O'Rourke would drive wharf OF
piles on either side of the wreck. He
would then sink caissons, such as are
used In the construction OF founda-
tons, along the sides of the wreck,
and from the bottom OF these caissons
he would dig small tunnels under the
hull to the opposite caissons. Through
these tunnels he would place chains,
forming a huge cradle under the
wreck. With the aid Of thousand
men, supplied by the navy depart
ment, he would tighten the chains
slowly by means of several scores Of
hand screws. Thus the cradle would
gradually bring the wreck to the sur
face and would raise 1t in the AR SO
that a platform resting on the piles
might be constructed under 1t. On
this platform the hull Of the wreck
might be studied and workmen might
put the Maine in repair so that she
could ultimately sail away under her
own steam.
O'Rourke, whose plan meets the I'M
official approval OF several OF the lead
ing naval engineers at Washington,
says he can do the work In three
months.

FRESH EFFORT MADE TO CLOSE
BARBER SHOPS ON SUNDAY
Union Asks Commissioner crouI to

The union BARRIERS Of Detroit are

Michigan-ave.. having been deputized
to take the necessary steps in the
matter.
The supreme court of Michigan,
said Mr.. Poehlmann TO The Times,
has pronounced the Sunday closing
law constitutional, and there Is moth
ing left for the police to do but en-
force 1t. The union shops are obey
ing the law and we don't see any rea-
son why the other shops shouldn't be
obliged to close on Sunday. The
hotel shops are the worst offenders.
All we want is fair play in the mat
ter.
81 went to see Police Commissioner
Croul about the closing of the barber
shops on Sundays. and he gave me but
little satisfaction. He said that there
were too many blue laws now, and
that he hadn't time to give the barber
shop Sunday closing law attention"
The validity Of the Sunday closing
law for barber shops was decided by
the Supreme court In the appeal case
of Michael Bellett, Detroit barber,
who was convicted In the recorders

As was predicted In this paper,
earlier In the season. the hog market

The maintenance of retail meat prices
In other lines has had much TO do

MOTHER EARTH :
IS COY OLD LADY
Wont Tell Her Age, But She's Old
Enough, Goodness Knows,
~ May Be 100000.

/ WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Aug. 4.-This
old earth OF ours is rs coy and de-
ceitful as any maiden lady when IL
comes to the matter OF telling her
. age. She simply won't tell In plain
figures, So that any common mortal
can understand. SO for generations
scientists with exceedingly wise moo
dies have been having a guessing
game with Mother Earth's age.
The latest guess comes from the
Smithsonian institution. Frank Wig
ellsworth Clarke and George F. Beck
er, Of the II. 8. geological survey have
worked out the guess between them,
Mr.. Clarke I'm a bulletin. entitled. "A
Preliminary Study OF Chemical Denu-
natiou,'--whatever that is-and Mr.
Becker under the plain caption, The
Age of the Earth"
And the-8uess Is:
Not under 55.000.000 years.
Not over 70,000,000 years.
Oh, my, oh, my, what an old lady!
According to this guess the theo-
logical chronologist who once figured
out that the world was created near
the autumnal equinox" something
over Ave thousand years ago, was
trifie astray in his reckoning.
This scientific prying into the age
of the earth has been going on for
q long time now. Nearly 200 years
ago one Edmund HALEY, alleged TO
have been a great astronomer, figured
out way to find out how old the
world was by finding out how old the
ocean was. He concluded that IL ne
could find out how much saltier the
ocean got each year he could easily
figure out how long IL had been since
the ocea2 was perfectly fresh ocean,
right OFF the creative reel. But he
found he couldn't find out how much
saltier the ocean got every year, so
he had to give It up. Just as we'll.
The guess OF the man who would
make a fuss over such q pale apology
for comet as the late lamented lum-
mostly that gum-shoed across our cor
ner OF space wouldn't be much OF a
guess anyhow
About so years ago Lord Kelvin UNI
dertook TO make the guess. He hg-
ured on the earth as cooling star
and concluded that she must be about
9S,000,000 years old. But he played
very safe by modifying his guess with
the statement that she might be as
young as 20.000.000 years, and then
again might be as much as 100000 600
years old.

