Brutality at the White House.

Mrs. Minor Morris, q lady OF educa-
ton, culture and refine ment, was
forcibly dragged from the waiting.
room in the White House, in Wash.
ton, one day last week, where she had
called to consult the President in
behalf of her husband who had been
dismissed from the army for a quarrel
leading to an assault upon a hospital
employe. She was told by Assistant
Secretary Barnes that the President
was engaged" and could not see her.
She replied that she would wait, and
was told that che must 60. She re.
monstrated, and Barnes gave an order
to two burly policeman and a negro,
who seized and dragged her through
tho water and mud on the concrete
sidewalks. her clothes torn, her jewelry
scattered aud the contents of her
pOcket-book strewn on the ground.
When the van arrived she was roughly
thrust into it and driven to the House
Of Detention, where she broke down
in violent hysterical state. After an
hour or 80 she was allowed TO depart,
and was driven to the new Willard
Hotel where she has been stopping the
past six weeks. Mrs Morris is q sister

OF this disgraceful treatment at the bed
side of his dying mother in Ohio. As
usual in such cases. the responsibility
for the brutality will probably fall
upon the shoulders OF meniAls, but
the matter should not be allowed to
rest without condign punishment for
their objectionable treatment of an
estimable woman, and even had she not
possessed a refined nature, the offense
against propriety and decency could
scarcely be less.

LEGITIMATE USES OF ALCOHOL
Some Relief Is Asked from Congress By Way Of
Tariff Changes.
ED. STANDARDS:

ED. STANDARD:
There is bill before Congress which
bears directly upon the welfare of the
farmer, as we'll as others, in the re.
moval of tho tariff (internal Ievenue)
from alcohol to be used in mechanics
and sciences. At present, although
alcohol is capable of being used in
numerous ways, such as fuel for light.
ing and heating, for power in auto
mobiles, launches and farm engines,
yet it is so costly, thanks to the tax
upon it, that it is too expensive for any
Of these purposes.
By removing the tax upon such
alcohol, which is rendered unfit for
use by mixing with it wood-alcohol,
sulphuric ether, or any other material
which while making it q deadly poison
yet does not injure its combustion or
use in the arts and sciences, we en-.
large the uses OF it by bringing the
cost down to reasonable amount and
cheaper many things which require
alcohol in it's manufacture, such as
celluloid, smokeless powder, varnish,
Photographic films, derby hats and
transparent soap.
As alcohol came to be used more
extensively there would exist greater
demand for it, distilleries would spring
up here and there and make Q market
for our surplus potatoes. corn, wheat
etc., thereby helping to keep up the
price and making US a home market
for such produce.
A cheap alcohol would give US an
ideal fuel for our small engines and
for lighting our homes.
In Germany it is made and sold fol
from thirteen to twenty-one cents pei
gallon, according to test and so il
much cheaper than gasoline besides
bsing 80 much pleasanter and safer te
handle.
The Grange, as an organization, il
pushing this bill, and in Washington
Mr.. c. b. Kegley, of Pullman, is urging
the signing and sending OF petitions
to Congress urging the passing of che
bill. Petition blanks may be had BY
addressing him. All interested are
urged to sign petitions and send in.

EARTHQUAKE HORRORS
Dead in Valparaiso Put at 1000 and
Scores of Cities and Towns Are
Reported Destroyed

London-Famine and suffering from
exposure now hold in their grasp the
cities and villages wrecked in the
South American earthquake. Cables
from Valparaiso, Santiago, and points
in Peru and Argentina show that star
walton, cold, want and terrible hard
ships have followed in the train of the
appalling disaster of last Thursday.
Ample corroboratiOn has been re-
ceived here of the accounts already
printed of the ruin caused by the
earthquake and it is now known def
nitely that scores of cities, fowls and
villages have been totally or partly
destroyed. The death roll will reach
into the thousands, while hundreds of
men, women and children among the
survivors have been manned and in
jured. The monetary loss will amount
to hundreds of millions of dollars.
OF the places devastated Valparai-
so has been much the heaviest suffer
er and the conditions now being en-
dured there are comparable only to
the situation after the San Francisco
disaster. Gables from the Chilean
seaport place the less of life at 1000,
while it is estimated that $3.50, 100000
in property has been wiped out. Sixty
per cent of the city has been demol-
ished
Lack of food, water, clothing, blan-
kets, tents and medical supplies pre-
walls in Valparaiso and the suffer
ing among the 100000 or more des-
titute and homeless citizens is de-
clared to be indescribable. The sur
vivors in the other devastated towns
are facing the same suffering as pre-
walls in Valparaiso, while cablegrams
from Santiago, the capital, state that
large numbers of the poorer classes
there are without sufficient food and
shelter.
In Valparaiso almost the entire sur
viving population is encamped in the
open, such tents and other shelters
as were available having been erect
ed on the near by hills, in the city
parks and even among the debris In
the streets. There are not nearly
enough tents to meet the demands,
while time or materials to build other
suitable protection has been lacking.
Hundreds of men, women and chill
dren are thus living in the open air,
with no covering save insufficient
quantities of clothing and blankets.
The weather, especially at night, has
been excessively raw and windy, and
thus far the ,kcenest suffering has
been caused by cold.
Famine, however now stares Val
paraiso in the face. Food is becom-
ing extremely scarce and the water
supply is running short. Unless as
sistance in the form of tremendous
quantities of supplies reaches the
stricken city soon the death list is
likely to be much increased.
Meat is almost unobtainable at any
price, while milk costs two Chilean
dollars litre and is excessively hard
