How awful" breathed the girl,
while her mother groaned in horror.
'Did-did you shoot anyone?"

briskly. 1T was their lives or mine,

Il had no idea such terrible things
happened on the lakes said Miss
Bardell, thoughtfully. Strange that
the papers never mention anything
about it."
Dead men tell no tales, and a cap

veracious Mr.. Boggs. Sides which

But there's your mate" suggested
the girl. "He-he's such quiet,
good-looking fellow, and not a bit
like a ruffian."
The captain eyed her suspiciously
Looks amt everything" he COM
mented grumpily. "Brennan's as bad
as the rest, only he knows what to ex-
pect if he bats his eye at me-"
| Miss Bardell said no more, but her
behavior to the mate that night was
extremely gracious, and much to
Boggs' surprise she paced the deck
with the second in command for
nearly an hour while the captain
glared wrathfully at them from his
station on the bridge. The highly
gratified Mr.. Brennan was not uncon-
scious of the interest he had awak-
ened in the breast of his fair compan-
ion. and he improved the shining hour
by dwelling pathetically on the hard
fate OF seamen condemned to stand
the abuse of a tyrannical captain.
"A holy terror. that's wot he is"

Miss Bardell.
"Oh, WELL" said the artful mate,
hesitatingly, II dunno. When girls

mate.

the girl, sharply, "and just tell you

Of Testimony Against

Said Tariff Caused
Big Prices

Washington, D. c.. April 3O.-A
mass of data bearing on what he
charged to be a combination OF pa
permakers to raise prices and regu-
late production was furnished today
by John Norris, representing the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation, to the select committee of
the house which is conducting an
investigation into the subject Of the
prices Of print paper in the United
States.
Mr.. Norris was on the stand nearly
all day. During the time that Mr..
Norris was excused General Felix
Agnus of the Baltimore American,
testified regarding the various con-
tracts with the paper manufacturers
and said that in January last he was
forced by the International Paper
company to pay $12 a ton more for
paper than he did last year. He re-
lated a conversation he had today
with a representative of the Inter
national Co., in which he was told
that if the tariff on print paper was
removed he would be given reduc-
ed rate.
At the close of the days session
Chairman Mann stated that appar-
emily some of the publishers were
not as anxious to attend the hearing
as they originally appeared to be.

mac Hero

Spokane, Wash, April e3O.-Capt.
Richard Pierson Hobson, hero of the
Merrimac and congressman from
Alabama, scored John Sharp Will
iams and other prominent men in
the Democratic party in an interview
here because of what he termed their
unwarranted and unpatriotic action
in defeating the appropriation for
four battleships. He said in part:
We have given up hope of getting
four battleships this year. We made
a hard fight, but lost, and have to
be contented with two ships. Next
year, however, the fight will be re-
newed and we will win. There was
strong opposition from the element
that is antagonistic to the president,
which I think was radically wrong.
It was mainly on account of the in
ertia in congress that we failed;
congress could not realize the need
of four ships, but the people Of the
state of Washington did and its three
representatives voted for the bill.
There is grave danger, that the
Pacific coast will some day need a
| fleet that can be there all the time,
and not be shifting from the Allan
| tic to the Pacific and back again,
leaving one coast unprotected most
| of the time. 1t is not right to give
the Japanese a temptation such as
an unprotected coast. War with Jap
| an is as sure as day. America is
far more defenseless than China
| With an inferior force in the Pacific
ocean, we give Japan standing in
vitation to seize the Philippines and
Hawaii, raid the Pacific coast and
ultimately to invade the entire Pa.

Ann Arbor. Mich, April 3O-Gov.
John A. johnson of Minnesota was the
guest tonight of the local Democrats
and Democratic students of the Uni.

81 am a Democrat and l know that
there is nothing wrong in Democratic
principles said Gov. Johnson in his

THE Democratic party is the only
party that has any principles, be-
cause it does not believe in the gov
eminent of all the people by few
of the people. Even the newspapers
must pay tribute to the few for their
print paper, but they have become in.

in the name of humanity for relief.
But Speaker Cannon and his satellites

"The man who works finds condi-
lions growing harder, and the man
who works the worker gets it easier.
Il want to see Democratic plat
form made at Denver that will attract
the man who reads and does not climb

WOMAN NURSES
 ARE HERO|NES

BIg Rapids, Mich, Apri 22-Sistcrs of Mercy attached to the Mercy hos pital in this city proved themselves hcroines early this morning when q fire started in the hospital totally destroying the structure. The blaze was discovered by an attendant who alarmed the Sisters and despite the fact that the fire was well under way the nurses at once set about getting the patients out of danger.
 The fire department was soon on the scene but so great start did the fire have that had it not been for the bravery of the Sisters there would have been q great loss of life. As it was everyone was saved.
