Woman's Struggle to Wear Boomers
In an article on "A Woman and
Her Raiment' in the American Maya
zine, Ida M. Tarbell has the following
to say about boomers:
"The story of the bloomer is piqu-
ant 1t was launched and worn. 1t
became the subject Of platform ora
tory and has its organ. Why is it not
worn to-day? No woman who Mas
ever masqueraded in mans dress or
donned it for climbing will ever for
get the freedom of it. Yet the only
woman in the Christian world who
ever wore it at once naturally and
with that touch of coquetry which is
necessary to cary it off, as far as this
writer's personal observation goes,
was Madame Dieulafoy, and Madame
Dieulafoy was protected by the
French government and an exclusive
circle
"Bloomers proved to much for even
the courage of dear Miss Anthony.
For two years she wore them, and
then with tears and lamentations re-
signed them. In that resignation Miss
Anthony paid tribute, unconsciously
no doubt, to something deeper than
she ever grasped in the woman ques-
ton. Her valiant soul met its master
in her own nature, but she did not
recognize it. She abandoned her con-
venient and becoming costume be-
cause of prejudice, she said. What
other prejudice ever dismayed her!
She htrived on fighting them; she
she met her woman's soul, and did
not know i'll!

These lakes are in the district which

The fishing in Trinity lake, Mr.

SECOND VETO
 II MAY STAND
Legislative, Executive and Judicial Bill Abolishing Commerce Court Will Be Repassed in House But Probably Not in Senate
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Aug 20.-President Tafts second veto of the legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill. which will be sent in a message tc congress tomorrow, will find the house prepared to pass the bill again over his veto, according to the house leaders Chairman Fitzgerald. chair man of the appropriations committee said today that the house undoubted- l. would repass the measure
 As the bill went to the president il provided for the abolition of the commerce court, a procedure to which the president refuses to agree.
 The senate's prospective action on the second veto of the bill is a mat ter of doubt tonight. The senate ap- propriatiOns committee recommended that the bill be passed on Monday exactly as MT. Taft desired. but the senate overturned its committee and rut in the commerce court clause by a vote of B to 23. This is short of d twO-t thirds majority, and it is believed the measure can not be re passed over the veto in the senate.
 Delay over this bill makes the ad- journment situation tense in both houses as the leaders of both houses are eager to get away on Saturday night

NOVEL METHOD
 OF SMUGGLING
Discovery That United d States Mail Bags Are Being Used for the Intro
 duction of Opium; Wide Investigation Under Way

HONOLULU. Aug. 20.-Smugglers of opium in their efforts to circum vent the customs authorities at Am erican ports have used Uncle Sam s mail bags as carriers of the contra band drug and have evidently sue ceeded in bringing in many thou sands of dollars worth of opium into island. and possibly mainland ports
 The discovery of this method taken by smugglers. which was made some time ago has been kept from the knowledge of the public by govern nent officials who have ben lnVest- gating the matter on the steamer Manchuria which arrived at Honolulu on August S. from the Orient A mail bag was found among others which. instead of containing letters was stuffed with $5O0O worth of opium.
 Either the mail bags have long been surreptiously used for this pur- pose by collusion between postal em- rlOves here, or at some Oriental port. or the bag had been opened aboard the Manchuria and the mail it con tdlneu ueSIIOEtd SiiiN7 VI Oi''NN''' rlaced in the bag.
 The bag was seized and manifested at Nagasaki. Japan. It was seized at the wharf there when the mail was landed. by a customs officers who apparently had advance information concerning the scheme of the snug glers.
 Recently Assistant United states Attorney General Gordon arrived here and began an investigation in which he was assisted by c. R. Stackable' collector of the port R. w. Breckons, United States attorney in the islands, and Joseph G. Pratt. postmaster al Honolulu. They have been engaged for a week endeavOring to clear up the mystery and ascertain who l' engaged in the smuggling conspiracy It is believed that the investigation will be extended to all calling ports of steamships that ply between Ma nila and San Francisco. Assistant United States Attorney General Cor
 don went from here to Japan. and if is believed his mission is to con- time his investigation in the em- pire ports in an endeavor to locate ! the ringleaders of the smuggling ring.

