ENGINEER EXPLAINS HIS
PLAN To RAISE MAINE
John F. 0'Rourke Lays Scheme in
Detail Before Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-John F.
O'Rourke, an engineer of this city,
has held several conferences with
former President Roosevelt explaining
a plan he has evolved for raising the
sunken battleship Maine by surround
ing the hulk with a system of pneu-
matte caissons lifting it above the
harbor bed and effecting repairs.
Roosevelt seemed to be deeply inter
ested in the explanations of the plan.
The engineer claims that the cais-
sons built around the submerged craft
will easily permit of her being swung
in a cradle of cables and lifted clear
from the bottom. When brought to
this position. according to O'Rourke,
she can be repaired as easily as though
she stood in a dry dock.
He confidently expects that when mis-
plans work out as he hopes they will
the Maine will be able to leave Havana
harbor under her own steam.
Some seafaring men think that
O'Rourkes plan is impracticabie, in
asmuch as the terrific force of the
explosion which wrecked the Maine on
February Is, 1898, probably broke her
back and any attempt to raise the yes
sci would result in her falling apart
They also say that the pressure of the
water at the depth at which she is
lying has undoubtedly done much to
weaken the hull, so much so that any
attempt to raise the Maine would end
in her breaking up.

.EXTRAVAGANT IS
WHEELER'S IDEA
Head Of University of California
Declares United States
Lives on False Plane
TARIFF MAY BE THE CAUSE
Does Not Think Trusts Forced Up
the Cost of LiV-
ing
TARIFF MAY BE THE CAUSE
ASSOCIATED Press)

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-That this coun-
try is imperiled by its artificial and
extravagant plan of living is one of
the conclusions emphasized by Benja-
min Ide Wheeler of the University of
California on his return from Eu-
ropean trip.
Mr.. Wheeler passed yesterday in Chi
cago, leaving for the Pacific coast last
night.
AFTER several months in Europe I
scarcely could fail to be impressed with
the difference in the manner of living
in this country and abroad" said Pres
ident Wheeler. "Our living has been
forced to an artificial plane. We are
tremendously eXtravagant. We nave
been pushed. under forced draught, up
on an artificial staging. The whole
structure is imperiled.
I'm the cities of Europe they are
complaining of the high cost of living,
but they have no such cause for lamen-
tation as have the American people
Of course, people in this country make
more money than they do abroad, but
1 rather think the wage Garner gets
left in the long rum"
President Wheeler said he was at a
loss to explain the exact cause of such
conditions.
Perhaps it is due to our protective
tariff system" he said. Il believe
revision will have to come, but no one
seems to be able to tackle It,
Il doubt if the trusts are respon-
sible for our artificial plane of liv-
ing, although they represent the most
immediate peril this country faces" ="
President Wheeler has been away
from the United 0tates nearly year.
From last October until March he lee
tured at the University of Berlin, oc-
cuipying the Roosevelt professorship
endowed byj James Speyer of New
York. Since March he has spent most
of his time in England.

WRECKED steamships
PASSENGERS GAIN PORT
Vessel Arrives at Juneau with
More News of Princess
May Disaster

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 6.-The
steamer George today brought the pas
sengers of the wrecked steamship
Princess May to Juneau, and also some
members of the crew. Captain Mcleod
and a number of the officers and crew
are on Sentinel island, waiting until
the salvage operations begin.
The wreck took place in American
waters, and d Seattle firm will under

wreckers being excluded by law.
Twenty-Five sacks of mail were TAX

sent south on the steamship Jefferson
last night. There was a big shipment
of mineral ore in the hold, and during
the salvage operations this will be
dumped overheard.
Half the width of the ship was all
the distance would have been needed to
clear the reef. The steamship was moV-
ing thirteen knots an hour She struck
lightly and skidded, and then struck
heavily and stopped The Sentinel is
land light had been visible for half an
hour. The quartermaster saw the peril
a moment too late. He tried to shift
the course of the vessel, but was un-
able to do so.

