Really Poor Penman.

There is a certain Philadelphia ply
sician of considerable prominence who
is renowned among his friends as the
worst penman in the Quaker city. He
used to write them letters and then
feel hurt when they could not read
them. When he wrote to persons who
were not familiar with his serawl they
frequently would not know whom the
letters were from. Some time ago
he introduced a typewriter into his
office, and this rendered the body Of
the letter Ineligible, but did not clear
up the difficulty over the signature.
Now, however, says the Record, he
has had made a rubber stamp bearing
his name and address in printing. He
signs HIS name in the usual scrawl, but
alongside he impresses his stamp. 1t
is a little humiliating. he says, but he
no longer has any trouble about per-
sons to whom he writes not knowing
from whom the letters are.

more than half its area. The water
is supplied wholly by the rivers ANU
and Syr, which together deliver, on
the average, 1900 cubic meters per

melting mountain SHOWS.
Titanium steel rails for railroads
were first made experimentally in 1907.
The results that they showed led to
their manufacture by several steel COM
panies in 1908, and during 1909, ac-
cording to the Engineering and Mining
Journal, their manufacture entered
upon the commercial scale. Expert
ments on the New York Central have
confirmed those made elsewhere In
showing that these rails wear several
times as long as those made OF ordi-
nary Bessemer steel. Titanium has a
great affinity for nitrogen, and since
1t is believed that considerable nitro
gen remains as an impurity in ordi-
nary steel, the good effects of an alloy
of titanium are ascribed to its acting
as fiux, thereby removing impurities
and increasing the solidity of the steel.
The increased cost is put at $3.50 per
ton of rails.

PEARYS' PROOFS
ARE QUESTIONABLE
Greatest Marches Made After He
Left Captain Bartlett.
Sudden Speed Arouses Suspicion
Shackleton and Greeley Claim that
20 Miles Day, as Claimed by
Peary, Is Far Beyond Limits Of
Human Endurance.

Washington, March 10.-By substan-
TALLY unanimous vote today, the sub
committee of the house committee on
naval affairs decided against bestowing
substantial reward upon Commander
Robert E. Peary until he has submit
ted openly proofs that he reached the
North Pole.
Representative Macon attacked Com
mander Peary's proofs. Macon told
the committee that he regarded the
sudden acceleration of the speed of the
explorer after Captain Bartlett left
him as suspicious. Before the captain
left the party, it had Travelled only 9.6
miles day. When Peary was alone,
except for negro valet and four Es-
kimos, he reported speed of 26.4
miles day for five days.
Macon.quoted Lieutenant Shackleton,
General Greedy and others, to the effect
that 10 or IL miles day of travelling
over Polar seas was the limit of human
endurance.
II confess that l am exceedingly
skeptical about Mr.. Peary's ever hav-
ing discovered the Pole" declared
Mr.. Macon today before the commit
tee, "and / am going to protest against
any honor being conferred upon him
by congress until he has established
beyond a reasonable doubt that he did
discover it. 1t must be established in
the open, and not in the dark
Macon then said that he wanted to
call attention to Zone discrepancy in
Mr.. Peary's story" This was the re-
cord of marching reported by the ex-
plorer. Macon said he regarded the
sudden accleeration of speed as Every
singular"
"The astonishing part of Mr.. Peary's
statement" said Mr.. Macon, "is the
number of miles he travelled per day
after Bartlett left him and when no
white man was with him as witness,
his only companions being his negro
valet and four Eskimos.
"His greatest marches, singularly,
were all north of the Bartlett camp.
From that time forward, going to the
Pole and returning to Cape Columbia,
he claims to have made an average Of
26.4 miles per day until he reached the
Pole; Al miles per day on his way back
to Bartlett's camp, and 1872 miles per
day from Bartlett's to Cape Columbia.
"The greatest speed he had made
before Bartlett left him was 9.06 miles
per day, SO Peary must have made
nearly three times as great speed after
Bartlett left him as he did before in
order to reach the Pole. !"
Representative Englebright, of Cal
ifornia, did not vote to defer action.
He said that he was convinced Peary
had discovered the Pole and that the
committee had sufficient proofs before
it.

PACKERS ARE TO BLAME.
Retail Meat Dealers Exonerate Tariff
Farmers also Hit.

Washington, March 9.--Ketail meat
dealers today placed upon the farmers
and the packers the responsibility for
the higher price of meat, in testimony
given before the senate committee in
vestigating the cost of living.
Five retail men from New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton were heard, and Walter Brown, a
Washington dealer who kills his own
meat, was the only one who did not
raise the price of meat, which had
gone up at least 10 per cent during the
last five years.
Mr.. Brown insisted that his prices
practically were the same then as now.
All agreed, however, that the com
petition among the retailers kept the
price to the consumer as low as posi-
BILE.
Each witness vigorously denied the
retailers were responsible for prevail
ing prices, and none would admit that
any agreement on prices existed among
them. While no one charged that the
packers were in combination, all the
witnesses who had dealings with them
declared there seemed to be no COM
plant for the retail trade.
When complaint was made to the
packers about advancing the prices,
they said, the latter explained that
stock was scarce.
John Rohlman, who conducts a mark
ct in New York City, told the commit
tee that competition among the retail
ers in New York was so keen that they
had been unable to keep pace with the
steadily increased prices, which the
wholesalers had forced upon them dur
ing the last Is years. He said the in
creases during that time amount to
about four cents pound on beef, both
to the retailer and the consumer.

