''These fgures,' declares the report of the democratic members of the committee on ship ping subsidies, ''are eloquent in support of our contention that no good can come of further extension of the Act of March 3, 1S91'' the act under which the mail line to England is now subsidized by the United States).
 The minority report does not content itself with showing the futility of shipping subsidies It provides way to build up our declining mer- chant marine without any cost whatever to the taxpayers by extending American registry to ships built abroad, and by providing for reduc- ton of per cent in customs duties on goods carried ln American bottoms The Spight bill provides, however, that foreign-built vessels to which American registry is extended must be owned wholly by citizens of the United States or corporations whose stockholders are all citi- zens of the United States, and shall not engage in the coastwise trade. These provisions are for the benefit of American shipbuilders.
 "Free ships' says the minority report, ''can hurt no business or interest except the Steel trust. It will do no injustice to this greedy cor poration, but simply take from it part of the unholy gain which it has been so long exacting from its helpless customers. It has been abund- antly shown that steel products which enter into the construction of ships have been delivered m foreign yards, after paying land and ocean frelghts, much cheaper than was charged our home buyers.
 ''This section will compel the Steel trust to compete with the foreign producers, to the great advantage of American shipbuilders and ship owners.
 We propose to break the 'strange hod' of the Steel trust by admitting free of duty all foreign products to be used in building ships for any purpose domestic or foreign We shall ex- pect the Steel trust and it's friends to oppose it. The friends of an American merchant ma rine and the common people, should align them selves in support of the proposed change in existing law.''

BEANS THAT DANCE
 COME FROM MEXICO
Indians Use Them for Cure.
 of Insomnia

Common enough in some store win dOws in New York are the Mexican jumping beans, and those who ask are. told that little worm inside the bean makes it jump so oddly, but that is about as far as anyone gets who seeks. for knowledge. Really, however, the jumping bean is one of the wonders cf the vegetable kingdom.
 In the Yaqui river country of west ern and northern Mexico there grows bush which looks very much like the ordinary coffee bush. It ranges from three to four feet in height and bears hundreds of blossoms that are of a soft olive green tint before they ripen, when they turn buff gray. Each blossom holds two fertile seeds, and third. or living seed, which is the home of a small, exceedingly active worm, which becomes beautifully colored moth when it escapes from its prison cell.
 The seed of the "Carpo- Capso Sal. titians" Dumping beansJ are planted in January, and as the climate is always mild in the lowlands of the Yaqui coun try they blossom in May. Then the fe., male moth deposits one egg on the pol. len of the flower. As the flower devel. ops 1t forms a triangular shaped shell on two sides with a convex shape on the other side. Within this the chrys- alis develops into grayish brown worm about one-tenth of an inch in diameter and half inch long, This woim lives on the inside of it's prison cell or shell for six months, or until the month of November. Then, if the climatic con ditions are favorable and warm. it bores through the end of its cell and fits away as beautiful moth, to mate it's turn and perpetuate its species.
 If, however, it is brought in the bean to colder climate, the worm will die in the shell. If one cuts a tiny hole m the end of the jumping bean about an eighth of an inch in diameter. in less than one hour the worm will cover the brea k with white, fiber-like exu. dation from its stomach, working the mouth round and round the opening nm til the hole in the shell is completely closed.
 The Yaqui Indians use the iumpipg beans to cure isomnia. Placed in . piece of dried palm leaf or bark. tbev make a noise not unlike the pattering or rain on tin roof, which, they say, IS very productive of sleep.

h The Halls of Congress
BY TAV.
Special Washington Correspondence.

Although it is not known, Uncle Sam now sub sidizes few mail steamship lines. Our heaviest subsidized line is from New Y ork to England. If it is true, as the Taft-Humphrey ship sub sidy bill asserts that trade follows subsidies, why is it that our exports to the United King dom in the ten years between 1897 and 1907 in creased by p per cent, while our exports to nine countries to which we have no subsidized lines increased from 105 to 4900 per cent?
 This is only one of the points showing that trade does not follow subsidies, made in the report of the minority of the committee on mer- chant marine and fisheries, and submitted to the house of representatives. Spight of Mississippi, who is one of the best posted men in the country on shipping subsidies, drew the report.
 While our exports to the United Kingdom in creased but 25 per cent, our exports to countries to which we have no subsidized lines increased as follows between 1897 and 1907:

The ministers of Los Angeles have taken a stand in opposition to high license on saloons, advancing the idea that 'every increase in the saloon license tightens the hold of the saloon on the community" If there is anything in this logic it might be well for the ministers to advo- cate high license on the church.

To UNLOAD
On CITY

AS announced by The Press last
fall. when the njustices heaped
upon the water consumers Of the
Cannondale district by the Jones
arm of the HiIlyard Water Co. we're
exposed, the company had the pur-
pose in view Of selling its plant to
the city of Spokane.
Last night the Arthur d. Jones
Co. filed with the city council re
quest that the city buy its plant.
The report cites the very excellent
condition in which the wooden main
water system owned by the syndi-
cate is alleged to be at the present
time, what a great revenue pro-
Queer it is. and how advantageous
to the city it would be to buy it.
Just after the proposition of the
Jones company was read the city
council refused to accept wooden
water main system in Monroe park
as a gift, so the chances of the
Jones crowd. which was repre-
scented on the floor of the council
last night by Gordon c, Corbaley,
of unloading its plant on the city
are not very good.
When The Press produced the
facts 10 show the tyrannical manner
in which the Jones company has
handled the good people of Cannon
dale and adjacent additions it was
then said that the purpose of this
abuse was to irritate the people
that they would rise and demand
the purchase of the plant by the
city, through a sheer desire to be
free from Jones.
The citizens of the Cannondale
district do not want the city to
buy the Jones plant, but ask that
the city lay its own steel mains into
that territory.

he will attempt to incorporate I'M

il is reported that this fact has
been laid before Rockefeller and
he has sanctioned the plan TO seek
incorporation elsewhere.
The principal DIRECTORS TO the
foundation scheme are Senators

HALF HOLIDAY

There is a prospect for a Satur-

during the baseball season. Last
night a petition was presented by
the clerks and subordinate officials
at the city hall asking the council
to close the building on Saturday
afternoon at O'Clock during July
August and September. Council
man Lambert announced that he
had drawn up an ordinance which
would care for the request, so that
there was no councilmanic action
on the petition direct. The chances
are good for the boys being able

slight bruises on the neck. The fly
ing tank tore an eighteen-inch hole
In the ceiling, crashing into Morris

lily was at dinner. The table was shat
tered and the Viands were plastered
against the ceiling.
The conclusion blew out the glass
store front of Samuel Kaplan, adjoin-

Whether overcharging or careless
ness caused the explosion is not
known. KatZ, who was thirty-three
years old. had worked at the business
since he was ten. With his wife and
two children, he lived at Belmar.
Katz had just bought the business
from Popok and took possession Tues
day. The explosion drew a big crowd
of excited persons and policemen were
called to control them.
