THE CHAPERON.

After long debates in the London
press significant of an impending crisis
the English girl was officially liberated
from the chaperon in 1900. when for
the first time in London ''high life -

Three main causes of this revolution
have been indicated: The growth of
feminine independence, the modern
scientific regeneration of the matron,
disinclining her to play the foil to
natural youth, and the great American
example English writers on the sub
ject have always assumed that this
country is as hostile to chaperons as TO
kings, yet an inquirer, scanning the
Washington or New York court cir
culars will see no ground for the as
sumption. By "little irony" of in
ternational influence, leaders and dis
ciples have in this case changed places,

cousin, must know that her guide has

cERvERA AND cHIvALRY.

Officers of the United States Navy,
eral, have followed the reports of the
illness of Admiral Cervera with min
gled feelings of sympathy and regret.
No Spanish officer emerged from the
War of 1898 with stronger hold upon
the admiration of his country's adver-
saries than Admiral Cervera. His
martyrdom to an inefficient bureaucra-
cv, which sent him to sea with wholly
inadequate ships; his courage and Self
devotion in trying to take his Inflated
squadron out of Santiago harbor; his
chivalrous treatment of Richmond
Pearson Hobson and other American
prisoners, and his noble demeanor
while a prisoner of war in the United
States, revived the noblest traditions
of Spanish fortitude, magnanimlty and
gallantry. When Captain Moreu, of
the Spanish cruiser the Cristobal Colon,
was in New York he was interviewed
by a reporter who, in the excess of his
patriotism, put this rather indicate
question to the vanquished naval of
fcer, "What do you think, Captain
Moreu, of the chivalry of a nation
whose women greet the admiral of
hostile power with kisses and flow
erss'' reference to the way Admiral
Cervera was lionized by American
women on his way to a military prison.
The bluff, old captain of the Colon,
who spoke English fuently, lifted his
eyebrows, and, smiling indulgently,
politely replied: "And what do you
think of an admiral who could draw
your brave Hobson from the water
and kiss him in admiration of his
courage9 Remember, young man, chi.
valry is the monopoly of no nation. -

Walter Dilling ham, head of the Ha-
waiian Dredging Company, which has
the contract for dredging the Pearl
Harbor channel and inner basin for the
Navy Department, did not sop in San
Francisco, but went on to Washington,
and may return in the Manchuria The
delay of the government in getting the
big end of the appropriation against
which the dredging company made its
bid for the big dredging job, caused
Mr. Dillingham; to take this hurried
trip to the seat of the national govern
ment. The dredging company bid on
100000 job, and only about $780,
600 is available or in sight. The com
pany had to start dredging at certain
time, but cannot go into the matter on
a large scale on account of the appar-
ent uncertainty in securing the whole
appropriation.

Suicide Not in Line of Duty.
The War Department has decided
that the death of Lieut.. John J. ,Ioller,
sth Infantry, was not incurred in-the.
line of duty That officer was on
leave of absence at the time he killed
himself. An officer, whether absent
with leave or without leave, is held
to be outside of 0uty status. An
officer on leave who commits suicide
clearly does so outside the line of duty,
it is held, unless it can be shown that
his self-infiicted death was the result
of condition of insanity which arose
while the deceased was on a duty
status. There was no allegation of in
sanity in the case of Lieut. Moller. In
the case of an enlisted man who com
mitted suicide, it appeared from the
medical reports that the death of the
soldier was due to dementia contracted
l.
In that ease the death was considered
to have been in the line of duty.

POLITICAL ACTIVITY
OF 0FF|CE.H0LDERS
Special Committee Files Report Of
Its Findings After Investigation
Of Newspaper Charges.
Charges Are Sustained in Part a
Notable Exception Being the Al
legations That Roosevelt Co
creed Office-hoIders Into Sup
port of Taft.

New York.-The report of the spe
cial committee appointed for the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform league to
investigate the political activity on
the part of office-holders, was made
public Sunday April 4. The conclu
sions of the committee briefly stated
are that charges made by certain
newspapers to a great extent, are sus
tanned A notable exception is re
ported in the allegations that Mr.
Roosevelt coerced certain federal OF
fice-holders into the support of Mr.
Taft for the Republican nomination.
The committee finds that evidence
to sustain the charges made is Who'll
ly lacking On the contrary. Mr.
Roosevelt is credited with advancing
civil service reform by so amending
the civil service rules as to prohibi
employees in the competitive service
from taking part in political cam
paigns.
On the broad question of office-hold
ers pernicious activity in politics
however, the committee finds that q
most undesirable situation exists. Oh
the more than 100000 general Office
holders one-third are not amenable tC
civil service classification. These of
ten exercise a powerful influence in
politics and constitute, in the opinion
of the committee, a menace to free
institutions
The remedy is to be found. the com
mittee believes, in extending the
classified competitive service and a
clearer definition of the executive or
der governing political activity in the
unclassified service.

RANCE WAR IN
BIC HORN COUNTY
Two Prominent Sheep Owners of
Wyoming Murdered in the Night
by Masked Raiders.
Employees Of Murdered Men Are Told
to Leave the Country and Not Re-
turn Under Threat of Death,
After Which the Wagons
Are Fired.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Another chapter
to the bloody range war between the
cattlemen and sheepmen for control
OF the range for grazing was written
in Big Horn county late on the night
of April g. According to information
just received here, fifteen masked
horsemen raided the camp of Allie
mand and Emge and murdered in cold
blood Joe Allemand and Joe Emge,
wealthy and prominent sheepmen.
and Joe Lazier, herder.
Allemand and Emge had located
their camp at the mouth of Spring
creek, fifty miles southeast of Basin,
where they were guarding 1900 sheep.
The raiders came upon the wagon on
the south side of the creek in which
two herders were sleeping. These
told to leave the country, and not
look back under threat of death.
A volley fired into the wagon on
the opposite side OF the stream result
ed in the death OF Emge and Lazier
Evidently Allemand was reused by
the approach of the raiders, as his
body was found fully twenty feet from
the wagon, where he had been cut
down by rifle ball. The wagon had
been soaked in oil and fired. About
thirty sheep were killed
All telephone wires were cut and
news OF the affair did not reach
Basin until Tuesday morning.
Allemand Is an old-time sheepman.
Emge was formerly cattleman, re-
Gently entering the sheep business.
There Is great Indignation through
out the Big Horn country. The Big
Horn Sheep Growers and the State
Wool Growers associations have each
offered $1,000 reward for the capture
OF the raiders. and this will probably
further be increased by the state au-
thorities.
