can be held in check for awhile long

the other hand, the agrarian move

Meat Inspection Disagreement.

mGdC inspection OiSd9TSeHCnIs
Washington, June 15.-Secretary
Loeb today gave out the following
summary of the letter of President
Roosevelt to Chairman Wadsworth
of the House Committee on Agricul-
ture disapproving the action of that
committee and its substitute for the
Beveridge amendment to the Agricul-
tural bill regarding the inspection of
meat products: sIn mis- letter to Mr.
Wadsworth the President stated that
almost every change in the proposed
how unintentional it was, in the Pres
| ident's Judgment was so framed as
to minimize the chance of roofing out
the evils in the packing business.
| The, President felt that it would
doubtless suit those packers who OBJ
jected to thorougngoing inspection,
but he also felt that it would in the
| long run be a heavy blow to honest
stock raisers and honest packers. In
his opinion the proposed amendment
would gravely hamper the Secretary
of Agriculture in doing the work ap-
pointed him to do, and would simply
defer the day when we could restore
| INT
to satisfactory conditions. The Presi-
dent had explained verbally that he
was far less concerned with the ques-
ton as to whether the packers or the
growers should pay for the inspection
| than with certain enforcement of the
bill
An informal conference of those
memebers of the House Committee
on Agriculture whose votes author
lied the report on the substitute for
the meat inspection amendment to
which the President objected. was
begun at 1880 today.

SWiped a Watch.

Yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock, a man by the name of o. c..
Womack walked into the jewelry
store of Park & Morrison, and hand
ing a Hamilton, open-faced watch,
gold filled, to the clerk, Homer Ora
ham, offered to sell it for ten dollars.
Mr. Graham's suspicious were arous-
ed, as the watch was worth at least
forty-fve dollars After some talk
Womack left the store without the
watch Marshal Rascoe was found
and a description of Womack given
him, and within a short time he was
run down and locked up. 1t is said
that he mas confessed to stealing the
watch from F. M Jump. the livery
man
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Jump left
his vest, which contained the watch,
hanging up in his Office at the stable.
Shortly after he discovered that it
was missing. 1t is evident that Wom-
ack entered and took the watch when
the stable was temporarily empty of
Mr. Jump or his employees. Womack
has not yet had a hearing.

A STRAINED SITUATION
Indignation Over Attempts of the
Government to Invade the Rights
of Members of Parliament A Plot
to Dissolve the Parliament.

= Bialystok, Russia, June 15.-So far
as can be ascertained thirty Jews
were killed during yesterdays out
break here. The hospitals are filed
with wounded, but it is impossible to
ascertain the correct number of cas-
ualties, as many of the injured are
hidden in private houses. All the
Jewish shops on four of the principal
streets were sacked. Military and
police patrols now guard the streets
and no civilians are allowed to leave
their houses. A sort of armed truce
has been established pending the
complete restoration of order.
According to information furnish
ed the Associated Press correspond

A Strained Political Situation.
ST. Petersburg, June 15.-The press
is unanimous in its profound pessi-
mism over yesterdays events in the
lower house of parliament. The stu
alton is strained to the breaking
point. The attempt of the military
procurator General PaEloff in behalf
of War Minister Rudiger to shift
the responsibility for military exc
cutions to the minister of the interior
is palpably an evasion of the issue
raised by the house and echoed
throughout the country. The result
is that a storm of indignation has
been aroused, and is being augment
ed by the cool attempt of the govern
ment to invade the rights of members
of parliament and its demand for the
expulsion of NJ Ulianoff Whether
the government dares to follow up
legally the refusal of the house to
expel Ulianoff and its fiaying of Pro
curator Pavloff is now the question.
NJ Alladin, leader of the peasant
workmen group, openely boasted yes
terday from the rostrum that the
death of the ministers would be the
| country's rejoinde- to the govern
ment's refusal to abolish the death
penalty Some of the newspapers be
| ly foreshadow the governments in
tention to dissolve the parliament
and they emphasize the statement
| that a concentration of the officers
| of the guard regiments is progress
| ing unnoticed before everybody &
eyes at the capital. The agitation
among workingmen here is increas
| ing and several strikes are already
/ in operation.

The reception given last night at
the rooms of the Commercial Club
to the members of the Texas
City Marshals Association, fifty in
number, was a most pleasing feature
of their hasty trip to this city.
Promptly at eight o'clock the mar
shals filed into the Club rooms and
were welcomed by President Richard
son, City Clerk Beck, Marshal Rascoe
Attorney Scott and the members of
the Club who were present.
A short and informal address of
welcome was made by President Rich
ardson The guests were told by
President Richardson that they were
most welcome, and that Roswell was
proud to have the honor of entertain
ing them although the city regretted
the shortness of their stay would not
permit of their seeing more of the
beautiful valley. He told them that
much of the great development of
the City and Valley was due to the
early settlers, the greater number of
whom came from the great state of
Texas Marshal Rascoe was blamed
by the speaker with sending to Anna
rillo for help in quelling a recent dis
turbance on the /treets of this city
His action, was however, heartily ap-
proved by Mr.. Richardson.
A short response was made by Lew
is Lowe, of Taylor, Texas. on behalf
of the Marshals' Association, and his
remarks were greeted with cheers as
he praised the beauty of the City of
Roswell and the hospitality of it's
citizens.
The evening was then spent in a
very informal manner. The rooms
were turned over to the guests, and
the remaining few hours passed most
delightfully."- in playing pool, billiards,
card games, telling stories and dispos
ing of a repast furnished by the
Club
1t was reported that Marshal Ras
coe and Policeman Witt had complied
with the rules and regulations of the
Marshals' Association and had been
accepted as members.
Stories were told by E. E. Simpson
of the P. v. lines and w. S. Wheeler
of Houston. Texas. President of the
Humane Society. Both sanEemen
covered themselves with glory.
1t is seldom that Roswell has had
the opportunity of entertaining a
more pleasant set of men and gentle
men than the members of the Texas
Marshals proved themselves, and i
is safe to say that the Marshals them
selves will never regret their hast.