Death Last Night of Gen. eral William Boot h, Whose Condition for Three Months Was Hope less But Not Disclosed
GREAT COMMANDERS
 WORK WAS FINISHED
Envelope Deposited by Him Many Years Ago, Not Yet Opened, Contains Name of His Successor; Prob ably BramWell Booth
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIspArcHl

LONDON, Aug. 20.-General Will liam Booth. commander in chief of the Salvation Army, died at 10:30
 tonight. He was born at Noting
 ham in 1929. The veteran Salvation
 Army leader was unconscious for
 forty eight hours before his death.
 The medical bulletins had not re-
 vealed the seriousness of the generals
 condition, which for week, it is now admitted was hopeless.
 Twelve weeks ago General Booth
 underwent an operation for the re- mOval of a cataract from the left eye. For two days after the operation in~
 dications gave hope of recovery.
 Then septic poisoning set in and from that time, with the exception of oc- casiOnal rallies, the patients health
 steadily declined.
 The general recognized that his end was near and often spoke of his work being finished Throughout the com- mander's illness. his son. Bramweli Booth. chief of staff of the army, and Mrs Bramwell Booth, gave their elnremitting attention to him. The aged evangelist died at his residence The Rockstene, Hadley- wood. eight miles from London where he had been confined to his bed since the operation. Present at the bed- side when the end came were: Mr. and Mrs. Bramwell Booth. their
 daughter and son, Adjutant Cath erine Booth and Sergeant Bernard |, Booth: the generals youngest daugh- | ter Commissioner Mrs. Booth Hel- berd Commissioner Howard. Colonel 1 Kitching and pr. WardlaW Milne. | Public interest now centers in the question of a successor to the late
 commander. Under the constitution of the Salvation Army the general nominates his successor. This Gen.
 era Booth did several years ago, placing the name in a sealed en- velope, which was deposited with the l Salvation Army'S lawyers with in-
 structions that it should not be
 opened until after his death
 Though nobody knows what name l the envelope contains, the general
 belief of the army is that it will
 prove to be that of Bramwell Booth.

 chiet of staff
 1 When General Booth will be buried 1 has not been decided While every 1 English member of the Salvation
 Army is convinced that the general is worthy of interment in Westminster Abbey. it is not expected that this honor will be awarded General Booth by the abbey authorities. It is the general belief that the commander in chiefs last resting place will be alongsd de his wife, who twenty -one years ago was buried in Abney Park, Stoke NeWingtOn.

Federal General Tellez Oc- cupies Juarez While Gen eral Rabago Is Routing Remnants of Rebels Out of Chihuahua
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

FL PASO, Aug. 20.-Everything in- dicates that the rebel forces in northt ern Mexico are concentrating on the Pacific coast. Either Mazatlan, in the state of Sinaloa or Lower California it is believed will soon become the stand ing ground of the Orozco revolution ists. The rebel commander has given up the attempts to organize d revolu ton on the United States border be- cause of the difficulties of smuggling ammunition over the Texas or New Mexican lines.
 This. the rebels aver. is due to the activity of the United States troops and the border patrol. a condition, they as sert, which it was not necessary to meet in the Madero revolution. With a seaport Orozco will attempt to se- cure munitions of war by beat Indi- cations that the United States govern ment anticipates this move is found in sending he gunbOat Denver along the west coast.
 A force of between 1000 and 150C rebels appeared within a few miles o Culiacan, SinalOa, which is defended by a small federal garrison. Six hundred federal cavalry and four hundred in fantry are repoted to be moving over land from Guadalajara into Sinaloa but their progress over the mountain pass will be slow.
 The location of Orozco remains as much of a mystery as ever, with meag- re reports reaching the border ant practically no telegraphic cOmmunica- ton with the interior. It is believed that he has succeeded in breaking through the federals lines. as he com mands pure cavalry and moves mucf more rapidly than the federals, who art hampered by artillery and infantry.
