HOW WILL HE VOTE?
The WOrkinsman's Interest in the
Coming Election.

I WIZ '"u Lht stOCh ana DOGuS was q
I proposition which Mr.. B f. Yoakum.
chairman Of the executive committee of
the Rock Island and San Francisco lines.
explained to the Convention Of Locomo-
tive Engineers at Columbus, Ohio, on
Monday. Of each dollar earned by the
railroads of the country u cents goes to
the employees and p cents to the inves-
tors; that is to say the owners Of the
road.
Any danger which threatens the rail
road investor threatens the payroll.
/ The investor hesitates to risk his money
in business which is being constantly
attacked by the lawmakers and threat
ened and demo need by the politicians.
Therefore, war against capital means
war against labor, for if capital gets
scared ard goes into hiding labor will
go hunnry. Any political party or
any candidate, either for national or
State Office, Mr. Yoakum impressivey
declared, who stands for a policy that
means the retarding Of the growth Of
this country and the building Of new
railroads and the Improvement of the
old ones, stands for policy that takes
the throttle from the locomotive engi-
naar. the shovel fran the locomotive
fireman. the bell cord from the conduc-
tor, the lantern from The brakeman and

TIMBER OWNERS FORM
FIREFIGHTING SOCIETY
MOVEMENT OF GREAT ECON
OMIC IMPORTANCE
Wealthy Men in Different Sections OF
the Country Plan to Pro-
tect Their ln-
terests

One of the most important economic
movements of the day about which the
general public has yet learned little is
the concerted action of owners OF TIM
ber in different parts of the country
in organizing associations to protect
their holdings from fire. In the Pa
cific northwest, the Washington For
est Fire association has just elected
officers at Seattle and begun work for
the year with 100000 acres under its
care. The plans include a system of
patrol by rangers resembling the work
done by the United States forest serv-
ice in guarding against and eXtinguish-
ing fires.
Organizations of similar kind and for
a like purpose are at work in OrA-
gon and Idaho. In the latter state, a
portion of the expense is borne by tax
alton and paid from the state treasury.
A western railroad company which
holds large tracts of timber has taken
steps to guard it's property from fire,
and during the short time that its
plans have been in operation it has
met with most encouraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side of the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone to work
in the same systematic way to control
the forests great enemy, fire. Like
organizations are found in other parts
of the country, showing how fully 1t
is now realized that protection against
fire is of the greatest Importance.
1t is safe to say that fires in this
country have destroyed more timber
than lumbermen have cut. When tim
ber was abundant the waste passed
almost unnoticed, but now that scar
city. is at hand and an actual wood
fmine threatens in the near future, the
owners of forest lands are waking up
and taking action to save what is left.

TRACE OF RESIDENTS OF
LOST ISLAND is SOUGHT
Inhabitants, Race of Esklnos Hold
ing Itself Aioof from Neighbors,
Do Not Know There Is
World

MACON, Mo-, May 7.-Dr. Rudolph
M. Anderson, who for the last two
years has occupied the chair of physi-
ology at Blees Military academy, left
this week for New York, where he will
join the staff of the American Museum
of Natural History. The express pur-
pose in DR.. Anderson aligning himself
with the museum is to take charge OF
an expedition to locate an unknown
tribe of Eskimos on a small 1slano
in the Arctic ocean. DR.. Andersons
associate In command will be DR.. Ste
fansson, also of the museum staff. The
balance of the company will be natives
Of the far north.
A voyage lasting two years has beer
planned. If successful the gentlemen
will devote large part of their time
to the study of the lost tribe, theii
language and their manner of living
and will endeavor to bring back with
them some of the members, together
with as large a collection of objects
illustrating their forms of worship
method of hunting and of living as is
possible to transport.
Most Civilized of the Esklmos
No white man has ever met any
members of this isolated tribe, and ths
knowledge of it's existence comes from
Eskimos picked up here and by whal.
ing vessels From these 1t is gathered
that the islanders are a vigorously ex.
elusive set, but that they have ad'
vanced beyond other tribes in theil
skill in making implements of tht
chase and in the construction of theil
habitations. Whether the tribesmer
from the mainland will be able to con-
verse with them is a question for flu
ture solution, and there is even more

