PUTS OUT PETROLEUM FIRES
caustlc Soda Solution Mixed With
Alum Is Found to Be Most
Efficaclous.

There are no fires more disastrous
than those in which petroleum min.
eral essences, benzoin, ETC., play a
part, on account of the difficulty of
getting them under control. No real
ly efficacious method has ever been
put into use to extinguish fires OF
hydro-carbonic origin. Water is ut
terly useless. Danger may be at
times reduced to a minimum by pre-.
venting contact of air with the flame,
choking it between blankets, mats,
damp cloth, earth, or sand, but this
is by no means always sufficient. For
this reason scientists are interested
in some experiments made recently In
German laboratories bearing on the
possibility of controlling fires of vary.
ing chemical origin. 1t is said that
if a stated quantity of caustic soda
solution be mixed with an equal quan.
tity of alum 1t forms a dough-or NOR.
tar-fifteen times as great as the or.
iginal single quantities. This dough
is very light and foamy. If this sub.
stance be flung over the petroleum,
ETC., and the entrance Of air impeded,
the fire will at once be put out.
An experiment was lately tried In
Germany to establish these facts be.
yond question. An improvised fire
extending over four cubic milllmeters
was extinguished in less than two
minutes by an eighty-per cent. solu
tion of the above mentioned sub
stance.

w. Va. Strike to Be Probed.

Senator Kern of Indiana announced
his determination to secure congress
sional inquiry into the conditions Of
alleged peonage, terrorism and sus-
pension of civil rights in the coal
fields of West Virginia.
This announcement by the senator
from Indiana followed the receipt of
telegram from ex-senator Watson Of
West Virginia requesting that the pro-
posed investigation be dropped. Mr..
Watson called attention to the fact
that the strike was over and an in
Quiry would not result in any good,
In making known his intention to
secure a probe Senator Kern said:
"The strike is not the question here.
Peonage is the question. Representa-
tions of the hunting of men across the
hills as though they were escaped con-
victs or wild beasts is the question
and we are going to have an inquiry.
Charges of violation of contract
labor laws and the use of martial law
are among the things we will probe. l
propose to have it shown that when
federal experts investigated the con-
ditions last year, whole pages of the
report were suppressed by the depart
ment of commerce and labor"

NOTED POET WELL GUARDED
Social Intercourse by His
Eccentric Wife.

!:he famous poet Of Denmark, Palu-
dan-Muller, was closely guarded In his
later years by an eccentric wife, great
ly his senior OF her preposterous odd
ity, writes Mr.. Edmund Gosse in 1.-TWO
Visits to Denmark" stories were
everywhere current in Copenhagen.
She kept him as much as she possibly
could from all intercourse with the
outer world. During visit to Copen-
hagen the host of Mr.. Gosse decided
to invite the poet to dine, and his
daughter and guest were sent on
mission to invite him.
If we could secure him for night
convenient to him, writes Mr.. Gosse,
all that was brightest and best in Co
penhagen was to be constrained to
come, too. But fortune was against
u.s. If we had found him alone 1t Is
possible that success might have
crowned our efforts. When we ar
rived, with our dinner invitation on
our lips, we were damped by being
told that the poet had gone out for
walk, but that Mrs. Paludan-Muller
would receive us. The fierce little
lady, in fact, closed our retreat by
peeping round the edge Of the door
and commanding us to enter. Miss
Aline Fog, overwhelmed by the event,
lost her presence of mind, and blurt-
ed out the invitation, which it would
have been wiser to suppress.
The answer came at once: "Impos-
sible, my dear lady, impossible! l
could not sanction it! Mr.. Paludan-
Muller is weak; he is good-natured;
he is only too ready to go into So
ciety. 1t is my privilege to prevent
It. / say to him, You are too deli
cate, my dear, to mix with others.
You must positively consider your
health"
Miss Fog feebly asked whether the
poet might not himself be appealed to,
Such old friends! so small a party!
so early an hour!" The lady was quite
obdurate, however. 81 could not trust
him with your message. He is SO
weak, so good-natured. His place is at
home with me. | do not wish to dine
abroad, why should he?"

WARNING FOR
TARIFF REv|SERS
Democrat Sees PaTty'S Downfall
Unless Care Is Taken

In course of the debate in con-
gress on the foodstuffs schedule
in the new tariff bill Represent
ative Dies of Texas, one of the wool
protectionist Democrats, sounded
note of warning to his Democratic as
sociates, charging them with a dis
position to smash the tariff wall at a
rate more rapid than the scientific
development of changed industrial
condition warranted
He warned the Democrats in later
speech that the course they were pur
suing could lead only to Republican
success in the 1914 elections with the
probable return of that party to power
and wreck of the Democracy for an
other period of twenty years.
His first speech was framed as an
attack on his colleague. Mr.. Hardy,
and by its very daring brought the
house up standing. 1t was warmly ap-
plauded.
The wild asses are now in the
green of the corn" shouted Mr.. Dies
amidst the laughter of his nominal ad-
versaries.
The removal of the duty on fax and
flax straw caused Representative An
derson of the ways and means COM
mittee to sing the requiem of the fax
industry of his home state, Minnesota.
Mr.. Anderson told the committee
that "the fields of the great northwest
would no longer shine with the pure
blue flowers of the fax plant, but in
its place must again come the yellow
ing decay of the less profitable
corn"

that in its history of over $50 years

The woman adopted the garb of

she fought for three years, and has
worn the clothes and taken the part
of a man since. Only twice has her
secret become known and it was not
until Sunday that it was made public
The woman has been in the home

this country shortly before the Civil
war broke out She donned boys

ALIEN LAND BILL
PUSHED THROUGH
Measure Passes Both Branches
Of California Legislature
CARRIES LEASING PROVISION
Governor johnson Says He VIII Walt
Reasonable Time For Word From
Wilson Before Signing the Bill.

