One of the magazines has published some statistics of the wooden indus try. as an argument against the pres ent tariff OR wool It appears that the wooden mills of Massachusetts paid an average dividend of more than 37 per cent in 1907. more than 25 per cent in 1908. and it Is estimated that the profits were about 30 per cent in 1909. However these figures may be regarded as an argument against the wool tariff. they furnish food for thought" on a question which should be a live one in Arizona-the estab- Iishment of wooden mills at Phoenix. From this territory. and from oregon and California. through this territory. vast quantities of wool are shipped to the New England mills It returns to us in ready made garments. in blan- kets and other wooden fabrics. and in cloth for the tailors-the people pay ing freight on the raw material to the eastern seaboard and on the manu- fsctured product from the mills to the place where the wool originated.

A Practical Step Against Two Evils


 The city of Chicago has put in force such stringent rules and regulations against the sale Of intoXicants in re- sorts of ill rcputc and all places where women have been in the habit of con- sregating. that the authorities of that city estimate that I5.o00 men and wo- men Of the underworld will leave the town.
 It is remarkable that Chicago. and all other cities. big and little, have been so slow in this reform. Not only q vast amount of crime. but mis- demcanors innumerablc have their origin in the evil resorts where liquors are sold IL is not often that crime has it's origin in well regulated saloon.

FLOODS IN LONE STAR STATE
Snow Adds to the Effects of Unprece-
denied Rains.

San Antonio, Tex.-Almost incessant
rains for three days have put streams
in this section of Texas on such ram
page as has not been recorded in TWEEN
ty years.
In Uvalde county, west of here, beside
the 200 goats caught and drowned by the
overflow of the Neuces river, 1000 goats,
which had been sheared earlier in the
month, persisted from the cold and rain.
Bee men in Bexar county also lost
thousands of dollars, the flood having
reached their apiaries. At Fort Davis
and Maria, still further west, two
inches of snow has fallen and fruit and
young vegetables are killed.
The loss will total high into the thou
sands, but is small compared with the
benefits which will accrue to the farm.

TRIAL OF JAP SPIES
ARMY MEN SAY THERE ARE MANY
CHANCES OF CONVICTION.
Nothing Will Be Done by Japan Until
Matter Has Been Decided by the
Courts.

Washington.-The secretary of the
navy, Friday, ordered that the two citi-
zeps of Japan who were held by Maj
Gen. Duval, commanding in the Philip
pines, on charges of obtaining informa-
tion about the defenses of Manila should
be turned over to the civil authorities,
there being no federal statute covering
the case.
1t is not admitted at the war depart
ment or at the state department that
Japan has in any way let its interest in
the case be known to this government.
Baron Uchida, the japanese minister,
however, said in answer to specific ques-
tions:
81 shouldn't think that my govern
ment would interest itself in this mat
ter while it is the hands of the United
States authorities. / do not know that
any action is contemplated, but certain
ly nothing will be done until after the
cases are disposed of by the authorities,
that is if any action were necessary"
No information regarding the purpose
of the ambassadors call at the state de-
partment was vouchsafed by him. 1t
was expected that he would avoid a dis
cussion of the case on its merits, even
had he conferred ON the subject.
Officials in another department, how
ever, state that there was not the
slightest chance that Japan would inter-
fere in government conduct of the case.
This statement was made after the call
of the ambassador. The reason for the
prediction was the official belief that the
Japanese foreign office could not afford
to assume the attitude of publicity and
officially defending its citizens on pecu-
liar charges which were made against
them.

JAP CASE GROWS CRAVE
JAPANESE STATE DEPARTMENT
BEHIND MOVE FOR MEN.
U. S. State Department Nome ommittal
on Order Sent to Attorney General
of Philippine Islands.

