JAPANESE SPIES CAUGHT.
They Were Trying to Secure Plans OF
Manila Fortifications.

Manila, p. 1.-Two Japanese engag-
ed in an effort to secure plans of the
Notifications at Corregidor, Cavlte,
have been arrested by the military
authorities, and are being held sub
ject to instructions from the secre-
tary of war, Jacob M. Dickinson.
They approached a soldier of the en-
gineer corps, and the latter was
caught taking photographs. He re,
vealed the plan Of the Japanese, and
agreed to assist in their capture. He
said that the Japanese had offered a
large sum of money for photographs
and plans of the Notifications.
The Japanese consul here has taken
no action in the matter, but the Jap
anese residents insist that their coun,
tryment were serving some European
power
No federal or local statute covers
the offense and it is probable that
the Japanese will be released and or
dered to leave the country. The sol
der has been confined, and it is the
intention to transfer him to the Unit
ed States

FARM EXPORTS ADVANCE.
Foodstuffs Have Advanced Abroad as
Well as at Home.

Washington, D. C.-Exported farm
products of the United States are
steadily rising in value, while IN
many cases the exports of manufac'
lures show decline in the same
comparative period Foreign coun-
tries were willing to pay higher
prices in every instance for farm
products during February this year
than they were in February a year
ago. The export price table issued
by the bureau Of statistics OF the de-
partment of commerce and labor
shows long line of increases rang
ing from 80 per cent upward. u
prices given there are exclusive OF
freights, and represent merely the
prices at the time Of expectation.
Taken in comparison with those
figures which are quoted in eXplana-
ton of the higher cost of living, this
newest table makes it apparent that
exported foodstuffs have advanced
abroad as well as at home. Salte
and fresh beef exports alone show
slight decreases in price for Febru
airy, as compared with the same pc
Rod year ago.

dred men, women and chlldren
were killed when, during country
ball, fire destroyed a barn at Oekoe-
rito. With their clothes afire, the
dancers fought to escape from the
structure. Scores were trampled as
the exits became clogged with Dodles.
The disaster came at the height OF
the festivities. The floor was crowd
ed when the flames were first seen.
In a moment the hundreds of dancers
were fighting in one tangled mass
The flames spread with great ra-
pidity. Practically the entire village
was in the barn and there was but a
handful outside to. help. There were
no facilities for fighting the nre.
When the exits were most crowded
and scores were hemmed in on the
burning floor, dashing madly about
in vain efforts to extlngulsh their
clothes, the roof fell.
A fund for the survivors and the
relatives of the dead has been opened,
the Hungarian government giving
10000.
Although the authorities nave at
tempted to minimize the loss OF life,
it was learned definitely from private
advices that more than five hundred
persisted. Sixty of the one hundred

GOVERNMENT COOK BOOK
High Cost Facts Induce Government
to Issue Book.

Washington, D. C.-Discussion OF
the increasing cost of living has
brought to light quite generally that
the cheaper cuts of meats are more
difficult to prepare for the table than
the more expensive portions OF the
carcass, due to lack OF knowledge
of how they may be made appetlZlng
and palatable.
With a view to providing the house
keepers Of the country with practlcal
suggestions along this line, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
prepared a manual of economy IN
meat cooking that contains much
valuable information which will be
issued free. 1t is known as "Econom-
ic Use of Meats in the Home and
may be had by addressing request
to the secretary of agriculture, Wash
ington, ID. &.
The contents cover a variety OF
subjects, including fifty recipes of sa'
worry dishes, and much general infor-
nation, such as:
General methods of preparing
meats.
Utilizing cheaper cuts of meats in
palatable dishes.
A simple but practical method OF
clarifying fats.
Methods of extending the flavor OF
meats.
The recipes have been selected
from wide range collected from ap'
proved sources, and are all simple
| formulas calling for such items OF
food as are generally found in every
household and requiring no technical
! knowledge to compound.

JUSTICE rREWER DEAD.
Aged Associate Justice Of the U. S. Supreme
Court Passes Away.

