Strange Developments
 in Snowslide Case


TACOMA, June 13. That J. Franklin hammers. wealthy Alaska mining man." who was extensively reported in the newspapers last week as killed in a snowslide, and that Thomas NJ. Cartwright, of Cor doVa, who came out to see heirs to the $6OO,0O0 estate are one and the same man is the sensational charge made here today. The allegation shatters a fancy story of death and wealth told for purposes yet to be lscertained
 Cartwright came to the newspapers in Seattle and Tacoma and repre- sented himself as a Cordova mer- chant, a friend of hammers, told of Lammer's death and wealth, and re ported himself as seeking heirs to the estate. He asked that his story be given widest publicity. Through the newspapers Mrs. Lam mers was found working at the state asylum at Steilacoom, incognito.
 She had not heard of hammers death and was much agitated when she saw the stories told by the al legged pseudo Cartwright. She at

distant parts of the world. radium minerals and their forms of occur renee were very much the same as in Saxony. With some insignif- cant exceptions. every known uran- ium mineral ocurred in the veins of Saxony.
 With the world of uranium thus at last classified and apparently placed under the thumb of science, To and behold. an entirely different uranium mineral and source of ra- dium has been developed in the car. hottie deposits of our western states Colorado, Utah and New Mexico) and Australia. This promises in- deed to form the principal future source of uranium for the extraction of radium. Carnotite is a uranium chemical composition from the pre-. viously known uranium minerals of Saxony, but differs also in the mode Of occurrence; for, whereas all of Saxony's uranium minerals occur in metalliferous vein formations inter- secting with rocks. the carnotite de- posits of our west occur in strata of yellowish-colored sandstone or clays in short, in stratified rock.
 The more the student would have mastered the wonderfully varied modes of occurrence of uranium minerals in Saxony. and mastered, as he supposed, the geology of ur- anium ores. the less would he have been inclined to view favorably our western strata of yellow sandy-look- ing clay as possible source of uranium. Which shows us that science and the "know-it-all' spirit have their material drawbacks.

SCOTTY SELLS FAMOUS MINE

LOS ANGELES, June IA. - Death Valley Scotty" has sold his famous mine for $1OOO.OOO. according to his own assertion here today.
 The purchasers. he said, are T. A. Watson. F. E. Sharp and F. c. Good win. the latter formerly business manager of the Portland Oregonian. Fifteen thousand dollars, Scott de- clared. have been paid down, and the balance is to be paid at the rate of 350,OOO a month.
 For years Scotty has periodically startled Los Angeles by appearing with his pockets filled with gold. which he lavishly distributed. He once made a spectacular journey to the Atlantic seaboard in a special train, breaking all speed records The location of his mine has remain ed a secret.

That ore is where you find i' is an old maxim of the prospector. No sooner does the geologist or scientist set up the dogma that such and such is the origin of a certain ore, or that in such and only such rocks will you find a particular ore. than We hear of wonderful mines in places where the scientist would never look for mineral That is the history of the worlds oil fields, gold fields, copper properties and iron-ore fields. Science no sooner tells us where to look for mineral and where not to look for it, than someone who didn't heed sciences warning. but ted into some supposedly barren proposition. and made science revise her rulings.
 In this issue of Mining and Engn- ttIIIlS NOTlu IS an aTtlVle on the radium minerals of Saxony. which brings out this same condition of affairs with regard to radium min erals. In the veins and lodes which network the mineral districts of Saxony there has been brought to light a bewildering array of ur- anium (radium) minerals. With these mines worked for several hun dred years. with the Freiberg Royal Schools of Mines close at hand, not to mention the presence of learned and technical societies 1t would seem that every possible radium mineral and method of oc- currence had been investigated, and that nothing new could be discovered anywhere in the world with regard to radium minerals Science had apparently said her last word on the uranium minerals; and her words seemed to merit particular weight from the fact that in Bohemia, Corn wall North Carolina and in other

1 of them will look as If they wanted to hug him. They are just as sus- eeptible to manly charms as other "omen-the trouble is that some thing has deprived them of the prop- CT kind of home life.
 Tt Is no accident that most suf. tragettes are homely and more or less unsympathetic. A woman who Is either beautiful or sympathetic or both, has no time for pursuing the phantasmas of suffrage and
 equal rights She is too busy with "oman's natural affairs, looking af- ter her husband, taking care of her children and spreading little cheer here and there. Of course. there are exceptions to this rule. but 1t holds good in most cases.
 T know something of the trials or woman who Is not pretty-you see used to play opposite a wom. an who was beautiful and everybody In the audience looked at her. used to feel as If could hug any body that would look at me while she was on the stage"
 It is only fair to Miss Rowland to say right here that there are those who dissent from her opinions as to her facial charms, but Miss Rowland was warming up to her subject and talking fast.
 Suftragette is matter of tehper. ament and environment" she went on. Give any suffragette a good home and a sympathetic husband who is wise enough to manage her without seeming to be brutal or bossy and the cause will be shy one shouter. After all the mania is mans fault If he had so man aged the world that women wouldn't have to enter his own field to make d living. If all men had been both slse and kind in managing their wives. there would not be any such mania afflicting the social body to- day. But 1t won't help to give women the ballot It will only make the muddle worse.
 Moreover, it will put the matinee idol into politics We'll have a pret- ty man for mayor, a pretty man for governor and pretty man for president unless some handsome mel ancholy featured nurse-a-secret- sor- row sort of man in each communi- ty comes forward as political boss, and switches the votes of the wo- men to an abler but less hand some candidate"

