FOR PORTO RICO
SENATOR AGREES TO INACTiON
UNTIL CONFEREES REPORT
ON TARIFF BILL.

Washington, July 10.-During a
session lasting nearly four hours the
Philippine tariff bill and the bill auto
matically continuing the Porto Rican

Alabama, declaring the intention OF
the United States eventually to grant
independence to the Philippines, was
opposed as being out of place on this
bill, and was rejected. Mr.. CuTbert-
son sought to limit the operation OF
the Porto Rican act OF July first, 1910.
but his amendment for that purpose
was defeated
The senate entered upon an agree
ment to adjourn three days at. time
until the conference report on the tar
if bill is ready for cons liberation ami
also not to enact any legislation when
it does convene.
The senate received an official an
nouncement of the death of Represen
tative Cushman and an adjournment
was taken at 3:45 out of respect to
his memory. The next session will
be held next Tuesday.

DRAWN INTO ROLLS
OF PAPER MACHINE
JOHN LAUBENHEIMER MEETS A
FRIGHTFUL DEATH AT
MARiNETTE.

Marinette, Wis, July 10.-His body
forced twice through nine-inch space
between the rollers of paper ma
chine, John Laubenheimer, a former
grocer and recently an employe OF
the Marinette & Menominee Paper
company, met horrible death.
The skull was literally crushed
from the front part of the head to the
base of the skull. A section of the
skull about two inches in diameter
was so badly crushed that it had to
be removed entirely. In addition to
the injuries to his head the mans
right thigh was fractured, his left
shoulder dislocated and his thorax
was crushed He died in a few
hours.
The mans clothing was caught in
the machinery and he was drawn into
the rollers. Before he could be re-
moved he had passed through the
rollers twice. There are few cases on
record where a workman in a paper
mill has ever suffered this experience
and did not expire almost immediate
ly.

A SUBJECT FOR PRAYER.

The late Lord Sackville, as all the
world knows, became persona non
grata to the government while he
was an ambassador to Washington
through expressing an opinion on
the political situation.
1T was through a mean trick that
Lord Sackville was led into this ex-
preston of opinion said a London
correspondent the other day" Once,
in describing the trick to me, he
compared himself to a country cler-
gyman, This clergyman he ex-
planned, was waited on one Sunday
morning by young man. will
you kindly ask the congregations
prayers this morning" said the
young man, for poor William
Smith, Willingly" said the cIer-
gyman. And at the proper moment
in the service he besought all those
present to pray earnestly. for the
unfortunate William Smith in the
great trouble that encompassed
him. That request, he was pleased
to note, made a deep impression on
the congregation. After the service
meeting the young man who had
asked for the intercession in Smiths
behalf, the clergyman said what
is the matter with your friend? Do
you think it would do any good if
were to call on him?'' I'm afraid

TEND TO
ABNORMAL TYPES
EVIL OF MODERN COLLEGE ATH-
LETics POINTED OUT BY
PRESIDENT SLocUM.

Denver, Colo, July 10.-''The time
has come when the glory of an athletic
battlefield is much more in evidence
than the intellectual and moral
achievement in the class room,' said
William F. Slocum, president of Colo
RADIO college, Colorado Springs, in his
address yesterday before the depart
ment of physical education of the Ma
tional Education association. There
are at the present time one or two
things which are seriously affecting
the physical training especially in our
colleges and universities, the influence
of which is also felt very directly in
our secondary schools" the speaker
declared This is the outcome very
largely of the intense competitive
spirit which has entered into the ath-
letic sports which are carried on
among American students. This COM
petition has become so fierce that it is
centering the interests of physical
education in preparing athletics for
contests rather than the development
of thorough intellectual scientific ply
steal culture for the larger number OF
young men and women.
1.-The great danger of the game OF
football as it is at present played be
tween our American colleges and Sec
ondary schools, is that it is not DOM
mated by a love of sport for it's own
sake 1t tends to produce an abnor-
NAL type of physical development SIM
ply for the purpose of intense compe-
tition. 1t does not produce neither
mental or physical normal conditions,
but rather abnormal. Mentally it
shows the same results as war and
pugilistic contests. At least this is
the predominating element of foot
ball as played at the present time on
the athletic fields of the country.
This is indicated by the fact that the
moment that the football season is
over the game disappears when one
side has won and another been de-
faated. The spirit and conversation
growing out of this game are similar
to that which one hears after two con-
tending armies have met on the bat
tlefeld, or two pugilists have met in
a fight.
'The escape from these conditions
will come by the development of
sport for it's own sake, as is the case
in English colleges and secondary
schools and by inducing practically ev-
cry student to have his own sport
which he learns 10 love for its own
sake. 1t will also come by acquired
physical culture on the part OF every
student and pupil who is not forced to
be excused for some special and good
reason growing out OF mental or
physical infirmities.

