SATURDAY EVENING. ApRTLs
AS HAD been anticipated. Senate

AS HAD been anticipated, Senator
Thomas S. Martin. OF Virginia, was
Yesterday afternoon selected rs Inc
democratic leader IN he United States
Senate. There was but feeble oppo-
sit;oD on the part Of some members OF
the marty notwithstanding the fact that
William Jennings Bryan announced
his opposition to Mr.. Martin. The
Virginia senior senator has long been
IN active and useful member OF The
highest branch of Congress, and the
action Of his colleagues Yesterday was
lust recognition Of his abilities, aud
will doubtless cause frost IN ths camp
of his enemies in the Old Dominion
who are endeayoring to minimize hum.
The opposition TO Mr.. Martin has never
been regarded rs serious. The move
ment was started months ago, put
many voters realized the promoters
were setting on china egg. A few
DAVIS ago Mr.. Martins opponents
brought to the birth rag baby IN the

The Trial OF the Camorr1sts.

Vitsrbo, Italy, April S.--Although
the camorrists' trial sill probably drag
on for months, there is already every
indication that it will end in farcical
verdicts
Court experts who have followed
the proceedings expressed the opinion
today that there will not be more than
three convictions and that these will
be for short terms. In this event, the
guilty ones will be Immediately re-
leased, as the Imprisonment they
underwent awaiting trial would un-
doubtedly amount TO more than the
terms OF their sentences.
The opinion prevails in many minds
that, aside from Judge Bianchi, none
OF those connected with the prosecution
has the requisite nerve to deal win
the revengeful camorrlsts.
The real basis, however, for the
belief that the prisoners will escape
lightly is the Influence either Of the
camorris:s themselves or OF Their
friends in governmental affairs. Many
Ct those in high places are believed 70
he connected, directly or indirectly,

tunity TO observe Holy Week. They

he had virtually n support, mas with

Senator Martin was warmly congrat-
nated upon his success, and Senator
ShiYely, who is i'll, was unanimously

LEPER SUSPECT NEARABOUTS.
John r. Early Is Believed to Be
Hiding in Some Inland En-
pire Town.

Washington.5Som in eastern
Washington, in one of the small towns
near Spokane, John R. Early, the sus-
pected leper, whose case has attracted
world wide attention, is believed to be
in hiding. The exact whereabouts of
the man has been kept secret until
he can be examined by several physi-
clans who do not know anything of
his case and the truth of the report
that he has leprosy is established.
His whereabouts has become known
through application to the commissioner
of pensions for restoration to the pen
sion rolls, thus reviving one of the
most interesting cases with which the
government has ever had to deal.
Early was placed under arrest here
in Washington two years ago and de
clared to be suffering from leprosy. HI
was isolated for many months from the
world and his family, but; being a vet
eran of the Spanish-American war, h
was granted a pension of $72 a mont
for total disability.
In his application for reinstatement
Early does not contend that he ha
leprosy, but says that his health is gen
orally bad. In order finally to deter
mine the case Commissioner Davenpor
has decided to have him examined GU
, in Washington state by physicians VIII
; know nothing of the Early case and ar
ignorant of the identity of the perso
, whom they are examining. If they sa
3 he has leprosy the man will again
a separated from the world and restore
to the pension rolls.

SIX MINERS KILLED AT BUTTE.
Were Riding in Cage From 1000 Level
to Surface

Butte, Mont.-Caught in a vortex of
whirling steel machine drills in mine
cage while being hoisted to the surface,
6 miners met instant death in the shaft
of the Black Rock mine of the Butte
Superior company.
In their anxiety to reach the surface
the workmen jumped on the cage upon
which dull steel was being hoisted to
the surface. 1t is presumed that their
crowding pushed the steel shafts from
the box in which they were held, and
they caught in the wall plates on the
side, the ends whirring with terrific
force among the men on the cage, clear
ing the deck of the miners, fairly mine
ing their bodies as the steel bounded
back and forth, and sweeping them into
the stump, 400 feet below. Charles
Green, station tender, finally was hurled
from the upper deck of the cage to the
lower level by the impact when the
brakes were applied and was decapitat
ed, as were all the other miners with the
exception of Lee, whose head was mash
ed to a pulp.
The dead:
Charles L. Green, 2s years old, mar
ried.
Leo Chevrier, 81 years, unmarried.
Patrick o Neil, 81, unmarried.
Dan Sheehan, 40, unmarried.
James Lee, "a, unmarried.
Daniel Shea, SO, unmarried.
Thomas Denihay, station tender, ad
vised the miners not to board the Gag
while steel was being hoisted, as tn
act was in violation of rules, but the.
passed by him, as they were anxious t.
reach the surface before "tally."

contained high percentage. This, of
course, affects the habits of fish, as
a fish cannot live where there is a
so of the trout. Shallow lakes are
usually warm, and therefore contain
much plant life, and so undergo very
marked changes with respect to the oxy
gen content. A shallow lake is poor
trout lake. Bass are not affected by
the change of oxygen, hence lake may
be poor for trout but good for bass.
GA study of the Plankton will indi-
cate the quantity of fish food. The re-
lationship between trout and the
microscopic animals in the lake is closer
than many think. The larger fish lives
on the smaller fish. These, in turn,
thrive on crayfish, bugs and minnows,
and these on the small minute animals,
such as we catch in our Plankton net.
Abundance of Plankton usually indicate
abundance of food for the larger fish.
'There exists an interdependence be-
tween the animals living in a given
lake, a condition which is seldom given
its proper Importance. 1t is a condi
ton of balance between food supply
and fish, between one fish and another
between the animal and it's environ
ment. If one condition of the animal Is
environment is changed or a new con
dition is added, the balance is tempo
rarily destroyed. This may mean that
a species of fish might be exterminated
before the balance is restored. For in
stance, Twin lake used to be a trou
lake, and now the trout are replaced
by perch. 1t never will be trout lax
again, for when once the animal lose
its grip on certain conditions, natur
never restores that same species to it
original position.
investigations alone will tell wha
, the actual conditions are. When we tr.
to improve the conditions we sometime
, spoil the whole thing. Grave mistake
, can be made when we stock certai
, waters with fish without knowing a.
/ the conditions. The German carp, wit
no natural enemies, portends to destro
2 much good fishing. The carp was tn
$ factor that destroyed the balance flo
, the trout. The trout could not produc
D spawn enough to feed the carp and sti
Q maintain itself. So, if the investig;
I tions show water good for trout, kee
it trout lake, or for bass, keep it
bass lake. There are all kinds of col
ditions in the Inland Empire, and thel
> is little use in trying to have all kline
of fishing in the same lake."

Laughs for 10 Hours.

San Bernardino, Cal.-William Ben
son started laughing when some friends
played joke on him. He laughed all
night, when physicians called in by rel
atives to save his life succeeded in
quieting him.
Benson, who has been known through
out this section as Laughing Bill, -
went out hunting. For hours he shot
at doves without bringing down one,
and then learned that his friends had
taken all the shot out of his shells. He
roared with laughter at the joke on
himself, and could not stop. All night
his sides shook and tears rolled down
his face.
