make her nationals stay at home
Baron d Estournelles does not see any
danger OF disastrous economic invasion

not inundation," he says, and adds that
this infiltration is altogether too slight
to assure to California laborers sufficient
to permit of an economic development as

Recalls Early History.
The history of earlier France has been
recalled by the accidental discovery of
three sarcophagi in the Rue de Charonne
where Workmen were digging. The
collins, made Of lead Theoretically
sealed were found in a sort of crypt
which formed a part Of the convent
of the Danes de Ia Magdeleine de
Tresnel.'' Later, during the French
revolution, this convent became the
W orkshop of Richard Lenoir.
The first sarcophagus contained a
copper plate indicating that it con-
tanned the body of the high and
powerful lord Rene-Armand de La

king, died Landau, Germany, August

the body of LaFayette's wife. The
third enclosed the body OF the princess

An Old. Church.
The church of St Jean at Troyes
has just lost its tower built in 1924.
The fall of building in course OF
demolition next door to the church
brought about the downfall of the
tower which, in its turn, demolished
several houses. The church of St
Jean is one of the most historic in
France. Among other associations, it
was within it's walls that in 1920 the
famous treaty OF Troyes was signed
by Henry V OF England the victor of
Agincourt and Charles VI of France
By the terms of the treaty Henry was
to have the hand OF Catherine the
French kings daughter. and succeeu
to the throne of France on the death
of his fatherin1aw. The first part, the
wedding of Catherine and Henry was
carried out in the same church soon
after the signing of the treaty, but
Henry never benefited by the second
clause as he died a few weeks after
the death, of Charles in 1922

opposition of the workingmen who

A treaty was signed on April %
1917, which provided for the restric-

Advocates of peace everywhere hope
that the 100 years of peace will be
marked by the ratification of the per-
maneht arbitration treaty. by the
terms of which all disputes OF what
soever character between the United
States and Great Britain will be sub
mitted TO arbitration. President Taft
initiated the movement, which was
heartily endorsed by sir Edward Grey,
head of the department of foreign at

THIEF ESCAPED IN BALLOON.
Goes Fifty Miles by Air-Pickpocket
Then Orders Aeronaut to Descend
-Enforces Command With Gun.

Sayre, Okla.-A pickpocket, closely
pursued by the town marshal, leaped
into the basket of a balloon near here
just as the aircraft was leaving the
ground and sailed away to safety.
The balloon had been filed with gas
and the aeronaut, George Harvey, was
IN the basket ready to start, when the
marshal discovered the pickpocket TAX
ing a purse from a citizen whose at
tention was conferred on the balloon.
The marshal attempted to catch the
thief, and the pursued man ran and
leaped into the basket as it cleared the
earth. He refused to heed the mar
shall IS warning cry of "stop thief!'' At
the height of several hundred feet the
thief drew a revolver and warned Har-
vey not to release the rip cord ON his
balloon until he was ordered to do So.
After the pair had travelled so miles
the unwelcome passenger gave the word
and the balloon was lowered. Ten feet
from the ground the thief leaped from
the basket and ran. Relieved of part
of its burden the balloon again shot
upward. When Harvey finally landed
several hundred yards from where the
thief had alighted he had disappeared.

J. w. DENNY BURIED
LAST OF OLD GAMBLERS
Lewiston Pioneer Passed Away After a
Long, Strenuous Life.

Lewiston, Ida.-The funeral of J. w.
Denny, the aged Lewiston pioneer, who
died after lingering illness, was held
from his home, directed by the North
Idaho Pioneers association, of which
he was a charter member.
Mr.. Denny, who was called "Uncle
JOHN" is the last of the old gamblers
who made their headquarters in Lewis
ton in the early days, and was held in
high esteem by those who knew him
intimately. He was known in every
mining camp and frontier town in the
northwest, having come to Idaho with
the first rush to the gold fields in Pierce
City in the early '6Os, and bore the
reputation of being the "squarest gam
bier that ever turned a card.'
Mr.. Denny was a native of Missouri
where he was born in 1888, and came
to California in 1858. He followed min
ing excitements in the California and
mineral districts until 1868, when he
came north to Idaho with a party of
gold seekers. He is survived by his
wife and two sons, all in Lewiston

ON NEW WAR BASIS.
Military Will Be on Same Footing in
Time of Peace as in War.

Washington.-The military establish
ment of the United States has returned
to divisional basis. The change is to
make the organization in time of peace
conform as nearly as possible to that
in time of war.
The country is split into three divi-
sions, eastern, central and western
centering at New York, Chicago and
San Francisco, respectively.
Distributed among the divisions are
seven departments and three independ-
ent posts. The functions of the divi-
sions concern administration and sup
ply, while that of the departments is
primarily tactical.
The nine departments existing until
today have. been reduced to seven by
eliminating the departments of Color
ado and Dakota and distributing their
territory to other departments.
The central division comprises the
departments of the lakes, the Missouri
and Texas, and Forts d. A. Russell,
Wyo., Leavenworth, Kan, and Riley,
Kan. The western division includes the
departments of California and Co.
lumbia.
The Philippine division is left I'M

SPORTING NOTES.


London.-The chief ambition of the
Prince of Wales, who is fond of boat
ing, is to row in the Oxford and Cam
bridge race.
New London, Conn.-The Harvard
varsity eight easily defeated Yale, win
ming by 10 lengths and leading all the
way. The race was witnessed by more
than $4,000 persons.
East Church.-Charles T. Weymann,
the American, won the international
aviation cup, covering 93.2 miles in 1
hour IL. minutes SO LIS seconds, his
speed being approximately 7s miles an
hour. This brings to America the cup
won by Claude Grahame White, the
Englishman, at Belmont park a year
ago.
Cleveland, Ohio.-Pitchers Baker of
the White Sox and Gregg of the Maps,
both Spokane boys, engaged in a slab
duel here Saturday. Gregg won. The
fact that Gregg was announced as
pitcher helped to draw a crowd of 1000
This young southpaw seems to be about
the best young HEAVIER in the league,
and Cleveland fans laud him next to
Joe Jackson.
London.-The Amateur Athletic asso-
citation championship at Stamford
Bridge attracted big crowd. The en-
tries included athletes of America, Can
ada, Australasia and practically the
whole of Europe.
The first event completed was the
hammer throw, which was won by
George E. Putnam of Ottawa, Kan, a
Rhodes scholar at Oxford, with LAT
feet 1-2 inches.
p. l.. Ramsdell of the University of
Pennsylvania, holder of the 1OO-yard
cup, won the 1OO-yard dash by a few
inches. His time was 10 2-5 seconds.
Pittsburg,-Three senior records
were broken and one equaled in the
final days meet of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union championship games. This
fact, taken with the showing made by
junior athletes, made the meeting one
of the most successful in the history of
the A. A. U. The records broken were
in the $50 yard run, the mile run and
the javelin throwing. The previous
record for the 200 yard hurdle was
equaled by the man who made it.
The Seattle Athletic club was the sur
prise, taking third place with IL points.
From every angle the contests were
exceptionally good. 1t is estimated that
more than $4,000 persons witnessed the
events. Counting the attendance Fri
day, upward of $1,000 persons saw the
meet.
Vean Gregg, the former Spokane In
dian twirler, figures fourth in the list
of winning American league beavers
who have worked in five or more games,
with five victories and three defeats,
