WAGNER'S REVIEW
Closing Stock Letter.

New York, July lit is the same
old story these times-small fuctua-
tions, an occasional decline of some
stock TO a new level, and commission
houses wondering when there will be
a return of activity. The Union Pacific
announcement Of the offerings Of its
certificates of holdings of Southern
Pacific was indefinite as to price, and
opinion was confused over the Balkan
outlook. For want Of something else
TO talk about, there was guessing as
to the size Of the short interest, and
it is being estimated IN some quarters
that contracts, especially in steel, run
into high figures. Things IN the loan
crowd, however, are not always what
they seem, by good deal. Pending
the near approach 10 the harvest, we

Precipitation in the st. Lawrence val

MlNNESoTA's NOSE:
Curious History Of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.

Curious History Of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.
How did the United States come to
get that small corner Of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary Of Minnesota? History Of
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point Of
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty Of 1888 the boundary
between the United States and British
possessions was fixed. Aeertain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mutual
Iy agreed to as one starting point, this
being considered the headwaters of the
St Lawrence river and great lakes
system.
At that time it was not known wheth-
er this point was north or south Of the
forty-ninth parallel, but it was known
to be close to it. The understanding
was that from that point the boundary
should go north or south to the forty
ninth parallel, as the case might be.
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
five miles north of the forty-ninth par.
allel, and so at this place the boundary
makes a jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has a little piece OF
territory of about a hundred square
miles in extent north of the general
boundary. And the joke Of it is thai
any one has to go by water in order tc
reach this little piece of territory unless
he wants to go through Canada.-Path

Sharpening q Pencil.

An expert manual training man talk
ed with the writer about so simple a
thing as sharpening lead pencil. In
the first place, he says, the knife should
not be oversharp, but should be a
little dull, as If too sharp It will cut
quickly through the wood and cut
away the lead. Then. again, be says,
it is best to hold the pencil in the left
hand with the end TO be sharpened
pointing away from you and to cut
away with a pushing cut rather than
toward you with a drawing cut, as
then the point Of the pencil is rested
against the side of the thumb and is
sharpened by draw cut stroke of the
knife blade.-Scientiic American.

LIFE IS AGAIN JEOPARDIzED
NEW INTERNAL MACHINE SENT
TO GENERAL n. G. OTIS.
Japanese Servant Prevents Soldier
Editor From Being Blown Up
Victim Suspects Old Enemy.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 1S.-The
life of General Harrison Gray Otis has
again been j%eopardized by a bomb,
the second time within three years.
General Otis has been threatened
many times since the blowing up Of
the Los Angeles Times, of which he
is proprietor, Oct. l, 1910.
That he escaped injury probably
was due to the watchfulness of his
Japanese servant, who received from
the postman an Internal machine,
mailed in this city, and called his
employers attention to it. The first
internal machine directed at the life
of General Otis was found at his resi-
dence a few hours after his newspa-
per plant had been destroyed through
the efforts of the Mcnamara ~conspira-
tors.
This latest attempt on his life was
attributed by the general to agencies
friendly to those whose conspiracy
e~ventuated in the destruction of his
newspaper plant and the killing Of 81
men there three years ago.
But the police and postal authorities
believe something may be developed
from the theory that the Mexican
question has a part in it.
General Otis is heavily interested
in the Mexican lands of Lower Cali
fornia where, two years ago, Indus
trial Workers of the World joined the
direct action" element of Mexicans
in an effort to establish a socialistic
commonwealth.
The bomb reached "the Bivouac,"
General Otis home, wrapped in a
small package about five inches long,
three inches wide and two inches
deep. 1t bore General Otis address,
written In what is believed to be a
disguised hand.
The Japanese servant removed the
wrapping paper before taking it to
General Otis. He told the general
that he thought there was something
suspicious about the package.
Captain e. B. Feltz, a powder ex-
pert in the police department, took
the machine to a sparsely inhabited
section of the city and pried open
the box. He found matches fixed to
the inside OF the box in such a way
that If 1t yer opened in the usual
way they would have rubbed against
pieces OF s%andpaper and ignited.
There was also black powder. a small
section of fuse, two Illuminating caps
and two sticks of So per cent dyna-
mite. which tore a great hole in the
ground.

This time he slipped quietly in with

and was not recognized during the

depicting Harry Thaw's adventures in

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-two years
In the federal pe~nitentiary on Mcneil

architect of California, must pay for
his flight to Reno with Marsha War

Eighteen months in the same prison

imposed on his friend and companion,
f. Drew Caminetti, son of Antonio

OF immigration, for a like offense.
Caminetti eloped with Marsha War.
rington's friend, Lola Harris.
In designating the prison where
sentence should be executed, Judge
Van Fleet OF the United States dis
trist court first named San Quentin
p~enitentiary, a state institution.
The family preferred a county Jail
and Judge Van Fleet was willing to
show this consideration but not to
the full extent of their desire. When
they objected to San Quentin where
Diggs and Caminetti would associate
with criminals, he amended the SEN
tence to read Mcneil island, subject
to the concurrency Of the governor
general.
While both men stood convicted of
violating the Mann white slave act,

its popular designation as the white
slave traffic act had injected into the
general understanding of 1t, the court
explained, a feeling that the element
of gain must be the contributing mo
tive to the act forbidden, and made
criminal.
Diggs and Caminetti made this gen.
eral understanding their defense, dis
claiming any intent to sell the girls
into lives of shame. The usual mo-
tons for a new trial and for arrest
of judgment were denied. Judge Van
Fleet granted, however. a stay Of *
ecution for ten days. during which
the defendants will be out on bail
fixed at $15,0 900 and $4,000 respective.
ly, while the counsel are perfecting an
appeal to the United States circuit

ible error, which If granted. would
entail new trials.