Washington.-The question of the
Japanese spies held at Manila by this
government has become an important if
not serious affair.
Instructions were cabled Thursday to
the attorney general and the secretary
of justice of the Philippines by the war
department, detailing the proper pro
ceedngs.
These instructions, it is stated, are
concurred in by the state department, al
though the state department declares it
has nothing to do with the case.
The silence of the state department in
the matter is justifiable, because it is
excellent authority that the Japanese
foreign Office is behind the application
of the two spies for release on habeas
corpus.
1t is admitted that if this case should,
by any unforeseen circumstances, become
one of negotiations between the state de-
partment and the Japanese foreign office,
the issue would be very doubtful.
If the state department should yield
to the japanese contention, it would be
because the state department chose to
ignore a specific Philippine law which
covers and can heavily punish the offense
of the spies.
The aggravation of the offense of the
two japanese prisoners lies in the fact
that they were endeavoring to get in
formation which is concealed from the
press at Washington.
The case of the prisoners is regarded
as one of extreme delicacy. 1t includes
elements, any one of which, should it 60
wrong, would involve the United States
in direct question of national honor
with Japan.

HOBS0N MANN CLASH
BILL FOR PEACE APPROPRIATION
CAUSES TROUBLE.
Albanian Interprets Remark of Mann
to Mean He Was Trying to Bride
the Members.

Washington.-"The gentleman is very
free with his tongue, but there is a dead

Alabama, gesticulating on the floor of
the house today.

in Mr.. Hobson's bill to appropriate for

These words by the Illinois member
were interpreted by the Albanian as
meaning that his bill offered bride to
members.

did not impugn the motives of the gen.
tleman from Alabama" asserted Mr..
Mann.
Il accept his apology" interposed Mr.
Hobson, amid laughter.

AFTER WINDOW GLASS TRUST
Federal Officers Conclude Three Months
Investigation.

Pittsburg, Pa.-After a three months
investigation, federal officers are ready
to present to special grand jury here
evidence proposing to show that the I'm
perial Window Glass company is a trust
in violation of the Sherman act.
The corporation, formed under the
laws of West Virginia. is said to control
thirty-three large manufactures of win
dow glass in eleven different states.
The company named has factories and
offices in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. United States District Attor-
ney John II. Jordan has conducted the
investigation and his contention before
the grand jury will be that the Impe-
rial Window Glass company has violated
the antitrust laws by maintaining a
monopoly of the window glass business
in restraint of trade. A corps of inves-
tigators from the department of justice
at Washington has been assisting Mr..
Jordan, and it is said mass of evidence
has been prepared.

PROHIBlT0NISTS PLANNING
Ministers Criticized for Lack of Activity
in the Cause

Atlanta, Ga.-Criticism of ministers
for inactivity in the prohibition fight in
Southern states, particularly in Florida,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee and
North Carolina, was voiced at the ses
sion of the Southern Anti Saloon League
convention. Reports were received show
ing that Florida is now the center of
the bitterest of all state prohibition
fights.
In Louisiana the state measure in
force is ineffective, according to the re-
port of the Rev. E. M. Barber. Mr.. Bar
Der said the Louisiana state legislature
is overwhelmingly against prohibition.
The report from Tennessee was that
statewide prohibition has the opposition
of the entire state administration. 1t was
said, however, that prohibition really
was prohibiting throughout the state,
except in Memphis, Nashville and Chat
nooga. In Memphis, it was reported it
was practically disregarded.

there. From every walk in life, society
in their dainty spring attire, public men,
preachers, leaders in business and in

on the floor of the capitol throughout the
afternoon. The senate's locked and dou-
ble-barred and sternly-guarded doors were
watched with eager eyes by those spec
tators, and every man who had entrance
there was studied, commented on and
wondered about, to the regular habitues.

NEW COTTON BILL PROBABLE
Proposed Legislation Will Not Effect

Westinghouse is probable there will
be a new cotton anticipation bill, like
wise to be known as the Scott bill, to
cover amendments to the original meas
ure introduced by Chairman Scott, of the

cial markets.
1t is practically settled, so far as the
subcommittee on agriculture is con-
cerned, that the grain exchanges will
not be affected by the proposed legisla-
ton, the subcommittee taking the posi-
ton that there is no sentiment in the
West for such elimination of grain fu-
lures as in the case of the cotton ex-
change.
