MANY USELESS
PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.

There is a periodical complaint OF
the useless expenditure of money by
the governments in printing ponderous
volumes which often become junk
withouO having been removed from
their original wrappings.
The joint committee on printing
of the two houses of Congress is
preparing to launch an extensive
investigation of The government print
ing office. The committee was sche-
ruled to start the inquiry today. 1t is
said that Congress wastes as high as
$1,OOO,OOO a year in the printing OF
useless documents which nobody J
reads.
The annual report of the House
bookkeeper shows that millions of
documents are stored in the Capitol
basement, and ultimately must be
disposed of as waste paper. Some OF
these documents are bound books,
running from 200 10 500 pages. 1t is
planned to effect reforms which will
prevenp any but useful documents be-
ing printed.
Visitors to secondhand stores and
junk shops often see large, finely
printed and handsome volumes from
tihe government printing office await
ing a time to be conveyed to paper
mills, where they are ground up to
rc-appear in more interesting ana
saleable books.

ELOPERS USE
AN AEROPLANE.

One of the thrilling stories of
the Arabian Nights Entertainment IS
the account of prince clipping with :
princess on a wooden horse which
made an aerial flight. This cnchant-
ed steed was brought to the court OF
an oriental king by an East lndiaman,
who in order to test its wonderful!
powers, mounted the representation
of Pegasus, turned peg behind one
of its ears and was soon sailing over
the heads of the spectators. Later
the kings son secured the horse and
used it in carrying OH a princess
from another court who ha; won his
heart.
Many now in the sere and yellow
leaf who read this interesting story
in childhood never dreamed they
would live to see the time when an
elopement would actually take place
in such wonderful manner, but the
twentieth century abounds in Won
ders and the following shows that the
author of the Thousand and One
Nights was only little too previous.
An elopement by areoplanc, when
has yet some features of the old-time
elopement, is reported from Mort,
France.

looking young airman was giving eX,

Nothing Left to Tell the Tale
of the Tragedy.
ENTIRE CREW IS MISSING
It Probably Numbered From
s5 to 40 Men.
1t Is Thought They Had No
Chance to Escape.

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 11.-When
the tug Sarnia City returned this fore
noon after an all night watch over the
big steel freighter which lies upside
down In Lake Huron, she brought no
additional information as to the iden-
tity of the unfortunate vessel. The
name of the derelict remains far be-
meath the water and the waves are
still rolling high.
The fact that the huge vessel is ly-
ing bottom up eight miles out in the
storm swept lake. has convinced To-
cal mariners that the ships crew
numbering from 25 to 40 had practi-
cally no chance to escape.
Captain Reid Of the tug returned
more firm than ever in his belief that
all of the 30 or 40 members of the crew
Of the 600 foot freighter must have
been drowned. Captain Plough, in
charge of the local life saving station
left this morning with his crew fol
the scene Of the wreck. Searching par
ties were also organized to patrol the
shore in search of wreckage.
Reports indicate that a shifting OF
cargo may have been responsible fol
the accident.

THAT LEWIS letter.
The President Has suadertaken a
Investigation Of the Matter.

Washington. Nov 11.-Henry M.
Pindell of Peoria. Ill. selected for
ambassador to Russia, Secretary
Bryan and Samuel M. Graham, assist
ant attorney general, went into con-
ference with President Wilson early
today concerning publication of a
letter purporting to have been writ
ten by Senator Lewis to Mr.. Pindell,
offering the latter the st. Petersburg
post on condition that he resign at the
end of one year.
President Wilson has indicated he
would investigate all the circum-
stances connected with the letter, and
the summoning of Mr.. Graham was
taken as an indication that the de-
partment of justice might look into
the affair. Intimations had come
from Mr.. Pindell that the letter was
forgery. The Russian government
already has notified the state depart
ment that Mr.. Pindell would be per-
soma grata.

Reminds the Mexican President
of His Position.
FAILURE TO ABIDE BY ELECTION
Leaves Nations Free to Recon
slider Act of Recognition.
Diplomacy Has Other Re-
sources Than Mere Force.

London, Nov. IA significant warn
ing to President Huerta was issued To-
day by the Westminster Gazette, the
government newspaper. Commenting
on Premier Asquith's Guild hall speech
in which he made it plain that no an
tagonism exists between England ana
the United States in regard to Mexico
the Gazette says:
The idea that any valid election
in the sense in. which democrat or cOns
gressional countries understand the
word, can be held In Mexico, is probably
a diplomatic fiction. bu the electoral
test was Of General Huerta's own
choosing and it is well to keep him
reminded that his failure to conform
to its result leaves all governments
free to reconsider their act of recognt-
ton.
Briefly the limits of British action
are that the British government should
not put itself in a position Of making
protests which in default OF forctble
action might be f1outed and def1ed.
But diplomacy has other sources than
mere force and Provisional President
Huerta may easily find that the atti-
tude of this country is in variety OF
ways a matter of great moment to
him."
No More Warships to Mexico.
Berlin, Nov. lit was officially
declared at the foreign office here to-
day that the German government does

are not to visit Mexico" it was stated.
Their cruise is for purely technical

learned there has been no specific re-
quest for support by the powers. but
there has been a plain intimation that

With the intention to regard ~ IL

OBJECTS TO CONFUSION
Samuel Gompers Opposes
Laws Requiring Labor and
Capital to Arbitrate.

NEW YORK. January 29.-Compul-
sorry arbitration was denounced today
by Samuel Gompers., president of the
American Federation Of Labor. in d
speech before the annual meeting of the
National CiNic Federation. Mr.. Com
pers declared that the workers never
would submit to arbitration such as
that proposed by bills now before the
New York state legislature.
Il agree with YOU as to the desirabllty
of preventing d strike, he said, but
don't imagine YOU are going TO escape
them by attempting to make perfectly
natural activities unlawful.
The attempt TO get away from strikes
by the methods proposed is simply the
attempt TO compress steam or power in
d too limited space. You may do that for
while, but you will have an explosion
from which no power on earth is potent
to protect.
you may make the stoppage OF WORK
illegal, but you won't stop the assertion
of the right of workers to stop working.
You want to get away from the turmoils
resultant from industrial creditors and |
want to join you in that, but for heavens
sake, don't burden laws or our sys-
tenn or our lives with conditions that will
make our troubles a thousandfold more
