car, scoop and deposit its shovelful of
ore into a car at any position along
side of the machine. 1t is very COM
pact in form and capable of being
worked in any drift in the mine. and
when completely assembled can be
hoisted or lowered on any of the
cages in the Ellison shaft. 1t uses
about as much air in its operations
as two drilling machines, and its
movements are directed and con-
trolled by one man, sitting on seat
on the machine. 1t required study
of many years to perfect the machine
which operates as readily in narrow
drifts as in wide, high Slopes" II

The issue of whether the sultan

international importance the Adriatic

DISAGREE ABOUT /
ARMY AVIATION
FLIERS' EFFORTS DURING WAR
SUBJECT OF LONG UNDE-
CSIVE DEBATE.

Washington, March 8.-After four
hours discussion of American avia-
tion efforts during the war, the house
sitting as committee, reported to-
day to the whole house that it had
done to no resolution" on the con-
flicting reports of the special inves-
tigating committee made after pro-
longed industry into the air program
and it's results.
Even this announced by the COM
mittee of the whole did not pass un-
challenged, republicans and demo-
Gratis disagreeing as sharply as they
had during debate on the investigat-
ing committee reports. The disposi-
tion made, however, was true to the
program of republican leaders Their
spokesmen during the debate de-
clared the only purose was to make
known the facts of the war time avi-
alton failure"
Democratic speakers pictured the
American aviation efforts as sue
cess" that gave the allies predomi-
nance of the air. Such mistakes
as were admitted by these speakers
were said to be only what were to be
expected in so novel and gigantic an
enterprise.
Representative Frear, Wisconsin
and Magee, New York, republicans
of the investigating committee, led
the attack on war department and
aviation officials, sharply arraignins
them for acts and policies in regard
to aviation during the war.
Representative Lea, California, the
democratic committeeman, captained
the democratic defense, supported by
Representative Flood, democrat oi

TRAINS '..,.''
ARE NOW RUN
MILWAUKEE STARTS SERVICE
ON THE COAST LINE.

Seattle, Wash, March 8.-Electric
locomotives, driven by current gene
rated by waterpower. has started
pulling trains over the coast division
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway. The Columbian, the COM
pany's overland train, was the first
to leave Tacoma, on the coast end,
behind an electric locomotive.
Electrification of the coast divi-
sion, which eXtende 2O7 miles from
Tacoma to Othello, in central Wash
ington, makes a total of CAT miles
ov which the Milwaukee line ope-
rates electric locomotives. The Mon
tana and Rocky Mountain 6visions,
from Harlowtown, Mont, to Avery,
Idaho. were electrified in 1915 and
1916. The electric engines, it is es-
timated, will make the grades at
about 25 miles an hour.
When the Avery-Othello gap is
closed the Milwaukee will ehave $50
miles of it's western line electrified.
From 80 to 95 electric locomotives
will be doing the work that about
ESQ steam locomotives performed
Substitution of water power for steam
over the $50 miles will save approx.
imately 100000 tons of coal and 40.-
100000 gallons of fuel oil annually
the company estimates. Glacial
streams of Mt. Rainier will suppls
some of the power which will bt
used to drive the engines.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 8-Marv
Pickford, weeping and worn, stun
bled from the train, here on her re-
turn from Minden. Nevada, where she
obtained divorce decree from Owen
Moore.
Miss Pickford waited until the pas
sengers had all left the car, then
peered out, and seeing newspaper
men and camera men, flanked> by a
crowd of the curious, she fled from
the opposite side of the car. AS she
ran, with tears streaming down her
face, she stumbled and fell. Her
mother helped her up, and they fled
to a waiting automobile and sped
away.
Miss Pickford would not pause to
answer the questions fired at her by
eager interviewers, but her mother
spoke for her.
This is entirely personal mat.

FIVE MILLION BARRELS

Washington. d. c., March 8.--Five

would be authorized.
The flour now held at American
ports, and for which the corporation
asks $1O.75. a barrel. is 1.-The cheapest
in the world" Mr.. Barnes told the
committee. He added that every ef-
fort had been exhausted to sell 1t for
cash." but that American housewives
would pay higher prices for the hard
wheat flour. a4
why are prices of flour going
up?" asked Representative Fess, re-
publican, of Ohio. 'f
"The last year crop yield was pc.
culiar one," answered Mr.. Barnes
There was a small yield of the
strong wheat and big yield of the
soft wheat Flouf made of the soft
wheat could be obtained for domes-
tie use at all times at the exact re-
Election of the government guaran-
teed price of wheat.
1.-The pressure fora different kind
of flour by the housewives led the
millers to bid up the price. and in
North Dakota in five months the hard
wheat price was increased 60 cents a
bushel above the guarantee"

EAST WANTS
A WET PLANK
ADMINISTRATION LEADERS NOT
TRYING TO CALL OFF JER-
SEY GOVERNOR.

Washington, d. c.. March s.
While there is no dimunition of en-
thusiasm or lack of effectiveness on
the part of government officials who
are charged with the enforcement of
the prohibition laws, it is neverthe-
less fact that considerable part OF
the Wilson administration looks with
favor upon the so called "wet wave"
which is sweeping the eastern sea-
board.
The prohibition question seems ev-
ery now and then to supercede all
other phases of political discussion
and it is no secret that were it not
for fear of what havoc William ].
Bryan might wreak at the San Fran
cisco convention, the agitation begun
by Gov. Edwards of New Jersey
would get more enthusiastic. support
from democratic leaders who control
delegations and who are thoroughly
wet.
Western democrats, however, who
know of Mr.. Bryan's potentiality for
political mischief, are advising eau
tion. They even argue the merit of
prohibition as affecting their states,
how the penitentiaries have been
emptied and the retail merchants
have prospered, but this sort of argu-
ment makes little effect on the thirs-
ty men of the east, who do not see
why under liberalization of the pro-
hibition laws the same civic objects
could not be attained.
For one thing none of the vets in
the administration has even friend
ly word to say for the saloons. That.
they declare, is gone for good Nor
do they champion the cause of whis-
key. But they insist that some sort
of beverage like light wines or beer
should be permitted the country. In
deed, the Wilson people who favor 4
liberal platform on the prohibition
question are fearful lest the brewers
or the liquor interests may get be-
hind what seems to wet folks here a
spontaneous reaction against prohi-
bition. They would prefer the popu-
lar demonstration to continue unin-
spired by any organization of busi-
ness interests which could be suspect
ed of a selfish motive in the settle
ment of the question.
Some administration officials point
out that the extreme tactics used by
the anti-saloon league should not be
duplicated by any institution favor
ing the wet cause, or the public will
not be reused in support of reform
of the prohibition law.
Politically, however, it is interest
ing to watch such activities as those
of Gov. Edwards of New Jersey, who
is campaigning on wet platform.
There is a genuine expectation that
he will enter presidential preference
primaries in several states and gather
in a large vote, more as demonstra-
tion of how the rank and file in the
democratic party feel about the wet
question than any special indorse'
ment of Mr.. Edwards himself, for
admittedly his personality has not
been known west of the Delaware
river before this year.
Briefly, many of the democratic
leaders do not look unfavorably or
the Edwards movement. They think
it will help them decide in. advance
of the San Francisco convention
whether it is going to be popular to
insert plank urging light wines and
beer for the nation.
