Washington. May 1.-THE resigna-

governors and the secretary of the
Metropolitan Club in this city. made
known to- day, following a speech by
President Taft last night. in which he
denounced Ism all headed men" who.

have stirred official and social Wash
ington to the core. President Taft,
who is a member of the Metropolitan,
was reported recently to have felt some
resentment over the exclusion from the
organization of several newly elected
Congressman and Senators, proposed
for membership by some OF the most
influential men In the club. Among
the men excluded was one OF whom
the President is said to be particularly
fond.
The furry caused by the clubs ac-
tion al that time had partly died down,
when President Taft last night. in an
address at the Jewish Temple. revived
the subject by saying that he had
had friends-G entiles-kept out nf
clubs by people who were not worthy
TO button UP their shoes"
This was followed by the announce
ment to-day that Brigadier- General
Clarence r. Edwards. OF the Burenn
of Insular Affairs, an intimate friend
of President TAFT; Lieutenant Colonel
Charles L. McCawley. OF the Marine
Corps formerly a White House aide
and Captain T. NJ. Potts. of the navy
had resigned their official positions
with the metropolitan Club.
General Edwards and Captain Potts
were members OF the board of COVER
nors. and Colonel McCawley secretary
of the club. All three of these officers
had asked that their resigna tons take
effect at once. but Captain Potts and
Colonel McCawley later agreed TO serve
until next October on account of the
difficulty of filling their places at this
time of the year. General Edwards,
however. insisted that his resignation
should be accepted Immediately.
1t is said that the designations of
Messrs Edwards, NfcCawley and Potts
undoubtedly mean that In the future

Not Likely That Definite Action

Washington. May 1I.-As indicating
the possible effect on legislation of the
Supreme Courts Standard Oil decision,
three bills were introduced In the Sem
ate to- day. one by Senator Jones. Of
Washington, Republican. and the other
two from Senators Culberson. of Texas,
and Reed, of Missouri Democrats. All
look TO amendment of the Sherman
antitrust law to include all combina
lions In restraint of trade. regardless
of their reasol.ableness or unreason-
ableness. and all are suggested by JUS
tice Harlan's dissenting view in the
Standard Oil case.
Senator Culberson seekst to make the
provision prohibiting combinations to
apply to all such combinations OF

The Jones bill so amends the law
as 10 declare all combinations Illegal
whether reasonable or unreasonable"
Mr. Reeds bis provides that all COM
binations in restraint of trade shall be
held unreasonable and illegal in all
proceedings in law and equity"
The Senate TODAY ordered the print

FIRE EATERS.
The Trick of Breathing Flames asd
Sparks From the Mouth.

The rick OF breathing FLAMES atsd
Sparks From the Mouth.
Fire tricks were practiced i'll very
ancient times. The first known fire
breather was a Syrian slave named
Eunus, leader in the Servile war In
Sicily, 100 B. @. He pretended to have
immediate communication with the
gods. When DESTROYS OF inspiring his
followers with courage he breathed
flames and sparks from his mouth.
In order TO accomplish this feat Eu-
nus pierced a nutshell at both ends,
and, having filed it with some burn
ing substance, he put 1t In his mouth
and breathed through it. The same
trick Is performed today in a more
approved manner The performer rolls
some fax or hemp into ball about
the size of a walnut, which he let's
burn until 1t is nearly consumed
Then he rolls around 1t more fax
while it Is still burning By this
means the fire is retained In the ball
for a long time. He slips this ball
into his mouth unperceived and
Dreafhes through It. Ills Dfeatn re-
wives the fire, and he sustains no in
jury so long as be inhales only through
his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feats of this sort
performed by the ancients- An old
ordeal was the holding Of redhot
iron by the accused who was not
burned if he were innocent. Probably
some protective paste was used on the
hands The peculiar property Of
mineral salts, such as alum. in pro-
tecting articles Of dress from fire has
long been known An old Milanese
devised a costume consisting Of a
cloth covering for the body which had
been stepped in alum. A metallic
dress Of wire gauze was added to this,
and thus protected man might walk
on hot tron.-Harper's.

State University News

Indoor baseball, game which IS
being played this winter for the first
time at the state university, is max
ing big hit among the students. It's
popularity continues to grow as the
PLAYERS become more accustomed to
this interesting sport and the games
which are being played at the gymna-
SUM are attracting considerable at
tention both in Missoula and IN other
cities of the state.
This imitation Of real baseball was
introduced at the university only
about six weeks ago, and Immediately
! it took place among the regular col
lege athletics. The students were at
once anxious for outside games and
since there were no other teams IN the
! state, the Garden City indoor baseball
league was formed through their eff
forts. This organization is composed
Of three local teams and the UNIVERSE
ty team. A series Of twelve games IS
being played and pennant is to be
given to the winner.
It is not likely that the university
will be able to schedule any games
with visiting teams outside OF Mlssoula
this winter. However bright pros
poets are being entertained for next
years season. Other cities Of the
state are taking notice of the enthu-
siasm which the new sport is arouslng
and have indicated their intention of
forming teams.
The Charter Day program at the
state university on February II will
be somewhat varied from the usual
custom Of past years. The exercises
Of the day will be confined entirely to
the afternoon and evening and the prin-
cipal address will be given at 8p. M,
instead of in the morning. During the
afternoon the buildings and laborato
ries will be open to the inspection of
visitors and at 4 o. M, the final game
of the inter-class basketball series
will be played. In the evening James
Pariser Hall, dean Of the law school
Of the University Of Chicago, will
speak, and following the lecture re-
ception and dance will be given in the
gymnasium for the visitors and stu
dents.

versity has recently been appointed a

For The Public Good

One hears a good deal about the
power of the press, but the fact is that
no newspaper has very much real pow
er over men or events in these days
unless it is known to be standing
sanely and steadfastly for the welfare
of the whole community and nation.
The day of party organs is past. Sen
sational papers appealing to popular
passions cannot move thoughtful men
the men who make history. The only
kind of newspaper that really has ire
mendons power in these days is the
Independent, reliable disinterested
journal of wide circulation, whose
columns are known to stand always
for the general good-for public hon
esty and a square deal, whatever hap
pens. An excellent example Of this
sort of journalism is The Chicago
Record Herald. 1t has the enormous
circulation that deservedly goes with
the printing Of all the news, but its
power lies in its wise, conservative,
Independent editorial policy, which il
shaped with one sole end in view-the
public good. It's news and critical
columns show the same spirit. 1t is an
ideal paper for the home.
