MOVING PICTURE
THAT FAILED

PARIS, February 5.--While tourists
were visiting the historic forest of Fon-
taineblau Saturday they became wild.
ly excited whenthey heard the bleating
of a sheep which was quickly followed
by the roar of lion. The touris, 10
fed in a panicky state and soldiers
were hastily summoned.
They found the lion devouring the
sheep and at the command of the Off
Ger fired and killed the king of beasts.
1t was learned that moving picture
man had bought the lion and sheep
to get a good picture. The thing failed
because when the cinematograph oper-
ator heard the roars of the lion he
fed.
The man who engineered the scheme
has been requested to appar before the
courts. He stands a good chance of go
ing to Jail.

TRIUMPH
FOR WIRELESS

NORFOLK, Va, February 5.-The
British steamer Consols, cotton laden,
from Galveston for Hamburg, flame
swept in a long, futile race for port,
sank early yesterday forty miles south
of Cape Henry. Her crew of thirty
four men, refugees on the British
steamer Castle Eden, were landed at
Newport News.
The rescue of the crew vas another
triumph for ntercommunication among
ocean craft, for the Castle Eden, head
ed fttm Savannah for Danish ports,
picked up the wireless call for help
from the imperiled men on the Contols
and rushed to their assistance. The
battleship New Jersey, on her way
north from the Guantanamo drill
grounds, also heard the call.
The New Jersey sent the first word
to shore Of the rescue of the men by
the Castle Eden after the fire, which
had started early Saturday morning
off the North Carolina coast, had gain.
ed such Roadway asto imperil the lives
of the crew. The revenue cutter Onon-
daga stood by the burning vessel as
it sank. The Onondaga returned to
Hampton roads yesterday.
The steamship Consols was rated at
2239 tons, sailed from Galveston on
January &c, in command of Capt. Jones
for Hamburg via Norfolk. The yes
sells cargo. valued at approximately
$52O,O0o, consisted 70 a large quantity
of asphalt and cottonseed meal and
$500 square bales of cotton.

PrOgreSSiVeS in California
to Make Fight for Taft

tenance Of the tarifT is Of the most vi.
tai importance to this state.
THE progressives of this state win
not follow Governor Johnson into the
Roosevelt camp. Some Of them will, of
course, but not as a party, either the
leaders of the rank and file. We are
with the Governor on everything else.
but California is a Taft state, as wen
as q progressive state.
Little Roosevelt Sentiment.
In reply to the question, Mr. shinn
said that there was very little Roose-
welt sentiment on the Atlantic sea-
board. Perhaps there was some in the
middle west.
Speaking of his mission in behalf OF
the river appropriation, he said:
1.-THE President again showed hla
friendly feeling toward California. We
found he rivers and harbors commit
tee hostile to tur purpose. When the
president learned the situation, he i'm.
mediately went to work to help US,
He has favored the Sacramento river
project ever since ne was secretary OF
war. He sent for Representative
Sparkman, the chairman of the house
committee, and urged the inclusion OF
an appropriation for the river. II IL
seldom that the President interferes IN
a matter of this sort.
1--WE found from the start that we
had a hard fight on our hands. Our
congressional delegation was in de-
pair " accomplishing anything at
this session. But they all took Oh
their coats and worked with a vim. II
is remarkable the fidelity to the state
that you always find among CalifoT-

Father Vaughn Of London
Scores Present Day Evils

In talk crowded with epigrammatic
sentences and barbed arrows of denun-
citation of present-day tendencies
Father Vaughn, Jesuit priest and ora
tor, Of London, lectured at the Belasco
Theater in Washington, d. c., recently,
his subject being Character the Need
of the Day" Father Vaughn was in
troduced by former Attorney General
Charles J. Bonaparte.
The speaker said that the nations Of
the world are beginning to recognize
the fact that the true greatness of a
state or a republic is not to be meas.
ured in terms of acres or of wealth,
but in terms of character. There are
three great engravers of character he
said, these being heredity, environment
and education. OF late, he said, the
pendulum has swung from heredity to
environment, and the votaries of pleas
ure are making environment the all
ahsolving excuse for their lives Of
scandal.
Once on the inclined plane" he
said, unless you are an acrobat, you
can only slip further down. There is
no funicular trackway to heaven, but
there is any amount of tobogganing
to hell. You cannot live on whipped
cream, nor can you build character on
sunshine"
Question Of Dancing.
Launching an attack on the pleas
ures of the present day, and referring
especially to dancing, Father Vaughan
said: Let dancing be exhilarating,
but never intoxicating. Animal dances
with animal names lead to animal per-
formances-they are not human, nor
for humans"
at would be WELL" said the speaker,
"if men and women, before entering
upon the sacred state Of life called

