United States engineer in Los Angeles,
by George Stone, president of the fish
and game commission of California, for
permission to maintain certain stakes

ready there were there contrary to
law and that if they were not removed
by December l of last year he would

WISE HUSBAND BUYS
SHIRTWAISTS FOR WIFE
Neither Color Nor Size Made
Any Difference, Said He

Speaking of the fads and foibles of
the sweetsome sex the other day. Judge
John c. Horner at Mount Holly re-
lated a little incident which shows
that at least one poor old married man
is wise to the ways of wifey.
Some time ago. the judge said, a
friend of his who lives in a suburban
town was asked by his wife to get her
a ready made shirtwaist while he was
in this city and instead of raising a
majestic yelp, kicking the kioodle
through the door of the crystal closet
and knocking down the stovepipe, he
merely replied that he would be happy
to oblige.
The noon hour found him in a de-
partment store, and after locating the
counter where female toggery is sold
and waiting for his turn at bat, he
gently remarked TO the saleslady that
he would like to have shirtwaist for
his wife.
said the saleslady, hauling out SO or
less. What color do you prefer?"
"It doesn't make any difference re-
piled the husband.
Il believe she would like this one
returned the saleslady. What size do
you want?
1T doesn't make any difference was
the surprising answer of the purchaser
Doesn't make any difference,' ex-
claimed the wondering saleslady. st
should think that 1t would make a
whole lot of difference
''Oh, no. 1t doesn't" insisted the wise
hubby. sNo matter what color I got
her, or what size / got her, I would
have to come back tomorrow and have
it exchanged anyhow."-Philadelp

FORGER WIRES TO
NAVY DEP ARTMENT
False Statement Represents
That BattIeship Florida Was
Torn From Moorings

NEW YORK, June 1.-Two forged
kilograms signed with the name of
Rear Admiral Leutze, commandant of
the Brooklyn navy yard. were sent
from Brooklyn to the navy department
yesterday-one to Washington and one
to Captain Fremont, commandant of
the Boston navy yard. Both reported
that the battleship Florida had been
torn from her moorings in yesterday s
storm and had gone adrift.
I did report to the department the
accidn to the floating cane. Hercules, .
said Read Admiral Leutze tonight, but
l sent no message about the Florida.
Captain Fremont" he continued,
was asked to send to the Brooklyn
navy yard floating crane with a lift
ing capacity of 20 tons. Assistant Sec
retary Winthrop wired me today that
he had received word from Captain
Fremont that the captain got a dispatch
from me saying that L did not want
the crane. 1 sent no such dispatch"
Secretary Meyer visited the navy
yard in Breeklyn today to view the
damage wrought by yesterdays storm,
which snapped off the crane and upset
and partly submerged the government s
$250,000 floating derrick Hercules. The
Hercules had been hosting armor plate
on board the battleship Florida, but
the Florida was not scratched.
Meyer said that he had <telegraphed
to Washington that~repair work on the
derrick would begin at once and re-
questing that 100000 to finance the
work be inserted in the emergency ap-
preparation bill.
1T is important that we start at
once" he said, otherwise there will be
long delay in completing the Florida.
The Florida was not hurt in the
least" he continued. Two sections of
armor plate, weighing 30 tons each,
were knocked fro mthe floor and are
under water, but / think we can repair
the damage in Is days provided the ap-
preparation is made
Work was begun on the overturned
Hercules by a wrecking company today.
Divers recovered the two plates which
went down when the Hercules was
overturned

THEORIES ADVANCED TO
EXPLAIN SMUGGLING
Harvard Savant Gives Reason
for the Practice

According to Prof. Hugo MuenSter-
berg, the Harvard psychologist, the
reason why rich people smuggle is their
inability to personify the government.
In other words, so vague is their real
iZation as to where. and to what, will
go the money they are asked to pay on
the goods they bring into the country
when they return from abroad that
they do not feel they are rohbing any
body when they avoid as much of the
payment as they can.
This is an interesting theory, and
there may be something in it-there
usually is when Professor Muenster-
berg talks about anything except beer
but we suspect that. of all who doubt
it's adequacy and accuracy, those whose
conduct 1t is expected to explain will be
the most dubious, says the New York
Times.
Former Governor Rollins. for in
stance, evolved a pleasing assortment
Of excuses when he was caught snug
Cling. the other day, and his ingenious
counsel devised several more, but
neither of them pleaded for mercy on
the ground that the eminent New
Hampshire protectionist couldn't get
clearly before his minds eye picture
of Uncle Sam, sitting at the receipt of
custom and implacably demanding from
all his sons and daughters the where
withal for running the family home
Professor Muensterberg hasn't been
in the United States very long, else
would, he have learned that most of us.
and the rich even more than the poor,
can personify the government with ex-
treme ease. At any rate we can when
we want IL to do something for us.
Then we turn promptly and with
touching confidence to "Washington,"
and are either indignant or grieved or
both If whatever we want is not forth
coming. But of course giving is a very
different thing from getting, and prob
ably there turks in many minds an i'm
preston, naturally strongest in those
who know most about the workings of
the protective system. that as the
amount of revenue which the tariff
brings to the government is trivial as
compared with the tax it imposes on
the public, to pay duties that can be
escaped is hardly worth while
And smuggling is not a popularity
of the rich IT is not true that every
body smuggles, but it probably is true
that almost everybody who scrupu-
lously declares" every foreign pur-
chase does ii because of an abnormally
vivid appreciation of the unpleasant
consequences that may follow, and
nowadays are rather more than likely
to follow, an attempt to fool the in
spectors. Only the exceptional con-
science sees any moral turpitude in
the sort of smuggling tourists do, and
the number of them who are restrained
only by fear is beyond computation by
anybody except professional mathema-
ticians

AUSTIN'S MUSE
NEVER VERY PROLIFIC

1t is not strange that the muse of
the poet laureate has failed to rise to
the occasion. Since Alfred Austin has
occupied the post once filled by Tenny-
son he has produced nothing of conse-
quence. His muse has failed him al
ways, says the New York Times. There
Is no need of mincing words about
Austin. A man of culture, whose prose
style is excellent, who has written
some respectable verse, he has so
borne himself in the ONCE thrust upon
him by Lord Salisbury's government as
to Justify the idea that poet laureate
nowadays is an anachro9ism. Even
an anachronism may have beauty of
its own and a fair share of dignity
too. But Austin's occasional" verses
are never beautiful and rarely dignified.

DRYDOCK DEWEY MAY BE
FLOATED, BUT USELESS
Navy Department Strategists
Fear Rust Caused Wreck

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The dry
dock Dewey, which recently sank at
Olongape, will be afloat again this
week, as the wreckers have made ex-
cellent progress.
The reason for the sinking of the
monster drydock has not yet been dis
covered. The suggestion has been
made, based on a recent report that a
hole had been found in the side of the
dock, that the Dewey may be practf-
cally rusted away, although it has been
but four years in tropical waters.
Another suggestion is that the hole
was caused by purely local corrosion
due to electrolysis, which, of course,
would minimize the damage.
The strategists of the navy depart
ment are dismayed at the thought that
the Dewey, the only drydock available
for American use in time of war in
the far east, may be useless.
