PACIFIC NORTHWEST WAS THE HAPPY

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 26.-
The Pacific Northwest was the happy

Work Features Meet.

Some good apparatus work and some
fast wrestling bouts featured the
gymnaStic and wrestling show staged
at the Y. NJ. G.. THURSDAY night.
Charles Sylvanus won the gymnastic
championship with an average of 90
per cent for the horse, parallel and
high bars. Stems and Elbel were tied
for second with an average of 80.
while Cade was fourth with 20 per
cent.
The heavyweight wrestling bout was
marred by an accident to J.. l.. Nc
Grath Of Laporte. who sustained a
broke collar bone 81 his match with
Lorenzo Rausch of South Bend.
Rausch was much the heavier and on
a fall TO the mat he landed on his
opponents collar bone and broke IL.
The shoulder will merely cause Nc
Grath a little annoyance for a few
weeks, but will not prevent IT from
indulging in future bouts, when the
member heals. Rausch threw Nc
Grath IN 1850.
The middleweight bout between
Smith and Swihart. both of South
Bend, was the fastest M Of the eYen-
ing. Both men are quick and gviry.
and were evenly matched. The scis-
sors hold proved too much for Smith
however. and ne was thrown twice
with this hold. the first fall was ac-
complished in Sal, while Swihart
worked AIS for the second fail.
Rollo B%ondurant of South Bend.
state lightweight champion, worked So
minutes on J. =. McGrath Of Laporte
without throwing him. although he
had his man on the defensive all the
time. B~Ondurant was Outweighed by
20 pounds. The bout was called a
draw under the Y. NJ. rules because Of
no fall.
=. NJ. Gardner donated medals
awarded 10 the winning wrestlers. Mr..
Gardner is an ardent fan. having do

President Wilson'S sage read

sage yet delivered. 1t occupied less

appeal to reverse the former action
of Congress exempting vessels en-

the payment of tolls. In the closing
paragraph he put forth a forceful
argument when he said, Il ask this

other matters of even greater deli
cacy and nearer consequence if you
do not grant it to me in ungrudging
manner"
This reference to strained rela-
tons with England, Germany and
other foreign countries, complicated
with the Mexican situation, raises
question above party politics. The
charge is made that coastwise traf-
fic is a monopoly which will not
give ultimate consumers any more
relief than has resulted from free
trade i agricultural products; but
more effective than other arguments
is that concerning international re-
lations when the President declares
Everywhere else the language of

cludes the exempt on | am asking

A SEA ROAD
BY Jay H. Grimm

South of Santa Monica the land
lies flat, and there are many cit
les and villages and the country is
full of life and the results of mans
work. But north of that city the
mountains come down to the ocean
and the country is almost uninha-
bited.
Along the narrow strip of beach
between sea and mountains long
road runs. How long do not
know. Some say it leads to Santa
Barbara, others that it runs as far
as San Francisco. Hal Wilson said
that some day it would begin in
Mexico and end in Canada, follow
ing the shore all of the way, but
Hal is Californian, and l who
have been here but few months
could not hope to be SO prophetic.
We reached the road at tn
mouth of Santa Monica Canyon.
Hal drove his car. Gertrude and
Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Grimm and my
self completed the party. We had
travelled but short distance along
the shore when we came to Jap
anese fishing village. / did not
know that such a village existed
in America but here We found one.
It's only street was our sea road,
along one side of which were the
fishermen's houses, stores and res
taurants with queer Japanese
signs, and packing houses. On the
other side of the road, on the
warm sandy shore we saw the
Japanese fishermen mending their
nets, building boats and drying
fish.
A few miles further on we came
to the home of the Broncho Film
Co., quite village clinging to the
steep mountain side, an interesting
village built to be used in scenes
for moving pictures and including
an interesting Indian village with
pointed tepees. Here we saw them
preparing a scene to represent the
late volcanic disaster in Japan.
The scene was laid where a high
cone of rock rose close to t h
ocean shore. They were burning
something that sent up a dense
cloud of yellow smoke. 1t was not
much to look at but will probably
appear we'll in their picture.
We drove on for miles, the odor
of brine was in our nostrils and in
our ears the roar of the surf.
Over the waves great gulls soar
ed, and high up over a mesa an
eagle flew. AT our left the waves
rolled up almost to the wheels of
the car and on our right the
mountain wall rose, in places al
most perpendicular. The wind
was warm and invigorating and
the engine worked well. We had
planned to go up thru Topanga
Canyon to the San Fernando Val
lev and thence home, but as we
turned into the Canyon we found
the road blocked. Here We saw
a prisoners camp and chain gang
were building road like Ia rail
road grade, but the road was not
completed and we were compelled
to return the way we came, leaV-
ing the road at Santa Monica.
/ might go on and tell how dur
ing that long warm afternoon we
motored on thru many cities and
villages, and past palatial res
licences and grounds over superb
roads. How lit being February 1O
the ladies in their bathing suits
splashed in the surf while in plain
sight were high mountains capped
with snow, but as my story IS
about road it very properly ends
here.

WASHINGTON LETTER
FROM JAMES A. FREAR, MEMBER OF
CONGRESS, 10Th DISTRICT

Washington, d. c., March 10, 1914.
Ex-President Taft, head of the
American Bar Association, appeared
before the House Judiciary Com
mittee last week to advocate q
change in the'laws affecting the U.
S. Supreme Court proc e d u e.
Among other notifications propos-
ed, he argued that Clerks of FEEDER
al Courts be appointed by Com
mission as he believed that under
the present practice of appoint
ments by Judges, much of the fault
lodged against the Federal Judges
was directly chargeable to the
Clerks.
II x%
After his argument, Mr.. Taft,
Judge Alton Parker and Senator
Root stood talking together near
me, and it presented the spectacle
of men united by common politi-
cal sympathy as both Taft and
Parker had been defeated at differ
ent times for the Presidency by Col.
Roosevelt; while Senator Root, a
tentative candidate now for that
Office, was the chairman of the Chi
cago Convention in 1912, when
Roosevelt was defeated for the
nomination.
A bitter attack on the Minneapolis
and Chicago Boards of Trade oc-
Cured before the Rules Committee
of the House throughout the week,
led by Congressman Manahan and
farmers organizations of Minneso
ia, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dako
tas. Charges of discrimination in
grading wheat, in handling grain,
and in unfairly fixing prices were
supported by direct evidence. 1t
was stated that Minneapolis, Mil
waukee and Duluth handle more
wheat than Chicago, which latter
city averages about twenty five mill
lion bushels annually, whereas that
amount of wheat is bought and sold
on the Chicago Board every day in
the year.
Dealing in futures or options was
characterized as leg allied gambling,
unless delivery of grain follows and
it was shown that not one per cent.
of grain sales on the Board are ever
delivered. Five men in Chicago,
including Armour, fix grain prices,
according to these witnesses, with
a resulting depression in the legiti-
mate return to Northwestern farm
ers amounting to many millions OF
dollars annually. These hearings
are for the purpose of securing a
