HOUSE INCREASES
 TIE NAVAL EXPENSE

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. 21- The house late today completed the naval appropriation bill and will pass il tomorrow. As agreed to when read for amendment today 1t provides for two new battleships, two fleet col Hers eight torpedo boat destroyers and four submarine torpedo boats.
 The two battleships are to be the largest ever constructed in this coun try and the authoration fixes the dis placement at 27,000 tons, but there is 8 Iiklihood they may s3 t3 30.CC0 tons. They will have twelve IA inch rifles. the heaviest battery ever plac ed on a ship. These guns win be arranged in four turrets. three guns in each. This arrangement s entirely new
 Numerous amendments were tackled on the measure while being con sidered for amendment, most of them being against the points Of order made by members or the naval ahairs committee in the interest of economy. When the reading of the bill was completed, both Mr Foss, of Illinois, chairman, and Mir. Padgett. of Tenn e~se. ranking democrat of the com mf5tee, briefly announced that by

with color he saw a mucly stream and beyond it a town. He was safe.
 Twenty years later the same ped sgogpe began the long fight, with the aid of his wealth and his polite ical influence. which terminated after twenty-five years more in the release from the Minnesota peni- tentiary Of Cole and Jim Younger. i. sentenced 10 life Imprisonment for "artieiafing in the now famous "Northfield Raid"
 And that raid was the second great occasion on which the Sen ''p'ental Bandit 'lcst his head and save his heart" The story Of the raid itself is pretty familiar. The Youngers. Cole. Jim, and Bob. the lanes boys. Jesse and Frank. and three lesser bandits entered the little town of Northfield one after noon in September. 1876, and ent- tered the bank The James and P1h Yonnger entered the bank while Cole Younger ana Caldwell stood guard outsiSe. Jim Younger and the other bandit, Pitts. guarded bridee over which the retreat had 70 te made. For the first and last tire Jesse James' calculations went wrong, principally beoause he was drunk. The cashier, Heywood. showed fight and the citizens got an alarm. Instead of running for shelter they ran for weapons. Cole Youn-er sounded the retreat, but too late. A r7nning fight in the streets followed the killing Of Hey wood by Jesse James. Miller was fined, Jim To1neer shot once. and Rob Younger twice. The wounded were tied into their saddles, and. the retreat began under fire and without booty

Here the pursuit became hot, and it ap- neared lifaly that capture would re- sult. Fob Younser's wounds were suppurating and there was little chance fer his survival In this de. lemma Jesse James. the bandit, the hesrtless disciple of QauEtren turned to Cole Younger
 "Bob's going to die; ne cant get well. If We try to take him along we'll get c'ught. If we help him out of his misery and go on we'll ge, away" he told his fellow leader. ! Ycungsr looked at him soldly.

This was the same man who ran the blood of the innDcents hub deep in Lawrence. Kan, we'll Quantrell In his band were a few men as desperate as ever pulled a trigger. But there were more of another stripe, mere boys inflamrd by the wrongs of border conflict Of these were the Younger. Cole, t6 years old, and Jim, three years his junior
 They hadn't forgotten the school master. They liked him and wanted to aid him, bCt under a master like Quantrell this was desperate work. The Youngers pleaded with their chief who had the grace to say that he would consider the case till morning He had been told that Elkins had acted like a union spy and felt it his business to take no chances. The Youngers knew their leader. they knew that he killed for the sheer joy of blood. and they felt that their pedagogue's chances of seeing the morning sun were slender
 But that night Quartren ordered a march. He placed the Youngers in charge of the prisoner and Started on. During the march the captors and their man managed to get in the rear Of the cavalcade as i' rode through the shiyering woods and yawning clefts.

look upon blood with smiling eyes. But he is a sentimentalist. He was always one.
 And that's the beginning of the story-cole Younger. a marauder with a heart.
 Not so bloomin long ago it was the usual thing to find the rising generation of males hidden in hay lofts reading with avid eyes The James and Younger Boys in Mis- souri, even The Raid of North field and What Came After" And the reading of these florid chroni- cies was not. as one might believe. confined to the extremely young. so that the story of Younger. the Bandit, need not be told. save in spots But who ever heard of Cole Younger, poet; Cole Younger life saver. or devoted brother2 Yet there is such a story, woven in fine threads in the coarse fabric of his life.
 It was late summer of 1860 that
 Steve" Elkius. a husky young Mis- .sourian, left the somewhat primitive state university at Columbia to seek his fortune He must have thought for time that he had found it in Jackson county. Missouri, where he became a school teacher to the rude sons and daughters of the rudei civilization which adorned the sec ton at that time Among the pu. pils in his school were the tall sons of one of the community, the'I names. Coleman and James Younger On their mothers side they were re lated to Lighthouse Harry" Lee, a signer of the declaration of inde pendence. The blood that won tho west was in their veins EIkin' taught the moys the elernenta branches, but they left school witl the outbreak of the border warfar, that sprang up in the van of tho civil war and lasted until that con
 lict had echoed into memory.

When stephen B Elkins. United States senator. died in Washington he recalled Cole Younger, bandit once, fifty years earlier. the sentl- aental marsuder had saved the fu- ture statesmans life. All of which may be merely another bit of proof of the topsy-turvydom of fate. Steve" Elkins and his life didn't amount to much then, but. even SO, Cole Younger thought it worth pre- serving and he went out of his way and imperiiIed himself to save 1t. And. years sfterward .the ituation came near being precisely reversed Younger was in prison for life and Elkins worked for a quarter century to accomplish his release. Nes. all scores were paid
 But to those who know Cole Younger and his story the incident having to do with the saving of Eikins life must recall the mach stranger tale of The Sentimental Bandit" At the heart of things with all the glamour and bravado men impute to outlawry there isn't much sentiment in the mental anat- emy of the bank robber and road agent But one mustn't forget Cole Younger
 He saved an ordinary young peda- gogue's life at the risk of his OWE because that young man had once taught his arithmetic.
 He refused to desert a wounded brother. even though the gang advised and threatened. and served twenty-five years in prison for this bit of maWkishness.
 He wrote a yearning for home poem in prison.

MAINE STILL FOR PROHIBITION

ALTHOUGH somewhat belated the in
formation that the advocates of con-
stitutional prohibition in Maine were
victorious gives none the less pleasure
and encouragement To those who are
fighting the saloons and the breweries
in Michigan and elsewhere throughout
the United States. 1t comes from the
Office OF the secretary OF state OF Maine
that the majority against the saloons
will not be less than 700. More money
was spent in Maine by the liquor in
terests of this country for the privilege
of debauching that state then was ever
spent i'm any state in the union TO con-
troll the votes of men. A majority OF
700 may not seem large TO those who
survey its proportion from a distance
but when il is realized that this major
ily was gained against the concentrated
efforts of the dIstilleries and breweries
and saloons and houses of prostitution
OF thirty or forty states all struggling
To make sure their own advancement
and existence il stands as splendid
tribute To the manhood and woman
hood OF Maine. When compared
with the expectation of the liquor
forces 700 majority against the saloon
and the brewery was most notable
and satisfactory victory.
