AMERICANS COMING HOME.
Many of Those Who Went to Canada
Returning.

Washington, July ll.-Secretary Will
SON of the department of labor is pleased
at reports he is receiving which indi-
cate that the number Of American eiti-
zens emigrating TO Canada is decreasing.
For several years the tide of emigra-
ton across the northern borders Of the
United states grew 10 such proportions
as TO cause anxiety to government Off
Gals and Others.
During 1912, 97,95l American citizens
went to Canada, while the number re-
turning from that country TO the United
States was only 3s,3lT.
When he became secretary of labor.
Mr.. Wilson ordered that departmental
bulletins giving facts as TO the products.
resources and physical characteristics
Of All the states be sent 10 American
residents Of Canada. In response many
inquiries for more specific information
began to come in.
For the III months ending Nav 81.

SIX YEARS TRIP
OF 100000 MILES
Is Contemplated by the British Antarctic
and oceanographical Expedition to
Hunt and Chart Islands, Reefs and
Banks of Doubtful Location.

London, July ll.--Six years at sea
and voyage Of 10000 miles to hunt
and chart islands, reefs and banks OF
doubtful location is what the British
antarctic and oceanographieal expedition
now proposes to do for the benefit OF
the worlds merchant marine. Original
Nv Sir Ernest Shackleton and j. Foster
Stackhouse intended only TO survey and
chart the coast of the Antarctic conti-
nent, looking for such menaces to ship
ping as might lie on their voyage down
and back. But the charts disclose so
many points marked d., 2. d. and h. d.
doubtful, position doubtful and ex-
istence doubtful-that the explorers
have added two and a half years to their
projected voyage, which starts next De.
cember in the Discovery"
The seven seas have never been accur-
ately chartered because, says Mr.. Stack
house, being everybody's business it
was no body's business to do it." Even
the north Atlantic has its doubtful
islands and sunken rocks. -Four differ
ent mariners, previous to the Titanic
Disaster reported seeing rocks net~ the
point where the ship went down, and
this ia one of the first things to be in
vestigated by the Discovery. Polynesia,
Melanesia and Malaysia are notorious
for volcanic and coral distractions, and
the Panama canal will open new routes
through these dangerous seas. The
South American and African coasts have
their doubtful rocks. Mr.. Stackhouse
considers it Just as important to find
out that menace does not exist as that
it does.
The new sea charting expedition is
financed by public contributions Its
fifteen officers and scientists have given
their work for the next six years gratis
The only expenses besides the equip
ment are those Incidental to running the
ship and the pay of the crew OF nine
teen men. The foremost photographer
of Great Britain. Capt. j. A. Rupert
Jones, will have charge of the surround
ings and Lieut. Humphreys will do the
land surveying. Various other kinds OF
scientific work are planned including OBJ
servations as to the magnetic pole.
Existing charts disclose facts which
have disturbing influence on traffic,
such as the presence of shallow sur
in areas of deep water. Such
places will be carefully searched for sub
merged rocks. All corners of the world
will be visited and studied by the ex-
petition.
The discovery is a wooden ship with
steam auxiliary, especially designed for
work in lev waters, and she will carry
the latest sounding machinery, While
the voyage is planned to last six years,
the officers and crew are signed on for
seven in event Of DELAYS.

MODEL COTTON PLANTATION
Is To Be Started in India to Secure In
dependent Supply.

London, July lin the hope of some
day securing q raw cotton supply indie
pendent OF America, the international
Federation of Master Cotton Spinners'
and Manufacturers association has
launched scheme for the establishment
of model cotton plantation in Punlab,
India.
Considering the advances already made
in India, it is estimated that before
many years the Indian crop will be al
most as large as the American crop. The
model plantation in India will demon
strate the benefits which arise from in
tensive farming, thereby encouraging the
landed proprietors to adopt this system
and to improve the yield per acre and
the quality of the fibre.
The land will be sown with as large
a percentage of American cotton seed as
possible, and the agricultural department
OF Punjab will have the right to pur-
chase any of the surplus seed produced
which is not required for the estate,
for distribution in other districts.
The federation has secured 20 years
lease of 1900 acres close to the railway
and water supply. A modern ginning
mill is to be erected, and as there is
scarcely any population in the vicinity
model villages are to be established for
the workmen who are to be brought in
and instructed by experts.
Leading members of the federation be.
lieve that within few years it viii be
possible to increase the Indian cotton
crop to 100000 bales without en-
croaching on the area required for food.
Manufacturers in all countries using In
dian cotton are subscribing to the pro-
ieet.

TWO SISTERS HELD FOR
DEATH OF BROTHER
Dying, He Charges That They Shot Him
as He Worked on
Farm.

