YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
Cambridge, Mass, has been a tenn
perance city for 26 consecutive years.
In October. 1913. its mayor gave out
the following facts:
Population ..... $1,000 10000

Savings banks
deposits .se.5eo.sa4 s2e.s43.7se
Depositors -. 1875 63,645
This, the mayor believes. is more
than the natural or ordinary increase
and undoubtedly due to the no-license
policy.
The number OF children attending
public schools In 1885 was 1881. of
whom b16 we're in the high school
In 1918 there were 10000 public
school children, OF whom more than
1000 we're In the high schools This"
points out Mayor Barry, shows a
marked increase In the number OF
children who by reason Of better con-
ditions are privileged to continue their
education in the higher grades"
Concerning the effects OF temper
ance upon the business interests OF
the city. he says: During the years
there have located In this city over
twenty new concerns representing
various Industries. II appears that
these new concerns employ abou two
thousand persons. with annual pay
rolls Of over 100000. and have ex-
pended for suitable buildings to carry
on their Industries In this city over

We have It from some Of the busi-
ness men who have recently come to
Cambridge that one OF the PRINCIPAL
things that attracted them to locate

NIAGARA FALLS, May 24-That the peace conference may come to an early end, seems probable, for the Mexican envoys, alarmed by the progress that is being made by the rebel army and the danger that is threatening Mexico City, have made an appeal for prompt action.
 The action of the envoys in ask ing for an early settlement, it is thought here, is due to telegraphic advice that have been received by them from President Huerta, who, it it believed, is afraid that the rebels will capture the city before some plan for its protection is arrived at by the conference.
 If the conference decides that Mex ico City be placed in the hands of a special commission, as has been suggested, pending the settlement of the difficulty between the United States and President Huerta, the Constitutionalists may not attack the

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 24.- Seven thousand dollars was appro- priated in the agricultural bill, pass ed by the senate yesterday, for map ping the Alaska kelp bends. The az riculture appropriation totaled $19.- 900 ,000
 The kelp found along the shores of the Pacific, especially along the Southern California and the Alaska shores, is rich in potash. and by a lately devised method this potash can be extracted at a reduced cost. The potash is used for enriching worn out agricultural lands and at present millions of dollars Is sent annually from here to Germany, where the main potash mines are To- cated It is estimated by the de- partment of agriculture that the Pacific coast kelp is sufficient to meet the potash needs of the entire country.
 The kelp is a seaweed that covers large areas of protected shallow water near the land

Prohibitionist Is

PREACHER MISSING SINCE LAST MARCH FOUND IN DESERT
 ED HOUSE.

DANVILLE. H., May 24.-The Reverend Patmont. prohibition speaker, who has been missing since March 31. was found today in an abandoned farm house near this city, almost dead from star vation and thirst. He was tied hand and foot and was unable to speak owing to his physical weakness.
 From the evidence at hand, it seems that MT. Patmont was kidnapped soon after he made a strong speech in this city, in which he denounced the use of liquor Unless he recovers sui ficiently to talk, the identity of his assailants may never be known. He is now in a pitiable condition, and it is question if he will recover
 Mir Patmont was severe in his criticism of saloons and in re- gard to liquor dealers. His per sonalities were bitter, and it is supposed that some of those he has been attacking are respon- sible for his trouble. It seems that he had been kept a prison CT for some time and then aband- oned

Officers of Navy
 Must Give Up Wine
BEGINNING JULY 1ST BEVERAGE MUST DISAPPEAR FROM
 MEALS.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 24. -Beginning with July l. there will be no more wine served at meals on board the United States war vessels, and as result of this ruling. the officers of the navy are up in arms.
 The order banishing wine from the officers mess on board the warships, was made by Josephus Daniels. secretary of the navy. and when he received petitions remonstrating against the order. he refused to revoke 1t.
 Then petitions were sent to President Wilson by naval off cers, asking that he interfere with the order of MT. Daniels, but this he has refused to do. Thus the order Is sure to be en- forced.
 Some time ago, Secretary Dan- iels started a campaign against the use of intoxicating liquors in the navy. One of his first or ders was that in the future wine should not be used in christening American war ves- sels There was no objection raised to that order, but when he announced that wine should no longer be served at meals on war vessels, complaint was heard from every quarter.

VALDEZ, May 24-More than 40 businessmen of Seattle and Tacoma arrived here Friday night, and were entertained by the local Commercial association. The visit of the busi- nessmen was for the purpose of de termining for themselves the condi- tions of the cities of the Alaska coast.
 After looking over this city and listening to what was told them of the commercial development of Val dez, the visitors expressed much in- terest. They declared that they were much surprised at it's wonderful growth, and in fact they de clared that they had had no previ- ous conception of the way all the Alaska cities to which they had been are developing. Many of the visitors are wealthy business men and capitalists, and some of them have already tentatively planned inn portant investments here.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ASSERTION THAT HE WILL VETO ANY ANTITRUST BILL THAT CON- FANS EXEMPTION OF UNIONS, BREEDS TROUBLE.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE CRITICISED
INDUSTRIAL LEADERS ASSERT THAT EXEMPTION HAD BEEN PROMISED THEM. THEY DENY MEASURE OF NATURE THEY WANT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 24.-- President Wilson's announcement that he will veto any trust bill that does not include labor unions in it's restrictions, has caused breach be- tween him and the labor leaders of the country, who are denouncing the ing unwarranted and unjust.
 On the other hand, the President has pointed out that labor unions as they are now conducted, are trusts and as such should be just as sub ject to regulation and restriction as are the moneyed trusts of the coun- try. He insists that 1t would not be legal or just to exempt the labor organizations from the provisions of the proposed law
 To combat the Presidents stand, the labor leaders insist that there is no legal provision that will prevent the passage of a law exempting labor from the trust legislation.
 Some of the labor leaders in de nouncing the President declare that he is not consistent and that he had previously promised that he would agree to a clause eXempting labor
 The labor unions have been taking an active part in urging the passage of trust legslations' but at first seemed to have no idea that such laws would probably effect labor interests in a vital way
 It is held by some of the leaders of the two houses, that a law limit ing other monopolies would be incon- sistent unless it also regulates la bor monopolies, which they declared the labor unions are.
 If the labor unions are not eX empted in the antitrust legislation it will not necessarily mean that the unions will have to discontinue, but that they will be subject to in- vestlgation and government control in the same way as will be the con- mercial and financial concerns of the country,

OFFICERS HOT ON TRAIL
 OF K0YUKUK MURDERER
Arrest of the "Buebey Kd Supposed Have Killed Fiddler Joh Holmbeg "Dutch Marie" and Frank Adams in 1912, Is
 Promised by U. S. Marshal n San Francisco.

[ way down the Koyukuk river, it was known that the Blueberry Kid had about $500, and that Fiddler John had on his person about sS,000 or 5000 on his person in the form of gold dust How much the oth- er members of the party had is not known.
 The next thing heard of the Blue berry Kid was when he reached the Outside and began to sell gold dust in larger quantities than his small possession would justify. From that time forward the officers have been on his trail.
 Much of his time since he went Outside has been spent by the Blue berry Kid at the coast cities, prin- cipally Seattle and San Francisco, where he is known to have spent much money and to have sold much gold dust.
 At first there was a rumor that the Blueberry Kid was accompanied on the Outside by Dutch Marie, whom it was believed had gone out about tn esame time that he had. This. however, was later prov ed to be wrong, and the officers art> now positive that she also was kill ed.
 Frank Adams, one of the missing men, has a wife in Auburn, Washing ton. She has been urging the off cers on in their attempt to locate the supposed murderer.
