Use OF PADDOCK
THREATENED ON
RAIDED PLACES
Federal Officers M ay
Abate Dives Raided Sat-
urday In Valley.

Federal prohibition officers began
filing complaints today against the
81 alleged bootleggers jailed follow
ing raids of Friday night and Sat
urday morning AT 2 O'Clock this
afternoon the officers were unable
to locate United States Commission
er Dorsey Whitelaw TO arrange for
hearings. He is out of the valley
and could not be reached by tels-
phone.
Abatement proceedings are ex-
pected to be filed In several in
stances, attempting to close places
where liquor is alleged to have been
sold. "Padlocking' remains in eff
feet for one year and is separate
civil process to be handled by a
federal judge in San Diego.
Federal officers said today that
charges of sale, possession and NUS
ance will be filed in almost every
case. Fine, imprisonment or both
may result for those found guilty Of
the charges filed against them. The
nuisance is filed under the prohibit
ton act, it was explained.
All purchases in preliminaries to
the raids were made by federal Of
ficers, they declared, and no stool
pigeons or undercover spies were
used. The men have been working
in this section for several weeks,
they asserted today.
Three women arrested during the
raids were released on their own
recognizance this morning in order
that they may care for children in
their homes.
Filing of the complaints was
made necessary by the law forbid
ding prisoners being held for inves-
tigation longer than 48 hours.

their only wealth, namely silver.
(b) Revolutions upSetting trade.
These things can be put right by:
(a) Abolishing the boycott OF sill
yer by recreating the demand for
it, and by the making again Of silver
coins of adequate silver content, in
stead of containing alloy as at pres
ent.
English silver coins have been de-
based from 900 fine to 500 fine,
Dutch coins from 900 fine to 700
fine, and German coins from 900
fine to 500 fine.
(b) BY assisting in putting down
revolutions instead of sympathizlng
with or helping these disturbing
elements.
Would Improve Quality
By this means the demand Tor
goods like cotton will increase en-
ormously, whilst for next season the
cotton crop could be improved in
quality and diminished in quantity
bv the timely reduction of the
number of buds on each plant. The
less the number of buds the strong
err and healthier will be the remain
der.
Nobody has the right to destroy
what others need.
Increased buying power means
more for peace than anything else,
it means progress; whilst the de-
struction of products means set
back to civilization and ultimately
leads to discomfort and revolution.
If the purchasing power Of mo-
ney in China increases they will be
able to buy more cotton goods, and
as a result Lancashire will be IN a
position to employ more men TO
spin. and the demand for Liverpool
and American cotton must increase.
The spinners will in their turn
have more money to spend.
Therefore, the increased buying
power of five hundred million Chi
nese increases the purchasing power
of tens of millions more people over
and above the five hundred million
afore mentioned.
It is the only way to get out OF
the present impasse as a result OF
which thousands of cotton cultiva-
tors and millions of cotton weavers
are put out of employment.
Savings banks and other similar
institutions have been experiencing
a decline in deposits as an outcome
of the present situation, ultimately
leading to less credit.

ALEXANDRIA LINE
RELAXING TRACKS
Work South of Highway
Bridge Begun Despite
Litigation.

Work was started yesteday by the
Mount Vernon, Alexandria g. Washing
ton Railway on relocation and rebuild
ing Of its trackage in District property
south of the Highway Bridge.
The work was ordered by the Public
Utilities Commission recently, as the
Highway Department is widening and
repaving the roadway from the end
of the bridge to point adjacent to
a spur track of the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg e. Potomac Railroad. This
territory, although south of the Poto-
mac, is part of the District. which
extends to the high water mark on the
Virginia shore.
Some surprise was expressed by Dis
trict Building officials at the fact that
the railroad would spend its money in
relaying the trackage, since its con-
tinued existence is made doubtful by
litigation now in progress which may
result in the removal of the lines ter
minal at Twelfth and d streets.
The District Is widening the roadway
mentioned from 20 to 40 feet and max
ing several changes in grade in con-
nection with the work that the Bureau
of Public Roads is doing in developing
an entrance to the new George Wash
ington Boulevard at that point.
The Districts work will start Sep
TENDER 81. There is an appropriation
of $4,000 for the widening and re-
paving. No estimate was available at
the District Building of the probable
cost to the railroad OF relocating and
relaying its tracks.

