field Is Rescued by At
tendants at the st. Francis
BELLBOY SAVES LIFE

But for the quick ear of an energetic
bellboy at the st. Francis Hotel George

in the bathtub.
About IL o'clock in the evening Ed

vine and House Detective Peterson and
the three hurried to the room.
Armer was boosted in through the
transom over the bathroom door. He
unlocked the opening and Lewis was
taken from the tub. He was un-
conscious and was revived with diff

lulled TO sleep by the soothing warm

LACK OF SEAMEN
FOR WAR SHIPS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

VALLEJO. Jan. Slowing to the
great scarcity of men available for ser
vice in the navy on this coast il is un-
derstood that the department is Sc
riously considering placing the cruiser
Chicago out of commission at Mare
Island. The transport Buffalo has but
sixty men in her crew. while more than
200 is the regular quota. The cruiser
Milwaukee. which calls for over 700
men aboard, is 800 short. With the
placing in commission OF the cruisers
California and South Dakota at this
yard within the next six weeks and OF
the battleship Nebraska at Seattle at
least 1000 additional men will be re-
quired.
In the face Of the great shortage Of
men available for the navy the discour-
aging report comes from the big cruiser
Milwaukee, now being overhauled at
the navy yard. that the deseFtiOn OF
men is alarming from among the en-
gine-room crews. Irksome duties be-
low decks is given as the cause of the
trouble.

CATHOLIC SOLDIERS OBJECT
TO ORDER AS TO WORSHIP
Appeal to Department Against Lieuten-
ant CaIonePs Command That They
Attend Church on Sundays

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 31.-Announce-
ment was made today that twenty five
Catholic soldiers at the barracks here
have appealed to the War Department
against Lieutenant Colonel Glenns or
der directing them to attend church on
Sundays. There is considerable excite
ment at the barracks regarding the
order
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-No report
has been received respecting the re-
cent alleged order of Lieutenant Colo
mel Glenn to the soldiers at Columbus
Barracks TO attend church service.
Lieutenant Colonel Glenn was officially
informed by the department last week
that he might order such soldiers as
cared to attend church service to or
ganize in squads and proceed to their
respective places of worship.
1t is assumed at the department that
this last phase of the case has devel-
oped from admonition by Lieutenant
Colonel Glenn to his men to attend
religious services of some kind.

ASK FOR FUNDS To
IMPROVE RIVERS
Members of House Hold a
Debate on Bill Aimed to
Make Better Waterways
ADDRESS BY BURTON

WASHINGTON Jan. 31.-The river
and harbor appropriation bill occupied
practically all of the time OF the House
today. After short colloquy over the
division Of time and the paternal ad-
vice OF the Speaker to allow the chair
man OF the committee of the whole
Courier of New Hampshire) to control
the general debate. the debate was led
by Burton of Ohio. chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee.
Burton discussed the practice of re-
porting river and harbor bills only
once in every two or three years, and
said
MY heart and the heart of every
American swells with just pride when
we consider the glorious record of our
navy. But is IL giving to commerce a
square deal when it receives for its
rivers and harbors practically the only
appropriations made for commerce, 3
per cent, and war and its wards, in
this peace-loving nation of ours, re-
ceivss 40 per cent a year of our total
annual appropriations for all the pur-
poses of the government
Burton said that during the last five
years the navy alone had received a
total of S490, ,0o0, 900, almost as much in
i've years as the rivers and harbors
had received during the entire lis
years of our national life.
The chairman of the rivers and har-
bors committee remarked that if Con-
gress would properly improve all the
meritorious waterways, the expendi-
ture would be a billion dollars instead
of the s500,0o0,000 that had been ex-
pended

To FORCE RESPECT
FOR UNIFORM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-If Presi-
dent Roosevelt can bring such thing
about, Congress will pass a law which
viii prevent discrimination against the
uniform Of the army or the navy.
Several cases involving this ques-
ton are pending in State courts. but
the more recent case of the refusal
of a skating rink proprietor at Platts-
burg. n. Y, to admit two soldiers in
uniform. which was sustained by Judge
Everest of the City Court. has given
an impetus to the movement set on
foot by the PRESIDENT some time ago
to insist that the uniform shall be
recognized in all public places.

