More of the French Plan.

One Of the stories that the late
James Payn, the novelist, liked most
to tell was about what he called an
American duel, wherein two duelists
with one second met within doors
and drew lots to see which should
shoot himself. A was the unlucky
man, and without word he retired
into the next apartment to carry out
the purpose of self-destruction. B
and the second, both very much
moved by the tragedy of the situa-
ton, remained in listening attitudes.
At last the pistol was heard; they
shuddered with emotion and re-
morse, when suddenly in rushed the
supposed dead man, triumphantly
claiming: Missed, by heaven!'-

STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE.
It stopped the Run.

During the financial crisis in New
York, Washington was filled with
tales of how runs had been stopped
on banks. Perhaps one Of the best
was told by Missouri congressman.
"In the old days." he said, .&tkre
was banker in Kansas City, one 7.
Is. Chick. His bosom friend was a
Wyandotte Indian, named Hiram
Northrup, who was also a banker at
Wyandotte, about three miles from
Kansas City. A run started on the
Chick institution. 1t looked like 1t
would have to close its doors. North
rup went to the Missouri Pacific
shops and gathered all the old iron
washers he could find. These were
conveyed to his bank. There he
dumped them into sacks marked as
holding gold amounting to $4,000
each. The next day the sacks were
taken out of the bank and conveyed
to wagons. Surrounded by a strong
guard of eight men. armed with re-
volvers and knives, the wagons
moved slowly toward Kansas City.
They were halted in front of Chicks
bank. The heavy sacks were con-
veyed inside the bank. Hundreds of
people witnessed the operation. Many
of them were depositors. One of
them said to his friends, uncon-
sciously repeating the Frenchman in
Mark Twain's 'Roughing It.. We'll.
now that they've got the money, I
don't want it, The effect Of this
deposit was electric. The run 81 H.
ped at once and the bank was save.
A few days later the sacks were re-
turned to the Wyandotte bank, to
the great pride and satisfaction of
the people of the locality which it

HARTMAN HARD
HIT By ROOSEVELT
SCHEME TO GOBBLE
ALL AVAILABLE ELECTRIC
BLOCKED BY PROCLAMATION
CREATING RESERVE.

Washington, D. c., March s.
Following the discovery of what is
believed to be a gigantic scheme on
the part of the Hartman lines and
allied interests to gain control of the
electric power situation in northern
California and Nevada by the pur-
chase of options on all the available
power sites on Incorporated lands,
the president yesterday signed a pro-
clamation adding 100000 acres to
the Tahoe forest reserve.
The proclamation was the result
of a prolonged investigation by
agents of the forest service and came
only after bitter struggle between
the government and the interests op-
posing the addition. 1t was signed
after formal protest had been lodg-
ed against it by Congressman Engel-
bright of California. Englebright
carried his fight against it into con-
gress where Pinchot has many enc
miles,
The addition to the Tahoe forest
reserve was first contemplated by the
forest service in order to preserve
from depreciation the timber on the
headwaters Of the Yuba and Ameri-
can rivers and to regulate the flow of
these streams which annually over
flow, destroying vast property. The
land in question was withdrawn for
inspection and then it was that the
interests opposed to the forestry
policy of the president got busy.
Hartman Held Options.
The forest service had not expect
ed this opposition and agents were
sent to locate the center of disturb
ance." Then it was discovered that
Hartman interests had taken OPP
tons on nearly every available cleo
trio power site in the district and had
announced that he was going to use
the power to haul his trains over the
Truckee mountains, which contain
some of the steepest grades on the
continent.
The failure of the recent severe
arraignment of the forest reserve to
effect a reduction in tn annual ap-
preparation has demonstrated that
Pinchot is in the majority in the
lower house. 1t is stated on good
authority here that the conservation
commission has gathered information
as to the activities of the alleged
electric power trust in the west that
shows that big interests have been
slowly obtaining possession Of thou
sands of valuable power sites.

WOMEN CHAINED TO RINGS
Startling Condition Revealed in Mis-
souri, Penitentiary Report.

