CHARLES ii. DANIELS. caSionS At the
Olympic games in st. Louis in 1904 he
made a worlds record, swimming 900
yards In 2 minutes "A 1-5 seconds. He
gave the foreign swimmers another
surprise at the games in Athens in
1906, when he swan away from them
and took the 100 yards race. Daniels
is member of the New York Athletic
club and in winning the worlds anna
teur championship has done much to
populariZe swimming as sport in
this country and to give it a leading
place in the programmes of organiZa-
tons devoted to athletics. His style
is much praised by experts. and his
ability as swimmer is all the more
remarkable because he started to swim
only about six years ago. His father,
a member Of the Knickerbocker club.
brought him to its pool and intrust-
ed him to the care of Professor
Alex Meffert, asking the coach to
teach his boy how to swim. Daniels
says that the first time he got in the
pool he swallowed enough water TO
sink a warship. But after that he de-
termined to learn the watery art and
spent day after day practicing.
After a careful study of the various
strokes used for speed swimming
Daniels put into practice certain ideas
Of his own that he had gained while
practicing He learned the English
racing stroke and compared its re-
suits with several other strokes that
are used in various parts of the world
Finally he came to the conclusion that
the crawl and the trudgeon strokes were
the best ones to use in racing.

When Eaintina Is a Feint.

Painting. which anciently was known
as swooning, is a term that seems to
have come to US through the French
from the verb we still have in "feign."
Faint has been spelled with an "a"
and with an &C." The spelling with an
sc" retains its early meaning; the spell

TWO GREAT DAIRYMEN.
University of Wisconsin Professors Who
Have RevoIutionized Dairying.

4
Madison, Wis. Aug. 5.-''Dr. S. NJ.
Babcock and DIR. E. b. Hart are
known TO the world as men who have
revolutionized the Dairy Industry, =
says A. W. Hopkins, Wisconsin
'03, in an article in the last Outlook
in which he reviews the work which
these two professors. of the University
of Wisconsin have done for the dairy
men of the state and. through them,
for the nation and the world at
large. The value of this work to the
butter and cheese manufacturers
everywhere is evident when it is con-
sidered that the amount of butter con-
tanned in cows milk is accurately
determined by DR.. Babcock's invented
test while the amount of casein for
making cheese is determined by an
| invention of Prof. Hart
The Babcock test is essential in
buying milk for the manufacture Of
butter, but it is scarcely possible that
it's economic Importance is greater
than that of the Hart test for the
discrimination CT the cheese producing
contents of milk, says Mr.. Hopkins.
''By the recent production of his ap-
paratus the cheese industry of the
country has been established upon a
new basis. The breeder, through the
Babcock test, has made a butter COW.
one in which the fat is unusually
high. and he has done this by selec-
ton. 1t seems highly probable that,
with the simple casein test, the
cheese cow can also be DEVELOPED
COW which, for instance, instead of
giving a milk with seventy pounds
of casein per hundred pounds of fat.
will produce a milk containing nearer
a hundred pounds casein for one
hundred pounds of fat. We NEED
strain of cows which will habitual-
ly produce milk rich in casein. Here
lies one of the important fields of the
casein test. Like the Babcock tester.
the Hart tester is means of determ-
lining the profit producing powers of
the dairy COWS of our farms. Its in
telligent use will eliminate the un-
productive. animals and improve the
character of those to be. -
Mr.. Hopkins describes both pro-
cesses popularity. The Babcock test.
he says, a machine for revolving
glass milk bottles at a certain speed,
with careful graduate marks on the
outside of each bottle. In addition
there is tube to measure the milk,
and an acid measure. The we'll
stirred milk and sulphuric acid are
put in the bottle, shaken, and put in
the machine where the revolving
motion at high pressure sends the fat
into the neck of the bottle. where it
can easily be measured. The Hart
test is somewhat similar. except
that acetic acid and chloroform are
used, with a metronome to control
exactly the speed of the machine.

Glorious Revenge

Lancaster got good and even with
Galena yesterday at the $3.50 prize
game on the Livingston ball park,
shutting out the Galena nine by
score of six to nothing in the tenth
inning. A large crowd of Lancaster
fans witnessed the victory of their
own team over the team that they feel
virtually stole two games from them
last Saturday and Sunday at Galena.
Yesterdays game was for blood
from the start. was holly contested at
every point, and was intensely excit-
ing from start to finish At the end
of the ninth inning the score stood
to 0.
In the tenth the Lancaster champ
ions got six runs and succeeded in
shutting out Galena from getting any
and hundreds of threats roared out
their joy at the result This now
puts Lancaster one game ahead of Ga
lena ON the entire seasons contest
The batteries were Piddington and
Gleghorn, Kilburg and Fox. Pid-
dington stuck out eight and Kilburg
five. Lancaster made nine hits and
two errors. Smarting under the feel
ing of injustice done them in last Sat
urday's and Sundays games the
Lancaster crowd came home feeling
that this was the most glorious vic
tory of the season.

Lancaster won its ninth victory
over Platteville Thursday at the Liv-
ingson base ball tournament, this
time shutting out the Cubs 2 to O.
It was an interesting game and was
"A fought by both teams. The
Cubs have strengthened since the
locals cleaned them up last week and
have three new men to take the place
of Katz, Larke and Jack Ovitz who
resigned. These new men, however
were not enough to win the game from
Lancaster and although Platteville
played good fielding game they
could not long hold the locals sluggers
in check.
Up to the seventh inning neither
team scored but in Lancaster's half
of this round Hauser decided that it
was about time to break up the game
and landed on one for two Dagger
which he tried to stretch into triple
but was thrown out at third. This
hit came at the right time. for two
bags were occupied and both men
scored.
Ames pitched for Lancaster and did
good work. He worked his old trick
occasionally of getting man on
third and then retiring the side.
Negar pitched his best for Platteville
and was given good support as Ames
was also. Ames' work in plnches
however was much better than
Negar's for he always denied the hit
that would score the man.
By this victory Lancaster was
given the opportunity of playing the
Galena team the next day for the
purse of $3.50.

