passed for the most part into tns
hands of great corporations and those
who are speculating on the increas-
ing scarcity.
President Taft is again referred
to, the report quoting from his
speech Of February 26, 1911, in
which he said: "By giving our peo-
pie access to Canadian forests We
shall reduce the consumption OF our
own, which in the hands of COM
parative few owners now have a
value that requires the enlargement
of our available timber resources.
Sewing machines, the report ayers,
are sold abroad by American manu-
facturers cheaper than at home, and
should not be protected.
The manufacturers would have by
the proposed bill the additional ad-
vantages of free lumber.
Salt, also included IN the free list,
the report urges, should be free from
artificial enhancement in price, the
domestic supply being dependent up
on a limited number Of natural de-
posts controlled by concentrated IN
terests.

MIGHTY SUBMARINE
SHE IS 4 yERITABLE UNDER WA.
TER DREADNAUGHT.
Carries Eydropianes, Wheels and
Heavy Rudder as a Safety Device.
May Cross the Atlantic Ocean.

The largest and most formidable
submarine ever constructed for the
United States government will be Civ
en- trial trip soon. If the craft
proves a success it will have large
! bearing on the future Of the navy,
will tend to increase the Importance
of surface war vessels, and at the
same time to lessen the Importance
of the great battleship. The expert
ment will be watched with the keen
est interest in navy circles. 1t is
the intention to cruise to New York
with the boat on her trial trip and
then to Bridgeport. Later is it ex-
peeted the strange craft will be sent
across the Atlantic.
Among the features of the new sub
marine are hydroplanes. These cor
respond to the planes Of an aeroplane
and are designed for the purpose Of
steadying the boat and holding it
even when under water. Another fea-
ture is the drop keel, which weighs
several tons, and can be released in
case of an accident, thus adding to
the buoyancy of the vessel. On the
bottom of the boat are wheels calcu-
lated to protect the bottom when the
vessel drops down to the bed Of the
ocean.
Various other features are impor-
tant in the construction of this type
Of submarine. Enough storage air
is provided for forty eight hours un-
der water. The vessel is provided
with powerful gasoline engines,
which propel her when running at
the surface. But under the water
the power is furnished by storage
Batteries.
It's length is 161 feet and its dis
placement about 535 tons. The Gov
ernment contracts calls for IA knots
speed, but it is expected to make Is.
This is when the submarine Is tray
cling on the surface. The submerged
speed called for by the contract Is
nine and half knots.
It is designed to travel alone. The
armament consists Of six torpedo
tubes and room aboard Is provided
for ten torpedoes. The crew will con-
sist of about % members. Lieut..
Kenneth Whiting of the navy is now
! in command.
If the Seal bears out all the repre-
sentations made concerning it, it is
easy to see that naval warfare will
be to large extent revolutionized.

A BRAVE FIGHT
A Young Honan's Love is Trying 10
Batter Down Asylum Walls
VICTIM OF DARK PLOT
His Pretty Sweetheart Declares His
Incarceration in A1adhouse Is the
Work of His Business Enemies
Girl Battling Alone to Get Out
and Free.

Separated by the walls Of an in
sane asylum, two sweethearts are
fighting a pathetic, yet determined
battle of love at Poughkeepsie, N.
Y. The girl, Miss Carrie E. Billmaa,
of Brookline, Mass, is fighting from
the outside. The man, Frederick W.
Savage, an inventor, Of Boston, is
fighting from within. He is confined
in the Hudson River State hospital.
Miss Billman declares that he is be-
ing kept there through powerful f.
nancial interests in Boston, which
want him out Of the way.
The plucky girl is conducting her
battle single-handed. Up to a week
ago, she says, Mr. savage's parents
were with her, but now they have
become convinced, through covert
Misrepresentation that she Is en-
ployed by the people who want Say
age held in the asylum and Is really
working to keep him there.
Miss Billman and Mr.. Savage met
for the first time q year ago at a
gathering in Boston. A few months
ago they became engaged. On Jan.
21 Mr.. Savage was taken into Gus
tody in his Office and after being ex-
amined by two physicians, was COM
-,itted to the Boston State lospi-
tai. But he was a native OF Race
Vile, N. Y, and was transferred to
the Poughkeepsie institution.
Two weeks ago Miss Billman arriY-
ed in Poughkeepsie and engaged Al
torney George Wood to conduct her
case. She visited her fance in the
hospital, and together they planned
the struggle for his release.
But a week ago Miss Billman, on
arriving at the hospital, was inform.
ed that she could not see her fance
because his parents had objected. Sne
says she has learend that they re-
ceived information from some IN
known source to the effect that she
was incincere in her efforts to free
the man she loves.
Nevertheless she is going right
ahead. Judge Hasbrouk, in the
County court, has isued a writ OF
habeas corpus directing Dr.. Pilgrim,
superintendent of the hospital, to
produce Mr.. Savage in court on Apri:
10. Miss Billman says that Mr.. Saw
age for good many years did busi-
ness with rubber manufacturing
concern in Boston, which finally OBJ
tanned control of his patents for max
ing rubber boots. They broke of
their business relations, she says, and
then the compan.- wished to get Say
age out. Of the way.