TAXING A CHINESE OATH

IN the Straits Times of Singapore
appears a description Of the way Chi
namen took an oath before giving tes-
timony in lawsuit. "At . o'clock"
it says, "all the parties were on the
ground behind the courthouse with ii
large company of spectators in attend
ance. 1t had lain with the plaintiff to
provide the fowls and he certainly
had not followed the old scriptural
behest that the sacrificial lamb should
be the sweetest of the flock or the
dove the whitest and plumpest in the
brood. Two meager cockerels, whose
original color may have been white
but was now a drab gray, floundered
on the ground with their legs tied and
beside them lay joss sticks and little
candles and murderous-looking
chopper. The interpreter having gone
through the preliminaries, one of the
Cinnamon fixed the joss sticks in the
ground and set them afire. Then in a
businesslike way he took up the chop

pairing to cut off its head upon a loose
brick. But the owner of the weapon

NINE OF RAINBOW WOOD

The collecting of rainbow wood is a
comparatively new industry IN Maine.
Though the dwellers along the sea
board have known for years that drift
wood picked up from the salt water
gave out iridescent tints when burned
in open CRATES. they attached no value
to the coloring of the flames until the
summer visitors came down east and
changed the picking of driftwood from
an occupation akin to idleness into a
profitable calling.
For five years the whole coast line
of Penobscot bay has been secured in
quest of wood, and when the supply
grew scarce and the prices advanced
from $40 to $25 cord, Boston chem
ist grew rich by inventing a powder
which when burned with dry wood
yielded colors nearly as bright as the
genuine wood from the sea.
This fall Emery Bowden, a farmer,
who sold considerable driftwood in
former years, went to the salt mea-
dows at the foot of his field and began
to dig a supply of muck When he
had excavated a hole about ten feet
deep he came to a flooring of great

was not going to risk the edge of his
chopper and he fetched a plank of
wood upon which to have the opera
tion performed.
Then the executioner came down
with mighty whack upon the poor
complaining cock and its career was
ended. And so with the next one.
Then the headless bodies began a
ghastly dance upon the place of their
execution until the muscles stiffened
and they became stark. The Chinese
will not eat a fowl which has been
used for the purposes of this oath, but
a grinning Indian watchman took pos
session of the bodies-heads and all
and no doubt reveled in unwonted
abundance of curried fowl that night.
at was rather interesting to notice
the haste with which the parties who
had taken the oath cleared off after
ward. If, as the Chinese believe, the
gods are very touchy upon the sa-
credness of the ceremonial and quick
to punish its infractors, the men
seemed determined not to run any
chance of summary visitation on the
spot"

OVER ABODES OF SAVAGES

Walde-lar Jochelsor, the Russian
scientist, who has recently returned TO
the United States from Siberia, where
he spent two years as head of the
Jesup expedition, tells many interest
ing things of the maritime Koryaks,
living in scattered villages along the
shores south of the Behring and Okh-
otsk seas. A striking and characters
tice phase of Koryak life, according
to Mr.. Jochelson, is their peculiar
hour-glass-like houses. These are re-
markable subterranean habitations
having a fetid atmosphere almost un-
bearable to the white traveller. From
a distance one of the houses has the
appearance of some huge invert-
ed funnel arising out Of a snow
bank. The craterlike top, besides
forming roof, is used as a
general storing place for food and
all sorts of articles. 1t slopes down
ward to an aperture in the center,
which serves as a smoke hole, venti-
lator and passageway below. A num-
ber of logs arranged in a circuit sup
port the framework of the roof, the
lower end of which rests on a second
airy pile of timbers. forming the slant

For nearly nine months the whole

most to the protecting roof with tors
of snow, chinked in with frozen earth
and debris. This brings the inmates
at all times about ten feet below the
surface. Undoubtedly the most as
tonishing and spectacular feature OF
The Koryak house is the means of en-
trance. The roof is attained by seal
ing a narrow split log, extending down
from the top, having holes cut in it
for the feet and hands. The interior
is reached by descending another per-
pendicular hewn stairway covered
with a slippery coating of grease and
SCOT, which none but a native can sue
cessfully accomplish. The inclosure
has a ground floor and is barren of
anything in the shape of furniture.
Large copper vessels for cooking
seal and blubber and a kettle used
for melting snow are the chief house
hold utensils. The diet is limited al
most exclusively to fish, half-cooked
seal and whale flesh, with Russian
brick tea as an occasional luxury.
Some thirty to forty of both sexes,
usually relations, inhabit one dwelling.
Small skin sleeping booths, some six
feet high by five in width, heated by
a lamp in the center, are arranged
around the walls. Invariably thick
fumes of smoke and SCOT fill the room.
