HOW TO KEEP BABY,s SKIN WELL

The regular use of Resinol Soap is
usually enough to prevent those dis

most babies are subject. This is so,

State POLICE LAW
STILL IN MIDDLE
Legislation Probably viii Fall to
Change Duties of the
TWO Officers

CARSON CITY, March 14.-The
state police measure to make the
superintendent of police also warden
OF the penitentlary, came up in both
houses Saturday with but little real
progress. In the assembly the bill In
troduced by the assembly conferees
was reported favorably by the judic.
iary committee, with protest by
Schmidt, Dickenson and Scott of the
committee recorded on the journal.
In the senate the original bill by
bradshaw came up for comment but
no definite action was taken.
1t seems evident now that should a
hill be passed by both houses the leg
isiature will have adjourned before
The time which the governor is per-
mitted to keep bill shall have ex.
pired. 1t is believed that the com.
plications that have arisen will re.
suit in no change whatever being
made in the existing law and that the
superintendent OF police and the
warden of the prison will continue to
operate under the existing law.

HAVANA, Cuba, March 15.-With
the announcement from Governor
Bustinlo today that he would not in
terfere with the proposed fight be-
tween Jack Johnson, heavyweight of
the world, and Jess Willard, the last
cloud on the horizion has Blown away
and Jack Curley and his associates
have announced that the big fight will
be pulled Off here April 4th.
The terms Of the fight were not given
out but 1t Is thought that Johnson re-
ceived heavy share of the gate re-
ceipts as 1t is known here that the
big black was slow to accept terms
of any kind. When proposed to John
son that the fight be arranged in
Juarez as per the original schedule,
the big smoke shook his head and de-
clared that the Mexican city was too
close to the United States and Jail
for him.
Willard Satisfied.
When asked as to the portion of
the receipts he would receive, Jess
Willard shook his head Pm salts
fed" was the only reply he would
make. 1t is known that Willard is
confident that he will be able to de-
feat the champion and he considers
himself well paid in winning the
championship even If his share of the
receipts happens to be small.
The referee of the match has not
been decided on yet. Several men
prominent in the atmosphere of the
roped arena have been suggested, but
Johnson, showing his usually obstinate
disposition, has agreed to none yet.

LINCOLN BEACHEY Meets
DEATH WHEN MACHINE
PLUNGES into BAY

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-The
spectacular career of Lincoln Beachey,
one of the most daring of American
aviators, was ended today when he fell
to his death at the Panama-Pacific ex-
position in sight of thousands of spec
tators.- Beachy was completing his
second flight OF the day when the ac-
cident occurred. Having previously
electrified the crowd with series of
aerial somersaults, the airman sought
to add an additional thrill by making
one of the sensational perpendicular
drops which, usually featured his
flights.
The fatal fall was attributed to the
fact that Beachey intrusted his life to-
day for the first time to new mono.
plane. An exceptionally large crowd
had been attracted to the fair grounds
to see whether he would attempt the
same breath-taking stunts in the new
machine that he had performed in his
trim little biplane.
tWth the first flight all went well
and the aviator's familiar tricks were
indulged in with the exception of the
perpendicular drop.
Falls Like a Shot.
This Beachey had saved for the cli-
max. 1t proved too much CT strain
for the monoplane. The ma, ,hine was
at an altitude Of about 5000 feet when
Beachey shut of his power. For sew.
eral seconds 1t dropped head on for
the earth and then the aviator grasped
his control lever to adjust the planes
for the graceful descent which had
characterized his previous flights. At
that point the wings crumpled like a
collapsed umbrella and the aeroplane,
turning over and over in its fall,
plunged into San Francisco bay, mar
rowly missing vessel lying at the
government transport docks.
Thousands Of spectators rushed to
the nearby waterfront, but with the
exception OF few splintered frag.
ments of aeroplane floating on the sur
face Of the bay, no sign Of the wreck
was to be seen.
Body Found.
Launches put out Immediately,
equipped with graphing hooks, and a
boats crew from the battleship Ore
gon, which was anchored in the stream
short distance away, joined in the
attempt to recover the body OF the
aviator, who was strapped to his ma
chine under forty feet Of water.
The body was recovered shortly af.
ter 5 o'clock, about two hours after the
accident. Divers from the oregon,
searching the shallow inshore waters
OF the bay found the crushed form OF
the air man entangled in the twisted
rods and torn canvas OF the machine.
With axes tho divers freed the body
from the wreokage, and brought II
to the surface.

aviator, Witnessed the tragedy. He
was standing on tho deck of the Uni

could rise from their chairs, they
were hurled to the floor by second

passengers were lowered away in the

they jumped clear, as wide as they
could, and swan until they were pick
