HEARS CURFEW Law PLEA
PRESIDENT FAVORS REGULA-
TON FOR THE DISTRICT.
Tells Delegation He Will Have {
Conference on the Subject With
tho Commissioners.

President Roosevelt received an urgent
appeal today for police regulations in
Washington providing for a curfew law
and other reforms. and he was SO much
impressed with the statements that he
told his callers-a delegation of ladies
from the INSTRUMENTATION Missionary
Union Of the District-that he would send
for the Commissioners OF the District this
afternoon and confer with them as to
what should be done.
Headed by Mrs. John n. Culbertson,
president Of the union. the delegation
consis.ing of Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis,
Mrs. Nellie Bradley. Mrs. S. D. LaFetra.
Mrs. Mary E. Ireland. Mrs. Samuel koo-
kogey, told the President that there
were crying evils in the District that
needed correction.
Girl Night Skaters.
The first Of these. the President was
told was a police regulation preventing
children from roaming the streets of the
city unattended after a reasonable hour
at night. They thought a curfew law
would be best and pointed to the fact
that young girls skate on the public
streets OF the city until after 10 O'Clock
at night.
The second evil was the Introduction OF
the barmaid system into the city we
feel that this will be the opening wedge
to the English barmaid system. and We
request you to urge a regulation that will
make 1t impossible
The third was a protest against sa-
loon In the Union station. and the fourth
is the demoraJizing influence of the
moving pictures as now presented by the
cheap theaters and also to their open
dissertation of the Christian Sabbath
The protest states that Rev. Zed H.
Copp and others have recently made visits
of Investigation to the moving picture
theaters, both week days and Sundays.
In one Of the theaters on a Sunday night
was a scene Of a girl and a man pla lying
cards. then smoking cigarettes. followed
by far more suggestive scenes that ought
not to be tolerated. all the suggestions be-
ing of an injurious nature to the minds
Of Young and old.

Scume and q Shot.


THE boy heard Macaboy ask Philip
where he was going. and the reply was
out. Macaboy demonstrated with him.
Then the elevator boy. as we will show.
heard a slight scufile. followed by shot.
He ran to the car and summoned the
hotel employees. who found Macaboy suf-
fering from q bullet wound over the heart.
A pistol was taken from the pocket of the
defendants coat. 1t was empty but two
cartridges were found in his pocket and a
blank shell in the corridor.
when asked by the police why he shot
Macaboy. Philip replied:
I shot him with blank cartridge.
ION the way to the hospital Macaboy
met policeman he knew and told him he
was shot and that he had done nothing to
provoke the assault. When Philip was
found by the police he was lying across
his bed. apparently asleep. When taken
to the station house he declined to make
a statement until he had consulted a
lawyer. Late the same afternoon Maca-
boy in fear OF imminent death made a
statement. which will be submitted by
the government as evidence.
The ante-mortem state by Macaboy.
which Mr.. Turner declared would be read
to the jury. is In part as follows:
There was no quarrel or alteration
between me and Phil. l said: Don't
shoot, Phil, and he replied:
"I'll shoot II I have to kill myself
II know that am a goner. and l only
hope somebody will take care Of my
mother"

WATER POWER

latter are. The biggest coal deposit
may be exIiausted. but so long a. the
mountains stand and the law Of gravi-
tation continues to operate. the power
stored in our streams will remain.
It Is a source Of wealtI, little con-
sidered until recently, but It Is one
which holds ont great promise for the
future in it's development. The fact
that nearly all avxilable sites at

kind have been developed in connec-
tion with mining where the mountains
are precipitious and transportation OF
fuel imprncticable. By erecting q
generating plant along valley stream
electricity can be conveyed by wire
to mines situated at a great elevation.
Different enterprises have been
formed to utilize the power of the
mountain streams in this way. not
alone to be employed in mining, but
also for use In cities and towns situat-
ed many miles away. 1t means
cheap power, cheap light, and prob
ably also cheap heat for the whole

