EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.
Some Account of the Arctic Tripa
That Have Been Made.

Beginning with the American dis
coveries of John Cabot in 1897, the
search for the northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
petitions from Denmark, England,
France and Portugal, says A. w.
Greedy, in the Century. 1t was Frobish-
er, however, who in 1576-78 first gave
a distinct national character to the
quest. John Davis of Davis strait,
followed in three voyages, 1883, and
then, in 1912, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should achieve
what they had undertaken OF else give

closed for two centuries with the voy-

The revelations regarding fraudu-
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, n. D., and published
by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commits
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much of a sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
1t has been shown that kegs marked
pure White Lead often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes,
silica, ETC., and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
adulterants, to say nothing of water
in large proportions. Sometimes. So
called white Leads" contain not an
iota of genuine White Lead.
The farmer is a large user of paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be a law in every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con-
tents That would enable every paint
buyer to buy intelligently.

TORTURE WOMAN
UNTIL SHE DIES
A Story That Comes From Chicago
Which Reads Like the DOings
Of the Comanche Indians.
Former Followers Of Elijah powle
Killed Crippled and Aged Woman
In an EndeaVor to "Drive out
DEVILS" and Failed In
Resurrection Scene"

Chicago-Five persons members OF
the sect of Parhamites, are under ar.
rest in Zion City. accused of torturing
TO death Mrs Letitia 'Greenhaulgh, GA
years old, a cripple for twenty years,
in order to show belief in the religion
they profess.
Those arrested are Walter and Jen,
ME Greenhaulgh, the son and daughter
of the woman; Harold Mitchell, Mrs.
Harold Mitchell and Mrs. Smith Mrs.
Greenhaulgh had been for twenty
years an invalid, suffering from paraly,
sis and rheumatism.
The sect of Parhamites was founded
about a year ago by Chas. f. Parham
and numbers about 200 persons. Its
members originally belonged to Dow.
les church, and they believe in the gift
of tongues. and especially in diabolical
profession. 1t is their theory that
sickness Is the evidence of the posses.
sion by the body by evil spirits.
The condition of Mrs. Greenhaulgh
convinced her son and daughter and
the three persons arrested with them,
that she must be possessed of the dew
II. and they determined to exercise
the evil spirit The FIVE knelt by the
bedside, and after prayer, commenced
their work. The arms of Mrs. Green
haulgh, stiffened by rheumatism. were
jerked and twisted about in order that
the devil might be driven out. The
cries of the aged woman were consid
cred TO be those of an evil spirit and
were greeted with triumphant shouts.
After a course of this violent treat.
ment Mrs. Greenhaulgh not only be
came so weak that she could not use
her limbs. but became incapable of
making any motions Then her neck
was twisted. and for some time this
treatment was kept up. The tortured
woman. whose screams were not heard
by neighbors because of the fact that
one OF the "healers" held his hand
over her mouth, finally died from the
effects of the rough treatment she was
subjected to. After that according
to Greenhaulgh.' Mrs. Smith became
the leader In a resurrection scene"
In this efforts were made to restore
the dead woman to life. When these
had failed, the announcement of her
death was made. The case is TO be
fully investigated by the authorities

MORE FIGHTING IN MOROCCO.
General Drude Resumes Offensive and
Burns Moorish Camps.

Casablanca.-Negotiations for the
cessation of hostilities having failed.
General Drude on Sunday resumed the
offensive and burned the Moorish
camps at Sid Brahim, south OF Casa
blanca, and dispersed the tribesmen,
who offered but little resistance.
These operations were chiefly notable
for brilliant forced march OF the
French troops. who covered forty kllo.
meters inside of twelve hours. The
expedition, consisting of 1000 in
fantry, with a detail of cavalry, artil.
lery and native auxiliaries, left camp
before dawn and formed into two hol.
low squares. one behind the other. In
this ~mation they marched some
dlstar rg under the cover OF darkness
and unobserved by the tIibesmen. A
heavy morning sea-fog came up at
daybreak and forced a half hours
halt. during which shots fired by the
advance guards gave the alarm to the
enemy.

ADMIRAL DEWEY OPPOSES
SURRENDER OF ISLANDS
Regards Philippines as Gateway to
the Orient, and an Aid In Main
tanning the Open Door Policy.

