PRISONERS ARE
RELEASED FROM
C|TY'5 BAST|LE
Jailer Takes Drastic
Action
Tanks So Crowded That Authorities
Are Obliged to Release Men Be-
fore Their Terms Are
Completed

The almost unbearable conditions
which have obtained at the city jail
since the present hot weather CON-
menced because of overcrowding in the
tanks and cells, were relieved some
what last night when Jailer John Nc
Cauley, after taking a survey of the
situation and finding no other way to
relieve matters, lined up fifty-two of
the three and five-day men, opened
wide the big outside door and told
them to go.
This was a somewhat radical pro-
ceedure, police officers say, but it was
fully justified by the conditions. 1t
relieved the situation to the extent
that the big tanks in the Jail last
night were somewhat more bearable
for the remaining unfortunates.
Sends Others to Basement
To make additional room in the
tanks the jailer transferred twenty
four of his prisoners to the basement
store rooms.
Before this was done PIP prisoners
were confined in tanks made to hold
125 prisoners. BY his action Jailor Nc
Cauley reduced the number of persons
he had to confine in this space to 1876.
AS further relief to those left be-
hind all of the electric fans in police
Capt. Flammer and put to work inside
the Jail.
Capt. Flammer also continued the
good work begun by Lieut.. William
Murray the night before in supplying
ice to the prisoners, and directed that
500 pounds be purchased and dis
tributed among the tanks and cells, SO
that the Jail inmates might have cool
watch.
Prisoners Are Delighted
While the situation inside the jail
was such as to make the lot of prison
ers an unhappy one, the change from
the past few nights was so great that
the prisoners were smiling, happy and
contented.
In the big tank a meeting of prison
ers was held last night and resolu.
tions were adopted thanking Jailei
McCauley for releasing the men, who
were turned loose by his order, and
thanking Capt. Flammer and Lieut.
Murray for their kindness in provid-
ing ice water.

Dunno this morning put stop to the
liberty allowed Mayor Schmitz, when

attorneys, he should rot be allowed to
go to his home, and that his absence

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 5.-As a result
of the presence of organizers of the
Western Federation of Miners and local
agitators friendly to that organization,
an attempt is being made to enroll the
smelter men employed by the Copper
Queen and Calumet and Arizona
smelters as members of the federation.
The refusal of the companies to recog-

Japan viii Have Opportunity to See
Some of the Mightiest Vessels of
the American Navy In
Short Time

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Details of
the vast movement of the Atlantic fleet
to Pacific waters have been theoreti-
cally worked out weeks in advance by
the naval general board. But these de-
tails are necessarily subject to constant
change resulting from the withdrawal
of battleships from active commission
on account of having been declared an
tiquated or in need of repairs, and the
substitution of other ships just going
into commission and fresh from the
builders hands. There is in the navy
department today scarcely any one au-
thorized to afford any information as to
the contemplated f1e-t movement.
Secretary Metcalf is in California;
Assistant Secretary Newberry is at
Watch Hill, R. l.; Admiral Brownson,
chief of navigation, who is next in line,
has gone to New York, and the acting
secretary of the navy is Rear Admiral
Mason, chief of the bureau of ordnance.
The opinion of the officers on duty
today is that the route most feasible

Avoid Japanese Waters
The route across the Atlantic and
through the Mediterranean and Suez
canal is open to the objection that it
would bring the big ships almost into
Japanese waters, and the movement
might consequently be regarded as
menace, which Secretary Metcalf has
stated was never contemplated. The
Suez route is longer by a thousand
miles than the Magellan route. This,
according to the best calculations and
allowing for short visits to ports on
the nearest sailing route, is about $4,000
miles in length.
The battleship Oregon covered the
distance from San Francisco to Jupi-
ter Inlet, Fla, in 1898, in sixty-three
days. But she was handicapped by the
company of the little gunboat Mariet-
ia, which was scarcely able to make
more than eight knots an hour, and
also by the fact that as precautionary
measure the Oregon was sent around
the West Indies. So the opinion is now
that under ordinary cruising speed,
which for the big battleships means
ten or twelve knots an hour and allow
ing a reasonable time for coaling en-
route, the Atlantic fleet can make the

are still pouring through the great gap
in the south end of the broken levee
and slowly the flood is spreading toward
the San Emidio road, where, an army

There are 200 men on the work and
400 horses. and these numbers are being
added to as fast as new teams can be
procured. About 10000 acres of land are
already under water.

