PROTESTING
AGAINST The
SEAMAN'S BILL

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 9.--seattle
chamber Of commerce has sent tele-
grams to Senator Burton, chairman Of
the subcommittee of the senate and
Senator Jones, Of Washington, pro-
testing against the seamen's bill which
passed the senate last Saturday, on the
ground that its passage would injure
American shipping interests on the
Pacific coast.
The bill provides for a three watch
system for firemen on all ships clear
ing from American ports. abolishes
Imprisonment for desertion and pro-
vides that two-thirds Of the crew must
understand the language in which
their officers give orders.
Representative Humphrey of this
state says that the bill would drive all

UNITED PRESS LEASED wrnn.l

New York Aug. 9.-Disappointment
was felt here today by those interested
when it was announced by DR.. Cragln
that the expected birth in the Astor
family would not probably occur this
week.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, the young
widow Of the Titanic victim, Colonel
Astor, has been expecting the event
for some time past and the family
mansion here has been besieged by
curious crowds awaiting the news.

MR.. CATLIN'S COSTLY ELECTION.

Whether a higher standard in poll
tics is indicated or only distinction
rather too finely drawn to be non-par-
tizan is puzzling the press in the case
of Congressman Theron q. Catlin
(Rep) of Missouri. The house COM
nlittee on elections, in voting by a
majority of six democrats to three
republicans to report that he had not
been properly elected, charged that
he had spent too much money to OBJ
tain his seat, but made no allegations
of corrupt methods. BY the congress-
mans sworn statement, he spent per-
sonally only $3.50 in the campaign,
and this is well within the limit of
5000 set by the Missouri law. That
his father, millionaire tobacco man,
spent upward of $4,000 in addition
to this, is the basis of controversy.
A minority report said to be forth
coming from the committee may fur
ther disturb the balancing of the
scales by asserting that Patrick F.
Gill, democratic opponent Of Catlin in
the election, and recommended by the
committee to succeed to the seatwould
also have to be disqualified because
he spent about $1,000, or twice as
much as the Missouri law permits.
There is no very hostile comment
upon Catlin, even from the papers who
ask that he be unseated. The blunt
est remarks are In the Louisville
Courier-Journal (Dem.)
Buying seats in the national house
OF representatives and the United
States senate is an indulgence Of the
immoderately rich that is growing in
creasingly unpopular. 1t was for
merly tolerated as an unavoidable
evil. Twenty years ago, Mr.. Lorimer,
once put over, would have been as
safe as member Of the British par
lament is today after having arrived
in his seat through expenditure that
is indirectly bribery. A generation
ago the arrival of Mr.. Catlin by means
of Papa Catlins cash would have been
neither winked at nor baked at, but
considered matter Of course, There
is now a lively demand for square
deal for the dollarless candidate, and
for an end OF bribery, direct or indi-
rect, by dollared candidates .
The st. Louis Republic (Dem.),
while opposed to seeing Catlin retain
the seat and while interpreting the
case as meaning that American public
opinion is set against the accomplish
ment Of political ends by force Of
wealth, adds that the present case is
as mild" a one as could well be
imagined; Compared with the out
givings Of the treasury Of Uncle Ike
Stephenson, who still holds a seat
among the conscript fathers in the
senate, this was but the small dust
OF the balance"

CONVENTION-EN
Andrew M. Lawrence, Chicago
representative of William Ran
dolph Hearst, and boss of the
Hearst-Harrison so-called dem
ocracy, harmonized the county
convention todayswith the aid of
1000 policemen, 100 deputy sher-
ifs and the fire department.
Late this afternoon the Law
renceites were in complete con-
troll of the convention. The Sui
1ivan and Dunno followers among
the delegates did not attempt to
enter the hall. They did not pre-
sent their credentials, and the
leaders were considering the ad-
visibility of rump convention,
with contest at Peoria, where
Sullivan is expected to be su-
pteme.
Before the Hearst-Harrison
people got into the hall of the 9TH
Regiment Armory, however, they
had to batter in the doors, there
was plenty of excitement, lots of
bunk, and a barrel of windjam-
ming. The greatest row arose
over the appointment of Anthony
Czarnecki, republican member of
the election commission, to open
the convention by County Judge
Owens.
Sullivan men last night 'secur-
ed an injunction from Judge Nc
Kinley of the Superior court, en-
joining Czarnecki from taking
any part in the convention. Large

Judge Owens. Everybody had
fine time.

men were detailed, until, at 10
o'clock, about a thousand of them
were on the outside looking in.
Col. Moriarity of the 9TH Regi-
ment, pulled off some blood-curl-
ing remarks about corpses and
the coppers came back with Some
cute repartee about breaking
heads. Much excitement.
At9:30 this morning Czarnecki
arrived at the armory, dealt the
door few raps, and listened to
the echo. He was sore. Again
he raped his knuckles on the
woodwork, and Capt. Thomas

window in an innocent way to see .

OF the entire tribe. Measles Is the
particular disease of civilization from

or even missionaries, SO far as tho
health and existence Of the Eskimos
are concerned. All of them. he de-
clares. and even scientific inevstiga.

With the object of literally pro-
tecting the Eskimos from civilization,
Mr.. Stefansson stated that he will
visit Ottawa in a short time TO urge
action by the Dominion government
He suggests that ii would be FEAST

Mr.. Stefansson. NO one cares hang

THE most deadly disease that has
ever struck the Eskimo OF Alaska Is
measles. 1t has killed over so per
cent OF all the Eskimos that have
died within the last twenty years in
Canada, and Alaska. The mission
aries and the supply ships that bring

are just as likely to bring in mea SEES
as whaiers or fur traders.
