SAN BIAS TO BE IMPROVED.
Southern Pacific to 5ulld There From
 West Coast Main Line.
[Guadalajara Times.l

[Guadalajara Times.l
 Manuel Bonilla, minister of com munications, this week named a commission of engineers to study the harbor of San Bias, territory of Topic, with a view to extensive improvements.
 The dredge Mexico, now in the harbor of Salina Cruz, will be sent up to San Bias to begin work, just as soon as the commission leaves for the scene of it's labors, during the coming week. It will require some weeks for the commission to complete the general inspection and make it's report.
 Some time ago the Southern Pacific management announced that a branch of the West Coast extension would be built to the port of San Bias. This branch will extend from some point on the main line of the extension near the Santiago river, and will open rich agricultural territory.
 A great quantity of mud, silt, etc, will have to be removed from San Bias harbor, and at least one breakwater will have to be built to make the bay perfectly safe for ships of large tonnage. According to the opinion of engineers who have seen the harbor, this first stone seawall probably will be ex- tended from the northern shoulder of the harbor entrance, while another breakwater can be extend ed from the southern edge of the harbor mouth, if needed later on in the season of improvement.
 Through the port of San Bias, according to the figures of the gov ernment, there pass each year large quantities of sugar, coffee, tobacco, corn, rubber, hides, rice, aguardi- ente and other products of the coast country. These are shipped in such amount as to attract gen. eral attention to the port and it's possibilities when developed into first class haFbor.

That's What Will Be Seen at The Ter rltorlal Fair.

 Twenty five miles in fifteen min utesl Fast enough? r,N F
 That time will hardly be made in the 5000 classic at the fair grounds on next Thursday. Impos- sible on a circular track, say ex- perts. But when the five racing giants start after that money Thursday-when they flash past the grand stand once, twice, thrice, twenty-five times-the hair will raise and the breath will stick.
 A new wrinkle will be introduced this year for the 5000 twenty-five miles track race. A Warner auto- meter timing device will be used. This device is operated by string stretched across the track. As the cars whisk over tke wire the device registers them. A cars time can be caught within one-ten-thou- sandth of second. 4sa
 There are five entrants. Four of them will participate in the Phoenix-Los Angeles desert road race. They are Harvey Herrick, driving the National that won the Santa Monica race; Harry Hahshtie, Mercer; Frank Seifert, a Mercer; Louis Nikrent a Buick, and Bert Dingley, Pope-Hartford. Bert Dingley is the only one of the five who will not participate in the desert race. Special cars will be used for the track event. They are now being shipped here from Los Angeles.
 As little breath chaser Welim- mary to the 5000 classic, any car that wishes may enter Thursday for the mile event. This event, Father George Pdrdy Bullard told reporter this morning, wilR be a "sockdolager." It will be the greatest mile race ever pulled off. The track record here for a mile is 56 seconds. That will be lowered,

He had been master, the most tyran-

captain of an American whaler. And
this yery man at whose heels he was
scrambling along over the ice, had
been one of his crew; had never ap-
preached the quarterback where he
reigned supreme, without an apollo
getic hand at his forelock, and had
always passed to the leeward side of
him up on the deck.
But the Walrus had been destined
never to see port again. She fingered
too long on the whaling grounds to
get back through Behring strait that
fall; and failed in the attempt to
make Mckenzie bay, where other
whalers in similar plight put in for the
winter. Instead of this friendly har-
Dor, she was caught in the pack and
carried, relentlessly, north and west
ward. The milling pressure Of great
masses of ice crushed in her stout
hull, so that the open water they had
been hoping for, became, at once,
their deadliest peril. The moment the
ice broke away, she would go to the
bottom like a plummet.
But. still the slow, irresistible drift
of the ice-pack carried them north and
west into a latitude and longitude

SEEKING MEN FOR
GOVERNMENT WORK
Uncle. Sam Has Well-Paying
Positions in Two Branches
of Service.

Uncle Sam has some good positions in
the lighthouse and Philippine service
waiting for applicants. for which ex-
aminations will be held April Il, and
April 20, respectively.
In the lighthouse service many cadet
officers are wanted. at entrance salaries
OF from $50 to $72O per year. with quar-
ters and meals furnished. Examinations
for this position will be held by the Uni
ted States Civil Service Commission at
the usual places of examination.
Although the cadetship In the light
house service are considered most at
tractive positions. an examination held
January 4, last, failed to furnish a suf-
ficient number of persons eligible for
appointments. The Civil Service Com
mission urges qualified persons to take
the new examination.
Another examination is set for April
30 to secure aftsmen-cartographers in
the Philippine service, at the entrance
salary of s., 800 per year. Training and
experience of at least five years, with
samples Of work submitted, are required
of applicants.
Complete information regarding both
examinations may be obtained from the
Washington and all branch offices of the
Civil Service Commission.

