JAPANESE EXPERTS SEEK
FACTS ABOUT CAR LINES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The In
'terstate Commerce commission re-
ceived visits from two distinguished
Japanese genetlemen, who are seek
ing all information obtainable on the
railroad situation in the United
States, especially private car lines.
They were Motojiro Takata, council
lor of the finance department, and X.
Noborisaka, councillor of the trans
portation department of the imperial
government railways of Japan. Both
are from Toxic. They were loaded
up with all the books and other print
ed material in the chief clerk s office,
but still did not seem satisfied, and
they were introduced to members of
the commission.
The Japanese and Chinese students
are the most persistent seekers after
information on the railroad question
of any who call at the commission S
offices. They spend days and weeks
at time in the Offices, and then do
not seem satisfied with what they
get from the printed data at hand in
the library and files.

QUIET NEW YORK DAY
NO VIOLENT DEATHS

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE coro-
ner's Office of Manhattan, for years
the daily source of gruesome news
copy tonight gave up a story that
in point of novelty ranks first in the
Offices records.
Twenty-four hours have passed in
Manhattan without murder or sui
eide being reported. Nineteen hours
went by while not sudden or sus-
picious death was recorded. This
period of criminal inactivity includes
Saturday evening. The average run
of cases reported to the coroner on
Saturday night is twenty-five. There
have been infreqcent periods of three
and four hours without deaths thai
attracted police attention, but never
a whole day in the memory of pres
ent officials.

NORD|CA WILL FOUND
GIRLS MUSICAL SCHOOL
Famous Songstress Will Sing for
Oscar Hammcrstcin This
Season.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Lillian
Nordica, the prima donna, who just
arrived in this country from Europe,
announces that she will sing for Os-
car Hammerstein at his opera house
for a term of twenty weeks, begin
ming November 4. She will appear in
her usual roles. Speaking of her pro-
jected American Bayreuth on the
Hudson, Nine. Nordica said that her
plans were being rapidly developed,
and that while abroad she obtained
copies of the plan of the new opera
house and conservatory at Munich,
which will serve as the model for the
proposed buildings on the Hudson.
The singer added that her scheme
includes the best musical education
of American girls at home.

Many lives might be saved if peo-
pie in general would sleep with their
heads at the foot of their bedsteads.
The housekeeper, with an eye to APP
pearances, puts the head of the bed
in the corner of the room or at the
side furthest from the window. The
sleeper gets no fresh air and the light
shines annoyingly in his eyes, unless
he still further excludes ventilation,
with drawn curtain. The room
'.looks NICE" but the occupant dies
of consumption.
The best place for sleeper'S head
is in a direct line between two wide
open windows on opposite sides of
the room. Few city jewellers can
have rooms with windows on two
sides; but it is usually possible to
draw the bed about so that the nose
is close to window, which should
be opened winter and summer to its
utmost capacity and unobstructed by
shades. The nearer like an open tent
the room can be made the better.
There is no virtue in discomfort.
Sleeping without pillow or on a
hard mattress is unwise. In a cam
paign it is the recruit who tries to
inure himself to hardships. The vet
eran gets what comfort he can. Nee
essariy in a temperate climate fresh
air is cold in winter, but there can
be no objection to artificial heat in
the open windowed bedroom; the
best is an open wood fire, which ven
tilates the room by creating an up
draft. If possible thoroughly
warmed dressing room should be pro-
vided. In any case there should be
no plumbing in the bedroom itself.
A bedroom should have neither
carpet, rugs, upholstered furniture,
pictures, scarfs nor knick-knacks to
catch and hold dust The den" bed
room affected by young people, with
photographs and all sorts of trash
tackled to the wall, is an unsanitary
abomination.
The philosopher, Herbert Spencer,
had ear muffs which he wore when
ever in society the conversation failed
to interest him. Some such device
to deaden the murderous noises of a
city would be blessing to many light
sleepers. Some have used with adj
vantage very small square light pill
low placed over the upper ear so as
not to interfere with breathing. This
does not shut out but deadens the din
of the streets.
Only by abundant sleep in favora-
bic conditions can the worker indoors
reasonably hope to rival the health
of the fortunate outdoor man, whose
life approaches the natural condi-
lions in which the race was planned
to thrive.-New York World.

