Rev. Long and Rev. Thompson,

from drowning Monday. Desiring to
visit the Kennison and Morton ranch
they attempted to ford the Bruneau
river near McVane's place and had
nearly reached the farther shore
when Brown Jug baked. To al
lay suspicion it might be well to ex-
plain that Brown jug is the name
of the minister's horse. The swift
current overturned the buggy, throw
ing both occupants into the water,
which even at the ford is now more
than four feet deep. With difficulty
the men escaped, one to the north

LORIMER SPEAKS
IN OWN DEFENSE
TelIsSenate He Is Not Guilty of Bri,
bery-Greeted by Big
Crowd.

Washington. = Before vast as
semblage Of spectators and practi-
cally full membership of the senate,
William Lorimer, senator from Illinois,
denied that he had either purchased or
authorized the purchase Of votes in the
Illinois legislature that he might gain
seat in the United States senate.
Throughout Lorimer's final exposi-
ton OF his defense, he strove to make
1t plain that the mysterious Demo
cratic votes which enabled him to get
his senatorial seat were given him as
the gifts of lifelong friendship.
Lorimer then stated that an effort
had been made to cover the case with
cloud of suspicion, and to make it ap-
pear that some man Of great ability
had prepared plan to organize the
legislature of Illinois for the purpose Of
defeating Hopkins and electing some
one else United States senator.
In considering the second question In
his text, Lorimer engaged in a short
tilt with Senator Crawford, who dis
puted his course. The tilt enabled
Lor1mer to score a point
Senator Lorimer closed his speech
with an tmpassioned appeal.
mo man has ever dared to charge
that l was even remotely guilty of
briber yor corrupt practices / never
did, not only in this nor in any other
election, use one dollar or allow the
use of one dollar, or have the remotest
idea of the use of one dollar-the cor,
rupt use of It.

SENATE RAT|F|ES
NEW JAP TREATY
Western Senators Reluctantly
Vote for II.
IS DISCUSSED TWO HOURS
Only Basis for Believing That Emmi-
grafton Is Safeguarded Is Person
al Statement of Baron Uchida
for His Government.

Washington. = The new United
States-Japan treaty of trade and
navigation was ratified after a two
hour executive session of the senate,
on the understanding that Japan will
rot impose coolie labor on the United
States.
The objection to the convention has
consistently been that it did not throw
sufficient safeguards around the immi-
States. Opposition was made to it
by the people of California, and by
their state legislature and by the peo-
pie of the Pacific states generally.
The western senators, with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of Senators Perkins
and Flint, who are from California,
were in favor of going slow until a
full explanation should have been
made by administration officials and
the temper Of the people of the west
had been fully ascertained.
President Taft personally pushed
the ratification of the treaty by his
assurances to the governor Of Cali
fornia that the question Of immigra-
son was effectively covered by the
Japanese declaration, which appears
shove and which has been declared
by other authorities to be inefficient.
The treaty was taken up for the
sa1rd time in the senate and after two
sours' discussion was ratified.
The western senators who had con
sinuously opposed the treaty, reluct-
antly voted for it, it is understood
while not surrendering any of their
opinions that grave consequences
might ensue from this peculiar docu-
ment.
Inc sole Dasis for the belief that
immigration is safeguarded is the fol
lowing personal statement for his gov.
eminent of Baron Uchida:
In proceeding this day to the sig
nature of the treaty of commerce and
navigation between Japan and the
United States, the undersigned Japan
csc ambassador in Washington duly
authorized by his government, has
the honor to declare that the Imperial
Japanese government are fully pre-.
pared to maintain with equal effec.
tiVeness the limitation and control
which they have for the past three
exercised in regulation of the emigra.
ton Of laborers to the United States
(Signed) ''Y. UCHIDA.
FEB. 81, 1911"
This was deemed sufficient certain.
~ by the president and the state de-
partment and the president was &C
tive in his efforts to impress the Cali
fornia legislature with his view OF
the treaty's efficiency and sufficiency
The fact that the treaty has been
ratified has not charged the popular
opinion that the question of immigra-
ton should have been written fhtG
the treaty itself.
Although the text of the treaty has
been published the Injunction Of Sc
crecy has not been removed and SO
far as the senate is considered it con
tinues as a confidential document

KNOWN DEAD I'M MINE
DISASTER NUMBER IS
Rescuers at Belmont Property Near
Tonopah, New, Recover That Many
Bodies From Shaft

