WINSTON CHURCHILL ROBBED
England's First Lord of the Admiralty
Lost So, 500 in Cash and Valuable
State Papers.

London.-Winston Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty and one of the
foremost statesmen IL England, it was
learned, has been the victim of a most
daring and sensational robbery, in
which a beautiful and mysterious
young woman is suspected as the pos
sible agent of some foreign power.
By the theft the first lord of the ad-
miralty not only loses $4,000 in money,
but highly important confidential
naval data, such as might eagerly be
sought as of greatest value to any
nation not too friendly with Great
Britain.
The robbery has greatly aroused the
entire admiralty, and Mr.. Churchill
has put Scotland Yard detectives on
the trail of an artistocratic band which
has just appeared in London.
The first lord of the admiralty met
with his misfortune Immediately after
having won the money at cards on the
Riviera recently.

Prince Leopold, the recently de

before his fatal illness fell asleep at
a dinner party Immediately after the
first course His guests were re-
strained by etiquette from waking him,
but continued their conversation IN a
low tone. The servants did not care
to continue serving the dinner
The prince soon commenced 10
snore, and slept on for two hours, dur
ing which time no one allowed himself
to 4eave his place. The guests sat
famished in the same room with
marvelously appointed dinner. Finally
Prince Leopold awoke. He took q bur.
ried glance round the table and saw
only a number of perfectly correct
faces successfully pretending to have
noticed nothing. Persuaded that his
slight lapse had passed completely I'M
remarked he said quietly, Now let us
go and take coffee" The guests rose
accordingly and proceeded to the
drawing-room. They were served with
coffee, liqueurs, cigars. The prince,
thoroughly refreshed by his sleep, in

versation, which lasted till midnight
The party then broke up, and the
guests departed, famished with hun

KINDLY CRITICISM.

A kindly E-1tish critic of feminintty
points out that the American girl is
ovc-cthlctic and that this takes away
considerably from her gracefulness
and charm. The American girl, says
this critic, walks is if she had been
trained by a drillmaster. She is mus
cular, energetic and hard drilled to an
extreme. She wastes altogether too
much nervous energy in physical ex-
ercise, which is not essential to good
health One can be healthy and not
overmuscular This gentle fault find
ing applies to American boys even
more than to our girls Muscular ex-
ercise is necessary and should not be
neglected. But it should not be over
done. Too many of our young men
overexercise their bodies and under
exercise their brains There is de-
cided tendency on the part of young
men in all practical walks of life. so
to say, in business, and not infrequent-
ly, also, in the profession, to seek re-
Taxation in physical exercise only
Any form of physical activity is con-
sidered manlier than spending an
hour in the company of books 1t
would serve many a young man we'll
to realize that it could add to his char
acter some attributes which are the
very opposite of those of the molly
coddle to know something about the
worlds great painters or musicians, or
to have a volume of poetry on his

A JAPANESE CRISIS FEARED
EFFECT OF LEGISLATION IN CALL
FORNIA CLOSELY WATCHED.
President Wilson Keeping in Close
Touch With Events Here and
in Japan.

Washington, D. C.-President Viii
son keeps in close touch with the sit
uation, both in Japan and California,
over the proposed alien land legisla-
ton. He read with interest the dis
patches from Toxic describing popu-
lar feeling against the bill and studied
the text of the pending measures as
well as a synopsis of similar laws in
New York. and Texas.
The president told his callers that
the federal government must of nee
essity refrain from interference with
California while in the process of leg
Islating and could not make its atti-
tude known to inQu1ring nations I'M
til the bill was passed. He added,
however, that if any Impression had
been circulated in Japan that the adj
ministration here had become indif-
ferent to the developments in Cali
fornia, such a view was unjustified,
and that judgment as to the measures
should be withheld until they are fl
nally framed and passed.
In the meantime, the president said
that every effort was being made to
keep in communication Informally
with the California legislature 1t is
unlikely that the president will COM
municate his views directly, or take
any steps that will interfere with the
legislative process, but he hopes
through members of congress here to
do his utmost to prevent any obvious
violation of treaty obligations. Should
treaty rights be violated, he is hope
full that Japan will withhold judgment
until the American courts have dealt
with the question.
The attitude of government officials
may be summed up as looking upon
the popular outbursts in Toxic as I'M
warranted at this time. The federal
government fully intends to give Japa-
nese residents every protection and
privilege according to foreigners I'M
der the favored nation principles of
it's treaties.
At the same time diplomatic cir
cles here are alive to the situation and
some of the more prominent embas-
sizes and legations have been ordered
to keep their governments advised of
every action. Protests from Italy,
which it is believed might be follow
ed by more from other nations, as to
the restrictions on aliens, excited
much comment among the diplomats;
but attention was most frequently
drawn to the existing alliances be-
tween Japan and the great powers
which might be affected in case of a
breach between Japan and the United
States.

BIG LOSS IN EXPORTS OF BEEF
Thirty-Six Times as Many CATTLE
Were Shipped Out in 1907 by
the United States.

