Of the reports.
1T is absolutely absurd on the face
Of it," said Albert Lepper. president Of

SEEKS SHOsHONE CLAIM.
Mrs. Katherine Macdonald Carries
Fight to District Court.

Secretary McAdoo and Treasurer
John Burke yesterday were cited by
Justice Siddons to show cause in the
District Supreme Court September 10
why they should not be enjoined from
distributing certain claims authorized
by Congress until action has been
taken by the court on the claim OF
Mrs. Katherine Macdonald, of Butte
Mont.
In her petition for an Injunction
Mrs. Macdonald sets forth that the
Secretary of the Interior has awarded
her only $4,000 on her claim. which
was for $1,000. Attorney H. w
wheatley, for the plaintiff, contends
that Mrs. Macdonald has not been
given opportunity by the Interior De-
partment to prove her full claim.
Mrs MacDonald's husband, a grocer
of Butte, Mont, in 1906, fed workmen
on the Shoshone irrigation project, de-
pending on the salaries due them for
payment. The contractor went into
bankruptcy, owing the men. They
turned their claims against the gov
ernment over to the grocer as pay
ment for their groceries.

First Time that Bodies Have
Been Lifted from Depth Of
300 Feet of Water.
AWAIT REPORT ON DEAD
Naval Experts Say Chlorine Gas May

position.
AWAIT REPORT ON DEAD

-Omcials of the Navy Department await
with great interest reports from Homo
lulu relative to the condition of the
bodies in the wreck Of the submarine
F-4. which sank in Hawaiian waters on
March 25. The boat has been lifted to
the surface and now lies suspended on
pontoons secured to the Quarantine Dock,
at Honolulu.
This is the first time that bodies have
ever been lifted from q depth of 800
feet in water. Naval experts have two
theories as to the condition Of the bodies
In the submarine. One Is that they may
have been preserved by q sort Of chlorine
gas generated by a union Of salt water
with sulphuric acid from the boats bat
teries. The other is that marine life
may have entered the boat, in which
event 1t Is expected that II will be i'm
possible to recognize the remains Of any
Of the thirty-one men who lost their
lives in this disaster.
Boat Breaks from Cables.
The Navy Department has received an
elaborate report on the salvage opera
tions that resulted in the wreck being
brought to the surface. The work was
begun on March Is. the day the loss was
reported to the naval commandant at
Honolulu. It was continued with great
energy despite many difficulties. Repeat
edly the boat was lifted a short distance
only to break from the cables that were
placed about the body OF the submarine
by expert divers. The dead weight lift
ed was go tons. Admiral Boush, who
succeeded Admiral Moore in command
of the Pearl Harbor Station, reported in
part as follows:
"On May % the F-4 was raised
nearly 100 feet, and the next day she
was raised some thirty feet more. AS
she was raised each day she was
towed into shallower water. SO that
in case of bad weather or parting OF
gear she might not go back to the
300-foot depth. This was particularly
necessary as the boat was lying orig
inally upon a very steep slope, vir-
tually submerged mountain side.

within about fifty feet of the surface.

CARDIFF MINERS THREATENING
Coal interests Meet Lloyd George
and President Runcimau.

London, Aug. 3o.-Coal operators and
miners today met Minister of Munitions
Lloyd-George and President Runciman
of the board of trade, in the most i'm
portant conference ever held by repre-.
sentatives Of labor, capital and the gov.
ernment.
While the immediate issue before the
conference was the recent decision OF
President Runciman, the meeting was in
reality to determine whether the British
government should in the future have
the complete support of the Miners Fed
eration-a support rendered necessary by
the ever-decreasing demand for more
ammunition.
The fact that 1900 miners returned to
work in Monmouthshire today was taken
as hopeful sign. but this was more
than balanced by the threat Of the car
diff miners to bring about a general
strike unless they were granted more
concessions.

The other day a well-meaning friend
handed me an anti-liquor tract entitled

the marriage of Adolphus Busch. wherein
he presents his wife with q golden
crown said to cost 100000. Among the
presents were those from former Presi-
dents Taft and Roosevelt.
The rest of the tract Is a shrek. What

would Judge their inmates with minds

an eye to their own political standing,
they would find that defective parentage,
bad rearing and miserable home environ

delinquents behind prison bars. Not only
has the saloon never put q person in
