ally accepted limitations: 1t must be able

Esperanto Is a language with few
rules and no exceptions, no Irregular

and spelling that can be learned in one
lesson and with a small vocabulary,
many Of whose words learners already
know or can guess. Besides, It is clear,
flexible and rather sonorous. Mr..

INST U. U.

Herald.
4AKE CITY, Utah, Oct. e5.-
resent indications it is probable
1the St. Vincent's college football
IN Of Los Angeles will have small diff
sulty in beating the University of Utah
eleven in their big game at Fiesta park in
Los Angeles next Saturday.
Although Utah started out the season
with one of the strongest and fastest
teams in the west. many of the players
have been put out of commission, and
added to this is the unortunate fact that
u. U. must meet the Colorado School of
Mines here today.
The Golden Miners have record of
Gripping every team they go UP against.
They are heavy, powerful men, and such
famous players as Rush, Sill and Nor
denho,t, the old Chicago university
player, are on the G. S. M. team.
II is greatly feared that today's game
against the Miners will leave Utah uni
versity in sorry plight, with nearly all
of the best players out of cordition,
and this bodies Ill for U. U. in the game
against St. Vincent's in Los Angeles a
week hence.
The University of Utah will play the
field this afternoon. This final decision
was made by Coach Maddox, Professor
Cummings and a number of members of
the athletic council late last night, after
the matter had been discussed through
out the day and been officially called off
by the athletic board. The cry of "cold
feet" and "quitters" had reached the ears
of the university managers, and rather
than to give this impression about the
1.olw-
decision and play the game as originally
atrai ged.
This match between these two big
teams has been probability for over a
year, but the contract was not signed
until last Friday. Shortly after the
signing of the contract Coach Maddox
found that Convill and Peterson were so
seriously injured that they could not play
in this game, and the rest of the team
were in poor physical condition. He
thought that playing with the Miners
would so cripple his eleven that they
would not be in shape for the rest of the
season, so he wired them that the game
was off. Yesterday afternoon the mat
ter was brought before the athletic coun-
Gil and they took the same view as Mad
dock.
At this the cry of gutter arose and the
public sentiment against the calling off
of the game had been growing, so the
coach said he would play the game If 1t
were the last one that the team would
play this season.
In the Miners Utah will meet what is
probably the strongest team in the Rocky
mountain region today, and a team that
the east benchers have never downed. 1t
is the only team In Colorado that Mad
decks men have not beaten, although
last years comparative scores put Utah
in the same class as Golden. The Miners
have one of the best backfields in the
west and their line holds some of the best
players in this part of the country. Their
speed is demonstrated by the showing
made against the University of Wyoming
last Saturday, when they piled up II
points against the Laramie men in two
twenty-mipute halves.

U. S. ARMY is TO HAVE
DIRIGIBLE BALLOON
War Department Decides on construc-
ton of First of Aerial Fleet.
ltWiII Cost About
100000

WASHINGTON, Oct. e5.-The war de-
partment has decided to construct its
first dirigible balloon, the contract for
which Is to be awarded within lne next
thirty days. The balloon will equal, If
not surpass, anything which the French
or Germans have yet produced, and
will not only bring into service all the
inventions which have come from
abroad but will have several added
contrivances which are being kept
secret.
The balloon will be about 100 feet in
length, with a capacity of $4,000 cubic
feet; will have two 100 horse power
French engines, and is calculated to
make thirty five miles an hour. 1t Will
cost the government 100000.
No definite date has been given out
as to when construction on the balloon
is to be begun, and many of the details
are withheld from the public, as the
policy of the war department is to keep
the details as secret as possible until
the balloon is completed. 1t has been
learned, however, that the latest de-
vices invented by foreign nations have
been closely watched by the war de-
partment and that, the balloon is to be
constructed under the supervision OF a
manufacturer who has helped to built
the latest models abroad and who un-
derstands every phase of the latest type
of dirigible balloons.
1t is explained today that the classe
of instruction now being formed by the
signal corps and the awarding of con-
tracts for additional balloon stations
are in anticipation of the construction
of dirigibles by the United States gov
ernment. Reports of the positive value
of military balloons in warfare have
spurred the war department to this
action.
Leo Stevens, well known authority
on balloons, when asked about the gov
ernments proposed contract for large
dirigible balloon said that he wished to
say nothing about the matter.
A successful ascension was made here
today. Captain Chandler of the war
signal corps and Mr.. Mccoy, a well
known balloon expert of New York,
started out at about noon and after
being in the air two hours descended
fourteen miles east of Washington.
weather conditions were not favorable
but they attained an altitude of more
than 1000 feet and altogether the as
Icension was a. success.

