slMIsTIc VIEW OF NORTH DA-
koTA FUEL FAMINE.
eREAT SUFFERING SURE TO RESULT
APPREHENDs CHASTITY DlscLo.
suREs IN REMOTE LOCALE
TIES IN THE SPRING.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Hans
brOugh of North Dakota takes a pes
simistic view of the fuel famine situa-
tion in Western and Northern North
Dakota. He called at the Interstate
commerce commission during the day
and submitted to the commission many
messages he had received concerning
the deplorable conditions in his state.
Through many towns of North Dakota,
he is informed, not more than one or
two freight cars have passed since the
beginning of the year. Fuel, either
coal or wood. is not to be had even
in towns of 1900 inhabitants. The
senator told the commission that the
people living several miles from the
railroads were certain to suffer meal
culably, as they were unable, on ac-
count of the deep snow, to get fuel to
their homes even if it were available
in the towns. He apprehends some
CHASTITY disclosures when the spring
opens In the remote parts of the state.

uPHoLDs COLONIAL POLICY.
It's Continuation Of Greatest Impor.
tance to Germany.

lance 10 Germany.
Berlin, Jan. 12-Colonial Director
Dernburg explained the foundation Of
Emperor Williams so called welt
politik" tworld policy at the conven-
ton of the German chambers of COM
merce. Laying great stress upon the
colonial enterprise of Germany and
the development Of her colonies Herr
Dernburg said:
THE German colonial question is
the question of the future Of national
labor, the question of the bread Of
millions of industrial workers and the
question Of the employment of Ger
man capital in trade, production and
navigation"
In the presentation of the facts lead
ing up to these conclusions Herr Dern-
burg said that the English speaking
nations Of the world in the middle of
the Eighteenth century numbered g.
100000 and the German speaking ma
20,000,O00 Today 120,000,00O spoke
English and only 7O,OO00OO speak Ger
man. Germany had lost position Of
relative Importance in the world be-
cause she had no colonies and was de-
pendent more than ever on other coun-
tries for raw materials and food sup
plies.
Herr Dernburg described the rapid
development Of the United States and
its increasing economic Importance
and commercial influence throughout
the Western hemisphere to the detri-
ment of European nations.
On the subject Of colonization Herr
Dernburg said that while the greater
part Of African colonies were not
adapted to colonization by Europeans
German Southwest Africa and the
highlands Of East Africa contained
areas twice as large as Germany
which could be settled by Europeans
and large areas were also available in
the South sea colonies.

OF all the musical curiositles that
Nature has produced lately one of the
oldest is man with piano in his
lungs. On the Pacific coast there is
man by the name Of Pearson, his
native state is said to be Arkansas,
but he now resides in small Wash

undue effort, send forth remarkable
melodies which sound like the music
of piano with a melodeon accom-
paniment.
This lung piano, as it has been
termed by the owner, is partly gift
of Nature, but Pearson has cultivated,
the use of the extraordinary instru.
ment very carefully and thoroughly,
until now he is able to play several
familiar tunes with wonderful expires.

He makes an excellent, barker. and

The Judge died shortly before mid

Judge Cortese removed the OUTSIDE

father rested the package on the desf

was an explosion. A hole six fee
square was torn in the floor and thI

From the fact that the greatest force
of the explosion was downward, it is
believed the machine was filled with

DOORS BARRED AGAINST POLICE
WHO WORKED FOR six HOURS n
CAPTURE SALOON PATRONS.
Only One Was Able to Effect an e
eape-RIsky Jumps BY Another
Made Many Shudder.

Springfield, O., Feb. 11.-After ST
hours of desperate work the polio
forced an entrance into Patrick ke
hoes saloon, at Main and Penn streets
and captured % loiterers. The raid wa
sensational and some Of the scene
were thrilling. The police did not az
complish their purpose until after the
had battered down five doors, heavl
barred with iron, and then they wer
forced to call upon the hook and Id
der crew of the Central Engine hous
for assistance.
Entrance was finally gained by cut
ting a hole through the roof and SUI
prising the loiterers, who had gone t
the attic to avoid arrest. Fully 500
people gathered about the saloon, an
for q time things looked threatening
The police were abused and attempt
were made to block them in thei
work, but they kept at their task AM
finally won out.
In the morning a squad of deteC
tives and patrolmen, in charge of Ser
geant Joseph Creager, surrounded th'
saloon. The police were armed witt
a warrant, and when refused admit
tance they went to work on the QUITE
door with axes and sledges. The,
found their task no easy one, but tht
door finally gave way.
Once inside rush was made for thu
bar room, but it was deserted. Tht
building in which the saloon is stu
ated is three-story brick. The police
started for the second floor and founC
the doors heavily barred. They finall!
yielded, but no one was in sight. Theil
experience on the third floor was the
same. Then they started for the attic
The door leading to this was so heavi
1y barred that it would not even yielC
to a jack.
The loiterers stood it as long as they
could and then they were forced tt
make their presence known. They
were packed so tight in the attic that
they almost suffocated. They broke
open the windows to get air and some
crawled out on the roof. They hurled
all kinds of epithets at the police. The
crowd was startled by one fellow
jumping from the top of the building
to a telegraph pole, across an eight
foot sidewalk. His attempt to escape
was discovered by the police before
ne could descend the pole. The fellow
climbed back and once more startled
the crowd by springing from the pole
to the roof. He caught hold of it and
drew himself up.
The crowd was given another scare
q few moments later when another
fellow jumped from one roof tc
another one, the latter being very
slanting. Many closed their eyes
thinking that the man would be killed
He managed to hold on, crawled along
until he reached another building and
finally made his escape.
