May ! mention a few facts concern

sentlal facts rs The basis for an opin-
ion. \ few years ago the governor of
Idaho was murdered. Three officials

court for a writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that they We're kidnapped
and thus Illegally held. The court
decided that even II 1t be true that
the arrest and deportation Of Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone was by fraud
and connivance TO which the govern
or Of Colorado was a party, as charg-
ed, this does not make out case of
violation OF the rights of the appel
lants under the constitution and the
laws of the United States thus legal
izlng kidnapping in that case.
At their trial they We're acquitted,

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 23-That
Uncle Sam means to be an honest
as well as efficient storekeeper Is
shown i'm the annual report of the
Panama Railroad, just published, in
the statement that automatic weigh
ing machines have been established
for the sale of supplies to Canal EN-
ployees.
The Panama Railroad has taken
over the task Of supplying the myriad
wants of the employees along the
Panama Canal. As the stock of the
railroad is owned by the United States
and the commissary department is In
charge of an army officer, Il is really
the government which is feeding and
clothing the thousands of canal work
ers. During the last year, II was
thought that through carelessness OF
the store clerks, extra weight were
not always given the customers. Con-
sequently, the automatic weighing ma
chimes were installed as a guarantee
of correctness.
The value OF goods sold to Canal
employees during the fiscal year 1909.
1910 was s3.9l3,519.14 AS Uncle Sam
runs no credit account on the Canal
he Is able to itemlze this cash re-
ceived. The sales included everything
conceivable in the way of foods and
supplies for the American family.
both necessities and Iuxuries.
Prices of foodstuffs in the Canal
Zone were never so low as during
the last year, and in almost every
instance especially in foodstuffs-they
were lower than the prices for the
same goods in the States. This re-
suit was accomplished insplte of the
steadily advancing market in the
states, pork was the only exception.
This meat rose so high that even
the commissary department had to
boost its prices.
Besides bringing to the Canal Zone
IN It's sim steamships, fresh Califor-
MIA fruits, game in season, and fresh
meats in cold storage, the Panama
Railroad supplied thousands of kitch-
ems from its owns bakeries, ice plants
and similar establishments. More than
4OOO,OOO loaVes of bread were pro-
duced in the banery, TO say nothing
of 5O4,OO3 rolls, and 13O.667 pounds of
cake. More than 10000 pies were pro-
duced during June to January, but,
owing to climatic conditions, the pie
making was finally abandoned.
Ice cream TO the value of $62, ,379. 90
was made during the year. The re-
port says:
There Is a great demand for this
product throughout the year. We use
only fresh cream and milk shipped
from the United States. Crushed
fruit and the highest class of flaw
oring are used and. judging from the
standpoint of sale, the product must
be satisfactory"
The flavors are changed from four
to six times a week. The ice cream
business is so good, in fact, that
special building has been erected for
its manufacture. The railroad COM
missary also roasts and grinds all
the coffee used on the Canal. and
manufactures ice.

Washington Jan. 23-Such erratic
results of field artillery practice have
been shown in the reports of COM
manding officers that General Wood,
chief of STAFF, u. S. A., has recent
ly ordered what is practically a re-

observations. So obviously incorrect

analysis Of the results by War De-
partment officials has been lmpos-

Thorough inspection of sights before
the beginning of target practice is
ordered, In order that defects In ad-
justment may be remedied before fir-
ing is begun. Practice with untrain-
ed enlisted men is forbidden. General
Wood directs that the inexperienced
members of a gun crew 10 be taught