With the passage of the alien land
bill by the assembly the California
state administration gave the finishing
touch to its defiance of President VIII
son and his suggestions.
The unusual procedure of a bill
passing the senate and being read
three times In the assembly in the
same day was carried out 1t neces.
STATED the suspension of the Cali
fornia constitution to accomplish the
feat, but it was done under the whip.
The bill, it is admitted will allow
the occupation of land by Japanese
under the three.year lease provision
for an unlimited time by transferring
leases every three years.
Assemblyman Bradford, author Of
the first alien land bill to pass either
house of this legislature, defended the
leasing of land to the Japanese, al
though he opposed ownership by them.
That was the one bone OF contention
in the entire fight.
fed copy of the bill to President viii
son. Governor Johnson said later:
81 have promised President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan | would grant
them a reasonable time in which to
offer whatever objections they may
care to make" but he did not say
what he regarded as reasonable
time"
Governor Johnson declared he re-
joiced over the passage OF the bill as
an administration victory He said:
1--WE have accomplished the big
thing. We have prevented the Jap
anese from driving the root of their
civilization deep into California soil.
There has not been an inch of recess
sion by the senate or the administra-
tion on California legislation, The
three-year leasing clause was done in
the interests of our people to give
them time to adjust their affairs to
new conditions.
''The big thing California set out to
do has been done, without swerving,
and | resent the imputation that there
has been a backing down or trim
ming with the situation because of any
influence whatsoever. In all presenta-
tions made by President Wilson and
of Secretary of State Bryan on the
alien situation not one word not one
line has been uttered or written con-
cerning the leases of lands The at
titude of the national administration
was not made known at all on this
phase.
Every bill that has heretofore been
introduced on this subject has con
tained leasing provisions of from one
to fifteen years. For the first time
California is standing firm for what
is our right and we mean to have it."

Seven alleged fake medical prac-
titioners and the proprietor of an in
stitution said to have been conduct
Ing the same fake game In Plttsburg
and vicinity were he'd for the fed
eral grand jury In Pittsburg by
United States Commissioner Lindsey
upon charges of using the United
States mails to further a scheme to de-
fraud, The bail under which the men
were held aggregated $4,000.
The defendants are Drs. r. II. NJ.

Leslie Lantz and Abraham Manheimer,
In charge OF the DR.. Rhodes insti
tute, and j. G. Blakeney of Cincin-
natl, proprietor of the Rhofes concern.
Testimony that postoff'ce inspectors
had sent bottes containing mixtures Of
cold tea, salt, ammonia and library
paste to the physicians was introduced
and the witnesses on the stand swore
that they had received replies from
the various physicians advising that
careful examination of the "speci-
mems" had been made and that the
senders were in serious condition, re-
quiring immediate treatment of the
kind furnished only in their respective
Offices and institutes.
In the case of Mackenzie Inspector
Honvery told how he had written a
letter which was sent to the post
master in Mercer to renal to
Mackenzie and that he had received a
reply from the physician inclosing
blank question sheet which he was re-
quested to fill out and return.
Honvery caused much laughter in
the courtroom by telling how he had
filed out the blank and had sent
bottle containing mixture to
Mackenzie and had received an i'm
mediate reply telling him not to marry
and advising him to take immediate
treatment, for which he was to pay
$40 the first month and $3.50 per
month thereafter until cured.
Inspector Leonard testified that he
had also mailed letters to Mackenzie
under a fictitious name from NIillhall,
Clinton county, with the same result.
Leonard sent bottle of tea, ammonia
and salt for analysis. He received the
same advice as did Honvery. Similar
letters mailed under other names from
lockwood, Pa, produced the same re-
suits.
Inspector Robert Lewis told of going
to the office of Dr. Mackenzie and ask
ing him If he had conducted the cor
respondence in question and that the
doctor had admitted 1t.
81 asked him If he had made an
analysis of the fluid sent him and he
answered yes" said Lewis. When
asked for a record of the analysis,
Lewis said, Mackenzie had told him 1t
was destroyed.

PALMER A CANDIDATE
Democratic Congressman Will Run
For Governor Next Year.

The gubernatorial boom of National
Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania has been launched. Rep
resentative Warren Worth Bailey Of
Johnstown seems to have taken tem-
porary charge of the political fortunes
of his colleague from the Twenty-sixth
district.
Bailey, in discussing the fight for
governor in Pennsylvania next year,
declared there is a movement among
Pennsylvania Democrats to make
Palmer the party nominee.
"The movement for Palmer is be-
coming fairly well Defined Bailey
said "At this time he is not an active
candidate for gubernatorial honors.
Perhaps it is better to say that Mr..
Palmer is not candidate in the sense
that he has his lightning rod up. He
is allowing matters to take their
course"

CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE
Business Situation Shows Light Re-

Duns Review of Trade says this

week:
"While the business situation
throughout the country shows a
further slight recession in activity
there appears to be growing conf
dence as to the future and the volume
of current mercantile transactions is
much larger than is generally realized.
at is, moreover, significant that
labor continues well employed and
that wages are fully maintained, and
in the case of the railroad firemen
have been advanced by arbitration
The exceptionally favorable crop out
look, which developments during the
past week have in no way diminished
accounts in large degree for the pre-