Harris, 10 guilty of killing Sheriff Dull
near Erie, the prisoner has not been
positively identified as the guilty man.

latter was fatally shot, Monday night,
says Sarris is the man she fed at her

sued after 1t had been reported that

Harris was wounded in the neck

Which Plug the Hole.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. This re-
lates to a fire In a basement occu-
pied jointly by the Economy Furni-
ture company, No. S13 Main-st., and
a pawnshop owned by G. A. Stevens
at No. 813 liz Main-st. A lead jack
eted pipe runs through the floor Of
the pawnshop to a steam radiator
above. A space near the pipe was
left when the plumbing was done. d.
rectly below the hole Ia gas pipe.
Now, at exactly two minutes of IL
o'clock In the morning, George A.
Stevens, Jr., who clerks In the pawn
shop, dropped lighted cigarette
through this hole. At the same Sec
ond the gas discovered a small leak
In the pipe and ventured out. The
cigarette set fire to the gas and in a
few moments little blue flame was
scorching the floor OF the pawnshop.
BY the time several fire companies
arrived the fire was extinguished and
the gas pipe leaked no more.
Now, here's the explanation: The
flame had melted the lead jacket
about the steam pipe, the lead had
dripped down on the gas pipe and the
leak was plugged.
All the same 1t was playing II low
down on plumbers and gasfltters.

tary, w. w. Tompkins; fiscal agent,
George H. Parker; general manager,
c. G. Galbraith; treasurer. w. A. d.

and director OF the company. All ex-
cept Parker were arraigned before
Judge Hough in the United States dis
trict court and pleaded not guilty.
Parker is understood to be on the
way here from Seattle to surrender
himCelf
Wilson was held In $4,000 bail
Tompkins and Bogart in $4,000 each.
AMI the others In $4,000 each. On the
first charge all were paroled for one
week and on the second charge they
were given two DAYS in which to find
bail. They have permission to with
draw their plea of not guilty on or be-
fore Sept. 20.
The company has outstanding $780,
100000 worth Of common and prefer
red stock. The indictment gives a
long list of statements about this
stock sent out by the management,
which. the indictment charges, were
wholly false, and concludes:
1T was part OF the scheme of said
defendants to sell their personal
stock. pretending the same to be
treasury stock, and the reason the
stock sold was made non-transfer-
anle for two years was to keep the
stock OF the market"

One work of five letters-~lower"-
tells the live stock story OF the past
week. The protracted drouth, through
out the west is sending thousands OF
cattle to a market which has nothing
to offer but bargain counter prices.
The quality OF the cattle that are
coming is decidedly poor, as they yield
small percentage Of dressed meat
which turns black after 1t has hung In
the cooler a few days and Is hard to
sell. Still, after all the above facts
are noted, they have the merit Of cost
ing less on the hooks than native cat
tie and the vendors Of cheap beef are
eager to get them.
A canvass OF the retail division OF
the fresh meat market will show that
while retailers have shaded values
considerably during the last two
weeks. they still have some distance
to 20 before Il will be possible TO buy
the dressed beef from q bullock at q
price warranted by the cost Of foot

TIPS TO WAITRESS
PAY FOR 100 ACRES
PhiIosophIc Discourse by Girl Who
Made Study Of Her
Customers.

SIOUX CITY. Ia, Aug. Miss
Margaret Jordan, a waitress In the
Mondamin Women's cafe, has become
a land owner through having saved
enough money taken In tips to pur-
chase the REIMBURSEMENT of claim
OF 40 acres five miles from Ardmore,
s. d. She will locate upon her prop
ertv next month.
Miss Jordan is one OF those girls
who anticipate the patrons wants and
saves the patron the trouble OF speak
Ing for "some more butter" and IAN
other piece of ice in this water" This
explains how she now Is able to be-
come land holder. It's the waitress
who is there with the service who gets
the cash.
81 always try to guess what the peo-
pie want before they have a chance to
tell me-" said Miss Jordan. They like
that. think that's the reason have
done so well as a waitress. People
who have an idea that everybody gives
a waitress tips just because they are
afraid or ashamed not to, have the
wrong idea about IT, II you don't give
good service you don't get very many
tips.
cafes are not bit different from other
people. They are not going around
looking for chance to give away
something for nothing. They are will
ing to pay for what they get. The aver
age man you see eating In restau-
rant is no charitable organization. He
may smile and kid the waitress, but
IL she takes that as a sign that she Is
going to get a tip whether she gives
good service OF not she Is wrong. She
has got to be real waitress"
Miss Jordan's claim Is one OF the
best in South Dakota. The land Is
excellent and the property is but
few miles from town, railroad and
a fresh water lake. Miss Jordan will
personally superintend the construc-
ton OF a three-room house on her prop
erty, though she will not do the ac-
tual work herself. being no carpenter.
She says II will be a little lonesome
out there. but after all II Is not so far
from town and she can make friends
there who viii help pass the time.