STATES FORMULATE
OIL OUTPUT PLAN
Cooperation of Lamont by
Limiting Imports Sharp
Iy Is Sought.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY. September a.
Possessed of a definite plan designed to
aid the oil industry. representatives of
Western oil States set forth hopefully
today seeking concurrences of Secretary
of Commerce Lamont and of Texas off,
Gals.
One committee was appointed at a
conference here yesterday to carry word
of conclusions reached to Secretary La
mont and ask his cooperation In lin
iting imports of crude petroleum.
Another is to solicit aid of Texas au-
| thorities in curtailing to less than
| l.0OO, 900 barrels daily the flow Of oil
from that States gigantic subterranean
reservoirs.
Plan Specifies Output.
The plan, evolved after an all-day
session at the Oklahoma Capitol, Speci-
fics that total daily production from
United States pools be curtailed through
the remainder of 1881 and 1882 to ap-
proximatcly 1881 900 barrels, or about
200 900 barrels under daily market de-
mand. Minor changes would be made
in 1888 and 1884 to allow for changing
conditions.
Import would be cut sharply to force
withdrawal of about 100000 barrels daily
from present storage in the United
States in hopes the balancing OF supply
and demand would stabilize the market.
Daily production by barrels in the
United States would be distributed for
the remainder of 1881 as follows:
Texas, 100000: Oklahoma, $4,000;
California, 100000 Kansas, 10000;
Arkansas and Louisiana, 10000: East
ern pools, 100000; Rocky Mountain re-
gion, $4,000, and New Mexico, $4,000.
Operation Predicted.
Thurman Hill, member CT the Kansas
Public Service Commission, who called
the meeting, predicted the plan would
be placed in operation by october II
ratified by Texas and officials OF the
various other States.
Members of the oil States Advisory
Committee and representatives of the
Standard Oil Companies of Indiana and
New Jersey, and of the Gulf Shell COM
panies conferred with the delegates.
While this action was being taken at
the Capitol here attorneys for the
Champlin Refining Co. of Enid. Okla,
filed charges aimed at Gov w. H. Dol
lar Bill Murray's martial law enforced
closing of Oklahoma flush oil pools. 1t
alleges the Governors action is uncon-
stituIional.

India Wolf Children Caught
By Missionary in Den.

Another note on midas wolf chill
dren" appears in a communication to
the American Journal of Psychology
from DR.. w. N. Kellogg Of the Uni
versity of Indiana.
It is in the form of a letter from
Rev. John A. Howard, a missionary at
Midnapore, who quotes the man who
claims to have captured them as fol-
lows:
Eight years ago, on a tour Of my
villages. one evening one of my people
said: There are ghosts in those woods.
We are much afraid So I watched the
next night. Just before shutdown three
old wolves came out of a hole, then
two cubs, and at last queer human
like animal Nobody would go near the
den, so 1 got men from seven miles
distant, who knew not of the ghosts.
They dug out the den. Two wolves
ran out The third was killed with an
arrow. She, being the mother, refused
to run away.
Down in the bottom Of the den,
huddled with two furry cubs, were two
queer little girls devoid of clothing.
Whether they were illegitimate and
thrown away or torn from the mothers
door by the wolves we did not know.
For the first four or five months they
ran about on their hands and knees.
After being compelled, they could stand
but not run. The younger never
learned to talk but could only grunt
and growl. The older lived to be a
little over 6. She developed a Vocabu-
larry of about 100 words. They never
asked questions. Their jaws were large
and square. presumably from gnawing
homes Both have been dead for some
time" T. r. H.

ment yesterday denying that Senator
