OF the Long Mouth (Sacramento). The
Shining Squaw beckoned with her hand
and whittier she pointed the boat glid-
ed; up past the low lands to the scrub
oak and manxanita hills. Ever as 1t
moved many Indians followed along,
watching the singing maiden at the
PROV. Strangest of all was the fact
that when the men looked upon her
they forgot to fight but not so with
the sQuaws. They grew suddenly
brave and panther hearted and seized
the bows and arrows from the braves
and fell upon the White Ones. SO fierce
did the women become that the maid
ems were forced to leave the boat and
flee for safety into the hills.
When Ta-hoo-hee heard this he grew
impatient and called to his men.
Come" he said; ''let us go. 1t is
better to die at the hands of the
Shining Squaw than to be burned by
hunger flames.'
He caught up his bow. and culver
and rushed from the sweathouse, fol-
lowed by many of his braves.
When the valley Indians saw tho hill
tribes coming with bended bows they
Joined with the women and fought. but
Ta-hoo-hee and his braves put them
to flight.

His mother dressed her wounds and
brewed some healing herbs which
brought sleep to the weary eyes When
morning came the Shining One awoks
and asked for food. Seeing that there
wes none in the lodge she pointed to
the hills beyond the danger line, where
herds OF game were feeding In the open
canyons.
Ta-hoo-hee told her that none dared
go into the land of Smoking Devils,
but the White Squaw laughed. The
laugh cat away Ta-hoo-hee's fear He
seized his bow and CULVER and started,
followed by a few OF his braves and
by the maidens of the Shining Squaw.

before the camp fires Of the white hunter
blazed on Mount Tallac, while the
forest people were yet great In
! strength and numbers. There was no
water where now Lake Tahoe flashes
in it's setting of rock ribbed hills, but
only a deep basin that reached far
down, perhaps to the bottom of the
world In those innermost depths
dwelt race OF devils
OF course, none dared go into the
demon infested region, so the red folk
always stayed beyond the mountains
encircling the chasm. which marked
the danger line. Often they made
sacrifices to the Great Spirit that the
imps be not angered with them, for
they were greedy devils and grudged
the Ted man his portion OF game.
When the snow time came, the sea-
son of the long white sleep, during
which the bear and squirrel retreat to
their holes, the devils tried to burn the
snow away. for they well knew that IL
the winter peaks stood bare against
the sky the Indians would be hungry
Snow feeds the streams, the watering
channels OF the four-footed ones, and
no snow no game.
The Great Spirit listened to the cry
OF his children. and for a very long
period the devils did not succeed.
But at last there came a time when
they had their way. The snow
fell. not In thick, feathery showers
but scantily, like rain in the Paiute
lands and fast as the star flowers
touched the earth the demon fires
burned them away.

Berlin Exhibition Directors Change
Date in Order to Accommodate
American Concerns.

BERLIN, March 1.-The German III
rectors of the American exposition to-
day decided to accept the suggestion of
the American commissioners that the
date of the exposition be postponed
from the coming summer to the sum-
mer OF 1911, and that the character of
the enterprise be changed from a
strictly American show to an American
German joint affair.
This decision was reached following the
receipt Of a cablegram from New York, in
which the American commissioners ex-
planned that their decision in the matter
had been adopted after mature delibera-
ton and was Influenced by the fact that
the leading exhibitors. including the Stand
ard Oil Company. the railroad compa-
niles. certain municipalities and ma
chinery manufacturers. had withdrawn
their support for the present.
Send Message to Committee.
Today the German executive commit
tee sent the following message to the
executive committee Of the American
commissioners at New York:
After your explanation we express
to the American committee our full
confidence and express thanks and our
preparedness to work together on lines
which will be determined during the
coming visit OF the American commit.

COST OF POLICING DISTRICT
Why It Is More Than in Cities Of
Similar Size Is Asked.
REASON TO BE INQUIRED INTO
Mai. Judson and Mr.. Johnston Con-
fess Ignorance and Are Told to
Learn About It.