kingdom will permit their visitors tt

OF course the voyagers will go tt
them with the outstretched hand OF
friendship and will endeavor in every
way possible to win their good will
They will come the interesting feature
of their mission-making them under
world beyond their little island, which
is only a pinpoint in the ocean.
Both Searchers Are Norsemen
DIR. Anderson and DR.. Stefansson are
stalwart Norsemen, Injured to the hard
ships of a old climate, and thoroughly
at home on snowshoes and dog sledges
They will leave New York April 80, fol
Edmonston. British Columbia. There
the railroad terminates. From Edmon'
ston they will voyage down (Which
means northwest) the Mackenzie river
to Herschel island, at the mouth OF
the river. This puts them into the
Arctic ocean. They expect to get Their
supplies, dogs and sledges on the island
and will then arrange for their native
company.
The next part of the journey will be
made on a whaling vessel to the mouth
Of the Copper Mine river. From there
they will cruise along the coast to the
small island beyond Prince Albert is
land. On this small island they ex-
rect to find the queer tribe that is moi
aware it is lost.

WHITENS THE SKIN

The formula given below will
be found wonderfully effective
for whitening the skin, bleaching
the cuticle and imparting that
creamy softness which is so de-
sirable.
Two ounces of Rose water;
one ounce Spirits Of Cologne;
four ounces Sartoin. Put the
Sartoin in a pint of warm water,
then add the Rose Water and
Cologne Spirits, and after dis
solved and cooled, strain through
a fine cloth. These ingredients
are obtainable from any well
stocked druggist. Apply imme-
diately after washing and to only
a portion of the skin at a time,
using the bare hands. Never use
a cloth. After one part is thus
treated. proceed to another. This
should be done twice a day or
oftener, and no other lotion,
powder or cream need be used.
Beneficial results are usually
apparent from the first few APP
plications.

PATROLMAN ARRESTED
ON SERIOUS CHARGE
CLARENCE E. Logic AGAIN IN
TROUBLE
officer Is Said to Have Threatened
Woman's Life, Knocked Man
Down and Smashed House,
hold Furniture

Patrolman Clarence e. Logic of the
central police detail was arrested at
the home of Major H. C. Wyatt at
Sixth street and Burlington avenue
last night by Lieutenant William A.
Murray and placed in jail.
Lieutenant Murray alleges Logic
was intoxicated at the time and that
previous to the arrival of Murray
with several officers he had attacked
Major Wyatt and broken up $500
worth of vases, bric-a-brac and fur
niture.
Logic was overpowered by Lieuten-
ant Murray and the officers and taken
in the patrol wagon to the police sta
tion, where he was ironed and strapped
to a cot.
Shortly after o'clock a telephone
message was received from house on
South Flower street near Fifth stat
ing that a policeman had made an at
tempt to shoot woman at that num-
ber.
Detectives Hosick and Zeigler were
sent out. When they arrived at the
house they found Mrs. Bertha Bennett.
The officer had been with her but
had gone. The woman was arrested
and taken to the station. where she
was booked on suspicion.
Logic is said to have left his beat
and called on the woman and after
remaining In her room for some time
engaged in a fight with her over bot
tie of whisky. Logic is said to have
seized his revolver, which was lying
on a table, and threatened to shoot
Mrs. Bennett. She ran from the house
calling for help and Logic went back
to his beat.
Goes to Wyatt Home
He. is said to have been too drunk
to walk and went to the Wyatt home
and kicked on the front door.
Major Wyatt opened the door and
was about to take the man in and
put him to bed when he claims he was
attacked by the patrolman' and struck
heavily in the face.
Major Wyatt endeavored to defend
himself as we'll as he was able and
then Logic is said to have turned his
attention to the furniture and literally
wrecked a part of the house, breaking
up valuable vases and glassware
chairs and tables.
| Major Wyatt telephoned for the po,
lice and the patrol wagon was sent tc
| the house. Logic was found lying
! face down on the porch in a drunken
stupor, but when the officers attempted
to place him in the wagon he resisted
and it took the combined efforts of five
men to overpower him.
His star, revolver and club were
taken from him by Lieutenant Murray
and he was ironed until he reached
the station, where he was strapped tc
| a cot.
Logic made the novel defense for hi:
conduct that he had been poisoned by
eating chocolate drops which Mrs
Bennett had given him.
viii Be Tried
Logic will be sent before the police
commission for trial. 1t was freely
predicted at the station last night thai
Logic will be dismissed from the force