A PAIR OF FOOLS
BOY AND GIRL LOCKED UP IN
THE COLUMBIA JAIL.
Girl Attempts to Jump from Window
Rather than Return Home or Tes-
tify Against Boy.

The State says that a pretty girl,
Miss Lillian Reed, who says she is
only few months past 13 years old
and a youth of II, both from Angus
ia, are held in the Richland county
Jail. It seems that the young man,
whose name is R. Fl. Watson, has
been In Columbia for several days.
He and the girl were registered at a
boarding house as Mr.. and Mrs. Wau-
son.
Everything went well for the cou-
pie until the landlady was told of the
true state Of affairs. She telephoned
the girls mother. In the meantime
friends Of the the pair clipped them
off," They promptly moved. to an
other boarding house. Chief of Po.
lice Cathcart was wired to arrest
them. This was done on Main street,
the two young persons going to head
quarters with Detective Richardson
without any trouble.
Watson endeavored to get notary
public of Columbia to marry them
and ne consented to do so. While
he went after Miss Reed the officer
appeared on the scene and nabbed
the couple on their way to the not
ary's Office.
C. c. Reed the father Of the young
girl, came to Columbia and promptly
went to police headquarters, where
he secured his daughters release.
The young man was detained and
turned over to Magistrate Fowles, be-
ing indicted under the charge of car
rying e minor from her parents.
Sobbing as though her heart would
break, Lillian Reed, said to be a
mere child in age, although she looks
much older, stated frankly to Magis-
trate Fow!es that she would not re-
turn to her home with her, father
and she would not appear as a wit
ness for the prosecution, should the
case be brought to trial.
In the midst of the excitement she
dashed for the window and would
have jumped to the. ground below,
but was prevented from accomplish
ing this purpose. She tried to break
away a second time and throw bsr-
self out Of the window.
Miss Reed was required to q. .
bond to appear as a witness, and
not being able to, do so was sent to
jail with Watson. In Augusta Wat
son worked as a soda dispenser. The
girl said that Watson bought tick
ct and sent it to her to come to
Columbia, while it is stated that
Watson said Miss Reed followed him
to Columbia.
Wednesday night they both spS Mt
In the Richland county Jail, and thel =
they will stay until some satisfactory
settlement can be made. G. C. Reed,
the girls father, went to Augusta,
Wednesday night.

INVADE MEXICO
FOR US TO DO so MIGHT BRNt
on MANY COMPLICATIONS.
Congress Realizes That the Situation
is Very Complex, and Are Work
ing With President Taft.

can invasion Of Mexico designed
for q limited and temporary purpose
might be like touching match to a
tinder house
Senator Bacon Of Georgia, rank
ing minority member Of the senate
committee on foreign relations, Wed
nesday thus epitomized the senti-
ment of leaders Of both parties in
the two branches of congress.
While recognizing the gravity Of
the situation in Mexico, congress is
satisfied that the president is doing
everything that can be done under
the circumstances, and nowhere is
there seen the slightest disposition
to embarrass him or his programme.
It was learned at the close Of
conference at the White House We'd
nesday, at which were Senator Gull
lom, chairman Of the senate CON-
mittee on foreign relations, and Rep
resentatiTe Sulzer, chairman OF the
house committee on foreign affairs,
that President Taft for the present
at least does not contemplate send
ing to congress special message
dealing with Mexican affairs. The
president, however, is keeping the
leaders. in both parties in congress
thoroughly acquainted with develop
ments, with the result that the clos
est cooperation exists between the
capitol and the White House.
Senator Bacon, while admitting
the situation was complex, was en-
phatic in declaring that the time
for intervention not only had not ar
rived but that up to the present
nothing of serious enough import
ance had occurred to warrant consid-
Grafton of the subject.
Our troops should go into Mex
ican territory only with the direc-
ton Of congress-" he said. ARMED
invasion would be an act Of war and
congress alone has power to declare
war. I am entirely confident that
the president will not order an ir-
vasion except under direction Of con-
gress-
81 regard the situation as most
delicate and embarrassing because Of
the danger of becoming involved in
a deplorable conflict with the people
of another country and also be-
cause of the importance of protect
ing our people from such occurrences
as those at Aqua Prieta.
"Under existing and threatened
conditions very great caution is nee
essary to prevent embroiling this
government in a conflict with the
Mexican people. I do not think that
anything less than the mast extreme
necessity would justify an invasion.
The consequences would be far-reach-
ing in many respects and the end no
one could foresee."
Positive assurances that the Mex
lean government will adopt a def
mite, restrictive policy along the bor-
der and news from Douglas that the
rebel forces have evacuated Aqua
Prieta did much to relieve the high
tension under which President Taft
and members of his official family
have labored. The assurances from
Mexico followed demands Of the
border towns must be stopped.
