ORDERS HIGH LIFE CUT OUT

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-The kaiser's re-
peated efforts to repress sybartism
among German military officers seem
to have little effect, and his majesty
is credited with having Used fresh
orders that they abandon their lux
urious mode of life. The emperor
messed lately with the officers of a
smart lancer regiment at Potsdam,
who thought they would honor their
imperial guest by sumptuous display
of delicacies and wines including a
variety of cOstliest French cham
pagnes. Subsequently the Kaiser is

stopped, and directing that even when
he was the guest of officers of the
regiment, the menu be limited to
soup, fish vegetables, joint butter
and cheese, with only one kind of red
or white wine, punch and a single
glass of champagne There must be
no liquors nor other after-dinner bev-

This is the question which medical
experts in this city put to themselves
when they read the cable dispatches
from London in which physician was
credited with characterizing sealing
wax factories and candy factories as
the finest health resorts imaginable
In the same cabled classic appear the
declarations that children should be
taught. to like sugar" 1t would do
away with the vast army of consump-
tives and degenerates. Every person
ought to eat at least twenty Jumps OF
sugar daily"
DR.. John S. Billings, Jr., in charge
of the consumptive wing OF the de-
partment of health, sounded the note
of objection when he said today.
II believe that the medical profess
sion in this country will disagree with
the London doctor. A diet of fats with
as little of sugar and starches as pos
sible is the best for consumptives."
DIR. James A. Miller of $50 Park av-

to consumption, characterized the Lon

Would Rob Washington
and Create a New State

SPOKANE, Jan. 16.-Preliminary
plans are making to create a new
state in the northwest by taking 26
counties, or $50 miles of territory in
eastern Washington, northeastern
Oregon and northern Idaho, with a
population of 100000, and at present
sessions of the three legislatures,
measures will be introduced with the
view of bringing this about. The new
state, to be named Lincoln, will be
bounded by the Cascade mountains
on the west, the international line on
the north, the Bitter Root mountains
on the east and the Blue mountains on
south.
Prominent residents of Spokane and
the cities of eastern Oregon and north
ern Idaho, back of the project, say the
movement has the unanimous support
of the senators and representatives
of the 26 counties it is sought to sep
arate from the trio of states, and
while vigorous opposition is certain to
come from western Washington
Southeastern Oregon and southern
Idaho, sufficient pressure can be
brought to bear, they believe, to force
the question to an issue at the polls.
Supposed Advantage.
This is to be said in favor of the
creation of the new state: Unity of in
terests in numbering. mining, agricul-
INV 6oi hn oil Of
sectional jealousy; legislation to the
best interests of the various indus.
tries: economy in various expenses,
including that of state mileage, and
the natural advantages resulting from
altered geographical position.
Samuel R. Stern of Spokane, who
with others in eastern Washington is
identified with the movement, said in
the course of statement:
"A glance at the map will show
there is ample territory in each of the
three states which can readily be
taken from them to make a new com
monwealth and yet leave states of a
large area and population.
"One thing is. we would not be at
the mercy of the state Legislature
which is inimical to the interests OF
eastern Washington. The question OF
politics need not enter into this bat
tie for self preservation. 1t is not a
political matter, but movement en-
tirely of a common interest in com
mon state and for a common good.
Relatively the same differences ex
list between northern and southern
Idaho and eastern and western Oregon
as are so apparent between eastern
and western Washington and the for
nation of a new state will adjust prac
..cally all these conflicting interests

Pays Freight to Relieve Northwest
Fuel Famine
COST HIM ss2,5oo TO GET CARS
MAGNATE'S PHlLAN
THRoPY MAY HAVE BEEN IN
sPIRED sY INVESTIGATION.

CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-The Hartman
lines are paying $32,5OO freight" on
cars in order to get them from the east
into the coalfields of Illinois, where
they can be loaded with coal for the
west.
The extreme and unusual methods
was adopted by the officials here after
a wire consultation with E. H. Har-
riman, who gave his consent to the
expenditure necessary to relieve coal
shortage in several portions west, es-
pecially in Kansas and Nebraska.
Added to the loss in paying freight
on these cars, the Hartman system
will lose at least $4,000 revenue-and
possibly three times that amount
which they would have obtained had
they permitted their cars to be loaded
in the east with merchandise or coal
for territory about Chicago.
AS a result of this sacrifice of reve.
nues, $4,000 tons of coal soon will be
distributed along the lines of the
Union Pacific. in Kansas and Nebras
ka More than two hundred and fifty
carloads are on their way there now
and 1900 cars will be forwarded at
the rate of fifteen or twenty daily.
Sets Precedent.
Payment of freight on freight cars
is novel transaction and came about
in this way:
The Hartman lines are having to
tai of 1900 steel gondola cars con
structed in the mills at Johnstown, Pa
Shortly before the first cars were
ready for delivery the Hartman man
agement received a flood of requests
from eastern lines to be permitted tt
load cars for delivery to points in the
middle west This is the usual method
of getting new freight cars delivered
to the line owning them.
To all these requests, however, the
management turned deaf ear. Man!
of the roads desiring to use them grew
indignant, while others offered unus
ual prices for their use. But Juliu:
nruttschnitt, director of operation ant
maintenance for the Hartman lines
replied that he wanted the cars i'm
mediately to assist in relieving thu
coal shortage in the west. The ques
ton arose of how to get the cars tt
the mines without having some roat
steal them for temporary use en- route
The management finally decided t.
ship them as freight and is paying $2s
for delivery of each car.

[ACoMAM MARR|Es A CHILD
italian Saloonkeeper Weds 13-Year-Old
Girl and Saves Himself From
Punishment.

TACOMA, Jan. 16.-Sam Gallucci,
a saloonkeeper of this city who had
been accused of enticing little girls
into his rooms over the saloon on c
street and keeping them there for two
or three days at time, has married
A3-year-old Annie Kiselburg, whose
mother made the complaint against
the man.
Mrs. Mary Kiselburg, the mother,
who swore out the information against
Gallucci, gave her consent to the mar
riage and Judge Linck, who issued
the warrant for the mans arrest, per-
formed the wedding ceremony.
The marriage license was secured
Saturday night after regular business
in the court house was over, and the
ceremony was performed late that
night.
AS the ceremony makes it impOssi-
BILE for the complaining witness to tes-
tify against the man who is now her
husband, there was no longer any
grounds for holding him and he was
ordered released from jail
The settlement of the case in this
manner is creating considerable COM
ment. and there is great deal of
censure for the prosecuting officers
who allowed the marriage to take
place. Early in the week it was an
nounced that there was enough
straight evidence to convict the man of
the crime charged.

and make our industrial, commercial
and legislative life one of harmony
Our state and national legislators
would then be representatives of our
whole interests; our state business
could be conducted more economically
and with more facility than can be
done in either of the three states. and
the development of the new state, in
which we are all vitality interested,
could be accomplished without having
to combat opposing legislation, as is
now the case"
| C.. Herbert Moore, chairman of the
"City Beautiful committee of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, has
sent open letters to the people of the
states, in which he says that the solu-
ton of the questions involved in COM
merce, industry and political expedi-
ency is the formation of new state.
He adds:
West Side Holds Power.
Politically, the representation of

litical life is largely at the suffrance
of the west side, in that no legislation
beneficial to the east side and detrl-
mental to the coast and Sound can be
secured. The conflict between the two
sides is irrepressible and the deter
mination of the west side to keep us in
subservient position amounts almost
to jealousy of our progress.
"The two ends of the state have
nothing in common. There is a dis
similarity in politics, in agriculture, in
climate and it's effects upon the soil;
in mineral and lumber production, IN
grazing and stock raising and all the
commerce that follows these varied
interests. In all these important con-
ditions the two sides of the state, as
we'll as those of Idaho and Oregon are
Numerically opposed to each other
and always will be.
"This is the solution: The remodel
ing of Washington, Idaho and Oregon
on the following lines, we believe,
would be beneficial to all parties con-
cerned: Let the As parallel of latitude.
which is now the northern boundary OF
Wyoming, be extended westward un'
til it reached the 121 degrees OF
longitude w. Greenwich, then extend
the line north, following the 121 de-
grees to British Columbia; give to Ida
no that territory lying between Its
western boundary and the 121 degree
The boundaries of the proposed new
state would be British Columbia on the
north the course of summit of the Bit
ter Roots on the east, the As degree
of latitude on the south and the III
