"Para-see de boat" interrupted the
two ?year-old.
Mr.. Pembroke's eye caught a cinder
which did not prevent his observing the
heightened color OF his fair companion
with some malicious satisfaction.

"Why?' lisped the infant.

a squirt gun than to encounter the
party in that especial sleeper.
AS his eyes fell upon the appealing
blue ones raised to his. however. he

his own. Arising manfully he made
his way TO the rear, hoping to there en-
counter the brakeman, but that gentle
man was nowhere TO be found, so with
out further hesitation he entered the

\ he met was the lady who had urged HIS

MIDDLE WEST CAN
CONTROL TRADE.
Can Dominate Commercial Life of West
Coast of South America When
Panama Canal Is Completed.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept 9.-"The great
middle west will have control Of the en-
tire west coast of South America when
the Panama canal is completed, provid-
ing the deep waterway from the lakes to
tbs gulf is constructed. Otherwise it
will be Japan, Germany and England
which will exercise commercial sway
over this vast empire to be opened up"
This statement was made yesterday
by John Barrett, director Of the Inter-
national Bureal of American Republics,
who has been in Chicago for several
days comforting will men interested i'll
the deep waterway proposition. 1t is his
contention that the federal government
should lend all the aid necessary for
the construction of this ship canal to
make the great advantages Of the Pana-
man canal available to the Mississippi
valley. Mr.. Barrett said:
1T is not excessive to estimate the
value of products which the republics
will then be purchasing from foreign
countries at 100000, 900.
'"The major portion of these supplies
will come from America if the great
manufacturing centers of the middle
west are provided with water transport
tation. 1t requires no stretch of imagi-
nation to conceive boats or barges loaded
in Chicago, Joliet or other points in this
manufacturing district making the en-
tire trip. America has been slow to
improve its waterways, much more so
than any other of the great powers and
it is time we awoke to the advantages
to be Obtained"

DRESS REFORMER WEEDS
EvELINA PALMER BECOMES BRIDE
OF GREEK POET.
Girl Has Attracted Much Attention by
Wearing Sandals and Style OF
Ancient Hellas.

BAR HARBOR, Me-, Sept. 9.-Miss
Evelina Palmer, daughter of Mrs. Robert
Able of New York, was married here
today to Angelo Sikelianas, Greek.
who has won recognition in this country
for his poems and philosophical writings.
The marriage is causing interest not
only because of the union Of the young
American girl and the Greek poet but
because of the social prominence OF the
brides family and her own unconYen-
tional ideas i'll the matter of dress.
Possessed of an independent fortune
in her own right, Miss Palmer has trav-
eled much. On her last voyage she re-
turned from Europe, August u aboard
the Lorraine and was the most observed
person in the cabin because her attire
was that of d Greek maid of the DAYS
when Greece was the home of art and
literature. Clad in a loose robe of Iy-
rian purple cinctured just above the hips
with loose belt, and wearing sandals
on her bare feet, Miss Palmer had to
bear constant curious scrutiny from her
fellow passengers. She told friends that
she had adopted her unusual attire prin-
cipally because of it's comfort and her
belief that it was the most healthtul

After Five-Year Sentence.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. O.
William F. Bechtel, former president OF
the Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company who was sentenced Oil
June % to serve five years in prison at
hard labor, after he had been convicted
of grand larceny from the Northwestern
National Life Insurance company of
Minneapolis. was granted a new trial to-
day by Judge Dickinson. Because it is
unlikely the county attorneys Office will
be able to obtain some of the most i'm
portant witnesses who figured in the
prosecution of the first case. it is ex-
tremely doubtful if Mr.. Bechtel will ever
be placed on trial again.

FRANCE GIVES A PLAN.
Massacre and Commission Will
Fix Commercial Damages.

PARIS, Sept. "a special meeting
Of the cabinet was held today for the
purpose of considering the Moroccan
question. The following conclusions
were reached:
The Moroccan government should be held
responsible for the massacre of July 80 at
Casa Blanca. as well as for the damages
suffered as result Of the pillage or the
repression of disorders.
The indemnities should be fixed by an in,
ternational commission.
incidentally this is Frances answer to
the demands of the German exporters at
Casa Blanca that France compensate
them for the losses they sustained during
the bombardment.
