WE MUST PROTECT
OUR WATER POWER
CLIFFORD PINcHoT SAYS THAT
MONOPOLY is FORMING TO
CONTROL THE SITES.
CONGRESS SHOULD GET BUSY
Will Have to Deal With Question of
Disposition of Vast Areas of Coal
Lands in the West, but Prin-
cipally In Alaska.

Washington, d. C.-Unequivocall
asserting that monopoly is now in
process of formation whose object is
to obtain possession of the water pow
er sites of the country, Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the bureau of forestry,
who returned from an extended inspec-
tion in the west, declared that RENE
dial legislation must be enacted at the
coming session of congress If this
great natural resource is to be pre-
served to the people.
The problem of how best to prevent
the nations water power sites from
being gobbled up by such combina-
tions, Mr.. Pinchot predicted, will be
one of the biggest issues which the
next session of congress will have
to thresh out. While he stated that
the alleged trust is now only in the
formative stage, Mr.. Pinchot declared
that prompt action on the part of con-
gress is necessary to throttle it. Up
on the proper solution of this question,
the future happiness of great many
people rests, he said.
Looming up as another big problem
which will confront congress will be
the question of the disposition of vast
areas of coal lands in the west, but
principally in Alaska. Il is important
that congress should take prompt ac'
ton on this important matter, Mr.. Pin.
chot said, for the protection of the
country's fuel supply and also to pre-
vent monopoly in that product.
Any doubt that may have existed as
to whether Mr.. Pinchot would continue
| to advocate the policies for which he
has fought so hard, was set at rest
| by him. AS result of his western
tour he is as fully determined as ever
to continue his policies regarding the
| conservation of the country's natural
resources and the great national forest
reserves. Not only did Mr. Pinchot
assert that President Taft is thorough
| ly imbued with the conservation move
ment but he declared that the people
of the country are now more complete
| ly aroused over the matter than al
any previous time. President Taft
Mr.. Pinchot said, has expressed him
self in favor of conservation com
mission, and added that he was alst
in accord with that suggestion.

WIFE SAVES HUSBANDS LIFE
Man and Had Broken Three
of His Ribs.

Chardon. O.-Charles Russell, a.
farmer near Fullerton, Geauga coun--
ty, who was attacked by bull, owes.
his life to his wife. She went to his.
rescue at her own peril and drove off
the animal with pitchfork. Russell
was leading the bull across the barn
yard when it rushed him. With one
lunge it closed the length of the lead
ing strap and butted Russell to the.
ground. Then, believing, it bent to-
gore him. Russell took hold of the
ring in the bulls nose with both hands
and twisted it so that the animal miss
ed it's blow. He chung to the ring and
the bull began dragging him around
the barnyard.
Mrs. Russell got pitchfork and
rammed the long tines repeatedly into
the beasts fianks before she succeed
ed in diverting it's anger from her hus-
band. Floyd Mansfield, neighboring
farmer, seized the leading strap as
Russell, exhausted, let go the bull
ring, and, aided by Mrs. Russell,
steered the animal into the barn )and
slammed the door. Russell had three
broken ribs.

MAN MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
Falls From Upper Floor of Skyscraper
and Lands on Spiked Fence
Body Torn to Pieces.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Falling from one
of the upper floors of a skyscraper
office building near Broad and Chest
nut streets Robert Bradbury, &C, met
a horrible death in sight of hundreds
of spectators. Mystery surrounds the
cause of the fall. When he attracted
the attention of spectators by his
screams he was rapidly falling through
the air in the rear of the 'uilding on
a small thoroughfare known as Watts
street.
When he finally landed on a spiked
fence his body was literally torn to
pieces. 1t is not known from which
of two buildings, both of them more
than 20 stories high, he fell. His son
believed the fall was accidental as his
father was a sufferer from heart trou-
BILE and frequently had fallen from his
chair.

The New Society Walk.

1t is sincerely hoped that the new
walk indulged in by several of the
younger members of the smart set
will not be generally adopted. 1t is
certainly neither thing of beauty nor
a joy forever. In fact, it is distinctly
awkward, and it's only interest can lie
in the idea that it attracts attention.
This 1t does, and, unfortunately, for
this reason, 1t is being copied by the
sensation mongers. Frankly, 1t is the
exact gait of the Japanese geisha girl
Why, then, is it necessary for the
well-bred and supposedly refined
American girl and younger matron to
initiate women of this type? For. this
latest fad originated with one of the
acknowledged leaders of the inner
circle of the fashionable world, and is
being copied by her coterie, as well
as the hoi-polloi who delight in any.
thing for novelty.

New York World Publisher.

Vienna.-Albert Pulitzer, a brother
Of Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of
the New York world, committed
suicide in this city. 1t was evident
that he made doubly sure of death,
for all the indications pointed to the
fact that he had first swallowed poi
son, and then, standing in front of a
mirror, had sent a bullet from a revol-
yer through his right temple. An
empty poison bottle lay, on the table
in Mr.. Pulitzer's room.
Physicians have been treating Mr..
Pulitzer for neurasthenia, from which
he suffered for many years.
Joseph and Albert Pulitzer have
been estranged for some years past.
Albert Pulitzer was the founder of the
New York Morning Journal. He had
spent most of his time in Europe
since 1896 until two years ago, when
he went to New York and announced
his intention of starting newspaper
in that city. The project was not put
into effect and Mr.. Pulitzer returned
to Europe.

over the pulpit and said: "And could
you do that, Mr. Murphy?" Murphy

The Industrial and commercial situa-
tion, as a whole. at the beginning of

The southern trade, it is reported, is

The chief flaw in the situation is to be
found in the high prices which serve
to check operations in some direction,
and are conservative influence. Bus
mess in steel rails is expanding.

