Committee Sends Bills Back.


There promises to be lively ses-
sion in the house when the 81 bills
pending before the judiciary commit
tee will be referred to new committees
Or engrossment.
The judiciary committee. after de-
bate decided that 1t would make no
.urther decisions ON pending meas
ures.
The trouble began when Represen-
tative DUNN of Cole county, member
of the committee, requested that house
bill 149, sponsored by him, which had
received an unfavorable report, be
placed on the informal calendar.
Representative Frank Farris, chair
man of the committee, protested and
conferred with other members, who
agreed to report all the bills without
recommendations. The house re-
ferred the bills back to the committee.
Chairman Farris, after adjournment,
called a conference and the commit
teemen again decided to report all the
bills without recommendation.
The measure that caused the con-
troversy relates to appellate tudg-
ments in life and fire insurance. and
personal injury suits, whether by cor
porations or Individuals.

adopting the Phelps resolution, which
called upon the public service COM
mission to inform the senate whether
''in it's opinion the present rates are

"Resolved, That the commission In

CRUISERS OF THE NAvIES
Not Altogether Easy to Understand
Why the Name Should Have
Been Given Them.

1t is certainly strange that one
particular class of ship should have
been singled out for the title of
"cruisers," more especially as the
great majority of them have much
smaller cruising capacity than the
majority of battleships. Our first
ships to which the word was applied
1.-THE admiralty then spelt it with a
q" were the picturesque vessels of
the old Amphion class, launched in
1883, and shortly after clean sweep
was made of the term Corvette" In
the steam era the word cruiser has
become associated more particularly
with speed, though there is no appar-
emit connection. Many cruisers now
doing useful work are, too, consid-
erably slower than modern battle
ships, while the 25-knot Queen Eliz-
abeths are nominally as fast as and
probably, in practice, faster than the
battle cruisers of the Invincible
group. These "15-inch battleships"
ought really to be grouped with the
battle cruisers, with which they have
several points in common.-London

SALOON THE STATES WORST EN-.

(By JUDGE A. B. WATKINS OF Te1as.}
Why does the state so abhor the sar
loon on election day? Absolutely one
would think it no worse to sell whisky
at one time than at another. 1t knows
only too well that this right Of free
men and the sale of drink are at hope
less war; that the liquor traffic has al
ways been the sworn enemy Of the
honest ballot; that to furnish the voter
with whisky would be like arming a
mailman. II the saloon be the limo
cent and harmless thing its advocates
claim, why not unchain 1t on cleo
ton day?
But in spite of these and every 9th
er precaution, the saloon is today the
gravest menace to an honest vote. Not
content with taking Its place In soci-
ETY. as q business simply. 1t Is ambi-
tious to become ruler.
Who ever heard of drug store
ticket at an election! Who ever heard
Of the family groceries, or the shoe
trade claiming the right to elect their
oficers?
And yet one hardly need inquire
for any man that ever lived in sa-
loon-ridden county or city that has
not heard Of or voted for or against
the saloon ticket?"
It is always there. And from con-
stable to governor those lords Of vice
demand that society shall bow to
them. Many have wondered at tho
cause and asked why simple bust
ness should not be satisfied to be .
business simply. But the answer In
not far or hard to find.
The saloon seeks the election OF
candidates who are willing or pledged
to do its bidding. 1t is needless for
another business, for 1t follows the
law. 1t is necessary for the saloon.
for 1t def1es the law.

RADIUM FROM SEA WATER
Professor of University Of Alabama
Believes Riches May Be Obtained
From the Ocean.

Prof. Stewart J. Lloyd of the Uni
versity of Alabama has recently pub
lished the results of an examination
for radium of a sample of water OBJ
tanned in the Gulf of Mexico, about
two hundred miles south of Mobile,
and has given in this connection a
resume of the results obtained by
other investigators in measuring the
radium content of sea water. The
writer explains that the growing rec
ignition of radium as an important
factor in geological processes has led
to many analyses of rocks, soils,
springs and river waters for that ele-
ment, while our greatest reservoir of
radium, the ocean, has received but.
little attention. Jolly, who examined
samples from several oceans and seas,
obtained value for the radium con-
tent so high that it cannot be recon-
ciled with the values obtained by,
Eve and Satterly for the North At
lantic, and Lloyd for the Gulf of.
Mexico. Excluding Joly's results,
the author finds the average to be
1.2X10-is gram of radium per liter
of sea water, which would make the
total radium content of the ocean

this week to destroy the beautiful st.

A bomb was lighted inside the church
but detectives who were aware of the
plan to destroy the church put out the
fuse attached to the bomb and arrested
the Anarchist. 1t was later learned
that destruction on a wholesale plan
had been agreed upon by a band of
New York Anarchists.
The detectives used clever ruse to
acquaint themselves with the Anarch.

priests, ushers and employees about
the church. The Cathedral was in no
way injured, the police believe they
have in custody the perpetrators OF