INSURGENTS LACK ORGANIZATION;
REPUBLICANS MAY REGAIN HOUSE

hey hold that opinion they say that
there is no democrat in the field who
measures up to Taft" They believe
that in a national campaign the coun-
try will show that it is still republican,
for they do not see what the democra-
tic party will be able to promise voters
either in candidates or policies to
justify a political revolution.
More than this the republicans are
distinctly hopeful of electing the next
Houie of Representatives Within the
next few weeks practical efforts at
organization for the congressional
campaign will be undertaken. The con-
gressional campaign committee is
shortly to be reorganized. The state
delegations will hold meetings this
week to select their representation on
the committee, and Def the end of
the month the newly created commit
tee will have meeting.
Mckinley for Chairman.
Representative Mckinley of Illinois
will be reelected chairman, and sec.
Rotary to succeed the late H. G. Lou
denslager will be chosen. Francis Cur
tits, director of the literary bureau of
the committee, will be retained in that
position. He now has headquarters
in the Metropolitan Bank Building and
for months has been serving the re-
publican papers of the country with
a weekly letter.
The republicans think they will have
splendid opportunity to carry the
next House. In the first place they
lost many seats in tn last election by
"huke." Local factional conditions
which were acute at the time, but which
do not now exist nor threaten, were
responsible for the defeat of republican
candidates in districts which may be
clGsted as normally republican.
The republicans hope to redeem
many of these districts and their hope
is based, it is said, upon solid founda'
ton. The democratic tariff policy will
be gladly accepted by republicans as
a challenge the way things are going
now, and they will go before the coun
try and appeal to the labor vote as
they have done in former years.
Regarded as Democratic 5lunder.
The republicans do not see anything
in other democratic legislative policies
to set the river on fire, they say. They
think the democrats made mistake in
refusing appropriations for public
buildings. Republicans have always
found that in close districts an appro
prietlon for a public building was
good capital, and while the peop.'
might favor economy as a general pro
position they always were glad to have
recognition in their own districts.
The republicans believe that the
sentiment of the country is favorable
to a wise policy of naval development
and that the democratic program of NJ
battleships will no. be approved.

matrimony, would bear more closely in
mind that what is bred in blood comes
out in the bone. If they would there
might be fewer tokens of physical
wreckage on the highways and byways
of life. Man and woman in welded
life should be indissolubly one, infalh-
BILE true and indefectibly good. Instead
of expecting so much more, let them
be contented with much less, each
from each. Love means giving, not
getting"
Speaking Of education, Father Vaug-
I'm declared vehemently that in these
days boys and girls are well trained
but badly educated. If education means
anything, he said, 1t means drawing
out what is in the youth rather than
filling him up with facts and statistics,
as though he were a delivery van, to
be unloaded as soon as possible
Weapon Of Education.
There is no finer or more terrifying
weapon to put into the hands of the ris-
ing generation than the weapon of edu-
cation" he said; "but unless religion
captains that troop of youth, teaching
it to use that weapon properly, wa
may in the near future be forced to
realize that instead of having drilled
an army we have armed a mob.
Nothing, he said, has given such an
impetus to socialism as the creedless,
cradleless nursery, the pleasure-bound
life and the extravagant orgies of mod
ern society, and nothing can stem the
tide of revolt against law, order and
authority but a shifting Of ambitions
back to the old ideals of higher things.
Father Vaughn was received yetter-
day at the British embassy by Ambss-
sador Bryce, and expects to call on
President Taft before leaving for New
York.
