Cured Saturday afternoon on the sub
marine E-2 while the craft was under

Interior Apparatus Wrecked.
Although the defamation was ter
rifle the submarine itself, from the
outside, shows none of the effects o.
the explosion, the second fatal acct
dent of its kind in the history of the
United States navy.
The interior apparatus was badl,
shattered, but so tight was the YES
sells shell that there was no means
of escape for gas which accumulated
and it was more than an hour aftel
the blast before the work of recover
ing the bodies could be completed. 4
ladder was blown up through the con
ming tower and fell $50 feet away.
The injured men and one body wer,
removed soon after the accident, Blu
the bodies far down in the craft coult
not be reached until the gas had beef
blown out by compressed air.
Rescuers Driven Out.
Soon after the explosion severa
naval officers led a rescue party int
the drydock, but were partly over
come by gas fumes when they al
tempted to descend into the vessel
was then that compressed air pipe
were run into the shell and the ga
forced out.
The number of men inside the sui
marine at the time of the explosion
is not definitely known. About 2
were working on the craft, but all O
them were not in the underwater boa
at the same time. 1t is not though
possible that any one who was insid
could have escaped injury.
Cause Not Determined.
What caused the explosion has nc
been definitely decided as yet.

Washington.-General Carranza and
the de facto government of Mexico are
to be given full opportunity, without
Intervention from the United States, to
run to earth the murderers of eighteen
American citizens at Santa Ysabel last
week and to demonstrate their ability
to restore order and protect foreign
rights in the southern republic.
This was the outstanding fact after
a meeting of the cabinet, conference
between President Wilson and Chair
man Stone of the senate foreign rela-
tons committee.
Administration leaders firmly outlin-
ed in the senate Saturday the position
of the government in the face of de-
nunciation from the republican side,
and another resolution directing inter
vention, proposed by Senator Works
of California. At the state department
officials were awaiting official word
from General Carranza in reply to the
demand made upon him to seek out
and punish the bandit murderers.
Punishment Promised.
General Carranza has announced the
dispatch of troops to capture the out
laws and his purpose to visit "condign
punishment upon every participant in
the massacre"
Measures to facilitate the removal
of Americans from districts where
their lives might be endangered were
discussed by department officials witt
Mr. Arredondo, who later advised Gen
eral Carranza by telegraph that every
assistance be given such American
and escorts provided to accompan.
them into cities where strong garri
sons are maintained. He went fur
Their than the state department sug
gested, recommending that in casei
where foreigners objected to leaving
that they be forcibly removed to poin
of safety.
That large numbers of American
are leaving northern Mexico was re
ported to the department, but it is es
timated that not counting the mem
bers of a Mormon colony at Case
Grandes there are still at Parral, Du
range, MADEIRA and other points, tn
control of which by Carranza is doubt
full, more than 300 That the majorit
of these may remain in spite of warn

Protection if Possible.
When Secretary Lansing was aske
whether the United States government
would protect it's citizens under sue
circumstances he replied that it woul

that in such cases the government

SPOKANE CONGRESS
FAVORS UNIFORMITY

At the concluding session of the
Pacific Northwest Fruit Growers con-
ference Saturday, the joint commission
appointed by the governors of Oregon,
W ashington, Idaho and Montana was
instructed by the growers to work for
uniform laws in the four states con-
cerning apple Diseases grading and
packing, and to endeavor to obtain a
system of state aid for marketing en-
terprises under state control.
The instructions were adopted by a
three-ffths vote after sharp contest
between advocates of federal and state
control. The government control fore
es, which we're defeated, were headed
by E. W. Ross, of North Yakima. Wn.,
former Washington State Land Com
missioner.
Opposition to uniform grading rules
applying to all parts of the state was
voiced by George Biehn. of North Yak.

Bateham, of Mosier, Ore., and A. G.
Allen, of Medford, Ore., protested
against relaxing standards, MIR. Aller
declaring that a district which coulC
not grow an apple meeting standard
requirements should drop that variety
Mt. Ross asserted that it was ridicu
lous to speak of uniform fruit laws fol
four states.
"You can't have uniform grade ant
pack laws for Washington alone" be
said. ''It is ridiculous to speak Of
putting the Wenatchee district into the
same class with the islands of Puget
Sound or Yakima in the same class
with the Palouse. The horticulture
commissioner should be allowed to es
tablish different standards for eact

On a standing vote the motion To-
uniformity in state laws was declared
carried, 33 to 21.

About 100 stations have had their
latitudes and longitudes accurately
determined and as they have been sub
stantially monumented with concrete
blocks, which have Inscribed metal
tablets. they will be available for gen.
erations as starting points of federal.
state. boundary and other surveys and
engineering works.
The party, under c. v. Hodgson,
making this survey. used for the first
time automobile trucks on primary
triangulstion and they proved 80 sue
cessful. that all other surveying parties
engaged on similar work will use this
means of communication. The trucks
carried the party and outfit to the base
of the peaks on which observations were
made with the theodolite. The camp
eauipage and instruments were carried
from the truck to the top of the peaks
by horses or by the members Of the
party.
Accurate elevations Of numerous
mountain peaks were determined by
this survey. In fact. the report
states. it is only by such methods as
were employed that reliable elevation
of peaks can be obtained. 1t is not
feasible to run lines of spirit levels up
the mountain sides and barometric lev
cling gives only crude results.
Most of the observations were made
at night by use of acetylene lamps,
the longest distance observed being 1874
miles.

by the new system, covering what is
known as the Underwood Flat orchard
district. The water will be drawn
from the White Salmen river short
distance below the giant dam of the
Northwestern Electric Company. One
hundred and four feet will be taken
down stream for a quarter of mile.
Only four feet of the water. however,
will reach the irrigable area, the re-
mainder being required to drive the
by draulic pump that will be installed.

will be watered by the new system, are !:

HOOD RIVER BANKS

Local bank clearances and deposits

show a more pronounced prosperity
than at any time for the past four
years. The total deposits of Hood
Rivers three banking institutions show
deposits more than Sl75,000 greater
than at the same time last year, de-
spite the fact that heavy demands
have been made in paying off the nu-
merous transient laborers who have
participated in the harvest of the
bumper apple crop.
Maximum figures taken on dates be-
tween November | and the present
time, show an increase in deposits Of
approximately 500, 900 for the Butler

tional Bank, the deposits net, showing
no expansion of loans; and $38, 600 for

Schools for Women.

Even the hard shell conservatives to-day
accent a reasonably well educated woman
as not less than convenient. The long
fight for the training of women's brains
is so completely won that we hardly re-
member the uphill pioneer work of the last
century. Schools for women have become
- matter of course, and save in the East
ern states. eo-education is the settled meth
cd of giving women equal educational facil-
tiles with men.
Here the system Of separate undergrad
uate colleges still holds sway, and the whole
question is so largely a social one, part and
marcel of the whole complex business OF
practical human relations, that no one will
wish to urge a sudden change on purely
theoretical grounds. 1t is only when WON
en- are, by reason Of segregated schools
denied equal opportunities that complaint
can be found. Such a situation exists at
Columbia. where the postgraduate courses
are largely open TO women, but the I'm
portant exception of the Law School con-
times. The trustees of the university al
present have under consideration pro
posal to end this exclusion, and it is much
to be hoped that it will meet with favor
able action. Two women were but the
other day appointed to the faculty Of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons; anc
the whole spirit of the times as well as the
common sense Of the situation calls for thi:
other act of justice toward such women OF
the city as may desire legal training al
It's best
