COLD WEATHER DUE
TO ARRIVE TONIGHT
Fair Weather But Cold
Winds Is Prospect for
Capital.

A drop of six degrees in an hour this
morning, the Weather Bureau says, Is
the forerunner of a cold night.
The mercury will drop to about ten
degrees below freezing during the cold
est hour. Very fair weather is expected
to continue through the next forty
eight hours. There will be no sugges-
tion of summer in the air.
The Weather Man forecasts cold west
erly blasts. A wire from Middle Had
dam, Conn. the domicile of Uncle Hor-
ace Johnson, champion unofficial wealth
er prophet of that State, bears a fore
cast by Mr.. Johnson. It was he
who predicted the terrific blizzard OF
1888, still remembered with shivers along
the Atlantic coast.
Mr.. Johnson came forth with the an
nouncement that from now until the ID
of February violent atmospheric dis
turbances will prevail in the middle At
lantic section. High west winds, rain,
and some zero weather are his proph-
ecy
Nearly a half inch Of rain fell in
Washington IN the past twenty-four
hours. A little north of here It is still
raining, and up in Northern New York
and northern New England snow Is
falling.

Making Play of Work
For the Navy Officers

Deceiving a child into believing that
work is mere play sometimes accom-
plishes wonders in tasks performed.
without harming the child Perhaps the
same principle guides the recent sug-
gesuon that naval officers be ehen
their endurance tests on golf links
1t was Mr.. Roosevelt's idea that Moth
ing better demonstrated an officers fit
ness for his country's service than the
ability to walk twenty miles or so at
a stretch. The officers took the pre-
scribed exercise grumblingly. Walking
for mere walking's sake is a dull bust
ness, as any man will agree The aver
age man or woman would rather crowd
into a packed street car, hang on to a
strap, and inhale exhausted atmosphere
than to stretch his legs for mile walk
in the open air. -
But here is the whole bothersome
problem solved by inspiration, SO far
as the Navy Department is concerned.
Instead of sending corpulent sea dogs
off on a fiye-mile walk, they may now
prescribe game at Chevy Chase. Five
miles paced off about the green will
surely be as good exercise as the same
number of steps taken in a straight
away course. 1t will be making pIay
of work; that's the secret. The score
doesn't matter.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

CLUE TO S|GEL CASE
FOUND IN OPIUM DEN
Customs Officers Find Some
Valuable Papers In
Raids.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3o.-The first def
mite clue to the brutal murder of
Elsie Sigel. the white girl whose body
was found in a trunk in Chinatown,
probably will come to light today
when the official translator of Chinese
documents gets to work on some pa
pers and letters captured in a raid on
Saturday on three alleged opium dens.
Some of the customs officers who
were present at the raids knew some
thing of Chinese and, after glancing
hurriedly over the papers. said they
related to the Sigel case. but just
what value they will have in unearth-
ing the truth of one of the most baf-
fling mysteries which the local police
have ever faced. will not be known
until the papers are fully translated.
The papers were part of the evil
dence concerning the illegal transac-
tions of the Chinese in this country
which were seized By the customs Of
ficials in their search for opium or
other smuggled goods on Saturday. 1t
is stated that another rich haul in
correspondence was made showing
the operations of the system or syn
dicate which makes a business of
smuggling Chinese into this country.

SKELETONS REVEAL
OLD LOVE TRAGEDY
Woman In Case Tells How
Youths Died In Effort to
Prove Affection.

PANAMA, Jan. 3O.-Two skeletons,
each contained in great stone jar un-
earthed in the Ancon quarry, have
brought to light the facts in wild and
fantastic test of love for a Panama So
ciety girl twenty five years ago, for the
woman in the case has fully confessed
her part in the affair which brought
death to two of her three lovers.
She is Madame A. Cherchemoi, of
Panama, one of the revered grand
danes of the old society of the isthmus,
and is now staying at the Hotel Tivoli
at Ancon.
Each entered a great stone jar and
pulled the stone top over the jar, on
the understanding that the first to
emerge gave up all claim to the girl to
the other.
81 was only SIXTEEN" says Madame
ChercheZmoI, "and did not realize the
horror of the affair until several days
had passed and neither had emerged.

Negu York Stock Market Was Fairly Adtive, Higher
HILL BULL ON RECIPROCITY BILL.
SPECIALTIES WERE HIGHER
AND LIST STRONG.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-In spots the
market was decidedly strong, but it took
an experienced eye to detect these spe-
cialties here and there over the boards
And but for the sports the market did not
indicate any particular strength.
James ]. Hill sent out an announce
ment that was lacking in the usual pes
simistic trend, this time the hopeful fea-
ture of his interview being directed
toward the Canadian reciprocity treaty,
which, Mr.. Hill, asserts, lis worth more
than armies and navies to the United
States"
From the Hill standpoint it certainly
would be. 1t would mean the hauling of
much wheat to the flour mills of Min
neapolis, the return flow of freight of all
binds, farm implements, clothing, gro
ceries, etc, and the upbuilding of the
two towns, the Eastern terminals of the
Hill Iines-the Twin Cities. If Mr.. Hill
can convince the growers of what in
the Northwest that the Canadian treaty
is a good thing it will go far to remov-
ing the opposition thereto.
American Agricultural Company and
Harvester sustained good advances for
the reason that the Street believes that
form, and that farm implements will
be admitted TO the Dominion free.
The stocks mentioned were really the
strong spots of the session, a joint ad-
vance in Northern Pacific, q in Great
Northern. and 21a in American AgricuI-
tural.
Rock Island issues Joined in the ad-
vance-the road runs to the Twin cities
by the Albert Lea route, and there is
little floating stock on the market, so
that the common and preferred issues
were advanced a point without much
trouble, and held the gain well.

