NiokaIaok Cave.

Nickajack was once the name OF an
important Cherokee town on the bank
Of the Tennessee river. The Cherokees,
who had aided the British In the Rev
dictionary war and had been well
paid for their assistance, clustered
their wigwams at this point about
17SO-82, and the village was known az
one Of the "Chickamauga towns" The
meaning Of the name is now lost.
though 1t was probably Of Cherokee
origin, as 1t occurs in the annals Of the
tribe as a mans name. This name
is also given to creek and to a very
remarkable cave, the latter being stu
ated very near that point of the south
ern boundary of Tennessee where it "a
intersected by the line separating the
states Of Alabama and Georgia. Nick
ajack cave, though but little known,
is one Of the wonderful caves OF the
world. being Of even more imposing
proportions than the Mammoth cave
Of Kentucky.-Argonaut.

The Perfect Putterer

The art Of puttering consists Of do
ing for yourself slowly and inefficient
ly what you can pay some one else to
do for you quickly and well. It il
hard work that you do not have to do,
strenuous loaf1ng that invites the soul.
The putterer works In pure love, and
If the product prove poor thing it Is
at least his own. To be perfect put
terer is to achieve a liberal education.
Puttering is tonic relaxation from
the mechanical efficiency Of our pro-
fessional selves, corrective OF the ex-
treme specialization that otherwise
would result In our becoming all foot
or hand or head. The putterer makes
laws and breaks laws and breaks the
laws he makes He produces startling
variations from type. An inspired fool,
he is a true creator-Atlantic.

Mr.. Newlands' statement was by
way of urging the passage of a bill
which he introduced providing for
this commission. His measure would
separate the Bureau of Corporations
from the Department OF Commerce
and Labor and merge the bureau into
q commission of interstate trade,
with the Commissioner of Corpora
tons a member of the new commits
sion. II would require all the In
dustrial corporations having receipts
exceeding $5,000,000 to make satis-
factory statements as to capitaliza-
tion, finances and operations, such
corporations to be known as United
States registered" companies. II
proposes to make lack of such regis
tration an indication of something
wrong"
Mr.. Newlands declared that II such
legislation had replaced or aided the
sherman Antitrust act over 20 years
ago this country would have ad-
vanced as far in the regulation of in
dustrial organizations as it has in
railroad regulation. He referred to
recent expressions of Mr.. Gary, of the
Steel Corporation, and others as In
dicating that the great corporation
managers recognize that public regu-
lation is now inevitable.

There has been much talk regarding
the selection OF national flower Has
It all been wasted? The Brooklyn
Eagle remarks upon the lndisputable
fact that there is no authority in the
Constitution for the selection Of a ma
tional flower However. great many
things have come to be in this country
without specific constitutional au-
thority. There is. for instance, ma
tional bird, the American eagle. There
is Uncle Sam" and there is Miss Co.
lumbia," with no authority for either,
except the self-assured authority Of
the cartoonists. But these are things
upon which everybody is agreed.
There is not likely to be a national
flower until everybody is agreed upon

country can afford to waits

OWN TO BITS BY BOMB
Dynamite at Scene Of Safe and
sane Oisp, ay-- Boy Hurl-
ed Stone at IT,

New York.-SiXteen-year-old JOS
eph Sennelli was literally blown to
pieces and two OF his companions,
Joseph and John Greece, IL and IA
years old, respectively, were fatally
wounded when a dynamite bomb they
had found in the street exploded.
Sennelli lived at No. l243 Brooklyn
avenue, Brooklyn, and the other two
youngsters at No. 1878 the same ave-
nue..
The three boys had been interested
spectators at the Fourth of July cele-
bration given by the Vandeyeer Park
Taxpayers Association, in front of
public school No. SO, at Newkirk
avenue and East Thirty-hrst street,
Flatbush. They had planned TO get
up early and visit the scene of the
display, in the hope OF finding any
thing OF value that might have been
dropped by the large number of per-
sons who had been present
The Greece boys were up before 7
o'clock, and after calling for Sem
relli, started for the public school.
The only articles of value found were
two neatly wrapped packages. They
looked very much like small-sized
cans of vegetables. They were wrap
ped in tissue paper and tied with
/ heavy cord.
They took the can to Sennelli's
home, where they decided TO find out
what II contained. After removing
/ the wrapping one Of the youngsters
produced a penknife and tried to
open the can, but finding this impos-
sible, threw It to the stone walk
Nothing happened Then Joseph
Greece got cobblestone and drop
ped 1t on the can.
/ Instantly there was a binding
fash. Houses in the nelghborhood
were shaken, windows broken and
many persons in the neighborhood
were hurled to the sidewalk. When
the smoke cleared away the body OF
Sennelli was found 80 feet away. His
head was practically blown from his
, body, his arms were ripped from
their sockets, fingers from one Of his
hands being picked up across the
street. His hatchet and jacket were
found 25 feet up in tree.

