NOTE OF INTEREST
 FOR THE MOTHERS

New Orleans, February 21.-An unlocked for note of interest this afternoon was thrown into the proceedings of the Ma tional Congress of Mothers, conducting a special meeting at the First Methodist church, following their formal adjourn ment Saturday night.
 Mrs. Frank Degarmo of the Louisiana division of the congress, made the decla- ration all the more unexpected because it was uttered in a church, that the church had been deficient in the teach fngs of its mothers and caring for the child and that 1t had been necessary to go outside of the church to organize for the enlightenment of one and the pro- tectfon of the other. Such organizations, she said, as the Mothers congress and parents and teachers associations were a reflection on the church.
 The Rev. Dr. William McF. Alexander. pastor of the Prytania Street Presbyterian church of New Orleans, lost no time in arising to make answer. He denied very vigorously that the church had been de- ficient in this respect and made the coun- ter charge that if the church was ap- parently lax on the subject it was be- cause the home was not what it should be

Mob WreckS Buildings
 Belonging To Greeks
South Omaha Is Scene of Wild Disorder When Infated C zens Try To Avenge Death of Policeman Who Was Killed by Greek Whom
 He Had Arrested

The three attacks were made almost simultaneously and the destruction was completed before Chief Briggs could get his scattered force together. Meantime Sheriff Bradley rushed his deputies to South Omaha to aid the police.
 The mob assaulted many Italians and Roumanians who were mistaken for Greeks.
 The riots grew out of the arrest of a Greek last Friday night by Policeman Lowery. While on the way to the police station the Greek shot Lowery ts death and escaped. An unsuccessful pt was made later to lynch the GEH ud then mass meeting was callSA < .this afternoon to take some actiQS a.. re- gard to Greek residents. The&sS meet ing was addressed by State 3senta- tiyes Jerry Howard and e2 xrause, Attorney H. c. Murphy aTfTr, IS.
 .sThe blood of an Ame6.S . 5 on the hands of these Greeks, eSs iy is said to have shouted. "ap GT @ method should be adopted to A 2 his death and rid the city of ~ iass of per- sons."
 tThe meeting dismissed. half of the audience rushed to the Greek quarter, where the destruction began. The crowd gave little heed to opposition, one of the damaged houses, a two-story residence, being less than a hundred feet from the police station.

Omaha, Neb., February H.-Bent on averaging the murder of Patrolman Ed ward Lowery, who was shot Friday night by Greek prisoner, some 5000 men and boys today partly wrecked 30 buildings in the Greek quarter of South Omaha, and created a riot during which two boys were wounded with bird shot and a dozen other persons were injured with missiles of various sorts, used in smash ing buildings occupied by Greeks.
 The riots followed a mass meeting at which two state legislators and an at torney harangued the crowd.
 The police were helpless for almost three hours to disperse the rioters and Greek residents fled in panic from the quarter attacked, while the mob wrecked prop erty.
 Even after the police gained control they could not disperse the crowd
 The onslaught of the mob was made in three divisions. The main attack cen- tered at Twenty sixth and @ streets, the principal Greek quarter.
 The maddened crowd began it's de- struction by throwing stones and bricks through the windows of stores and houses known to be occupied by Creeks In a short time havoc was made of these places.
 Two blocks east another crowd smashed the front of saloon and several men attempted to pillage the interior. A squad of police prevented the mob from getting the liquor. At this place the two boys were shot and three other persons injured
 A third crowd rushed to Twenty-fourth and l. streets, and demolished a con fectionery store kept by Demos Bros. Mrs. Mary Demos and her aged father narrowly escaped death at the hands of the mob.

NO REASON TO GUT
 PRICES OF STEEL

Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation. declared emphatically today at the Waldorf Astoria that the corporation would make no cut at present in the price of steel rails, which has ruled at BPS a ton for the last eight years.
 This announcement sets at rest the conflicting rumors which have been in circulation since the report of an open market in the iron and steel trade.
 Ex-Judge Gary said:
 "I see no reason for such action. We should not make cut unless forced to do so by the independents. l don't see what they would gain by reduc- ton In the price of rails"

behalf of the two defendants-in-chief. John Sharp has as yet entered no plea, but there is little doubt. that he will make the plea that he had nothing to do with the scrime.
 The attorneys have had since Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock to study the sten- ographic transcript and to pick out every possible weak spot, and every possible inconsistency, however slight, and they will not be slow to take advantage of their opportunity. In fact, they requested the adjournment, stating that they would have to have a conference before begin ming their cross-questions.
 Counsel for the defense have not yet in- dieated whether Col. D. B. Cooper will be put on the stand. It is the general im- precision, however, that he will follow his son.

