The Real Culprit

It turns out according to Attorney Devlln for the defense in Diggs- -Caminetti white slave case that the federal government has made most serious and inexcusable almost unpre- cedented in the history jurisprudence, whereby great injustice has been done two innocent young men. In it's convict somebody of making white slaves of Sacramento High School and Sorority girls, has overlooked the real culprit- the Southern Pacific Railroad company-and has attached stigma to Diggs and Caminet1 which will not be removed for long time It Is never too late right a wrong and now we move that the name of the Southern Pacific be substituted in the indictment the of the defendants that a similar substitution be made in the record so far as it has been made and that the trial proceed from the point reached, against the southern Pacific the evidence already adduced within the past two weeks be considered having been adduced against the Southern Pacific.
 It appears that the present defendants had no intention of violating the Mann law. It was their purpose their desire to confine their cussed- ness to the state California and all plans had been that end.

ENERGY ExERTED IN PIANO PLAYING

The weight of music-nOt the weight the O. lios which music is printed, but the actual weight that be brought upon a piano in pounding piece of music-is a subject that few musicians ever considered.
 The minimum pressure of the finger note on the piano is equal to no grammes This experiment may be carried by anyone. Take a handful of pennies and hold them a column inn mediatey over any key of the piano, and it will be found that between nine and twelve pennies quired to produce sufficient weight for the note to sound As three pence equal to ounce, and one ounce equal twenty-eight grammes, this experiment confirms the above calculation.
 The note however will vibrate but gently, and to be played "fortissmo' pressur equal times to 5000 grammes is required. Therefore. if in place of cord had balance attached front O note is played 'fortissimo. would suffice lift object weighing more than six pounds. Strange to say We bring to bear almost much force in playing one note in striking chord. If sure of 2000 grammes be required and be struck together, the for each taken separately equals 300 1000 grammes
 What this force represents in entire piece of music Is startling and suggestive For instance, Chopin's last study in C minor. there a passage winch takes minutes and five seconds 10 play. The pressure brought to bear during this short lapse of time is equal to grand total of 3130 kilo grammes, and would be sufficient raise three tons of coal A good pianist strike such he can bring to bear total pressure of something like three tons in minutes.
 In ChOpin's Funeral March" there a passage which takes minute and half to perform the piano. and yet is only a weight of it would only require four or five minutes to move 1000 kilogrammes, one ton. According the two examples given the total tonnage of hours playing twelve o eighty-four tons, though selections Wagner would possibly it much higher.

The administration thus far has pro-

handling the situation, and the United
States has not lost prestige because Of
the attitude she has assumed.
Neither has the potency Of the Mon
roe doctrine suffered. Our government
would not be Justified in intervening
there until there was wanton killing
Of Americans. No such thing has yet