Washington, o. C. -- David Josiah
Brewer. associate justice OF the SUI
preme court of the United States,
died, as the result of stroke of apo
plexy. His death followed within
minute or two, before he could be car
ried to his bed. Mrs Brewer was
with him when the end came. Justice
Brewer was 70 years old.
The end came altogether unexpect-
eddy. Although he had not been reel
ing well for the past few days, the
aged jurist was apparently in the
best of health and spirits.
Justice Brewer came to the SUI
preme court of the United States from
the federal court in Kansas. lie was
the second eldest member OF the
court, Justice Harlan only being his
senior. He was regarded as the most
democratic of all the members OF t.
court, most affable, approachable and
accommodating. Ee was the one man
on the bench who had proof copies
of his opinions prepared for the news
papers, and this he did consistently.
Another characteristic of the dead
jurist was that he never took any OF
the time of the court or the public IN
announcing MS opinion. He would
give only in a few words his conclu-
sions and then hand down the proof
sheets of his opinion, always COM
pletely arranged.
Justice Brewer essentially was
western man, and his sympathies
were always with the west. He dealt
largely with railroad corporations and
with corporations generally.
Justice Brewers death raises a Sc
rious question as to the action of the
court regarding the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco Company suits. and
it is not improbable that the cases
will have to be retired, since there
now remains but seven justice to pass
upon them, Justice Moody not having
participated in the trials by reason
of continued illness.
David Josiah Brewer was born in
Smyrna, Asia Minor, June 20, 1887
the son of Rev. Josiah and Amelia
Field Brewer
He was appointed by President Ar
thur Judge of the United States cir
cult for the eighth circuit in 1884 and
served five years, and following this
service resident Harrison appointed
him as associate justice OF the SUI
preme court of the United States.

ERUpTIONS ON SUN.
Brilliant Auroral Displays Have DC
Cured in Chicago and Vicinity.

Chicago, III. -- Strange eruptiOns
have appeared on the sun, according
to a statement by Professor Edwin B.
Frost, director of Yerkes observatory
at Williams Bay, Wis.
"The eruptions, which shoot from
the surface of the sun like skyrock-
ets,' said Professor Frost, "are easily
visible at the edge of the disc. One
of them shot out to a length of 150,-
900 miles, as near as we could esti-
mate. 1t then detached itself from
the main body and sped through
space, a mass of luminous gas not
dissimilar to a comet. Before it dis
appeared it had reached a distance
from the sun of about 1000 miles
The eruptions are probably caused
by the release of pressure on some
particular spot of the sun"

BAN ON blind TICERS"
In Response To Loud Complaints From Various
DRY" Districts, President TAFT Directed
That 'Bootlcggers" Be Arrested.

Washington, D. C.-War on blind
tigers" and on "bootleggers' mas
been declared by the administrator.
Hereafter persons engaged in these
forms of the liquor tarffic are 10 Dc
dealt with much more drastlcally
than heretofore.
This stand of the government mas
particular reference to violations OF
the internal revenue laws in dry"
counties, where local enactments pro-
nibit dealing in liquor.
Loud complaints had come to Pres
ident Taft from various dry dis
tricts, notably in the south and west,
that the prohibition laws were mega
lived through the operations OF the
blind tigers" and the "bootleggers,"
and in response to demands for rene
dial measures, he directed that steps
be taken to stop the practices
New regulations were drawn under
the supervision of Mr.. Cabell, the
commissioner of internal revenue, anu
approved by Secretary MacVeagn.
They set out that as the peddlng
of liquor is not contemplated by the
internal revenue laws, and no pro-
vision is made for the issuance OF any
stamp legalizing such practice, PED
dlers of liquors or "bootleggers are
not to be regarded as coming within
the class of unintentional violators,
and should be arrested and reported
for prosecution whenever found sell
ing liquor in such manner.
AS a supplemental measure OF assls-
lance to the state in the enforcement
of their prohibition laws, method
has been provided by which they may
obtain information gathered by the
federal government of internal reye'
nue. law violations.
