Water OWNERS Fail
To Perform Correctly

LONDON. MAY 4-FoIlowing up the
water divining experiments recently
made in France. similar trials were
held recently in Guildford. These tests
apparently were taken seriously on the
other side of the channel. but the au-
thorities organizing the English trials
were skeptiCal. and their doubts of the
value Of water divininG were removed
by the results.
Three sites were selected for expert
ments. The first is crossed by sewer
and consists Of bed of gravel which
must contain water, since London clay
lies under II. The second forms the ton
OF a small covered reservoir, the water
from which was Intentionally run Cff.
In the third there is a sewer and also
a spring. which. when discovered a few
years ago. was yielding about 5O.Tp saI-
IONS an hour.
The committee report on the trials
SAYS that not only did the seven divin.rs
participating in the proceedings disagree
with one another. but only one found
water over the middle reservoir. The m
spring. If they recognized the eNistence
Of anything OF the kind was, to saw the

The conclusions of the committee are
that whatever constituencies 10 under

sons IL is not sufficiently Trustworthy

mentors shows that 1t is more m,t;er

VARDAMAN TO PRESS
AMENDMENT REPEAL
Mississippi Senator Declares
Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Never Legally Ratified.

Following up his resolutions for the
repeal Of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution. Sem
ator vardaman of Mississippi declares
they never were legally ratified. .
b He says he viii press for repeal Of
the amendments and that his heart is
in the effort. He alleges there is an
increase of crime among the colored
race and that that race furnishes 80
per cent of .he crime here.
Senator Vardaman's statement as
serts:
Crime statistics show the necessity
fer action. We must recognize racial
differences. In Pennsylvania, where
the colored are about per cent of the
total population. more than :. ser cent
OF the male and 30 per cent of the fe-
male criminals are colored.
In the city Of Washington, the seat
Of the National Government, .he col
ored people are IS per cent of the TO-
tai population, and they furnish 81 Ter
cent of the criminals. II is a dlscour-
aging fact that each decade shows an
increase of crime among colored peo-
pie.
The only solution OF the problem is
a practical application of the law to
restrain the criminal tendency OF the
race and fix its status in society. This
cannot be done until the amendments
referred TO are repealed. | am going
TO press this matter before Congress
at the proper time. And | am going

LONDON. May 4-Tom Burrows. an

swinging a pair of three and one-half-
pound Indian clubs for l67 hours with
out rest or sleep. The Australian at
tracted big crowds. He started for a
continuous record of 100 hours, but wa.
going so strong at the end of that time
that he kept on.
Six hours afterward he had to fight
drowsiness desperately and bands and
buglers play ragtime airs. which. with
doses OF stronk tea and the application
of cold sponge TO his head kept him
awake.
An hour later Burrows was SLOWLY
moving the clubs. when his trainer
slapped cold sponge TO the back of his
neck. Like demon Burrows went
into an immediate delirium. and
slashed out with the clubs toward any
one he could reach. He dropped ths

"WHY MUST A BOSS

Governor Su1zer having declared war against the
Murphy legislature, that distinguished aggregation
of constructive craftsmanship in its last hours passed
a resolution under which an anti-Sulzer commission
is created cruise about the realm of State affairs
and look for defects in the Sulzer administration.
Maybe son ething awfully wicked can be turned up
on the strength Of which the ant-machine governor
can be impeached!
Yes indeed. We are reminded of the late cam
paign fund investigation that the United States
Senate arranged with the expectation that it would
turn up lot of material to the everlasting dscredit
of Theodore Roosevelt. When it was all over,
Roosevelt was about the one individual who came
out with a whole hide. The Sulzer investigation
will likely hurt the governor in much the same way
Once more we echo the New York World: why

CURRENCY AND BANKING LEGISLATION

There is a widespread impression that if Presi-
dent Wilson insists On currency legislation at the
present session there will be much opposition, and
that Republican and Progressive Senator'S at least
will line up against any currency bill the Adminstra-
ton may bring forth.
Ii is not going to be easy for public men to ex-
plain such an attitude before the country. On the
one side we hear various critics of the Democratic
tariff measure predicting that its passage will bring
hard times, perhaps something like panic. 1t
seems universally agreed that our currency system
is not calculated to the country best in such
emergency. Therefore it would seem the part of
patriotism maybe not of partisanship-for Con-
gress to do what it can, by improving the currency
system, to cushion the snock which gentlemen claim
is ahead.
II the critics of the tariff legislation are honest
in their belief that an industrial depression will
follow the tariff legislation; and it, believing this,
they refuse to take such measures will minimize
the unfortunate effects of that depression, then they
would seemeto prefer that the country get just as
much trouble as possible.
That is hardly patriotic, broad or fair to the
public. 1t is not the business of public menpublic
sevants-to punish the public for its failure or
refusal to agree with them. 1t may be in error but
the last people who ought to assume responsibility
for dsciplining it are the men whom it commissions
to look after its business.

,FoREcAsTING EARTHQUAKES.

A number of years ago great earthquake oc-
CURED in Chile. Later the California earthquake
wrought havoc at San Francisco. On the day after
the San Francisco disaster eminent American
geologist pointed out that the continental backbone
of the three Americas, following the Andes in
South America and the coast ranges in this country
& great fault line, along which readjustments
of the earths crust were liable to produce earth
quakes. He pointed out that, there having been
a slipping and readjusment in the southern section
CT the fault line, and then corresponding one in
the northern section, it was reasonable to presume
that the middle area would presently have its cor
responding disturbance. He declined to predict but
his analysis widely presented prediction,
and before many months had passed the thing actu-
ally happened, in the exact region ne had Indicated
the west coast of Mexico and Central America.
Predicting earthquakes has not been very much
attempted; but this case presents instance of
scientific knowledge at least guessing right There
fore especial interest must attach to the suggestion
of Prof George Hallock Chadwick, who occupies
the chair of geology of Saint Lawrence University
He points out, first, that there is ancient line
of fault through the Appalachian region, from
Quebec to Alabama. In 1868 tremendously violent
earthquake shook the upper parts of this region; );
and Prof. Chadwick by the same analogy that made
a prediction of the Mexico shock, declares there is
possibility of more shocks along this Appalachian
line
The Appaachians are far older mountain
system than the Rockies and Andes Therefore, their
area IS less liable to earthquakes. But it has had
widespread and destructive shocks in the past and
il is not be presumed that exemption for all the
future is assured Ceologically 1868 is not far in
the past.
