Against VivisectiOn.

Mrs. A. L. Barber, active in society,
has opened warfare on the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which recently
contracted to take over all the stray
dogs found by Washington's Pound
master, for experimental purposes.
81 have read the explanation offer
ed by the parties concerned, in
which they attempt to justify the
manner in which they will expert
ment on dogs turned over to them
by the Poundmaster," said Mrs.
Barber to-day, "and | am not satisfied
with those explanations and the PEG.
Pile should not be deceived.
Shame to anyone who calls tor
ture science! Real science should
blush at such misapplication of the
term!"
Mrs. Barber made it very plain
that she did not intend to cease her
vigilance because Acting Secretary
Hayes of the Agricultural Department
asserted that the dogs turned over to
him by the Poundmaster would not
be harmed. Mrs. Barber is men,
Der of the Antivivisection Society,
the Humane Society, and at one time
was vice president of the National
Antivivisection Society.

Hume Woman Gives Clue Which
Locates Vending.

Betrayed by a letter from Mrs. Cora
Muena, of Hume, Mo-, to whom he
was engaged to be married under the
name of Henry Jacquenim, Joseph
Vending accused of the murder of
Alma Kellner in Louisville, KY, four
months ago, was arrested at San
Francisco, California, Saturday after
noon. In his relentless pursuit of the
supposed murderer detective j. H.
Carney many times lost the trail,
but the secret of the whereabouts of
his quarry always lay with Mrs. Cora
Muena, milliner of Hume, Mo. 1t
was from her home that Carney flash
ed the information that led to the ar
rest. 1t seemed the irony of fate that
the only respectable woman found by
Carney to have been connected with
Vending p all his wanderings
should have been the unconscious
means of betraying him. Mrs. Muena
met Vending at the homd of her
aunt in Houston; Tex, and before
she returned to Hume she was en-
gagged to the dashing young French
man, who dazzled the aunt with tales
of his wealth in France which would
come to him with the death of his
aged father. Before Mrs. Muena left
Houston she grew to fear Vending
and after her return to Hume she
broke the engagement.

1t Was Loaded.

Two seven-year-Old Clinton boys
were playing several days since.
One of them had a target rifle which
he pointed at the other, and saying,
'1'll shoot you,' pulled the trigger
There was>a sharp click as the
hammer descended, but nothing else;
and the boy at whom the gun was
pointed sharply reproved his com
panion.
Cooking the gun again, the other
boy pointed it at a dog saying, '1'l
shoot that dog them" There was a
sharp report and the dog keeled over
dead with a bullet in its head.
The gun was loaded all the time
and the failure Of the cartridge to ex'
plode the first time saved a human
life. Henry Co. Dem.

COURTS OPINION
is A KNOCKOUT
TO GERRYMANDER.
Refusal of Secretary of State to
File Republicans Petition
Sustained.

jefferson City. Mo-, Aug, IA
majority of the Judges of the SUI
preme Court to-day sustained Secre-
tary of State Roach in refusing to file
the initiative petitions presented by
Chairman Dicky and Secretary Lake
of the Republican State Committee
July 7, under which it was proposed
to submit to an amendment to the
Constitution gerrymandering the
State senatorial districts in the inter-
est of the Republican party.
Judge Fox filed the ruling opinion,
which was concurred in by Judges
CAN'T, Burgess and Graves, the latter
filing a concurring opinion. Judge
Woodson dissented in short opinion.
Judge Woodson dissented in a short
opinion. Judge Lamm, the only Re-
publican member of the court, dis
sented without filing an opinion.
Judge Valiant was absent and did
not sit in the case.
. The dissenting opinion Of Judge
Woodson is based largely on the
theory that a court cannot pass upon
a proposed law. In other words, il
is premature to bring an action in
court to hold only proposed piece
of legislation invalid.
The ruling Of the majority of the
court knocks the last leg from under
Governor Hadley, Chairman Dickey
of the State Committee and few
other Republicans, who met here
June l6 and adopted a plan for re.
arranging the State senatorial dis:
tricts that had previously been pre-
pared by State Bank Commissioner
John E. Swanger, who hopes to be
the Republican nominee for Cover
nor two years hence.
The State Committee, or rather &
part of the committee, busted itself il
circulating petitions and obtained
enough names to validate the reds
tricting proposition, had not othel
complications interviewed. Chairman
Dickey and Secretary Lake of the
committee came here July Z and pre-
sented the petitions to Secretary O.
State Roach, and the latter, backet
by legal opinion from Attorney
General Major, refused to file them

 It also provides that all of the road must be built FROM Port Lobos to the north.
 Every pound of supplies, every foot of steel rails, every ton of equipment, every bit of food for tae men7-all MUST go through Port Lobos, after being landed af the wharf by steamers
 As this is the nearest dccpwater, tide water port to the Panama canal when this is completed Gin four more years), the goods, wares and merchandise now ship ped b.. rail from the cast, will be shipped by water to Port LObOs
 There they will be shipped in box cars IN BOND into the great southwest. the same way that goods are now shipped from Chicago through Canada and into Buffalo over the Michigan Central, the Grand Trunk and the Wabash railways, which run partly in Canada and partly in the United States. In this way no duty is paid.

PORT LoBos- WHAT AND WHERE

Port LObOS IS deepWater, tdeWater har- bor, lying about 2S0 miles southwest of Phoenix and POO miles north of Guaymas.
 Admiral Dewey plotted this harbor for the government. He praised it highly. Within one hundred yards of the shore at low tide is B feet of water, deepening rap idly into 1OO 2OO and 300. The channel to the Pacific is unObstructed.
 It is the nearest port to the great Pan anna canal. The largest ships can come in within 200 yards of the shore line with perfect safety. The harbor is three and a half miles in extent. On the north it is protected by huge point of land called Pelican Point, much after the fashion of San Diego harbOr.
 The Arizona, Mexico and Gulf of Cali fornia Railroad is about to start cOnstrnc ton from Port LObOS to Silverbell, Ari- zona, a distance of POT miles. The conces- sion was acquired on Thursday last. The engineers are on the ground at Port LObOs, making sonndings. Supplies are being brought in.
 When built this line will have the short est railway haul from tidewater to the heart of the great southwest.
 It strikes like an arrow straight into the interior
 Where men now haul trains from New Orleans, Galveston or Los Angeles ports. they will haul from Port LObOs-less than 300 miles from Phoenix to tidewater.
 A saving of hundreds of miles in freight haul by rail is thus made. This means lower freights for Phoenix and the great southwest
 A straight line is the shortest distance between points, A short line is the cheap est freight haul for a-railway system, and he7road having itepossesses an enormous advantage over competitors.
