foraglng grounds and the places
where shelter may be afforded for a

The resting places Of these no
MAIDS within the arctic circle depend
upon the moss patches, the food of
the reindeer. When il has been
eaten of the ground these people
must strike camp and go elsewhere.
As Q herd Of . hundred reindeer
will soon strip half q dozen acres of
the moss growth, it does not take
long for them to eat up everything
around the settlement, even the
shoots of the birch and willow trees
as far up as they can reach. So
away goes the band. and the place
may be deserted for several years,
since three or four seasons are re-
quired for the moss again to spread
over the ground wherefrom it has
been eaten. This is why the Lapp
wanders through valley and over
plain. as does the tribesman of the
desert. He must move to live, but
this sort of life has sharpened his
wits. and he is as shrewd at driving
q bargain as the proverbial Yankee.

SENATOR BOURNE
EXPLAINS PARCELS
POST BILL PLANS
Chart Used to Illustrate
Made by Craftsman in
Postoffice Here.

1t remained for Senator Jonathan
Bourne. Of Oregon. today to take
bran new method of getting out to the
public his explanation of a measure
in which he is especially interested.
1t Is the parcels post bill lately
evolved by Senator Bourne, which he Is
deeply interested in, so much so in fact
that 1t cost him heavily in votes re-
Gently IN Oregon. Instead of delivering
an address to the Senate, which was
tied up with the workmans compensa-
ton bill anyhow, Senator Bourne called
the newspaper men over to his offices
this morning and with use of a chart
delivered them an interesting and illu-
minatng lecture and demonstration
with reference to the bill.
The chart to illustrate the bill was
prepared by John II. Robinson, a drafts
man in the Postoffice Department.
Washington is the center from which
calculations are made.
Senator Bourne made a number of
points in favor OF the bill. He strongly
emphasized the fact that the postal
rates on parcels vary with distance.
The system is a zone or distance sys-
tenn thus protecting local merchants and
competing with express companies.
Scientific Basis.
The scientific manner in which. the
unit Of distance is determined was en-
phasized by Senator Bourne. The quad
rant is used as the base of calculation.
1t was brought out that no less than
$500 different maps or charts for refer
ence, showing distances and rates. would
have to be prepared. Each postoffice
in the same quadrant would have like
sets OF maps. Directories would also
have to be prepared. Senator Bourne
estimated the 100000 copies of maps and
as many directories would have to be
printed, and that the initial cost would
be $4,000.
1t Is the purpose of the bill to COM
bine third and fourth classes of matter
into a new third class. A special rate
of ! cent an ounce up to four ounces

ON TITANIC
READY FOR SENATE
WITHIN TEN DAYS
Senator Smith Will Take Up
Entire Question on
the Floor.

Senator Smith expects to have his re-
port on the Titanic case ready for the
senate within the next ten days.
In an interview, he said the COMMITTEES
would, in making its report, first ad-
dress itself to the construction of the
ship, next the conduct of the crew with
relation to discipline and unfamiliarity
with the vessel, and then the insult
tciency OF equipment, such as lifeboats,
and the like. Wireless regulations, in
ternational uniformity in inspection
laws, and matters of this kind will come
within the purview of the committee.
Senator Smith said he would discuss
the entire question in a speech in the
Senate and would formulate some COM
prehensive and practical deductions
from the tragedy.
Among the dispositions which Senator
Smith has received is one from Mrs.
Walter d. Douglas, Of Minneapolis,
whose husband was lost She told how
Major Butt and Clarence Moore gave
their attention to assisting the women
and making them comfortable when
helping them into the lifeboats
Mrs. Douglas and her husband were
at dinner in the restaurant close to the
Widener dinner. She saw Captain
Smith and Major Butt there.
Mrs. Douglas denied reports Of use
of liquor, and denied the crew was
drunk. She declared she saw one Of
the seamen attempting to test the tenn
perature of the ocean, but instead OF
filling the canvas bucket with water
from the sea he got the water from a
convenient hydrant and then took its
temperature.

that the one-mile limit was respected at

declared that while America stands
aghast at the terrible toll of the

the whisky traffic. The Rev. Ball, like
the Rev. Hermon 8. Pinkham, preach
ed in favor of the excise bill proposed
by Senators Jones and Works.
At the conclusion of the services
resolutions were passed by the con-

STRONG In RICHESON
Condemned Preacher Believes
Governor Foss Will Commute
, Sentence for Murder.

BOSTON. Mass, May 6.-Two weeks
from today. unless his sentence is COM
muted. Clarence V. T. Richeson will
have expiated in the electric chair the
murder of his former sweetheart. Miss
Avis Linnell. According to released
prisoners who have spent time in
Charles street jail. where the minister
murderer has been confined since his
sensational arrest at the home of his
finacee. Violet Edmands, Richeson is yet
hopeful that Governor Foss and the ex-
ecutive council will grant him leniency
for his confessed crime. Attorneys Lee
and Morse, counsel for Richeson, also
are hopeful that their client will be
permitted to spend the remainder of his
NE behind bars.
Because of this hopefulness Richeson
u said to be in good physical and men
tai condition. 1t is almost certain the
matter of Richeson's plea for leniency
will be acted on this week. If such
action is unfayorable to him he will be

Hints on Cleaning the Sink

Every sink should be provided with
three-cornered sieve made by covering a
metal frame with very fine netting.
When water is thrown into the sink 1t
should be turned into this sieve, pre-
venting the solid matter from getting
into the pipes and causing trouble. Each
time the dishes are washed the sink
should be carefully cleaned. The quick
est way is to dissolve a teaspoonful Of
Gold Dust washing powder in hot
water, rinse every portion of the sink
with the Gold Dust solution, pouring
some Of the hot suds down the pipe to
loosen the grease that may have gath
cred in the tran.

lation in the residence districts and out
side towns, but they were practically
barred from the loop district by the

promised three editions today.
There was practically no rioting dur
Ing the night and early today, and, al
though large numbers of police were
kept on special duty about newspaper
Offices and in accompanying all wagons
manned by non, non-union drivers, the blue
cialist, with its morning and evening
editions, continues to be the only pub
lication having any street sale down
town.
The success or failure Of the strike
was believed to depend entirely upon
the action of the typographical Union,
and representatives of publishers said
today, they had reason to believe that
President Lynch would keep the union
printers at work.
Change of Plans.
After the early country editions were
run off the afternoon papers decided on
a change of plans and the earlier city
editions were not printed. Plans were
made, however, to issue a street edition
at 11:45. Special plans were made to
circulate this edition and to offer 1t for
sale in the downtown districts. The
morning papers were sold throughout
the Loop district under heavy police
guard.
The most serious clash of the morning
was at the Wilson avenue station of the
Northwestern. elevated railroad. Sid
men attacked a news dealer there. tore
up his papers and rendered him uncon-

attack took place in sight Of persons

HELENE And

The report Of serious collision be.
tween an lnter-Island steamer and the
MatsOn Navigation tug Intrepid, wide.
ly circulated along the waterfront last
evening, awakened much interest when
1t was reported that the smaller yes.
eel had been severely damaged and

This morning II was learned that
the lnter-Island steamer Helene, re-
turning from Hawaii ports, and At
tempting to gain her berth n the new

weeks ago was known as the MalsOu
wharf. crashed into the tug Intrepid.
The MalsOn tug was considerably
damaged through the collision. Luck

hurt, though it Is said that several
CrsOns on the tug at the time had
rather narrow escapes from receiving
serious injuries.
The Helene forced her way into In"
