WEST FLEET HAS
NEWSB0YS ASHORE

WITH THE PACIFIC FLEET,
Aug. 30.-Nearly every ship in the
Pacific fleet has it's own newsboy,
who, by train, follows it from port
men with the latest papers and,
also, with the latest papers from the
several large home towns" usually
represented among the crew.
The n%ewsboys who serve the Pa
cific fleet are mostly New Workers.
They remained with the units of
the fleet until they left Hampton
Roads for the West coast. They
reached San Diego by train in time
to greet the sailors when the fleet
arrived there. Since then they
have been following the ships up
the coast and plan to continue in
definitely ION the job.t
These "newsies" become the
genuine friends of the sailors. They
become familiar with affairs aboard
ship. They serve the sailors in
many ways. They take them sup
plies. They post letters. They de-
liver messages. In many other
ways, they act as the sailors agent
ashore.
In return, the sailors patronize
the ''newsies" literally and the boys
who have the naval trade in papers
probably make much more than any
city newsboy.
BY right of seniority Peggy"
Brown is considered the chief of
the ''newsies" of the fleet. He finds
his patrons among the men on the
dreadnaught Mississippi, which he
has followed about ever since it
was launched.
Before that, he served in the
navy and in an accident lost a leg.
Because Of a wooden one he uses, he
is called Peggy" Recently there
was a he had been killed In
Los Angeles. Gloom enveloped the
Mississippi like fog. When he re-
appeared, the Mississippi's crew
felt happier than if a days liberty
had been granted.
Others of the newsboy force are
F. Muglar, who serves the flagship
New Mexico; l.. Sullivan, the Ver-
mont, Nebraska and Georgia; Joe
Messin, the Texas and Seattle; I.
Sherman, the Wyoming, and E.
Brown, "Peggy's" brother, the Ar
kansas.

ASSASSIN SUSPECT
NOW SlAv LEADER

SARAJEVO, Aug. 29.-One of
the men who were arrested by Aus
trian authorities after the assassin
alton of Archduke Ferdinand in
1914, is now president of the pro-
vincial government Of Bosn:a-Herze-
govina and is recognized as one o:
the leaders in the now kingdom of
Jugo-Slavia. He is Atanasije Shola.
He was kept in prison at hard labor
during the war.
Today, in his office in what was
formerly part of an Austrian palace,
Mr.. Shola described his years in
prison and subsequent rise to power.
He is a Herzegovina. AZ years old
and considered to be a man of ex-
ceptional ability.
"One hundred and fifty-six of us
were placed under arrest in July,
1914" he said. There was nc
proof that l was in sympathy with
the Jugo-Slav propaganda, but the
authorities suspected what was in
my heart. Sixteen of the men ar.
rested at that time were condemned
to death. The death penalties were
not executed, because OF the re.
monstrance by the King of Spain
but the prison sentences were all
made effective.
Il went to- prison on July 26

RYE FLOUR CLAIMED
SUPERIOR TO WHITE

CHICAGO. Aug. 29.-To a con-
siderable extent, feeding the eyes,
instead OF the stomach is respond
sibie for the high cost of living, acS
cording to authorities here in the
milling and grain trade. They cite
the fact that rye flour Is $z.55 a
barrel cheaper than white flour al
though, except for looks, the rye
flour is equally good or better as
food.
Unusual cheapness of rye flour at
this time is ascribed to two couses
the stoppage of whiskey distill-
ing and the substitution of white
bread for rye by thousands of work
ingmen, who, until the era of high
used rye bread as a rule.
1t is said also by the milling X
perts that so far as known here the
United States government is pur-
chasing only white flour for ship
ment to Europe Notwithstanding
that the bulk of the population
across the Atlantic is far more ac-
customed to rye bread than white