Washington, D. C.-The United
States was exporting more than thirty
six times as much fresh beef and cat
tie six years ago as it sends abroad
now, as shown by statistics made pub
lie by Secretary Redfeld of the De
partment of Commerce. In the first
nine months of the present fiscal year,
ending March 81, there were exports
of only 5,479,439 pounds of fresh beef
and 1888 pounds of cattle as COM
pared with 200,069,729 pounds of fresh
beef and 307, 72o pounds of cattle in
the same months of 1907 The inter
vening years reveal uninterrupted
decrease.
Another feature of the report is
the statement that while the popula-
ton of the country has increased IL
per cent since 1907, the number of
beef cattle has decreased 80 per cent

BELGIUM'S BIG STRIKE ENDED
The KING ADVISES ACCEPTANCE
OF COMPROMISE.
The Demonstration for Manhood Suf-
frage Has Cost the Nation
Many Millions.

Brussels.-Owing to the advice of
the king, the government has accepted
the compromise proposed by the
Liberal leader, NJ. Mason, and the
great strike for manhood suffrage,
which, on account of the remarkable
discipline maintained, the solidity of
those who Joined in the movement and
skillful organization is unique in his
tory, will be called off Thursday. On
ly a week ago the Belgian premier,
Charles de Broqueville, declared:
mo government could yield to a
strike of this nature. To yield would
be to abdicate.''
The strike, nevertheless, seems to
have made sufficient impression on the
government to induce it to unbend
from it's uncompromising attitude to
insure the termination of a situation
which has already cost the country
away from manufacturers customers
they may never win back. &
The decision to accept the compro-
mise was reached by the cabinet
and the premier announced in
the chamber of deputies that. the
government had made NJ Masson's
motion it's own.
When the chamber of deputies met
there was a tense feeling of expect
ancy. The conciliatory motion of NJ.
Mason, the Liberal leader, was taken
up Immediately. Deputy Liebaert, a
Clerical, proposed an additional clause
reading: THE chamber disapproves
and condemns the general strike.'
Premier De Broqueville accepted
the motion as amended and asked the
other members of his party not to sug.
gest any more changes.
The Socialist leader, Emile Vande-
velde, then spoke saying, I'VE, the
deputies of the left, support NJ. Mas
sons motion for a compromise. 1t re-
mains for us to convoke a Socialist
congress, which alone has the power
to decide whether the strike shall end
or not, but we have the conviction
that the adoption of the motion will
be step in advance"

GAS EXPLOSION CAUSES DfsAs.
TER IN Pennsylvania.
Work of Rescue Retarded by Debris
and After Damp-More Than
100 Victims.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-One hundred min
ers, possibly 120, were killed shortly
after noon when a disastrous expIo-
sion occurred in the Cincinnati mine
of the Monongahela River Consoli-
dated Coal and Coke company at Fin
leyville, about 81 miles southeast of
thisicity
More than three score of workmen
in the mine made thrilling escapes to
the surface, crawling most of the
time on their hands and knees
through deadly gas fumes and over
debris. A number suffered burns
Up to IL O'Clock at night 20 bodies
of victims had been recovered.
The bodies were located by rescuing
squads of the United States Bureau
CT Mines, the Monongahela River Con
solidated Coal and Coke company and
of the Pittsburg Coal company.
AS the rescuers found a body. it was
carried to the entries. None of the
bodies, however, was brought to the
OPEN
Two-thirds of the dead are foreign
ers. Elmer Boyle, George Vickers,
Harry Parker and Peter Mercer, all
fire bosses, are among the known
dead
Conditions in the mine, as far as it
could be penetrated, indicate that
most of the men were not killed by
the explosion, but were caught by
after damp. The bodies were found
scattered in the entrances where
death by asphyxiation overlook the
victims while they were attempting to
reach safety.
The mine caught fire, but at late
hour it was said that the fire had been
subdued. Rescue work is being
carried on with difficulty, owing to the
fire and deadly fumes. The coal COM
pany maintains a rescue corps pat
termed after the federal mine force.
Aid from the federal mining experts,
it is said, was declined by the coal
company.
Only a few of the miners who
reached the surface were in condition
to talk. Suffering from burns or
fright, the miners only knew that an
explosion had ACQUIRED and that a
large number of men were either kill
ed by the explosion or asphyxiated by
the latter damp

There is scarcely any violation of

for simply disagreeing with him on
some matter of doctrine or opinion. 1t
is sinful, because in the first place
there is no just reason for it One
man has as good right to his opinion
as another man has, for in neither
case can either be certain that his doc
trine is true. There are no truths ex-
cept what are automatic, self-eyident.
or what God says, and any man who
declares something different and is
mad at another because he does not
agree with him is worse than the 9TH

and acted upon the world would grow
brighter and happier, and the truth
would have great deal better chance.

Chicago, Ill.-A large can of gun

partly wrecking the front of the build
ing, and shattered windows in the
