HENRY Lane WILSON
CALLED BY PRESIDENT
EN- ROUTE TO CAPITAL

New York. Aug. .+-Henry Lane VIII
son. Ambassador of Mexico. who has been
in New York for several days. left at
1890 this (Monday) morning for WASH
ington in response to an urgent sum-
mons from the White House. While the
Ambassador declined to talk. 1t is known
that he has been summoned to Washing
ton for a conference this morning with
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
As he left the hotel for the station
Mr.. Wilson declined to give his views
as to the call to Washington. In the
corridor of the Waldorf-Astoria rumor
went about that Mr.. Wilson would hear
Of his Official recall from Mexico when
he reached Washington.
Ambassador Wilson admitted as he de-
parted that this rumor had not failed
to reach him. but how much credence
he gave 1t he would not say. He said
that, as a matter of fact. he had not
the faintest idea what news would
greet him on his arrival in Washington.
Mexican officials were among Mr.. Will
sons visitors in the hotel last evening.
One was Consul Ricardo Huerto: an
other was Vice, Consul Jiminez.

BUILDINGS ALWAYS IN MOTION.
From the Christian Herald.

From the Christian Herald.
By day or night a modern city Is never
wholly at rest. A hundred disturbing
factors are constantly setting up curious
vibrations which travel in every direc-
tion. The tracing out of these vibrations
and their accurate measurement is a new
problem among builders. This problem
Of feeling the pulse OF buildings is not
limited to great cities, but often arises
in comparatively small towns throughout
the country. Let a train rush past the
foundations of a high building. or even
a low one. or a powerful windstorm beat
against its walls and the entire structure
may vibrate like a giant tuning fork.
Incidentally, the problem is so well un-
derstoOd that accidents from excessive
vibration are practically unheard of. The
cradle may rock but it never falls.
The measurement of the pulseiike vi
brations is made much the same as those
Of an earthquake and almost as accu-
rately. The marvelously delicate instru-
ments which are depended upon for these
records trace curious pulsing lines which
show at a glance just how wide an arc
the building swings through and how
regular is the recurrence OF the move
ment. These readings are accepted in
court as absolutely conclusive and it is
not uncommon for damage suits involv-
ing Immense sums OF money 10 Dt ue-
cided by these delicate tracings.
Public opinion is all wrong. or nearly
so. as the amplitude OF the vibrations
Of buildings. both large and small. Every
one has felt such vibrations. but ones
sensations are apt to be very misleading.
1t is a surprise to many that the most
violent vibrations are not felt in the
extremely high buildings. as is COM
monty supposed. but in the comparatively
low Office buildings. Gnd as a rule those
of solid construction. A vibration of three
sixteenths Of an inch is extremely vio-
lent, for a movement of one-hundredth
Of an inch is readily noticeable. As the
records show. there Is a peculiar method
OF rhythm in these movements, the build
ing swaying back and forth through a
given arc with the regularity of a PEN
dulum.

Obeying the Law.

Prom the New York Times
A small town in Mississippi passed a
law that no wheelbarrows should be al
lowed on the sidewalks in the business
portion of the city. Soon after the law
was passed one Saturday. which is the
busiest day of the week. while the streets
were crowded. a negro came along the
main street trundling a wheelbarrow
filled with groceries. The city marshal
stopped him, telling him he was under
arrest for pushing his wheelbarrow on
the street. The negro looked at the
officer for n moment. and then. picking
up his little girl. who was walking by
his side, he placed her upon the top Of
the groceries and, turning to the officer.
said:
Go on, white man. Dis here aln't no
whcelbarrow. Dis Is, a baby carridge."

Dining with Dean Swift.

Asparagus il the only cooked Wand We
still eat with our fingers after the fashion
OF the Homeric heroes and the mIoern
Turks. But there is also ''the Dutch
way Of eating asparagus" which Dean
Swift told Stella" that King William
III had taught him. What this Dutch
way" was George Faulkener. the Dublin
pcblisher. discovered when he dined with
Swift and asparagus was served. The
guest asked for a second helping. but
Swift said: Sir. first finish what 10 be-
fore you" "whatr' exclaimed Faulkener,
''eat my stalks," AYE. SIR" said ths
terrible dean in his most imperious man.
rer, ''eat your stalks. or you will have
no more. King William always ate his
stalks" Asked afterward whether he
really did eat the stalks. Faulkener re-
piled. Yes, certainly: and il you had
dired with Dean Swift you would have
teen obliged to eat your stalks. too!''

MEAT IMPORTS
UNDER SCRUTINY
Agents Of Agriculture Depart
ment Are Studying For.
eign Methods.
HEALTH OF LIVE STOCK
Information Wanted So as to Exclude
Diseased and Filthy
Product.

