\ PRISON REFO IN TO BE
 TRIED IN MISSOURI
Worthy Young Men Who VIII Wori to be Paroled from PenltentIary and State Reform School
 by Governor.

Jefferson City. July 15.-Within ( short time Governor Hadley will try the experiment of taking some yound men from the penitentiary and stato Reform School for Boys and finding them employment on Missouri farms. They will be released under parole.
 This idea was suggested to the gov ernor by D. H. Doane of the state agi- cultural college at Columbia MT. Doane is in very close touch with the farmers of the state and has been very much interested In the efforts to reform young offenders that Gov Had ley has been making. He has inter ested number of farmers in the hu- mane side of the prison question. Sev- eral days ago, in a letter to Gov Had ley, MT. Doane stated in effect that he knew O. a number of farmers in this state who would wilnngly pay fair wages to the more hopeful class of young convicts if the latter were re. leased under parole.
 Following up the idea closely, and in search of more information, Gov. Had ley called up Warden Andrae and Deputy Warden Gllvin of the peni- tentiary, and also upon Major Me. Claughry of the reform school for boys. for detail information as to the number of young men in these insti- tGtions who give promise of the future if released under parole and given a good situation. under fair wages, on a Missouri farm. Without going into specific details. Warden Andrae re- piled that he was well satisfied that the penitentiary could spare 60 such young men. and said that he and the deputy warden were at work preparing list for the governor Major Me Claughry has not yet replied, but it is known that the reform school can furnish quite as many as the peniten. lary.

Killed by Curiosity.

There Is an African insect, the larvae of which prey upon ants. The larvae puts it's head into small hole In the ground and quivers it's tail quickly The ants come near to ex anime the novel object, and, goaded by curiosity. go too closely, when sud. denly they are seized by the forceps or graspers with which the tail Is fur nished. and thus are killed. Not only 10 insects and the lower animals un. derstand that the curiosity of their victims may be employed as a snare for them. but human being understand and act upon the same principle. Many young men and young women have been ruined by adopting the ap parently harmless course of going to see what it was like"

COL. ROOSEVELT AGAINST
 MODERN PRIZE FIGHTS
The Ex-presldent Hopes the Battle at Reno Win be Lasf to be Permitted ln This
 Country

New York. July 15.--Another de velopment in the light to oppose the showing Of the pictures, came in ad vance sheets from the Outlook f0 July i0. which contains a signed state ment by ex-president Roosevelt, speak ing against the production Of ths pictures
 The Outlook article by ex-president Roosevelt concludes by saying:
 T am sure that what has happened in New York will happen in the na. ton at large. and that prize fighting will be, as it ought 10 be stopped in every state in the union. Since 1t was stopped in the New York the condi- tions surrounding the ring have grown worse and not better The money prizes fought for are enormous and are a potent source of demorali2ation in themselves while they are often so arranged as to either be a premium on crockedness or else to reward nearly ns amply the man who fails as the man who succeeds. The betting and gambling upon the game is thoroughly unhealthy and the moving picture part of the proceedings has introduced a new method of money getting and dc. moralization. In addition the last contest provoked a unfavorable dis play of race antagonism. l sincerely trust that public sentiment will be 10 aroused and will make itself felt TO effectively as to guarantee this the last prize fight to take place in the United States and 1t would be an ad. mirable thing if some method could be devised to stop the exhibition of the moving pictures taken thereof"

RUSSO-JAP TREATY.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS REGARDING MAN
 cHuRIA MADE PUBLIC.
A HISTORY MAKING DOCUMENT
The Sovereignty of China Over It's Rich Province and the Right of Other Nations to Deal Directly With Her Ia Ignored.

Washington, July 14-The text of the Russo-Japanese treaty was given out at the state department.
 IL Is the history making document of the century in the far East and stripped of all verbiage maintains:
 First-That Russia and Japan have established a protectorate over Man churia.
 Second--That the dealings present and future of the United States with China must be referred to Russia and Japan
 Third-The sovereignty of China over It's own rich province of Man churia, which of all of her provinces is the only one left for exploittion by the United States. is ignored by Rus sia and Japan
 Fourth-Tbe convention of 1907 be- tween Russia and Japan Is cited as proof of the adherence of Japan and Russia to the "open door" policy, that there is no intimation anywhere, in old treaties or new treaties that any demand or request of the United States as 10 Manchuria Is to be com piled with by either Japan or Russia.
 Fifth--The new treaty states baldly and brutally that the status quo in this existing state of affairs in Man. churia is to be maintained by Japan and Russia and there is in the text itself scarcely yelled assertion that other nations will be prevented by force from interfering with the ex- pIoitation of Manchuria for the special benefit of Russia and Japan. the 0pin- ion to the contrary notwithstanding. England is not threatened. She is a party to the scheme
 Depend Upon Treaty Of 1907.
 This government for the present Is obliged to take the position that it's : hts In Manchuria will be conserved l Y the treaty of 1907, which 1t gives c as an Illuminating part of the [, Russo Japanese convention It Is further claimed that the treaty of io,,ay was not aimed at the Taft-Knox in Manchuria Proof of that Is taken from the alleged fact that Secretary Knox proposal to erect into a buffer state was made subsequent to Russia and Janan'e agreement as to the new treaty
 Another fact. however. is that the viceroy of Manchuria agreed with English and American capitalists for he building of the Chin Chow Aigun That agreement ante-dates Russia and Japan's preparatory agree nent in November as to the new treaty. The Chin Chow Aigun propo- sition is set back by the new propo- sition.
 The state department has made splendid fight for the open door and 3 few special privileges in Manchuria. What the answer to the bludgeon of Russia and Japan by the United States will be. can only be had at Beverly.

