Idaho Omitted from SmoOt Bill.

Washington, April 15-Smoot's |
320-acre dry farming homestead bill
passed the senate today with Idaho |
omitted. Senator Hepburn recently |
agreed to have the bill am ended IN
several particulars and then moved to
have Idaho restored but changed his
mind and did not offer his amend
ments. Instead he objected to the bill
on the grounds that 1t would inter-
fere with the development of the gov
eminent and Carey act irrigation pro-
jects.
Senator Borah said he was in favor
Of the dry farming bill and that In
his Judgment Idaho should have been
included.
"My colleague is member Of the
public lands committee which had the
bill in charge" he said, "and his
Judgment being against including
Idaho he had our state stricken out.
| should like very much to have seen
daho included, but did not feel call
ed upon to 60 counter to the report
made by the committee affecting Ida
no upon the suggestion of my col
league. | sincerely believe the bill
a good one and that 1t gives sufficient
protection so as not to interfere with
the reclamation of Carey act projects.
These projects are operative only on
large areas of land and require
| vast amount of money to put them
into effect, while this bill Is designed
to cover small tracts of arid lands
where individual settlers may go and
make their homes. AS / understand
1t my colleague thought 1t might in
terfere with reclamation projects and
for that reason induced the commit
| tee to cut Idaho out. l did not de-
sire to raise question between my
colleague and myself on that propo-
| sition."
Representative French says as
soon as the Smoot bill reaches the
house he will have he public lands
committee restore Idaho to the bill
so that there may be dry farm home
steads in his state. Together with
other western congressman Mr..
French called on the speaker and re-
ceived assurances that an opportuni-
! ty would be given to consider this
bill at an early date. The speaker
further promised to aid in securing
| it's passage through the house. Rep
!, resentative French also has an as
surance from the speaker that he will
have an opportunity to call up the
senate bill granting Idaho an addi-
, tional 100000 acres under the
Carey act. If Reeder make fight
Mr.. French will insist upon vote
, and have the bills fate decided by
the house. To pass 1t he may have
to reduce the amount to 100000
| acres.

' pointed Otto Leuschel of Moscow as

ator Borah of his refusal to rein

WESTERN SHEEPMEN WILL
HOLD WOOL FOR RISE

Four thousand sheepmen, repre-
senting 100000 sheep of an ag-
gregate value of $S0,000,O00, are to
unite in the nature of protective
trust against the wool buyers OF the
east. This includes the sheepmen OF
Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Ne
yada, Colorado, Arizona and portions
of New Mexico. In fact, 1t will be In
the form of federation of western
sheepmen. Every sheepman In these
states will be asked by personal let
ter to hold his wool for higher prices
than now being offered by the wool
buyers. The movement was started
from the Office of the Wool Growers
association in Utah. A letter will be
gotten out to be sent throughout the
west informing the sheepmen OF the
value of uniting in their demand for
higher prices.
Huge warehouses, capable of hold
ing millions of pounds of wool, will
be erected at convenient points In the
west on the line Of the big railroads
to the east. At Omaha several Of
these storage houses will be bull
and at other places along the route
of the Union Pacific to Chicago ant
Boston the greatest wool markets o
the world.
Already many of the big sheepmel
of Idaho have expressed their Will
ingness to unite in the plan. Circu
lar letters to all the state sheepmen'
associations in the states mentione
have shown that the feeling Is unanl
nous among the sheepmen that the
are entitled to higher prices than tn
wool buyers have sigpifed their II
tention of paying.
A letter from the Idaho Woolgro"
ers' association has been received

sheep commissioners, in which tn
Idaho sheepmen express themselvt

WOMAN HODCARRIElR.
Mrs. Maud's Muscular Work In Chi
 cago Gets Her in Trouble.

Chicago has a woman hodcarrier, but she is temporarily on the job" of "toting" bricks and mortar up 12-foot ladder. Her name Is Mrs. Martin Maud, she is A years old and lives at lO5S Wrightwood avenue station at present, because she persisted in wear ing the jumpers and other male appar el that her fellow workmen wore.
 The fact that the manly looking wo- man who was carrying mud" on the building was a woman would probably never have been known had 1t not been for her unruly hair, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean
 Mrs. Maud was tripping up the lad der with a heavily laden bod when her hair, which had been coiled under her slouoh hat, started to fall down With a little screech she dropped the hod and grabbed for her falling tresses.
 Policeman Warner of the Sheffield avenue station, happened to be pass ing and, hearing her scream, ran oyer to the assistance of the "toter. To his surprise he discovered the hodcar- rler female,
 She tearfully acknowledged her sex She asserted that her husband had been dead for two years and that she had tried in vain to obtain other means of

PICTURES BY WIRELESS.
Remarkable Invention Is Made Prac-
 tical by Engineer.

