the underground streams. That is they
piped them through the pillars, as to

The holes for these pillars range from
6 to 50 feet deep. as they were sunk until
10 feet of rock was struck. Test holes
We're drilled 10 feet below the bottom of
the holes and whenever there was 10 feet
OF rock the digging was stopped and the
pillar construction began. one of these
underground streams emitting about a
six inch flow of water was piped to

Murphy had much better keep exceed
ingly quiet until the universally expressed
disgust at his actions has had chance
to abate.
Apparently he is not farsighted enough
to see this but comes out needessly and
insults Chance when the latter has signed
with the New York Yankees
Murphys statement as reported in the
Associated Press dispatches is malevo-
lent, malicious, harmful-not to Chance
but to Murphy as well as useless.

Charles Murphy of the Chicago Cubs
has belittled himself in the eyes not only
OF every lover of baseball but of every
admirer of sportsmanship by his con-
duct of the affair with Frank Chance,
who. individually has done more to add
TO the fame and fortune of Murphy than
any other single man-not excluding Muir
ply himself.
Murphy called down enough criticism
on himself when he interfered with

Junior Government.

C. Clarence Likins of Portland who
is superintendent of the Portland
Junior City Government was in Dallas
Sunday and Monday talking to the
mayor and other citizens regarding
the arranging of such branch of city
government in Dallas.
Mayor j. S. Van 0rsdell says that
he is in favor of such organization,
and that he will give the boys all the
assistance within his power and that
he believes that the education the
boys will receive will well pay for
the expense and time spent
The object of this arrangement is
to lean how to manage the public af-
fairs by observation and actual work,
to listen at times to lectures from
posted men on the subject and thus
gain information which will better fit
them for the duties of life.
The organization will be composed
of boys and they will represent Of
ticers of every department OF the CITY
government.
The Portland organization has been
a success and has greatly assisted in
municipal affairs. They gave out
about baskets of food, each basket
contained enough for one family for
several days, thus showing that the
boy officers of that city feel respon-
sibility in city affairs.
Sam Gibson who is always doing
something for and with the Dallas
boys SAYS that he will help the boys
and thinks an organization should be
made here.
Talk this matter over and help the
boys financially. You will hear more
about II later on, for there are men
in Dallas who will be given a chance.

AN EASTER PROMISE
OF FAIR WEATHER
Moderately Cool in New York,
with Light Winds and
Cloudless Sky.

Washington. March 22-The weather
forecaster relented tonight and sent
TO American Observation-Disclosures
and anti-suffragists united in the COM
mon cause of beautiful clothes-the joy
full tidings of a fair Easter day in most
sections of the United States.
A golden sun undimmed in cloud
less sky will shine. he promises. upon
the blush and bloom of the Easter
parade in the greater part of the coun-
try. In the Middle West and Rocky
Mountain country the weather will be
not only fair but warmer. according to
the Weather Bureau.
There are some dismal spots in the
prediction, however. While the ravag-
ing storm of the last few days has
gone out of the country. il is announced
that another seems To be forming on
the Pacific Coast and may mar Easter
there.
Easter bonnets. buds and blooms
probabl will be given touch of frost
on the Atlantic seaboard over which
the recent storm has left its after
math of coldness. Sadly and timidly
does the forecaster intimate the proba =
bility of rain in the Gulf States.
While the day will be fair in most
sections. the weather man warns that
the Easter display should end with the
setting of the sun, for unsettled condi-
tions mad probably rain will spread
tions and probably rain will sprc 81
the Middle West and East. at nightfall.
The man who surveys New York from
the Weather Bureau tower in Whitehall
street last night made this forecast for
to-day:
Fair and moderately cool all day. with
light. variable winds.
Could anything better be asked for the
Easter parade? By moderately cool
weather. the forecaster means the thcr-
mometer will hover around A. degrees.

SHOCK TURNED HAIR GRAY
Woman, "a, Lost Chestnut
go Locks After Accident.

Although sixtyfour years old. Mrs.
Alexander Furst, living at South and
Henry streets, Jamaica, Long Island,
had an abundance of chestnut hair up
to yesterday morning. when it turned
gray overnight. Worry over the fact
that her daughter and son-in-law had a
narrow escape from asphyxiation
caused the hair to change. Mrs. Furst
believes.
On Thursday evening Gladys Arnold
and Edwin Felix, her husband, actors,
returned to til home of Mrs. Furst
after a theatrical engagement. In
turning out the light in their room they
accidentally turned the gas jet on
again.
Shortly after they had retired Mrs.
Furst was startled by a thump on the
floor, quickly followed by another. She
hurried upstairs to find her daughter
and her son-in-law unconscious. DR..
Helm, Of the Jamaica Hospital, was
called. and brought the victims to after
an hours work.

M'C0MBS HAS THE LAUGH
Phrenologist Told Him He
Would Be a Diplomat.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.l

From Ine
Washington, March 22.-That ". F..
McCombs has missed his vocation In
life by finally declining the embassy TO
Paris IS the conviction of some of The
Democratic National Chairman's COZ
lege friends.
1t appears that when McCombs was 4
freshman at Princeton, nineteen years
ago. he consulted phrenologist whose
custom 1t was to read the bumps of
the 'freshies" at 30 cents head. The
professor" discovered remarkable
assortment on the head OF the future
political leader. and actually predicted
that he would enter the diplomatic
corps and would be Ambassador in
Paris.
Mr.. McCombs did not take the pre-
dction very seriously and even sus-
pected that some Of his remarkable
cranial developments might be due to
the last game of football In which he
took part, but he admitted to-day that
probably the old man knew what he
was talking about.
"Well, | fooled the old phrenologist,
anyway" was Mr.. McCombs's COM
ment shortly after he had definitely
announced his declination Of the
French post, but 1t was mighty close"
