Washington, Dec. 2o-Trade be
tween South America and the United
States in 1909 will exceed all previous
records. with total of nearly 26O mil
lion dollars, against 233 millions in
1907 and 1873 millions in 1899. OF this
total of 26O millions, ITS millions is
the estimated total of imports from
and SO millions that of exports tc
South America.
Imports from South America in the
calendar year 1909 show an increase
of nearly 40 percent over those OF
last year, and the full years record
will probably exceed by 25 million dol
lars. that of 1906, until now the ban
ner year in our imports from South
America. In the 10 months for which
detailed information has reached the
bureau of statistics of the department
Of commerce and labor, imports from
South America aggregated 143 mil.
lion dollars, compared with 1O1 mil
lions in a like period of 1908. 1876 mil
lions in 1907 and Ill millions in 1906.
The South American countries par
ticipating most largely in the import
trade of the United States, stated in
the order of importations in 10
months of the present year, are:
Brazil. Argentine, Chile, Venezuela,
Columbia, Peru. Uruguay, Ecuador,
Dutch Guiana, British Guiana, French
Guiana, Paraguay and Bolivia. From
Bolivia our nominal imports are prac-
tically nil by reason of its inland 10

SENIOR SENATOR is TRYING TO

palladium Specially


Indianapolis, Dec. 20.-Senator Bev-
eridge is at home for the holiday va
cation of congress, and he is a busy
man, too. He is putting in most of
his time at his home, working on a
bill for the government of Alaska.
He is chairman of the senate COM
mittee on territories. and it will be
up to him to offer the bill to the SEN
ate. Before he left Washington he
had a long conference with President
Taft on this subject, and he found
that his ideas and the ideas of the
president were identical. Therefore,
when the bill goes in it will reflect
the views Of the president.
Senator Beverage is fully impress
ed with the necessity for giving at
tention to governmental affairs in AL
aska. He realizes that Alaska COM
prises vast territory and that it is
rich in resources. He is also convinc-
ed that it would not be practicable to
create a legislature and other forms
of territorial government in Alaska.
Ideas Of President.
The idea of President Taft is to
have a bill which will empower the
president to appoint a governor and
an executive council for Alaska, the
members of the executive council to
live in Alaska during their terms of
office. He believes this council should
have legislative powers sufficient to
enable it to give to the territory local
laws adapted to its present growth.
He does not favor legislation looking
to the election Of a territorial legis-
lature for Alaska. He believes that
on account of the lack of permanent
residence of large part of the popu-
iation and the smaller number of peo-
pie who live in the territory as COM
pared with the expanse and variety
of interests would make the election
of a legislative body the wrong course.
Senator Beverage will be a very
busy man while he is in Indianapo-
lis, as he will work the proposed bill
out very carefully. He is also doing
some literary work.
In regard to appointments which
he is to make in the near future,
Senator Beveridge said: These mat
tiers are being taken up and threshed
out very carefully. The entire office
force and myself are at work and we
are going slowly and are making an
independent investigation in each
case. AS soon as we have satisfied
ourselves in any investigation and it
has been tested out, action will be
taken, but we are doing it very care
fully"

Death Of Dog Causes Suicides
Two Maiden Women, Who liv ed Herms, Thought Life
Not Worth Living When Canine Friend Died.

Newark. N. j., Dec. 2O-Two aged
maiden sisters. Frances and Isabel
Richie, were found dead in their home
here. They had lived alone in the
same house for the past 20 years. Their
source of income was as mysterious as
their secluded life, but they kept their
house in order and paid their bills reg
ularly.
Frances, the elder, was found lying
on the floor, while the body of the sis
ter dangled from a piece of clothesline
made fast above a door, The first in
dications were that Frances had died
from natural causes and that Isabel
hanged herself in a paroxysm of grief.
This theory was dispelled when a small
book was found in the dining room, on
the cover OF which had been written
the words
Frances hung herself at 2:3O Sat.
Me, too"
This led to the belief that the two
old women had carried out a suicide
pact. Frances hanging herself first
and the body being cut down by the
sister. but further investigation
brought to light more grewsome de-
tails. Underneath her clothing and
sticking in the breast of Frances was a
hatpin buried in the flesh to its black
head. The pin had been driven close
to the heart to depth of about fon-
inches. Similar wounds, but of not
such serious nature. were found on
the other body. which leads to the be-
lief that the sisters may have quarreled
and fought.
Whether Frances deliberately hanged
her sister. then killed herself with the
hatpin. or whether the sister found
hanging stabbed the other and then

be known. The hands of the body or
the floor were carefully crossed and
the head rested on a sofa cushion.
There is a possibility that both were
murdered, but the house shows no trace
of having been entered by strangers
The women had lived alone since the
death of their mother. more than Il
years ago, with large dog as theil
sole companion. Recently the dog

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR
August 5.
JOSE RIAL.