F Another remarkable performance has been accomplished; one which in the interests of commerce will exercise far-reaching influence upon every phase of industry from the one-cent newspaper to the rapid detection of crime. This is the transmission by eth- ric agency of photographs, pictures Of all descriptions, handwriting and de- sgns-in short anything of an illus tratiye character.
 The invention which has been brought to stage of commercial prac- ticability, has been evolved by a young Danish engineer who has already many epoch h-marking discoveries to his cred it.. MT, Hans Knudsen, now resident in London. Both the transmitter and re- oeiver are mounted upon small hollow rectangular pedestals similar in ap- pearance to the sounding box of pho nograph and measuring only some two feet square These contain the coil, clockwork driving mechanism, coher CT and other electrical details and con nectons The lid of the boxes carry two small tables on which the plates are clamped, and which travel synchron- ously in two horizontal directions, lon- gltudinally and laterally. In this par ticular installation pictures up to five Inches In length by four inches in breadth can be handled, but there is no limit to its accomplishments In this connection since 1t is merely a matter of increasing the dimensions of the ta- ble to accommodate the size of the pie ture to be dealt with. Above the trav- cling table carrying the picture to be dispatched stretches a fine strip of pli able steel suitably supported at either end by adjustable screws From the center of this spring depends an in the downward pointing apex of which projects light lever carrying very fine steel point which travels over the surface of the picture on the travelling table. Above the base of this steel cone, and separated therefrom by a NBhCt iib bltbN'i tilhll liit ihlNhI'bS VI a piece of paper is an electrical con- tact Now, owing to the cone and it's needle being depended from the steel spring 1t Is always vibrating but not sufficiently so as to strike the electrical contact above. This is only accomplish ed when the needle. in passing over a raised portion of the picture which is specially prepared for the purpose, Is lifted to an appreciable extent. Then the contact is formed, the electrical connection Is established and the i'm pulse passes through the coil and the spark balls to the aerial and is dis patched on It's passage through the air to be received by an instrument which is simply a practical reversal of the sender.

learning trade or helping his par ents.
 As to moral training, tradition com mands pious Mosems to teach the boy of seven to say his Ave daily prayers, at the age of ten, If he omits them they are to admonlsh him by blows Boys are taught early the proprletles of conversation and behavior according to Oriental etiquet. They are also taught the ceremonial washings and tho correct pastures for devotions, But purity of conversation and truth arc seldom taught by precept and never by example.
 For liberal education the boy IS sent to one of the higher schools Tn tho centers of Moslen learning, such as Cairo, Bagdad or Damascus. Stu dents of medicine obtain a smatter- Ing of the natural science and then read Hypocrates and Avicena under their teachers. There Is no dissecting and no practical experiments are car rled on. Of course, none of the text books have illustrations. students or divinity pursue the following branch es of study: Grammatical Infection, syntax. logic. arithmetic. algebra, rhe- toric, jurisprudence, scholastic theol- ogy, commentaries on the Koran, exc gesls, and finally tradition with the commentaries thereon! Next to the Koran Itself. the Arabic language Is the most important center of the group of sciences; lexicology, acci- dence. derivation, syntax, meaning, el- oquence, prosody, rhyme, caligraphy, versncation. and prose-composition--- all these require separate study from special treatises; the result In this case Is a proud master grammarian who has no doubt that Arabic Is the language of the angels and the only speech of God.
 The profession of law exists only in a religious sense, but many pursue 1t for its rich emuluments, A single H. lustration will show how casuistry is dignhed into a science and at the same time will give a glimpse of the character of Moslem learning. The hand of a thief Is not to be cut of for stealing a book, because the ob- ject of the theft can only be the con tents of the book, and not the book itself But yet, 1t is to be observed, the hand is to be cut off for stealing an account book because in this case 1t Is evident that the object of the theft Is not the book, but the paper and material of which the book is made" When such statements are found in standard works on Moslem law (El Hidaya, volume 2, 92). one does not wonder that ignorance, bigo- try, pride and pedantry are the chief results of a purely Mohammedan lib- eral education.

the death Of Sir Robert Tankerlane,
which occurred two days after she
heir returned from Vienna for the
funeral, and her letter was answered
by telegram saying that he would
call on her at six o'clock the following

elements of success. But it is the
unexpected that often happens, and
even the strongest line of attack may
have some weak point The interview,
moreo over, was bound to be unpleasant
for she had no intention Of concealing
from Tankerlane what she thought
of his conduct.
He arrived, punctual almost to the
minute. and bowed srayely as he en-
tered the room. That was his only
salutation and Leonore did not even re-
turn this scant courtesy. She merely
rointed to seat, and settled herself
in an armchair She noticed that the
man had AGED considerably since she
had last seen him in Paris. and that
there were signs of suffering on his
hard features.
"Weu Leonore,'' he said, after an
awkward pause, "what is 1t you have

"I have a good deal to say" she re
piled "and some Of it will leave an
unpleasant taste In my mouth.