Sterling, Ill, July ll.--Mrs. Lee Hut
ton and Miss Lillian Byers, sisters, are
held without bail for the grand jury,
pending investigation of the killing of
their brother, Emanuel Byers, late on
Thursday.
According to the story told by Byers
as he was dying, and partly corroborated
by the admissions of the sisters, the
women approached Byers as he was at
work on his farm. They had been dis
putting earlier in the day in regard to
the failure of Byers to call physician
to care for their aged father.
Mamie, we are going to kill you,
one of the sisters is said to have re-
marked
"You ought to be ashamed of your
selves to talk that way" was the broth
er's response.
One of the sisters then drew re-
volver from the folds of her dress and
opened fire ON the brother. She fell
fainting and her sister took the revolver
and kept up fire on the brother. He fell
with four bullets in his body. As he fell
he threw his pitchfork at the women,
striking one of them in the face, but not
seriously injuring her.

BATTLESHIP NEVADA
FORMIDABLE VESSEL
Great U. S. Fighter Is to Be Launched
at Quincy To-day, Carries Ten a.
inch Guns Capable of Firing
t4o0-pound Shells.

Quincy, Mass, July 1.-THE super
dreadnaught Nevada, to be launched
here to-day, and her sister ship Che
Oklahoma, which was fioated at Phila-
delphia last March, surpass in tonnage,
displacement and armament any United
States warship now aAoat. She is, how
ever, less formidable than the Pennsyl-
vania whose keel was laid last spring
and the unnamed sea fighter, No. 80,
both OF which will have displacement
of 81 400 tons.
The Neyada's displacement is 2I,5OO
tons, or 500 tons greater than the Tex
as and New York, the latest sea giants
to be commissioned by the United
States. Her length is $50 feet with a
breadth OF 80 feet, 20 inches on load
water line.
Ten fourteen-inch guns, capable OF
firing l,400-pound shells will constitute
her principal armament. Two three-gun
turrets will be among her defenses. One
of these largest OF turrets will be on the
foreeastle deck along with turret from
which two big guns will be pointed.
Another two-gm turret will sweep the
the other threegun turret The turrets
are arranged to make complete revolu-
tions, SO that the entire battery OF the
big guns can be concentrated on an
enemy approaching from either side, for
ward or aft.
Besides her big l4-inch guns the
Nevada will have distributed about her
decks 81 five-inch guns and minor arma-
ment such as one Founders, three pound
ers, three-inch field pieces and machine
guns.
The Neyada's armor renders her
among the strongest battleships in the
navy. Her belt is 1879 inches thick and
will extend 400 feet along either side of
the hull These plates viii extend s1a
feet below the waterline and 8 feet
above the waters surface. There are
two protective decks as safeguard
against plunging fire, one three inches
and the other / y inches.
While the Nevada will represent the
last word in American sea power, the
new British battleship Queen Elizabeth
will carry more formidable armament
of no less than eight l5-inch guns. This
seafighter probably will be commits
stoned the first OF next year.
The Nevada is a contemporary of the
British warship, Iron Duke. The Iron
Dukes displacement is $4,000 tons and
she carries 10 l3lalinch guns. The
Neyada's speed is estimated at 2O1a
knots or about the same as the Iron
Although the Nevada's armor
is thicker than that of her British con-
temporary it is not spread over so great
an area of side. The British warrior
has a secondary battery of 10 6-inch
guns while the Nevada's will consist of
81 5.inch guns. These questions OF dis.
tribution OF armor and the relative i'm
portance of the number and calibre of
guns are two problems on which the
naval experts OF the world are not in
accord
The Nevada win burn oil only. and her
engines will have an indicated horse
power of 24,s00 The fuel oil win be
carried in the double bottom of the ship,
this effecting the economy OF space over
the old arrangement which called for ex-
tensive coal bankers. Her contractors
promise to have the new battleship com
pleted by Jan -. next.

MAY NOT ARBITRATE NOW.
Capture of Guadalajara Expected to So
Influence Carranza.

Washington. July 1.-THE capture of
Guadalajara is expected to result in
Carranza abandoning all suggestions OF
parleyng with the Huertista represen-
tatives.
As result the question of whether
recognition would be accorded a military
provisional government has become
pressing.
A military government, however, Off
cials here greatly fear, will mean
counter revolution almost before it is
firmly established. 1t will also precip-
itate complications with the European
powers. which have never been friendly
to Carranza because of Villas connec
ton with the Benton murder, the rob-
bery of German, French and Italian
properties and his expulsion of Spanish
and confiscation of their property.
