COMMITTEE FAILS To ACT
ON EXCISE SELECTIONS
Nominations of Lord, Smith
and Sheehy Are Not Given
Consideration.

The Senate District committee today
again failed to take action on the nomi-
nations Of Frank B. Lord, Gen. r. G.
Smith and Joseph c.. Sheehy as mem
bers OF the new excise commission of the
District
After the meeting Of the committee.
Chairman Smith said that the postpone
ment was Que to the fact that the men,
bers did not feel ready yet to act upon
these nominations.
1t Is understood that the delay was due
to the fact that the committee diA noi
wish to embarrass the President in re-
gard to the nom. nation of Mir. Lord, bur
wished to give the President further time
to look into the charges which have been
filed against him by the Anu-SaiOun
League and other temperance forces OF
the District. The President has been very
busy with other matters ever since his
return to Washington, and, it Is under
stood. has had no time to give TO the
consideration of Mr.. Lord case.
No Opposition to Others.
There is no opposition to the contirma-
ton Of Gen. Smith and Mr.. Sheehy, il is
understood, but the committee decided
not to take any action upon them unit.
after the Lord matter had been settled.
Some of the individual members OF
the committee have heard protests
against the confirmation of Gen.
smith, but nothing has been filed with
the committee against him. 1t Is said.
Chairman Smith said today that the
subcommittee appointed to look into
plans for the elimination Of the slums
in Washington probably would be
called together before long, but that no
date had yet been set for meeting
When the committee adjourned to-
day 1T was TO meet at the call of the
chairman Senator Smith said that he
could not now say how soon he would
call another meeting to take up the
excise board nominations. There was
barely a quorum present today when
the meeting adjourned.

SING SING MUT|NEERS
ARE TAKEN TO AUBURN
Warden Expects Transfer Of
Second-T Term Men to Re-
store Discipline In Prison.

OSSINING. N. Y. July 25.-Sixty con-
victs. the dregs Of the New York city
criminal class, were taken. one by one.
from the cells in Sing Sing prison today
and placed aboard a train for the state
prison at Auburn. Recent riots In Sing
Sing caused the warden to take no
chances Each convict was heavily hand
cuffed and shackled and then chained to
his place in the railroad car which had
been brought inside the prison inclosure.
A hundred prison guards did This work.
while in the state armOry not far ava,
a company of naval militia waited for a
call to protect the town In case the trans
fer of convlcts resulted in a prison mu-
tiny.
Sleepless Night in Prison.
There was little sleep In the prison last
night At intervals some Of the prisoners
would start to howl and bang on their
cell doors. The din would increase as 1t
was taken up down the line of cells and
continue until the angry convicts had
worn themselves out. It was scarcely
daylight when the weary night SHIFT OF
guards was relieved by the keepe:s Who
had charge of transferring the sixty Sec
Ond-term men to Auburn.
When the first convicts were brought
out to the car Sing Sing suddenly awoke
to their cell windows and cursed anu
hoWled and yelled threats at the keepers.
Train Heavily Guarded.
The task Of the prison authorities was
by no means over when they got the
prisoners aboard the car. On the train
to which this car was attached they ex-
pected to find friends and relatives OF
the convicts, and threats had been made
that attempts C release the second-term
men might be looked for anywhere be-
tween Ossining and Auburn. For this
reason there were almost as many guar
dians on the train as there were cOnvlcts.
The town Of Ossining last night and this
morning was full OF men breathing ven-
geance against the prison authorities.
After he has rid the prison Of the Sec
ond-term men to be transferred to Au-
burn. Warden Clancy expects to have no
moro trouble keep .ng order. The rest OF
the second-ter convicts are to be sent
away tomorrow. To them and few OF
their more desperate sympathizers the
warden attributes the mutinies that broke
out at Sing Sing this week, the two nres
in the prison shops and the attempt to
murder a negro convict whom the mutt
7eers regarded as q traitor.

The Secret Of Dry Farming.

When rain falls it does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores its way
in. forming tiny tubes. These tubes
are SO small that 1t would be impos'
sible to insert a hair in one of them
without bursting its walls. Sometimes
the tubes are bored down to a depth
of four or five feet. When the surface
dries, the water evaporates from the
tubes Just as it would from pipe. II
the tube is twisted 1t takes longer
for the water to evaporate. II one
takes a rake and stirs the ground aft
er each rain. he breaks the tops Of the
tubes, and the water will stand in
them for months. In this way the
farmers OF the west. on the semi-arid
lands, store the rainfall one year. and
raise a crop OF wheat every other
year-there being sufficient water in
two years. but not enough in one. to
raise a crop

From 1899 to 1902 the United States
bureau OF education introduced 1880
European reindeer into Alaska at n
time when the natives were threaten
ed with starvation. At the present
time these herds have increased to
a total Of 33.629 head. Their meat
is in great demand by both whites and
natives. and their skins supply the
best winter clothing. 1t is expected
that the expectation of reindeer meat
will soon become an important indus
try. Above ALL the reindeer has
proved most efficient civilizing
agency. The success of the Alaskan
reindeer enterprise induced Dr. Will
fred Grenfell. In 1908. to import 300
reindeer from Lapland into Labrador
where they have now increased to
about 1000. and are great boon to
the natives. Last year the Canadian
government bought so OF DR.. Gren-

when optimism should be the domin-
