UNIDENTIFIED MINER
PERISHES ON DESERT

SN BERNARDINO, July 2S.-An un-
identified miner perished beneath the
Santa Fe bridge at Hector. a lonely
desert section, probably two weeks
ago. The body was found yesterday
by a negro and Mexican, who had
crawled under the bridge, which is
dirt covered. The finding of the corpse
stampeded the two vagrants, who hur
ried to a section house and gave the
warning.
Indications were that the miner had
attempted to tramp a distance of II
miles between water holes without TAX
ing along a supply of water, and be-
came exhausted in the heat. He had
been barely able to crawl beneath the
bridge. He had removed one shoe. and
evidently was about to remove the
other when death came. The coyotes
had gnawed off one foot.

FIGHT FILMS MAY BE

LONG BEACH, July 2S-The NOV

fight may yet be brought to Long
Beach. 1t was reported some time ago
that the moving picture men had
agreed not to get the pictures here and
the council refused, subsequently, to
pass an ordinance prohibiting them.
One local picture man has money
posted to bring the fight pictures here
and is determined to display them.
A city official said yesterday; II
am opposed to the pictures being ex-
hibited, but if they are will be in a

REGISTRATION is LARGE

SAN BERNARDINO, July 2S.-Over
1000 Republican voters were registered
in the county clerks office when reg
istration closed last night at the
stroke of midnight. This will prob
ably take the total registration of all
parties to 11,000. The percentage of
the Republican votes that will be
polled is much of a problem. In gem
eral elections the people of the county
have polled as high as 80 per cent of
the registered vote, but politicians are
not looking for anything of that kind
at the primaries. They agree that be-
tween so and so per cent will be cast.

EGGS IN COMPETITION.
High Prices Here Have Caused I'm
portation of Foreign Eggs.

A great deal has been said of late
about hen fruit, and the millions
of dollars that the hen adds annual
ly to the wealth of the United
States, and the "corneriug' or
storing of eggs by the packing
trusts, to squeeze the consumer.
To protect" the American farm
er" there is a duty of five cents a
dozen OH foreign eggs and the ship
ping charges are about four cents
a dozen. Notwithstanding these
disadvantages, owing TO the out
rageous prices the packing trust
have been enabled to put OIL hen
fruit, for the first time in five
years European eggs are now be-
ing imported into this country.
The foreign eggs are all shipped
by brokers' from Hull, England,
but were gathered originally from
Austria, France and Germany.
All the foreign eggs are coated on
the outside o. the shell with Sc
cret compound of paraffin to pre-
serve them. The coating is almost
transparent, but it is so noticeable
that foreign eggs may be readily
distinguished by its presence from
the domestic. The coating is not
removed, so that the public in buy
ing the eggs in the grocery stores
will know if it is getting foreign
or domestic product. The dealers
say that the London and other
European markets are flooded with
eggs and the extremely low prices
abroad enable the shippers to pay
the nine cents for duty and freight
and make a profit in New York,
even at the prices now prevailing.
Dealers who are handling the Eu
ropean eggs say that the foreign
preserving maintains fresher flaw
or than is obtained by the Ameri
can plan of keeping the eggs in ice.

A NEW VIEW OF 1T.

Judge Garman Of Luzerne Coun
ty is reported as having granted a
large number of pew liquor licen-
ses and when doing so as saying
that all new applications will be
granted unless remonstrances are
filed against them. He is further
quoted as saying that the response
bility for new licenses lies with the
people, who can control them if
they will.
This is new view on the sub
ject, and quite different from the
generally accepted one. Most peo-
pie seem to be laboring under the
impression that courts have some
responsibility in the matter, and
that it is their duty to protect the
public even when the latter may
appear to be indifferent. At least it
is presumed that Judges will re-
quire new applicants to show the
necessity o. their houses, though
no one i'll particular is kicking.
The public have some rights which
the courts are expected to protect
without being forced to do so.

present pension law grants annuities
only to the widows of soldiers of the

Committee on Pensions having de-
cided to take up the question. 1t is
considered PROBABLE that favorable
report will be made. The House
Committee also has agreed to con-
slider the subject.
If the bill should become law,
it would add from two millions to
four millions of dollars to the pen
sion roll. There is special p-ovis-
ion in the bill requiring that in
order to become beneficiary under
its terms any widow must have
lived with her soldier-husband for
at least three years.

The Tale a Day Nursery Tells.


From The New York American
A canvas of a day nurseries by a
representative of the Ame,lean re-
veals the fact that thousands of
wives have been compelled by the
recent appalling rise in food prices
TO turn over to public institutions
the care of their little children and
join their husbands in the wage
struggle for the means of life.
For example, fifteen mothers
mostly young women who had be-
fore marriage been stenographers
or saleswomen were fresh appli-
eants on single day this week at
the nursery at ST. Marks place.
Among the fifteen came one
young married woman not quite
eighteen years of age, bringing her
two-months.old baby. my hus-
band is kind and good to me-" she
slid, "bnt l also must work in
order to exist. His salary won t
support us now with food so high
The institution in St. Mark S
place is already overcrowded and
cannot accommodate new appli-
cants. 1t cares for three times as
many babies as it did few months
ago. The case is similar with all
other like institutions in the city.
Such facts should not be dismiss
ed as a casual item of journalistic
pathos. They are portentous.
They indicate a condition of affairs
that must be speedily remedied-
unless we are content to step down
the declivity of social decadence.
Our race has always taken it for
granted that fair standard of liv-
ing for man must include the liv.
ing OF his wife.ard infant children.

