DISPATCHING BY PHONE WILL
THROW OPERATORS OUT OF WORK

(. Plans for the elimination Of the
telegraph in train dispatching on
the Great Northern railway will be
tried out through this part Of the
territory within the next few
weeks, and 1t is not improbable that
as result OF the experiment, the
telephone will ultimately take the
place Of the key and sounder all
along Jim Hills road. Telephoning
of train dispatches will be taken
up on the Spokane division begin
ming this week, according to infor-
nation that has been secured from
local officials.
On the Kalispell division Of the
Great Northern, the dispatching of
trains by the use of the telephone
has already been tried out, 1t Is
declared, and, apparently, it Is q
success. With the plan now map
ped out in effect, a large item Of
expense will be cut out ana dan
gers Of accidents from operators
along the line being asleep on the
job will be lowered to a minimum.
On the Spokane division alone,
from Troy, Mont, to Leavenworth,

displace three dispatchers, who are

each. The system will be SO ar

NOTE STATE CLAIMS AS BLIND TO COVER MURDER

Found pinned on the nightgown
worn by Ocey Snead when her
emaciated body was found lifeless
In bathtub in an old house in the
suburbs Of Newark, N. j., last No
vember, this note, reproduced here,
forms what the attorneys for the
state believe will prove to be the
strongest link In the chain which
they will endeavor to weave around
time old women, two of them the
aunts and one the mother Of the
young woman, charging them with
her murder.
The state has one physician who
saw Ocey Snead almost daily until
her death, by whom the state hopes
to prove that Ocey Sneads weak
hands could not have framed the
firm characters in the note. Other
notes, written in a like hand, were
found in possession Of the girls
mother, Mrs. Caroline Martin, when
she was arrested, weeks after her
daughters death.
The theory of the states attor-
ney is that Mrs. Martin Virginia
Wardlaw and Mrs. Mary Snead,
Oceys' aunt and mother-in-law, con-
spired to kill Ocey Snead, and
either did kill her or forced her to
commit suicide In order that they
might receive life insurance poll

KEEPS THE PEACE IN A TOUGH
MINING CAMP FOR 81 A MONTH

and about two score of husky min
ers were we'll on their way to riot,
instruction and rebellion, when
Matt hurriedly left his bed. He pro-
jected himself into the human
tangle with all the impetuosity of
a comet. BY the time he reached
the vortex of the riot, the parti-
cipants were stepping on the down
and cutters and when he came
through on the other side. peace
of fully "a hours was established
to the satisfaction Of all concerned
except Matt.
All that day he toiled and when
the Sunday sun was sinking, Matt
had an even 20 of the disturbers
of the calm locked up in an i'm
provised Jail. And each and every
one of the 20 represented rough
and tumble fight, nothing barred,
with from three to seven friends
and relatives or neighbors to help
them out.

cious. He yearns for peaceful
existence, most of all for Mrs. Star.
wich's sake. Every time Matt has
to break UP a riot, his clothing has
to be cleaned and repaired and all
this means work for Mrs. Starwich.
OF course, there are times when
the company's seamstress. the doc
tor. has to do little patching on
Mats head, but then that's what
the doctor is paid for, and 1t is
none of MATHS business II the
medico has to earn his salary
For all this, Matt Is paid the
magnificent salary of 81 month
by King county. He did get $75
but refused to do some dirty polit'
ical work which resulted In the re
duction by the county commission
ers. He is still on the job, how
ever, hoping for better political
times next fall.

swear he was called to the house IN
this city and made a photograph
of Ocey Snead as she lay in bed,
and that during his stay in the
house the old women frequently
told Ocey she was going to die.
The doctor will swear the old wo-
men did not want him to call on
the girl, but that she could have
lived had she had proper nourish-
ment. He will testify that on one
occasion he was compelled to climb
through a window to enter the
house, and that Mrs. Caroline Mar
tin, the girls own mother, appear
ed to have a powerful and strange
influence over her and the other
two women.

MT. WEATHER. Va. May 2s.-
While high altitude observations
are made mostly with kites, the
United States weather bureau
scientists have to use balloons
when the winds too light at the
observatory. These are red rubber
balloons inflated with hydrogen.
Each balloon Is about three feet
tall when inflated. There Is enuogh
gas to lift recording instruments
to immense heights. With these
balloons observations have been
taken at the immense height of Is
miles-S0,000 feet-far above the
point man may attain and still live.
The rubber balloons cost $50
apiece. and as each balloon de-
stroys itself in making a success
full flight. the cost Of furnishing
balloons to the scientists Is con.
siderable. Often eight or ten bal
looms a day are sent up.
The instruments on the balloon
cost SIS. The scientists at the
station have devised a neat plan
for getting the instruments back.
At the level OF the ground there
is heavy air pressure upon the
inflated balloon. AS the balloon
rises this pressure diminishes. and
consequently the gas inside the
balloon expands. increasing the size
of the bag.
When the balloon reaches a tire
mendous hight this expansion ia
sufficient to burst the balloon. In