BABY SAFELY PLAYS WITH
COILED RATTLESNAKE

NEVADA CITY. Cal, Aug. 6,-The
little baby of Mrs. James OXalli Of
Blue Tent when she went into the
back yard to look for her child yester-
day, was found by the mother playing
with a huge rattlesnake, the latter
coiled up and kissing and rattling as
though to amuse the child.
Each time the child stopped over to
pick up the reptile it would stick out
its tongue, which served all the more
to delight the baby.
The mother was frantic and quickly
drew the child away, later dispatching
the snake with a stick. 1t measured
three feet and had four rattles and a
button. The rattlers are unusually
numerous in this district this year.

Cleveland Police Probe MySteri-
GUS Murder of Millionaire
Near His Home
REWARD OF $4,000 OFFERED
Watchman and Chauffeur Say
They Saw Foreigner Lurk-
inu About Residence
Associated Press)

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 6-After "a
hours work the police are tonight as
much at sea as ever in regard to the
mysterious murder Of William l.. Rice,
the millionaire lawyer whose body was
found in the roadway near his house
last night.
Rice had been shot twice, struck on
the head by blunt weapon and
slashed across the left hand with a
knife. The theory of robbery has been
abandoned and the police now believe
the murdered man met his death at
the hands Of men who were seeking
revenge They are searching for
an italian golf caddy, who, it is said
had sworn vengeance against Rice for
siding against him in a fight which
he had with another caddy, ana which
resulted in his dismissal.
FOREIGNERS NEAR HOUSE
Apart from the fact that too
foreigners were seen near the place
where the murder occurred just prior
to the discovery of the body, the police
confess they have nothing tangible to
guide them.
The body was found close to a pow
erful arc light, and although Mr.. Rice
carried a large sum of money on his
person, in addition to several articles
of jeweiry, nothing was missing A
reward of $4,000 has been offered by
Rice's law partners for the capture Of
the murderer.
A startling development came to-
night with the testimony of three men,
a night watchman, a patrolman and
chauffeur, who told how they had
found a man lurking in the rear Of the
Rice home just prior to the murder.
The man appeared to be a foreigner
and when he was detected fed
TWO BULLETS IN BODY
These men also testified four shots
had been fired instead of two, as at
first had been stated. Two bullets
were found in Rices body and the
other two are believed to have been
signal to the murderers accomplices
who were watching the other ap-
proaches to the Rice home for their
victim.
While refusing to make public the
entire result of their Investigations,
the police profess to have established
that Mr.. Rice's movements were close
" watched all yesterday evening, and
when he left the Euclid club for his
home assassins were lying in wait
in at least three places.

Prof. See of Mare Island 0bser.
vatory Announces Results of
Two Years. Work
SAYS SUN AND STARS COLLIDE
Blazing Forth of New Luminous
Bodies Caused by These
Heavenly Disasters
Associated Prassl

VALLEJO. Cal, Aug. 6.-Announce-
ment is made by Professor IT. j. j.
See, U. S. N, the noted astronomer
in charge of the naval observatory at
Mare island, that he succeeded in es-
tablishing the general cause of vari-
able stars.
For the past two years Professor See
has been occupied with extensive re-
searches in cosmical evolution, which
have given an entirely new aspect to
the nebular hypothesis and have be-
come celebrated under the name of the
Capture Theory"
The main cause invoked to explain
the round form of planetary orbits and
other heavenly motions is a resisting
medium Of nebulous material which is
shown to be diffused everywhere in
space.
Within the past fifteen years many
hundred variable stars have been dis
covered in star clusters, especially at
the Harvard observatory by Pickering
and Bailey. Some of these have been
critically studied by Barnard of the
Yerkes observatory. and the periods of
light variation found to be as regular
as the motion of a perfect clock, so
that fluctuation of light of these vari-
ables could be used to measure time
almost as accurately as the rotation
of the earth about its axis,
In certain clusters the variables are
to be counted by hundreds in others
very few can be found. Heretofore
this fact has been very perpleXing to
astronomers. After careful investiga
tion Professor See finds that the Clus-
ter variables are suns attended by
planets. which revOlVe in close proX-
unity in short periods, and that every
time they pass through perihelion they
plunge into a resisting medium of ne
bulosity so that the light suddenly
blazes up and afterwards dies down
gradually.
Some clusters are full of nebulosity,
while others are quite free from it and,
according to Professor See. this ac-
counts for the abundance of variables
in certain clusters and their almost to-
tai absence in others.
Professor See says he has established
also that the blazing forth Of stars now
and then in the heavens is caused by
actual collisions with planets revolving
about them. The fixed stars generally
are now proved to be attended by sys-
TENS of planets similar to those which
revOlve about the sun.
Professor See asserts that any star,
such as our sun, will have, in the long
run, collision once in a hundred bill
lion years. The great length of period
between these collisions shows that in
general such catastrophies do not af-
feet the safety of the universe.

