Sen. DOLLIVER DEAD.
I0WA'S SENATOR Died In The
DOCTORS ARMS.
Was at His Home in Fort Dodge When
the End Came-Acute Attack of
Stomach Trouble Affected His Heart
Had Been Member of Congress for
Many Years.

Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver died at
his home in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Satur-
day night, while an attending physician,
DIR. E. M. Van Patten, was examining
his heart with stethoscope.
His death followed an acute attack
of stomach trouble which affected his
heart. His physicians announced that
death was directly due to dilation of
the heart.
Senator Dolliver had so far recov-
cred his strength as to be able to
walk about his lawn. He had been
up all day and he entered his sitting
room for the daily conversation with
his physician.
The doctor began the examination of
the heart while the senator was seated
in a large Morris chair.
While making the examination the
physician kept up conversation with
the senator and asked him how he was
feeling.

Our Philippine Trade.

Trade between the United States and
the Philippine Islands increased 81 per
cent during the first year operation
OF the new tariff law, which provides
for free interchange Of merchandise be-
tween those islands and the United
Staets.
Imports from the islands doubled dur
ing the period in question, and exports
thereto increased about 20 per cent.
The new tariff act went into effect
August 6, 1909, and the figures of the
bureau of statistics of the department
OF commerce and labor, stating the
trade with the islands from August /,
1905, to July 81, 1910, show: Total i'm
ports from the islands during the year
ended July 81, 1909, $9,167 1925, and
during the year ended July 81, 1910
$ls,917,3 1872; total exports to the isl
ands, year ended July 81, 1909, $40,
250,s69, and in the year ended July 81
1910, $17, ,675.
The articles which show the principal
increases in imports are sugar, manila
hemp, cigars and cigarettes, copra, fiber,
other than manila, hats and bonnets
Sugar increased from little over 81
100000 in 1909, to $500O,000 in 1910
cigars and cigarettes, from 81 ,374 ,0Ol
in 1909 to over $1,750,00O in 1910; ma
Mia hemps, from 1898, 900 in 1909 t,
! $11 100000 in 1910; while copra, fbers
hats and bonnets show smaller in
creases.
On the export side, increases occur i
a much larger number of articles. Irol
and steel manufactures increased fror
1888 900 in 1909 to $3,500,000 in 1910
cotton cloths, from less than $5O0,O0
to $2,333,000; flour, from 1925 900 I
$1,OOO,O00; boots and shoes, from $3.50
600 to 1851 900; explosives, from $917
900 to over $1,000,000; meat and dair
products, from $477, 900 to 1862, 0OO
while numerous other articles show a
increase.
The trade of the United States wit
the Philippine Islands exceeded in 191
that of any earlier year. Exports froi
the islands in the fiscal year 191
amounted to $17,317, 1897, against $12
$3.50 in 1905, the former high re,
ord year, and $5,971,20 in 1900. E,
ports to the islands in 1910 were SIG
1928, 645, against 81, 461 1872 in 1908, I'll
former high record year, and So, 640,44
in 1900 Prior to 1900 exports to til
islands had never reached 100000 p,
annum, while imports therefrom ave
aged from five to six million, exceedin
however, in exceptional years, 10 mil

Picked Up at Sea.

O'Clock Tuesday morning. The airship
had been abandoned The rescue was
made in latitude 35.43. longitude

The position reported by Captain

$50 miles due east of Cape Hatteras on
the North Carolina coast.

WHAT JAPANESE
WIFE HAS TO SAY
She Is the Wife of the Mayor of Toxic
and Now Visiting in New
York Citv

"The japanese wife thinks first of
her duty toward her family; the Amer
lean wife of her duty toward herself. !"
This is Nine. Yenkio Ozaki s version
of "the east is east, and the west is
west. Nine. Ozaki is the wife of the
mayor of Toxic and is now in New York
city with her husband.
''First of all, the Japanese woman is
nearly always wife," she continued.
'Before she is married she is not a
woman, but a girl. The unmarried
woman is decidedly the exception.
understand the case is different in
America. With us all the young girls
are looked after by their mothers and
fathers. They are all carefully pro
vided with husbands. -
"We don t think they ought to marry
unless they are in love-" was suggested.
Nine. Ozaki frowned a bit. "'This
love-it is a very transient thing she
said, rather impatiently. cit is not a
sensible reason for marrying 1t is
much better for the wise parents to
pick out good men for their daughters.
| If you adopt that method here you
would not have so many divorces.
"Then again the Japanese wife diff
| fers from the American. We have a
much smaller number of divorces. That
is because the wife is not all the time
thinking of herself and what is due tc
her. She thinks of the happiness OF
her family, and she tries to make il
happy, instead of imagining wrongs Of
nursing them, at least. If the womeI
of the west would sacrifice themselves
more, if they would strive toward thu
ideal of family happiness, instead of in
dividual happiness, then your divorce
would be reduced.
81 don't believe that divorce shoul'
be impossible, however. Now, on
wrong in our system is the fact tina
! laws are not equal for men and women
Either can get a divorce for cruelty o
, unfaithfulness or desertion. But tn

MEYER PROMISES
FLEET TO PACIFIC
If Washington Will Back Him Up He
Will Improve Shipyards, Says
Secretary.

Secretary of the Navy George Won
l.. Meyer, who was the guest of the
business men of San Francisco at a
banquet recently, advocated the abolish
ment of half of the navy yards on the
Atlantic coast during the course of his
after-dinner speech.
He congratulated the Pacific coast
upon being fortunate enough to have
but two government shipyards, argu
ing that these may be brought to q
greater degree of efficiency and made
adequate to accommodate any sort OF
fleet. He said that an effort would
be made to expend 81 100000 in deepen
ing the channel to Mare island in order
that battleships and cruisers NIGH
