ELECTRIC EXPOSITION OPENS.

NEW YORK, Oct. -Manufac-
ture Of real United States money;
milking of cows; operation of a min
iature Panama canal, with boats
passing through the locks and the
steering of man-o'-war and firing
of its tiny guns-all by use of cleo
tricity, are some of the modern mar
vels that were to be seen on display
today when the annual electrical ex.
position opened at Grand Central Pal
ace. The money will be made by en-
ployes brought here from the United
States mint at Philadelphia The
Panama canal model through which
miniature boats will pass, has been
on private view at the White House.
To demonstrate electric milking de-
vices several blooded cows are On
view. The farmer adjusts the
mixers, presses button and goes

of the many electrical wonders on

BOTTLING UP BIG RIVERS.

1t has cost $7OOO0OO to bottle up
the water of the Colorado river for
irrigation purposes, but the money
appears to have been well spent.
About 175,000 acres of dry waste land
in the vicinity of Yuma, Ariz., will be
turned from region of fruitless bar
renness into watered area of extreme
fertility capable Of producing corn.
cotton, cattle or whatever else NAV
be grown under temperate tropical
climatic conditions. Orange culture
may possibly be one of the leading
industries. A great tract of coun-
try covered with sand dunes and sage
brush, along the old Santa Fe trail
will soon be made to blossom the year
round to the coaxing of distributed
Colorado .refreshment. OF all the ir-
rigation schemes undertaken with the
aid of the federal government this
Arizona venture seems to promise
the. most satisfactory return.
Grave engineering problems have
been successfully solved in getting
the water in the main canal on the
California side of the Colorado river
ACROSS to the Arizona side. This in
volved the construction Of an 800-foot
tunnel and carrying the water thru
siphon sixty feet below the bed Of
the river. Now that the work has
been completed farmer emigrants
from all parts of the country are rap
idly buying up the irrigable land.
Eventually the sale of the land and
water will reimburse the federal
treasury for the original outlay. The
public money has seldom been ex-
pended to better purpose or with
more encouraging promise Of opulcnt
return and continuing beneficient re-

SEX OF UNBORN BABES MAY
BE DETERMINED BY CALENDER

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Sex may only
be a matter of seasons and the sex
of an unborn babe be determined by
the aid of the calendar and few
simple scientific facts, according to
DR.. Oscor Riddle, research associate
of the Carnegie institute.
DR.. Riddle announced today the re-
suit of series of experiments he
has been making with pigeons by
which the sex of birds produced from
various eggs could be determined in
advance. His experiments, he says,
determined that eggs laid in the
spring and early summer, when the
parent birds were at the height Of
their vigor, invariably produced
males.
''That the sex of human progeny
may be similarly controlled it is yet
impossible to say" said DR.. Riddle.
"The results of these experiments
with birds, however, suggest a means
of accomplishing the result"

EXPRESS REDUCTIONS
EFFECTIVE TODAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 1B.--
Sweeping reductions in express RATES
over the entire country became a.
fective today upon an order Of the in
terstate commerce commission. The
reductions ranged from about Is 70
nearly 125 per cent in some instane-
es, and will mean saving Of @26,-
100000 annually to the people.
The new rates are to be tried out"
two years. They may then become
permanent if the commission finds
they are not too great handicap
upon the express companies in their
competition with the parcel post. The
reductions today are the end Of .
long fight by the express companies,
aided, it has been charged BY The
railroads. For over year they have
been held up pending further invss-
tigation by the commission. Rates
on packages weighing fifty pounds
or less have been practically al ~
duced. One hundred pound rates for
instance have been left intact In most
cases. In comparison with parcel
post rates all packages weighing over
four pounds will go cheaper than BY
parcel post when travelling from 200
to 5000 miles. Under and over those
conditions the rates are practically
parallel. The commission contsnds
these conditions the rates are practi-
cally parallel. The commission con-

VICE DISTRICT OF DETROIT
CLOSED; 1000 AFFECTED
United Press.

United Press.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 15.-Com-
mercialized vice officially went out of
existence in Detroit today. By order
of Police Commissioner John Giles
pie, every resort in the city was
forced to close and its inmates either
leave Detroit, or find some lawful
means Of support. 1t is estimated
that 1000 women are affected by
the order.
After several months careful study
and investigation of conditions in
other cities, the police commissioner
determined upon abolition rather
than segregation of vice in Detroit.
However, he has openly announced
that the police department will not
concern itself with what becomes of
the women who are thus forced to
abandon their profession"
The work of reformation has been
undertaken by committee made up
of members of the Detroit chamber
of commerce, church organizations
and other societies interested in the
subject. This committee has arrang-
ed to feed, clothe and educate in
local institution, all former resort
inmates who may come to it for aid,
until such time as they are physi-
cally and morally fitted to go into the
world and earn a lawful living. As
an alternative, the committee has Of
fered to furnish railroad transpor-
tation to all former resort inmates
who may desire to go to their homes.

liner IN PORT WITH
SURVIVORS ABOARD
SECOND OFFICER OF VOLTURNO TELLS OF FIGHT
OF CREW TO SAVE THE LIVES OF PASSENGERS
---CARMANIA SENT NO BOATS TO RESCUE
United Press.

United Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The liner
Grosser Kurfurst, with 105 Volturno
survivors aboard arrived here this
morning and docked Immediately
Second Officer Lloyd of the Vol
turno said after the vessels life
boats were smashed Captain Inch
Friday morning sent the following
wireless message to the rescuing
liners:
my God We can't stand this long.
Our boats are gone. Send us boats"
The liners replied. "We'v tried our
best but the sea is too heavy; boats
can't live"
Inch then turned to his crew and
shouted Well show them" and
called for volunteers to man another
lifeboat despite almost certain death
Many volunteered, and Lloyd and four
sailors were chose and the boat was
lowered over the side of the ship.
"The waves were terrific" said
Lloyd. while the men rowed l kept
flashing pocket light. We had an
awful struggle for miles but made it,
and we showed 'em. When we reach
ed the Kurfurst we were hauled up
just as the lifeboat sank under our
feet. We had shown them that boats
could live and Immediately several
were lowered from different vessels,
and the saving of lives began"
Asked why the Carmania saved on
ly one, Lloyd replied:
God only knows. The Carmania
lowered no boats, even after we had
shown the way"
He denied the crew of the Vol
turno showed cowardice or that the
captain drew revolver, saying that
Inch carried no gun, and could not
have used one anyway as the smoke
and flames blinded him.
He declared the first life boat
lowered from the Volturno swept
under the propeller and was chopped
to pieces, the occupants being liter
ally cut up. The second boat, he
said, was quickly swamped and the
occupants drowned. He said the
crew fought the fire until the steam
and water was cut off by the flames.
Chief Wireless Operator Gerick of
the Kurfurst said the sea was des-
perately heavy Friday morning. He
said Captain Spangenburg of the
Kurfurst called for volunteers to aid
in the rescue work and the entire
crew stepped forward as single
man.

PART OF A PROGRAM.

There are 100000 people in the
territory from the western boundary
of Texas and south of the Ohio river,
embracing most of the Southern
states. Thousands of them from Texas
spend their summers in Colorado.
Save scattering few, the others have
never seen the Rocky Mountains.
They make for the lake resorts of
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan,
where they are glad to get away from
the debilitating heat and humidity of
the southern summer season.
They are not looking for winter re-
sorts, for their own climate is COM
paratively mild. That is reason
they do not go to California, because
they can get little there they do not
have at home. But the pity of it
is, first for themselves and then for
Colorado, that they are not informed
of the glorious beauties and cooling
nights of a Colorado summer. They
know next to nothing of the grandeur
of our mountain scenery or of the
other multitude of attractions that
fairly smother this favored state.
Suppose, as part of set program,
that the work of inducing some Of
those millions to come to Colorado
in summer, not for day or a week
but for 100 days, as many of them
spend now at the eastern lake and
sea side resorts, was undertaken in
earnest. Suppose that an intelligently
directed and concentrated effort was
made to tell them of what Colorado
has and how pleasant their sojourn
here would be from every angle Of
comfort and health building. Suppose
that this one idea was taken up and
handled exclusively, if for no other
reason than that of experiment. Isn't
it likely we could change some of
the tide of that traffic from the east
to the west? And when we had once
turned it, isn't it more than prob
able it will continue to flow this way
for many years to come?
1t is getting fixed in the local pub
lie mind that what we need here is
concrete and intelligent action in
advertising our varied and invaluable
resources. We have tried the spas
modic and it is clearly inefficient.
Why not try the other and better
plan? Denver News.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 49,
Reports indicate the Mexican crisis
is near. A severance of diplomatic
relations is possible, and the admins
tration is admittingly considering
recognition of the constitutionalists
permitting them to import arms.
The government feels that Huerta
does not intend to relinquish his
power. The approaching crisis is
said not To have any military con-
nection to the two countries and the
president is not considering inter-
vention, unless Huerta's coup results
in wholesale massacre of foreign

TILLMAN INSERTS HUMOR
IN CONGRESSIONAL RECORD

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.--
Senator Tillman introduced another
novelty in the Congressional Record
today when he had read and inserted
a bit of doggerel verse on the effect
of dyed wool, written by his prede-
cessor, Senator Vance, in 1889. Till
man discovered humor is no longer
appreciated.
The verse which faithful record
said convulsed the senate in '89, did
MT draw peep in 1918. Senator
Smoot yawned, Ollie James waved a
fly off his bald head, Senator Ham
Lewis fondled his necktie.
The verse was a parody on Mary
Had Little Lamb. Last week Till
man inserted in the Record the first
cartoon that ever appeared there.
