OUR other Senator Johnson, Mag
" nus of Minnesota, has been in the
East talking, being interviewed and
calling on President Coolidge. The
"effete" part of the country seemed
disappointed to find that MagnuS
wasn't a freak, but was well dressed,
benevolent appearing and quite civil
lied. At the White House he conferred
with Mr.. Coolidge and Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace on price fixing for
agricultural products. When he came
out he said: 81 told President Cool
idge that price fixing is the only REM
edy for the present distressing situa-
ton. 1 also told him about the pro-
ducers' alliance and it's determination
to hold the crop off the market until
the producers could obtain fair price
for their products. The President was
sympathetic, but he had evidently not
made up his mind"

SHIP FOUND ON BIG ICEBERG
Captain Of Steamer Sights Large Mass
Of Ice Carrying Three-Masted
Schooner.

For centuries mystery ships have
sailed the seas, guided only by the
winds Of chance One of them was
found by a steamer captain rounding
the Horn recently. While cropping mis-
way into the open, a gigantic mass of
ice carrying large three-masted
schooner, with it's boats still in the
clefts, was sighted. Efforts were made
to find the survivors, but no trace of
them was discovered. Another sea
tragedy was added to the already long
list Of those as yet unsolved when a
Greenland whaler came upon a strange
looking derelict, battered and weather
worn, apparently built in the last CEN
tury and ice-bound for years. A board
ing crew found in the cabin the body
Of a young woman, preserved by the
Arctic frosts. Near a long-dead fire

Odd Musical instruments.

The ordinary handsaw has appeared
as musical instrument. One seeker
after novelties uses a saw as a violin.
After long experience and untiring
practice he has actually succeeded in
getting an agreeable music from the
tool.
He holds the saw handle between
his legs, holds the tip of the saw in
one hand, and works the usual violin
bow with the other. The vibrating
steel blade emits soft, appealing notes,
the pitch Of which is varied by chang
ing the curvature of the blade. ALI
sorts Of queer effects can be got by
adept manipulation Of the blade.
Sometimes the music resembles the
human voice; again it has the weird
wall Of the Hawaiian ukulele.

Daniel E. Douty, representing the
silk industry of America, told Premier
Yamamoto and the minister of agri-
culture last week that the Japanese
silk trust is blocking shipments, caus-
ing an economic loss of $3O,O00,O0O
monthly, and that this will cause the
great mills at Paterson and Passaic to
close down very soon. Though Yoko-
hama cannot be used as port until
probably next year, the Japanese trust
refuses to permit temporary transfer
of shipments to Kyoto, NagOya and
Shimidzu.
Official Japanese figures place the
number of known dead in the earth
quake at 100000, the injured at 1885,
600 and the missing at 235,000. These
figures are probably oyercOnservative.

president COOLIDGE has let it
L be known that he will hold Sc
ries of conferences with influential
Democratic senators, as well as with
Republican leaders, to obtain their
ideas as to the best way of getting
action on the proposition of Amer
lean membership in the world court.
Because he has pledged himself to
carry out Mr.. Harding's policies, the
President will remind the senate that
the protocol still awaits its action,
but it is understood in Washington
that he will not attempt to force its
adoption. He wants the question out
of the way early, however, so that con-
gress shall be free to devote its atten-
ton to domestic problems.
Among the friends of Hiram john
son the announcement of the Presi-
dents intention to consult the Demo-
Gratis was taken to mean that he would
exert his influence in favor Of the
world court plan, and they believe this
will bring the California senator out
as an avowed candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination. Indeed, Mr.. john
son has said as much, though he de-
clares he will not yet do anything to
embarrass the President.

stand this morning by Mrs. Forna-

fatal night of January ., up TO the
time she was rendered unconscious
by blows on the head from her as
sailants. The few minutes that
elapsed from the time the intruders
entered the house until che lost
consciousness, were sufficient to
print an indelible picture of the
men in her mind, which not even
all the weeks OF suffering she has
gone through, nor the loss of her
husband, could offaee.
Those who are connected with the
ease, feared to place her under the
severe strain of the witness stand,
but she stood the ordeal well and
showed she has won the battle for
her life, after being at the door OF
death for many weeks. Now she is
