JAPANESE SILK BILL.
Shortly to Be Passed by Govern
ment-Its Object.
"The pleasant business of exporting
Japanese silk may be denied to foreign-
ers in future. " says : Oharles Edward
Russell in "Soldiers of the Common
Good. " in Everybody's.
"Silk is one of the greatest interests
.
of Japan. , Control of the silk industry
Is vested in the Silk Guild. Control . of
the Silk Guild is vested in the govern
ment. Much silk spinning and weav-
ing.is done in Japanese households. But
no one may sell raw silk until it has
! Jeen offered to the Silk Guild. That is
law.
"Many foreign houses are engaged in
exporting Japanese silk. In years gone
by their profits have been exceedingly
fair to look upon. Japan is pleasant
for residence. The houses did well and
their representatives were happy. But
the Japanese government desires to
or '
r " , " have this agreeable business for the
' ' Japanese. So it drew a bill providing
\ . ' \ for government inspection ( at the ex-
porter's cost ) of all silk intended for
export. The exact operations of this
bill are too intricate to explain here ,
-but in a general way it would reveal to
I the government inspectors the secret of
/ the foreign exporters' business. Some
features of the bill seemed to bear
harshly upon the small producers. An
adverse agitation was begun and so
managed that it secured the bill's de
feat in the House. But no well-in-
formed person seems to doubt that In
: some form it will come up again and )
1Will pass. " -

A Surprise in Brooklyn.
An adult's food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing
and easily ; digested and good for big
.and little folks. A Brooklyn man
-says :
I
N "Wnen , baby was about eleven
: months old he began to grow thin and
; pale. This was , at first , attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
"were coming , but , in reality , the poor
t little thing was starving , his : mother's
: inilk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
; for an hour , I suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
-.two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
: .little sugar and warm milk. This
baby ate so ravenously that she fixed
; a second which he likewise finished.
"It was not many days before he
' : forgot all about being nursed , and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. To-day the boy is strong
--and robust , and as cute a mischief-
maker as a thirteen months old baby
-is expected to be.
"We have put before him other
: tfoods but he will have none of them ,
-evidently preferring to stick to that
rwhich : did him so much good - his old
Iriend : : , Grape-Nuts.
"Use this letter any way you wish ,
-.for- my wife and I can never praise
-Grape-Nuts enough after the -
bright-
ness : it has brought to our house
hold. "
Grape-Nuts is ndt made for ' a baby
food , but experience with thousands of
, ' . tables shows it to be among the best ,
f
if not entirely the best in use. Being
- & scientific preparation of Nature's
grains , it is equally effective as a body
-and brain builder for
- grown-ups.

COL COOPER R IS FREE , ;
NASHVILLE IN FRENZY
Carmack's Convicted Slayer Par
doned by Governor Patterson
-Retrial for Son.
THREATS FOLLOW HIS RELEASE
Action of Tennessee Executive After
Adverse Court Ruling Opens
Political War. .
Colonel Duncan B. Cooper , sentenced
last year , with his son , Robin J. Coop-
er , to twenty years in the State peni-
tentiary upon conviction of the killing
of former United States Senator Ed-
ward W. Carmack In Nashville , Tenn. ,
Nov. 9 , 1908 , was granted a full pardon
by Governor Patterson a few minutes
after the Supreme Court had affirmed
his sentence. The court ordered a new
trial for Robin J. Cooper. Colonel
Cooper was released soon after his par-
don was signed. His son is at liberty
under $25,000 bonds , and his friends
freely predict that he will not again be
arraigned for trial.
Governor Patterson's action has '
aroused Nashville and Tennessee as
nothing ever did before. There is the
most intense excitement throughout
the city. : The street corners , hotel lob-
bies and other places where crowds
congregate have been the scenes of the
most violent discussions. Rumors of
the Governor resigning , of an attempt-
ed assassination and of a plot to lynch
Colonel Cooper have filled the air since
the pardon was issued.
Governor Patterson , in the pardon
which he wrote for Colonel Cooper ,
said : "In my opinion , neither of the
defendants is guilty , and they have not
had a fair and impartial trial , but were
convicted contrary to the law and the
evidence. The action of the Supreme
Court in vacating the judgment as to
Robin Cooper , leaves the sentence of
final conviction as to his co-defendant.
The proof showed that Robin Cooper
killed deceased and that D. B : Cooyer
did not fire a shot. Without reflection
upon the court , it is inconceivable to
to prin
my mind and repugnant every pr
ciple of justice that a man should be
found guilty of murder who was not
in a conspiracy to kill and who , in fact ,
did not kill. " \
The Supreme" Court's reversal in the
case was based on the assignment of
error In the trial judge's failing to
charge the jury as to Robin Cooper's
theory of self-defense , linking the de
fense of the two defendants together ?
excluding testimony of Governor Pat-
terson as to talks with Robin Cooper
and other points.
HUGHES ASKS AN INQUIRY.
Wants Legislative Practices and
Procedure Investigated.
With the ringing declaration that
the recent disclosures of legislative
dishonor and graft have caused "every
honest citizen to tingle with shame , "
Governor Hughes of New York , in a
special message to the Legislature of
that State , called upon that body TO
make "immediate , impartial , thorough
and unsparing investigation of legisla-
tive practices and procedure. "
Accompanying the .message was .a
preliminary report of Superintendent
Hotchkiss outlining the facts develop-
ed at the fire insurance investigation
in New York and setting forth the dif-
culties' encountered in following up
the various leads which have been un
covered. The superintendent says that
obstacles apparently insuperable have
developed in the course of the inquiry.
These in his judgment warrant further
investigation , but he has no power to
pursue them and therefore has laid
the facts thus far developed before the
Governor for action.
NO FLAGMAN ; THIRTEEN HURT.
Switch Engine Plows Into Car at
Street Crossing In Chicago.
Thirteen persons were injured in a
crash between a switch engine of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and a
Chicago street car , for which the ab
sence of the crossing flagman from his
post , with the gates raised , Is blamed
by the victims. Plowed through by
the locomotive , the car crumpled down
upon the crowd of passengers and six
were injured so severely that the re-
sult of their hurts Is in doubt. After
the car was struck the front half , a
pile of debris , was across the track
from : the other part , which also had
been reduced almost to kindling wood.
The passengers were hurled in all d- !
! ections.
Vast Timber Steals Charged.
The legislative investigation com-
mittee's report made to Governor Hay
of Washington declares that for years
purchasers of State timber lands have
systematically plundered the State
through the laxity , incompetency or
dishonesty of employes of the State
land department. Nearly 200 cases ,
the report says , have been found thus
far In which the State inspector made
erroneous . reports.
Battleship Plans Burned.
A two-story drafting building of * the
New York. Shipbuilding Company was
destroyed by fire in Camden , N. J. The
engine and sanitary plans for the . bat-
tleships Utah and Arkansas , on draw-
ing boards , were burned. The total
loss was 100000.

