The Safety board has finally de-
tern[ned upon method OF cutting
down expenses and the AK has been
laid at the root of the police de-
partment. For some time the board
has been figuring upon a plan to
cut expenses and the blow has final
ly been rendered.

poets that the finandal conditions of

Their Farms.

Nashville, Tenn, Mar. 5.-When
court adjourned last night in the trial
OF Col. Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper
and John Sharp, for the murder of ex.
Senator Carmack, after a day marked
by little progress and much wrangling
between attorneys, the Jury sent word
to Judge Hart through bailiff that
they had complaint TO make" The
court called up one OF their number,
William Hows, who said;
Most of the jurors are farmers
The time for spring planting is here
We want to get home. The entire
crop for the year depends upon the
planting. We feel that there are too
many delays and too much argument
We ask the court to hurry things
along. We would be glad to have
night sessions and work longer during
the day. But we want to get through
and get through soon"
Judge Hart told Hows he realized
how the Jurors felt and that he would
use every effort to make the case
move more rapidly.

MINER MAKES RICH STRIKE
After Forty-Elght Years OF Fruitless
Search, Returns with
Million,

San Bernardino, Cal, Mar. 5.-Har
ry Parsons, a desert miner, as years
old, left San Bernardino yesterday for
Philadelphia to visit relatives whom
he has not seen for so years. He goes
back with fortune estimated at ST.
100000, all amassed within the last
four years among the mining regions
of this county and southern Nevada.
When Bullfrog was first discovered
Parsons was camped ten miles dis
tant, trying to make Aimself believe
that he had at last made a strike. He
threw up his claims and joined the
rush. his burro dying within a quarter
Of a mile of the original strike.
This misfortune compelled him to
camp on the spot and early in the
morning he discovered he was on a
rich ledge. Two weeks later he sold
his holdings for $4,000. This was the
first generous windfall the old miner
experienced after as years of almost
constant search for the precious stuff,
during which he constantly faced
hardships and several times looked
death in the face Other ventures
have increased his fortune to a million.

JAPANESE ARE GOING HOME
Foreign Office Makes Statement thai
Emigration Exceeds

Toxic, Mar. 5.-Returns just com
pleted by the foreign Office show that
between June and December, 1908, L.
354 Japanese left the empire bound
for the United States, while $500 re
turned from the United States during
the same period. The total number
of Japanese sailing for Hawaii from

shown to have been 1,151 while those
returning from the islands number g..

foreign Office figures show lh2 Japan

Japan, while 295 returned to japan
during the same period from that
country. Two hundred and sixty-foui
OF the latter travelled third class. In
the same month 145 Japanese sailed
for Hawaii, while 60 returned, all the
homeward bound coming third class,
which indicates that they we're labor,

agreement relative to emigrants TO
the United States which was con.
cluded between Ambassador O'Brien

The foreign officers are particularly
insistent in calling attention to the
fact that on the figures given, 1000

When the temperance committee OF

the senate will not agree to the feat

CORD FOR CUTTING.
Not Applied to Soap and Butter
But to Stone.


They have just performed an extra
ordinary feat of mechanical engineer
ing in an extraordinary way in Paris.
II became necessary to isolate the
electric plant in the Rue Saint Roche
from the houses that adjoin 1t, because
OF the incessant tremor which its vast
dynamos sent through these houses.
The foundations and the facade were
continuous masonary, but the side
ways were separate. SO only the
heavy piers of the foundations and the
stones Of the facade had to be con-
sidered. Tearing down was impossi-
BILE, at least so fas as the basement
was concerned. So Mr.. Friese, the
company's architect, conceived the idea
of saving the buildings apart.
Every one is familiar with the cord
that is used for cutting butter and
soap, but most people will be aston
ished when told that there is also a
cord for QUITTING stone. This is used
In saving blocks OF marble. 1t is an
endless spiral cord of steel wire,
drawing with 1t wet sand, the friction
of which cuts the rock. This is lust
what was used for saving the electric
plant away from the adjacent build
ings
An elaborate frame work was
erected upon the sidewalks, with pull
leys and counterbalancing weights
and travelling motor. A well was dug
10 receive the water and sand and a
pipe TO convey it. A horizontal hole
was bored at the top of each pier OF
the foundation, and the steel cord was
threaded through these 50 as to work
upon AL at once, The motor which
operated the cord descended with IL
as fast rs II cut the masonary. About
every 20 hours the cord was worn out
and new one had to be substituted.
1t cut between three and four inches
an hour. When the masonary had
been cut all the way down second
out was made two inches from the
first, thus leaving a layer of stone
which II was easy to break away, and
so the walls were separated from their
neighbors by a clean space OF two
inches.
In a similar way the facade was cut
away. There was no interruption OF
work or damage TO the buildings

WHOLE EAST
STORM TOSSED
TRAIN SERVICE TIED UP FOR
HOURS IN VICINITY OF
~ BALTIMORE.
POLES AND WIRES ON TRACKS
Visitors TO inauguration Return Home
Without Seeing Ceremonies
at tho National
Capital.

Baltimore, Mar 5.-The storm of
yesterday seemed to center in Balti
more and vicinity. The train service
between Baltimore and Washington
and Haver de Grace on the south side
OF the Susquehanna river, was crippled
30 that a great crowd Of persons from
Philadelphia, New York and other
northern cities were stranded at the
railroad stations unable to proceed 10
the capital and witness the inaugura
ton ceremonies and parade. This con
dition Of affairs was due chiefly to the
blowing down of the telegraph and
telephone and other wires along the
railroad tracks U many cases the
poles fell across the tracks and made
II impossible for the trains to proceed
with safety. Then again drifts of snow
made traffic particularly difficult be
tween Baltimore and Washington and
other sections within a radius of IS
miles OF the city. AT 8 a. m. % trains
we're stalled between Baltimore and
Washington.
AS soon as the railroad and tele
graph and telephone people realized
the havoc wrought, they got their
wreoking gangs to work with the re.
suit that by noon the tracks were
cleared up enough to permit slow traf
fc. Arms of the telegraph or tele
phone poles were placed in an upright
position along the lines of the rail
road and a single emergency wire was
strung up in an effort to get the city
IN communication with the outside
world.
Waited Hours for Trains.
The people at the stations from the
north, who we're unable to proceed TO
Washington, waited for hours for
trains to take them to their homes
One Of the first trains to reach the
Union station OF the Pennsylvania rail
road was the Colonial express between
Washington and Boston. This train
left Washington several hours after
the scheduled time. 1880 a. M, and ar.
rived in Baltimore at 1880 p. m, nearly
five hours late. II was crowded with
Philadelphians, New Workers. and
other northerners who early in the
morning decided to start for their
homes rather than run the risk of be.
ing snowbound in the capital city over
night. Extra day coaches were at
tached to the train, and those who had
been stranded in the Monumental city
gladly started homeward.
Two Persons Lost Lives.
Aside from the damage done to the
wires and poles, two persons at least
are known to have lost their lives.
These were Policeman Thomas Worth.
ington and Miss Margaret Schumpf,
who were electrocuted by coming in
contact with fallen live wires.
In New York City the storm was one
OF the most severe of the winter, oil.
though the weather bureau asserted
that the metropolis had received "only
the edge of the disturbance" Three
lives we're lost in the sinking of six
Baltimore & Ohio coal barges at st.
George, Staten Island. Much other
damage was done to shipping all along
the Atlantic coast