POSTMASTER TOOK COIN
LOSS OF THE MONEY WRECKED
MIND OF FEUDlST.
Old West Virginia Fighter, Who Died
In Prison, Poisoned Wife While
In a Fit of Insanity.

Washington, ID. CA story, tragic
In its details and romantic in its senti-
ment, has been disclosed by postoffice
inspectors regarding Harrison Hatfield
of the family of feudists of that name,
who died recently in the penitentiary
at Moundsville, w. Va. The narrative
is of the loss by Hatfield of S2,S54, of
the recovery of part of the amount,
of the murder of Mrs. Hatfield by her
husband in a fit of insanity caused by
the loss of his mPney and Of the cir
cumstances which finally brought to
an end the career of one of the most
remarkable feudists in the history of
the country
Harrison Hatfield lived near Horse
pen in the mountains of West Vir-
ginia. He was widely known as "Old
Hatcher" and was leader of the
Hatfields in the McCoy-Hatfield feud,
which amounted almost to civil war
and disrupted several counties on the
borders Of West Virginia and Ken
lucky.
"Old Hatcher" deposited $2,S54 in
the Guyan Valley bank at Logan, w.
Va. Subsequently, having need of the
money, he authorized Alexander H.
Trent, postmaster at Horsepen, to di-
rect the bank to forward to him the
money by registered mail. Hatfield
called at the postoffice repeatedly for
the registered letter, but when it ar
rived on April "a, 1907, he had left
the Office only short time before to
assist an intoxicated friend who could
not sit astride his mule alone. Hat
field had directed Postmaster Trent to
take special care of the letter, lest it
be destroyed by fire in the postoffice.
Early the following morning the post
Office was destroyed by fire, the con-
tents of the safe alone being saved.
Hatfield's letter was not in the safe.
Postmaster Trent said he had put the
letter with the ordinary mail all of
which was burned. An investigation
of the fire and of the disappearance of
| the letter was made by postoffice in
spectors. 1t was discovered that Post
master Trent had obtained a type
writer from a Chicago concern by
fraudulent representations, to which
he confessed. Later, Postmaster Trent
and his father were indicted for hav-
ing stolen the registered letter.
Postmaster Trent finally confessed
to the theft and made propositions
looking to the refunding of the money.
He produced from a jar hidden under
his barn the sum of $1,2S0. which. with
$500 obtained from his bondsmen,
eventually was turned over to Hat
field. Trent was convicted of the
crime, but escaped from jail and is a
fugitive from justice. Becoming in
sane from worry over the loss of his
money and the sudden clation at the
recovery of considerable part of it,
Harrison Hatfield poisoned his wife,
who was an Indian. He was sentenced
to the penitentiary for life and there
he died only a few days ago.

money and influence at the command
of the Anti-Saloon league, is expected
to be one of great bitterness. The

end of series of raids in which ten
Circleville residents were arrested on

Young Woman Who Had a Quarrel
With Her Lover Has Her Head
and Breast Torn to Pieces.

Paris, France.-A young woman COM
mitted suicide in frightful manner
here. Having had quarrel with her
lover, who is a lion tanner in theatre
in which three lions are introduced
during the course of melodrama, the
woman went behind the scenes and
thrust her arm into the cage.
The animals were wild with rage
and with a few blows of their claws
tore her head and breast to pieces.
The woman's fearful screams and the
roars of the animals caused panic
among the audience, and the flre-proof
curtain had to be lowered.

HURTS THE MARRIAGE AGENT
Decision of French Court Is a Distinct
Blow to Lone-Recognized
Institution.

Having successfully brought off a
match, Partisan matrimonial agent
claimed his fee from the bridegroom,
which had been fixed beforehand at
500. But the customer, who had been
willing enough to promise, was more
than slack to fulfill and the agent
went to law. His suit, however, has
proved of no profit to him. The court
was virtuously shocked when it heard
the terms of the contract between
plaintiff and defendant and in high in
dignation declared it null and void on
the ground of immortality. "Foras-
much as the consequence of such a
contract must be to cause the go-be-
tween to drop all consideration of the
suitability of the projected union and
to envisage only the fulfillment of the
condition upon which the payment OF
his remuneration depended" In other
words, the agent does not care a rap
whether the pair lead n cat-and-dog
life forever after, provided he touches
his feet. The argument is one which
must probably have occurred before
now to any one who patronized a
matrimonial agency.
The decision of the court is finely
worded, but legal writer points out
that it is too general in it's terms. 1t
might just as well apply to house
agent as to a matrimonial agent. Does
the man who finds you a fat so long
as he gets his fee, care any more how
you like it when you live in it than
the man who finds you wife cares
how you get on with her after the
wedding? Yet the court will compel
you to pay the man who found you
your fiat and dismiss the 500 claim
of the plaintiff who got defendant q
wife. The loss of the action is seri
GUS blow to matrimonial agents. They
will have in future to do business
only for a cash deposit with order
and must give up the cash-on-delivery
system which attracted customers.

GAS ExPLODES IN COAL MINE
At Least Eight Men Were Killed and
Three Perhaps Fatally Injured
Near RosIyn, Wash.

Roslyn, Wash.-At least eight men
were killed and three perhaps fatally
injured in a gas explosion in coal
mine No. of the Northwestern I'm
provement Co. near here.
When the explosion occurred col
umn of fire was thrown hundreds of
feet into the air, igniting the shaft
plant and adjoining buildings. Under
the intense heat the hoist of the shaft
crumbled and fell. Cinders were blown
in all directions, several buildings in
parts of the little mining town taking
fire. The citizens were able to extin.
guish the fires and the Roslyn fire de.
partment was called out.
