GLOBE TROTTER
FOR UNCLE SAM
Official Who Holds Title
Has Travelled 100000
Miles.

Who is the great Government globe
trotter? Since he has been in the serv-
ice Of Uncle Sam, one man has travelled
on land and sea approximately 200. 900
miles. Most OF his journeys have been
made on Government business. A good
many OF them-those within the borders
Of the United States-were personal OF
political jaunts, but these counted in the
aggregate Of his travels do not impair
his title TO champion official globe Cir
dler.
No other United States official ever
travelled so many miles in so short a
time on business for the Government,
and it is doubtful II any other high Gov
eminent officer ever covered so many
miles in his whole term. nc matter how
long it may have been. Not SO long ago a
trip 70 san Francisco for the Govern
ment would have been considered a
pretty big thing. To this man such a
trip would take on the proportions Of a
mere incident.
The Times next Sunday will print a
full page illustrated article in which
these various journeys are recounted in
detail, together with maps illustrating
the routes taken on his rush trips. The
story makes intensely interesting read
ing and should not be missed By people
who keep abreast OF the times. Order

WHERE'S NOWHERE?
MAN KILLED THERE
Accused Californian Admits
Murder, Court Has No
Jurisdiction.

The unwritten law. emotional in
sanity and similar pleas, are being fire.
quently used TO free persons charged
with the crime of murder, but it is
doubtful II ever a man was saved from
the gallows on a defense so novel as
tI.at recently put up by the lawyer for
a Californian accused Of killing a
Chinaman. The man admitted the kill
ing Of the Chinaman, and there were
plenty OF witnesses to the deed.
The attorney for the defense admitted
that the Chinaman was dead-shOt
through the heart-and that his client
had fired the bullet, but he claimed that
the murder did not take place in the
county OF Los Angeles. where the ac-
cused was tried, nor in the State OF
California, nor In the United States, nor
anywhere else in the world where a
court Of justice had Jurisdiction.
The court, after listening 70 the argll-
ment. admitted il was without jurisdiC-
zion. dismissed the case and discharged
the prisoner.
Now, where did the murder take
place, IT, as the judge ruled. it took
place nowhere2
The whole story is told in an illus

zine Section OF The Sunday Times next

CRISIS REACHED
IN GUATEMALA
Central American Republic
Must Either Fight or Give
Up Lima.

While there has been less war talk in
the dispatches from Mexico and Guate-
mala during the last few days, informa-
ton in the hands Of state Department
officials shows conclusively that the
crisis in the affairs of the Guatemala
republic has arrived, and within the
next few days President Estrada y
Cabrera viii find himself compelled
either to fight President Diaz, Of Mex
leo, or else surrender his loyal friend
and supporter, General Lima To fight
Mexico would be suicide for Guatemala,
It Is conceded on all hands, yet by his
determined stand Cabrera has shown
the diplomats here who are endeavOring
TO solve the problem, that he is not one
TO back down easily or readily.
Whether Mexico will accept q cOmpro-
mise and agree that General Lima shall
be tried in Guatemala for instigating
the murder Of General Barillas, the
former President OF Guatemala, who
had been living in political exile IN
Mexico City. cannot be said at this
time. Cabrera is said to be willing to
this, but Diaz doubts his sincerity and
is determined that the promoter of the
crime that WAS enacted in his country
shall not 90 unpunisE Cd.
Cabrera claims that his friend would
not have fair trial in Mexi,H, while
Diaz is OF the belief that he would
escape justice in the courts Of Guate-

the trial may take place IN that country.

COTTON CROP ACREAGE

NEW YORK, May 10.-A recognized
authority on matters relating to the
cotton crop, in returning from a trip
through the cotton belt, sums up con-
ditions as follows:
Cd Farmers throughout the cotton
States have planted or are about to
plant all that they possibly can. and
the acreage will not be any less than it
was last year

the exception Of isolated localities

CD The cottonseed industry is having
some difficulty in disposing of lis oil
products and linters. An unduIv large
percentage of oil is below the edible
grade. and IL is not easy 10 find a
market for so large a proportion of a

wise, on account OF new methods Of
separation. been much less valuable as
a by-product than formerly. In some
places the price mas fallen as low as .

HEARING GRANTED

WHISKY BLEND
Desire to Reopen Case
in Hope of New De-

The whisky rebellion as some one
has called the organized protest of the
distiIlers against the recent interpreta-
ton of the pure food laws provision re-
gardlng the blending of whisky, is to
receive further consideration at the
hands Of the Attorney General Mr..
BOEaparte has fixed next Wednesday
for hearing the statements of those dis
tillers who want the matter reopened so
that arguments may be made on the
questions involved.
This does not mean that the matter
has yet been reopened. II merely means
that. while the department is stin stand
ing on It's ruling that combination Of
whisky and grain distillates is not a
blend, it is willing to hear what the
whisky people have to say in support
of their claim that they should be grant
ed rehearing. II at the hearing next
Wednesday 1t shall be decided that the
matter be reOpened, then the whisky
men will want to present testimony and
expert opinions in support of their con-
tention that whisky and grain distil-
lates are like substances. and therefore
the combination Of the two should be
known as a blend

Dunlap a Subordinate.