QUEER SHIP BUILT
!. OF HER OWN CARGO

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 27.-A
ship that is it's own cargo, a cargo
Of lumber that propels itself-such
is the nature of one of the queerest
which within a weeks time will
leave a Vancouver mill on it's way
to England.
This odd ship, the dream of John
Arbnihnot, former mayor of Win
nipeg and now a resident of Vic
.toria. Is being translated into fact
by the Furber Lumber company,
backed ly the great Vickers inter-
ests of England. The ship-for it
will be 2 ship, though mill-built--
will contain or be composed of
100000 feet of Douglas fir and
have an engine installed capable Of
giying the craft a six-knot speed
Two months after the vessel leaves
its builders" it is expected, it will
have been dismantled in England,
the lumber placed on sale or de-
livered to buyers, and the 5000 200
worth Of machinery, compasses and
other equipment on it's way back to
British Columbia to be installed in
another vessel of the same type.
Each vessel will be $50 feet long,
of so foot beam, SO feet deep and
will draw 81 feet. The vessels may
be reconstructed by ~.unskilled work
ers with the aid of a few ship
wrights. Similar craft for AIS

ed. will have pointed bows and will
resemble ordinary ships. Regula-
ton quarters are to be provided.
Back of the novel ship construc-
ton, of course, is a new and sup
posedly economical method of trans
porting lumber. After much puz-
cling, officers of Lloyd's Insurance
company issued a new kind of in
surance on the first vessel of this
type. at approximately the same rate
as sailing ship insurance.

REMEDIES
SEIZED BY GOVT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 90
Four hundred and fifty seizures OF
so-called remedies for social dis
eases have been made recently UNI
der the food and drug act by fed
eral officials who have inaugurated
a campaign to suppress this variety
of ''quack' medicine. In making
this announcement today the Blu
reau of Chemistry of the depart
ment of agriculture issued a gem
eral warning that use of such rem
edies" vas extremely dangerous and
likely to lead to a long period of
suffering.
THE goods seized include "a great
variety of compounds" said the bu-
reau's announcement. Some of
the labels bear the claim of the
manufacturer that the contents are
sure cures. Some even contain
statements that cures will be eff
fected within definite periods.
I'm all the seizure actions the
government alleged the preparations
to be falsely and fraudulently la
beled. Such preparations are sold
largely because of plausible but
false claims regarding their cura-
tive effect. Many sufferers are led
to believe that cures will be effected
by these preparations. and mean
while adequate treatment under
competent medical supervision is
neglected until permanent injury to
health and even danger of life has
resulted"

STRIKES DISCUSSED
BY BRITISH SOlOh

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The strike
was characterized as "a two-edged
weapon which should be used only
as a last resort in enforcing work
ers' demands by James Henry
Thomas, a member of parliament
for Derby and general secretary of
the National Union of Railwaymen,
in his first public address after re-
turning from a visit to the United
States where he studied the labor
situation.
America had strengthened her
economic situation during the war
and controlled or produced every
thing hat the rest of the world re-
q6ired, Mr.. Thomas declared. IN
less England at once repaired the
losses of the past four years, re
said, disaster would stare the coun-
try in the face.
The speaker said he believed that
the government itself did mach to
popularize the strike by refusing at
the Cancellation table today what
they would concede tonorroW
merely on the threat of a strike.
1.-The first essential is that con-
fidence Immediately be restored to
the working classes" Mr.. Thomas
stated. Employers must realize
that the men and women who were
responsible for saving the country
expected fair and square dealing
while workers, on their part, mus
not be carried away by the mistaken
notion that wealth consisted in mere
D money-but must remember
that the nation had to regain not
only self-confidence, but the con.
fidence of the world"

EX-MAR|NES JOIN
FORMER PALS IN
SAN DOMINGO

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Just to
meet once more the "buddies" with
whom they served four years 6 in
China, John C. Smith of Corey,
Mich, and Kinzie McGraw re-en
listed today in the marine corps.
Smith and McGraw wandered into
the Twenty-third street recruiting
station and because they were lone
some and wanted to chew the fat"
with a few old-timers. After a
long talk about old times in the
Far East and in France, McGraw
said: II didn't come here to do it,
but I'd ship over right now if
could be with the old Pekin crowd
again"
"Me, too" said Smith.
Those men are all in San Do
mingo now" replied the recruiting
sergeant.
So both men re-enlisted to be
with the chums they met on the
other side of the Pacific.

