surrender. We will fight, " declared
Chief Be Sho She, leader of the re-
calcitrant Navajos, encamped on
Beautiful Mountain, to peace ENJOYS
from Superintendent Shelton, Of the

four Of the renegades sought by the
government for larceny, bigamy and
assault. 5.

CONNECTICUT LEGISLATORS
SCARED AT OWN LAWS

Hartford, Conn.-Some laws passed
by the last general assembly and now
effective are proving a surprise, even
to the legislators who made them.
One law provides strict punishment
for any person who carries lighted
cigarette or pipe into a streetcar. 1t
has already caught many persons,
most Of whom had unconsciously failed
to extinguish their cigars. The con-
duetOr has handed the offender q
printed warning, taken his name, and
later police officer has served sum-
mons. Legislators express surprise
mat they ever voted for such a law.
The new workmen's compensation
law as passed exempted employers OF
newer than five persons This exemp-
uOn was to Overcome granger opposition.

6 Amuse Hens Is Order
of Wisconsin POultryma1

Madison. Wis.-Amusement and ex-
ercise for poultry is advocated by
James G. Halpin, poultry man for the
college of agriculture Of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, as a means of pre-
vening the annual winter shortage of
eggs.
Right now poultry houses should
be deeply bedded with dry straw, !"
said Mr.. Halpn, "and the grain feed
should be worked into this litter so
the hens may get good exercise and
amusement hunting for it. If nothing
of this kind is done, the flock will
huddle together and lose all interest in
life, and winter eggs will be few.
cit is well to get the hens to exer-
cising and singing. They work for
their feed"

'P0RTERS FORCE
PUBLIC TO DIG
Pullman Company Pays Little
Of Employees Wages.
California r. r. Commission Scores
Methods Of Big Corporation
in Dealing With Travellers.

San Francisco - That the Pullman
company does not pay its porters ade-
quate wages, but expects them to exc
out living from the ''generosity'' OF
the travelling public, was the declara-
ton Of President Eshelman, Of the
State Railroad commission, which for
the past two months has been conduct
ing an investigation into the regula-
tons and practices Of the company in
this state.
"The public, = said President Eshel-
man in substance, sis unable to get
any service until it has paid a gratuity
over and above the contract price.
Personally would not be opposed
to seeing an increase in the rates
charged, if the proceeds were applied
to paying the company's employees 4
living wage"
Though it is not within the pro-
vince of this commission, said Presi-
dent Eshelman, s'to have anything to
do with the rate of wages paid to the
employees of any corporation, we are
convinced that much Of the trouble Of
the Pullman, company is due to the
fact that it does not pay sufficient
wages to its employees and virtually
compels them to make a living by get
ting the travelling public to dig up,
or come through, as the language Of
the day has it.
There are serious complaints against
the practices of the company and
these, or many Of them, 60 back to
the necessity Of its employees to dig
living wage from the public.
II am even prepared to say that If
the Pullman company would raise its
wage scale and do away with the
abuses of the tipping system, this
commission would be willing to listen
to an increase in rates. As they are
now operated, the man who rides in
Pullman cars is unable to obtain any
service unless he pays extra for it"

HUERTA Is DIFIANT;; RE-
FUSlVG TO QUIT OFFICE

Mexico City Regardless of rumors
and notwithstanding the insistence OF
far-seeing friends, General Huerta ap-
pears more determined than at any
time to retain the presidency and
carry out his plans of installing the
substitute congress.
Huerta reiterated Tuesday that he
continued to be head of the Mexican
government, and the fact that he took
no step towards preventing the inaug-
uration Of the new congress, as de-
manded by the United States, was
construed at the embassy and the lega-
tics as indicative Of what may be ex-
pected in the future.

Washington, D. C.-In the case of
John R. Buchser, homestead entryman
in the state of Washington, against
the guardians of four minor children,
the Supreme court holds that the Fed

stead entry ceased with the issuance
of patent and that after the patent is
sued the land became subject to state
laws. In this case Buchser's wife
claimed half interest in the home
stead. but decided it after the patent
issued. The Supreme court holds the
wife's contention is valid.

Secretary Of War Garrison
Lauds American Army

New York Secretary Of War Gar
rison, at dinner given in his honor at
the Lotus club. said the people Of the
United States ~ . whole did not re-
gard the army in the proper way. The
secretary made his statement in dig
cussing the effectiveness Of the army.
even in time Of peace.
"For one thing" he said, "I think
the people fail to discriminate be-
tween their hatred Of bloodshed and
war and the function of the army in
respect thereto. For the fireman,
physician, engineer and for the clergy
man, none Of US have words other than
Of praise and encouragement. Yet for
the soldier whose very presence is q
protection against others attempting
to use force and whose efforts in our
behalf, when force is used against us,
are essential to our defense, the peo-
pie have either negligent attitude OF
other one of disapproval. cannot,
on any reasonable grounds, account for
this.
eff it were true that the officers
and men of the army were staggering
DULLES, seeking to engage in war for
wars sake, or undesirable citizens
who brought disgrace upon the uni
form and the country, there would be
reason for this public attitude. But
exactly to the contrary is the case.
The army, both officers and men, new
er was of higher tone than today, no,
as high, in my opinion.
"No sane man can think that a ma
ton situated as is the United States
with respect to the world could do
without an army. It is essential fol-
any nation today to MAINTAIN sufficient
force to secure the carrying out Of its
DEGREES. We all believe that the ten
dency of the American government il
toward righteousness, that we have nc
desire for aggrandizement, for oppres-
sion, or for taking away from anyone
or any nation that which rightfully
belongs to it.
eve also know that it takes two to
keep the peace and that we cannot
safeguard the interests of our people
without the force constantly ready to
maintain and secure it,