NO COAL FOR FUEL
IN MOUNTAIN HOTEL
-
Electricity for Hostelry on
New England's High
est Summit.

MT. WASHINGTON. N. H.. Jan.
30.-Because 1t Is easier to send the
wherewithal of light, heat and power
on copper wire stretched over the as
cent of Mt. Washington than to tug
coal in box cars up the Jacobs Ladder
grade, the new hotel which is to cap
New England's highest summit will be
electrically equipped in every detail.
The cooking will be done by electricity,
besides the heating and lighting.
The incline railroad, which was origin
ally one of the wonders of mountain en-
gineering, will be transformed into an
electric road and otherwise modernized.
The power station for all these purposes
will be sheltered in an obscure spot at
the foot of the mountain.
The new hotel will have a searchlight
so powerful that it can be seen a hun
dred miles. 1t will be used to entertain
the guests Of the hotel, by Illuminating
the gorges and CULTS of the mountain,
as well as bringing into view the sur
rounding villages.
The Washington times., 1911-01-30

I 1t seems rather peculiar to bring
these minor issues ahead of the old
time favorites, Steel, Reading, and the
Pacifics, but they were the really strong
spots, although Steel common should
not be made to take second place as II
was to the fore is much of the activity
of the session. 1t also showed better
strength than either Union or Southern
Pacific.
There is a disposition on the part of
traders at present to keep away from
the Harrimans, on the theory that the
decision is about due, and that it may
divorce Southern Pacific from the Union
Pacific's control. Anent this are rumors
of large German purchases OF Southern
Pacific, and persistent rumors that
Union Pacific may first be listed in Ber-
lin, and then in Paris. II they desire
to add to their lists a strong, steady
dividend payer Union Pacific ought to
appeal to the guardians of the trading
lists.
Next dividends on the Harrimans will
be made February 9. Union Pacific is
said to be earning Is per cent on COM
mon and Southern Pacific over 10 per
cent. Union Pacific has s40,OOO,000 cash
and equivalents in its treasury, and
Southern Pacific $25,0O0.0O0. The dis
bursements call for $7,50O,OOO on the for
mer and S4.0S9,O00 on the latter, and the
dividend matters are not likely to cause
much discussion.
In the noon hour and the second hour
Of tie afternoon the old-time leaders
added materially to their market value
and became more active. There was no
especial reason for this show of strength
but the support under the market and
the covering of shorts, impressed by
the show of tone, caused the gain.
Union Pacific increased its lead to a full
point. Reading %. and Steel common to
about a point.
While the leaders improved the rest
of the market shared in the advance
and the tone was decidedly satisfactory
to the friends of higher prices.

Washington Gas was again the leader
on the local Exchange, and 1t came TO
the front with another advance OF

sessions of fully two points. The trad
ing was sufficiently active to record
more stock than has been sold for some
time, the initial price 7Sl1 and the clos
ing, where the bulk of the sales were
made. The prediction was made few
days ago that the stock would show
sharp recovery from the depression that
has followed for some time. With the
dividend on. this being payable on We'd

tically selling around 81, the highest fig
ure reached. Developments of import

THE ROAR OF THE RAPIDS,

On Friday of this week the North
ern Minnesota Development associa-
tion meets in the city of St. Cloud.
That gathering marks a danger
spot in the history of that organiza-
tion and if destroying rapids are to
be averted every friend of the North
had better lend all possible aid in
steering the craft through a safe
channel.
There is more at stake in taking a
definite, decided and dignified, stand
on reapportionment than merely re-
apportionment.
If the st. Cloud convention lodges
the issue, or thwarts the real de-
sires and demands of the North, the
Northern Minnesota Development as
sociation will find itself beating
against the rocks.
In Bemidji, it's birthplace, the or
ganization hoisted the reapportion-
ment banner; at Crookston it rallied
beneath it's folds and Brainerd re-
apportionment was, by all odds, the
paramount issue.
If St. Cloud surrenders the fight
with what disgust must the citizens
of the North view the proceedings.
And if the white flag is run up,
what will happen to good roads, i'm
migration and the other things for
which the Development association
has been fighting?
Will the North continue to rally
behind an organization that is ready
to wilt on the direst need of it's peo-
pie?
We believe the voice of the North
will be so loud at St. Cloud that op-
position will be swept aside and that
the association will be stronger and
better than ever.

THE McNAMARAS GUILTY.

Sad as was the tragedy resulting
from the murderous acts of the Nc
Namara brothers, the fact remains
that good will result from the pun
ishment of these two low specimens
of a particularly revolving band of
criminals. Union labor, although
temporarily sufferer, will in the end
gain, because from now on the great
organizations Of the cOuntry's best
and most skillful workers will not
be so guillible and will not jump
with such haste to assume that such
men are innocent "Stop working for
day" and "a million dollar defense
fund are cries raised in connection
with the Mcnamara affair that in the
future probably will sensibly be lack
ing. AS for the McNamaras, no tears
of sympathy need be shed. Not only
did they betray their unions but they
plotted and executed the most das-
tardly and cowardly crimes. James
B. McNamara's sickly effort for sym
pathy by the assertion that he did
not wish to cause his brother pain
comes as a CHASTITY joke in view of
his act of having slaughtered in the
dead of night 21 innocent persons