 COLUMBUS STATUE

WASHINGTON, June 8. The United States is paying homage to- day to the discoverer of America by the unveiling of magnificent mem orial fountain erected by congress to Christopher Columbus One hundred thousand visitors crowded the city. Half are members of the Knights of Columbus, gathered to give tribute to their patron.
 The enthusiasm in Washington was rivaled only by the inauguration of president. Imposing unveiling exercises were held this afternoon. President Taft spoke his praises. In recognition of the allegiance of Col umbus to the king of Italy, the Mar quis Cusani Confalonieri, the Ital- ian ambassador at Washington, un- yelled the memorial
 A mammoth pageant moved along Pennsylvania avenue and passed the union station, before which the memorial is erected.
 Monsignor Thomas Shahan, rec tor of the Catholic university, was selected to open the ceremonies with an invocation; Justice Victor J. Bowling, of the supreme court of New York delivered the initial ora tion, and James T. McCleary. of the Columbus memorial commission fol- lowed with an eulogy just before the Italian ambassadors, with a few words of tribute to his illustrious countryman, revealed the monu- ment to the view of the world

Kisses are Certain Cure
 for Suffrage, Says Actress

KANSAS CITY, June s. The suffrage movement the suffrage mania, you mean, do you not?" "Oh. kisses you mean, do you not?" "Oh, kisses are the best cure for the sui. fragette"
 Miss Adele Rowland was perfectly serious about it. She sat on a cushion which topped a pile of stage property on the "backstage" of the Shubert theater, studied the toes of her gold and white No. 3 shoes, galed at the interviewer in A most discomfortinx silence for a full min ute, then
 DO you want me to tell you what 1 really think about the suffrare movement or do you want me to say something that will make a good story?"
 Miss Rowland was assured that the interviewer desired her real opinions upon the subject. You see, Miss Rowland as Rene Casadier in "A Modern Eve" is budding sui fragette, daughter of real suffra sette who wears the trousers in & home that her husband believes fl. "all big mistake" And Miss Row land plays the budding suffragette in very lifelike manner. That is why the interviewer asked her opinion upon the suffragette move ment. Interviewers are always looking for something startling. YOU Know, and there are not many sui Tragedies on the stage and if Miss Rowland turned out to be one. why. well Miss Rowland did not turn out that way Most emphatically not.
 Tt isn't a movement, it's ma nia," said Miss Rowland, giving her real cross-my heart opinion. And just between ourselves wouldn't be in real life the Rene Cnsadier of the stage for anything in the world.
 T am sincere when l say that kisses are the cure for the sui fragette. You see, the suffragette Is not normal creature. Woman belongs in the home. She should be cared for and protected from the harsher things of life. And the normal woman. if she has these things - and where Is the woman who is not better for plenty of kisses and caresses she won't care to vote

BIG EAGLE ATTACKS CHILD

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn, June 19. - The largest eagle ever seen or shot in these parts attacked Elm ma Trewald, an S-year-old girl, in the rear of her home at Westport this afternoon. The bird, which measured seven feet from tip to tip of the wings, scared down on he girl as she was picking daisies for the flag day exercises at the school this evening.
 The eagle grabbed the girl by the back of her gingham dress with his claws and started to fly away with her, but the goods gave way and the child fell into the grass. The eagle was returning to renew the attack when the child's cries alarm ed Rudolph Trequid, the father, and he came out with a shotgun and us ing the two barrels, brought the king of the air to the ground.
 Even then the bird put up a stubborn fight and clawed Trewald viciously when he approached him. The girl was lacerated somewhat by the claws of the eagle and was bruised by her fall to the ground, but her injuries are not serious.
 It is against the law of the state to shoot an eagle, but in view of the fact that it was to preserve a human life, it is not thought that Trewald will be prosecuted

PLAN TO EXTERMINATE
 ADVERTISING SIGNS

PARIS, June IA. - France seems 10 have found the very end of the disfiguring of her natural scenery in advertising signs. Finance Min ister kletz has introduced bill in the chamber of deputies which will tax out of existence the billboards which are such an eyesore along the railroads and highways. Hitherto the tax on these boards has been franc or francs and 30 centimes and single payment only.
 Minister kletz proposes an annual tax of 50 francs per square yard be- low six; loo francs per yard below ten; 200 francs to twenty, and 400 francs for above twenty yards. The tax will be doubled if two advertise ments are on the same board, trip led for three and quadrupled for more. Thus a board with four ad- vertisements, 12x2 yards would pay 3S,4OO francs year, which would be preposterous.
 The land Is to be held equally re- sponsible with the advertiser for the fines for nonpayment, which would be equivalent to years tax with minimum of 500 francs. An in- genious clause will make the pro- prietors pay an additional land tax based on the sum received from the advertising. Vested interests are preparing to fight the bill tooth and nail.

An irritable old farmer and his ungainly, slouching son were busy grubbing sprouts one hot, sultry day, when the old man suddenly stumbled over a small stump.

 The son slowly strengthened up from his work and gazed reproach fully at his father.

this style, the army officers began to neglect it. When the angle of the emperors mustache began to droop somewhat, army officers took the hint and either cropped their hirsutical appendages or went far ther and initiated the American by clean shaving.
 This has spread so rapidly that now virtually only the noncommis- stoned officers and the police are wearing the upturned mustache. Among the higher army officers there is now a decided preference for the clean shaven face, and that promis- es to be the style of the German Mars" for some time to come