CASTRO IN VEN ZUELA
ExIIed Presld snt Has Landed There
In Disguise.

Washington.-Cipriano Castro, the
exiled president of Venezuela, has
eluded the vigilance of the nations
of the world and landed in his native
country in disguise at Castilletas, on
Goajira Peninsula, according to re-
port to the State Department from
Caracas, confirming a rumor from
there.
The Venezuelan government is
making strenuous efforts to cope with
the situation and Illustrate any revo-
lutionary designs of the former
president. Gen. Jorge Pello, friend
Of Castro, has been arrested at
Maracaibo, and others of his fol-
lowers are said to have been i'm
prisoned. His family is reported to
be at Cucuta.
It is supposed that the elusive
Venezuelan reached Castilletas in a
launch from Santa Marta, Columbia
where he arrived from Colon. II is
not known how he reached Colon.

PRESIDENT TAFT
TO ENDEAVORERS
Crowds Cheer Him al the Allan
tic City Pier.
PRAISES WORK OF SOCIETY.
The President Also Refers to the
Good TO Be Derived From
the Arbitration Treaty
With England.

Atlantic City, n. Js-In a speech
to the International Christian En-
deavor Convention here President
Taft declared that the negotiations
for the arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and the United States
have reached such a stage that there
is no doubt as to the s.gling Of the
pact.
81 am glad to say" said the Presl-
dent, that today we have reached
such point In the negotiations for a
treaty of universal arbitration with
one OF the great European powers
that we can confidently predict the
signing OF a satisfactory treaty. The
arbitration treaty heretofore with
Great Britain and other countries has
excepted from the causes which may
be arbitrated those which involved
the vital interests of either party or
its honor. The treaty which we are
now closing with Great Britain elm
mates, these exceptions and pro-
vides that all questions of interna-
tional concern OF justifiable char
acter shall be submitted to the arbi-
tration of an impartial tribunal"
The President expressed the hope
that eventually half a dozen Euro
pean countries may make similar
treaties. Such action, he said. will
not abolish war, bu, would furnish a
forcible instrument in preventing it.
The President left Washington
amid the closing freaks of a severe
thunderstorm. His private car was
20 degrees cooler than 1t was early
in the week when he journeyed
through Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl-
yania, with temperature indoors
OF 100 degrees. Senator Briggs, OF
New Jersey; Secretary Hilles and
Major Butt accompanied him. At
Philadelphia the Presidents car was
attached to a special train that made
the run to Atlantic City in 60 min
utes.
The President spoke from a plat
form on the Million-dollar Pier. Sew
eral thousand persons heard him and
cheered him as he entered and as he
left the pier.
The first part of the Presidents
speech was devoted to a brief review
OF the work OF the Christian En-
deavor Societies.
Such movement" said the
President, cannot but have the most
beneficial effect upon the citizenship
of nation like this, and should be
lacking in appreciation Of those cur
rents of popular reform and indi-
vidual uplifting If did not seize
such an opportunity to pay Just
tribute to those who have deserved
so well of the republic; for while this
country has no state church and en-
courages the utmost freedom of reli-
gious belief and practice, II is fun
damental error to suppose that those
who are responsible in any degree
for the public welfare may not in
every proper way encourage all in
strumentalities in betterment OF the
individual man, all moral and reli-
glous movements for his higher
spiritual welfare without regard to
the denominatlonal Jurisdiction in
which such movements take their
source or exercise their influence.
They necessarily tend to leaven of
the whole community and to the
righteousness that exalteth a ma
ton"

A COMMISSION FOR TRUSTS
Bill |. troduced BY Senator New
lands--- Interstate rade
Commiss

Washington. An interstate trade
commission Of five members to con-
troll industrial corporations, as the
Interstate Commerce Commission
controls the railroads, was advocated
in a bill introduced by Mr.. Newlands,
of Nevada. Mr.. Newlands in state
went accompanying that measure
contended that the Standard Oil and
Tobacco decisions and the recent gov
ernment report on the steel industry
demonstrated the need of "an inde-
pendent, quasi-iudicial and admins
trative tribunal of great character
and dignity as far removed from par
tisan control as are the courts" The
plan is to apply only to industrial
corporations engaged in interstate
trade whose annual receipts exceed
$5,000,000.

