GREAT SIBERIAN REFRIGERATOR

To appreciate the severity of the
climate of northern Siberia it is only
necessary to understand the practical
purposes it is made to serve. The
entire country is used as a refrigera-
tor for the preserving of articles of
food.
One day a traveller, dining at Tomsk
on plump fowl, asked how long the
bird had been killed. The landlord
evidently softened his reply as much
as possible, knowing the repugnance
of most foreigners to any food not
quite fresh.
Two months only" he said: mot a
day more"
No precautions are required for the
preservation of beef, for it takes care
of itself. Nearly all butchers kill, at
the beginning of the cold weather, a
sufficient number of animals to furnish
provisions for the entire winter and
allow the meat to freeze. There is no
fear of any food changing in such a
temperature. Fish become so solid
and stiff that they are set up on their
tails against the walls of the market.

"Battle of Pottsburg

The Story of Southern Girls Brav-
cry at the Lomo Theatre Friday,

Sensations abound in this thrilling
Civil War picture, and the theme Of
the story is refreshingly new The
girl was not only brave but strikingly
resourceful.
She sets ON fire a bridge, on which
terrific military engagement is TAX

smoke effects in this confagration as
the bridge is destroyed and Kalem

PEELED to accept price that would not
justify growing them. While there
has always been a strong de-
mand for syrup made from cane rails
ed in this section, it has been difficult
to find market, for the reason that
every man has made his syrup differ

ers could not depend on it being all
the same quality or near the same
grade. This was not due to the fact
that the syrup was not good but rath-

Hopes to Appease Rebelious Factions
BY Appointing Leaders to

Washington, March president
Taft canvassed the situation in Mex
leo closely yesterday with the Mexi-
can ambassador. Senior Martinezy

The chief subject discussed was
more rigid enforcement of neutrality

What measures are being planned
by the Mexican government for the
pacification of the country have not
been made known here officially but
a well authenticated report last night
was that several cabinet changes
soon would be made by President
Madero to appease discontinued ele-

These changes are said to include
the possible return to the cabinet of
Senior Francisco de la Barra, now
travelling abroad, and DIR. Francisco

charge of assault with intent to murder
her young husband, Eugene H. Grace
He was shot at their handsome Elev-

While the doctors at ST. Joseph's

life of the husband, the police are
searching for more facts to support
their theory that the crime was COM
mitted by the wife. Grace has little
chance to recover.

rush a doctor to his house as he had

wounded man replied.
Mrs. Grace was found at Newman,
Ga, at the home of her mother-in-law,
who accompanied her back to the city.
On her arrival Mrs. Grace was arrest
ed and taken at once, on her own re-
quest, to the hospital to which her hus-
band had been removed.
Meeting of husband and wife was
dramatic.
Daisy, you are the one who shot
me-" he said.
"Why how can you?' she protested,
you are trying to make me out a
murderess."

first reached him that he discovered
he was shot at o'clock in the morn

sensation in his side. 81 told my

says he then became unconscious, and
when he awoke, he squirmed over to a
telephone and called the police.
Much importance is attached by the
police to the corroborative testimony
of J. c. Ruff1n and his wife, negro
servants. The woman says she made
a fire in Grace's room a little after 7
o'clock at Mrs. Grace's request While