7onopah. New. = The remains
OF the last four of fifteen vic
tins who lost their lives in the fire
in the Belmont mine were brought
out through a new shaft and were
most frightfully mutilated. They were
taken from the bottom Of the mine
which is 1,196 feet deep.
1t is believed that there are from
four to eight bodies still in the mine
The fire, which began burning
Thursday morning on the 1,166 foot
level, is out and has done little dam
age to the mine.
Six Americans are among the dead,
the rest being principally Slavonians.
Owing to the absence Of data of
the exact number of men who en-
tered the mine, it is impossible to say
how many remain in the workings,
but these are believed to be Slavo-
mans.
State Mine Inspector Ed. Ryan is on
the ground conducting an investiga-
ton.
All night rescuers labored to drive
back the sitting fumes. After they
had come within 300 feet Of the fire
the workers were forced back. Three
Of them, A. D. Cox, w. J. Pike and
William Packard, were overcome by
gas and were taken to the hospital
for treatment.

Perpetu5I Motion

As the term is generally under
stood, perpetual motion is the motion
of an engine which, without any sup
port CT power from without, can not
only maintain its own motion for
ever, but can also be applied to drive
machinery and therefore do external
work. In other words. it means a
device for creating power or energy
without corresponding expenditure.
This is absolutely impossible, no mat
ter what physical forces be employed.
The quantity of force In existence be-
ing fixed, no new stock can be Great
ed, and therefore, a seIf-moving ma
chine is out of the question The
modern physical axiom, the conserva-
ton of energy, founded on experiment
tai bases as certain as those which
convince US of the truth of the laws
OF motion, may be expressed in the
negative thus: Perpetual motion is
impossible

RAILROADS LOSE
BIG RATE CASES
interstate Commerce Board We
toes an Advance.
VICTORY FOR THE SHIPPERS
Lines Are Ordered TO Reduce First
Glass Charges While Tariffs OF
Second Grade Must Be
Reduced.

Washington.-The interstate com
merce commission decides against the
railroads in both the eastern" and
western" rate cases. The decision,
eagerly awaited by the roads and
shippers alike, was handed down by
the commission and is q victory for
the shippers.
The railroads are prohibited from
advancing frst-class rates and they are
ordered to reduce second-class rates.
The commission shows that at the
moment when the railroads were argu-
ing their justification for a raise they
were eminently prosperous. The dec1-
sions were by unanimous vote of the
commission.
The report, written by Commission
er Franklin K. Lane, is an elaborate,
optimistic review of the American
railway situation.
Despite what the railroad reports
say of the considerable increase in
wages and the increase in the cost
Of fuel, the last six months of the year
1910, in which the new wage schedules
were in effect, the report shows for
the carriers the largest operating In
come they have ever enjoyed.
The report opens with a considera-
ton of the effect railroad rate regula-
ton has had upon the revenues of the
carriers, In which it is shown that, by
reason of the law and it's enforcement,
the railroads have been protected
against each other. AS a result the
revenues of the carriers have in
creased under regulation and their
dividends and their surplus have also
increased as in no other period OF
their history. In the past ten years
the railroads of the United States have
borrowed over four and one-half bill
lion dollars, or twice the amount of the
national debt at the close of the Civil
war.
This is evidence of the faith the pub
lie has in these properties. The rate
Of dividends and the total amount has
increased more rapidly than the addi-
tional mileage built. The western
roads have increased their surplus
over 100 per cent. in ten years.
Comment is made upon the fact that
the railroads are now seeking to in
crease rates which were voluntarily
made by them under competitive con,
ditions and which they admit could not
be increased under such conditions
The carriers are seeking to gain the
benefits of protective legislation and at
the same time asking for a free hand
and criticiZing the law for the re
straints which it casts upon them. 1t
is found that the carriers do not need
larger revenue for purposes of main.
tanning their credit or insuring them
against temporary adversely.
The report closes with these words
I'VE shall ask the carriers to with
draw the proposed tariffs and, if such
action is not taken, the commission
will further suspend these rates and
make an order directing the mainte
nance of present rates for a period oil
two years"

Cooking BY Electricity.

The full benefit of hydro-electric
energy will not be received until it is
rendered capable of superseding coal
and wood fuel as a cooking and heat
ing medium. Electric ovens have long
been available, but their use has not
spread very rapidly, probably because
Of the cost, or the difficulty of procur-
ing the requisite current In the little
Swiss town of Kerns, where electric
power is cheap, the electric baking
oven has just been established in a
satisfactory manner In a furnace
less than eight feet long, 100 pounds
of bread, in loaves of one and three
pounds each can be baked at one
time aid eight bakings can be made
in II hours. The cost of the heating
is little more than one cent and
three-quarters a pound of bread.

