What is perhaps the most remark
able graveyard in the United States
adjoins the old Spanish church in the
ancient Indian pueblo of Acoma, N.
NJ, and took over forty years to con-
struct, says the Wide World. The vii
Iage is situated high in the air upon
a huge, fiat-topped rock many acres
in extent and entirely bare OF soil. In
order to create the graveyard it was
necessary to carry up the earth from
the plain 800 feet below, blanketful
at a time, on the backs of Indians
who had to climb with their heavy
loads up a precipitous trail cut In the
face of the cliff. The graveyard thus
laboriously constructed, is held in
place on three sides by high retaining
walls OF stone.

UP TO LEGISLATURE
DENEEN CANNOT APPOINT NEW
SENATOR.
Under Lea Resolution Election Was
Invalid, the Legislature Alone
Having the Power to Act.

Springfield, Ill.,, July 19-Attorney
General Stead, in voluminous opin-
ion, rendered to the governor Wednes-
day, holds that the unseating of Sena-
tor Lorimer creates no vacancy and
Governor Deneen has no power to
appoint a successor.
Whether a special session of the
legislature will be called at once so
that Lorimer's successor may be
elected has not been decided Gov
ernor Deneen declined to discuss this
phase of the situation He said he
had not decided what he would do.
In contending there is no vacancy
within the meaning of the Constitu-
ton, Attorney General Stead cites as
analogous the cases of Lee Mantle
of Montana and Matthew S. Quay of
Pennsylvania, Mantle had served q
full term, but the Montana legislature,
though in session and legally organ
lied, failed to elect his successor.
The state executive proceeded to APP
point, contending there was a va
cancy, but the federal senate decided
that the legislatures failure to elect
did not create vacancy as constitu-
tionally considered. The facts in the
Quay case are substantially the same
The opinion incidentally sets forth
that the senate Investigation was not
to inquire into the conduct Of Mr.
Lorimer as senator 1t did not expel
him, but it determined that his cleo
ton was invalid" and therefore, tech
nically, there had been no election.

WASHBURN IS DYING
FORMER SENATOR HASTENS
FROM EUROPE THAT HE MAY
DIE IN OLD HOME.
RACING WITH DEATH.
Last Few Miles of Journey-Life
Prolonged by Extraordinary
Vitality of Venerable
Man.

Minneapolis. - William D. Wash
burn, who is a former United State SEN
ator from Minnesota, and famous mill
er, lumberman and railway builder, is
near death at Fair Cakes" his Min
neapolis home. 1t was said at the
Washburn residence that he was low
having been in an unconscious state a
greater portion of the night.
Mr. Washburn's expressed wish to
die at Fair Oaks" resulted in his be-
ing rushed to Minneapolis on a special
train over the 500 road. When the
train carrying him and members of
his family arrived at the North side
500 station, the former senator was
unconscious and was taken to his
home in an ambulance.
The private car of Mr.. Washburn
was cut from the regular train at
Cardigan Junction, Wis, and spe-
cial engine attached to make the race
against death over the road which Mr..
Washburn himself built. The special
arrived 80 minutes ahead of the
schedule for the train from which he
was taken.
Drs. Eitel, Roberts and White held
a consultation at the Washburn home
after the arrival of the venerable oc-
cupant According to the doctors, Mr..
Washburn is suffering from general
breakdown and his death is only a
question of a few hours. They said
that he had been unconscious prac-
tically all of the time, except for &C.
casional moments when he would
show signs of growing stronger. For
only a few moments he was able to
talk to members of his family. The
doctors explained that his living de-
pended solely upon his vitality, which
was gradually growing weaker, al
though remarkable for man of Mr..
Washburn's age.
The first news of Mr.. Washburn's
condition was received in Minneapolis
Saturday when a telegram came from
e. c. Washburn his son, from Sault
Ste. Marie. The telegram announced
that the doctors had said that Mr..
Washburn's death was matter of
only a few hours and asked w. D..
Washburn, Jr., to meet the train.
Mr.. Washburn anG DR.. G. G. Eitel
left at once, after making arrange
ments with the 500 line for a special
train. Mr.. Washburn met the train
carrying his father at Rhinelander.
Mr.. Washburn and his wife were re-
turning from a trip to Europe. They
went there last FEBRUARY for the bene-
fit of Mr. Washburn'5 health. Sailing
from New York, Mr. and Mrs. Wash
burn went to Naples and later to
Carlsbad.
Mr.. Washburn suddenly found him
self i'll and doctors ct Carlsbad advis-
ed him to hurry home. Accordingly,
they went to England and immediate
ly sailed oevr the shorter northern
route, arriving at Quebec Tuesday
Edwin c. Washburn, who was in the
East joined his parents in Canada,
after learning of his fathers condi-
ton.
Mr.. Washburn was 81 years old Jan.
Ia last Prior to leaving on the Eur
opean trip, Mr.. Washburn was able to
be at his office in the Metropolitan
Life building almost daily, but suffer
ed considerably from failing sight.

