Cumberland, Md. Oct 1.-THE

ploring the lynehing of Burns. who

ments. So great was this offense
against law and order that Il IN the
future the guilty parties become
known they should be brought before
this court. where hey viii meet the
punishment that law and Justice de-
mand.
Notwithstanding that the crime
with which Burns was charged was
great. nevertheless, the grand jury
greatly regrets that 1t aroused spirit
In the minds OF our peope as TO cause
them to perpetrate such grievous
crime against law and order, which is
the first in the history OF our city.
Our people have heretofore been not.
ed for disposition to uphold the
law and allow its administration In
the usual prompt and ordinary way
with which il has always been admin
istered in this court
Your Honor specially referred to
the liquor traffic in your charge to us
upon the opening of this term of
court Much of our time this session
has been taken up with investiga-
tions of the violation OF the liquor
law 1t is manifest that there Is a
class of people engaged in the liquor
traffic that abuse their license and
seem only to care that they can save
/ themselves from being indicted. The
grand jury would recommend and
urge upon onr representatives In tire
approaching session OF the legislature
and also upon all persons interested
m law and order in our county. TO
agree upon some measure by which
our liquor laws can be amended so as
to give greater protection TO all those
who desire law aud order. AS sug-
gestion, we believe that the court
should be invested with large discre-
tionary powers in granting or reject
ing application for license
The grand jury would relterate
the recommendation In the report OF
a former grand jury that suitable pro-
visions be made at the Jail for the
better accommodations OF those per
$ MS who are held merely as wit
nesses in pending cases, so as to
avoid the necessity OF combining
them in the same apartments as those
inmates charged with crime. We also
recommend that some provision be
made whereby the youths retained in
Jail may be relieved from associatlns
with the older aud hardened Grim
inals."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The senate
committee on public lands has favor
ably reported Senator Carter's Black

time ago. His measure provided for

Indian bitches on the reservation,
making the money re.imbursable to
the government from the sales of ex-
cess Indian lands.
The senate committee struck u all
matters affecting water rights on the
Belknap and Fort Peck reservations
and inserted practically every feature
of Dixon's bill which had been left out
Of Clark's bill.

President Favors Ship Subsidy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The presi.
dent sent a message to congress this
afternoon recommending ship subsidy
legislation and commenting upon the
great d%esirability of enacting laws to
aid American shipping.
European powers, he said, recog-
nized the need of similar action and
are aiding their steamship companies
to establish and maintain trade. In
order to maintain the present wage OF
the American seamen he says it is i'm.
perative that ship subsidy legislation
be passed.
The bill the president favors pro.
vides for IA steamships on the Allan.

the Pacific for 81. 250, OOO. He closes

The CalOric Paradox.

Freezing is usually associated with
cold. but water can be frozen on a red
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the caloric para
dOX. If Il drop of water is placed on 4
re.dhOt or white hot metal plate it
does not suddenly flash into steam UNI
der the influence of the great heat. 1t
does not even boil. 1t simply evapo-
rates quietly and slowly as it rolls
about the plate. Now. suppose that
the drop on the plate is a volatile liq-
uid like %sulphurous acid. 1t will evap-
crate, and this evaporation will pro-
duce cold. Let Il drop Of water fall
In the sulphurous acid drop, and it will
be frozen in spite of the heat. NJ. Bou-
tigny thus froze water OH a white hot
platinum capsule. Faraday carried
this remarkable experiment ven fur
Their. Pouring some ether and solidi-
fed carbonic acid gas on a redhot plat
mum capsule, he formed a %spheroidal
mass which e%vaporated very slow
". He then brought some mercury
into contact with 1t, and this was in
stantly frozen. Now. mercury requires
a temperature Of 40 degrees below zero
to solidify it. and here it was frozen on
redhot platinum.

Stock Issue Held Up.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 23.-In the Ramsey
county court today Judge Oscar Hal.
lam signed an order enjoining the Of.
icials of the Great Northern railroad
from making the proposed increase of
$780, 600, 900 worth of additional stock
of that company or issuing the same
or a part thereof during 1.-THE pending
litigation without fret making an ap.
plication in writing therefor to the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission and securing its approval
thereof, as provided by Section 1872
of the revised laws OF 1905.
This is a victory thus far for the
state in the action brought last month
by Attorney General Young to compel
the railroad to recognize the state
railroad aud warehouse commission
before issuing the stock, as the lave
provide that before a railroad can is.
sue an increase OF its capital stock it
must make apple alton to the railroad
commission and make q showing OF
the necessity for such an issue. The
Great Northern claimed under its
original charter it could issue stock
at will and that the law granting this
power to the railroad and warehouse
commission was unconstitutional.

More Pay For Congressman.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The senate
accepted the proposition of the house
of representatives to increase the SAL
aries of senator's, members and terri
torial delegates to $500 annually and
those of the vice president, the speaker
of the house and members of the presi.
dents cabinet t o 1000. This action
was made by a vote of 50 to q and
followed a discussion of nearly three
hours.
An amendment, confirming the in.
crease to cabinet officers and the pres.
ent officers of the senate and house,
was voted down, as was also a propo-
sition to postponed the increase until
1913.
Senator Nelson offered the amend
ment confirming the increase to the
vice president, the speaker and cabi.
net officers and spoke in support of it.
He said:
1--WE, as legislators, are today paid
higher salaries than Legislators OF any
other country"
Mr.. Nelson gave figures showing the
salaries paid to Legislators in Euro
pean countries, and continuing his
argument, spoke with resentment OF
the idea that Legislators are hired as
laborers, for a salary. This was a
post of honor and pay enough to live
moderately was enough.
