When 1t is known that it takes ten aver
age sockeyes to make case of the packed
article, 1t will be seen that in the last six
years the canneries Of Puget sound have
killed and preserved almost twenty-eight
million fish. On the Fraser river the
Canadian fishermen have packed about the
same number in the corresponding period
This makes fifty-six million fish put into
cans in six years. Figuring an almost
equal number wasted, the grand total of
sockeyeS killed is enormous.
So far neither the Canadian government
nor the United States has succeeded in
making laws that adequately protect the
sockeye. There is a law in existence now
that makes it unlawful to fish from Sat
urday night until Monday morning. This
law Is, in almost every instance, ignored
But even If observed. the fishermen of the
Fraser run far up the river land when the
hour comes for opening fishing they are
prepared to intercept the fish that have
succeeded in getting from the ocean into

Women Wage Farmers.

Two young Boston women, students
at the University Of Chicago, have set
before themselves the difficult task Of
investigating the problems presented
by the gainful employment of women
In the United States. So far as the
results of their inquiry have been
made available In the pages Of the
Journal of Political Economy, they
are confined to an analysis of the facts
to be deduced from the census re-
ports; but some of these results are
so interesting that the student of So
2ial economics will await the compile.

Feminine competition with men is
a subject on which it has been the
fashion to dogmatize freely, but the
actual material on which to base eX-

new INDICTMENT

Rock Rapids, April 20.-Charles
Rocker, who was once convicted of
numbering August Schroeder, a
wealthy farmer near here. but was
laler freed by the Iowa supreme
court, has been indicted for the crime
again. The alleged crime was com
mitted in July, 1900.
Schroeder was wealthy German
farmer of Lyon county and was found
hanging in his barn. For a time 1t
was thought tat he had committed
suicide but later evidence was found
that indicated Schroeder had been
murdered.
Rocker was employed as a farm
hand by Schroeder at the time. Later
he married Mrs. Schroeder. After
the lapse of many months he was in
dicted for having murdered Schroeder

widow and secure the Schroeder for.

Part of the evidence against Rocker
was given by man who claimed TO
have heard Rocker relate CHASTITY

The Iowa supreme court held that
this evidence should not nave been
admitted

new and important evidence against

FIRE ONCE MOTE
THREATENS The CITY

Oakland, Cal, April ga report
reached here at midnight that brisk
fire is burning in South San Francis
CO. The Illumination could be seen
from this side of the bay, a distance
Of eight miles. 1t is believed that the
fire broke out afresh from smolder-
ing emebrs carried by the breeze.
San Francisco, April 23.-Two
hundred bodies found in the Photrero
district south of Shannon street, near
the Union Iron WORKS, were cremated
at the Six Mile house by order of Cor.
oner Walsh. Some of the dead were
the victims of falling buildings, some
were killed in the fire, but it is be-
lieved by the board Of health that the
majority died Of ptomaine poisoning.
So many dead were found in this area
that cremation was deemed necessary
to prevent disease. In the majority OF
cases Identification was impossible.
Sacramento, Cal, April 23.-Santa
Rosa, in proportion to its size, suf.
fered worse than San Francisco. The
list of dead from Santa Rosa numbers
about sixty but great number of
persons are missing and still great
er number are more or less seriously
wounded. The business part CT the
town is in ruins from quake and fire
A relief organization has the situI
ton we'll in hand. The town will be
rebuilt.

BUSSE IS GRANTED
A SHORT REPRIEVE

Des Moines, April 20.-Louis Busse,
who was to have been executed al
G o'clock this morning at Anamosa,
has been reprieved until his attorneys
can prosecute the final appeal in the
supreme court, and will be hanged on
Aug. 10 unless the court intervenes.
When it was SHOWN the governor
that the attorneys for Busse enter.
tanned seriously an idea that Busse
had been illegally convicted and ex.
pected to convince the supreme court
of the fact, he believed it his duty
to postpone the execution until the
matter could lie presented on appeal.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that the
appeal has been undertaken with a
view to getting it in the September
term of court. But it is the opinion
of the governor that the supreme
court will consent to advance the case
that it may be disposed of at once.
For this reason he fixed the date OF
the execution at only three months
ahead
The theory of the attorneys of Busse
is that the indictment on which he was
convicted of numbering his wife was
invalid and illegal. 1t was returned by
six members of grand jury instead
Of seven. The attorney general anu
j. H. Scales appeared for the state 10
argue yesterday that this did not raise
a question relating to jurisdiction and
could not be brought forward in the
habeas corpus proceedings which have
been begun. L. A. Dawson appeared
for Busse and argued for extension t1
the time of execution to allow the
question again to be presented to the
supreme court.
The governor said that while the
crime which Busse had committed was
perhaps the most atrocious he knew
about and he had refused communication
of sentence on that account, he real.
lied that it was not the province of
the executive to deny any right to the
defendant which he might think HIM.
self entitled to in the courts. If
mistake were to be made it could not
be rectified. Hence the postponement.

