"DoLLAR A DAY FOR LIFE"
Grand Army Men Begin New Pension
Campaign.

Atlantic City, N. j. - Veterans at
tending the national encampment of
the G. A. R. were formally welcomed
to Atlantic City at monster meeting
on the Million Dollar pier.
The big event is the parade Wednes-
day. Vice President Sherman will re-
view the veterans, with Commander in
Chief Van SAINT and Lieutenant Cen
eral Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., re-
tired.
One thing noticed at the various
meetings was the definite shape the
movement for increasing the pensions
of veterans is taking. The cry was
"A Dollar Day for Life" The ma
tional encampment is expected to take
up the matter.
The National Association of Naval
Veterans believes it has a solution of
the matter of placing statue of Gen
eral Robert E. Lee in the capitol at
Washington. The association at its
convention adopted resolutions in
which it did not oppose the placing of
Lees statue in the capitol provided it
appeared in civilian attire. The naval
veterans elected William G. McEwen,
Philadelphia, commodore.

LONG SHOT ACCURATE.
Atlantic Fleet Gunners Hit Small
Marks at g Miles.

Portsmouth, Va.-The Atlantic fleet,
the pride of the American navy, de-
monstrated that no mark was too small
for it to hit if it showed anywhere
above the horizon.
Eight of the sixteen big battleships,
forming the first squadron and headed
by Rear-Admiral Schroeder's flagship,
the Connecticut, peppered four targets,
each one-fifth the size of an ordinary
warship, at range greater than10, 900
yards, or more than six miles.
The Delaware, one of the two Amer
ican super-dreadnaughts, cut away her
target at the first salvo. The other
ships of the feet, including the Della
wares sister ship, the North Dakota,
the Connecticut, the Louisiana, the
Kansas, the Michigan, the New Hamp-
shire, and the South Carolina, also
found the range accurately.
The target floats were towed in
single file by one battleship which was
not shooting. Some of the shells
dropped 500 feet astern and gave a
realistic aspect of battle.

STRAW KILLS TONS OF FISH
Indiana Health Expert Believes He
Has Solved Puzzle Whore Fac
tory Refuse Is Dumpted.

Muncie, Ind.-A complete invest1ga-
ton of the slaughter of fish In the
Mississinnewa river, when tons Of fish
were found dead in the stream, Is be-
ing conducted in Delaware and Grant
counties by State Fish Commissioner
Miles.
The secretary of the state board Of
health, DR.. j. N. Hurry, has advanced
a new reason for the death of fish in
streams that are used by strawboard
companies. He says that in his opin-
ion there is no poison in the refuse
emptied into the water from straw
board and paper mills that is destruo-
tive to animal life, as has always
been supposed, but that the fish are
killed by minute particles Of straw.
from this refuse, entering their gills
and shutting of their supply Of oxy-
gen.
The strawboard companies say. as
indicative Of the purity Of the water
In the streams below their mills, that
cattle on farms will leave the pure
water of the streams to drink that
which is slightly colored with the ref
use from the strawboard mills, and
the companies further say that milk
and butter from cows drinking the
adulterated water is purer and sweet
er than any other.

Account of Option Law.
Lincoln, Neb.-In a statement in
which he declares that the crusade
which he feels impelled to wage
against the liquor interests of the state
and nation overshadows personal and
political friendship of 20 years, Will
liam ]. Bryan announced he had bolted
the head of the Democratic state ticket
in Nebraska and would not support
James C. Dahlman for governor
Mr.. Bryan says he regrets that he is
compelled to take the stand he does
his first departure from political regu-
larity-but says he feels it his duty to
do so because of the position taken by
the Democratic nominee on the liquor
question.
The statement, which in way is
apologetic in tone, does not indicate
that Mr.. Bryan will support the candi-
date of any other party, but announces
that he is a pronounced advocate of
county option and the early saloon
closing law, both of which he insists
are menaced by Mr.. Dahlman's can
didacy.

Fur Catch Unusually Big.

Edmonton, Alberta-Edward Hagle,
one of the largest independent fur
dealers in the North country, who has
passed half lifetime at the business,
is authority for the statement that the
fur catch of the past winter, which is
now beginning to arrive from the
North, will net the trappers more than
$780, 900. Mink and marten have been
more plentiful this year, he says, but
foxes and beaver. were very scarce, sill
yer foxes especially 80. This year only

RATES NOT TOO HIGH.
Railroads Expenses Increase When
Traffic Grows.
Labor Is Blamed for Increased Cost
of Operation-Reguation Can
not Change Conditions.

