There can be no harm in saying
that during his recent visit to this
country MIR. Roosevelt expressed to
a few intimate friends his contempt
for a non-despotic systems of gov

Washington. Sept, 21.-Henry c.
Emery, chairman Of the tariff board,
will go to many New England woole.n
mills next month to begin work on
the investigation of the now famous
schedule tx" of the Payne-Aldrich
law. He returned to Washington to-
day to meet Alvin H. Sanders Of Chi
cago, another member of the board,
in conference. James B. Reynolds,
the third member, now in Scotland,
probably will not return until next
month.
Prof. Emery has been giving much
study to the wood pulp and print pa

it will be the subject of one Of the
first reports the board will make to
the president. Work on the chemical
schedule also is progressing.

ONCE AGAIN THE
BOYS IN BLUE"
PASS IN REVIEW
The Same Old Spirit Shown As
in the Years Past-Ideal
Weather
REVIEWED BY COMMANDER
AND DISTINGUISHED AIDS
Vice President Sherman Stood on
One Side Of Commander.in.Ch Chief
Van SAINT and Lieut.. Gen. Miles ON
the Other.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 21.-
Once again the boys in blue" have
passed in review before their COM
mander-in-chief. With the same old
spirit they marched the board ave-
nues of this city by the sea today and
were acclaimed by the great crowds
who came to see the big feature of
the Forty-fourth annual encampment
of the Grand Army Of the Republic.
Ideal weather favored the old SOL
diers.
Forty-four states were represented
in the procession and while the pa
rade was not as large as those Of 9TH
er years there was no end of enthusi-
asm as the veterans marched. The
spectacle was stirring one. Every
building along the line of march was
draped in the national colors and the
sidewalks were packed with people
whose interest did not cease until the
last of the line had passed.
Near the end of the route the pa
rade was reviewed by Commander
in-Chief Samuel R. Van SAINT. On one
side of him on the reviewing stand
stood Vice President James s. Sher-
man and on the other was Lieut.. Nell
son A. Miles, U. S. A., retired.
Gov. Fort welcomed the veterans on
behalf of the state of New Jersey,
and Mayor Stoy gave them the free
dom of the city. Chief
Samuel r. Van SAINT of Minnesota
made the principal response and was
followed by the president Of the 9th
er national organizations meeting
with the G. A. r. here.
The campaign for the next COM
mander-in-chief. Each Of the two
candidates in the field, Commander
John E. Gilman of Boston and John
McElroy of Washington, d. c., have
many friends who are electioneerIng
for their favorite.
In the matter of the next place Of
meeting the question Of railroad rates
may largely enter into the contest.
There is almost unanimous protest
against the railroads in general for
their alleged failure to give the vet
erans a satisfactory rate from distant
points. 1t was said today at national
headquarters that If Rochester, N. Y,
can guarantee better rates than given
to Atlantic City the New York state
town may capture the next encamp-
ment.

In name these natives are christians,
but in secret they remain devotees to
their snake god and hold private
meetings at which he is worshiped.
The priests Of the cult are all-power-

concerned in the present affair, was
at the time high priestess of the cult.
At the great ceremony In honor Of
the snake god the high priest and
priestess sit on double throne, the
woman being clothed In nothing but a
gorgeous girdle. Worshipers of both
sexes attend with red cloths around
their loins. On an altar stands a
wooden box containing the snake,
which is brought from its box and
worshiped by all present, gifts being
placed on the altar while the popu-

that Esteis Liberis insisted on the
sacrifice of a human victim, and, in
concert with a man named Como

niece Of Como. The child's mother
was enticed away, and on her return
was informed that the chief priestess
had called for her daughter. The
mother seemed greatly honored, and
a special ceremony was Immediately
arranged.
when all were assembled the girl
was fetched from her hid place. laid

her uncle. Her head was cut OFF, and
all those present drank some Of the
blood, which was collected in bowl.
The flesh was subsequently cooked at
Conzo's home and instead Of being
eaten at once, as had formerly been
customary, was preserved and eaten
later by the priestess.
1.-TWO girls who had overlooked the
cooking of the flesh were declared to
have offended the god, and these two
we're similarly sacrificed, their deaths
being followed by two more few
days later"

FORCED TO KILL WIFE
Miner Shoots Spouse to Save Hel
From Wolves.

New York, Sept. 21.-Sinking un-
der the memory of how he killed his
badly injured wife to save her from
wolves, James Mcdowell, prospector
and miner. is with friends at 2774
cambridge avenue, the Bronx, under
medical treatment, but disposed to
welcome the forgetfulness of death.
Although exonerated by a jury for
his act Of mercy, Mcdowell is mere
shadow of the rugged man he was. His
gaunt form, white hair, and sunken
eyes testify to days Of tortured re-
trospection and sleepless nights. His
own great strength-he is six feet
tall and of big frame-was all that
saved himself from death during the
tragedy that wrecked his nerves, he
said today in telling his story.
McDowell's wife was Fanny Craw-
ford of Alberta province, and she was
% years old when he married her.
She insisted on going into the wilds
with him. He had rich claim near
Castle mountain, in British Columbia,
and the Cascade range.