GOVERNOR PARDONS.
WILLIAM B. ANGELO
CONVICTED OF VIOLATION OF
ANTEPAsS LAW FOR TEST
CASE IN 1905.
Madison, July 10.

Madison, July 10.
Governor Davidson yesterday grant
ed pardon to w. B. Angelo of Plain
field, under conviction for violation. of
the anti-pass law but never sentenced.
The case originated in 1905 after
the passage of chapter 486 of the laws
of that year, the chapter being famil-
iarly known as the anti-pass law. At
the suggestion of several attorneys
the passage of this law, and after
discussion of its merits, it was decided
that the act was unconstitutional and
w. B. Angelo was induced to permit
it to be tried on him. He was at the
time attorney at Plainfeld for the
Wisconsin Central railroad also a
notary public for Wisconsin. He had
his pass provided by the company for
it's attorneys, and rode from Plain
field to Stevens Point. Arriving there
he informed the district attorney that
he had violated the law. The case
was then brought, friendly one, to
test the law, in Judge Webb'S court.
Mr.. Angelo was found guilty,-the
law held to be valid and at once the
situation became serious, for the pun
ishment was severe, term in prison.
Judge Webb, however, suspended SEN
tence indefinitely. However, Mr..
Angelo stood under conviction and to
clear the record application for the
pardon was made. Among those who
endorsed the application were, Judge
c. NJ. Webb, Senator A. w. Sanborn,
Senator F. w. Brazeau and others.
The case never reached the supreme
court.

TRAIN OUR GIRLS
FOR HOME LIFE

Denver, Colo, July 10.-"Our cities
are filled with miserable women, heart
sick men, and blighted homes, due to
a lack of instruction for girls in the
grammar and high school courses in
the fundamentals of home economics"
This was the statement made by Presi-
dent Cree T. Work, of the College of
Industrial Arts, Denton, Texas, in an
address at the National Education
association convention, yesterday. The
speaker, in the address, which was
delivered before the department of
manual training, pleaded for the more
general introduction into the public
related to home interests. President
Work recognized the desirability of
voca ional schools for women, but en-
phasized the idea that the courses in
such schools should also provide
thorough practical training in home
economics, because whatever the pres
ent ambitions and occupations of the
girls, they will some day have homes
to direct.
Our girls should know the how of
the art of housekeeping and home,
making at least fully as well as their
mothers, and the why a good deal
better" said the speaker. THE finan-
cial problems of the home and house
hold accounts must be studied A
practical acquaintance with the prob
Ions of housekeeping adds to the free
dom arl comfort of women and girls,
and also prepares them for taking
their part in safeguarding the home
against the imposi,ions of conscience
less commercial world. Through such
training time and opportunity are
gained for the all-impoItant intellect
al and social life of the home
THE training OF teachers, provision
for extension and demonstration work
in home economics, and the further in
PRODUCTION of industrial arts and
sciences into the curricula of our ele-
mentary and secondary schools, were
pointed out AS most impOr. ant steps
TO be taken for the preservation and
upbuilding of the American home

pies of these species in Dutch towns
which have withstood the ravages of
more than two centuries. The elm
appears to be the harder of these two
trees and will live under most adverse
conditions.
The Dutch municipalities expend
large sums each year for the preserva-
ton of their shade trees, but the re-
suits amply justify the cost of main
tenance. In the last year the city OF
Utrecht taxed each inhabitant FL
cents for its trees (21a Dutch cents
equaling an American cent?, and
The Hague spent % cents for the
same purpose.

a BIG COUNTRY.

