SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SANTA BARBARA, Oct. s.-Dressed

morning. in readiness for the proposed
Standardization trials over the meas

Again. however, the fog baked the
plans of the builders and navy men. 1t
hung like pail over the channel and
the shore. making 1t impossible at 7
o'clock to distinguish objects any dis

lifted somewhat and 1t was thought the
trials might be held after ALL The de-

Within short time the California was

back ranges. as all the runs over the

Chief Engineer Gardner of the Union

day.
The members Of the board will be at
their stations tomorrow and just as
soon as the weather clears will make
the trials. The builders are hoping for
clear weather within a day or SO, but IL
Is quite possible that the low channel
fog may continue for several days
without a let up.
The California is certainly In hard
luck. for there had been no fog for
weeks previous to her arrival. and If
she had arrived two days earlier all
would have gone according to pro-
gramme The fog will cut no figure

Live Wire Which Precipftates Him
Forty Feet fO the Grouud

F. Bartholomew of 1910 Masonic ave-
nue., an electrician employed by the
Board of Public Works. was probably
fatally injured by a fall of forty feet
from telephone pole on Larkin street.
near Post at o'clock yesterday after
noon, after having received a shock of
500 volts, which caused him to lose his
hold. He is lying at the Central Emer-
gency Hospital with a broken arm, his
head, shoulders and trunk badly lacer-
ated and bruised and internally in
jured.
Bartholomew was working with a
fire wire at the top of the pole,
when span wire attached to the troll
ley wire of the United( Railroads
dropped across the wire in his hands,
grounding the current and sending 500
volts of electricity through his body.
Although he was not burned, the shock
caused him to lose his grasp on the
pole and he fell heavily to the side
walk below. He was picked up uncon-
. scious and earried to the Central
Emergency Hospital by S. O'Leary and

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Oct. s.-Popular
anger against the modus vivendi ar
ranged by the United States and the

that the compromise arrived at was
a backdown on the part of the British
Ministry.
LONDON. Oct. s.-FollowIng the lead
OF the Newfoundland papers, whose
opinions on the modus vivendi have
been cabled here, the evening papers
today denounce the agreement as a
"one-sided bargain" between the
United States and Great Britain.

purse-beining the United States pro-
posed an alternative to allow Ameri-
can boats to take on crews within
the three-mile limit, but again New

that the modus vivendi had finally
been signed was conveyed to Secretary
Root in a cablegram from Embassador
Reid today. No information has been
received at the State Department con-
corning the proposed resignation of
the officials of the Newfoundland Gov
ernment on account of the new agree
ment. Some facts in relation to the
Newfoundland Government and the
fisheries were stated In which 1t ap-

JAPANESE SURGERY
ON BOARD WARSHIPS
Instructions Are Given to
Merely Dress Wounds, Ex-
cept in Emergency Cases

japanese naval surgery was described
by Surgeon General Shigemichi Suzuki
in most interesting paper read before
the Association Of Military Surgeons at
its last annual meeting in Detroit He
does not mention anything new in the
way OF surgical, technic or operative
interference. for the keynote of all
their methods is TO do as little as pos
sible. The report will no doubt be
keenly disappointing to those who have
read the popular literature. which
seems TO have imputed superhuman in
telligence to the little Oriental sur
geons.
Suzuki reports that they foresaw the
impossibility OF securing surgical asep-
sis on a warship in battle. Even in
peace il is difficult, and operations are
never performed on shipboard except in
cases OF extreme urgency. Hence the
Junior Japanese surgeons were ordered
to make their wounds as clean as pos
sible, dress them and then leave them
alone Easily removed splinters of
shell or wood were removed, Of course.
but no search was made for them
Their plans were devised with a view
Of removing the wounded to a real hos
pital on shore in the quickest possible
time.
The results OF the system were very
good. indeed OF the men who We're
struck about half were killed outright

val warfare when there are any casu-
alties. OF the 1871 wounded only III
died, though but 6z7 had been hurt

Of these only thirty-two died
Conservative surgery in war has had
q brilliant vindication, and the results
should open the eyes Of those who con-
stantly write Of the necessity of alb
dominal operations on the dirty battle
neld in modern land warfare also the
idea now seems TO be TO get the
wounded back to where they can be
properly treated. Suzuki wisely said
that il was wrong to spend a long
time over q few cases and let the
others wait. consequently they were all
treated alike with temporary dressings

applicable in land battles merican

TRYING To RESTORE
MORGAN HORSE.

Lovers of horses the country over,
but particularly the farmers and light
harness drivers of New England, will
follow with interest the results of the
effort of the Agricultural Department
to restore the Morgan horse to its for
mer position of dominance.
AS a result Of the craze CT was lit
tie short OF that for animals of heav-
Ter type, which Western horses were
brought IN to meet, the serviceable
Morgan has been allowed to run out
until 1t has become increasingly diff
f1cult to secure for general use good
specimens OF the type that was the
prevailing one in New England towns
scarcely more than a generation ago.
1t has been amply demonstrated by
costly experience that weight and
strength are not the equivalents of the
which are the distinguishing character
istics Of the smaller Morgan.
ITS MANY GOOD QUALITIES.
No other American horse has shown
the same recuperative vitality, the
Sunday morning after an arduous week
Of haying. No other, in short, has so
thoroughly demonstrated it's fitness for
the responsible position OF the only
horse in the family. The Westerner
which supplanted It was fitted to draw

almost its only advantage, and strength
did not mean endurance.
Nor was It merely as a farm horse
that the Morgan was esteemed. AS a
road horse for the business and pro-
fessional man, not seeking speed pri-
marily, but willing to move along
briskly and always ready for brush
on the highway, IT was highly priced.
and as a family horse" it was unex-
celled, it's docility being an important
factor.
UNRECOGNIZED TOO LONG.
| Descending from the famous Justin
Morgan, foaled in 1893, IT was an
! important factor in developing the
/ farm horse in the East from the un-
calmly, l@evy-footed animal with
which thefSoast farmers of fifty years
ago were apparently content. Hardly
I is the development of any other means
of locomotion, the trolley or the auto
mobile, more striking than the progress
/ that has been made in improving the
character of the ordinary farm horse.
But in New England progress began
TO move in the wrong direction when
the sturdy Morgan was replaced by
the heavy but strength wasting West
erner. And it is now the aim of the
! Government to correct the error that
was made and to restore the type that
was In danger of vanishing because
/ OF a too belated recognition of its
merits.-Providence Journal.

that it is the greatest step yet made in

there will be any sudden change from

Washington, Aug. 27.-Mexico has

The smuggling of arms across the
Mexican boundary from New Mexico

and Mexico have been exerting every
effort to prevent the success of the
smugglers. Some of the arms and
ammunition taken across the border
are said to have reached the Yaqui
Indians, who have been making a
great deal Of trouble for American
miners and other foreigners as well
as for the Mexican authorities. Sew