MORE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
OF BRINGING UP A FAMILY

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Our young people continue to fall in
love-" but. so far as science kas investi-
gated this phenomenon in its direct
bearing upon the future of the race, 1t
might be a result of Infection or con-
tagton, or merely an idiosyncracy Of
callow youth.
We have scientifically worked out
cards for scoring cows and pigs and
chickens, but how about scoring young
men and young women who are candi-
dates for marriage? What are the cor
rect standards of form and symmetry
of body-of physical health-of knowl-
edge as to the care and instruction Of
infants?
What are the marks whereby a young
woman whose hand is sought in mar
riage may know a good man when she
sees him, and those whereby a young
man may know a good woman?
All the foregoing important matters
are left to chance and accident and
gossip, because of the fact that we
have been laboring under the foolish
belief that love is blind and not to be
influenced by instruction or reason.
Young men fall in love with such su-
perticial things as a big basket-shaped
hat or a mincing gait, and young wom-
en- with fiashy neckties and glistening
rings, partly because they do not know
from intelligent instruction what to
look for as evidences of real worth In
the opposite sex. After a brief period of
thoughtless. undirected courtship many
a young couple are united in what we
call the holy bonds of matrimony;"
but that these bonds may very often
prove unholy in the sight of God and
men the divorce court records will am
ply attest.
I'VE require a long course of schooling
for the teacher, the physician, the
veterinarian; we offer advanced courses
OIL instruction for those who would do
we'll in the breeding and management
OF cattle, hogs, and chickens: but we
nave no course of training or any
standard of requirement for those who
are to engage in the complex and diff
cult task of rearing young children in
the home. NJ.

A large audience and frequent ap-
plause at the Columbia Theater yester-
day afternoon testified to the success
ful close Of the series of concerts given
this season by the Washington Sym
phony Orchestra. The program, open
ing with Reethoven's "CorIoIanus," and
closing with McDowell's First Suite, In
five movements, was so artistCally in
terprtted as TO render the occasion one
of the most enjoyable of the winter 10
music lovers.
Conductor Heinrich Hammer received
an ovation when it was announced that
he has contributed his services to the
orchestra for one year without salary.
In making the announcement Of Direc-
tor Hammers generous contribution, J.

ger of the orchestra, appealed to the
public to support a similar series of
concerts next year and thanked those
who had supported the series just clos
ing.
A notable feature of the program was
the violin part in the Saint-Saens ora

was received with great enthusiasm,

SHALL WASHINGTON DRIVE
AWAY THE IDLE RICH" ?
n the Editor Of THE TIMES.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
It's quite easy for a man of the stand
ing of Justice Harlan to attack a GER
tain class and call them names. Any
one with less prominence could have ut
tered the same thing he did. and 1t
would not have received a place in the
columns OF a respectable newspaper.
Is wealth a crime in the eyes of JUS
tice Harlan, or is it a crime for a
wealthy man to be idle? II we should
have employment We would fill some
place that some poor man would be glad
to have, and there would be very just
complaint about it. BY not being at
work. We become consumers and not
competitors in the labor field. BY this
course, We create a demand for the
products of the laborer without compet-
ing in his own field for employment. Our
class are welcomed in Paris, London,
Berlin, Vienna, ard the world over, be-
cause our wealth benefits those cities,
and all over Europe there is active COM
petition for wealthy Americans
There are many features about living
abroad to attract us that, sad to say, We
miss in this glorious, glorious land of the
free" We enjov a liberty there that
we do not in onr own Capital. A police
man has not got autocratic power IN
Europe. They could not show the bru-
tality there thev do here. The poor fel-
low on the street car who created a
scene because he claimed a seat which
he had paid for, and had perfect right
to, but was seized by q policeman and
put off the car. and who subsequently
sat down on the track in front of the
car thus blocking traffic, was arrested
and brutally handled ty the police,
made to pay big fine, was called a
crank. Th4 man died three days after
his rough handling. This could not
have happened in any other country OF
city that we know of. The police may
have caused his death. The police au-
thorities of this city carry things with a
high hand. And wealth will soon be made
a crime. We come to this beautiful city
to enjoy the repose oTr wealth gives US,
but If we are to be attacked by those
in high quarters as we'll as running the
risk Of falling into the hands of the
police, Washington will soon be freed
from her wealthy reople who have come
here. and also those who have built
homes here.

HAS ANYBODY SEEN THE
WANDERING LENEVE?

Hawkshaw and Roger O'Mara and
the other sleuths should turn from the
Improbable search for the elusive
Dorothy Arnold and pay little atten-
tion to Miss Ethel Clare Leneve, who
has been allowed to keep out of the
spotlight for quite some time. She
has had to write a letter to the news
papers to recall the fact that she was
still living, and this letter was merely
to say that she was headed for the
wide, wide world. There is about her
announcement vagueness which
should pique the curiosity even of the
least morbid of the mystery lovers and
put every detective on his mettle.
On March she wrote to a London
newspaper of large circulation to bid
farewell to the people of England and
practically dared any would-be pur-
suers to locate her. She says in one
part of her epistle that the people
where she is going live very much
in the open," which of course might be
Palm Beach or the Cannibal Islands.
She saws further that she does not eX-
pect to find it all honey and mirth, "
which of course eliminates Washing
ton. But there will be plenty to do, y
she continues. "and the sun will shine,
which might indicate that she had
taken a job on the Emporia Gazette.
With tantalizing generality she says
that when she is "again on the water"
she will be sailing in "a different di-
rection from that which l did when
last at sea-" which could hardly fail
to be true, since at that time she seem
ed headed for life imprisonment, if
nothing more. Reverting to the eli
matte conditions, she says, Il can
stand the heat, and love the sun and
revel in work" Is it a sugar cane
plantation in Jamaica or a rubber
farm in the Congo?
Every port of entry should be
watched during the next few days. The

of finding new Dorothys every day and