AN EVENING WITH THE COUNCIL.

:
Many People Using the City Water I'm
properly Batch of Bills Allowed.
At the regular meeting of the city
council, Tuesday evening Mayor
Bennett and Aldermen Eastman,
Treloar, Henkel, Knox and Fisher
were present
Complaint was made to the council
that many people were improperly
using the city water for sprinkling
and other purposes for which they
have no permit and are not paying.
Some users let their neighbors draw
water from their hydrants contrary to
the regulations, and some let the
water run at their hydrants so that it
will be cooler for watering their stock
at the expense of the city.
. In the Teller Office building rooms
have been rented to a couple of young
photographers, who have been per-
United to use the water in their BUSH
ness operations without anybody pay
ing therefor. The council announces
it's intention of seeing that THESE and
other infracions of the ordinance are
looked after.
The rate commission came in for
some censure because of the opportuni-
ty it gives the Bell telephone COM
pany, to demand pay
ment for services it has been rendering
without cost to the city. When the.
city permitted the company to place
its poles in the city streets an agree
ment was made verbally by which the
company, in exchange for such.
privilege, was to furnish free tele
phone service to the city hall, the city
clerks residence, the pumping station
and the engineers residences. The
rate commission is understood to rule
that the company must make uni
form rate to all users, the purpose evil
IDENTIFY being to prevent telephone
companies from discriminating be-
tween their patrons and giving one a
lower rate than another. It should
not apply to such case as this, but
the company now asks the city to pay
1924 for the city hall service, like
amount for the pumping station and
$18 for each of the two residences if
used. The matter was laid on the
table until the next meeting. If
they have to be paid for the council
contemplates materially increasing
the rent for the company's exchange,
which is located up stairs in the city
hall.
The nuisance of coasting upon the
sidewalks with small wagons was
called attention to by one of the
aldermen, and steps will probably be
taken to put stop to it.

port for July, which was as follows ::

The suit of Lille Bowen against her

yesterday continued until March "a by
Judge Monroe of the superior court,
who said there had not so far been
sufficient evidence introduced by the
plaintiff to show failure to provide by

1907, and Mrs. Bowen says she was
deserted on February 1. Her husband.
she says, has property worth 100000

thrice, still has a husband living in
Canada from whom she is not divorced.
His brother testified that for a long
time the couple occupied separate
homes in Los Angeles, and that Mrs.
Bowen once stated she and her hus-

BEGINS CONTEST FOR
HIS FATHERS ESTATE
Son Asserts Undue Influence Was
Used by Man Who Benefited and

Alleging that his father had been
unduly influenced by his son-in-law,
Arthur r. Rapp, and that the will
he executed on June 81, 1905, was there
fore void, Frederick E. Schueddig yes
terday began a contest of the docu-
ment in the superior court. The value
of the property left by the elder
Schueddig was a little over $4,000 and
consisted of money and notes.
According to the son, Rapp, who
was named as executor, came to Los
Angeles and gained the confidence OF
the old man to such an extent that ne
drew up a will in his favor.
e. l.. Morton, a witness to the Will
testified that A. w. Ewing, another
witness, had asked the elder Schueddie
if the will was satisfactory and re-
ceived the assurance that 1t was.
Ewing then wrote Schueddig's name
and told the old man to touch the
pen. which he did, being unable to
write because of blindness.
A housekeeper said she had been in
the old mans home for two years prior
to 1907, and that he acted like child.

PAINTING TELLS STORY
OF OLD INDIAN DAYS
Artist in Picture Relates Tale as Told
Him by Braves of the Hopi
Trlbe-Purchased by
Santa Fe Road

painting, pronounced by critics as
the best known of the Grand canyon,
has just been purchased by the santa
Fe railroad and will be on exhibition
at the local ticket office.
The artist is former Californian,
w. e. Rollins, who now has studio at
Phoenix, Ariz.
The picture was first seen by Presi-
dent Ripley of the Santa Fe while visit
ing Phoenix some time ago. He was
so struck with it he sent for w. II.
Simpson, advertising director of the
road at Chicago, advising him to
hasten to Phoenix and negotiate the
purchase and copyright of the picture,
with the result that the picture arrived
in Los Angeles Monday.
The painting was inspired by story
told the artist by old Hopi Indians,
among whom he spent about two years.
The story goes that once the Hopi
tribe dwelt in the underworld entirely
but finally quarrels broke out among
them, and those who preferred peace
led by a young chief named MAGNETIC,
decided to go to the upper world.
The chief planted a tree upon which
grew a large, sharp spike; the tree con-
tinued to grow until it pierced the crust
of the earth, then, led by their young
chief. the people climbed through the
branches and emerged upon the top OF
the ground just as the virgin sun was
peepng over the Grand canyon.
The picture shows Machetto and his
suuaw, who is seated near where he
stands and both gazing in dumb Won
der at the magnificent scene before
them.
The painting will be taken to San
Francisco soon, and from there most
probably to the Institute of Art al
Chicago, and will eventually hang in
President Ripley's offices at Chicago.