DISCOVERS IMPROVEMENT
IN AEROPLANE COVERINGS

BERKELEY, Aug. civilian E. de
Berry, a senior in the college of min
ing, University of California, who, with
his brother, e. P de Berry, is build
ing an aeroplane in Home street has
discovered, he says, a new secret pro-
cess for the treatment of silk covering
for the machine which will be tried
out in a month.
According to William de Berry. avi-
ators are troubled by the brittleness
of their aeroplane coverings, which
must be imperr;eable to air. He has
discovered a process, he says, of chemi-
cally treating the cloth SO that it re-
tains it's natural strength and yet is
effective for aviation purposes.

WAGE FARMERS AND TARIFF

The Republican party gives three
reasons for its support OF the pro-
t~ectivc tariff-infant industries, high
or wages and difference in cost OF
production, as compared with other
countries.
The first is a deception and a
fraud. There are no industries IN
our land hat need protection now
for those industries that cannot
stand alone never will sit upright
unaided, and it is financial folly to
subsidize them.
As to protection enabling us to
give a higher wage than we could
otherwise do, the men who purchase
this protection tax do it for them
selves alone and will keep every cent
Of it to spend on their passions or to
add to the colossal money power.
There is no real difference in the
cost of production. The proof Is
that our manufacturers now sell their
products in foreign markets whiie
competing with foreign cost OF pro-
duction and could sell even more
cheaply if freed of the SO per cent
tariff tax so benevolently levied IN
their favor by national lawmakers.
Labor is cheaper in Europe only
seemingly. In dollars and cents u
annear chcaped, but in substance, in
the necessities OF life, there IS no al
ference. For labor in all lands must
be fed and clothed or it cannot work.
Labor in Europe is as well led ana
clothed as il is here.
How long will government OF the
people, for the people and by the
people," be defrauded, deceived
h~umbugged?

SWALLOWED THE PILL

1t is certainly amusing to note
how the republican party OF Nevada
take program from Morehouse and
Springmeyer.
4. few months g Morehouse was
dcriGed and ignored by the republi-
cans. When his name was mention
ed some one would ask Who is
Morenouse?"
4. few months ago he was billed to
sleak here and there wasn't a cor
poral's guard to hear him and his
talk didn't come off.
He announced his political pro-
gram in Goldfield early in the spring
before the sonw had melted on the
slope of Mazuma mountain.
1t merely raised a laugh and the
gam went on. Then Morehouse be-
gan to preach R~ooseveltism and In
sureency from the housetops.
The republican leaders would have
none of it.
The primaries opened and More
house came out and flung his de-
6ance in the teeth of the machine.
They had arranged to nominate Mas
sey for governor and Brown for at
to-ney general.
Morehouse got busy and put Oddie
and Springmeyer into the fight and
thc machine laughed. But the voters
took kindly to Warehouses; program
and the first thing you knew the ma
chine woke up and realized what they
were up against.
last night they were wrestling with
the proposition as to what platform
would be adopted.
They said that if it was anti-rail-
road people would say they would
BE- stealing democratic thunder and
it would not do.
But Morehouse said he had a plat
form and he got the leaders together
and read it.
Not on your life" said the ma
chine.
"You program with me-" said Har-
~.
Well. the machine came into the
Morehouse camp and swallowed Tho
platform and took program.
He crammed it right down the
throat of the machine and here end
eh the first chapter.
