NO LIQUOR FOR MINORS ON BOATS
Idaho Congressman Starts a Move to
Prevent Sale of Liquor.

| WASHINGTON, May 11.-(SpeciaD :
A hearing has been granted to Rep
resentative Addison T. Smith, of Idaho
| by the committee on alcoholic liquor
traffic, on his bill to prohibit the sale
of intoxicating liquors to minors upon
passenger vessels plying inland wat
ers, which are outside of the jurisdic-
ton of the state laws, and feels very
hopeful that the bill will be favorably
reported to the house of representa-
tives.
The bill imposes a penalty of not
more than $500 on the vessel on which
the offense occurs, the exact amount
to be determined by the secretary of
commerce, in the same manner that
other offenses against the navigation
and inspection laws are now deter
mined In addition the master of the
vessel shall be liable to suspension
or revocation of his license.
The evidence presented to the COM
mittee prove conclusively that this
legislation is urgent and much needed
in order to protect young people of
both sexes. Some of the evidence dis
closes shocking conditions existing,
especially on excursion boats. These
boats scarcely leave the wharf, until
walters go about taking orders from
those who wish their drinks brought
to them on deck.
Many of the members of these social
groups are usually quite young, and
many of them are more or less intox-
icated before the end of the trip, and
are to be seen lying on the floor and
benches in a drunken stupor.
A federal license is all that is nee
essary to sell liquor on navigable
waters; no state license being requir-
ed.
The legislation is demanded by var
ous juvenile protective associations
as we'll as by the officers Of various
societies.

have been warned for duty inside the

London. The state visit ends We'd

BLINDED BY HIS OWN SMOKELESS
POWDER.

The wonder is that there has not
been more of an explosion in con-
nection with the Du Pont Powder
company investigation. The facts were
certainly scandalous enough to justify
an expectation of more noise than
there has been. If Senator Du Pont
has not been guilty of treason to the
United States, there is something
wrong with the definition of treason.
Using, in the manufacture of smoke
less powder, the formulas worked out
by the money and talent of govern
ment employees, the Du Pont company
has, according to the calm and I'M
shamed admission of the Senator, been
under contract to furnish Germany
with accurate and detailed statements
as to the kind and amount of powder
sold by the company to the United
States government. This information
included not only the exact number of
pounds sold but also the record OF
every minute change in formula pre-
scribed by our government. Germany
todays knows how we make our
powder, just what every pound OF 1t
can do. and just how many pounds
we have. but Senator Du Pont brazen-
" declares he sees nothing improper
in what he has done. He is on the
military committee of the senate, but

MAY HAVE USED A BARREL.
John Barrett, Diplomat, Gets Peeved
Over Joke Sprung on Him.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-John Bar
rett, director of the Pan-American I'm
ion ordinarily is suave, diplomatic
gentleman. But nowadays he gets q
bit ruffled whenever anybody speaks OF
White Sulphur Springs or churches OF
pine boards. Thereby hangs a little
tale.
Barrett was at the Presidents hotel
in the fashionable West Virginia re-
sort when Wilson was making his
first visit there. On Sunday Barrett
went to church and had a pew close to
the presidential party. The day was
warm, the church was comparatively
new, and the pew Barrett occupied
had no cushions or upholstering-
naught but plain pine board.
Barrett followed the sermon with
interest. The plate was passed, the
benediction was said, and the diplo-
matte director of the Pan-American
Union was preparing to depart. Sud-
denly, there was rip, tear.
The suave director looked around
more in fear than in anger His worst
suspicious were confirmed. He had
been glued to the pine board, and a
generous slice of his striped gray
trousers had been torn out by the roots
when he started to leave. He refuses
to say how he got back to his hotel.

