZZLE TO METEOROLOGlSIS
Scientific Causes of the c tnpre-
cedented Rainfall are a Mystery.

Washington, August 27.-1he uh-
rainfall throughout the
east and south is interesting the mele-
oroloeists of the United States but
TINS far they have not found a salts
factory answer to their ~ientif IN
o1iries as to the causes. The average
rainfall for August in the vicinity Oh
WASHINGTON heretofore has been less
than 4 inches, but thus far TINS moh1h
more than u inches have fallen. Pro
fessor Edward B. Garrett, n OF the
official of the weather ou-
reau, said today that "thelralnS sea.
son has been a reversal of the general
distribution of barometric pressures;
This distribution has been unusual
and abnormal. Ordinarily at TINS
season Of the yea the barometer Is
high over the southern states and 10"
over the northern part OF the country.
During h past two months the pa
rometer has been high IN the nor.ii
and low in the south. That is the
Immediate cause of the long continued
smell of wet weather. No n knows
the real foundation of these condltlohs
which has brought more than tnree
time the usual amount OF raln1ail III
the month Of August.