ORDERS CUT IN PULLMAN : , RATES I
II I
II I I
Interstate Board's Washington Rule
Affects Trips West from Chicago.
Reductions in Pullman car rates , es
pecially in the Northwest from Chica-
go to the Pacific , are ordered in a de
cision of the interstate commerce com-
mission , given out the other day. Rates
are reduced in every case where spe-
cific complaints were made. The com-
mission establishes the principle that
the upper berths are not worth so
much to the public as lower berths. In
the cases decided upper berth rates are
placed at three-fourths of the lower
berth rates , in some cases slightly less.
By way of St. Paul the present rate of
$14 for either berth from Chicago to
Seattle will be reduced to $ U for a
lower berth and $10 for an upper berth.
Officials of the commission expect this
rate to be adopted by roads running
from Chicago to Los Angeles , San
Francisco , Pqrtland and other West
ern points. The commission decided
upon four rates , those from i St. Paul
to Chicago , Superior , Fargo aad Seat
tle. The run from Chicago to St. Paul
is 400 miles , and for this distance the
commission recognizes a $2 rate for a
lower berth. For upper berths , hoTf-
ever , the price is reduced to $1.50. For
short runs , such as that from St. Paul
to Fargo , N. D. , the $2 rat for a lower
berth is reduced to $ l.iO , and the ? 2
rate for an upper berth is reduced to
$1.10. The through rate fron St. Paul
to Seattle , now $12 , is reduced to $10
for a lower berth and $8.50 for an up-
per berth. -
THOMAS F . WALSH'S LIFE ENDS.
Multimillionaire Mining Man Dies
at Washington.
Thomas F. Walsh , the Colorado mul-
ti-millionaire mine owner , died at his
home in Washington the other night.
He had been ill more than six months ,
heart disease following an attack of
pneumonia. Mrs. Walsh , her daughter ,
Mrs. Edward McLean , and Edward Mc :
Lean were at his bedside when the
end came.
Mr. Walsh in February was taken
to San Antonio , Tex. When he showed
ho improvement there he was brought
to Washington on a fast special train.
He declared he wished to see his in-
fant grandchild , known as the "mil-
lion dollar baby , " before he died. Be- I
fore he arived there , Jiowever , he hail '
a large sun room built on the roof of
his house similar to the "Solarium" ]
which Edward H. Harriman had
erected on his New York residence
shortly before he died. Since his re
turn to Washington Mr. Walsh had l
lived most of the time in this room.
His wealth has been variously esti-
mated at from $10,000,000 to $40-
000,000.
It was in 1907 that the great trag-
edy of his life befell Mr. Walsh. His I
only son , Vincent Walsh , was killed
in an automobile accident at Newport ,
and his only daughter , Evelyn Walsh ,
was so terribly injured that it was
feared she was crippled permanently.