AGREE ON TWO DREADNOUGHTs
Navy Is to Be Augmented by Power
full War Graft,

Washington.-Two Of the most pow
erful battleships ever conceived in the
mind Of man will be added to the
United States navy. The naval appro-
priation bill as agreed to provides for
the construction of the two battle
ships, two feet Golfers, eight torpedo
boat destroyers and four submarine
torpedo-boats.
The big sea fighters will cost s1O,-
100000 each and will bring the naval
strength O. the United States a close
second to Great Britain so far as de-
structive power is concerned When
the new ships are completed it will
give the United States % battleships
against the 50 Of the British navy,
which are for the most part Of less
modern design and therefore inferior
in fighting operations
Japan and Russia are at present to
duplicate the ships authorized by the
louise.

URGES REFORMS IN LAW.
Roosevelt Lauds Initiative, Referen.
DUN, Recall and Vote for Senators.

Chicago An immense audi
ence greeted ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt when he was introduced as
our foremost citizen" at the Auditor
ium theater, and the welcome given
him was probably as warm as he ever
before received.
After which, under the auspices of
the Union League club, he spoke on
"NatiOnalism and Democracy"
The colonel put his seal Of ap-
prevail upon the initiative and refer
endum, as well as upon the principle
of recall, and declared himself en-
phatically in favor of a change in the
constitution which will permit the
election of senators by popular vote.
With regard to the three principles
mentioned, he averred that opponents
of the initiative, referendum and re-
call are wrong and that he believed
if the people of the United States
would make a study Of those prin-
ciples in politics he had no doubt but
that they would become laws in every
state in the Union.

FIGHT ON FLOOR OF HOUSE.
Wickersham and MondeII Come to
Blows.

Washington. = Another bloodless
battle was fought on the floor of the
house Of representatives Thursday
during somewhat heated debate on
bill for the leasing of coal lands in
Alaska. The lie was passed and as
the short and ugly word rang out
Delegate James Wickersham of Alas
ka made a rush for Representative
Frank w. MondelI of Wyoming, who
was seated at a nearby desk
Delegate Wickersham, in opposing
the Mondell bill, quoted from his state
ment from the interior department
That is lie," said Mondell, in an
undertone, turning in his seat to speak
to Senator Burt of South Dakota.
you are liar if you say that"
shouted Wickersham, who had over
heard.
Mondell turned to find Wickersham
standing over him, pale in anger,
with clenched fist ready to strike.
Foster of Vermont leaped forward
and grasped Wickersham by the throat
in desire to pull him away.
Don't try to choke me-" yelled
Wickersham, turning about and strik-
ing at Foster in an effort to break his
grip. Poindexter of Washington tore
Fosters hands loose as Foster shout
ed get away"
Then a half dozen members inter
posed and Representative Longworth
of Ohio literally sat on the shoulders
Of Mondell to hold him in his seat.
At this juncture the mace made it's
appearance and over the shouts of the
angry men and their excited friends
was heard the steady crash, crash of
the speakers gavel, welded by Acting
Speaker OImsted
Both men then apologized to the
house for the language used.

ALL BEING DONE By HAND
English Viewers of Velvet Already
Are at Work on Royal Corona
ton Robes.

In the ancient borough of Sudbury
In Suffolk the few remaining hand
loom weaYers are hard at work max
Ing the velvet for the coronation
robes.
Among the number are the Misses
Foakes, members of a family of weav-
ers who in days past were makers of
bunting for the royal navy. In their
cottage, which was once visited by
which are two lengths of beautiful vel
vet, one rich crimson in color and the
other dark brown.
The weavers are seated when at
their looms, their feet working pedals
resembling those Of an organ. There
are two sets Of threads, the visible
one forming the back of the material
and the other the pile, each of these
being delfcately threaded through
vertical threads known as the har-
ness. The weaver passes the shuttle
backward and forward, and each warp
and welt is pressed home by a swing
ing wooden frame A cutter which
runs across the loom on a wire cut the
threads to make the pile.
The process of manufacture is slow
and tedious. The time is occupied not
SO much in the weaving as in the
cleaning. At each foot or so made the
weaver uses a curious knive like a
spokeshave and shaves the surface Of
the velvet to clean it.
There are now not more than 80
hand loom weavers left in Sudbury,
the Misses Foakes being among the
number. The rows of weayers' cot
tages, now occupied by other artisans
and general weavers, show the extent
OF the industry fifty years ago.--Lon-
