Troops Act as Escort.
Frederick's body was conveyed from
the Hamburg Hof hotel to the railway
station with full military horors. Il
company Of the Seventh Imperial Ger
man infantry had been provided for
an escort and the soldiers were accom-
panied by the regimental band. The
troops carried cased colors Of the
regiment in honor Of the dead. The
streets were lined with solid masses
of humanity. Many stood with bowed
heads as the cortege passed.

King Frederick VIII. accompanied
by Queen Louise and their aides and
attendants, was on his way to the Ri
veria, where physicians had advised
him to go to recuperate from the ef-
fects OF a severe attack Of influenza
and incipient pneumonia. OF which he
was recently the victim.
A long motor ride through the damp
air is believed to have brought on re-
lapse, and his insistence on walking
through the streets in the chill night
air, despite the entreaties of his at
tendants, Is thought to have aggra-
waited his condition.
Queen Louise HystericaI.
When Queen Louise was Informed
that the body Of man Of rank, richly
dressed, had been found near the wa
ter front she became hysterical and,
with a strange premonition of evil, de-
clared that it was the king. No de-
scrtption Of the body had been given
and members OF the suite ridiculed the
idea that the body found almost at the
entrance of the docks was that OF
their sovereign.
The body had been carried to a pub
lie hospital ward. and after life was
declared extinct search revealed doc
uments identifying 1t as that OF Count
Kronberg. This. although the local
authorities did not know it. was one OF
the kings titles and was adopted by
him as an incogn1tO.
The instant that the queen entered
the barely furnished ward she recog
nized the corpse as that of her hus-
band, and in paroxysm of grief
threw herself across the cot on which
the body lay.
Physicians hastened to her side and
she was led, sobbing. from the room.
Restoratives were applied and when
she became more calm she ordered
that the body be removed to the Ham,
burg Hof hotel with all possible dis
patch.

SPOKANE, Wash, March 2.-More
than $7,000,000 will be expended this
year for improvements and betterment
by the Great Northern Railway com
pany, according to j. M. Gruber, gen
eral manager, who is in Spokane with
a party of officials from ST. Paul on an
inspection trip over the property in
the Pacific northwest Orders have
been placed for $4,000 tons of 90
pound steel rails and $2,000,000 to re-
place $50 miles of old lines. Prepara-
tory to the harvesting of the berry
crop along the company's line in the
northwest this spring 35 express re-
frigerator cars, costing $4,000 each,
have been ordered for early delivery.
For handling the expected record grain
crop 1,500 cars, costing 800 each, will
be put into service next fall, when
also $50 refrigerator cars, costing
$750,000, will be in commission to ham

TIMOTHY ACQUITTED
OF MURDER CHARGE

Samuel L. Timothy, chauffeur on
trial at Redwood City for the alleged
murder of John J. Moore, wealthy
clubman of San Francisco, was ac-
quilted Tuesday evening. His plea was
self defense.
The shooting occurred in front of
Mrs. Moore's residence at San Mateo
on the night of January 27. Moore,
in a dying statement, declared that
Mrs. Moore was in an automobile with
Timothy. He admitted that he had
opened fire ON the chauffeur.
The tragedy was sequel to a sensa-
tional divorce suit, in which neither
Moore nor his wife obtained relief,
and which involved the name of Rear
Admiral Thomas s. Phelps.
Local interest attaches to the trag-
edy from the fact that Capt. H. n.
Royden, of the Humboldt Realty com
pany, was the only eye witness to the
affair. He was in attendance at the
trial. and arrived in Winnemucca last
evening

The case was continued until 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, at which
time the plea of guilty was accepted
and 10 O'Clock this morning set as the
time for passing sentence.
Wilson sudden change of front

from a term in the penitentiary by
swearing falsely. The communication
was intercepted by Sheriff Lamb and
turned over to the district attorney.

THE FIGHT IN THE SOUTH
AGAINST THE HOOKWORM

At an average cost of 1927 accord
ing to the annual report of the Rookie
feller sanitary commission, more than
100000 persons afflicted with the hook
worm were treated in nine states of
the south during the past year. Con-
sidering the assured results in person
al health of such a work, it was an as
tonishingly small price to pay. But,
as the report says, the particular value
of this enterprise was not in the num-
Der of persons restored to heath, but
in the educational effect of the work
in sanitation. In other words, this is
a preventative as well as curative
undertaking, and it is certain to lead
to vitally important results through
out the south if it is continued even
for few years. There is no possible
way of reckoning, but it is assumed
that millions Of dollars have been lost
to the south as result of this disease,
through the lowered vitality of the
people, the lessening of their agri-
cultural and industrial energies, their
failure to do a proper share of work
when employed and the necessity of
providing for their needs through
charitable works when they fail to
meet thir own necessities. In Porto
Rico the United States government
has already demonstrated the economic
value of hookworm eradication, in
creasing the efficiency of the people by
a large percentage through the system
attic sanitary works carried on there
since the American occupation. This.
however, was beIore the full discovery
of the hookworm disease in all It's
characteristics and effects, and DOUBT
less the Rockefeller commss'o oner s
work in the southern states viii he the
more thorough because of more GO y
plete knowledge of the nature of the
disease and the means of its transmits

Congressman Kent, of California, is
the principal owner. These eases will
come up for trial on March 9th, which

against the company for the alleged
uplqwful fencing of government land
will come up later.
In the civil case the government is
suing Cor damages for the alleged il

wins this suit the criminal ease will
follow, but in case the government
loses the civil suit in all probability
the criminal indictments will be dir
missed

A, e'fan desert This report is IL
mm mating as showing the enormous
inerefse in our taxable wealth which
has resulted from the various enter
ps'ses for reclamation of region
which, until recently, was regarded as
a liability rather than a national as
set
Within the decade Of 1900 and
1910 a total of 50,l46 farm families
were established on irrigated farms,
making a total of l57, 1862 farm fami
lies now residing on reclamation lands.
On these farms 1873, 400 acres were
irrigated in 1909, an incease of S2.5
percent in ten years. To bring water
to these lands has required an invest
ment of 1901, ,699, ,450 in canal systems
having total mileage of 125,6l5; in
reservoirs storing l2,S72, 600 acre feet;
in 1881 pumping plants and 5,070
flowing wells.
AS the future development of irri
cation on any large scale is dependent
upon the work of large corporations
and the Federal government, com
parison Of the progress shown by these
factors is interesting, and prediction
can be made from the tabulation of
what is likely to be accomplished dur
ing the next few years.
