the evils of divided control of the water
courses The distractions which have
been placed along the various streams

their construction should have been pre-

i'm the twilight zone between the spheres
of federal and state authority. it de-
yeloped that what was anybodys bust

fective authority has been exercised by
anybody.
Feed Navigable Stream.
These rivers (ohio tributaries) are
feeders of a navigable stream and have
an important effect upon the regimen Of
the Ohio river, and it is the opinion of
the board that the authority of the Unit
ed States should be exercised TO prevent
Entertainments upon them exactly as IN
the case of navigable streams.
1T is believed that this Is the only
method of control which promises good
results In practice. The board furtner
urges that immediate steps be taken to
exercise such authority, since bridges
and other structures are to be rebuilt at
once and there is evident danger In sew
eral places that they may be rebuilt In
an obstructive manner

w. Va. Strike to Be Probed.

Senator Kern of Indiana announced
his determination to secure a congress
sional inquiry into the conditions Of
alleged peonage, terrorism and sus-
pension of civil rights in the coal
fields of West Virginia.
This announcement by the senator
from Indiana followed the receipt of a
telegram from ex-senator Watson Of
West Virginia requesting that the pro-
posed investigation be dropped. Mr..
Watson called attention to the fact
that the strike was over and an in
quiry would not result in any good.
In making known his intention to
secure a probe Senator Kern said:
"The strike is not the question here.
Peonage is the question. Representa-
tions of the hunting of men across the
hills as though they were escaped con-
victs or wild beasts is the question
and we are going to have an inquiry.
Charges of violation of contract
labor laws and the use of martial law
are among the things we will probe. |

WARNING FOR
TARIFF REv|SERS
Democrat Sees PaTty'S Downfall
Unless Care Is Taken

In a course of the debate in con-
gress on the foodstuffs schedule
in the new tariff bill Represent
ative Dies of Texas, one of the wool
protectionist Democrats, sounded a
note of warning to his Democratic as
sociates, charging them with a dis
position to smash the tariff wall at a
rate more rapid than the scientific
development of changed industrial
condition warranted.
He warned the Democrats in later
speech that the course they were pur-
suing could lead only to Republican
success in the 1914 elections with the
probable return of that party to power
and a wreck of the Democracy for an
other period of twenty years.
His first speech was framed as an
attack ON his colleague, Mr. Hardy,
and by its very daring brought the
house up standing. 1t was warmly ap-
plauded.
THE wild asses are now in the
green of the corn" shouted Mr.. Dies
amidst the laughter of his nominal ad-
versaries.
The removal of the duty on flax and
flax straw caused Representative An
derson of the ways and means COM
mittee to sing the requiem of the flax
industry of his home state, Minnesota.
Mr.. Anderson told the committee
that "the fields of the great northwest
would no longer shine with the pure
blue flowers of the flax plant, but in
its place must again come the yellow
ing decay of the less profitable
corn"

PUTS OUT PETROLEUM FIRES
Caustlc Soda Solution Mixed With
Alum Is Found to Be Most
Efficaclous.

There are no fires more disastrous
than those in which petroleum min
eral essences, benzoin, etc, play a
part, on account of the difficulty of
getting them under control. No real
ly etlicacious method has ever been
put into use to extinguish fires OF
hydro-carbonic origin. Water is ut.
terly useless. Danger may be at
times reduced to minimum by pre-.
venting contact of air with the flame,
choking it between blankets, mats,
damp cloth, EARTH or sand, but this
is by no means always sufficient. For
this reason scientists are interested
in some experiments made recently In
German laboratories bearing on the
possibility of controlling fires of vary.
ing chemical origin. 1t is said that
if stated quantity of caustlc soda
solution be mixed with an equal quan.
tity of alum it forms a dough-or NOR.
tar-fifteen times as great as the or.
iginal single quantities. This dough
is very light and foamy. If this sub.
stance be flung over the petroleum,
ETC., and the entrance of air impeded,
the fire will at once be put out.
An experiment was lately tried In
Germany to establish these facts be-
yond question. An improvised fire
extending over four cubic milllmeters
was extinguished in less than two
minutes by an eighty-per cent. solu
ton of the above mentioned sub
stance.

