SEAMAN'S LAW
DECLARED FAULTY
Lafoliette's Measure May be Amend.
ed at Next Meeting Of
Congress-.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON. June 16.-Lafol
lette's seaman's law, passed at the
last session of congress, may be
amended when congress reconvene3.
President Wilson let it be known
that the commerce department is inves-
tigating the laws effect on American
commerce. Inquiry Was started by
various nations representations that
the law violated their treaty rights
and was widened in scope by the Pa
cific Mail Steamship com pany's an
nouncement that it was about to lease
its vessels because of the limitations
placed on its operations.
The president is not yet convinced
that this attitude is Justified, but in
tends to have the entire problem
threshed out and it will depend on
the departments report whether or
not he will recommend amendments
to the law permitting vessels of Amer
lean registry to continue in the for
eign trade.
1t has been represented to him that
the Philippines foreign trade is at an
absolute standstill because of the few
steamers now in the Pacific carrying
trade Pacific coast steamship COM
panies have been sending protests to
Washington against the law, declar-
ing that it gives the Japanese gov
eminent subsidized steamship lines,
an advantage which makes It impos-
sible to compete with them at profit.
These Japanese lines the president
has been told, are now extending their
trade to South America and through
the Panama canal to New York and
Boston.
If the American steamship owners
contention Is found true, it is expect
ed the president will suggest modiffca-
tons of the law which will aid Amer
lean shipping, while at the same time
insuring humane working conditions.

thid time Brown stayed down.
On the same bill Joe Rivers of Cali

of these clubs have proved good

close scores and several Of the games
have gone extra innings. MeCulioch,
alone, has pitched two extra inning
games during the six days the team
was on the road.
Boyle has strengthened his club
through the addition Of WetzeI, In

FORT ELECTRICIAN
 |NVENTS A VALVE
Device Which Prevents Liquids Drawn From Barrels Becoming Con-
 taminated.

Peter Dundon, electrician at Fort Liscum, is of an inventive turn of mind and has invented an automatic valve which he believes will serve to gain him a substantial return for
 the time he has spent in working out the scheme.
 The valve would be especially use.
 full in handling any beverage that must be drawn with gas, water or air pressure such as beer, ale, cider
 wines, etc., that require number of feet of pipe from cooler or cellar to
 where the beverage is drawn. MT. Dunden believes the valve should be 8 great saver, especially
 in parts of the country where the season is hot; where malt beverages are drawn with pressure through 25
 to 50 feet of spiral coil or worm while passing through black tin pipes the liquids become very cool. When changing taps from the empty to the next barrel or package to be used or
 tapped the air gets into the exposed or open end and causes that part of the liquid to become contaminated by
 the bad air of the cellar or place where the liquids are kept.
 The automatic valve which Dunden has originated. and upon which he
 has applied for patent. closes auto
 matically when disconnected. pre- venting air from entering the tube or pipe. When inserted in a new
 barrel the air pressure automatically opens the valve.
 The valve also prevents the liquids or gases from the barrels escaping into the cellar. The device has been tried out in a Valdez tap-room and has been found to give entire satisfac tion.

SURGICAL SHOCK.
Only In . Vague Way Docs Science 1 Know What Cauaes 1t,

Only In . Vague Way Docs Science
 Know What Causes It.
 Shock is still one of the great mys- teries of surgery. Many theories have been put forward to explain just what 1t is. Each of these has seemed at tractive until it's inherent defects were discovered by experience.
 In lecture before the British Royal College of Surgery Dr. A. Rendle Short reviewed these successive theo- ries and described the experiments of himself and others by which they were disproved. But researches by Dr. Grille of Cleveland, Professor Sher. rington of England and Dr. F. H. Pike of Columbia university. New York. seemed to him to offer at least a clew to the real nature of shock. Professor Short did not formulate a definite theory, but suggested that sur gical shock was due to an inhibiting or paralyzing of the important nuclei in the region of the fourth ventricle of the brain and perhaps in the cere' bellum. These are "continually send ing impulses down the spinal cord. maintaining it's functional activity and increasing muscular tone." The effect of this paralysis is to cut otf these i'm pulses. whereupon the functions of the spinal cord are greatly reduced. muscular tone is abolished, and as a secondary result the blood pressure may fall. The respiratory center and perhaps also the vasomotor center share in this inhibition or paralysis.
 Death" said Dr. Short, ''is due to the accumulation of blood in the great veins." % that the flow does not pro. vide a proper filling for the heart.- New York World.