The following is quoted from
recent prosperity speech OF a South
ern congressman:
HAS it ever occurred to you, Mr..
Chairman, that the cotton cloth
made in south Carolina annually
would make a sheet big enough to
cover the entire face of America
and Europe and lap over the toes
OF Asia.
COR, if all the cattle she raises in
each year were one COW, she could
browze on the tropical vegetation
along the equator, while her tail
switched icicles off the north pole,
and that her milk could float ship
load of her butter and cheese from
Charleston to New York?
Or. if all the mules we market
each year were one mule, it wound
consume the entire annual corn crop
of North Carolina at one meal and
kick the spots off the sun without
swelling its sides or shaking its
tail?
'tOr, if the hogs we raise annually
were one hog, that animal would
dig the Panama canal in three roots,
without ,grunting and its squeal
would be long enough to jar the CO.
coanuts off the trees along the canal
zone ?''-Cleveland Leader.

A CURIOUS TIBETAN RACE.

Commandant Ollone has returned
to France after two years in Tibet
in the northwestern part of which
he discovered a strange race, the
Hsifani. He say of them:
Though nominally under the suzer-
ainty of the Chinese emperor, they
have never been subjugated. In
contrast with the rest of Tibet the
land is generally fertile. Grass
grows almost everywhere and even
among the highest mountains 1some
10000 feet) the slopes are so gen
tie and regular that there are very
few places where man may not
ride on horseback. 1t is for this
reason that the Chinese have never
been able to subdue the Hsifani.
Having a social organization like the
clans of Scotland and being we'll
mounted on horses which are a
cross between the shaggy Mongol
and the finer Syrian stock, which
they ride with skill, they fight each
expedition which the empire sends
against them as the Beers fought
the British troops in the Transvaal.
Their stock-raising-sheep, horses,
in skins give them all they want to
live upon. They are very sober in
habit and practically live upon tea,
which they drink with melted but
ter and barley meal They win
their arms by their forays and will
ride several days and as far as
600 miles to surprise a caravan. Be-
sides the long lance. each man car
ries a gun of some kind or other
and Russian guns are becoming
common The Hsifani fit their guns
with a forked stand such as was
fitted to the eighteenth century mar
ket, and so are able to take good
aim. They live in tents and wear
no other clothing than sheep skins
in the rough sewn together. The
Chinese have been able to subdue
them only in the lower valleys,
where some of the tribes have built
villages.
"As for their religions and Gus
toms they are peculiar to the race
They have made a salad of sew
eral theologies. They practice SIM
ultaneously Buddhism, Brahmanisnl
and primitive religion not unlike
that of the ancient Greeks and early
Scandinavians worshiping the spir-
its of the four points of the COM
pass or of the mountains which lie
in such directions. Their chief deity
is the Anie-Matche, spirit of the
highest mountain of their country,
and they pray to him, cur ously
enough, both for good and for evil
actions For them he represents
strength; virtue is represented by
Buddha.''

HOW TO DESTROY ANTS.

An old housekeeper is authority
for the statement that ants of any
kind can be routed by the free use of
slack lime Sprinkle freely in the
places they frequent and they will
leave at once.
Another remedy for ants consists in
mixing a little tartar emetic with an
equal quantity of powdered sugar.
Put in saucer, moisten with water 70
cream and place where ants are
troublesome. If the water dries away
add more. This is said to be unfailing.
Garden ants can be driven away by
sprinkling ashes saturated with coal
oil about their .haunts. Another good
way is to locate their nests, place
quicklime at the mouth and wash down
with boiling hot water.

The dance, which followed the din

who included, besides the royal guests,
leaders of the political and social
