CONGRESS SHOULD
RULE RIFLE CAMPS
DECISION MADE THAT SECRETARY
OF WAR HAS NO VOICE IN
THE MATTER.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 12.-The sec.
retary of war has no authority to con-
stitute rifle camp Of instructions
whose officers and men shall be paid
under the militia act. Comptroller OF
the Treasury Downey, final arbiter of
such questions, decided so today.
The case arose when the auditor for
the war department learned that a
recent encampment Of Arizona militia
at which forty-four officers and men
representing the six companies were
present was not an encampment rec
ognized by the war department. He
cited regulations of the secretary OF
war which declare that a legal encamp-
ment must include two officers and
twenty men from each militia com.
pany.
The comptroller announced that con.
gress alone possessed authority to
make; such . Limitation on the militia

wagers are being placed. The quoted
odds on the Yale Princeton game are
10 to z in favor OF the latter. Even
money is wagered that Yale will not
score and 500 even was placed yester-
day on a freak bet that the total score
Of the game will be odd. Another bet
Of 500 even was made that Princeton
would beat Yale by eight points. The
odds on the Harvard,Yale game are
quoted as 10 to 6 in favor of the
former The same odds prevail in
favor of the navy for the Arnny-Navy

Cleveland Hard at Work
Clearing Streets and
Shoveling Snow
FOOD SCARCE AND
MANY ARE HUNGRY
Provisions Being Hurried
: to Stores Where People
Can Secure Them

Cleveland, O., Nov. 12.-With the
city under from two to six feet OF
snow the problem of distributing the
available food and coal supplies in the
city caused anxiety today. OF other
food except green stuff fairly large
supply is on hand. The big milk COM
panies yesterday made sales only to
those who wanted it for babies, and
the greater part Of the demand was
thus supplied.
Factories began shutting down yes
|terday because of the shortage of coal
and they may not be able to open for
"a week. Retail dealers say a famine
OF coal for dwelling houses and apart.
ment houses depends on deliveries.
which just now are impossible.
Triple prices were paid to the few
teamsters who would haul produce
from the cars in the railroad yards to
the central market house. Meat, eggs,
flour and butter in sufficient quantities
to last several days are in the down
town groceries but in the suburbs
where it has been impossible to carry
supplies grocers have almost empty
shelves.
Ten plants of the American Steel
and Wire Co.. employing about 5000,
were shut down last evening because
of the lack Of coal. and 500 men err-
|ployed at the Glide Yarnish Go,
were sent home for the same reason.
Several smaller, plants not equipped
with gas, also were forced to close
and many others probably will be
forced to close today.
Prospect Brightens.
AS the day progressed prospects for
a speedy resumption OF street car
traffic were bright and it was expected
that the railroads would establish COM
munication with the outside world on
a basis approaching much nearer to
schedule time than yesterday. Bright
sunshiny weather prevailed. In the
city this morning the Detroit avenue
line. one of the great traffic arteries
of the cit5, and few cross town lines
were still out of commission. Hun
dreds of laborers were at work clear
ing the tracks, however, and the re-
opening was only matter of hours.
Vessels were able to clear Cleveland
port Life savers and tug owners
were on the outlook for traces Of
wrecks on Lake Erie.
While the railroads, street car lines
and interurban systems are approach
ing ordinary conditions, the telegraph
and the telephone companies will not
be able to restore their lines COM
pletely for weeks and perhaps even
months.

MUST HAVE LIFE BOATS
Department Of Commerce Approves
Fine Against Steamer for Lack
Of Protection.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 12.-De-
tcrmined to enforce the United States
navigation laws relative to safety ap-
pliances, the department of commerce
today approved fine of $1,000 against
the Spanish steamer Montevedio for
not carrying sufficient lifeboats. The
steamer sailed from San Juan, Porto
Rico, last August with 76S passengers,
many of whom were children. and only
twelve lifeboats. The government
would not take into consideration the
three canvass boats which the owners
claimed made the life saving apparatus
sufficient.
The fine is the heaviest ever i'm
posed by the United States In a similar
case.

Board Of Supervisors Ar
ranges for Issue to Con-
form With State Law
THREE FUNDS NEED
LARGE AMOUNTS
Davenport Bonding Firm
Takes $62,5OO at $50; .
Making Improvements

To cover a deficit in the county,
pauper and bridge funds that have
been overdrawn to the extent OF 362.
900, a bond issue in sum was arranged
for by the board OF supervisors with
the George M. Bechtel bonding Arm Of
Davenport. The bonds will take care
OF the outstanding warrants.
This action by the board was
prompted by the advice OF G. G. Hunt.
examiner Of county Offices in the en-
nloy of the state auditor. Mr.. Hunt
notified the board that the practice OF
years standing to pay 5 per cent on
the outstanding warrants is illegal be-
yond a period of one year. To pay
that amount interest after the war
rants have remained unpaid over a
year Is held by the examiner to be
contrary to law and hence the move on
the part of the supervisors
When notified of this by the state
examiner the board Immediately cast
about for means to protect the hold
ers of the outstanding warrants and
negotiated with a bonding firm to trans
fer the warrants on which the payment
Of interest was stopped to bonds bear
ing the same interest This was accom-
plished and the three funds that are
short will be supplied with money to
care for the Warrants as soon as the
bonds can be printed and properly
filled out.
The funds and their amount OF de.
fic1t are divided an fO1lowa g5E55
County and pauper funds ..... $40 900

Making improvements
The supervisors are In the midst OF
the November session and spent some
time Tuesday at the county home
where considerable improvements are
being made. A new lighting plant and
\ huge cistern are being installed on
the farm.
These improvements are made nee
essary on account of the state boiler
inspector condemning the boiler In use
at the county home, and the board OF
control condenlning the former car
tide lighting system.
The cost Of the lighting system that
is under construction Is over $1,000.
but the board feels confident that the
plant being installed will prove a say.
ing over the former plant. The light.
ing will be electric and the energy will
br; secured and stored in batteries
while thte engine at the farm is being
used for pumping,etc. This energy
will later be used to make the light
that will illuminate the building of the
county home. The power thus secured
has heref0f hoon Wagtad hilf Ia
hereafter to be converted through
storage batteries into electric lighting.
The digging of cistern 10 X 16 feet
is made necessary because the water
from the deep well is charged with too
much chemical properties that are
harmful to the boilers. It was this
that lead the condemnation Of the boil
ers by the state. There is a large wat
er shed for supplying the water to the
cistern and upon completion Of the cis-
tern and the new lighting plant 1t is
believed the county home will be well
equipped in these particulars.

are equally convinced this forenoon
that she is not. 1t is regarded certain
however, that the Regina went down

wrecked was confirmed yesterday