MATT HUNTER IS
ADJUDGED INSANE

Fort Madison, April 1S.--Matt
Hunter at last succumbed to idleness
and solitary cor finement. He has
been adjudged insane and viii be
sent from Fort Madison to the prison
for the insane at Anamosa.
Hunter refused TO work. He was
sent to -'ort Madison about five years
ago for the murder of Homer Holland
at Mount Ayr. His sentence required
him to work at hard labor. He re-
fused. Under the statute the man
who refuses to serve his sentence as
pronounced may be confined alone and
deprived OF reading material. This
was done TO Hunter. He was well
fed, but he has lived alone in id.eness
ever since he entered the prison
walls.
Only once did he weaken. He
offered to work in the tailor shop. He
worked half day and quit, prefer
ring to return to his solitary cell and
a life OF loneliness and nopelessness.
For 1t should be understood that
the law provides also that when a
prisoner elects not to obey his sel.'
tence and the prison rules he loses
all his time. Matt Hunter was SEN
fenced five years ago, but has served
but a day or two of has sentence.
His stubbornness did not weaken,
but his mind gave way and ne goes to
the insane hospital at Anamosa.
When he RECEIVERS he will be taken
back to Fort Madison to begin again
either to serve his sentence or to con.
tinue his life in the solitary cell.

A. G. Ross, Pub.
Much Needed Law.

After an agitation that finally won
to its support all but the owners and
breeders of coach shorses and those
that slayishly follow fashion the New
York legislature has passed by very
large majority a bill to prohibit the
docking of horses tails and the i'm
portation into the state of horses thus
mutilated. The New York Evening
Mail says: There is no question Of
the merit and need of such a law.
The docking of a horses tail is a
senseless abasement of Gods noblest
four-footed creature. 1t is repulsive
as well as a cruel outrage upon an
animal which repays brutality with
gentleness and good service. A fire.
quent argument against an anti-dock-
ing bill has been the assumption that
1t would only serve to penalize breed
ers in this state, since purchasers
would buy their horses outside the
state and bring them in. The bill
passed by the assembly the other day
forbids the importation of locked
horses. So far as the constitutional
ty of such a provision goes, it need
only be said that If the state may
prohibit the importation of harmless
0leomargarine and of lawfully killed
game birds, it must certainly possess
the power to shut out MANNED beasts
Another argument against the law
has been that a spirited horse may be-
come impossible to control II he IS
able to throw his tail over the reins.
In answer to this claim it is only
accessory to say that spirited horses
should only be driven by competent
drivers, and that a good driver does
aot allow the reins to get out Of his
control"

COLEAX HOTEL
IS DESTROYED
Two Hundred Guests Have
Narrow Escape at
Monte Colfax
FIRE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING
Loss Will Be $4,000 with S25, 900
insurance-Noted Hotel at Colfax
Is Destroyed But viii Be Rebuilt
At Once.

Colfax, April 23.-While the 200
guests were dressing and at breakfast
yesterday morning, flames were dis
covered on the roof of the Monte Col
fax and, in spite Of the efforts of the
volunteer fire department, the big ho-
tel building was entirely destroyed.
The loss is estimated at about sac, 900
with insurance at $4,000.
The fire started in the attic and the
origin is mystery. The flames were
first discovered at 1880 O'Clock and
the alarm was Immediately given. The
fire spread rapidly and many OF the
guests in the upper floors OF the hote
had just time to escape themselves,
leaving their property to the mercy of
the fire. After the guests were safely
out of the building an effort was made
10 save the furniture but all that was
on the second and third floors was
destroyed, the furniture i'll the base
ment and second floor, however, was
removed in time.
A high wind was blowing and it
was feared for some time that other
buildings in the vicinity of the Monte
Colfax would fa,l victim to the flames.
sparks rained around the Victoria and
the volunteer hremen were forced to
turn their attention to this building
to save it. A shed belonging to the
Victoria was burned and barn be-
longing to ID. r. Crowel was also de-
stroyed, the loss not exceeding 500,
however.
The Monte Colfax, we'll known
throughout the country as Fry's hotel,
was three story frame building. 1t
was insured for $4,000, $4,000 being
insurance on the contents and tue re-
mainder on the building itself.
L. w. McNear proprietor Of the
Monte Colfax says the building will,
be rebuilt at once and tnaC a modern
hotel will take the place of the former
building.
The total number of bodies re-
covered and buried up to Sunday
night is said to be 500. No complete
record can be had, as many bodies
have been buried without permits.
Searchers found only score of bodies
yesterday. They were buried immed
lately. Few of these bodies could be
identified, and the graves were mark
ed by numbers.
It is impossible to obtain any sort
of death list or even to make an e.
innate of the number of casualties.
The health of the thousands camped
In the open air is remarkably good
There have been several cases of
pneumonia reported and colds are
common, but there is nothing like an
epidemic. The board of health re-
ports little contagious disease.
Vigorous measures are taken by the
board of health and the board OF pu~
lie works to improve the sanitary con
ditions throughout the city. Sanitary
conditions in general are not as yet a
menace to health.

tives yesterday covered the burned