ALIEN LAND BILL
PUSHED THROUGH
Measure Passes Both Branches
Of California Legislature
CARRIES LEASING PROVISION
Governor johnson Says He VIII Walt
Reasonable Time For Word From
Wilson Before Signing the Bill.

With the passage Of the alien land
bill by the assembly the California
state administration gave the finishing
touch to its defiance of President VIII
son and his suggestions.
The unusual procedure of bill
passing the senate and being read
three times in the assembly in the
same day was carried out. 1t neces.
STATED the suspension Of the Cali
fornia constitution to accomplish the
feat, but it was done under the whip.
The bill, it is admitted, Will allow
the occupation of land by Japanese
under the threeyear lease provision
for an unlimited time by transferring
leases every three years.
Assemblyman Bradford author OF
the first alien land bill to pass either
house of this legislature, defended the
leasing of land to the Japanese, al
though he opposed ownership by them.
That was the one bone OF contention
in the entire fight
The governor has telegraphed a veri.
fed copy of the bill to President Will
son. Governor Johnson said later:
81 have promised President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan | would grant
them a reasonable time in which to
offer whatever objections they may
care to make" but he did not say
what he regarded as reasonable
time"
Governor Johnson declared he re-
joiced over the passage of the bill as
an administration victory. He said:
1--WE have accomplished the big
thing. We have prevented the Jap
anese from driving the root of their
civilization deep into California soil.
There has not been an inch of recess
sion by the senate or the administra-
tion on California legislation, The
three-year leasing clause was done in
the interests of our people to give
them time to adjust their affairs to
new conditions.
The big thing California set out to
do has been done, without swerving,
and l resent the imputation that there
has been a backing down or a trim.
ming with the situation because of any
influence whatsoever, In all presenta-
tions made by President Wilson and
of Secretary Of State Bryan on the
alien situation not one word, not one
line has been uttered or written con-
cerning the leases of lands. The at
titude of the national administration
was not made known at all on this
phase.
Every bill that has heretofore been
introduced on this subject has con
tained leasing provisions of from one
to fifteen years. For the first time
California is standing firm for what
is our right and we mean to have it,

NOTED POET WELL GUARDED
PaIudan-MuIIer Was Kept From All
Social Intercourse by His
Eccentric Wife.

tihe famous poet Of Denmark, Palu-
dan-Muller, was closely guarded In his
later years by an eccentric wife, great
ly his senior. OF her preposterous odd
ity, writes Mr.. Edmund Gosse in 1.-TWO
Visits to Denmark" stories were
everywhere current in Copenhagen.
She kept him as much as she possibly
could from all intercourse with the
outer world. During a visit to Copen-
hagen the host of Mr. Gosse decided
to invite the poet to dine, and his
daughter and guest were sent on
mission to invite him.
If we could secure him for night
convenient to him, writes Mr.. Gosse,
all that was brightest and best in Co
penhagen was to be constrained to
come, too. But fortune was against
us; If we had found him alone 1t is
possible that success might have
crowned our efforts. When we ar
rived, with our dinner invitation on
our lips, we were damped by being
told that the poet had gone out for a
walk, but that Mrs. Paludan-Muller
would receive us. The fierce little
lady, in fact, closed our retreat by
peeping round the edge Of the door
and commanding us to enter. Miss
Aline Fog, overwhelmed by the event.
lost her presence of mind, and blurt-
ed out the invitation, which it would
have been wiser to suppress.
The answer came at once: "Impos-
sible, my dear lady, impossible! 1
could not sanction it! Mr.. Paludan-
Muller is weak; he is good-natured;
he is only too ready to go into So
ciety. 1t is my privilege to prevent
It. 1 say to him, You are too deli
cate, my dear, to mix with others.
You must positively consider your
health"
Miss Fog feebly asked whether the
poet might not himself be appealed to,
Such old friends! so small party!
so early an hour!" The lady was quite
obdurate, however. II could not trust
him with your message. He is SO
weak, so good-natured. His place is at
home with me. l do not wish to dine
abroad, why should he?"