EXPERTS TO DECIDE
PICTURES ON ROCKS

SPOKANE, Wash. Aug. 81
Whether painted symbols on the
rocky banks of the Columbia river,
in, Klickitat county, Washington, are
Indian symbols or whether they are
the records of early Teutonic ex-
plorers is to be submitted to experts
of the bureau of Indian affairs at
Washington. d. c., for their verdict.
That the pictures are fragments
of early history of the tribesmen
of the Pacific northwest is the be-
lief of w. S. Lewis of this city, Sec
rotary of the Eastern Washington
Historical society. He believes they
are $50 years old.
The theory that they are the writ
ings of European travellers of many
hundreds of years ago is held by
Oluf Opsjon, a student of archaeol-
ogy who resides at Dishman, neal
this city. The same symbols also
were discovered by Mr.. Opsjon, he
says, ON a big stone on the seashore
north of Boston, Mass.
The painted rocks" are on the

Among the pictures" are those of

as Part of an astronomical symbol.
He believes they were intended to

TOGETHER URGED

HONOLULU, Aug. 27.-The get

plication of the methods of cham
bers Of commerce and boards OF
trade, is all that is required to In
sure friendly relations between the
United States and Japan, according
to Baron J%ujitori Otori, Japanese
ambassador to Mexico, who is on his
way home for a visit.
ITO promote and insure a better
understanding between the peoples
of the United States and Japan, and
to further n~eutralize harmful pro-
paganda endangering friendly rela-
tions," said the baron, 'it is essen
tial that henceforth honest and
courageous efforts be made by all
concerned to meet in open discussion
of the political, economical and So
cial problems facing the two ma
tions.
"A barrier of ignorance, race
hatred and Jealousy has unfortun-
ately substituted the innocent iso.

United States.
with the universal acceptance Of
democracy and liberal thought in
international relations, 1t is time
there should be a closer and better
understanding between the two ma
tons. Let us have a real get-to'
gether movement; let us rub ell
bows and get acquainted.
ITO facilitate the early realiza'
ton of such a movement, l wish tc
make these suggestions:
"Tha. the diplomatic, consular
and other official representatives OF
Japan and America be selected from
men willing to give hearty co-opera
ton toward cementing cordial rela'
lions.
That scholarships be established
in the leading American and Japa'
nese universities devoted to the his
tory and literature of both coun'
tries.
THAT Japanese university gradu'
ates, thoroughly familiar with Eng
lieil, be allowed to m~atriculate II
American universities for post grad

examination.
THAT trade and other commits
sions, composed of leading citizens
exchange visits for the purpose o.
obtaining first hand information OF
public questions.
THAT the agency of the motor
picture be employed in both coun
tries to diffuse knowledge of geog
raphy, customs, dress and socia

EXTREMISTS LOSE OUT
WITH FRENCH LABOR

PARIS, Ang. 29.-The recent
collapse of the movement for a gen.
eral strike is explained in some
quarters by the saying that, while
the extremists were getting con
troll of the socialist party, they were
losing their hold on the labor
unions, which, 100000 strong be-
fore the war, now have a member
ship of more than 1,500,O 900. The
500, 900 were well in hand, it is
said, but the 100000 have
brought with them a certain indie
pendence, of thought and action.
The consequence is that the vast
majority of union men are not
ready to accept such radical meas
ures as a general political strike.
The national committee of the
labor federation has issued a sort
of platform declaring that produc-
ton should be stimulated ard in
creased by all possible means, and
demanding customs barriers be
broken down, that inflated paper
circulation be suppressed, that ma
tional economic council be organized
together with a national OrganiZa.