Startling Condition Revealed i'm Mis-
souri, Penitentiary Report.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Mar. 5.-Very
startling conditions at the Missouri
State penitentiary are revealed in a
report prepared for the legislative
committee on penitentiary and re-
form schools.
The report recommends that one
of the large structures be torn down,
as it is unfit for habitation.
1t is declared in the report that
one cell room in the woman's depart
ment has iron rings in the wall, sew
en- feet from the floor, and for pun
ishment women prisoners are chained
by the wrists on these rings. The
sanitary conditions are described as
the worst possible and the cells as
filthy.
1.-THE personal cleanliness of the
female prisoners, according to the
inmates" the report says, sis not
brought about by the use of bath
tubs. We conversed with more than
half of the prisoners and all declare
that baths are given only on admis-
sion and before a prisoner is dis
charged"

HAY NAY FORCE
INVESTIGATION
1T WAS RUMORED IN OLYMPIA
THAT HE WOULD CALL AN
EXTRA SESSION IF STATE OF.
FICERS WE'RE NOT PROBED.

Olympia, March 5.-It Is rumored
here tonight that Governor Hay will
call the legislators back in extra SEES
sion to take action in. the matter of
investigating the affairs of state Of
ficials If the legislature adjourns
without making such provision.
This rumor was very persistent in
the city tonight, and Senator Falcon
er and others who are close to the
governor did not deny the truth of
the rumor when asked about it.
There has been evidence in the air
since the session between the gov
ernor and the state officers Friday
night to show that the governor had
his fighting blood up, and those that
had inferred that he was worsted
in the encounter have another guess
coming. They evidently have not
got Hay sized up right.
To take the matter as it stood at
the conclusion of the carpet session
one would say that Hay had the
worst of it, but that was only the
first round The governor saw the
uselessness of prolonging the ruction.
Secretary Nichols had fumed and
sputtered his indignation copiously;
Schively had whined and pleaded,
and Land Commissioner Ross had
clustered and bluffed, and the gov
ernor had learned what he sought
to know. And that was where the
state officials stood on the matter of
investigation.
Senator Falconer was in the con-
fab that night, and told the state Of
ficials what he thought of their atti-
tude. So he is persona non grata to
the state officials and their friends
and defenders. But this does not
bother Falconer. He stands with
Governor Hay in the position that,
since suspicion has been raised in the
public mind regarding the affairs of
the insurance commissioners Office,
the insurance commissioner should
be the first to urge an investigation.
AS the vote in the house showed
on the occasion of action on the reso-
luton to investigate Schively, Gov
ernor Hay has about an even break
with the membership there, and if
he brings back the legislators in spe-
cial session to face the matter Of in
vestigation, with the sentiment of
the people of the state back of him,
he will have the whip hand, and
there will be nothing to it but to
take the action demanded.
The people can put it down for
certain that Governor Hay is a
fighter when he takes a stand for
what he holds is right, and in this
matter of illumination of the affairs
of the state offices he will never
quit until he forces action.

| WIN WISH inc OOSOU lN0NI 0UOOdy
Evening.
| In his portraiture OF that "yolly'
good natured Swede, "Yon Yonson,"
| Ben Hendricks has added to American
stage personalities a character so
original, so distinct ard entirely diff
ferent from the many other characters
of Which play-goers have long since
tired that his impersonation has gained
for him foremost place as Americas
best dialect comedian. His acting is
artistic and he does not burlesque his
role merely to gain laughs; "Yon" is
treated as natural character and his
quaint humor is drawn out by legiti-
mate methods, not by coarseness or
"horse-play" which is likely to prove
distasteful to persons of refinement
The prerequisites which enable an ac-l
tor to make thorough success in any
part are: knowledge of the character
istics of the certain individual to be
impersonated; intelligence which en-
ables him to form true conception of
the character and the talent or ability
to represent that character naturally
and true to life. All these require
ments Mr.. Hendricks possesses, hence
his genuine success could not but fol-
low His Swedish dialect is also per-
feet, yet he does not go to extremes
with it, and the broken English Of
"Yon" is at all times readily under
stood.
Ben Hendricks has been identified
with Swedish plays for many years.
His representations embrace cole Ole
son." and "Yenuine Yentleman," but
in neither of these has the public
shown the interest that has always
been manifest in his first real success

son revived on a more elaborate scale