be lost II the n is left out in
the barnyard four to six months.
Therefore. every load OF manure that is
left in the barnyard four to six months
is a dead loss OF $3.50. There was a
time when the farmer thought 1t vas
necessary to have the MANURE rotted
before hauling II. This is the greatest
mistake that the farmer ever made.
Manure should be hauled out as fast
as it is made, or at least nee a week.
Top dressing is coming into use very
rapidly. 1t has always been thought
hat IL vas well to top dress meadows,
and this has been done for years with
good results. There a always been
more or less Of a question as to the
advisability of top dressing corn. There
been a theory that IL the corn was
top dressed the corn root would come
to the surface to feed on this n
and from a theoretical standpoint 1t
looks as If this were true, but in actual
experience it does not work out in this
way. A series of tests have been made
by hundreds of farmers in Iowa, Min
nesota, the Dakotas, Kansas and Ne
braska which show that a greater yield
of from ten to fifteen bushels per acre
are gained by top dressing. Therefore,
theory must give way to actual expert

"Tex was singing the herd to sleep
writes Sharlot Hall in Out West: "half
a thousand long horns going up the trail
for Indian beef. Too small a drive to give
much trouble, but down across the sand
wash a local roundup had bedded their
stray herd and the steers were restless.
"A steer is Ike a child: he has a bad
dream, his mate across the way coughs
quickly. a prowling coyote puts up his
long nose and bowls through the grass
and the whole herd is up and plunging in
mad fright across the country.
THE roundup boys were over at the
camp of the trail outfit visiting around the
camp fire. Some one threw an armful OF
dry mesquite on the Goals. and thin whips
of flame sprang up, lighting the saddles
and blanket rolls and the weather beaten
faces of tho punchers. Tex was on the
far side of the cattle now-his voice came
down sifted into sweetness:
We loved each other then, Lorena,
More h we ever dared to tell; g
And what we might have been, Lorena,
Had but our loving prospered well!
"A puncher turned impatiently: Say,
some of you that can sing, tune up. I've
heard Lorena put them steers 10 sleep
all I can stand. I'll bet Lorena's bedded
down more cattle an milled more stam-
pedes than any song that ever struck The

are as follows: 3 .." r..
Last night as I lay on the prairie
And looked up to the stars In the sky,
/ wondered If ever a cowboy
Would drift to that Sweet Bye and Bye.
They say there will be a great roundup,
And the cowboys like dogies will stand,
To be marked by the RIDERS of Judgment,
Who are posted and know every brand.
I wonder was there ever a cowboy
All right for that great judgment day;
Who could say to the Boss of the Riders,
I'm ready, come drive me away?"
For they're all like the cows that are
locoed,
That stampede at the sight of a hand,
And are dragged with a rope to the
Or get marked with some crooked mans
brand
And I'm scared I will be a stray yearling,
A maverick, unbranded on high,
And get cut In the bunch with the rus
ties"

Electricity as Resurrection Force.

Paris Dispatch to the London Express.
A weird story is told today by NJ. de
Larmandie, a member of the French Au-
thors' society.
M. de Larmandie declares that three doc
tors of his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES whose
names, he says, are famous in the scien-
tific world, and whose veracity can in no
way be questioned-suceeeded recently IN
bringing the lead body of a young girl to
life. The girl died in hospital, and had
been dead for three hours. The doctors
affirm that she was dead. They worked
at the body for three hours, electrified it,
kneaded It In tepid water, burnt II with
sulphuric acid. brought 1t to a semblance
of life and made 1t speak. According to
NJ. de Larmandie, this is what the dead
girl said: II fell asleep last night at the
hospital in a very weak condition. The
priest had given me absolution, and as
fell asleep l felt that l vas dying. Grad
ually l seemed to waken slightly, and /
felt bitterly cold. All my life. seemed to
ebb into my heart, and my mind seemed
to nave got W a into a far-off corner of
my brain. The mind seemed 10 get
away from my body. l saw my body lying
pale and inert, ard although l had left it
/ knew it was icy cold. Then 1 heard
something like the sound of a distant or
gan. Suddenly something broke my mind
away from my body. 1t was like an in
finitesimal electric spark. / cannot de-
scribe It. Then my body became the bat
tlefield of an army of monsters who were
fighting for It.. l annot explain what l
mean at ALL" NJ. de Larmandie says that
the girl was in such a state OF excitement
when she was awakened that the doctors
gave her morphine to calm her. They gavo
her too much. and she died a second time.