The business before the House District
committee this morning was q hearing on
House bill 1874. to provide for the pay
ment Of the debt Of the District Of Co
lumbia and to provide for permanent I'M
provements and for other purposes. This
measure embodies what has come to be
known as the "yudson plan" for financing
the District.
Extending the time for the repayment
to the federal government OF District
loans, the bill would remove the necessity
in the future for the District to ask for
additional loans. At the same time the
District would be able to take care Of cur
rent needs and lay aside something each
year for permanent Improvement projects
Commissioners Before Committee.
Commissioners Rudolph. Johnston and
Judson appeared before the committee to
urge a favorable report on the measure
in question.
ut provides a simple and business-like
way to solve the financial problem Of the
District" said Commissioner Rudolph. 1T
will take care Of current needs, provide
for payments on the bonded debt and
will greatly relieve Congress OF work, II
adopted. We will set aside each year
the necessary SuIIl6 u IdAS CdAS VI OLA
repayments and other items.
Commissioner Johnston explained that
Engineer Commissioner Judson was
armed with facts and figures concerning
the changes which are proposed by the
bill to the financial system OF the Dis
trict, and would go into them In detail
for the benefit Of the COMMITTEES.
Cost Of Policing District.
The chief feature Of interest in con-
nection with Mr.. Judson's presentation
OF his figures had to do with the cost OF
the Washington police force. The MEM
bers Of the committee seemed profound
ly astonished when he said, in the course
Of his statement, that the annual cost OF
maintaining the police force OF the Dis
trict is three times as great as that OF
maintaining the police force Of Milwau-
kee although that city has larger pop
ulation than the District.
In reply to questions. Commissioners
Judson and Johnston confessed that they
didn't know why this was. Whereupon
the committee asked them to investigate
and let the committee know their con-
illusions aA soon as possible.
Mr. Judson had not completed his state
ment when the committee went into ex-
ecutive session to consider several local
bills.

PRODUCES SHARP CLASH
SENATOR HEYBURN'S SPEECH
ON POSTAL SAVINGS BILL.

The postal savings bank bill may be
referred to the post Office committee when
the time comes tomorrow for a vote on
that measure by the Senate. Senator
Hepburn OF Idaho SO intimated in a
speech in the Senate today on his sub
stitute for the pending bill Whether he
would offer the substitute. he said, would
depend upon the turn the matter might
take tomorrow.
II have heard many expressions Of dis
satisfaction with the legislation as il
stands" he said A number Of senators
have indicated desire that the bill be
recommitted, In order that 1t may have
further consideration before we commit
ourselves irrevocably to the policy OF q
postal savings system
He added that the republican party
was under no pledge to pass savings
law at the very beginning OF the Taft
administration. There still would be
time for consideration II the bill should
go back to the committee.
Senator Carter Replies.
Mr.. Heyburn's speech was followed by
a sharp clash between himself and Sen
ator Carter, in charge of the pending
bill. He had begun by suggesting a
change of the title to the bill. and Mr..
Carter charged him with trying to change
the constitutional character of the bill
by altering the title.
Mr.. Hepburn replied somewhat vehe-
mently that he had made no such effort.
and Mr. Carter undertook to show that
he had done so. While the Montana
senator was speaking Mr.. Hepburn sought
to interrupt. Mr.. Carter declined &c
yield. Il should think he would after
such a speech as he has made. declared
the Idaho senator. and started out of the
chamber. And l." retorted the Montana
senator would think that the senator
would leave the room after such a speech
as he had made" Mr.. Hepburn stopped
for a moment to hear the last words ct
his opponent as he entered a convenient
cloakrOom.
Mr.. Carter declared the Hepburn SUBJ
stitute ridiculous. and said that Mr..
Hepburn had offered 1t in order to pre-
sent something different rather than
that IL adopted the Hepburn plan would
break the Post Ome Department.
Supported by Senator Brad.
Mr.. Bradley spoke in support of the
pending bill, defending it against the
many objections made to 1t. He said
that the Hepburn bill was too radi al.
Mr.. Heyburn's measure provides for
a postal savings bank at the capital
city OF each state. and the bill proceeds
upon the theory that government
savings system is constitutfonally per-
missible only under the borrowing
sure. he said, that law could be SO
framed as to bring 1t entirely under
this clause, and in such form he would
support such q measure