STEAMER EMPRESS
OF CHINA FLOATED
SUNKEN LINER RAISED AND WILL
SAIL OCTOBER %
Canadian Paciflc's Fine Vessel Is Suc-
cessfuIIy Pulled UP from Mud
In Which It Sank at
Vancouver

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 25.--The Mer-
chants exchange has received dispatch
from Vancouver, B. c., stating that the
Canadian Pacific Railroad company's s
steamer Empress of China, which sunk
at her dock Wednesday night, was doated
today and will sail for the orient Octo-
ber 2S.
An old time coasting officer now in Los
Angeles, discussing the sinking of the
Empress of China Wednesday. said:
THE incident recalls the case of the
Pacific coast steamer Queen, now plying
between Seattle and San Francisco, but
then newly built and on the San Fran
cisco-San Diego run in the command of
Capt. Alexander, who now has the Santa
Rosa on the same run.
"She was loaded in San Francisco and
put to sea. When off Point Sur bound for
Port Hartford the engineer reported water
over the fire floor. An inspection was
made and 1t was found the lower hold
was full of water gaining rapidly Capt.
Alexander kept the facts from passengers
and ordered all possible speed to Port
Hartford, los miles distant.
Sinks at Pier
cat a. m. the light at Port Hartford
was made and Capt. Alexander ran his
ship ashore alongside the pier as she
was about to sink.
when examination was made it was
found that "a port hole on the freight
deck line had been left open and the in
flow of water was so slow that it was
not noticed till she was well on her way.
THE sides of al iron or steel ships are
pierced on The level of the freight decks
with many small port holes, which are
closed and screwed up as the ships
draught requires. When she is loaded
to her bearings these ports are under
water. Lax management gives oppor-
tunity for anyone seeking revenge to
leave one or more of them on one thread
of the locking screw, so the ordinary
pressure of water would burst 1t in.
in the case of the Empress of China
she was at the dock and work for the
day was ended. No one but dock
watchman, and quartermaster at the
gangway were on duty, and the leaving
of a port open would flood the ship till
she was past salvage before 1t could be
known.
s'It is not stretching imagination to
believe that some disgruntled longshore-
man. in anger at the fact that this ship
and others in the same line brought hun
dreds of coolies to flood the local labor
market. took the matter of revenge In
his own hands and purposely left port
open.
"It is now believed that the steam
ship City of Topeka Of the Pacific coast
line was sunk at her dock in Seattle in
October, 1906, in this way. When she
was raised and docked it was found a
port had been left open.
r-pThs sinking of Pacific Mail liner
recently at the dock in San francisco
was of a totally different nature and was
caused by too great a weight being load
ed on her upper decks before she had
sufficient weight in her hold to keep
her up."

PENDING TREATY FIXES
TITLE TO RICH LANDS
Courts Called Upon to Settle Dispute
Between United States and
Republic of Mex VA

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 25.-One OF
the knottiest questions between the
United States and Mexico, though not
serious one or one that could possi-
bly, lead to complications between the
two governments, Is contained in q
treaty that is now pending and Is under
consideration between the Mexican en-
bassy at Washington and the American
state department, affecting the title to
an immense strip of land along the Rio
Grande river. The question Is one
which could not be settled locally and
the two governments have taken it ur
with view to determining whether OF
rot the strip or strips in question lie
within the boundaries of this country
or the republic to the north,S and
whether 1t Is under the jurisdiction OF
the Mexican or the United States gov
ernment. The details of the treaty
have not been settled as yet.
The following dispatch from San An
tonic, Texas, gives an idea of the value
of the land involved in one section
probably that portion of the disputed
territory known as the Chamisal dis
trict:
Judge T. s. Maxey, Clerk D. H. Hart
and Marshal Eugene Nolte left for E.

United States court in that city.

through which the river flows.
"In this strip of land approximately
5000 of the citizens of El Paso reside
and large part of the business section
of the town is located therein.
1.-THE Mexican government claims the
land through the Hodalgo treaty This
treaty states that the boundary between
Texas and Mexico was to remain where
the river channel then flowed. and If the
channel changed the property lying be-
tween the new and the old channels was
to belong to whichever nation it was
cut from.
1.-THE present course of the river runs
approximately one mile north from wher,
the channel is said to have been at the
time the treaty was made.
1.-THE case came up for trial in the last
term of the federal court sitting at E.
Paso, but on request of the department
of state and the department of justice
Judge Maxey set the case for the ensuing
term in order to give the international
boundary commission time to act on the
question. The commission has never act
ed, however, and 1t is considered probable
that the case win be tried at the October
term.
"If Judgment is given the Texas &
Pacific railroad 1t will mean that the
territory lying between the old and the
present channels belongs to the citizens
of the United States, while II Justo Me-
lendez and others interested with him
win, 1t will mean that the territory is
the property of the citizens OF Mexico,
and the 5000 citizens who own property
there now under the government of the
United States will lose all claim to the
land"
