SEVERELY ENFORCED
NAVY REGULATION

IN the small book of regulations for the
government of the United States Navy
there is a siX-line paragraph which de-
fines the formalities and ceremonies to be
observed by naval vessel while passing
the home and tomb of George Washing
ton. at Mount Vernon. The regulation is
one of the most severely enforced in the
service, and any commanding officer who
should slight the mark of respect due to
the memory of the first President and
the first commander-in- chief of the navy
would be court-martialed.
The ceremony is almost Il rite. When
naval vessel steams in sight OF Mount
sernon the watch officer in charge of the
bridge orders that the ships bell be tolled.
Instantly Il bluejacket strikes the clap
per, and as long as Mount Vernon is in
sight the bell weirdly tolls at half-minute
intervals. Turning to the bugler, the
officer orders the men called TO their
quarters. When the bluejacketS are lined
at the rail nearest the tomb of Washing
ton attention" is sounded All work Is
put aside. Every man stands stiff and
motionless at attention. with his face to-
ward Mount Vernon.

Yuma Completes
The Bridge Fund

The Yuma county (Arizona) super
visors yesterday set aside $1,000 to
complete the fund of $4,000 neces-
sary for the construction of a bridge
over the Colorado river at Yuma to
connect the state highways of Arizona
and California.
The federal government through
the Indian bureau had appropriated
$4,000, the state legislature of Ari-
zona $4,000, and then the state leg
islature of California passed an ap-
preparation bill of $4,000 to cover
it's share of the work but the bill was
killed by Governor johnson. The I'M
perial county board of supervisors
then appropriated $1,000 and $4,000
was raised in San Diego and Los An
geles, which still left the fund $1,000
short.
1t was this thousand which was
pledged by Yuma county yesterday.

reeiaI Cable 10 The washington Herald.

Srecial Gable TO The Washington Herald.
Berlin, Sept. 6-Enforced idleness and
distress among working people unparal-
leled in recent years is feared throughout
the empire.
Every great industry is depressed. The
outlook for the opening of winter, when
the building trades languish, is very
gloomy. Besides. the harvest will be far
below the average It is feared.
For every hundred vacancies at the
labor exchanges there were 16s appli-
cants last month. The Vorwaerts, the
Socialist organ, asks brusquely what the
ruling class intends to do when the de-
mand for work is shouted in their ears.
The Vorwaerts says that so many peo-
pie will be out of employment within the
next few months that the most eIab-
crate system OF almsgiving' will not
begin to relieve the distress.
Prices Getting Higher.
Meanwhile prices rise steadily. Good
meat has long been out OF the reach of
the very poor. Even common vegetables
have reached extravagant prices and
clothes and boots are dearer.
Hungry mouths are not fed by argu-
ments in newspapers that favor the
existing system. They point out that
other nations. even free trade England
are suffering similarly, that many
sources OF supply are being exhausted
and that the population of all civilized
countries is increasing enormously.

ST. Petersburg. Sept 6-Russian
jingoes are raising an immense cry
over a report circulated officially from
Kamchatka regarding the sale Of spIr-
its to natives by American schooners.
The Russian version says that when
Police Inspector SotnikoI boarded an
American vessel to prevent the sale
of drink to natives Of the Tchukchen
Peninsula he was wounded in the back
by a revolver shot from Americans
who then threw him overheard. This
happened at the beginning OF June, but
the report has only just reached Pet
Topavlovak, whence help is being sent
to him.
The natives have taken the side of
the drink sellers and are hostile TO the
Russian government The last oficiaI
report from the Tchukchen Peninsula
says that whenever a vessel arrives
drink-laden. which is by far the most
profitable cargo for that region, all the
native families come down to the
shore. bringing their handiwork and
belongings with them, which they bar
ter for drink.
First they make the children so sat
urated with spirits that they remain
helplessly in a trance throughout the
few days their parents debauch lasts.
When they have parted with every
thing and drunk everything. the shore
is strewn with hundreds Of helpless
drunkards: the only sound is the howl
ing of their dogs.

can. has arrived here to inquire into
the drink situation.

EPITAPH TO PROVE
BACON'S AUTHORSHIP
Sir Edwin Burning Lawrence Seeks to
Discredit the Bard Of
Avon.

London, Sept. 6.-Sir Edwin Burning
Lawrence, in seeking to prove Bacon
wrote the Shakespeare plays gives out
the following:
"In the 1873 edition Of the Shakespeare
Plays, known as the First Folio no
epitaph appears, for although William
Shakespeare, OF Stratford, had been dead
seven years, the real author, Francis
Bacon. was still alive. But Bacon died
in 1926; accordingly. in the 1852 edition Of
the plays, known as the Second Foffo,
We read:
What neede my Shakespeare for his honour'd bones

Or that his hallowd Reliques should be hid
Under a starrey-pointed PyTamid3

Hast built thy selfe lasting Monument:
For whilst to tn shame of oW-endeavouring Art