Among the cleverest cartoons in

suggestion that the suffragettes form

with hatpins which they brandished in

scratch, and there are likely to be
several changes among the players
who have been formerly rated at two
and three.
Manager Branch Hickey may kill
Sunday ball playing. The Missourians
figure that if the game is too wicked
for the manager, it must be too bad
for the fans, and they are glancing at
the lid.
Don't get it into your scrambled
bean that Pittsburg is any morning
glory; or that Pittsburg hasn't any
regular ball players abroad. Pitts
burg has the best infield in her circuit
"a grand catcher, as long as Gibson
can keep going; a fair pitching staff,
and in Max Carey, one of the greatest
of National league outfelders. The
material is there to launch a rumpus
if properly coaxed.
If they could only force Willie
Hoppe to pitch a baseball game or go
in the wrestling match with Frank
Gotch, the other high lights of the cue
world might have the satisfaction of
seeing Willie beaten, but as long as
he is permitted to stick to billiards
their only chance is to win the bank,
complete their string in one inning
and never give him a shot. Hoppe is
certainly a marvel and it is doubtful
if there is a player in the whole world
who can whip him.
Griffith Wood paints this awful pic
5ure of the umpire's life: His lot is
far from a happy one. Everybody's |
hand is against him. He is hated by |
The fans, hated and feared by the |
BALL players, and ostracised as COM
)letely as if he were leper." All of |
which is enough to tinge his life |
slightly with bitterness, but so long
Is he does not hate himself and does not |
lave to go to Molokai he can bear up.

A DOSE FOR THE DOCTORS.

Just now it is fashionable to poke a
good bit of fun at the medical pro-
fession. Some of the cleverest of
journals (Life among the number) af-
feet scorn of all that the physicians
do and say attempt to discredit their
scientific discoveries as to serums and
other matters, and delight to attribute
to them the most mercenary motives.
1t is surprising how well the doc
tors bear up under this abuse and
how sleek they grow. Perhaps they
case of "He laughs best who laughs
last" knowing perfectly well that as
soon as our robust health is shattered,
we shall stop our jeering and come
whimpering around to get their help
when our dinner doesn't sit we'll.
And, again, perhaps the secret con-
that we are in sickness absolutely de-
pendent upon these same berated med
ical gentlemen, adds spice to our
enjoyment of such passages as the
following one from Dickens's Little
Dorrit:
None of the crowd but the bear
ers and he being admitted, the
disabled man was soon laid on
the table in a cool methodical way,
and carefully examined by the sur
geon, who was near at hand, and
as ready to appear as Calamity

English word said Clenman;
is he badly hurt? Let us know all
about it first said the surgeon
continuing his examination with
business-like delight in it, be
fore we pronounce.
after trying the leg with a
finger and two fingers and one
hand and two hands, over and I'M
der, and up and down, and in
this direction and in that, and ap-
provingly remarking on the points
OF interest TO anOtner gentleman
who joined him, the surgeon at
last clapped the patient on the
shoulder, and said, He won't hurt.
He'll do very we'll. It's difficult
enough but we shall not want
him to part with his leg this
time"
Its a serious injury, l suppose"
said Clenman.
"Ye-es," replied the surgeon, with
the thoughtful pleasure of an
artist, contemplating the work
on his easel. Eyes, it's enough.
There's a compound fracture
above the knee, and a dislocation
below. They are both of beauti-
fult kind" He gave the patient
friendly clap on the shoulder
again, as if he really felt that he
was very good fellow, indeed,
and worthy of all commentator
for having broken his leg in
manner interesting to science"

for persistent insomnia is the sound
of the rising bell or the alarm clock.

to steep his soul in the delicious
drowsiness which all night long re-

Under the laws Arizona when, as in this case person is charged with larceny of property whose ownership is un- known, the value must be over $50 to make it grand larceny. If the value of such property is under $50 the only charge that caa be made Is one of petit larceny. The owner ship of the animal which the boys are charged with killing was un- known and under the value of $50, hence the change in the complaint to misdemeanor, rather than a fel' ny.

B. F. Sweetwood circulates paper to get Williams Merchants to Withdraw Advertising from Home Newspaper

B. F. Sweetwood circulated a pe- titiou among the business men cf Williams the fiist of the week, in the effort to get them to withdraw support from their home paper. The action appears in the nature of a boycott: It has been suggested that this is in conflict with state and national laws but it is not gen. erally thought possible that it would have been undertaken in that case.
 The News has been unable to learn the cause for the circulation of the paper, altho most people think they can make a near guess.
 It is reported that number of persons have signed the petition altho none of the regular advertis- CTS of the News seem to have done so, since none have withdrawn ad- vertising.
 Some people have described MT. Sweetwood's efforts as, "A tempest in teapot" "The most original joke of the season." "A good laugh for everybody and nobody hurt"