German Thinks Our Pace Too Swift


A German merchant on a visit to
to this country writes about Yankee
vacations" to his home and in the
course af an interesting letter says:
MY New York host kindly invited
me to accompany him on a four days
recreation trip to Saratoga, beauti-
full resort which became popular
.many years ago because of it's water
of curative properties. My friend is
a man in perfect health and went
there not to drink the waters, but to
rest, and this is how he did it: We
arrived at a hotel of tremendous
proportions late in the day, went to
our rooms, which were ready for us,
dressed for dinner and had our meal
in the largest dining-room / ever saw.
Then we went to the beautifully il
Illuminated court, which was thronged
with guests listening to the concert
After hearing two numbers we were

host, and with them went to another
hotel and to the rooms of the party,

the party played a little bridge.
looked on, smoked and slipped cool
drinks until long past bedtime and
then went to my room, leaving the
men still playing cards. My friend
reached his room at 2 o'clock. The
next morning my friend rushed
through his breakfast with a New
York paper before him and then
while I took drive, went to a stock
brokers' office to watch the bourse
reports, in which he was deeply in
terested. He was still there when I
returned. While we We're at luncheon
he received two kilograms and wrote
answers to them and immediately
after we left the table he spent half
an hour at telephone talking to his
office in New York. From 5 until
o'clock that day we took a drive,
went to restaurant on the shore of
a picturesque lake and l fancied that
the real rest had begun. But that
night the bridge session was resumed
and it was again morning before the
man who went there for rest retired
to his room. That was the routine
for the four days vacation, and we
returned to New York, he more tired
than he was when he went away and
| wondering what American work
must be If what / saw was rest
spoke of it to one of my friends who
said: You should have gone to
Saratoga week later. in the racing
season. Then you would have seen
your friend fill in the time between
stocks and cards with horse race bet
ting and the excitement connected
with that form of gambling. But do
not worry, your friend can stand it.
He grows fat on it, although the same
pace would kill you. New York
Tribune.

one at the present time, would have
a population of 425,000.
The population would exceed that
of six other states: Delaware, with
1913, 900; Idaho with 1000; Mon
tant, with $4,000; North Dakota,
with 3S4, 900; Vermont, with $780,
900, and Wyoming, with 5000. 1t
would be practically equal to the
population of New Hampshire and of
South Dakota, each case of which has
approximately 100000, according to
the latest figures available.
Utah's area would be increased
from S4,970 square miles to 1885,
go, or more than doubled. In eX-
tent of area it would exceed even
California, which has 15S,360 square
miles.
Utah's gold production would be
more than doubled. The output OF
the gold mines of the present state
this year is estimated at 202,675
ounces, while that of Nevada is 244,-
S23. The gain in output of silver
would be about one-third. The latest

state would be affected may be es-
timated by any man for himself by
comparing the election returns in
Utah and Nevada at the last cleo
ton. If the congressional districts
as at present defined were kept in
tact, Utah would have two represent
atives in congress instead of one
while the United States Senate would
have two fewer members than at
present.
In order to effect such an annexa-
ton it would be necessary first for
congress to pass an act calling spe-
cial election in the two interested
states. Then it would be necessary
for a majority of the residents in each
state to vote for union. If Utah
should give a majority in favor OF
annexation and Nevada majority
against it the proposition would fail,
even though the total affirmative vote
greatly exceeded the negative. The
same would be true if Nevada ia
vored and Utah opposed annexation.
An affirmative vote in each state,
separately, would be required.

Four railroad was cut off January

italist and member of the board of

the consideration for the gravel pit
leased was a pass or free ticket for