Washington-Admiral Dewey strong
ly resents the proposition that has
been discussed in more or less AGA
demlc way to surrender the Philip
pines which. of all men. he was a lead
ing factor in bringing under the Amer.
lean flag. In an interview, the admiral
sets out the reasons which impel him
to insist upon the retention of the
Islands. The strong point of his ar.
gument Is not based upon the military
or naval Importance of the islands.
but upon the great value, present and
prospective, of the Philippines to
America in the extension of our trade
with the orient
The admiral says: Abandon the
Philippines? I don't believe our coun.
try will ever do that. Certainly IL
should not, because Il has altogether
too much at stake. It is only our con-
troll over the Philippines that makes Il
possible for us to insist upon the open
door In the east. toward which our
diplomacy has been directed for years.
We want our share of the enormous
commerce OF the east and we can't
keep the door open for It unless we
hold the Islands. Why did Spain for
200 years dominate the commerce of
the orient? Just because she had the
bay and harbor of Manila as a great
commercial and naval base. That
base can be just as useful to us com
merclally as II was to Spain. For ten
years every strong European nation
has been trying to get foothold for
commercial and naval purposes in the
far east. Through the fortunes of war
the United States obtained the best
position possible. giving us superior
commercial advantages over the ma
tons. What sort of a common sense
would it be for us to give up such a
position?
Suppose we should dispose of the
Philippines and Japan should acquire
them. See how the islands stretch
along the coast. Here are the Philip.
pines and Formosa. II Japan had them
she could command every gateway to
the orient and the United States would

cial operations Of the world. We ought
to be the leaders. but we must at least
have share in the enterprise, and
in order to do so we must maintain
the position we have occupied. I
think 1t is plain that we must have a
commercial base such as Manila, and
then In order to protect our commerce
we must have a naval base. and at SUI
big bay such a base is being devel.

BRAKE REFUSED TO WORK.
MINERS DASHED TO DEATH
Heavily Loaded Cage Drops 700 feet
In Shaft Of Michigan Mine and
Bodies Of Victims Are Mashed
TO a Pulp.

Negaunee. Mich--By a cage plung-
ing 200 feet down the shaft OF the
Jones q Laughin Steel mine, eleven
men were killed and seven fatally In.
jured The cage with its human
freight was being lowered on It's first
trip of the day. when the brake
suddenly failed to hold. The other
men sprang TO the assistance of the
one at the brake wheel. but their eff
forts did not avail, and the wire cable
continued to unreel from the drum
like thread from a bobbin.
The cage shot down a couple of hun.
dred feet before a kink in the too rap.
idly paying out cable caused 1t to part
and from that point the cage had a
sheer drop to the bottom OF the shaft
The safety catches with which is was
equipped failed to operate. The surg
ing of the cable in its mad flight tore
out a part of the side of the engine
house and ripped out several OF the
sheaves in and about the shaft house.
Workmen az the bottom OF the mine
set about the task of re-
moving the dead. The bodies lay in
one pile a mass of lifeless flesh and
blood The bones of the bodies were
SO shattered that the men when they
fell were piled on top of each other like
so many pelts of leather Seven were
found still alive.

PEACE MEETING
DISMAL FAILURE
Nothing of Importance Has Been
Accomplished by Delegates to
The Hague Conference.
Prevailing Opinion is That Absence OF
Results In Great Questions ie Due
to the Lack Of Preparation by
All the Countries Repre-
scented.

The Hague.-After having been in
session more than three months. and
with adjournment probably month In
the distance, 1t is recognized gener,
ally, and even by the most optimis.
tic In the peace movement. that the
second international peace conference
has been and will be. at It's conclusion,
barren OF results leading to pern1'
nent measures of benefit to the peace
OF the world Even the proposition
for a future meeting of the conference,
which was unanimously adopted on
Saturday, has been so altered as TO
suppress It's most important part,
namely, the periodicity of meetings,
merely providing for the calling of a
third conference, but establishing moth,
ing with regard to the converting OF
the future conferences.
The prevailing opinion, as expressed
by one of the leading delegates. Is
that the absence of results in the con,
ference on the great question was due
to the lack of preparation by all
the countries represented. Tbi1, he
said, was especially striking in the
case of the American delegation, which
was supposed to have come here in
complete accord with the Latin-Ameri-
can countries. This accord, however.
neither existed. nor had it been reach.
ed during the conference. Indeed. the
chief result of the conference will be
a growing feeling of difidence on the
part of the South Americans toward
Washington, as. rightly or wrongly,
they accuse the United States OF hav-
ing neglected them and of caring only
for working in accord with Great Brit
ain and Germany.