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In one
respect at least VIM. Howard Taft
has his predecessors beaten block.
Whether he is making good as a
president doesn't cut much figure
with his statesmanly record as a
traveller.
Taft is the champion globe trot-
ter" of all the worlds rulers. He
has travelled farther and been away
from the nations capital city longer
than the first 10 American presi-
dents combined.
If he is not spending more for
railroad tickets than the $25, 900
travelling expenses allowed annually
by congress he must go second
class sometimes, which by the way
he never does.
President Taft has made % IN
dividual trips from Washington
since his Inauguration, Just lit
tie over Is months ago. One trip
took him practically over the en-
tire country and into Mexico, dur
Ing which time the white house"
was on the go IS days.
|, He spent 108 days of his first $50
as president away from Washing
ton. One-third of the first year of
his term was spent away from the
white house, and he has maintained
that record during the first three
months of the second year.
3 The east has been especially IA
yored by the champion presidential
ttraveler. He no more than returns
From hike down into Virginia or
the Carolinas than he hot-foots 1t
|up to New York or the New Eng
land states. Once he did get out
west, but the west does not appeal
Ito Taft much nowadays. Not long
since he returned to his executive
desk from jaunt through the mid.
die states, merely tapping the west
at st. Louis.
With the exception of few esat.
ern trips Taft will probably stay on
the Job at the white house until
Roosevelt returns, when 1t Is very
likely that William will be on hand
to welcome the colonel. Taft had
expected to go to Alaska this sum
mer, but the frightening Of this
session of congress has put damp
err on that and Taft has bottled II
up for 1911.
But this does not mean that the
big American traveller expects to
stay at home the balance Of the
year. He has a date with Cincin'
natl in August, and one with San
Antonio. Tex. to participate in the

SEATTLE, May 23.-To be the
gu mtotal of the law and order IN
an exuberant coal mining town Of
some 1900 population is some job.
Ordinarily It would not be sought
by small man. Yet Matt Starwich;
the Fighting Deputy Sheriff" Is
physically and vocally small--that
is, when the peace and dignity OF
Ravensdale is not being too rudely
interfered with. Otherwise, he as
sumes prodigious proportions.
Ravensdale is tucked up on the
west slope OF the Cascade noun
tains, the reason for its existence
being several coal mines. The coal
Is mined by brawny foreign-speak-
ing men who come from antagon-
istic quarters of southeastern Eu-
rope. On Sundays and holidays. old
racial antagonisms break out anew,
and Pole and Greek, Roumanian
and Italian are likely to become in
volved in a polyglot row in a cheap
saloon.
1t Is then that little Matt" be-
comes visible to the naked eye, II
the eye is fast enough to follow his
movements.
The best illustration Of his
method of assault Is the suddenly
released handspring Of an alarm
clock.
otherwise he might be described
as an avalanche, earthquake, ty-
phoon and acute seasickness rolled
into $50 squat pounds of bone and
muscle armed with pair of fists
that seem to have 10-foot reach
60 to the minute.
Recently there was an outbreak
in Ravensdale. some old grudge OF
the Balkans, Salonika,. or the sub
urbs of Warsaw need attention,

merchants had reported losse.
A watch was set and finally q
fashionably dressed woman was
seen to enter, and 10 cent store
and place her three year old daugh-
ter on the counter. The child from
force of habit" began picking up
little trinkets. When the daughter
obtained the desired piece, the
mother walked out, carrying the
child in her arms. If the daughter
was seen playing" with the jew
elry, the mother would profusely
apologize and say, 81 didn't know
she was doing that. Babies will
play with everything they get their
hands on"
Now that the mystery is ex-
planned. the detectives have thrown
aside their wigs and their DISCUSSES

Anybody who finds the para
chute gets So for notifying the
station.
The station also gets observa-
tons from a captive silk balloon
that Is frequently sent up from the
mountain top to great heights. This
Balloon, hydrogen inflated. has q
lifting power of 60 pounds. and
heavy instruments can be sent up
with 1t.
Wind velocity at the kites alti-
tude is now calculated from the
kites pull" by those ON the
ground. But in few days a new
wind gauge is to be sent up with
the kites to write its record on the
cylinder. Ahead of the front cell
of the kite will protrude a small
windmill. like the paper rosette
pinwheels children buy at fairs. The
rapidly with which the gauge
whirls will measure the wind We

The free ballons sent UP to great
heighst from Mt. Weather have
discovered that in the high alti.
tudes the temperatures vary little

people of the state of Arkansas, again not providing for measures that might be enacted by cities or counties.
 These are palpable blunders, blun- ders that would hardly be excusable in a school boy, and it is on these that some of the papers of the state. and doubtless many politicians are fighting the amendment.
 But it is the expressed opinion of Governor Donaghey and other real friends of this law to bring the peo- pie in closer touch with their laws and rights. that the courts will so rule as to correct these clerical errors and give the law the powers intended.
 The initiative and referendum principle is certainly a correct one. And, under the circumstances it seems best that the amendment, faulty though it is in it's wording, should be adopted. :
