A REBEL SPY
Efforts Being Made to Save
Harry Dell.

San Diego, Cal, Feb. 23.-Sentenced
to death by q drumhead court martial,
Harry @. Dell may be shot today II
desperate efforts now being made to
obtain his release prove unavaiiing.

for the revolutionists. Dell denies any
connection with the revolution and
says he was taken prisoner when his
motor car broke down ear Tiajuana.
Appeals in his behalf have been
made to the United States authorities
at Los Angeles, Judge Van Fleet OF
the United States court at San Fran
cisco and Commander Babcock of~the
United States troops at Calexico. Dell
is said to have been a sergeant In the
Thirteenth infantry in the Philippines.
1t is understood another man was ar
rested with him, but the identity OF
his companion is not known here. An
effort vas made to get a message
through to the state department at

sui at Ensenada urging them to act
promptly in Dells behalf.

JAPAN TREATY
A MAKESHIFT
New Agreement 10 be Re-
placed in Six Months.

Washington, Feb. 23.-It has been
learned that the treaty with Japan is
only a temporary convention, provid-
ing for only the least important ques-
lions interesting the two nations, and
that it will be replaced within a year
by a permanent treaty. All problems
of interest to Japan and the United
States win be either postponed until
next year or handled under an in
formal status quo.
1t is the intention OF the state de
partment to draft a treaty to last ten
years, with a proviso for prolongation
in multiples of ten. The life of the
treaty sent to the senate has been ar
ranged to terminate after six months
from the date of its effectiveness. This
has been done to permit the ratifca
ton of the new treaty, the contents o.
which viii embody every II of tht
important diplomatic questions intend
ed to be part Of the Japanese-Ameri
a convention.

New York, Feb. 23:-William
English Walling's reputed socialis-
tic theories of life and love were
contrasted yesterday with the more
primitive and sentimental emotions
on those topics as advanced by Miss
Anna Bertha Grunspan, a young
woman from Paris, who is suing the
young writer for 100000 damages
in the supreme court before Justice
G~iegerich.
About a dozen letters were read
| In court that were said to have been
EXCHANGED between the plaintiff and
the defendant five years ago. They
gave alleged glimpses OF the life
and relations of the two In Paris,
London and Switzerland, and pur-
ported to reveal some of the activi-
ties of Mr.. Walling in Russia during
the revolution.
Miss Grunspan charges breach Of
promise. Miss Grunspan has snappy
black eyes, coal black hair and rosy
lips. She wore a sealskin coat ant
a large fur hat.

HOUSE FAVORS
MORE VESSELS
Anti Trust Rider Stays on
the Naval Bill.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The naval ap
the amendments for an eight hour day
on navy construction work and an
other. directed at the alleged steel
trust, has passed the house. The for
LITIGATION bill, appropriatfng $5,320,0OO,
and the diplomatic bill, providing for
the expenditures of about S4,056,000,
also were passed.
The naval bill as 1t passed carries
the anti-steel trust and eight hour
amendments. Only one effort was
made to amend the measure. This
was when Representative Padgett of
Tennessee moved to recommit the bill
to the committee with instructions to
report it back with provision for one
battleship instead of two. This mo-
ton was beaten on a record vote-132
to 1877. The house thus went on rec
ord in favor of two battleships, as pro-
posed by the naval committee.
The naval bill goes to the senate
loaded with amendments which In the
ordinary course of events will be dis
agreed to by the higher body.
What will be the action Of the house
when the bill is returned to it minus
the antitrust and eight hour amend
ments is a subject Of dispute. There
may be a determined fight I'VE this
proposition, which is bound to comph-
cate the legislative situation In the
closing days of the session.
Three or four hours debate vas de-
voted to the diplomatic bill. Among
the new items in this measure is one
appropriating $4,000 for clerk hire at
United States consulates. This In
crease" the report on the bill sets
forth, grows out Of the enlarged com.
mercial relations of the government
and the policy of the department OF
state, which has been approved by
congress- and by the people at large, to
sAmericanize' the entire consular serb

ROOM CAREFULLY SEALED.

An eerie tradition is recalled by
the death few days ago of Squire"
Thomas Green of the Old Hall, Poul-
ton-Lancelyn, Cheshire, England
whose family have been in possession
of the estate since period prior to
the Norman conquest. There is in
Poulton Old Hall a mysterious
locked room which has never been
opened except by representative of
the Green family. The hall and its
lands have sometimes been let, but
the Green family have always re-
tanned possession of this mysterious
room, which is supposed to contain
several relics and other family treas
ures. The last tenant would have
given an increased rent for it if he
could have had access to this room
or could have cleared away the mys-
terious contents, but the owners re-
fused to give up possession, and SO
the tenant left.

RAvAeEs OF FOREST FIRES
Less Estimated at $15o.ooo,ooo In One
year Laid to Carelessness
of Woodsmen.

With a total estimated forest fire
loss for the entire country last year
ranging from $15o,000,ooo to $780,
100000, and causing the death OF
several hundred persons, uneasy 1n~
deed must rest the knowledge upon
any woodsman, experienced or anna
teur, that he caused a fire which
may have contributed in this loss OF
life and property, says Guy Elliott
Mitchell in the Review of Reviews.
On the other hand, the man who ex-
tinguished Ian incipient fire may take
just pride an the act.
The waH to prevent big fires, as
Chief ForeAter Graves says, is to put
them out while they are small. If
people are careful not to start fires,
or if in ca4e fires do start there are
enough pebple available to fight
them, theyS Will gain no headway.
The forest service in its posted no.
tice lays dbwn a few simple rules
to keep in tnind when in the woods
and particularly requests in case of
fire that thf forest guards be noti-
fed. If thq fire has not gained too
large headwtay it may be very pos
sible to che4k and extinguish it, al

DUTY OF HAPPINESS.

There is no duty we SO much un-
derrate as the duty of being happy.
By being happy, we SOW anonymous
benefits upon the world, which re-
main unknown even to ourselves, or
when they are disclosed, surprise no.
body SO much as the benefactor. A
happy man or woman is a better
thing to find than a fve-pound note:
He or she is a radiating focus OF
good will; and their entrance into
a room is as though another candle
had been lighted. We need not care

seventh proposition they do better