CAMPOF|ORE ACTS
unlike CARMEN
BY James Crawford

Matilde Campofore.s impersonation
of Carmen last night at the Central
Theater was an addition to the sur
prises, agreeable anc otherwise which
lmpresario Lambardi has been giving
us at irregular intervals since his sea-
son began.
Her temperamental display in pre-
ceding roles had prepared us to find in
the Campofiore a cigarette girl of ultra
warmth. tossing her soldier dupe aside
as IL he were squeezed lemon and
alternately shouldering and worming
her way into the bull fighters affection.
Instead of that we found Carmen OF
undecided color, lacking both the COM
pelling scarlet of Il Colamarini and
the alluring crimson of a Calve-a
Carmen of quality SO negative as to
minimize the illusion that for ner sake
an officer forgot he was gentleman
and a lady killing toreador became
led captain. From beginning to end
the characterization was Irregular,
with but few convincing flashes. Nor
was the role sung more satisfactorily
than it was acted. Song after song
that are noted as sure fire" encore
bringers were applauded hardly at all
when sang by the Campofiore. The
tremolo that comes of defective breath
ing and voice forcing was painfully
apparent despite the fact that the
score HdQ eS1Qe1liy Uttli idilPCi Cd
with to suit her vocal limitations.
But there were compensations for the
shortcomings in the title part. Patti
sang Don Jose very well. and Antola
acted and sang Escamillo splendidly,
although he did not look the toreador
Garments wanton fancy chose Esca-
milo because he was brawny and big
and coarse hammered. and Antola was
none of these. His first boastful song
,1;f Iox. hut tlla fra Crln G II
ton enabled him to phrase all the more
effectively in the crescendo finish that
brings the recalls. Tromben warbled
Michaela like a bird, and acted little
like one, too, Lambardi. the only un-
qualifedly true" singer in the cast
was splendid Zuniga.
OF the chorus not much can con-
scientiously be said in commendation.
The people were not to blame for the
stage management that permitted them
to stand inert as statues when both the
scene and the music plainly demanded
animation and plenty of it. This SEEM
ing inertia contributed not little TO
the imperfection of the ensembles. In
the first act the women sang the cigar
cite chorus as if TIE smoke did not
agree with them, and in the second act
Escamillos first entrance-one of the
most effective entrances, by the BY
that was ever conceived by dramatist-
fell fiat because of lack of proper ac-
tion by the revelers.
But the Bizet opera will draw big
attendance when it is repeated next
Saturday and Sunday evenings. 1t is
popular because it is understandable e
through it's appeal to the eye as well
as on account of it's tunefulness, which
is all the more reason that even when
it cannot be perfectly sung it should
be adequately acted and staged.

Constipation and It's
Causes
A WeII-Known Remedy

Constipation is one of mans worst
enemies, and half the bodily ills we
suffer from are result thereof Nature
meant that the bowels should be kept
free and open-that we should have
free movement at least once a day
OF course, we ourselves are to a large
extent responsible for our troubles by
failure to observe Natures laws. Our
habits are irregular, we eat improper
food with undue haste, and when we
find our bowels do not move, have re-
sort to powerful drugs and medicines,
which are so drastic in their action
that, although they may purge at rirst,
they damage the tender lining of the
stomach and bowels so as TO leave a
worse condition than before. And why
take such injurious and expensive
drugs when we can obtain from any
druggist, much cheaper, a bottle of Ma
ture's own remedy-the famous Min
eral Laxative Water-HUNYADI JAN
OS-bottled at the springs in Hun
gary; in use nearly half a century?
One dose, Il tumblerful, drunk ,on
arising in the morning (slightly
warmed for best results), will bring
within an hour refreshing rnove-
ment-gentle, natural and thorough
without any gripping or purging or 9TH

but a trifle. Keep one always on hand.

HEPBURN RAPs HITCHCOCK
Criticises the Order Issued on Patents
10 Public Lands

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31-Senator
Hepburn continued his criticism in the
Senate today upon the special order Of
the Secretary Of the Interior which for
bids the issuance of patents to lands
until after an examination on the
ground by a special agent. Hepburn
asserted that the creation of forest re-
serves had raised the price of wood for
fuel in his State IS per cent and the
price Of lumber generally from 50 to
s. a thousand feet. He said 100000
acres Of land in Idaho had been con
verted into forest reserves. He codld
make no explanation of the policy
being pursued unless II was greed of
power
Senator Carter interrupted the dis
cussion and said that last year not less
than 10000 settlers on land in West
ern States. migrated to Canada. The
reason was, he said. because settlers
Were tiring Of the increasing restric-
tions and embarrassments being thrown
in their way by the administration Of
the public land laws. His statistics
showed that ten years ago but forty
seven settlers migrated to Canada in
a year
Hepburn had not concluded when the
Senate adjourned.