sTRIKEBREAKERS USE GUNS.
Angered by Attacks, Carload of Them
Fire Upon Crowds.l

Philadelphia, March Six persons,
including young girl, were wounded
tonight with bullets fired by party OF
alleged strikebreakers who rode wildly
up and down Frankfort avenue in q
trolley car and shot into the crowds
that lined the sidewalks.
This outbreak followed the stoning
of cars tonight along Frankfort ave-
nue., after an uneventful day.
A stone thrown by one of the crowd
injured a strikebreaking motorman.
Infuriated at this, 15 Of his comrades
took out car, all the windows OF
which they broke with their clubs.
AS the car, loaded with strikebreak-
ers, sped down the avenue, bullets
were rained at the jeering crowd.
Helen May, aged ID, was struck in the
leg by bullet.
John Maloney, aged 18, and Michael
Osborn, aged "a, were also shot in the
legs, and Frank Bromley, aged %, re-
ceived bullet in the foot.
After reaching Allegheny avenue,
the car was switched to the northbound
track by its crew and the dash back to
the barn began. So swiftly was it
driven that before the crowd realized
it was coming back, it had sped past
them and into the barn.
The shooting of inoffensive bystand-
ers worked the crowd into a high pitch
of excitement, and as other cars came
down the street the mob wrecked sew
eral, leaving only the trucks on the
rails. About a dozen arrests were
made

be valuable for power development
purposes, provided the state can show
that its laws fully provide against
power monopoly and for effective con-
troll of charges for use of power. The
state must also be able to show that
development Of power on such lands
will not interfere with navigation OF
with any government irrigation pro-
ject.
The bill stipulates that states must
retain title to the lands so conveyed by
the government, and in case they fail
properly to regulate the development
and use of power the lands shall revert
to the Federal government. The bill
does not in any way seek to impose the
terms on which states shall lease power
sites or stipulate the price at which
power shall be sold.
The senate today passed bill pro-
viding that bona fde homesteaders on
government irrigation projects may,
after making substantial improve
ments on their land and upon showing
that water is not available for irriga-
tion of their lands, obtain a leave of
absence from their entries until water
is turned into the main canals, but the
period of absence will not be deducted
from the full time of residence re-
quired by law.

New York, March 9.-More carefully
guarded by police than President Taft

tenor, who recently received Black
Hand letters demanding sis, 900, re-
mained barred in his apartments today.
The singer is said to have received
more threatening letters. Caruso made
his first public appearance in opera
last night since the Black Hand start
led him with its demands. No less
than IS policemen, four detectives and
three mounted policemen, were de-
tailed to look for lurking dynamiters in
and about the opera house in Brooklyn.
Detectives mingled in the chorus while
police guarded the wings and one or

Washington, March THE forestry
reservation question was discussed and
the forest service was criticized by
Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, today, dur
ing consideration of the agricultural
appropriation bill before the senate.
The measure carries an appropria-
tion of $5, 703, 700 for the forest SER
vice, or about $4, 900, 900 in excess of
the receipts from the service. Mr..
Hepburn contended that the appropria-
tion was increasing from year to year,
whereas assurance had been given that
the service would be self-sustaining.
He said the last administration had
been conducted regardless of the rights
of the settlers in the West, and had
gone upon the theory that, where there
was no lawSthere should be no license.
He expressed confidence, however, that
the country was now entering upon a
different system.
While the agricultural bill was un-
der consideration there was extended
discussion Of a provision appropriating
$751; for the investigation for the
drainage of swamp lands.
Senator Gallinger found in the para
graph the possibility of entering on
the reclamation of swamp lands and
said that if that were to be done, it
would involve an expenditure of mil
lions of dollars. Later, when Hepburn
suggested that the expenditure of the
money should be confined to lands over
flowed by irrigation, Gallinger said:
He said such a policy would "swamp
the government, and he warned SEN
ators that if they expected to curtail
expenditures to the extent of $780,
00O,OOO as Senator Aldrich had said
might be done, they could not go far
in the direction of this provision.

Washington, March 8.-More than
81, 900, 900 was added by the house to-
day to the appropriation recommended
by the committee on postoffices and
post roads for the rural free delivery
service for the year ending June 80,
1911. The bill as whole carried $241,
100000, or about Sc, 300, 900 more than
the appropriations for the current year.
1t was passed by the house.
The rural free delivery appropria-
tion, it was stated, would be sufficient
to permit the establishment of 5000
new routes, as it would make available
for such extensions about 81, 500, 900.
For the current fiscal year $500, 900
was available for extension of this SER
vice.
That the 14th and 18th amendments
to the constitution are null and void,
was declared by resolution introduced
by Representative Sisson, of Missis-
sippi which directs the attorney gene
raj to submit the question to the Su-
preme court.
The naval appropriation Dill VIII
carry at least $780, 900 for the Puget
Sound navy yard. The largest item is
5000, 900 to continue the construction
of a new dry dock, provision being
inserted to increase the limit cost from
So, 900, 900 to So, 300, 900 in order to
permit an increase in width to 11O
feet.
The postal savings bank bill, which
passed the senate last Saturday, reach
ed the house today and was referred to
the committee on postofices and post
roads.
"When will the bill be reported?"
was asked of Chairman Weeks.
"Not this week." replied Mr.. Weeks.
"We propose to give this bill not only
earnest, but very careful consideration.
1t is liable to be some time before we
are through with it."