 SION WILL INVESTIGATE ALL ] NEW FREIGHT TARiFFa
BURDEN OF PROOF ON ROADS
Railway off7elals Hereafter Musi Show Reasonabieness of Propcsed Advances--AlI New Rates VIII bo Held Up tpo Days.

Washington, July 15.--The inter state commerce commission has an nounccd It's intention 10 suspend all new railroad freight tariffs. naming general and important rate advances pending investigation into the reason sbleness of the proposed advances.
 Specific Orders Later.
 The official statement by the com mission says that no more definite statement in this regard can now be made. but the specific orders will be announced from time to time as they are entered and served.
 It is expected that the suspension fin each case will be for l20 days from the effective date named in the tariff but the commission intends by subse- Quent orders to provide for making effective on the same day such ad- vances as may be allowed
 It is the purpose of the commission to exercise its authority to suspend rate advances only In such instances of the filing of tariffs as might indi cate that such action was desirable on the grounds of public policy.
 In other words. if the commission should be convinced that any given advance would work hardship to a considerable territory and to large shipping interests, through the policy 1t has adopted. it would suspend that tariff pending an inquiry into tho req condolences of the rates named.
 Carrlers Must Prove Case.
 Under the law 1t will be necessary for the commission to attach to each tariff suspended it's order of suspen- sion and to notify tho interstate car rfers of It's action. At an early date as possible the commission will take up in 0 formal hearing the suspended tariffs.
 It will. be incumbent on the rail roads to show reasonable cause for the advances they may make in these tariffs from time to time. the burden of proof of the reasonableness Of the tariffs bearing on the carriera

Leichlngen, Rheinish Prussia, July I4-The dirigible balloon Erbsloeh, re- cently refltted for passenger service was destroyed in midair through the explosion of a benzIne tank It's ln- ventor, Oscar Erbsloeh, and his crew of four men dropped to their death
 The bodies of the aviators were frightfully mangled The gondola was torn to bits The motor buried itself in the ground
 The victims were men widely known to all Germans interested in aerial feats and Erbsloeh gained an interna- tional reputation at St. Louis in l9Vf when he won the international cup In the distance race for balloons
 His companions were Herr Toelle, manufacturer of Barmen, two en- gineers, Herr Krenz and Herr Hoeppe, and the motorman. Herr Spieke.
 Balloon Had Many Accidents.
 The Erbsloeh was constructed last year and had had a career of aeci- dents The first time 1t descended 1t crashed into a clump of trees, It's oc- cupants narrowly escaped injury. A few days ago, in a trial flight pro peller was broken. The balloon, which was of the non-rigid type. had just been made over preparatory to the establishment of a passenger ser vice between Elberfield and nearby points. IL was Inflated today for a final test The ascent was made near Opteden In fog
 An Eye Witness Story.
 There were few witnesses Of the ac~ cident According to these, the start was well made The Erbsloeh rose gradually. pushing its way through the fog to height estimated at several hundred yards. At this altitude a series of evolutions was begun,
 To the onlookers the airship ap- peared to obey it's helm perfectly. Then there was loud report The forepart of the vessel crumbled. and the gondola was twisted about until 1t appeared to be standing on one end As the gas escaped from the forward compartment the prov swayed down ward. For moment the alrship flut- tered like wounded bird and then fell swiftly 10 the earth
 Erbsloeh and his companions were killed the second they struck the ground
 An examination of the wreckage showed that the benzine tank had burst. tearing to shreds the rubber en. velope. directly above it The destruc- ton of this envelope caused the bow to collapse The stern compartment was still filled with gas when it struck the ground
 Gloom In Germany.
 The death of Erbsloeh and his com panions. with the destruction of the balloon for which much had been hoped, following closely on the loss of Count Zeppelin's Deutschland, has caused gloom In aviation circles.
 The public had scarcely recovered from the shock caused by the accl- dental death of Charles Stewart Rolls, the English aviator. when they learned that Erbsloeh had been added to the long list of Germans who had lost their lives while ballooning.