The exact status of this new board is
not quite understood as yet. It was
the impression when Mr.. Dunlap came
from the University OF Michigan as as
sociate chemist that he was to be in all
matters Of equal rank with DR.. Wiley
But recently, it develops. the President
has indicated in an official notification
70 the Civil Service Commission that he
is TO be a subordinate 20 DR.. Wiley
Exactly what weight, therefore, viii be
carried by DR.. Dunlap's conclusions as
to the technical and scientific questions
that the board must consider, is not
very well understood.
The whisky people are determined 10
make fight 10 the very last resource
in support OF the contention OF the
blenders that the mixture OF whisky
and grain distillates In the form Of neu-
tral spirits constitutes a blend II IS
said that over 80 per cent Of the whisky
interest Of the country is enlisted IN
favor Of this contention, and that It is
prepared 20 make itself felt politically
and In every other way possible, be-
fore II viii accept final defeat. The
matter concerns a much larger interest
than any other that has yet come to
issue under the food law.

Change in Board.

II the whole matter is finally re-
opened. il may lead to a different de-
cision. Since the case was first sent to
the Department of Justice there has
been an important change in the con-
stituion Of the board at the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which makes the
rulings under the food law. The first
ruling was made by Secretary Wilson,
Solicitor McCabe, and Chief Chemist
Wiley. DR.. Wiley disagreed with the
other two. but was sustained by the
Attorney General when the matter went
10 him. Afterward, the President, at
Secretary Wilson's request, named an
associate chemist at the Department Of
Agriculture, and Secretary Wilson then
established board TO consider and rule
on all matters of construction OF the
food law. This board Is composed Of
the two chemists, Wiley and Dunlap.
and Solicitor McCabe. In case Of re-
opening Of the whisky case. Il is under
stood this board would sit on the matter
and il is possible that the former deci-
sion might be changed.

Expected Reply.

The sudden termination of the Ohio
warfare between Taft and Foraker is
the one political topic. The Taft people
strenuously deny that there has been
any deal" and other people are asking
the question. when is a deal not a
deal?' The TAFT forces do not like the
Interpretation which has been placed
on the adjustment of Ohio differences
by some people who see In It the evil
dence that the city machines are to be
left unuistUrbed in possession Of pat
ronage, as an incident 10 a friendly ad-
1ustment which gives Taft the Presi-
dental support of the State and Foraker
the Senatorship.
The Taft people say that Cox has had
no promises. and that Foraker is not
guaranteed any immunity from opposi-
ton They add that probably there
viii be no organized opposition by the
Taft crowd as such. though everybody
will be left free to support whomever
he likes for Senator.
Everything Harmonious.
They thirk, in short, that everything
will be harmonious, but are positive
that no promises have been made TO
Cox and the other bosses. Representa-
tive Burton is at liberty TO run FOR
Senator If he likes. but there is an i'm
preston that he will not care to do SO.
1t is pointed out. however, that the
project OF a primary in the State is not
dead On the other hand. il is declared
that the Legislature, early next winter,
VIII probably pass a primary law, under
which the years nominations will later
be made. Anybody who wants to Op-
lose Foraker for the Senatorship will
be at liberty TO go before the primary,

Burton or somebody else will not do 50.
Taft IS now free to 90 out and Guilt

Roosevelt support at his back, and with
the certainly that he will be safe at

The new impetus TO Taft's candidacy

looking TO an alliance; and the fact that
the governor is not yet ready to con-
cede that ne is himself out of the Presi-
dental list is supposed 10 be in part
responsible for this. The suggestion Is
naively advanced. that a combination Of
Hughes and Odel in New York would
handsomely pair off against an alliance
OF Taft and Cox in Ohio.
But while the politicians may make
their calculations and combinations
there is little dissent from the opinion
that the Ohio arrangement has made
Taft a much stronger force in the PreSi-
dental situation. The Roosevelt strength
Is expected TO gather around him IN
many States with more hrmness than it
has heretofore demonstrated.

At the present time there are many

Mark Twain used to white the time

porter on the Territorial Enterprise.
By the way, talking of Mark Twain
and Aurora, recalls chapter in the
career of the noted humorist. Dur

acted as correspondent for the En-
terprise. His ready wit brought him
to the attention of the editor of the
paper. A vacancy occurred on the

THE GOLDEN SLIPPER.

The manner in which the Golden
Slipper ground has been worked, and
the extensive equipment installed
there by the North Western Mining
company have challenged the admira-
ton of every enthusiast on the merits
of this district; the result has been
that the prospects of a big mine on
this estate has gradually become
brighter with time, and the convic-
ton has steadily grown that the own
ers knew what they were doing when
they put into commission a $4,000
plant for deep work.
The wonder strike on the Cyclone
has made people think, as well as in
vestigate, and this has developed the
conclusion that not only is the Slip
per in line for the extension of the
Nevada Hills vein, but that it un-
juestionably has the Cyclone vein;

fact was never before patent to the

Yesterday. by actual count, twenty
two freighting outfits passed up Main

pacity from four to ten tons, with
from six to twelve head of stock in
each team. OF this number of out
fits, three were loaded with baled
hay: three brought In the new plant
for the Eagle, weighing twenty-one
tons; two carried fast miscellaneous
freight, while the remaining fourteen
brought lumber for the yards, and
heavy timbering for the various
mines Not less than seventy-five
tons of freight were loaded on these
twenty-five outfits, which means that
corresponding tonnage of ore will
go out of camp today.
Not day passes but a stream of
wagons passes up Main street on the
way to the mines, where it is quickly
swallowed up in the large number OF
deep workings. Not less than $50,
900 feet of lumber is now being con-
sumed monthly in the camp, and the
revenue derived from the haul alone
is sufficient to make Churchill county
wealthy.
No less than $4,000 a month is
distributed among the stores and pro.
