TO MAKE POWER SURVEY

The State of Pennsylvania will
shortly begin survey of the Susque-
hanna River with view to it's possi-
biIities as source Of supply for
power. The Giant Power Survey
which has just been organized to
study all the waterways of the State
will start on the Susquehanna first,
covering the existing power station
at McCall's Ferry and other projects
starting in Luzerne and other coun-
ties. A number of dams used years
ago for canals, FORCES and grain mills
have been located at different places
and the water power is being
calculated.
The Sanitary Waters Board is
having the stream studied from the
pollution standpoint considering
the many industrial plants as well
as municipalities draining into it..
The Fisheries Department has as
signed wardens to make immediate
investigation of all pollution and its
effects on fish which will supplement
work started year ago.
Another line of inquiry will be
the tonnage of small sizes of anthra-
cite which is being reclaimed from
the river. Owing to the coal strike
there is much activity among the
dredgers. Thousands of tons are
being taken out below Sunbury.
Near McCalls Ferry the fuel recover
ed is indeed valuable asset instead
of being nuisance, as feared when
the big dam was built.

A Fiohtino Fish.

or all the fish that fight, the cross Of
war with several palms goes to the
swordfish. 1t may belt probably is
that he is the best fighter because he
is the best armed and not because he
is more valiant and skillful in combat
than many others Of the fierce fish that
make battlefield of the sea.
One of the reasons given for ap-
parent increase in the number Of
sharks is mans destruction of the
swordfish, for the swordfish has no
more pity for shark than a robin
has for worm.
Killing shark seems to swordfish
but a gentle form of exercise. The
swordfish, in addition to being an
enemy of the shark, is also said to be
one Of the great enemies of the whale,
and this Is held against the swordfish
as one Of the reasons why he should be
destroyed and eaten.

WHERE DEATH LOSES TERROR
In Mongolia, Murder, Either Whole
sale or Retail, Seems to Be a
Matter of Course.

= Mongolia, as described by DR.. Ferdi.
nand Osendowski in Beasts, Men and
Gods" that veracious tale Of adven'
lures which fortunately would be Inn
possible anywhere else, Is land where
violent death has become so nearly the
common lot that 1t causes there
strangely little emotion Of any kind. II
really seems as If the people minded
being killed as little as they mind
killing. Murder, either of the whole.
sale or the retail kind, excites no par
ticular horror. Those who commit II
are so numerous that they are wholly
unashamed, and while they become
feared If their activities along this line
seem excessive even in Mongolia, they
are not particularly hated and their
lives are no more in danger than those
whose homicidal exploits are less nu-
merOuS.
All this would be Incredible If the
histories did not record similar condi-
lions existing at many times In many
other parts Of the world. The Romans
knew something like them in both the
western and the eastern empires, and a
state Of affairs not materially different
is recorded in the two great works of
our own Motley. The Spaniards and the
Dutch fought and slaughtered each
other with as little conjunction as do
the Russians, Chinese and natives to-
day in Mongolia, and in what now are
Holland and Belgium the hangman and
the man with the ak and the rack were
as busy as like functionaries were seen
to be In Urga by Doctor Osendowski.
Appreciably less Of torture is inflict-
ed in Mongolia than by both sides in
the Netherlands, but 1t is not missing
altogether. Offenders apparently are
never tried, even by the most summary
Of drumhead courts-martial. Whoever
has or assumes little authority, civil
or military, imposes an instant SEN
tence, and not infrequently executes 1t
on the spot with his own always ready
revolver.
The natives are not quite so sangui-
nary as the aliens, but the difference Is
slight, and were new Genghis Kahn
to arise among them he could recruit
almost exactly such horde Of savage
nomads as more than once invaded and
terrorized Europe from the same grim
land.

1,3O6 DELEGATES ARE PROVIDED FOR |NAPP0RT|QNMEN
No Delegates Allowed From Weak Republican Dis
 triCtS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-A Ten tative apportionment of delegates to the 1924 republican national com vention, conforming to the order Of the national committee issued in 1920 and designed to equalize republican voters representation, was made public tonight at committee head quarters. It provides for 1,036 dele gates and alternates, as compared to 9S4efour years ago, with a sharp re- duction ordered in some of the solid south" states and increases in most of the northern and western sections. Changes in apportionment were di- rected following years of criticism of large delegations from southern states normally democratic. No del- egates will be allowed under the new rule from congressional districts which do not maintain republican organization and do not cast at least 2500 republican votes.
 This strips many southern districts entirely of representation, reducing South Carolina's strength from | to 1, Mississippi's from 12 to 4, Louisi- ana's from l2 to 3 and Georgia's from r to 9. The Florida delega- tion, however, is increased from to 10, Tennessee's from 20 to PC and Virginia's from 15 to 16.
 Four delegates at large are al- lowed each state, and two. additional delegates at large are called for on each representative at large.
 Poll records from several southern states have been difficult to obtain, according to national committee leaders, and later information may slightly change the tentative appor- tionment.

AWAITS MARTIAL LAW

MUSEOGEE, Okla. Sept. 14.-Mus- kogee waited passively today for Governor Waltons martial law threat to be carried out. With the governors ultimatum-the resigna- ton of w.: R. Sampson, exalted cy- clops of the local Ilu KluX Klan, and his secretary. or military rule---eX- bring at 6 o'clock this evening, the city apparently had resigned itself to occupation by troops of the Okla homa national guard within few hours.
 Neither Sampson nor his secretary had anything further to add to their emphatic refusal last night to cons ply with Governor Walton's demands. There was no indication as to wheth- CT any move was being made to force klan officials to retire.
 City and county authorities like wise remained reticent.
