President ROOseVeitS proclamation of
the day before was perfectly satisfac-
tory TO the finance committee. lie
stated that the effort being made was
to centralize. the control OF the fund
in the hands of one bOdV. Governor
Pardee then turned over to MIN con-
troll of such contributions as had been
sent directly to the governor. and Gen
eral Funston also formally surrendered
the $500 remaining unused of the
$4,000 contribut on by the Guggenheim
interests. This fund was wired di-
rectly TO General Funston with direc-
tons to use it according to his own
best judgment, and the general eX-
planned to the committee the manner
in which he had used it. These ex-
penditUres were approved by the COM
mittee. Thus control of the entire re
lief fund is now in the hands o. the
finance committee of the relief and
Red Cross funds.
The Rev. DIR. Baker Of Oakland was
made a member of the finance COM

PANIC ABOARD THE VESSEL
NAVIGATION DANGEROUS ON PA

San Francisco, April 26.-The steam
er Buchanan of the Alaska line, in
command of Captain z. B. Wood. ar
rived here late last night with volun-
teer physicians, Red Cross nurses and
a cargo of 2,200 tons Of provisions and
supplies for the homeless people of this
city. The vessel made a record run
from Tacoma, but encountered ter
rife sea off Capt Blanco, which the
crew and passengers believe was
caused by subterranean eruptions
and for a time threatened to engulf
the staunch ship on its errand Of
mercy.
The Buchanan was sent to San Fran
cisco by the Chambers Of Commerce
of Seattle and Tacoma to carry relief
to this stricken city. A large sum of
money was raised by the two northern
settles and no ship was ever loaded and
put out of a Pacific coast port in so
short a time as was the Buchanan.

Record Time in Loading.

The loading of the steamer for the
relief of the homeless and destitute of
this city was one of the quickest on
record on this coast. Hundreds of will
ing hands assisted in getting the ship
ready for her voyage, and thousands
cheered. her as she cast loose the lines
The work of loading the vessel was
done by the stevedores of Seattle who
volunteered their services and worked
day and night in three shifts. The
Alaska Pacific company donated the
use of the steamer. Besides the tons
of food which the Buchanan had. three
physicians and five Red Cross nurses
who have volunteered their services in

WATERLOO.
Grouchy Was Solely to Blame Fa-
the Downfall OF Napoleon.

the bo"hAI4i ol NupOkGO.is
Napoleon would have won the battle
OF Waterloo had Grouchy prevented
the junction of the Prussians with the
English army, because he would not
have had to fight two battles at once.
Few persons realize that the so called
battle of Waterloo was in reality q
double battle somewhat like Jena and
Auerstadt. Napoleon fought one bat
tie at Waterloo against the English.
On the arrival of the Prussians he was
forced to so in person toward blanche
mott and there fight another battle
against the Prussian army, leaving to
Ney the conduct of the troops at Wa
terloo. 1t is well known maxim in
war that a very great or decisive vic
tory cannot be gained unless one com
mander makes a serious blunder of
which the other takes immediate adj
vantage. 1t is very evident that the
fact of the emperor having to fight
two battles at once instead of concen-
trating his attention on one alone enor-
mously Increased the possibility of a
mistake. Moreover, Napoleon did not
have the able lieutenants of his former
campaigns Desaix, Kleber, Lannes
and Bessieres We're dead. Massena and
Macdonald had taken the oath Of ale
glance to the Bourbons. and Murat had
split with the emperor. Napoleon's
personal attention was therefore i'm
perative. To Grouchy alone all blame
must be attributed, fer had he prevent
ed the union of the Prussians with the
English the emperor would have had
to fight only one battle at a time ard
could have given his entire personal
attention to that one battle.
In the second place, Napoleon would
not have been forced to fight with IL
BAT men against two armies numbering
about 12o,000-nearly two to one
against him. He would have had IT,
941 good soldiers pftted against Il raw
undisciplined army of G7,661 men un-
der the Duke of Wellington, which was
not only inferior in mere numbers. but
far inferior in morale and experience.
The chances would have been greatly
in favor of the French. Then. too, the
French army was commanded by the
acknowledged master of modern war
fare, whose brilliant successes at Ri
vol. Marengo. Austerlitz, Jena. Fried
land. Wagram. the Borodino and Ores

til then Napoleon had never been de-

strong in their confidence of the en-
perors success. Two Of the best writ
ers on the Waterloo campaign. Shaw

men. concur in saying that had Grouchy

army would have been badly beaten.

An active milliner at the age of Sc
years and having been constantly in
the business since 1Si0-such is the
record of Mrs. Sarah A. Tiff Davis.
In her little store room on North It'll
street near Main, Mrs. Davis can be
seen each day. ever ready to attend
to the wants of her customers. AL
though her trade is not as heavy as
during the period between 1910 and
1880, Mrs Davis still makes hats for
many persons, who knew her when
she was the leading trimmer in this
part of the state and are still willing
TO trust the design and trimmings on
their bonnets to her.
Mrs. Davis, perhaps, is not as mod
ern in some of her styles as many
younger milliners, yet her eye sight
is still good and. her work is as neat
and thorough as ever. She says that
she has nearly as good eye sight now
as she had years ago. The class of
work in which she has been engaged
is most trying on the eyes and one
would think that she would be nearly
blind by this time, but instead she
has use for glasses only in doing
close work. Mrs. Davis is very
cheerful and in her conversation there
is not the least bit of pessimism- She
says that she will probably continue
in the millinery business as long as
she is able. She likes the work and
says that now, her shop serves as
place for friends to gather when they
are down town, and there the leading
aged women of the city talk over the
times, before, during and after the
war.

ed in business in Richmond although
she was born at Oxford. Ohio. She
has been at one stand for over thirty
years. Several times during her long
career as a milliner. Mrs. Davis was
the only hat trimmer in Richmond
and this vicinity. In her .balmy
days" she employed many trimmers
and her shop really set the styles in
Eastern Indiana. Nearly all the
Richmond brides of the earlier days
wore hats at their weddings made by
Mrs. Davis. Wives of many promi-
uent men, of the old school were con-
slant patrons of her shop.
The change in styles, the peculiari-
ties of trade and other points per-
tanning to her business are interest
ingly discussed by Mrs. Davis. She
has a wise philosophy regarding the
tastes of different periods. She
thinks that people always have lived
up to their times. During the peri
cd just preceding and after the war,
Mrs. Davis was engaged principally in
making and trimming bonnets. She
says that occasionally hat was worn
then, but only on some great occa-
sion. She says that during her early
days a milliners main skill had to be
the ability to reshape straw bonnets.
In those times women bought expen-
sive bonnets, made of Leghorn and
English straws, and each year they
would have the bonnet made a differ
ent shape. Fine trimmings, howev-
er, were used, mostly of ribbons. Mrs.
Davis formerly had much work of the
Quakers, of whom there were many
in the period from 1910 to 1870. They
had many fine silk bonnets made.

In the absence of constitutional au-

nearest approach to popular election of
senators that can be obtained without

This is the plan of voting at the
primaries for the party nominees for
senate seats. By this system the sena-
tors are elected by the legislatures ac-
cording TO the method provided in the
constitution. but the party majorities
in these bodies are expected to respect
the will OF the rank and file as ex-