MAN FOR OVER so YEARS
Woman Concealed Sex-Served In
Civil War.

To go masqueradng as a man for
over fifty years without detection is
the record of a woman inmate of the
soldiers and sailors home in Quincy,
ILL.,, who is enrolled under the name of
albert d. j. Cashier
The woman adopted the garb of
man before the Civil war, in which
she fought for three years, and has
worn the clothes and taken the part
of man since. Only twice has her
secret become known and it was not
until Sunday that it was made public,
The woman has been in the home
nearly two years and has always been
extremely companionable with the
other members. She has become en-
feebled mentally and her secret be-
came known to the authorities at the
home few months ago. So far the
authorities have been unable to learn
her real identity, She keeps it pro
found secret as she did the secret of
her sex during the last half century.
The woman soldier is a native OF
Ireland and claims to have come to
this country shortly before the Civil
war broke out She donned boys
clothing and obtained passage across
the Atlantic as a stowaway. When
the struggle between the north and
south broke out she enlisted in Com
pany G, Ninety-hfth Illinois infantry,
and served three years in the war
When her company was mustered out
the records showed there we're only
thirty survivors.

SEVEN DOCTORS
HELD FOR JURY
PIttsburg Men Charged With
Using Mails TO Oetraud
HEAVY BONDS ARE REQUIRED
Alleging That Practitioners Are Fakes
Postoffice Inspectors Testify at Hear
ins-Decoy Letters Trap Doctors.

Seven alleged fake medical prac-
titioners and the proprietor of an in
stitution said to have been conduct
ing the same fake game in Pittsburg
and vicinity were held for the fed
eral grand jury in Pittsburg by
United States Commissioner Lindsey
upon charges of using the United
States mails to further a scheme to de-
fraud, The bail under which the men
were held aggregated $4,000.
The defendants are Drs r. IL. NJ.

lon, J. A. Kohler, Won r. King, H..

in charge of the Dr. Rhodes insti-
tute and ]. G. Blakeney of Cincin-
natl, proprietor of the Rhofes concern.
Testimony that postoffce inspectors
had sent bottes containing mixtures of
cold tea, salt, ammonia and library
paste to the physicians was introduced
and the witnesses on the stand swore
that they had received replies from
the various physicians advising that
careful examination Of the "speci-
mems" had been made and that the
senders were in serious condition, re-
quiring immediate treatment of the
kind furnished only in their respective
Offices and institutes.
In the case of Mackenzie Inspector
Honvery told how he had written
letter which was sent to the post
master in Mercer to remail to
Mackenzie and that he had received a
reply from the physician inclosing a
blank question sheet which he was re-
quested to fill out and return.
Honvery caused much laughter in
the courtroom by telling how he had
filed out the blank and had sent a
bottle containing a mixture to
Mackenzie and had received an i'm
mediate reply telling him not to marry
and advising him to take immediate
treatment, for which he was to pay
$40 the first month and $3.50 per
month thereafter until cured.
Inspector Leonard testified that he
had also mailed letters to Mackenzie
under a fictitious name from Millhall,
Clinton county, with the same result.
Leonard sent bottle of tea, ammonia
and salt for analysis. He received the
same advice as did Honvery. Similar
letters mailed under other names from
lockwood, Pa, produced the same re-
suits.
Inspector Robert Lewis told of going
to the office of DR.. Mackenzie and ask
ing him if he had conducted the cor
respondence in question and that the
doctor had admitted 1t,
81 asked him if he had made an
analysis of the fluid sent him and he
answered yes" said Lewis. When
asked for a record of the analysis,
Lewis said, Mackenzie had told him it
was destroyed.