Secretary Of Agriculture Houston. in a
the purposes for which DR.. A. D. Melvin
and DIR. Edward C. Joss. of the Bureau
of Animal Industry OF the department,
were dispatched to South America and
Australia to investigate meat production.
Secretary Houston explained that the
primary object of sending these inspec-
tors abroad Is neither to encourage nor
to discourage the export of meat to the
United States, but to make certain that
the Department of Agriculture under
meat offered for entry into the United
States is produced, slaughtered. packed.
and shipped.
Bad Mcnts Excluded.
"The data gained by these foreign in
spectors will be directly useful TO the
government IN seeing that meat offered
for admission to the country conforms
not only to the meat inspection act, but
also to the food and drugs act, which has
recently been held to have jurisdiction
In interstate commerce over meat and
meat food products" says the Secre-
tary's circular. ARMED with this in
formation. the department can cooperate
effectively with the Secretary OF the
Treasury in keeping out of the United
States all meat produced from diseased
cattle. all meats slaughtered in insani-
tary establishments or improperly re-
frfgerated. packed. and shipped. and all
meat products prepared under conditions
that would not be permitted in the Fed
orally inspected establishments Of the
United States.
THE secondary object of the trip, as
explained in the letter OF instruction to
these inspectors, Is to look into the gen.
eral condition Of the live stock industry
in the foreign countries. the growth of
that industry, the countries to which
they are now exporting live stock and
meat. and the probability of future ship
ments into the United States.
The inspectors also are required to
study the transportation facilities pos
sessed by these foreign packers and ex-
porters OF meat and meat-products. and
to give particular attention to their
method of refrigerating and storing.
Production Below Demand.
This foreign inspection of meat has
become very necessary irrespective OF
changes in the tariff on meat for the
reason that since 1906 the total domestic
production OF cattle has been % per
cent below the actual demand. In other
words. this means that the production
OF cattle has fallen on while the popu-
lation has been increasing. The de-
partment In trying to meet this domestic
situation by carrying on extensive cam
paigns for the eradication of the tick,
which more than anything else has pre-
vented the Southern States from supply
ing the normal yield of meat stock.
The Department OF Agriculture con-
siders II highly important to have full
information about the actual condition
Of meat production to the countries
most likely TO ship to the United States
IN order that 1t may join with the
Treasury Department in excluding all
diseased, filthy and undesirable meat

The Baseball Fan.

From the Manchester Leader-
There is lesson worth while in the
fan. He stands true to the maxim that
while there's life there's hope. He will
not say die so long as there Is a possi-
bility of the hated opponents coming to
grief. the home players getting in touch
with the wizardry of pitching. or the UNI
pires recovering their eyesight and de-
veloping real baseball Judgment. The
lesson is applicable to life everywhere.
The comfort inherent in hope is beyond
measurement.

Almost behind the Laimbeer car was
that Of Mrs. George German Of this city.
Mrs. German was quick to rise to the
emergency and ordered those who had
gotten of the train to place Mr.. and Mrs
Laimbeer in her car. She then instructed
the chauffeur to make all haste to the
Nassau Hotel at Long Beach. which was
made in few minutes
Mr.. and Mrs. Laimbeer were appar-
entity dead. They had left the hotel
but few minutes before. Doctors were
hastily called and the couple carried to
rooms 1t was reported that there had
been two other Passengers in the car.
1t is now known. however, IL this was
true.
A few minutes later It became known
that Mr. Pell was a passenger in the ILL
fated limousine. and then that he was
killed. Mrs. Pell. who heard the news at
the beach, stood by a reporter ut the re-
ceiver OF telephone endeavoring to get
information. When the news came that
Mr.. Pelr was dead she fell In a faint.
Another Reported Hurt.
1t was reported that Mr.. PelIis body
had been carried along on the train and
not discovered for some minutes. 1t was
also said that there had been q third
man In the party, a guest Of Mr.. and
Mrs Laimbeer. and that he had been
killed. but no one was able to verify this.
Mrs. Pell, who knew who composed the
party, was then in a dead faint. Mr..
and Mrs. Laimbeer. under the care of

night reported to be dying.
The train. it was stated. had taken an
injured man on to the city. This could
not be confirmed. The accident cast
damper over the crowd OF society folk
and others at the beach. and the hotel
was besieged with messengers from
Hampstead and other points sent by
friends OF the victims.
William Laimbeer is a stock broker.
and Is prominent socially. His first wife
was Clara Bloodgood, the actress. She
formerly was Natalie Schenck. one of
the famous beauties of New York and

this city. and his brothers are Theodore
Roosevelt PelI and Stephen II. Pell

Townsend Pell. The couple did not get
along well from the early days of their
marriage, and less than two years after
the wedding they separated.

cessful suit for divorce and got the
custody of the child. Mrs. Pell was
remarked on January 81, 1905 the bride

DANGER ON MISSOURI.
River Bank Washing Away En-
dangers Irrigat ti0n Project.


Grand Forks. N. D., Aug. a-By the
changing channel of the Missouri river
north Of wiliiston, N. D., the water
supply for the Williston irrigation pro-
ject. one Of the most important in tire
West. Is threatened.
Army engineers who have investigated
the situation will recommend immediate
steps to build up the bank of the river
and thus prevent the flow of water into
an old channel Of the Missouri. lying
several miles distant from the pumping
station. and which would make the irri-
cation project useless. The bank Is shIw
ly washing away. Only foot or ;w1
more must be washed down before the
river will be in its own channel, which
would carry the water three miles west
of the plant. Extensive revetment work
will be required to prevent heavy losses.
