From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The changes which Secretary Knox
II making in the consular service are
in pursuance of very important
work which has been going on contin-
uously in the Department Of State ev-
or since the time Of Mr.. Bayard. Con.
gress has at various times considered
plans for the reorganization Of this
service. but without much sympathy.
The actual reorganization which has
taken place is more likely to be effect
i've because II has been worked out
gradually by experience, without too
many statutory restrictions. When the
work has been completed it may wise.

This gradual development of the for
eign service Of the United States from
q mere incident of the "spoils system
to q recognized professional career.
has been among the most important re-
forms Of recent years.

Staying the Forests.

From the Springfield Republican.
"Quebracho' Is a leather-tAnning
material extracted from the bark Of
chestnut trees. The mighty states
manship Of the United States Senate
has devoted some time to the great
public question whether the tariff du-
ty on quebracho should be one-half or
one.quarter OF cent per pound. 1t
appeared that the slaughter Of Ameri-
can forests under the tariff on lum-
Der has gone SO far as largely to de.
stroy the old source of tanning ma
terial. oak and hemlock bark. So
now there Is a turning to chestnut
trees. which are being rapidly skinned
and killed for this purpose along the
southern Appalachian country. To
keep up the duty on Quebracho is to
keep up this further slaughter Of tan
ming material supply, but the Senate
votes to keep it UP. The lumber and
pulp and hide and leather duties all
work to the same end-the extinction
Of such forests as remain. Great Is
the Senate's craftsmanship!

where Lieut.. Bailey held her as q sus-
picious person and also detained the
complainant on the charge of intoxi-
cation to insure his appearance against
her in court. This man said he was
George Hughes.
The tale Hughes told the policeman
was that he had been 'cold-fingered''
to the extent OF 81. He said the girl
was standing in a doorway and beck
oned to him as he passed. He went to
see what she wanted, and after some
conversation discovered that her fin
gers were chilly. or so 1t seemed. for
she put her hands in his pockets.
When he demonstrated. he said, and
asked for his money back, she ran

roof.

that she had Hughess money. and al
though he admitted that she had re.

complaint.
All this information was elected moi
very readily from Hughes. for. rs the
police said, he was stone deaf. In
reply to the question where he lived
he stated his age and said he was q

expressed himself as surprised that &C

Sanity on the Fourth,

Unfortunately. there is nothing new
to be said on the subject; but per-

success in journalism might be en-
ployed here to advantage. The great
editor was asked wherein lay success
In Journalism. Repetition, repetition,

EISCHMAN'S EATING HOUSE
AND FLossIE WAS THE CAUSE
OF THE JOB"

New York, May 31.-All fly-by-nights
who were belated guests of Zigman
Eischman's eating house on Seventh
avenue. just above saith street. were
thrilled by holdup in Dick Dead Eye
style early in the morning when the
attention of the policeman on the beat
had been diverted by another little
game. There were twenty-five or
thirty persons in the restaurant, when
four men came in and covered them
with revolvers. For some reason,
which was not apparent, the despera-
does devoted their operations wholly
to two victims. and then backed out
with guns still bent on the crowd.
No attempt was made to follow the
robbers.
One of the victims declared that two
of the bad men were George Brown,
one of the Chick Tucker outlaws, and
Dago frankie. who has just been dis
charged from Bellevue hospital. cured

NO STENOGRAPHER.
At Grand Jury Investigations Says
the Supreme Court, Five Judges
Sign Decision.

