CONGRESS APPROpRl ATING
MONEY MUCH TOO FAST

WASHINGTON, ID, c.. Jan. 81
Congress is appropriating money for
public buildings faster than the treas
ury department can put them up.
That is the situation f. sing congress
today in its program for 'pork
barrel" bill to appropriate s25,OOO, 900
for more public buildings, according
to Representative Cline of Indiana.
Congestion of work in the supervision
architects is said to be the cause.
at is physically impossible for the
architects office to construct the new
buildings authorized" said Cline. "Re-
organization of the entire office with
the employment of more architects
and draughsmen is needed. By July
/, when the proposed new public build
ing bill may order construction of
$50 new buildings, the architects will
have 199 unfinished buildings under
construction"
To commit the government to new
policy of actually spending mini
mum of $12,O00,00O and a maximum OF
SIS 100000 annually in the construc-
tion of its new buildings is Cline's
proposal

DIR. WILEY, NOTED EXPERT.
EXPOUNDS THEORIES

DENVER, Jan. 31.-"For fifty
years the nation has placed the dollar
above the citizen, but the era has
come when the citizen will be placed
above the dollar. The unequal distri-
button of wealth strikes a blow at the
very citadel of the nation-the public
health"
DR.. Harvey Wiley, father of the ma
tional pure food and drugs act sounded
this statement as the key note of his
fight in speech that scathingly ar
raigned the greed, painted with pathos
the conditions of the nations "under
dogs and uttered a passionate plea
for the babies.
'Noblesse oblige'-the duty of the
peer to the serf-has become riches
oblige'-the duty of the rich to the
poor" he declared "We are all serfs
in kingdom which money rules.
Upon the rich is fastened an obi
CATION to return what they have ac-
cumulated-you will notice that | do
not say earned No man can earn
81 100000. And what man does
not earn does not belong to him.
Eating is the principal industry OF
every community. Everybody's doin
it. If you live to be go years old
you will have spent five years at the
table. The average man spends twen-
ty years of his life getting and pre-
pairing food. Sleeping, which is nee
essary to digestion, occupies twenty
additional years, so that forty-fi five
years are spent by every man, woman
and child in the United States who
attains the age of go in this import
ant industry, and yet we hear less
and read less about it than any Other
human pursuit.
"One-half the people die from dis
ease which can be traced to the stom
ach or some of its functions, of i'm
proper nourishment, or lack of any
nourishment."

SUPREME JUDGE CONDEMNS
''DO NOTHING" POLICY

TROY, N. Y, Jan. 30.-Not in many
years have legal circles been as ex-
cited as they are today following JUS
tice Wesley C. Towards bitter at
tack on the "do nothing" policy of
the bench. Howard, justice of the
supreme court, recently was detailed
to the appellate division by Governor
Sulzer To the alumni of LaSalle in
stitute, the justice last night declared
that the judges of this country were
doing more to create anarchistic con-
ditions than any one else.
Brandt, the obscure valet, not
guilty at all of the crime of which
he was accused. so the attorney gen
eral states, is sentenced to state prison
for thirty years-practically for life;
Robin, the millionaire, the alleged
wrecker of banks, houses and homes
goes to jail for year. Morse, who
pyramided banks and juggled with
millions, gets out of prison because
he is sick, while the convict in the
reXt cell, who stole coat perhaps
remains there languishing with sick
ness till he dies.
"The people are becoming impatient
with these discrepancies of justice and
they are demanding with louder
voice each day that there be reform
1t is not well TO scsoff at the NUT
terings of the people; there is much
reason for it. But revolutionary
measures are to be avoided. The re-
call of judges and decisions would
work no cure-that would precipitate
anarchy.
Let US not deceive ourselves, the
spirit of recall is spreading; the i'm
patience of the masses is growing
deeper. Something will happen. I'm
less judges act, the people will act;
if they do not resort to the recall
they will revise the constitution and
create new courts-courts that will
do rough justice; courts that do sum
mary justice; courts close to the com
mon people; courts without technical
tiles, sophistry and delay, and where
substantial right prevails"

END OF TARIFF HEARINGS.

there is to be one comprehensive tar.

BURGLAR IDENTIFIED
BY TEETH MARKS S

PARIS, Jan. 30.-Even the finger
print method of obtaining evidence
against criminals has been excelled
by the police in establishing bur
glars identity from the teeth marks
which he left in pat of butter.
Pierre Bassaud, the alleged burglar,
broke into his former employers
premises. Failing to discover any
valuables, he went to the kitchen and
had feast When arrested he denied
the charge, but the police found the
marks of his teeth, including one
which was broken, exactly reproduced
in lump of butter into which he mad

but when the magistrate, before whom

CHAMPION SWIMMER
LOSES INDEX FINGER

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-A thrilling
story of how "Duke" Kahanamoku,
the Hawaiian worlds champion SWIM
mer and winner of acquatic honors at
Stockholm, saved his life but lest
an index finger in desperate bat
tie under water with giant eel is
related today in special Honolulu
dispatch to the Herald.
The battle occurred Tuesday at the
Dukes" practice grounds near Homo
lulu. The expert swimmer killed the
eel but not before the monster had
ripped off the forefinger of his right
hand. The loss may impair his swim
ming powers permanently.
Cries from persons on shore warn-
ed other swimmers that something
vas wrong with the champion and
they looked about for him but kahan-
amoku had disappeared. Suddenly
there was frenzied churning of wa
ter over spot where the depth was
ten feet and one leg of the swimmer
was thrust above the surface des-
perately wig-wagging for help. Then
the leg was dragged beneath the wa
ter again and the churning recon-
menced. Finally Duke" shot to the
surface exhausted and sank again.
Friends dived for him and rushed
him to shore where he was revived
while other swimmers found the body
of the eel which the "duke" had choked
to death with his hands.
The eel was the largest ever seen
in Hawaiian waters.