He was a son of Dougles Robinson. Robinson was with a party of fellow students Saturday night. Late in the evening he complained of not feeling well and went to the apartments of his brother, Monroe Dou- gles Robinson, in Hampton hall, accom- panied by some friends Monroe Rob- inson, who Is a senior at Harvar1, was not in his apartment.
 It Is understood that shortly after his arrival young Robinson stumbled and fell in crossing the room and struck heavily on his forehead receiving & painful injury. His friends say they then put him in his brothers bed, and after raising the window of the bedroom a few inches in response to his request for more air went away a short time lat IT, leaving him apparently asleep. That was the last they heard of young Robinson until they were told that his body had been found on the sidewalk this morning.

Monopoly.

TOXIC, April at is estimated
that upwards of 10000 tons of salt
herring have been shipped from Ma
naimo on the Pacific cost of Japan
this season by the Japanese firms who
are operating at that point. The fish
business at Nnnaimo has been a gold
en- harvest to the Asiatics engaged in
the trade, they having practical mo-
nopoly of the curing business. There
is only one white firm of any impor-
lance now operating there, whereas
few years ago there was scarcely Il
Jap or a Chinaman in the herring
trade in this province. There is about
a thousand tons awaiting the Kumerlc,
which is expected from the Orient in
a few days. Her sister ship, the Gil
meric, took 1900 tons a few weeks
ago. The Glenfarg will take all she
can stow away on her present voyage
Large quantities of herring are ship
from Nanaimo to the Puget Scum;
ports and there loaded into vessel
sailing for the Orient.

MEASURING HORSE
power IN AUTOS
ONLY ONE METHOD OF GETTING
CORRECT.
Take Square of Bore and Multiply BY
Number of Cylinders, Then Multiply
Last Figure BY Number of Revolt
tons, Etc.

NEW YORK, April 2.-There is only
one method of exactly measuring
horsepower in a gasoline automobile
engine that is by actual test wit ha
mechanical machine such as are built
to show strain. 1t makes no difference
what formula may be used for calcu
lating the power of the engine, trifling
inaccuracies are bound to result.
But it is possible to calculate quick
ly by some means the horsepower of
every automobile engine to within a
reasonable degree Of accuracy and this
is all that any purchaser or owner
of these machines has any practical
use for There are several formulas
used by dealers, but the best and the
quickest is the French method, which
calculates upon the bore of the cylin-
ders, the stroke of the pistons, the
number of the cylinders and the num-
Der of revolutions made by the engine
per minute at any one time.
This formula is here given for the
use of automobile owners whose ideas
of the real power of their machines is
based frequently only on advertising
statements or else careless statements
of dealers and chauffeurs. This is
the formula:
Take the square of the bore and
multiply by the number of cylinders.
Then multiply this last figure by the
number of revolutions made by the
engine per minute. Divide this answer
by ten, raised to tie ninth power and
multiply this result by four. The fig
ure now obtained isthe horsepower
of your machine. AS the measure
ment of both the stroke and the bore
is usually given in munimeters, the
complications that result are slightly
cumbersome but If an inch is taken
| to be equal to rs millimeters, the re-
suits will be accurate enough for any
ordinary work.
Also in the average car the number
of revolutions per minute is 1900, and
| the average owner who works out
| this problem can be sure that he has
found the amount of his horsepower
far more accurately than he can OBJ
tain it from a dealer or agent.

HOW SPECULATION

PRICES.
Despite Boasts of Farmers That They

ners Can Buy.
ners Can Buy,

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 2.-The
time is now at hand when throughout
the South general attention is being
turned to the preparation for and the
planting of the years cotton crop. Last
years crop sold at lower figures than
have been experienced in some sea-
sons, and as result, farmers have not
made anything like the profits they
realized from the two preceding
crops. On the other hand, however, it
can scarcely be true, as some claim
that the crop has been sold very close
to the cost of production. 1t is true
that provisions, flour and grain were
high, adding something to the cost of
the crop, but on the other hand. labor
was comparatively plentiful and the
weather was ideal, greatly reducing
the cost of gathering and marketing
the crop. Then, again, the yield was
a record breaker, so that taken alto

fair profit.
That the last crop sold as low as it
did was not altogether due TO the size
of the yield because the figures show
that it has been absorbed by consum-
ers at an unprecedented rate. The
main trouble has been that there has
prevailed an almost complete absence
of speculation which in all former
years has helped the farmer to carry
the crop and has competed actively
with the consumer and spinner, thus
creating higher range of values dur
the period of active marketing than
could be possible with consumers and
spinners having the market all to
themselves. Despite their boasts of
being able to hold the crops until they
secure the prices desired, the farm
ers are always compelled by the neces-
stiles to sell more rapidly than spin

that the above is the proper pronun-

And if it fails to cure acute or

The person who suffers from catarrh
after such an offer as that, must like

omei:
Il have used Hyomei for a case of