OLYMPIA, April 9.-Today the
formal decisions of the supreme court
in the petition of Prosecuting At
tOrney Pugh to compel Judge Huneke
Of the Spokane superior court to per-
NIT the taking Of stenographic notes
at the grand jury investigation of M.
J. Gordon, former member OF the SUI
preme court, were handed down. The
majority opinion is signed by five
members, while three dissent. Chief
Justice Rudkin Is out of town and
his name is not attached to either
opinion.
The majority opinion was written
by Judge Parker, formerly of Tacoma
a new member of the suprme bench.
His report is signed by himself and
Judges Mount, Grow, Chadwick and
Gose, while the minority opinion was
written by Judge Morris, the new
member of the supreme bench from
Seattle and concurring with him are
Judge Dunbar and Fullerton.
In his petition Prosecuting Attor-
ney Pugh contends that the prohibit
ton Of the taking of stenographic
notes will make it difficult for the
jury to follow the legal phases and
intricate details of the charges of
embezzelment against Judge Gordin.
That Pugh made a strong argument
is shown that only five or bare ma
jority of the supreme bench, decided
against him.
The minority opinion is to the eff
feet that the prosecuting attorney is
by law forced to conduct investiga-
tions and that he is entitled to ask
a writ when ruling of the court
hampers him in the discharge of his
duties, just as in this case, the court S
order intereferes with him.

dustries to the detriment of our own.
No doubt there might be some tempo
rary benefit to portion of your
transportation lines through the ad-
option of this measure. 1t is doubt
full, however if this slight advantage
which you might obtain therefrom
would not be more than offset by the
loss and injury to the general trans
portation interests and industries Of
the whole North Pacific coast coun-
try on the American side of the line.
We are firm in our belief that the
removal of the present duties from
coal and lumber is nothing more or
less than discrimination against
two of the great industries of this
section Of the country and we are
earnest in our efforts to maintain
this position. We trust that you may
not lend any efforts toward remov-
ing this necessary protection from
our industries and thereby injure the
prosperity Of the North Pacific coast
states for a long time to come.
Very truly yours,
PERCY SINCLAIR, Secretary.
1t would seem that every business
firm in this state should respectfully
urge Mr.. Hill to change his policy
in accordance with the resolutions
adopted.

York and from New York to London.
"The wires are down" will cease
to be the reason for lack OF CON-
munication during the blizzard and
freshets of winters and spring when
the wireless telephone comes into
general use. The use of wireless will
greatly mitigate the terrors of acct
dents and cave-in in mines and sub
terranean workings because all mat
ter contains ether and therefore COLI
tains the medium through which
speech is possible. In the recent
great disaster in the lake near Chi
cago when over seventy workmen
were burned to death, five miles of
shore, the telephone wires were de-
stroyed and help could not be OBJ
tained until too late. The George
w. Jackson company, which Is doing
this great work, on March 20 con-
tracted for the installation OF the
wireless telephone and will discon-
tinue the use Of the old phone which
proved so unreliable when the ter
rible accident took place. Many
other great contracting firms of Chi
cago are preparing to use the Col
Inns Wireless telephone in their work
also.
The field for the use Of the wire.
less phone is greater than that Of
the present system. In sparsely set
tied farming districts, in lumber reg
ions and in mining sections, the wire
less will afford a means of instant
communication which can be used by
one and all. On moving objects,
such as automobiles, trains and ves-
sells, communication with the gar
age or home, the different cities and
the ports ard vessels anywhere with
in a radius of over hundreds of
miles may be kept up constantly, as
the speed of the moving object
makes 10 4 renee Whale, er.
Several stations where wireless
conversations may be held are be-
ing installed in this city. The first
which will be put in operation will
be between the Citizens National
Bank building, the office of the Col
Inns Wireless telephone company, and
Hamburger's store. This is dis
lance of nearly one mile. Following
this, connection with the outlying
towns will be established and within
a short time it will be possible to
talk from Los Angeles to San Diego
and San Francisco and to other chief
cities of the Pacific Coast.
Strange as it may seem, the con-
fusion that results when several wire
less telegraph -ncoS5ageS are in the air
at the same time, does not result in
uisng the telephone. The wireless
telegraph messages do not conflict
with the wireless telephone.
The invention of the wireless tele-
phone was only to be expected in this
woodworking age and the fact
that it was put in operation on the
Pacific Coast before any other part
of the United States shows that its
inventor fully understands that the
people of the far West are those who
stand for progress first, last and al
ways.
