Upon the testimony Of his father Will
liam Weaver. jr., was convicted yesterday
in Police Court Of stealing clothing worth
$40, belonging to the father, from their
home several days ago. He was COM
mitted to jail for three months in de-
fault OF $50 fine.
To a second charge Of disorderly con-

was added to the first sentence.
The Weavers live at 424 o street north

Matters came to a climax Friday

BAY DREDGING OPENS SOON.
Oysters Can Be Pulled From Bot
tom Beginning Next SATURDAY..

While the oyster dredging on the Po-
tomac, and on other tributaries of Chesa-
PEACE bay Is in full swing, the natural
oyster beds in Chesapeake bay are yet
closed to dredgers.
One week from today, however, the
season on the bay opens. From that time
until next April the taking of oysters by
the dredge boats will be legal.
Reports from oyster-bearing grounds
in the bay state that the supply is larger
than it has been for years, and the quail
ity Of the stock cannot be surpassed 1t
season will be record breaker both in
the size of the catch and in the quality
Of the oysters brought TO market
When the dredging season on the bay
opens large proportion of the big fleet
Of dredge boats now operating in the
lower Potomac will go to the Chesapeake
beds. Harbors down river now crowded
with dredgers will be relieved of con-
gestion.
The introduction Of the gasoline en-
CINE is one Of the most important changes
made in the oyster dredging industry on
Chesapeake bay. This type of engine
is now used in operating the dredge wind
ers. which In past years We're operated
by hand.
The gasoline engine is looked upon as
idpoI-sdVIl6 oesice. w mere II formerly
required eleven men in the crew of a fair
sized dredging vessel. the work with the
gasoline engine Is now accomplished with
one-third the men, which. considering the
high price of good men, is an economy
now necessary in the business.
II the dredging industry had to be
conducted under the old system of wind
ers. then. under the present law, known
as the Shanghaiing law, the busine So
would have to be abandoned on all vessels
over fifteen tons. as 1t now costs from
81 to 50 apiece to ship a crew
Many of these men come from
other cities and incur debts while waiting
to be engaged, all Of which must be paid
by the captain before he can secure his
crew. and, according to the law, ne can
not exact from the men one cent of their
wages"

ried on so quietly that few have

a distance of one hundred and nine
miles, railroad train made it's first
run from Miami to Knight Key, Flor
ida. Forty-fve miles more and the
remaining gap to Key West will be
finished, and from there the trains
will be carried by boat to Havana,
which is almost in sight. Then the
great cities of the United States will

efcial to the entire country and in

Hon. John j. Jenkins for
Congress.

A Republican candidate in this,
the Eleventh Congressional District
of Wisconsin, is to be placed in
nomination at the primary election
to be held in September next, and
Hon. John J. jenkins, of Chippewa
Falls, the present able Representa-
tive from this district is an aspirant
for the position.
The Journal has no FAX to grind, I"
and we are therefore prompted by
what we believe to be the best in
terests of the people of the district
to urge the denomination of Mr..
Jenkins. His thirteen years of con-
tinuous service in Congress, coupled
with his ability and efficiency, has
won for him an influence in that
body of which his constituents will
do we'll to avail themselves. No
new man, however great his powers
of constructive craftsmanship, can
reasonably be expected to render to
the district nearly as valuable SER
vice as is within the power of Mr..
jenkins to give. It is only by long
years of Congressional service that
any member can reach an influential
position IN that body, and our Re-
preventative having passed the pro-
stationary stage, now holds the chair
manship Of one of the two most i'm
portant committees of the House,
besides high rank in several other
committees.
AS matter of justice to them
selves the people of this district
should retain the services of an ex-
perienced and influential Congress
man, rather than retire him to give
place to another wholly without ex-
perience in Congressional legis1a-
ton, and one who could hope to
gain the influence possessed by the
present member only after years of
service. His constituents can con-
fer no additional honors upon Mr..
Jenkins, but they can benefit by his
continued service in Congress, and
will best serve their own interests
bV doing so,

they could prevent the nomination
of man in sympathy with his poll

he can still show them their mistake.

We have received from Mr.. T. w.
Teasdale, the General Passenger
Agent of the Chicago, ST. Paul, Min
neapolis and Omaha R'y, very in
teresting book which gives the
origin of the names of the towns
and counties reached by the North
Western lines of railroad. The book
occupies unique position and is
the result of much hard labor and
research. River Falls, Pierce
County, Wisconsin, was started in
1849 and was known as Greenwood,
until 1858, when the present name
was adopted from the falls in the
Kinnickinnic River on which it is
located. The river is named erom
an Indian word that means a mix
ture of tobacco and the bark of the
red willow or other Snrubs, or the
bark of the shrubs without any adj
mixture of tobacco. In either case
the Indians were fond of smoking in
their pipes the substance they
named by this word"

The President has once more
struck the keynote of exact justice.
In his latest special message to
Congress he denounced the boycott
and the blacklist. He deprecates
the demagogue and the agitator.
Then he says, "But his counterpart
in evil is to be found in that partic-
ular kind of millionaire who is al
most the least enviable and is GER
tainly the least admirable, of all our
citizens; a man of whom it has been
we'll said that his face has grown
hard and cruel while his body has
grown soft; whose son is fool and
his daughter a foreign princess;
whose nominal pleasures are at
best those of tasteless and extrava-
giant luxury, and whose real delight,
whose real life work, is the accumu-
lation and use of power in its most
sordid and least elevating FORM"

that the President was beaten in his

thoughtful observer will realize
otherwise. He will see that out of
the fight has come a pledge by the
Senate leaders to provide for two
battleships every year until the navy
is commensurate with the country
needs. The President would far
rather have the Senate committed
to two battleship policy continu-
ously than to have gained four ships

An "alumnus" of the River Falls
Normal School takes occasion IN a
letter to the Journal to disparage
the present standing of the school,
and intimates that the blame lies
with the president. Probably the sig
nature "alumna" would more nearly
disclose the identity of the anonym-
Gus writer-the article is verbose,
rambling and illogical. 1t shows
plainly enough the spiteful intent OF
the author, who evidently never
benefited by the example of Pres.
Briefs clear, luminous and well
chosen English, or even proflted