Jose Rial, the Filipino patriot and
perhaps the most learned of the little
brown men of Uncle Sans Pacific
islands, was born of Tagal parents 4S
years ago. He was destined for the
church and entered a Jesuit school of
Manila. His great natural ability soon
placed him at the head of his class,
but this won for him only the hatred
and derision of the Spanish theological
students, whose Christian charity was
not broad enough to admit a Tagal to
fellowship, when that savage" had
the audacity to show himself their in
tellectual superior
Disguised with religion, as exempli-
fled by his schoolmates, he determined
to abandon a theological career, and
took up what the Spaniards consider
the "atheisticar profession of medi-
cine. After taking a degree at Ma
Mia, he went to Paris, Leipsic and
Heidelberg to continue his medical
studies, and won fame in Europe by
the brilliance of his attainments. In
Europe he wrote two novels dealing
with his native land which had a
wide circulation.
In 1887 Rial went to Hong Kong,
where he organized the famous Philip
pine league, a revolutionary society
He continued to agitate the revolt of
the Filipinos against their Spanish OPP
pressors, with the result that when
he returned to Manila in 1892 he was
arrested and exiled to Dopitan. Re-
turning in 1895, he was again arrested
and condemned to death.
His last requests, that he might be
united in civil marriage to Miss Jose
Prime Bracken, his sweetheart, and
that he might be shot through the
breast, were granted by the charitable
and kindly Spaniards.
A detail of native soldiers was as
signed to the execution of the sentence
of death which was carried out Deem
Der 30. 1896. So persisted this bril-
liant Tagal patriot. shot down like
a dog by the people he had tried to
liberate, and honored ever since as a
martyr.

The calf should have all the grain II
will consume Shelled corn ana oats
are both good both being well mas
tjcated and digested at an early age.
AS to hay, the calf is not particular
as to what kind it is. Timothy gives
as good results with young calves as
clover or alfalfa. Hay is evidently
consumed as much as anything else
for the purpose of giving bulk to the
ration. AS the calf becomes older and
it is necessary for it to secure part OF
its nutrition from the hay, clover or
alfalfa is better than any other form
of rOughage.
The change of feeds with calves
should be gradual The change from
whole milk to skim milk should in no
case be made any faster than one
pound a day If the calf is receiving
II pounds of whole milk per day, when
the change to skim milk is begun IT
should receive at least on the first day,
II pounds of whole milk, and the next
day at least ten pounds. Feeding
should be done regularly, and the milk
divided evenly between night and
morning.
Too much milk at one feed is a
common cause of scours. The most
successful calf raisers always meas
ure out each calls milk every time,
and see that the calf gets his milk and
no more Nothing will upset a calf's di-
gestive system any quicker than a
batch of cold milk when it has been
accustomed to warm milk. What has
been said regarding cold milk may be
also applied to sour milk. The milk for
young calves should be sweet, but as
it grows older, sour milk or butter
milk may be substituted without bad
results. Milk for the calf should be
any fermentation which would be in
Sweet milk is beyond question the
best, and the hand separator makes
possible its use all the time.
The cOmmOnest cause of ScOurs
with calves is unclean utensils for
feeding. The feeding pals should be
scalded and summed daily in ordsr to
kill germs of disease and to prevent
sour all the time or sweet all tha time
furious to the calf.

With the Small Farmer
THE SKIM MILK CALF

The time at which we should begin
feeding some skim milk along with
whole milk will depend largely upon
the strength and vigor of the calf. and
will vary from two to. four weeks.
Probably in no other feeding operation
Is 1t necessary for the farmer to exer-
else as much care and judgment as
in the feeding of calves. The skim
milk is gradually increased. and the
whole milk decreased until at the age
of six or eight weeks the calves are re-
celving straight skim milk. There are
TWO reasons for not making the change
to skim milk sooner. First, because
the calls digestive system is not suf-
nclently strong to stand the
chanGe' and second, because the calf
should be able to consume other foods
10 compensate for the fat which has
Deen removed from the milk. The

ALMOST HUMAN TORPEDO WILL
OBEY COMMANDS AT LONG
DISTANCE.
Deadly Vessel Is Not Expected t
Make More Than One Trip, But
That Will Be Sufficient.

PARIS. Aug. 5.-Its Of nj use to 'gc
spending millions of dollars on battle
ships if the invention of a French en-
gineer, NJ Gustave Babel. fulfills, at
it's official trials a few weeks hence,
the promise just given at it's unofficial
trial
This new engine of destruction is
radio -autOmatic torpedo, so sensitive
to control at so great distance as tC
be we'll nigh human. 1t can be guided
by wireless waves at a distance Of
three and a half and even four miles as
completely as if the operator were on
board instead of beside a telegraph in
strument we'll out of harms way.
Like the bee that is supposed to die
when it has used it's one and only sting
this costly vessel is expected never to
make more than one business" trip,
and that trip is designed to be the most
expensive voyage on record.
The preliminary trials took place
some time ago, but the working model
used on this occasion is much larger
and considerably improved.
Imagine a little submarine at the
bottom of a hull of eleven yards, on
top of this long, thin, cylindrical
fioater with two masts, each carrying
lights that wink signals. In the COM
partment in the fore part of the hull
there is accommodation for 200 pounds
of explosives The second compartment
contains the apparatus controlling the
Hertz radio active waves which are
now used in wireless biography, and
which will enable an operator to di-
rect the vessel from a hitherto unprece-
denied distance. The third chamber OF
the hull encloses the 'accumulators,'
They have nothing to do with moving
the torpedo boat, but regulate the
maneuvers aboard. The fourth COM
partment contains the petroleum motor.
According to M. CADET, with motor
of O-horse power, the rate of twenty
knots can be easily attained. At the
end of the hull there is the reversible
copper propeller, permitting the ma
chine to run either forward or back
ward.
The strange craft was slid down into
