A tankard was made of precious

the most ancient specimens are the
"peg tankards." These are said TO have
been introduced by st. Dunstan as
check on the intemperance Of his day.
Pegs marked the tankard at intervals

vice proved the means Of aggravating
the evil it was intended to remedy, Tor
as a refinement on st. Dunstan's sim

were required when the tankard went
round to drink precisely to a peg indi-

Christians. the result apparently Of
their incorporate habits, Caxton pro
ceeds, 'In this manere somtyme they

helpe, and yet endureth the custome."
A curious superstition with regard to
sneezlng still fingers in the villages OF
Devonshire. It has found expression
in the following co1plet:
Sneeze on Sunday morning fasting.
You'll enjoy your own true love to ever

In the highlands of Scotland 1t is
believed that a newborn child is under
the thrall of the fairies until 1t sneezes.

But for Napoleon" said the spool,
az like the Arc de Triomphe, would

time thread was made only Of silk and
of wool. Napoleon to ruin the English

this crisis the Paisley spinners turned
to cotton. After tremendous labor
they at last made cotton thread. Cot

Special Attorney for Government Sc
verely Arraigns Counsel for
Defense-Denies All
of Charges


TULSA, Okla, April 7.-When the
third days hearing OF the case OF
Governor Charles n. Haskell and the
half dozen other Oklahomans under
indictment charged with fraud in Mus
kogee town lots began in the united
States circuit court here today Sylves-
ter Bush, the special attorney for the
government, made his argument for
the prosecution.
He directed his argument against
the motion of the defense to quash
the indictments on the ground that he
had conducted the grand jury inves-
tfgation at Muskogee improperly.
Mr. Rush severely arraigned counsel
for the defense and denied that he had
acted improperly or attempted to bias
witnesses that had been called before
the grand jury. He recalled that the
grand jurors who testified yesterday
had said that his conduct, on the other
hand, had been proper.
Mr.. Rush was followed by Judge c..
d. Stewart for the defense.
Arguments concluded. the motion
was taken under ADJUSTMENT by United
States District Judge John A. Marshall
of Utah, who is trying the case.
A decision is not expected for sew
eral days.
If the motion is overruled attorneys
for Governor Haskell will argue on a
demurrer.

BUT TWO WAYS TO BREAK
DEADLOCK IN PORTO RICO
Natice Says Government Must Display
Greater Liberal Expansion or
Impose Tyranny

NEW YORK, April 7.-Senor Luis
Munoz Riviera, chairman of the com
mission now at Washington which is
seeking to adjust the differences of the
executive council (senate) and the
house of delegates in Porto Rico, dis
cussed at length here yesterday the
troubles on the island.
He is the leader of the Union party.
which controls the house of delegates.
After going into details of differences
he concluded by saying:
"And let me say that the deadlock
established in Porto Rico is of such an
acute character that for it's solution
there are only two ways open to the
federal government, either to display a
greater liberal expansion, which will
win for it the love of our people, or to
impose on us tyrannical oppression.
which will yawn as an abyss between
the countries.
LAS the majority of the electors are
Unionists, that political party will al
ways have control of the lower house,
and that means that. at whatever cost.
the executive council will always be
looked at as an unbearable burden.
Even if the government sides with the
opposition, the majority will manifest
it's will through the election of it's own
men unless the authorities see fit to
use force. in which case 1t would be an
open despotism."

MISSOURI MAY VOTE ON
PROHIBITION AMEND MENT
Governor Suggests Legislature Con-
slider ACCESSIBILITY of Creating
Controversy on Liquor

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, April t.
Whether by submitting to the voters
of the state a proposed constitutional
providing for statewide
prohibition and thus making the sub
ject matter of active controversy for
two years, any useful public purpose
would be served, was declared by Gov
ernor Hadley today to be the test by
which the legislature would treat the
measure.
This opinion was expressed in spe-
cial message which the executive ad-
dressed to the general assembly, and
in which he discussed the liquor issue
at some length.
Governor Hadley declared that abso-
Lutte prohibition was mentioned in the
platform of neither of the major politt-
cal parties of the state, and therefore
the legislature is free to dispose of 1t
as it may see fit.
He favored the severing of saloons
from breweres and distilleries and OF
whisky dealers from politics. Stringent
laws against the sale of liquors in
counties which have adopted local OPP
ton is recommended.

BREAD FAILS TO RISE, so
BAKER LEAPS INTO OCEAN
One of Cooks Aboard Steamer MARI
posa Said to Have Ended
His Life

SAN FRANCISCO. April IF that
bread doesn't rise I'll jump into the
sea-" F. H. Sluhme. baker on board
the steamer Mariposa, is reported to
have said just before he disappeared
from the deck of the steamer on
March 81 while the vessel was plow-
ing through tropic seas en- route from
Tahiti to San Francisco
When the Mariposa arrived in port
today the officers reported the dis
appearance of Sluhme and the circum-
stances surrounding it appear to in
dictate that nervous, worried and eX-
asperated because his dough would not
rise. the chief baker had committed
suicide.
According to statements by helpers
in the kitchen, despite Sluhme's ut
most efforts he found his bread heavy
and unsatisfactory.
Unable to account for the action of
the yeast Sluhme is said to have re-
marked that if the next batch was not
better he would jump into the sea.
The following morning the baker
was missing.