Perhaps no woman in Tennessee is
doing a more practical and helpful
work than Miss Virginia Pearl Moore,
who Is at the head of the School I'm
proyement work of the state, and who
has recently been appointed by the
Bureau of Education of the United
States, organizer for Tennessee Of
girls tomato clubs. For some time
the United States government,
through it's bureau of education, has
been encouraging boys to take an in
terest in agricultural activities by the
organization of corn clubs, potato
clubs, ETC., and now the department,
realizing that the girls must be kept
on the farm, as well as the boys, is or
ganizing tomato clubs among the girls
all over the country. Miss Moore has
been appointed state organizer OF
these clubs in Tennessee, and though
she only received her appointment a
few months ago, there are now about
1000 Tennessee girls enrolled in the
various tomato clubs of the state,
says the Knoxville Journal and Trib-
une. The object of the work is to
afford girls in the rural districts an
intelligent interest and an income,
that they may be kept on the farms
happy and satisfied instead of coming
to the city where they join the anemic
procession of mill and shop girls.

AIDS DARROWS CASE
LINCOLN sTEFFENS GIVES I'M
PoRTANT EVIDENCE.
Believed Testimony oof Magazine
Writer Will Be Deciding Factor
In Reaching a Verdict.

Los Angeles, CAL, July 19.-Lincoln
Steffens, writer ON government, poll
tics and labor and the man who was
credited largely at the time with hav-
ing brought about the settlement OF
the Mcnamara cases, took the stand
for the defense in the bribery trial OF
Clarence S. barrow, and gave impress
sive and in minute detail the history
of the McNamaras' pleas of guilty.
Steffens testified that on Saturday
before the arrest of Bert Franklin, on
the following Tuesday, November %,
barrow consented that if it was neces-
sary in order to affect settlement of
the Mcnamara cases, he would let ].
J. Mcnamara plead guilty, as well as
J. B. McNamara.
Steffens testified further that this
decision of Darrow was kept secret
between himself and Darrow, and he
went on representing to the citizens
committee, which he had interested in
the peace negotiations, that Darrow
would not agree to any terms that did
not include the discharge of J. J. Nc
Namara.
Further, the witness testified that on
Sunday, November 26, he and barrow
and former Judge Cyrus F. McNutt of
the Mcnamara counsel, went to the
county jail and disclosed the plans to
the McNamaras and secured their sep
arate consent to the plan which involv-
ed changing their pleas to guilty.
Judge McNutt died since the begin
ming of the barrow trial. In conse-
quence Steffens' testimony on these
two facts, it seems, can, in the nature
of things, have no other co-roboration
than the testimony of Darrow himself
If the jury believes Stetffens, his testi-
mony probably will become the decid-
ing factor in the verdict.

OF sALEsmANsHIP.


Chicago has begun an interesting ex-
pertinent in its technical high school.
A course in craftsmanship is offered to
young women, and the Chicago depart
rnent stores are permitting some OF
their employees to attend it during
what would otherwise be working
hours, not only paying their salaries
for the whole time, but also paying
their carfare to and from the school
This is like the work which is being
done in technical schools In parts OF
Germany, where boys and girls have
a certain number of hours week
free from work and receive instruc
ton in the work at which they are
employed. Employers in Germany,
where the system has been establish
ed for some time, cooperate just as
gladly as Chicago employers are said
to be cooperating in the present ex@
pertinent. They are reported as find
ing it to their advantage to do so. 1t
is easy to see why a good many, es-
pecially Of the larger employers OF Ia
Dor, should find it to their advantage
here as well as there. Take the case
of craftsmanship, which is being
taught in Chicago Some large stores
have so strongly felt the need OF
instruction in 1t that they have es-
tablished schools of salesmanship of
their own where experts lecture and
give advice to ambitious employees In
this way it is possible to develop bet
ter statesmen and saleswomen.
