There appears to be a revival of
ferocity among some of the more
fanatical peoples of Asia. Following
the stories of murder and destruction
by Moslems in Armenia are reports of
massacre of 1000 persons by Turco-
man tribesmen DIT Astrabad, Persia. 1t
is most sincerely to be hoped that the
accounts may prove exaggerated, al
though the atrocities perpetrated by
the Turcomans on other occasions
leave room for the worst apprehen-
sions.

Negro Hanged To Pole.

Pine Bluff, Ark. - ignoring the
threats of Judge Grace of the JEFF
ferson county circuit court, as he
called them by name and pleaded with
them to spare the life of Lovette Da-
Wis, IA negro, and let the law take it's
course, 300 determined employees O.
the Cotton Belt shops here hanged
Davis to a telephone pole. Davis en-
tered the home of H. Knowlton Pad
gett, a Cotton Belt conductor, during
his absence and attacked Miss Amy
Holmes, Padgett's 16-year-old niece,
who was alone and asleep in her bed
room. The lynchers made no effort
to conceal their identity.

If bill now pending before the New
York legislature becomes a law the
chronic drunk will be shipped to a
farm colony, with an inebriate hospital
attached, where he can be scientifical-
ly treated and at the same time be
made to work for his board. The plan
is the outgrowth of the resentment of
Bellevue hospital in having to treat
the same old topers over and over
again, and of the weariness of charity
organizations in dealing with them. 1t
is a good scheme, for in all this tenn
perance movement the man who hab-
itually gets drunk and makes a beast
of himself should not be overlooked.
And there is some reason to believe
that the chronic drunkard will not i'm
mediately pass out of existence even
in dry communities.

Systematically cheated out of millions

pany profited enormously by the

gorging over $2,000,000 in loot, and
the unavoidable conclusion is that
some comparatively high placed of

compelled the restitution agreement it
was attested that these now indicted
company weighcrs or checkers got
more money in their pay envelopes
than was marked on the outside. That,
it would appear, was their little share
of the swag. The company got the
millions.
Now somebody higher up in the
company corrupted these dock work
men-that inference is scarcely avoid
able. The public wants to know and
the department of justice means to
find out the principals in this system
of sneak thieyery from the govern

American sailor is under arrest at

captain that he helped Mrs. Belle Gun

The Panama Canal.

The opening of the Panama canal
will mark date of the highest impor.
tance in the hitory of the world.
Whether the work of construction is
to cost the United States 6 35 600, 900
for lock canal or double that sum
for a sea-level canal, the money will
have been well spent. The canal will
give the United States, for practical
purposes, a continuous coastline from
the state of Washington to Maine, By
digging waterway so miles in length
the United States WILL in fact, double
the effectiveness of its navy without
increasing it's numerical strength.
Commercially the effects of the canal
will be equally far-reaching. Despite
tendency toward closer political and
social relations, the United States and
South America have remained in mat
ters of trade on comparatively distant
terms. Especially is this the case
with those communities that lie be-
tween the Andes and the Pacific
ocean. New York is as remote by sea
from Valparaiso az Liverpool or Ham
burg. The Panama canal will bring
them thousands of miles closer-Lon-

NICARAGUA AND j.
s. SIGN PROTOCOL
LONG PENDING EMERY CLAIM
WILL BE SUBMITTED TO
ARBITRATION
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF CLAIM
Nicaragua Annulled Concession
Granted for Cutting Mahogany
Because of Alleged Violation
of Its Provisions.

Washington, d. CA protocol for
submission to arbitration of the
Emery claim has been signed with
representatives of the Nicaragua gov
ernment at the home of Secretary OF
State Knox.
In the protocol is a provision that
during four months from this date the
representatives of Nicaragua will have
the opportunity to endeavor to reach
a defnitive settlement of the claim
directly with the company subject to
the approval of the government of the
United States. Failing in such set
tlement the course of arbitration will
begin at the expiration of the four
months.
Description of Claim.
The claim, which has been long
pending, arose out of the annulment
by Nicaragua of a concession granted
for cutting mahogany because of an
alleged violation of its provisions.
About two weeks ago Pedro Gonzales
arrived in Washington as a special
messenger from President Zelaya of
Nicaragua, to settle the claim either
by compromise or by arbitration. Soon
after Secretary Knox came into office
he sent to Senor Espinoza, Nicaragua
minister here, communication gen
orally regarded as an ultimatum,
whereupon President Zelaya an
nounced the appointment Of Senor
Gonzales as a special ambassador to
settle the claim. In receiving Senor
Gonzales on May II last, President
Taft said to him at the White House
In part
In performing the acts which con-
stitute your mission | need not assure
you that you will be received by this
government with that equitable and
kindly disposition which has always
characterized the attitude of the
United States towards Nicaragua, and
which, coupled with mutual trust, sin
cerity and regard for justice is the
only sure ground of continued rela
tions."

MONEY IN EGGS.

There has not been a season for
many years when the prices of eggs
have held up as they have recently.
In July and August it is not usual for
the farmer to receive thirty cents

OF the prices of eggs that are assorted
and packed in boxes for fancy trade.
The large crops of grain and potatoes
that are being raised this year over

Here is prize receipt for dainty
plum pudding. so-called because it
contains all OF the goodies but the
plum:
One and one-half cupfuls Of granu-
lated sugar, one-half cupful of soft
butter; cream together and add one
cupful of sweet milk two and one:
fourth cupfuls of pastry flour, one
teaspoonful of baking powder, pinch
of salt and one teaspoonful of vanilla
and almond mixed. Lastly fold in the
stiff whites of five eggs. Have ready
one cupful of currants, choice seeded
raisins, thinly sliced citron and chop
ped pecan nuts. Mix with the dough
and pour into a buttered mold and
steam three hours. Serve in slices
a generous helping of honey sauce
made as follows:
Whip on pint of cream stiff and
flavor with almond; then whip into it
one pound of white comb honey. Make
several hours before using, so 1t will
be cold and hard. A tablespoonful OF
granulated gelatin should be added
to the cream. A square loaf cake pan
is the best for steaming the pudding
in as it can then be cut in nice slices