EGG PRESERVATION.

There is hardly housewife but is
interested in an effective method of
preserving eggs-the keeping of them
from midsummer, when they are
worth but - cents a dozen, through
the winter, when they are likely to
be 25 or 80 cents. To such some ex-
periments in egg preservation conduct
ed by. the Rhode Island experiment
station will be Of interest One lot of
twenty fresh laid eggs We're placed
in a solution composed of one part of
water glass and nine parts of boiled
water about the middle of May When
they were taken out, ten months later,
all We're found to be good and suitable
for table use. All of a second lot
packed in common table salt We're
found spoiled at the end of the period.
a third lot placed in a solution made
by stirring one pound of quicklime
and one-half pound of table salt in
four quarts of boiled water and using
the clear liquid after the solution had
settled We're all good at the end of the
ten months period, although the whites
tasted slightly of salt absorbed from
the solution Either of the sue
cessful methods described is mex
pensiye and practical for any house
wife. A fact that should not be over
looked in the experiments conducted
is that perfectly fresh eggs were used,

The Dutch system Of feeding and
rearing Holstein-Friesian cattle is sim
plicity itself. The calves are given
whole milk until about five weeks old,
when the ration is gradually changed
to skim milk and grain. The grain
is cooked or steamed and fed with the
milk at first and later is fed dry im1ne-
diately before the milk is given. When
grass is available it forms the entire
ration for heifers, and during winter
the rations are only sufficient to keep
them growing. Bulls are fed in the
same manner until they are year old,
after which they are closely confined,
but regular exercise Is given daily.
Bulls used for breeding are kept In
stables or paddocks and are well fed,
but not allowed to become fat Roots
In winter and green forage in summer
are largely used Professor W. A.

Bad Ventilation,

Few dairy farmers really understand
what good ventilation means. 1t is a
common thing to see hay chute left
open over the cows with the impression
that it will Greats a current of air to
yentilate the stable The fact Is, a
stable, to be ventilated, must have the
air drawn off from near the floor This
Is where the bad air accumulates. A
shaft that simply takes the best air
from near the ceiling is a damage.
Foul air is from 10 to 20 per cent heav-
Ter than pure air. The only system of
ventilation that is worth tie name will
admit pure air from outdoors near the
ceiling and draw off the foul air from
near the floor, says Farm Press. Any
thing short Of this should not be called
ventilating the stable.

THE cosT OF INSECTS.

Figures compiled by the federal de-
partment Of agriculture place the total
damage to the seed crops of the coun-
try from the different insect pests at
100000, 900. 1t is little wonder, in
view of such figures, that great impor-
tance is being attached to the work
which is being done by the different
state experiment stations and the
United States department of agricul-
ture along the line of lessening or en-
tirely preventing the enormous damage
mentioned. There has been no time in
the history of the country when the
quality and value of the service rem
dered by these agencies have been
more apparent than at the present
and no time have they been deserving
of more generous assistance While
not all people are financially so situ-
ated as to afford to wear silks, broad
cloth and jewelry, there is no excuse
for any person, however poor, going in
a dirty or shabby condition, with wa
ter free as air and soap obtainable at
5 cents cake, and yet, in spite of the
simplicity of this proposition, there are
altogether too many, and some of them
well fixed, who appear to be practical
ly oblivious Of the merits of soap and
water. They not only deny themselves
one of the greatest comforts and luxu-
ries, but are equally inconsiderate of
the feelings of those who are compel
led to associate with them.
