Prison Association Delegates

band of the Washington state reform
school at Centralia played for the meet
ing of the American prison association
tonight. the boys being very proud of
their neat clothes and bright instru-

day came when Warden Hellstrom of

as prison director had converted him
to prohibition, for he had found that
95 OF 100 convicts owed their downfall
to drink.

place probably tomorrow morning The

at Cost of $4,000

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-With the two
society leaders Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay
and Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont. directing
rival camps OF suffrage lighters, the in
dications are that the coming fall cam
paign will be a lively one.
Mrs. Belmont has leased an entire
floor at 605 Fifth avenue as headquar-
ters for the state and national officers
of the equal suffrage party. The cost
of running these Offices, which will be
about $4,000 a year, will be borne by
Mrs. Belmont.
Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Belmont hold
radically different vieys regarding
woman suffrages Mrs. Mackay more
nearly approaches the standards of the
suffragists. She is what is known as
municipal suffragist''; that is, she be-
Eeves that woman's sphere of activity
should not extend beyond the limits of
her home city.
Mrs. Belmont thinks that woman
should be just as much a factor in ma
tional politics as man.

FAKE ACCIDENT SCHEME
UNEARTHED BY RAILROAD
Canadian Pacific Charges Huge
Conspiracy to Defraud

MONTREAL, Aug. 1.-THE legal de-
partment of the Canadian Pacific rail-

The claimants are alleged to have
a regular organization, with branches
in Chicago. Toronto, Vancouver and
other places, and to carry on a sys-
tematic scheme of fraud by means of
false claims, false Witnesses, etc.
Three arrests have been made and
others are promised. The conspiracy

JAPANESE STRIKERS
TRIAL NEARING END
Prosecutors Say Leaders Want
ed to Conf1soate Plantations

HONOLULU, Aug. 17.-The trial of
the leaders in the so called sugar
strike conspiracy is nearing the end
William A. Kinney made the opening
argument for the prosecution today.
speaking for six hours, while Joseph
Lightfoot, attorney for the Japanese
defendants, responded
Kinney, in the course of his argu-
ment, expressed the view that the strike
of the plantation workers probably
eventually would prove beneficial to the
territory, having caused movement
that would end the domination of
Japanese labor in the islands and give
more encouragement to the citizen
class.
He said that the plans of the strike
leaders on trial involved the confsca-
tion Of plantations, the Japanese hoping
to get complete control. They also ex
pected TO involve the Japanese govern
ment, he asserted.

the ratio shown by the incomplete
partial returns is preserved.
The incomplete returns indicate
that Mckinley has not carried
more than half a dozen precincts
in the city. Longs total vote will
greatly exceed that polled by any
republican candidate, and the
complete returns will show that
his name was written in on their
ballots by many democrats and
union labor party men.
The triumphant denomination of
City Attorney Long was generally
conceded. The proportions of his
majority can only be construed as
an expression of an overwhelming
has made on behalf of the city for
Hetch Hetchy and for honest gas
and water rates.
Long secured reopening of the
Hetch Hetchy controversy during
his term which ended in January,
1906. The project was permitted
to languish under the Schmitz-
Ruef regime, but was promptly
revived when Long went into Of
fice again in January, 1908.
As city attorney. Long has Wig
orously resisted the efforts of the
gas company and the Spring Val
ley water company to collect ille-
gal rates under injunction and
through his efforts the excess col
lected by these companies has
been impounded and if the city is
successful in the suits he Is de-
Tending the excess will be re-

A Storm That Suited the Painter, but
Not tho Committee.


In gallery there hangs a large
canvas in an imposing frame. The
painting shows a waterfall in one Of
the states famous for startling nat
ural scenery. The picture has occupied
its present place for several years.
"Does it belong here? asked Wis
itor Of the man In charge.
mo more than the others you see."
Seems to me 1t should be In the
capitol Of the state where this scenery
is" said the visitor.
"It was painted for the state" re-
piled the man In charge, .:but when it
was submitted to the AIT committee
It refused to accept it."
"What was the objection?"
"You see the sky is overcast. The
artist put in a gathering storm like an
impending calamity. The art commit
tee said it was a reflection on the rep
utation Of the state; that a storm such
as is represented was unknown in that
latitude"
Couldn't the artist put in another
sky, one that accorded with the states
reputation for sunshine"
II suppose he could, but he refused.
He said that the rumpus kicked up by
the art committee warranted the storm
effect on the canvas, and he refused to
bulge. He sent it here, and here 1t
remains. Boston Herald

Hippopotsmus Meat Has a Strong
Odor and Flavor of Musk.

Oa0i &to FiaN0T OF m0oks
To the African traveller the hippo
potamus is q species Of game particu-
larly desirable, for its ivory and its
hide are both valuable, while the not
inconsiderable danger involved in its
pursuit provides the delicious emotion
without which every kind of hunting
is tame and insipid. Moreover, the OBJ
legation under which the leader of the
expedition lies to feed his servants and
carriers adequately makes one Of these
enormous beasts, twelve feet long or
so and disproportionately wide, a per-
feet godsend. Not only does the hippo
potamus furnish a formidable amount
Of meat, but that meat has the ines
Unable merit of keeping fresh much
longer than any other, principally ow-
ing to the fact that flies seem to have
an insurmountable horror of 1t.

FIVE SENSES NOT ENOUGH.
Our Limited Scale Of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.

Shuts Out Many Vibrations.
Between the vibrations that we call
electricity and the vibrations that we
call heat We imagine there must be
other vibrations filling up the gap, but
we do not know, simply because we
have no senses that can comprehend
them. The spectrum is just such a
little scale. Below the darkest red at
the lower end we cannot see; at the
other end as the vibrations get faster
and faster through the orange, the blue
and the violet is another unknown
gap-that is. we cannot see II. But
surely the vibrations are there. Some
Of them. for instance, that we have
never seen and never can see mark
their presence on a Photographic plate.
And this same spectrum may be used
as an analogy TO describe spirltualistic
phenomena. just as there are limits
at either end Of the scale Of vibrations
beyond which our own senses can tell
as nothing 50 may there be psychic
forces at work beyond the limits Of our
consciousness. These are seemingly
supernatural 70 as when we witness
their effect. but they really are no
more supernatural than the y ray that
pierces the solid body or the invisible
ultra violet ray that marks the photo