SAFE BLOWERS DEFY A CITY.
Four vritli RiUcs Hold Crovrd at
Bay and Fire Two Blasts.
Four desperadoes armed with rifles
held off a crowd of thirty aroused
guests of a neighboring hotel in Lane , , I
S. D. , at 2:30 o'clock while they ap I
plied the match to the fuse of their
final two powerful blasts against the
obstinate vault door of the Citizens'
State bank. The first explosion had
brought out several persons , in night
attire , but when they faced the dark
muzzles of the rifles in the dim dawn
they scurried back into the Mitchell
Hotel and alarmed the rest of the
sleepers and most of the town by
phone. The robbers continued grimly
at their work , with leveled rifles , for
about an hour , but the proprietor of
the hardware store could not be
aroused to provide arms and ammuni-
tion for the people. Having fired two
more blasts in vain , the desperadoes
vanished back through the alley into
another part of the town , where they
stole the rig of a Methodist preacher
and drove southward toward Virgil ,
eight miles away , where all trace Q ! ,
them has been lost.

VOTES TWO BATTLE SHIPS.
House , by 162 to 110 , Orders War
Craft to Cost 6OOOOOO , Each.
The naval appropriation bill carry
ing $128,037,602 and providing for two
battleships was passed by the National
House of Representatives the other
day by the decisive vote of 162 to 11.0.
The ships are to cost $6,000,000 each.
Thirty-three Democrats voted for the
two battleships and twenty-four Re-
publicans against the proposition. In
addition to the battleships the bill also
provides for the construction of two
fleet colliers and four submarine
boats. As amended on motion of Mr.
Fitzgerald * of New York , the two bat-
tleships and two fleet colliers must be
constructed by firms operating under
the eight-hour law.
The committee on naval affairs had
reported in favor of authorizing two
battleships. Mr. Tawney of Minne
sota , chairman of the appropriations
committee , offered an amendment pro-
viding for only one battleship , while
Mr. : Hpbson proposed an amendment
providing for s t hree. Mr. : : Hobson con-
tended that three bakleshjps would
give no increase , but would provide
only for the ordinary deprecation in
the naval force. By an almost unani-
mous vote the House rejected this
proposition.

WASTE BY FIRE.- ' . - -
City Per Capita Loss Exceeds That
. of Rural Districts.
The report of the United States Geo-
logical Survey on the waste of struc-
tural materials by fire gives interest
ing figures concerning the fire waste in .
this country. In connection with this
investigation the Survey took up the
question of fire losses and the expenses .
connected with fires , such as fire de
partments , waterworks , etc. Details
are given which are accepted as ac
curate. Elaborate statistics were se
cured by sending blanks to the chiefs
of fire departments in more than.
5,000 incorporated towns and cities and '
to the postmasters in rural districts '
with no large cities , to determine the
comparisons between urban and strict- - .
ly rural risks.
The per capita fire loss reported
from the cities was $2.5-1 and from the
country districts 249. The absence of
the conflagration hazard in the country
and of the exposure fires which form
so large a proportion of the losses in
the towns and cities is cffset by the
efficiency of the fire departments : in the' . .
cities , the proportion ' of the total
losses being very much larger in the
country. It is estimated in the report
that about 55 per cent of the total .
property is insured , a much smaller
proportion than is usually supposed.
Excessive fire waste in the United . . .
States is attributed to the predomi
two-
nance of frame buildings , over
thirds of the losses being in such risks.
The report has grouped eleven
States which are practically treeless
and compared them with the eleven
States in which there is still an abun-
dance of timber , showing a per capita
loss of $2.89 in the former States and
$2.30 in the latter.
States have been grouped geograph-
ically to analyze the fire loss , show-
ing a per capita of $2.19 in the South
Atlantic States , $2.37 in the North Cen f
tral , $2.50 in the North Atlantic $2.65
in the Western and $3.66 in the South
Central. The excess in the latter dis-
trict is attributed to an unusually
Idrse number of frame buildings , care
less construction and inferior fire pro
tection.
WARRING ON A PEST.
N'ationnl Assault on tlie Dangeroum
IIouse Fly.
The house fly must go. Years ago
science discovered that this filthy in-
sect was a dangerous disseminator of
disease and the public has rapidly
learned to protect the home , especially
the kitchen and dining room , from its
encroachments. But war is now de-
clared upon the fly's very , existence.
' .
The American Civic Association has'
taken the matter up , with headquar-
ters in Washington , and the Depart
ment of Agriculture is planning a
2ountry-wide : : crusade aided by an army
of laborers and no end of drugs and
chemicals.
The campaign will be started in the
country districts , where the flies in the
past have been permitted to multiply
without molestation. A special farm-
§ rs' bulletin ? being prepared by the
bureau which will give valuable fly-
killing recipes and tell of the various
diseases spread by the fly.
One feature of the campaign will be
moving pictures , which will be used
by lecturers all over the country to
show the enormous mischief the fly
is capable of.