1t would seem fairly evident that
what we have to deal with is no
passing distemper or sociological
skin disease. The evil is organic
and vital.
What does all our civilization
amount to but an effort of organic
ed intelligence to ease the strain of
hunger and cold?
And what is prosperity but the
increasing of the purchasing po wer
of days work /?
The predominant political interest
OF 1910 is to increase the purchas-
ing power of days work.
And on this issue political for
tunes at Washington, at ALBANY

Coal Production in Pennsylvania.

From the reports received, the
increase in production of coal in
the United States in 1909 over 1908
was between eight and ten per
cent, which would indicate total
production of from 44o, 900, 900 to
$50, 900 900 short tons, but does
not reach the high water produc-
ton Of 1907. Exclusive of the out
put from Sullivan county, the ship
ments of anthracite from the mines
i'll Pennsylvania during the eleven
months ending November 80, 1909,
amounted to Sc, 1874 .447 long tons,
against 5S,S37,o76 long tons for
the same period in 1908. 1t is es-
timated that the shipments in De-
cember will amount to 5.5So,oo
long tons. To the shipments should
be added the usual percentage for
local trade and colliery consump-
ton and the production of Sullivan
county, which would bring the to-
tai production of Pennsylvania an
thracite in 1909 to approximately
7I,I5o, 900 long tons, or about 7o,-
700, 900 short tons, and the bitumi-
nous production will have amount
ed to between 500. 900. 600 and
37o 900, 900 short tons.
The larger production from the
anthracite mines in Pennsylvania
in 1908 was caused by stimulat-
ed activity due to all apprehension
of suspension on April /, 1909,
when the wage agreement would
terminate. This activity continued
through the first three months of
1909, were the largest in the his
tory of the trade. With the re-
newa! of the wage scale i'll April,
which was in fact a continuance OF
the awards OF the anthracite strike
commission for the period of three
years, production fell off, and the
shipments OF the Summer months
of 1909 were much less than in
either 1907 or 1908.

Government to Lodge Farm Seekers

Unwilling that record breaking
endurance test should be held with
the approval OF the Government,
Secretary Ballinger has adopted a
novel plan for the allotment of the
4o-acre farms at Yuma, CAL, dur
ing the first of March.
The necessity for the plan arose
fr. I'M the anxiety of claimants to be
the first on the spot when the allot-
ments were made. The Secretary
was informed Monday by telegraph
that more than 200 men and wom-
men had already formed in line be-
fore the Land Office in Los Angeles
so as to be the first on hand on
March I, when the allotments were
scheduled to be made.
In accordance with the new ar
rangement, the Secretary has ord
cred that hall or base ball park
large enough to accommodate ali
who desire to participate in the
allotment, be engaged in Los
Angeles for March 1. To those
assembled in this hall or park by c
a. IN. on that day, cards will BIZ
distributed by the agents of the
Government. On these the names,
age, height and post Office address
of each homeseeker must be
written.
At any time between March
and March 10 the applicant may
appear at the Land Office in Los
Angeles, and upon being identified
by the card may make application
for any of the I72 farms that the
Government is to give away. An
opportunity will be given to those
who file on the same farm to de.
eide among themselves which shall
have the land. If this is not done
the Government officials will de.
eide the lucky person by lot.

Want Roosevelt to Help Out.

With Roosevelt in the field for
Congress on the platform that if
elected he will be candidate for
Speaker, some of tue astute Repub-
licans think they have solved the
problem OF how to hold the next
House of Representatives for their
party. They argue that if Roose-
welt is to be Speaker the people Of
the Middle West, who threaten to
turu the country over TO the Demo
Gratis, will relent and join in the
rush to get their candidates into
Congress. Such is the scheme at
the present time. While Colonel
Roosevelt has announced that he
would net go to Cons ress, yet he
might be persuaded for the sake Of
the party and for Taft to prevent
the administration from receiving
a rebuff that would probably be
used against it during the next
three years
MIR. Cocks, who represents the
First New York District in Con-
gress, is we'll known in Pennsyl-
vania and is manager of Swarth-
more College. Mr.. Cocks SAYS that
while some plans were made for
Colonel Roosevelt upon his return,
they did not contemplate his going
to Congress, at least to the lower
branch of that body. There is a
hint that the Colonel would seek
the place now held by Mr.. Depew
as Senator from New York. Not
knowing just what the present con
test may lead to. Mr.. Cocks is
going ahead with his fight for re.
nomination and has enlisted the
services of Representative J. Hamp-
ton Moore. of Philadelphia. If
necessity should arise Mr.. Cocks
will go hack to his farm and permit
Colonel Roosevelt to be nominated
in his place. This matter cannot be
settled until June, when Colonel
Roosevelt will arrive in this coun-
try.
