BRYAN AND GARRISON
 FAVOR HALF HOLIDAYS

WASHINGTON, May IT. - secre. tary of State William J. Bryan, Sec retary of War Lindley M. Garrison and Secretary Walcott, of the Smith sonian Institution, favor Saturday half holidays for government workers during May, June, July, August and September.
 Each of these officials has, it is un- derstood, written a letter to Secre- tary of Commerce William c. Redfield, indorsing the movement, and declar- ing their individual support for the proposition.
 The Secretary of Commerce is re- ceiving hundreds of letters daily con- graduating him on his stand for the clerks. It seems probable that this latest move for half-holidays, given definite form by Secretary Redfield, will result in speedy action.

NEAH BAY INDIANS
 DISLIKE ACHIEVEMENT

The Indians of Neah Bay are in- dignant because they are now denied the privilege of hunting fur seal in the waters of the open ocean off this coast and off the coast of Vancouver Island. The same prohibition is laid on the other coast Indians. A share of their livlihood is thus taken away from them.
 The Indians of the tribes along the Strait of Fuca and along the coast have always been self-suporting. They have received practically nothing from the government, save the privileges of occupying the lands which have been in the possession of their tribes from time immemorial. They draw their living in great part from the water. Long before the first white settlers established homes in this state these Indians hunted for seal, while the herds were making their annual mi grafton to the breeding islands in Bering Sea. In their canoes, and armed with bone-headed spears, they killed the seal, going off the coast twenty or thirty miles and staying out for days at a time. Not only the Makahs of Neah Bay, but the Outlay utes and Quinaults were seal hunters.
 Until recent years the seal hunt brought to these tribes more money than any other pursuit. The sale of | fur seal skins, taken by them on the high seas, furnished the money on which they lived Some years since the thrifty Indians of Neah Bay pooled their savings and purchased schoon- CTS in which to follow the seal, as an advance over the former method of hunting from canoes alone. In en- forcing the rigid law framed to pro- tect the monopoly of company of San Francisco traders, these schooners were seized and sold and their own CTS ruined. While compensation has been made to Canadians whose schooners were seized under identical conditions, not a dollar has ever been repaid to these wards of the govern men, whose thrift was so severely penalized. Now they are denied the privilege of hunting the seal even in their canoes and with their original and primitive implements of the chase, the bone-headed spears. It seems a hard case.-Seattle Post-In telligencer.

BIBLE STOPS BULLET
SAVES MANS LIFE

Blairsville, Pa, Dec. 23.-What is be-
lieved to have been a deliberate at
tempt to assassinate the Rev. DR.. r. L.
Mcclure, pastor Of tie Blairsvillt'
United Presbyterian church and presi-
dent of the Indiana County Anti-Saloon
league, failed last night, when a bull
let fired at the minister penetrated
Bible, which he carried under his arm
and made slight abrasion upon DR.,
McClure's left side. The authorities
are searching for two men, one OF
whom flied two shots at the clergyman
and dropded his hat in escaping.
DR.. Mcclure had made a sick call
and was returning to his home. He
visited his church to secure his Bible,
left there after Wednesday nights SER
vices. AS the minister reached Sturst
street, leading to his home he saw two
men standing some distance away.
AS DR.. Mcclure approached them, a
whistle sounded, and one of the men
raised a revolver and fred. The bullet
went wild. The minister picked up a
stone and hurled it at the men and ran
toward them. As the assailants re-
treated the one with the revolver trip
ped and fell
Before DIR. Mcclure could reach hin
' the man had regained his feet and fired
a second time, this bullet tearing
through the minister's Bible and cloth
ing. Both men then fed, and DR.. Nc.
Clure continued to his home, frorn
which place he notified the police.
Or. Mcclure has been pastor OF the
United Presbyterian church for q
years. He is widely known over this
section Of Pennsylvania through his
activity in anti-saloon crusades.

Quitman, Ca, Dec 23.-Grassy pond,
one mile long, and Octohatchee lake,
five miles, lying partly in Lowndes and
partly in Jefferson county, Fla, are
draining again into the underground
river which is their outlet. Brooks
county sportsmen returning from a
trip to Florida report observing this
phenomenon which is familiar to peo-
pie in this section.
There are number of ponds and
lakes throughout this section, all Of
which seem to have an outlet for their
waters in underground rivers. When
there is a season of dry weather, which
run low these ponds and lakes drain
of.
Dry Lake, in this county, is about
one mile long. 1t drained off month
ago. The Grassy pond and Octahat-
chez are lower and consequently the
low level of water is reaching them.
Local people say they expect to hear
that the big Miccasouki lake, the larg-
est of them all, is draining off also.
This lake is nine miles long and is in
Leon county, Fla, near Madison.
The last time those lakes and ponds
ran off into the underground rivers
was in 1911. The Missacouki lake has
no stream feeding it and appears to
be the water backing up from the I'M
foreground river. In the deepest part
there is a whirlpool movement. When
the lake refills the water comes up
through this opening. There is large
creek feeding both the Grassy pon1
and the Octahatchee and when the
waters of these bodies run off the
cresks continue to flow through the

Common Marriage Ldw
Knocks Out Eugenics,
Says Western Lqwger

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 23.-The Wis
cousin eugenic marriage law, which
will go into effect January l, which
has created statewide discussion for
several weeks, was pronounced useless
by Horace B. Walmsley, leading
member of the bar, in a statement
made public today
"All that is required in this state is
that two persons who are not married
at the time, agree to accept each other
as mates,'' Mr.. Walmsley said, "No
service is necessary and the physical
examination required by the late Law
cannot be enforced"
The contention of Mr.. Walmsley Is
based on decision of the state SUI
preme court which says that any man
or woman not married at the time may
make a legal and valid contract OIL
marriage without any license, medical
examination, priest, clergyman or mag
istrate. All thot is required Is thai
two persons agree to take each othe.
as man and wife and begin to live to-
gether in that relation.