C|PR|ANO CASTRO
FOOLS POWERS
Report Says, Back in Venezuela
Planning Revolution.
ARMY ALLEGED T0T0TAL | 900
Eludes Inter- ationsl Watchers, In
cludins the Uni.ed States, Which
Have Been Trying TO Pre-
vent HIS Return.

Caracas.-Cipriano Castro, self
styled man of destiny, who once set
out with an army of % ranchmen
and overturned the government, is IN
Venezuela anG seems practically as
sured OF regaining the presidency.
Even many OF the military authori-
ties here assert that the present
regime is tottering and that only
foreign Intervention can save II.
Castro already has an army OF more
than 1000 men. These troops are
equipped with modern army rifles,
using steel packeted bullets.
In the Credit Lyonnaise OF France
Castro has on deposit 35,OOO,OOO
francs. He is SAID 20 have had the
additional backing OF Banker Siyera,
who asserted that unlimited means
would be, at the disposal of the exiled
dictator.
From all sides Castro'sr former
friends are rallyi1g to him. Reyolu-
tion has been in the air for months.
Newspapers here have been deyoured
for news OF the eXile's wanderings
and of the success of attempted fill
busters from tho United States gulf
ports. Even with prison staring them
in the face, soldiers and civilians
have declared they wanted but one
word to fight for their former chief.
There is every indication that the
arms and ammunition for the rebels
were sent out of Cuba.
Castro means fight, and fight to a
finish. How large his army may
have swelled by tomorrow is matter
Of conjecture based upon how long
It will take recruits to sail to Castil-
letas.
Castro landed at Castilletas, on
Gejira Peninsula, the territory which
was in dispute between Colombia and
Venezuela This territory is mac
cessible except by ship, and a COM
paratively small force could hold 1t
against all comers. Castro is safe so
long as he remains here, but the gov
ernment knows he will not do that.
and II is likely that the first trouble
will occur in Falcon Province.
In the meantime the Castro forces
have everything to hope for from
their allies in Cuba. With a revolu-
tion on that island probable, If not
imminent, and the whole country ex-
cited, plans are progressing steadily
to ship out ammunition to this state.
How Castro landed is yet mystery.
Whence he came cannot be stated.

Washington.-Two bills aimed at
the traffic in intoxicants into dry"
States from other States were intro
duced by Representative Rodden-
berry, of Georgia.
One OF them would prohibit the
use Of the mails for the purpose OF
advertising, soliciting or offering for
sale intoxicating liquors In COM
munities where State or local laws
forbid the sale of such liquors. The
other bill would make it unlawful to
collect or receipt for special tax
for carrying on a wholesale or retail
liquor business in States where the
laws forbid the sale of intoxicants.

of troops from San Antonio to their
regular stations will be made within
the next few weeks, in addition to
the several regiments to be with
drawn as announced a week ago.
According to a statement by Maj
Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff Of
the army, it is the purpose of Presi-
dent Taft to bring about the gradual
evacuation of San Antonio and the
Southwest by the troops rushed there
last March in connection with the
Mexican situation. This will be ac-
complished gradually until the divi-
sion is reduced to a mere nucleus.

rates with railroad rates, physical
valuation, operating methods, dupli-
cation OF directors in express and

permanency.

Caracas, Venezuela-The govern
ment has not yet been able to con-
firm that Cipriano Castro has landed
In Venezuela, or in neighboring ter
ritory. 1t is not considered possible
that the ex-President, even II he has
seeured a foothold in Venezuela, has
been able to get anv considerable
number of men behind him. Never
theless, troops have already been dis
patched to the Gulf of Maracaibo.
Castro is reported to have made his
landing on the Goaiira Peninsula,
Colombia, which forms the western
headland OF the Gulf of Maracaibo.

He originally sought this informa-

and in all probability would be able
