The tornado was q mile wide and
travelled over the earth for distance
of eight miles, leyeling everything in

Emulsion

When you 60 to a drug store
and ask for SCOTS Emulsion
you know what you want; the
man knows you ought to have
it. Don't be surprised, though,
if you are offered something
else. Wines, cordiaIs, extracts,
etc., Of cod liver oil are plenti-
full but don't imagine you are
getting cod liver oil when you
take them. Every year for thirty
years we've been increasing
the sales Of SCOTS Emulsion.
Why? Because It has always
been better than any substitute
for It.

NAVAL OFFICERS LEFT BEDS TO AID FRISCO SUFFERERS.

WASHINGTON, May 2r-The Navy Department is in receipt of further evidence of the heroic conduct of the personnel of that branch Of the ser vice when earthquake and fire ever took San Francisco.
 This came in the shape of report from the United States Navy Hospital at Mare Island, giving the names of three officers who were patients and who volunteered for duty when disas- ter overlook the Golden Gate City. These officers were Ensign R c. Davis, Lieutenant A. Stokes. Marine Corps, and Lieutenant F. A. Udell. Marine Corps.
 Rear Admiral McCalla, commandant of the Mare Island Navy Yard. in for warding their names to the depart ment says:
 These officers are, in the opinion of the commandant, to be commended for their zeal and for the fact that, notwithstanding they are in the naval hospital, they applied for or contin- ued on duty after the earthquake and subsequent fire in San Francisco"
 Lieutenant Stokes, 1t was shown, continued on duty at the main gate daily as officer of the guard, while Ensign Davis and Lieutenant Udell were directed by the commandant, in conformity with their request, to pro- ceed to San Francisco and report for duty.
 When the emergency was over these two officers returned to Mare Island and re-entered the hospital.

House Entered and Watch and Pendant Taken = Boy Is
 Suspected of Theft.
CIRCUMSTANCES | POINT sTRodelY.
Thomas McGraw, 8-Year-0Id Youngster, Found at Scene Immediately After Robbery Was Discovered.

While Mir. and Mrs J. P. Policy were snending a part of the day away from their home last Sunday, their house was entered and gold watch and pendant, valued highly as keep sakes, were taken. Thomas Mc- Graw, an S-year-old hoy who resides in Upper Tombstone canyon, is charg- ed with the offense.
 The Polleys live in what is known as Laughlin Avenue, side canyon, branching from the main canyon near the Dreyspring residence.
 Mrs. Policy returned from visit with neighbors last Sunday afternoon, and found the McGraw boy on the porch of her home She thought noth- ing of the matter until entering the house and discovered that her watch. a ladies' Elgin, and a gold pendant were missing. She. immediately ques- tioned the McGraw boy, who could give no satisfactory explanation of his presence about the premises at the time.
 The matter was allowed to drop for the time being until Mir. Policy could be notified. Upon that gentleman s return he was told of the matter, and went at once to the McGraw home, where he met with no encouragement. At first young MeGraw would not ad- init taking the jewelry, but later con fessed that he took the articles from chiffonier, later placing them under the bureau in his own home. When, a few moments after he went to take them to a better place of safety, he could not find them. No amount of questioning on the part of Policy or Judge Mcdonald, whose assistance was enlisted yesterday. could elicit anything further tending to throw light on the present whereabouts of the Policy property.
 Yesterday an informal examination was made of the McGraws by Justice Mcdonald. Constant interference on the part of the mother of the boy caused suspicion to revert to her, and Policy stated last night that he felt that the articles would finally be found on her person or in her possession. The confession of the boy and the
 subsequent mystery surrounding the loss of the stolen articles makes the case a most complicated one, and 1t IS the belief of those most interested that the mother of the boy knows more than she is willing to tell or even allow the boy to tell
 | She puts up in defense of her tale that she fears the anger of her bus band should the theft come to his
 knowledge. Unless the jewelry is re turned this morning, it is the inten tion of Policy to push the case to an
 issue and punish some one for the
 theft

PENDING JAPANESE TARIFF
 AFFECTS AMERICAN FLOUR

WASHINGTON, May 2:.-Consul General Henry B. Miller, of Yokohama, has furnished report to the Bureau of Manufacturers on tariff bill pend. ing before the Parliament of Japan, which measure has been passed, with slight notifications, at the present session. The first and foremost plan of Japan is shown by this bill to be the building up of the country as a manufacturing and commercial port.
 Coal is placed on the free list, as well as ships stores transferred in harbors. Japan prepares for retalia- tory tariffs against countries discrim- mating against her vessels and pro- ducts, and proposes also to prevent importations of bounty-made products of other countries.
 The raised tariff on wheat flour to 72 cents per 133 younds will make this food too expensive for the masses, and reduce the consumption of American four The wheat rate Is to tap the great wheat supply of Manchuria and Mongolia, using Japanese mills.

DUE FTON' N'SESCAPE Tucson Officer Came Near Get ting Stiff Sentence and
 Fine. MCDONALD LOOK HIM a as6QR WRONG MAN.
Thought He Was Individual is Who Had Been Getting Gay,
 and But for SnodgrasS He
 Would Have Been Severe.

It was by the merest chance that Constable Dufton of Tucson, escaped a time sentence on the Bisbee chain gang and stiff fine in Justice Me Donald's court while in Bisbee few days ago to take charge of two pris- oners.
 It was Marshal Hank Snodgrass, a Shriner. and well known in Tucson. who came to the rescue of the Tucson officer and saved him from the wrath of the Bisbee dispenser of justice.
 It must not be inferred that Justice Mcdonald had it in for the Tucson officer. He did not. He merely mis- took Constable Dufton for a Bisbee man who had been getting unusually fresh with the court and who was booked to draw juicy sentence.
 Constable Dufton came to Bisbee after two people who are wanted in Tucson for petty larceny. He had pre- viously wired Bisbee and had them rested by the local officers. He re- turned with the prisoners.
 The first man the Tucson officer met was Marshal Hank Snodgrass. After the usual Bisbee greeting, Mar shal Snodgrass invited Dufton to vis- 1t Justice McDonald's court.

 The two officers proceeded to the courtroom. The bunch of iags were just being brought up before Justice Mcdonald, who after deliberately ad- justing his glasses, looked them over carefully
 Sit down there" remarked Marshal Snodgrass to Constable Dufton in the Bisbee tone, which is several degrees sharper than the Tucson normal voice. The Tucson officer sat down-in the prisoners row. The jags were quick ly disposed of.
 Then Justice Mcdonald looked over his spectacies.s His countenance was stern and severe. He contemplated the Tucson officer for a minute.
 You come over here" the justice | finally remarked. You are charged with The justice never completed the sentence.
 Marshal Snodgrass jumped up. Your honor, this is not prisoner. He is Tucson officer here after two | offenders. Allow me to present Con stable Jack Dufton."
 The court looked nonplused for a minute. Then he said: ''The court is in error-in grievous error, and for this mistake the court fines himself the usual honors. This court stands ad- journed until the fine is paid | And it was. Justice Mcdonald en route with the two officers to the ice cream emporium, confessed that he had mistaken, Constable Dufton and expected to impose fine of $50 and sentence of thirty days in the chain gang. He had thought the officer a local man who had been getting un' usually gay with the court.

The trusts may be convicted in our courts, but that is very doubtful, not because the courts are corrupt or cor ruptible. but because the trusts are able to employ the greatest legal tai. ent to appear for them, and because, further, there is not law upon the statute books inimical to the trusts that has not in it loopholes through which they can escape the penalties for violated law.
