IRISH OUTDO ENGLISH
IN PRONOUNCING "WHAT"

"Hwat' and Not the

1t will readily be appreciated that
one VIII take far more liberties with
his native speech than he will venture
upon the case of one which comes by
later acquisition While we must all
speak foreign tongues with a recog-
purist in his use of the unfamiliar me-
dunn. The same holds true of dialects
within q language; each aims to keep
as close as possible to the norm of the
speech as 1t existed at the time and
point of division. We have a valuable
example of that sort, of thing in a
widespread error as to the Irish speech
OF English. No Irishman, however.
illiterate, would ever dream OF sound
ing the pronoun what" other than Il
was intended to be sounded, "hwat."
Yet on the stage, and in works pur-
porting to represent the Irish sound
of words in the speech Of our common
inheritance. nothing is more common
than to see the foolish form "phwat"
There is a reason and a, simple one
The compound sound "hw' is not a

the wat" which is found even where
education has been cultivated. Truer

organs to conserve the true values of
each element of the compound Rec

LIVING FISH CONVEYED
TO REMOTE MARKETS
Industry in Sax0ny Is Being
Developed to a Very
High Degree

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-Consul
Thomas H. Norton of Chemnitz, in
corning the fish industry of Saxony,
says the industry is highly developed
and that the products of its carp ponds
are greatly esteemed, even outside that
kingdom:
The problem of conveying the living
fish for long distances to remote mar
kets has assumed considerable impor-
tance. For several years past fresh
water fish have been imported in casks
of water from various points to the
cities, at some considerable expense.
in the markets of Dresden. Chemnitz
and other cities and are naturally pre-
ferred to fish transported on ice. Liv-
Ing sea fish are also transported, to
less extent, in salt water tanks. They
are to be found thus far only in a few
of the larger cities.
The desirabi1ity of providing cheap
er means of transporting Saxon carp
to distant points reached by fIuvial
routes has led to the Introduction of
ingeniously devised river craft for the
feet long and Is feet wide. The in
terror is divided by partitions Into 80
compartments In the bottom and
sides of a scow. as well as in the in
ner partitions, cracks are left open. SO
that when floating in river there is a
continual circulation of fresh water.
The buoyancy of the wood composing
the craft allows the upper portion to
project slightly above the surface of
the water, and to sustain small cabin
for crew. These scows are fastened
together in pairs floating down the Riv-
er Elbe to Hamburg, and being towed
up stream to SaXony by steam tugs
Such a pair Of scows conveys a cargo
of 40 metric tons (44.1 short tons) of
living carp at but fraction of the ex-
pense involved in transportation by
rail, as It costs but a trife to trans
fer the fish from the great carp ponds
to the scoWs.
The city OF Hamburg demands very
large quantities of carp, especially in
the autumn, and this economical method
of bringing the living fish from the re-
mote breeding places will do much to
increase the demand. These craft
made the first journey down the river
during the month of September. Sim
ilar craft could possibly be utilized
with advantage on some of the larger
American rivers and on the great lakes
for conveying living fish to leading
American cities

Assailant Is Fired at, but Makes
Escape in Park in the
Dark

Struck down at the door OF his own
home. by thug who had rang the
front doorbell. Adolph G.. Trefz, a
grocer OF COZ Fourth avenue, was saved
from probable death at the hands of
tho robber by neighbor who put tho
thief to rout Three shots were fired
after the fleeing ruffian by r. Stolds-
void of 626 B street. who came upon
the scene at the time of the attempted
burglary.
Trefz was lured to the front door of
his home to answer a ring of the bell.
No sooner did he open the door than
he was struck on the head with a
heavy bludgeon. Trefz called loudly
for help, and his cries were heard by
Stoldswold.
The assistant of Trefz fed down the
stairs and ran toward Golden Gate
park Stoldswold gave chase and called
TO the fleeing man to stop. Just as
the thug was about to enter the park
stoldswold fired his revolver. The rob-
Der escaped in the park.
A report of the assault was made to
the police and Detectives Purcell and
De la Guerra were detailed on the case.
Owing to the darkness neither Trefz
nor Stoldswold were able to see the
man well enough to give the police a
good description. Trefz was not badly
injured, although his head was slightly
cut by the blow

OREGON SENATOR
CAUSE OF CLASH
Roosevelt and Hitchcock Lock
Horns Over Situation in
the North
President Strongly Favors the
Election of Chamberlain, Who
Won at Primaries
Especial Dispatch to The Call

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-President
Roosevelt and Chairman Hitchcock of
the republican national committee have
locked horns over the Oregon sena-
torial situation. They. have discussed
the subject several times and it has
proven productive of considerable irri-
tation.
The president desires George Cham
berlain, democrat, who won the pri-
mary, elected to the senate in place of
Fulton, republican. Hitchcock wants
Fulton reelected.
The Oregon Legislature is overwhelm-
ingly republican, but in the state wide
primary the majority of the Legislators
were instructed to vote for Chamber
lain. A majority of the law makers
in advance pledged themselves to vote
for whomsoever the people should des-
ignate.
For several weeks the friends of Full
ton have been trying to induce the re-
publicans TO repudiate their pledges
and elect Fulton. They received Sc
we're setback when Governor Chamber
lain came to Washington a short time
ago and called on the president. Roose-
welt greeted him as governor and SEN
ator to be- and told him that he ought
to be elected and doubtless would, that
the people had so instructed under the
states law, and that the law ought to
be obeyed.

CONGRESSMAN AND
BRYAN IN DISPUTE
Ben F. Caldwell Writes Sharp
Letters to Defeated Demo-
cratic Leader
Correspondence TO Be Aired in
Newspapers and Bitter Con-
trOversy Started

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Jan. "a bitter
controversy IS on between Congress
man Ben +. Caldwell, democrat of this
district and William Jennings Bryan.
Bryan declined to make the speech for
Caldwell in this district In 1905 and
was quoted as saying Caldwell was
trying TO ride two horses" In the
recent campaign Caldwell pledged his
support TO Bryan. but after Bryans
third defeat for the presidency Cald-
we'll again wrote Bryan declaring that
with your defeat I hope that Bryan
ism and its two very near relatives
populism and socialism-are forever
removed from the democratic party.
Bryan in a brief note to Caldwell
said CaIdwell's letter was important,
coming from so prominent a repre-
sentative of the plutocratic element :
Bryan suggested that Caldwell havs
his (CaldweWs) letter published IN
local papers. All these letters will so
appear tomorrow morning Congress
man Caldwell supplements his previous
correspondence with another letter he
NAILED to Bryan tonight in which be
