Lazy Husbands Pull stumps.

Preparing to enforce the lazy bus-
bands law and to provide work for
county prisoners. Sheriff Cudihee and
the board Of commissioners are ar
ranging for the construction Of q
stockade on 66 acres Of county land
north Of Seattle.
A delegation Of club women and
others urged the board to provide out
door work for the moral and physical
welfare Of the prisoners. The new
system will. mean the employment OF
four or five guards and a cook and
the construction Of q stockade and
fence. A stump puller and donkey
engine will be put into commission.
The lazy husbands law is expected
to increase the number of county
prisoners. as the prosecuting attorney
was bombarded with inquiries from
anxious wives as to when the law will
take effect.
It provides for imprisonment, trial
and punishment Of husbands who neg
lect or refuse to work and support
their families.-New York Sun.

Fasteners are rushing to the de-
tense of Judge Lindsey in the con-
templated recall proceedings. Judge
has made them believe that he is
the victim of a conspiracy. While
from this angle of view there does
not appear to be much likelihood of
any action being taken to remove
Lindsey from office, does seem that
something should be done to compel
him to fill his office and not be run
ming about the country, neglecting
his official duties. If his lecturing
interferes with his office, the proper
course for him to take lis to resign.

ORIGIN OF THE SHIP SCREW
DIsmantisd Bark Was Propelled "a
Port BY Entansisd Whale, 40
eordlno 70 story.

Johann van den Brock, who arrived
the other day from Java on his way
home to Zaandam, Holland, to see his
family, said that his grandfather. Cor
nelius van den Brock, was the first
man to have the idea of screw pro-
pellers for steamships instead of side
wheels.
ut was in 1888. have been told"
said Mr.. van den Broeck at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, the New York Times
says, that my grandfather command
ed stout old Dutch bark of 900 tons,
sailing from Amsterdam to the East
Indies. The Groote Marie she was
called. In trying to weather the Cape
of Good Hope the bark was dismast-
ed, and, like the Flying Dutchman Of
Vanderdecken, 1t looked as If the
Groote Marie would spend her days to-
the crack of doom trying to get around
to the Indian ocean on her way to
Java. One stormy afternoon the bark
was suddenly rocked by a crashing
blow on her high square wooden
stern.
THE captain and his officers, with
the crew on deck, rushed and saw that
the Groote Marie had been hit by a
whale which had stuck fast in the tim
bers and was slashing the sea wish
its tail to get free.
"The water began pouring into the
after hold and Capt van den Brock
ordered the after hatch to be taken
off to see how much water was COM
ing in. Directly the hatch covers were
removed. the enormous head of the
whale could be seen in the gloom OF
the hold, and he started to blow the
water out through the open hatch as
fast as it poured in, SO my grandfa-
ther said. ahd in his struggle to re-
lease himself the whale propelled the
bark ahead at seven knots an hour
into Cape Town harbor."
Mr.. van den Brock added that his
grandfather tried to get some of the
Dutch merchants in Cape Town to
take an interest in patenting pro-
peller for use on steamers instead Of
paddle wheels, as the Cunard line
then had on the Atlantic. but they
shook their heads and said they had
little faith In steam and prophesied
that canvas would still be the motive
power for ships.
When Capt. van den Brock re-
turned to Amsterdam his brother skip
pers. who assembled daily in the old
cafe in the Prins Hendrix Gracht.
laughed at his yarn and said that the
captain had taken too much Schiedam
one night and dreamed the whale

BLOW TO WOMEN'S COLLEGE
Measure Granting 1t Right of Emf

New London, Conn. Feb. l0-The grant
ing Of the right of eminent domain to the
Connecticut College for Women at New
London by the Gehcral Assembly Of 1911
is held to have been an unconstitutional
act in decision just handed down by
Judge William S. Case, Of the Superior
Court.
The finding was made in sustaining a
demurrer by jeremiah &. Calvert. whose
land the trustees of the college sought to
take by eminent domain. The question
will be carried to the Supreme Court Of
the state. The measure was signed by
Governor Simeon T.. Baldwin. who was
once chief justice Of the state.
In his finding Judge Case says:
IF the right may be conferred ON a purely
private corporation engaged in project
for the higher. education OF women. il is
difficult TO see why chartered hotel
company should not fairly demand the
