CITE THE HAGUE RULE
Opponents of Panama Arma-
ment Go Into Detail In
Statement.

BOSTON, Jan. l6-The statement is
sued here by former Secretary of State
Richard Olney and other prominent
Americans. telling why the Panama Ca
nal should not he fortified, was discussed
in detail here today.
The first reason given for not fortify-
ing the canal is that, according to an
agreement signed by The Hague confer
ence in 1907. unfortified coasts cannot be
bumbarded.
Among other reasons given are:
Recause the original intention of our
Government, as distinctly expressed in
l9CS, and previously. was 10 prohibit for
tifications on the canal
Because. though the Suez Canal was
built with English money, England
agreed to its naturalization. The Straits
OF Magellan are also neutralized, and
the irlterparliamentary union in 1910 de-
clared in favor of the naturalization Of
all interoceanic, waterways.
Because the United States, in ali its
history, has never been attacked, and
began every foreign war it ever had,
and is too important q customer for any
great nation at this late day to wantonly
attack.
Because, with the experience Of nearly
a century's peace With England, in
sured by our undefended Canadian bor
der line, until we have asked for COM
plete arbitration treaties with all posi-
BILE future enemies and have been re-
fused. we should be insincere in increas-
ing our war measures

BACHELOR JUR|ST
MARITAL EXPERT
Better Qualified to Unravel
Matrimonial Tangles Than
Married One.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Judge Jacob H.
Hopkins, candidate for presiding mag
istrate of the court Of domestic rela-
tions, insists that as a bachelor he is
better qualified to decide ticklish mat
rimonial questions than a mere mar
ried jurist.
Here are some OF the questions Judge
Hopkins says he wants to answer on
the bench:
Has a woman a right to rife her
husbands pockets while he sleeps?"
How often may husband visit his
club?"
How much pocket money ought the
wife of an average man haveT'
Suppose the wife goes to clubs and
stays out nights?'
Must a woman pay her husbands s
bills?'
Can a man beat his wife physically
as well as financially"
My fitness" said Judge Hopkins, ito
answer such questions is obvious. A
man once married is supposed by law
to be acquainted with only one woman.
his wife. We bachelors are supposed
to have a wider circle of female friends
and be better acquainted with their
good points and their bad. We have
not such an intense point OF view about
one particular angle of domestic rela-
tions. We are broadminded, you see.
My general rule for deciding marital
difficulties is to make the parties set
tie their own fights,' he said. "Glve
them time and hold the possible conse-
quences OF the law over them and they
will invariably make things up. Send
them home and let them report back
to the judge in a week, after talking
it over. Most of them will come back,
billing and cooling. and ask that the
case be dropped"

WOMEN NEAR DEATH
IN GAS EXPLOSION
Four Persons Killed Outright
In Hotel, Catastrophe
In Nebraska.

NIOBRARA, Neb., JsA. 16.-It Is
feared that the list of dead in the gas
explosion which yesterday wrecked and
burned a three-story frame hotel in this
city, will be swelled today by the deaths
of one or more of the persons seriously
injured in the explosion.
Three men and. one woman were killed
outright and it is thought probable that
the wives OF two of the men killed will
also die from the effects of their in
juries.
The force of the explosion was suf-
ficient to blow several persons out of
reach Of the flames which Immediately
followed the first outbreak. 1t is thought
that a leak in the gas plant in the Gel
lar of the hotel was the cause of the
explosion.

VALLEY CITY NORMAL

OF all phases OF literature, fiction IS
undoubtedly the most popular and for
this reason, among others. careful
study Of the novel is included In the
literature course at the Valley city
State Normal school. It liz safe to
say that novels and short stories have
wider appeal to every class of read
er than have all the other literary
products combined Fiction il gem
orally read primarily for amusement,
and the fact of its serious value liz
rarely taken into account. Yet the
influence it Yields, particularly over
growing minds, is almost tncalculable
Manners ideals, and character all are
profoundly Influenced by the stories
young people assimilate in their eager
search after a broad knowledge of
life. The youthful mind unconscious
ly moulds Itself upon the characters
It lives with and admirers in the
dream world Of the imagination. When
these characters are inherently bad or
shallow or distorted, their effect is
inevitably pernicious. On the other
hand, the nobility and aspirations of
well portrayed personalities are sure
to be reflected In the lives of those
who make their acquaintance In the
pages Of great fiction. The novel as
prolific source of information has
long been recognized: the facts of his
tory, biography, science, geography,
and all other general knowledge are
often conveyed more directly through
the channel Of fiction than by any
human means. Moreover this branch
OF literature serves as an exhaustless
handbook of human nature. The
proper study OF mankind is man, and
nowhere outside OF daily intercourse
with humanity itself is this subject
so thoroughly investigated as 1t is in
the story and the play. The aim OF
the study of fiction in the state nor
NAL school is to point out the quail
tiles that distinguish great and good
novels and short stories from the vast
horde of cheap And trashy fiction
which the press has been porting forth
In unlimited quantities for SO many
years. Young people will deyour i'm
aginative writing more eagerly and
more habituaIly than they will read In
any other literary field. Teachers will
find more practical use for the proper
type of fiction In their work than for
almost any other kind of literature:
the great teachers have always taught
in parallels.

The class in elementary steam en-

traction engine during the past week.
They are getting the introduction to
steam engines first handed by going
out In the field and using the engine
as 1t is actually used. This Is great
advantage as IT does away with ex-
plantations and gives the student a
much better idea OF the different parts
Of the engine.
A half dozen small new gasoline en-
gines are being set up in the gas lab
oratory In addition to the eight or nine
old engines. These engines were pre-
scented by various manufacturers
throughout the country to be used for
experimental work during the fall and
winter terms. Another piece Of new
apparatus is movable one kilowatt
dynamo and switchboard. They are
on wheels in order that they may be

their power. In addition TO these en-
gines there are two traction engines In
the laboratory and room is being made
to install the third, which Is a gaso-
