THEIR
APPRECIATION
w. c. T. u. Members Greet the
Officers Who Have Served
Quarter Century.

Twenty-Five years of earnest en-
deavor in the interest of the temper
ance propaganda in the Hawaiia4
Islands, of devoted energy in prevent
ing liquor obtaining too great hold
upon the Hawaiian race, of an eduea-
tional crusade in the interest of en-
hghtenment of children of the public
schools, has been, in brief, the work of
Mrs. j. NJ. Whitney, who yesterday
rounded out quarter of a century as
president of the Woman s Christian
Temperance Union in the Hawaiian
Islands. To show the high regard in
which she is held by the members of
the organization, she was again unani-
mously reelected to become president
for the first year of the second quarter
of a century, and as token of the re-
gard in which Mrs. Whitney is held,
not only personally, but for her high
attachments in the cause of temperance,
the members presented her with 800
in gold, the fee for a life membership
in the National Woman S Christian
Temperance Union.
Yesterdays annual meeting and also
the quarter-eentury session was largely
attended, and it was fitting that four
of the original officers should be pres
ent and all should present reports. They
We're Mrs. Whitney, first president;
Mrs. R. j. Green, first recording seere
tary, who has been in office as such for
sixteen years; Mrs E. W. Jordan, first
corresponding secretary, and Mrs. L. b.
Coan, second treasurer, holding office
as such for twenty-five years, and one
of the original members.
The reports and talks by officers and
members and friends of the organiza-
ton were largely reminiscent of the
early days, of the youth of the organi-
cation, when it strove to stem the tide
of intemperance which was foreseen in
the early eighties, and which was the
cause of the formation of the local
branch.
Mrs, Green s report was of the early
days, how she was appointed on the
recommendation of Mrs. Damon. who
had been a fellow passenger from the

NUMEROUS PLOT WAS
MATCHED IN SEOUL
Palace of Japanese Resident
General Is Being Very
Closely Guarded.
(By Associated Press.)

SEOUL. Korea, October 29.-It is
believed that the plot which culminat.
ed in the assassination of Prince Ito
by the Korean, Inehan Angan. at Har-
bin was Matched here. The palace of
the Japanese resident general at this
place is being closely guarded for fear
that eOmpatTiots of Ito s murderer will
make an attempt on the life Of Japan IS
chief representative here, the resident
general.
Inchan Angan, who was formerly edi-
tor of a Korean paper published at
Seoul. appears glad of the success of his
attempt on the life of Prince Ito, talk
ing freely of the deed and expressing
no fear as to his own fate lie states
that he was one of twenty Koreans
who were sworn to kill Prince Ito in
revenge for Japan s policy in the Her
nit Kingdom.
It has been learned now that Ito
was not stabbed by Inchan Angan, as
was at first reported, but was shot, the
weapon of the assassin being charged
WITH dumdum bullets. TO make assur-
ance doIbly sure, they were poisoned
with cyanide of potassium. This insured
the death of the prince, even if he
were not hit in q vital spot by the
bullet
The Japanese warship Iwate sailed
yesterday from Davien, bearing the
body of Ito to Japan. Evidences of
deep mourning were exhibited by the
people all along the line from Hardin
to the sea coast.

MOTION
PATENT GRANTED
Inventor TuCh Will Put Machine
on Market That He Claims
will Work Wonders.

Patent rights have been granted G..
c. Tuch, of this city, on machine that
runs itself on power self generated, a
perpetual motion machine, in other
words. This power generating machine
is one which its inventor expects will
revolutionize the mechanical world.
Yesterday he received word that the
patent office had investigated his ma
chine, had considered the merits of it
and had agreed to issue the patent.
Now he has applied for foreign patents
and is prepared to put his invention
upon the market.
Mr.. Tuch makes his claims in a
modest way, although the claims them
selves are very far from modest. His
discovery is in the utilization of centrif-
ugal power in a new way, being, in
short, to use the force developed in the
turning of fywheel to develop cleo
tricity to be reapplied to the wheel, his
contention being that the momentum
gained by the application of ten horse
power. for instance, will develop fifty
horse power, the extra power to be EN-
ployed at will.
Mr.. Tuch s drawings show the fly
wheels, side by side, each acting on a
common dynamo through a shifting
belt. Electrical power is to be applied
to one wheel, sufficient to drive it at
a high speed. Then the power is shut
off, but the wheel continues to revolve
through its own momentum. This mo-
mentum develops electrical power to be
applied to the other dywheel, so that
as soon as the momentum slackens on
the one the other will be ready to take
up the work.
"There have been many attempts to
develop perpetual motion through the
application of power on the rim of a
wheel. " said Mr.. Tuch yesterday, but
heretofore always by applying weights.
which had TO be lifted by the wheel
again. I apply electricity, and there IS
no weight to electricity. The machine
will work. and when I demonstrate it
the whole system of power transmits
sion will be revolutionized. -

Another Joplin Police Murder

Meeting his wife in the custody Of
two policemen at Joplin last Monday
night at about 1l:30 o'clock, William
Schmulbach, Joplin gambler and
horse trader, drew an automatic revolver
and shot both officers, one of them, VIM.
Smith, fatally. The other officer, Tim
Graney, was shot through both knees,
but will recover. Smith though des-
perately wounded, fired three shots af.
ter the fleeing Schmulbach and appar.
emily wounded him, for he was seen to
stagger as he ran.

Shot Giant Sea Bird.

One day last week a giant pelican
measuring nine feet one inch from wing
tip to wing tip was shot on Freeman's
farm near Joplin by John Anderson of
that city. His birdship was standing
in pond, calmly spearing fish with bis
l4.incn beak, and took to flight on An:
derson's approach, but double charge
of shot dropped him. The pelican is
strictly sea fowl, and what brought
this one so many hundreds of miles
from the closest habitat of his species

Thirteen years ago this month rural
free delivery of mail was first started in

3l9 rural routes had been established at

this time has amounted to nearly ST.
100000. But how extensive is the sys-

are 40,804 carries, serving 40,9l9 routes,
traversing one million miles, and more
than twenty million of people receive
mail daily. The establishment of rural
