BIG BORDER GUARD URGED
BY REPUBLICAN SENATORS
Call Party Conference, Discuss Disquieting Reports, but
Put Off A~ction-Expect More Data Tomorrow
Take Up $4,000 Volunteer Move.

WAsHiNGroN. March 25.-Republican
senator hastily held n party conference
to-day to consider the situation on the
Texas border. Senator Gallingcr, chair
mar OF the conference. called the meet
Ing after hearing from several Senators
who had received disquieting reports
concernWg the Mexican situation. .After
an hours discussion the conference ad-
journed TO meet again at 10 80 Monday
morning.
II is expected that more dehnit in
formation will be in hand 1T that time.
Nest OF the information of a disturbing
character concerning conditions OH the
border received by Senator's has come
from individuals who are for the most
part unknown to the recipients of the
messages. The situation they describe
as critical. The Information given out
from official sources is meagrc but re-
assuring.
senator Fail of New Mexico is now
at III raso and il Is believed tina be-
fore long he will have some facts to
w ffR III &ol-
leagues. Some Senator's are In COM
munication with him. but up to this
time have not hid Information upon
which they feel free TO act.
NH> lrRr Volunteers.
Thu situation is such that i may
develop sufficiently before Monday to
Indicate just what the necessities and
duties OF the United States seem to them
10 be. Two tentative resolutions were con-
sidered in to-day's confeN one was
offered by Senator Cunimins. the other by
senator McCumber. They were of the
same general import. 10th were dcclar-
atory. They expressed the sens ~ the
endtc that the situation IL such on
the border that every ~procaution should
he taken 10 pro,r,. lifc and property
and that the President IS warranted In
Increasing the size of III" army. IL ncces-
sary, by calling ont volunteers.
The sherman resolution authorizing
the immediate calling out OF 10000 vol
untecrs for service IN Mexico as rccn-
forcemcnts TO the regulars WAS referred
To frequently in tho discussion, but no
action VAS taken on II.
Some OF the Senators present were at
a loss to know Just what tn. conference
could 10 to help the situation. Finally
Il was agreed that nothing further than
q d-claratury resolution could hr put
through expressing II Ia h. M" sense OF
the S,nat that tn" ADMINISTRATOR
should spare no pains to see that the
border is not neglected.
Some OF the speeches We're filled with
criticism Of the alleged lack ~ interest
exhibited by the secretary Of stat" and
the Secretary of Wal IN the calls sent
from the border for help and protection.
Cnc senator expressed the opinion that
III the proper spirit had been shown
toward the many warnings received
from the border there would have been
no such happening as that at Columbus.

All Unusual Case in Recorders
Court.

Mi. D. r. McCallum was this
morning sentenced in Recorder
Harby's court to pay q fine of $40 or
to serve twenty-four hours In the city
jail on the charge Of contempt of
court to which he plead guilty, when
arratgned. 1t seems that Mr.. Nc
Callum was summoned to the re-
corder's court for three o'clock yes
terday afternoon to serve as q Juror
IN one Of the liquor cases being held.
He told the officer, who notified him
Of the summons, that he had another
engagement and did not have time
to se,ve on the jury, stating that he
would not serve.
Failing to appear at the appointed
time, Recorder Hardy this morning
served Mr.. McCallum with a sum-
mons to his court at noon with a
rule 10 show aus why he should not
be adjudsed in contempt of court.
Mr.. McCallum answered the sum-
mons and appeared at noon, when he
was given a hearing. He stated that
he had a very important business en-
easement yesterday afternoon and
thought that his place on the jury
might easily be filed by the court
ceiling fn-s0a7s-cns ese-tu-1efyc-he
not deeming his services absolutely
necessary to the trial Of the case.
When the new method Of drawing the
Juries for cases in the recorders
court was explained. he stated that
he did not know of these changes.
Mr.. Hardy explained that under the
new system 1t was very improbable
that any n would be called or to
serve in the recorders court more
than once a year and that the selec-
ton Of jurors was not left to the
court, or its officials, but to the
chance of the citizens being drawn,
as in the higher court. He stated
that he could not overlook the ignor-
ing of the summons and the showing
OF contempt for his court, so un-
pleasant as 1t was, he deemed the case
one where a fine was necessary. The
fine was paid at once

agnosis the physician stated that an operation was necessary The patient was taken to the hospital. The operation was performed. It was successful. On the follow ing day the patient was very weak. She was also in a state of nauseousness as result of hav- ing been under the ether. The surgeon who performed the op- eration came into the room. The patient said: Doctor, l never was so sick in my life. 1 hope 1 am not going to die, but it will do no harm for you to know my wishes in case l should pass away. 1 would want to be bur- jed in Seattle. Wrangell is my home, and it is dearer to me than any other spot on earth, but up there burial is a matter of such great difficulty that should feel ashamed to put my friends to so much trouble. There is no road from the town to the cemetery. The only way to reach the city of the dead is by boats. When there is a funeral gas boat fleet forms the funeral cortege. If the weather is stormy and the water rough the burial must be postponed. Not long ago a citi- zen of Wrangell died during a spell of stormy weather and the funeral was postponed from day to day for more than a week, waiting for the water to become smooth enough to permit the voy- age to the cemetery being made without shaking the corpse over- board.''

length of time and at the end will slit down to one.
 Personally Jack London was a flambuoyant character. boastfu! and egotistical. Yet Jack London made friends in the market. He wrote stories of red blood. He followed with Rex Beech in the wild kind of writing of wild social conditions.
 He was an entertaining writer. undoubtedly: the sale of his books is proof of this.
 But when the history of Ameri- can literature is written Jack Lon don will not occupy lengthy space.
 It was because ot his cratic talent. his spasmodic desire to do big things at one moment and then lapse into an indifferent mood, that kept him from being a great writer.
 We will read "Jerry," his last story. and think better of the man.
