HUMANE SOCIETY
THINK STREETS
TOO SLIPPERY

The Tacoma Humane society
through President Griggs today
sent letter to the city commis-
sion asking that hereafter no
more brick or asphalt pavement
be laid on streets which are not
practically level. Mr.. Griggs says
a number of paved streets are
now practically useless because
horses cannot use them without
danger. He suggests experiments
to rough up the hill streets al
ready paved and would have
horses fitted with chain nail
shoes to climb grades.

Eskimo women in the long winter
nights, tightly clasped in their
hands.
Few are buried in Alaska ex-

OF the hour. II is time 70 remind the
public that there have been other

daylight that Il was tangled IN the
topmost branches Of a palm tree in
an unknown and uncharted island.
The rest OF the adventure involves
pages OF intense interest 10 boyish
readers.
Il was the first romantic story Of
a lost balloon. There are events Of
history. however. which vie in excit-
ing episode with those OF fiction.
More than fifty years ago a couple
OF balloonists we're lost in the wilds
OF Canada. In almost the Identical re-
gion in which Hawley and Post land

and John A. Haddock. On Sept %.
1885. they assembled at waterton. n.
Y. and drlfted through the dark
clouds OF night over sweeping forests.
Even through the dusk the treetops
could be looked upon as swiftly pass
ing phantoms.
For four days they wandered in
the wilderness. without food. before
they we're rescued They were not
supplied with foods. guns. fishing
tackle. provisions and bodily comforts
like the present explorers.
In September. 1879. Prof. John
Wise assembled from ST. Louis. in his
famous Pathfinder The balloon was
last seen crossing Illinois A week
later the body OF one % the passen-
gers was washed ashore from Lake
Michigan. Nothing has ever since
been heard OF Wise and no TRACE Of
the Pathfinder has ever been discov-
cred. Il is supposed both rest upon
the muddy bottom OF the lake. or in
some hidden forest depth OF Canada.
Washington II. Donaldson and a
newspaper friend assembled In Chica-

the balloon was a shadow OF the car
sweeping the waters OF Lake Michi-
gan. Later storm arose. Through
the gathering mists the balloon was
carried on and out OF sight. Moth
ing has ever been heard OF IL since.
SO, all things considered, while
Hawley and Post, have accomplished
much. and, like Rip Van Wrinkle. they
are both lucky men. They slept in
peace while tho world was disturbed,
and they have returned TO ciyiliza-
ton TO find the wreath OF fame a

BANK BILL Being SHAPED
Lawmakers at White House Night
Conference Discuss Amendments.
SmOOt Part of Postal Measure 10 Go
Overheard with Roots Is
Decision,

Republican leaders Of the Senate, after
a conference with the President at the
White House last night, expressed conf
dence in their ability to-day TO iron the
wrinkles out Of the postal savings bank
bill and bring about the passage OF the
measure before the end Of next week.
The conference was attended by Sena-
tors Aldrich, Root, Crane, Carter, and
Penrose, and Representative Weeks.
Senator Penrose is chairman Of the
Senate Committee on Post-off1ces and Post
Roads, and Representative Weeks holds
a corresponding position in the House.
The result of the conference viii be an
effort in the Senate to-day to get to-
gether all friends Of the bill on q COM
mon ground. which involves the with
dTawaI Of Senator Roots amendment re-
quiring the investment Of the funds only
in government securities and the recon-
sideration of the vote by which Senator
Shoots amendment was adopted.
The SmOot amendment makes provision
for the investment by the United States
Treasurer OF postal funds refused as de-
pOsits by the banks in the States in which
collected. The Senator from Utah was
unwilling yesterday TO yield his amend
ment, but it is thought that rather than
imperil the passage Of the bill he viii
yield Senator SmOot was told by the
leaders yesterday that the matter Of in
vesting postal funds turned into the
United States Treasury by the postmRs-
tiers after being refused by the banks
was amply provided for by the general
authority conferred by the bill.
He disagreed with the view, but was
not arbitrary. The Senator from Utah
insisted that If his amendment were
eliminated the funds would be invested
only in government securities.
Senator Bailey will address tho Senate
on the bill Tuesday. taking the view that
Il is unconstitutional There are other
speeches to be made. Senator Carter ex-
pressed the hope yesterday that q vote
would be had on the bill in the Senate as
early as Thursday, but his optimism as
to an early disposition Of the bill is not
shared by the other Senate leaders. That
the measure VIII pass soon is generally
predicted.