SCRUGHAM
AND G"9vERMORsH|P
FORMER DEAN AND PRESENT
STAT EENGINEER, SOUND
ING SENTIMENT

Several Nevada newspapers in ad-
dition to San Francisco n Sacra-
mento papers have recently carried
conspicuous mention of the probable
candidacy of Colonel j. G. Scrugham
for the gubernatorial nomination in
the 1922 campaign. Coionei
Scrugham's first contest would be in
the democratic primaries in which
his principal opponent would be
Maurice J. Sullivan.
Louis Speller, political writer for
the Reno Gazette, has the following
comment in a recent issue of that
newspaper:
although the next gubernatorial
campaign is far in the offing, ru-
mors of probable candidates keep
rising to the surface. The latest
democratic possibility is Col. J. G..
lScrugkam, state engineer, and those
who claim to be on the inside look
ing out insist that he is being
groomed by certain party leaders to
head the state ticket in 1922. They
couple with their assertions a claim
that Colonel Schugham has ambi-
lions along those lines himself.
Colonel Scrugham is considered
one of the best qualified technical
men in the state. He has spent
several years in Nevada, connected
with the state university and is re-
garded as one of the best electrical
engineers in the country. He was
the head of the mechanical engi-
neering school of the university up
to the time he accepted the position
as state engineer. His career as an
educator began several prior
to his coming to Nevada. Shortly
after his appointment as state engi-
neer he resigned to accept a COM
mission as major in the ordnance
department, and Dol was promoted
to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
During his connection with the uni
versity, and while state engineer
he has cultivated a state wide acA
quaintance which will be quite an
asset should he decide to enter the
1922 campaign. Nothing has come
from Colonel Scrugham personally
that would indicate that he has any
political ambitions, but the insistent
undercurrent coming from his
friends seems to augur that it is
something more than idle gossip.
I'm all probability Mauce j. Sui
livan, lieutenant governor and adj
jutant general, serving h.
second term, will be Scrugham's pri-
mary election opponent in case the
state engineer becomes a candidate
Sullivan had guberhatorial ambi-
lions in the last campaign. and al
one time, when Governor Boyle
said he would not be d candidate
for reelection. announced his own
candidacy for the place, aGuing that
in case Governor BOYLE decided to
get into the fight he ,ould with
draw. That Sullivan will retire
from politics when his present term
expires is not considered likely by
any one and that he will seek the
| gubernatorial nomination seems
about the most logical conclusion to
reach"

BERT KN|GHT SHOT AND
SERIOUSLY HURT BY

shot three times and seriously
wounded by Walter Church, 6 cafe
and restaurant keeper, at 10 o'clock
this morning on Columbia street al
most in front of Fields tailor shop.
The cause of the shooting is a
mystery and the only clue is a re-
mark said by Frields to have been
made by Church Immediately before
he DID the shooting. Fields says
Church called to Knight: 81 gave
the woman $685." knight. his wife
known as Patsy" and his Hife's sis

The shooting was done with a
.3S-caliber revolver. According to
Fields, three shots were fired. One
bullet, making a serious wound, en-
tered the left arm above the elbow,

turned and entered the lung cavity.
Another bullet entered the right
shoulder and passed from the body

Perry,s bootblack stand Immediately
before the shooting and walked
north on Columbia street. Church.
who a short time before had been
seen going toward the Goldfield ho-
tel, was walking behind them and it
is said that knight turned when
tChurch made the remark regarding
the $165. Church, according to Col
Inns, started shooting Immediately
following the remark and after re-
ceiving the three bullets knight, on
advice of Collins, ran behind an
automobile and from there walked
across the street, where, standins
in front of the Development com-
pany's office, he is said to have re-
marked: "Well, l guess he shot me
all right"
Church was arrested by Der
Sheriff Bogard before he reached
the corner of Ramsey street. Knight
was taken to a point in front of the
Cook bank and from there to st.
Mary's hospital by DR.. Mccarthy.
His condition is said to be serious
with the result of the bullet in the
lung depending on what, IL any,
complications result.
Deputy Sheriff Box said that when
placed in Jail Church was about
half shot," He said he could smell
liquor on his breath.
Knight was not in condition to
talk this morning and Church could
not be seen. District Attorney Foley
said that persons who might prove
sources of information on the cause
of the shooting were reticent. 1t is
said that previous to the shooting
Church was beaten by knight. but
when this occurred is not known.
Blood was clotted on Church's
clothes when he was taken to jail
and he showed the effect of rough
usage.