Chicago-William Ellis, interstate
commerce attorney for the St. Paul
road, presented formidable array of
figures in the freight rate hearing be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion.
Mr.. Ellis had columns of figures, the
bulk of which almost staggered the
representatives of the shippers, which
showed that for the past 10 years the
cost Of conducting transportation,
apart from the administration cost,
had steadily increased in a proportion
out of line with the increase in net
revenue. In other words, the cost of
furnishing a given unit of service to
the people had steadily risen instead of
decreasing, as it should, with an in
crease in the volume of traffic.
"There is a gradual growing cost of
operation that is getting worse each
year, and is worse the more business
q railroad does," he said.
To illustrate this cost, Mr.. Ellis took
as his unit of service 1000 tons of
freight moved one mile. The cost of
moving this in 1901 was 1920 on the
St. Paul road, and the cost of making
the same movement in 1910 had risen
to So. SO, which meant an increase of
more than $4,000,000 to the st. Paul
road. Showing how the consumer was
affected, the witness presented table
giving the increase in the cost to the
shipper on many articles if the new
commodity rates should be permitted
to go into effect.
Mr.. Ellis took the valuation made by
several railroad commissions of the
property of the st. Paul within their
states and declared that the road is
worth, according to that basis, at
least $293, 900, 900. The capitalization
of the property thus valued is little
more than 1886, 900, 900. The average
net return since 1906 had been about
per cent.
The remarkable financial returns of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
during the last ten years, were brought
out by attorneys for the shippers.
The witness for the road was w. A.
Gardner, vice president in charge of
operations and maintenance of that
road.
His testimony elected on cross-ex-
animation by Attorney Frank Lyon for
the commission, was, in short, that the
company thought itself justified in
raising freight charges, in spite of the
fact that in ten years it had returned
to its stockholders in direct dividends
and in unappropriated surplus more
than the amount of the capital stock.

Good Animal story, II True.

Near a farmhouse in the Midlsnds
of England was large pond and on
the lawn between 1t and the house an
old family horse used to Craze. One
day someone left baby asleep on a
blanket under a tree not far from
the pond. When It awoke It saw some
swans on the pond, and began to creep
towards the water, Il had got almost
to the waters edge when the horse
trotted up gently anc gathered the
baby's clothes in his teeth and carried
It up to the house. The baby was star
tied and began to cry, and the moth
er rushed out Of the house and found
her child dangling from the horses
mouth. She quickly took it, and the
good old horse, whinnying gently,
vent back to his grazing.

SUBURBAN CARS CRASH;
FORTY-ONE ARE DEAD

Fort Wayne, Ind. -Forty-one persons
were killed and seven were seriously
injured in head-on collision between
two traction cars on the Fort Wayne
Bluffton division of the Fort Wayne
& Wabash Valley line.
The wreck occurred one and one-half
miles north of Kingsland,. at sharp
curve. The cars in collision were a
northbound local, crowded to the steps.
which left Bluffton at IL: :15 O'Clock
and a southbound extra car from Fort
Wayne. They met while both were
running at high speed.
The motormen of the two cars had
no time to set the brakes when they
sighted each other. The heavily-load-
ed northbound car was crushed and the
bodies of the dead and injured were
strewn on either side of the track amid
the wreckage. The screams Of the in
jured men and women following the
crash of the cars brought the neigh
boring farmers to the scene.

TO HAVE 1000 AIRsHIPs.
Son of Thomas F. Ryan Agrees to
Organize Fleet.

Son of Thomas F. Ryan Agrees to
Organize Fleet.
Washington-John Barry Ryan, son
of Thomas F. Ryan, the New York
multi-millionaire, succeeded in driving
the officials of the War and Navy de-
partments into a state of enthusiasm
over his plan to provide the army and
navy with a fleet of airships that
would augment tremendously the often
sive and defensive powers of the twin
services.
The attractive feature of Mr.. Ryan's
proposition was its economical side;
he did not ask dollar of government
money in return for the collection of
a reserve of about a thousand aero
planes that might be called immediate
ly into service Eby the government in
event of need. What he did want was
the moral support of the two depart
ments. This was given him with a
hearty good will.
Efforts will be made to develop aero
planes of greater size than those now
in use, so as to transport corporal's
guard and to carry sufficient ammuni-
tion for effective bomb work.

HUNG HER CASH OUT TO DRY
Delaware Woman Forgot Big Roll Of
Bills Until Il Was Almost
Too Late.

Rehoboth, DeL-A weeks washing
Of S5 bills, pinned on line to dry,
was the result Of a bath which Mrs.
Daniel Townsend took and In which
no one can understand why the money
did not drift out to sea.
Mrs. Townsend is the wife Of a
prominent Rehoboth hotel man, and In
taking her usual surf bath she did
not remove that portion Of her apparel
which the average woman uses as her
pocketbook.
During the bath the surf played It's
usual pranks, and, although the bands
used to hold the money in its place
were several times loosened. the
money was found intact although re-
duced almost to a pulp when Mrs.
Townsend started to remove the bath
ing apparel
II took several hours Of careful dry
ing on an improvised linn before the
bills were IN shape to be taken to q
bank and redeemed for more sub
stantial ones.

Western Apples Popular.

Washington-Americsn apples tempt
the English buyer. In proof of this
statement, Albert W. Swain, Ameri-
can consul at Southampton, reports
that a shipment of apples from the
Wenatchee section of Washington COM
manded higher price than any other
American apple ever offered in the
open English market, much of the ship
ment being sold at from to IL cents
a pound and eagerly taken at that
price.
The secret of success, he says, is for
the American shipper to send good
fruit well packed and keep out of an
auction where a commission may con-
troll prices.
