The illness of Pope Plus X, which has proved not to be as serious as wag first reported, Invites attention to the remarkably smalt membership of the College of Cardinals, the body which selects 'the occupant of the chair of Peter. The college now consists of only 50 members. Death has been claim ing them faster than the Pope has created them. Only fourteen of the present members of the college have been named by Pope Pius. All the other cardinals helped to elect him, and one, Cardinal Oreglia di Santo Stefano, participated in the proceed ings that eventuanted in the election of Pope Leo XIII. Cardinal Gibbons is now fourth in seniority in the sacred college and while all Americans Irrespective of religious belief would like to see the venerable Baltimore prelate elected as the first American Pone It is Im probable that the honor will come to him. Cardinal Rampolla, who would have been the present Bishop of Rome but for the intervention of Austria, which exercised a right of veto she had enjoyed for many years, now looms as a formidable candidate. Pope Pius has withdrawn from Austria her an cient veto right, and has thus remov ed a serioua obstacle in the way of Cardinal Rampolla. But this does not necessarily insure his choice. The successor of Pope Pius, when finally chosen, mar be some cardinal as lit tle known to the world at large as j wag Cardinal Sarto when selected as the successor to Pope Leo XIII. The Wider Distribution of Wealth. Through a series of questions ad- the number of stockholders in their lists the Wall Street Journal has been informed by 154 of these corporations that the gain In stockholders is about 175 per cent since 1901 and 75 per cent since 1906. In the International Harvester Co. the number of stockholders has in creased 1,267 per cent iu tne past five years. The gain in the Western Union has been in the some period 32.8. The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. shows a gain in cent since 1901. In 1906 the Ana conda Copper Co. had only 900 stock holders. The number has ncreased to 11,460 in 1911. The share holders of 109 companies numbered 161,493 in have increased to 599,510. These figures prove wider distribu tion of wealth than heretofore and explain why prices no longer fluct uate through the big range they once did. They are also evidence of in creased sense of responsibility in the management of the great corpora tions. HOUSE OF COMMONS SALARIES. After an agitation extending over a period of years the British House of Commons has decided to pay its mem bers an annual salary of $2,000 a year. The action of the House is in ful fillment of an ante-election pledge made by the liberal leaders to its labor supporters. Tbe labor unions had for years assessed themselves for funds wherewith to pay salaries to their representatives in the lower House of Parliament. The courts have recently held that this procedure Is Illegal under existing laws and the government comes to their relief by the adoption of the salary payment act. The Nationalist members of Parlia ment will also welcome the salary plan. Most of them are compara tively poor and have been compelled to rely upon subscriptions raised among Irishmen in all parts of the world, the I'nited States being of course, the chief contributor. Tbe sum to be paid is not large when compared to the salary receiv ed by our membeis of Congress, !7.5"0. The P rime Objects show for the labor of years; to have a home and prosperty. Then the inevitable emergency, or declining years can be approached without flinching;trouble can be looked in the eye. The world owes us all a living and more, too. The "more" represents what w: put aside in a good bank where it may grow in safety. Put your surplus in this bank.

Experiments In the army manoeuv res In Texas have demonstrated that wireless telegraphy has enormously Increased the value of the cavalry arm of the service. The signal corps had devised an extremely light and portable wireless apparatus easily carried on the back of a horse and capable of being put into operation from any point In the field within a few minutes. Message could be reliably received when the cavalry detachment was anywhere within twei ty-five miles of a receiv ing station, a fact which added great ly to the value of the cavalry In Its scouting capacity. A lignt, collaps ible steel mast not much larger than a fishing rod, served to supportt the antennae essential to establish com munication. On land or sea, in peace or in war, wireless telegraphy is destined to prove one of tbe greatest of hu man agencies. All honor to the teamster (C.

STIRRING SCENES MARK DEBATE Cannon Denounces Work of Majority And Speaker Clark Pleads Eloquently For Measures. WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. In a suc cession of dramatic events, the IVmo cratlc House of Representatives met defeat today In Its supreme effort to pass the wool and free list bills over the President's veto and virtually fixed upon adjournment of Congivss early next week. The House will agree on Monday to the cotton tariff revision bill, us amended in the Senate, but will not hold Congress In session to await the certain veto of that measure. The Senate cleared away all Its husiness and adjournment is assured. In the view of leaders of both parties In b-nh Houses, by next Wednesday at the latest. Haw-ley cf Oregon, and Humphrey of Washington, voted to sustain the President on both measures. Lnfferty of Oregon, and French of Idaho, voted to sustain the President on the wool bill, but voted with the Democrats to pass the free list bill over his veto. Washington and La Follette of Wash ington voted to override the veto of both measures. . Failure of the attempt of the Demo cratic House to override the vetoes came in a day filled with stirring In cidents. At the close of the debate on the motion of Mr. I'nderwood to pass the wool bill over the veto. Speaker Clark, an aspirant for the Presidency, pleaded the cause of his fellow Demo crats from the floor, surrounded by a string of his colleagues, who cheered him vigorously. The galleries were filled to overflowing and when the CnraVor onnrlnrlprl thpre was a demon stration that for several minutes de- laved the roll-call. On the motion to pass the wool measure over the veto, there were 227 affirmative votes. 22 of them in surgent Republicans and one indepen dent Republican, while the negative votes w-ere 129. The motion to over ride the v9to on the free list failed of a two-thirds majority also, the vote being 226 to 127. Representative Dalzell, of Pennsyl vania. Republican Leader Mann and ex-Speaker Cannon denounced the bill. Cannon said the Democrats had come Into power In the House by dem agoguery. but he expected to see them turned out In 1912. T believe." he continued, "that your efforts to revise the tariff have cost the people more money than would have been saved In a decade. Speaker Clark was cheered from both sides of the House when ne left the chair and took the floor to end the discussion. The climax of his address was reached when he said: "The President has a right to veto the bill if he wishes. I am not qonr. reling with him. I am lamenting his lack of wisdom, as his personal friend. He has raised an issue that will rage with unabated fury until the close of the polls 10 November, 1912."

HOUS SUSTAINS TRAIN DISPATi SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17. tSpec lal). The work of train dispatching, one of the most exacting In the whole field of railroad mnimgetmnt, is to be made much easier for tho dispatch ers of the Southern Pacific Company. On several entire divisions and on parts of other divisions the work has already been lightened to a great ox tent. The strain that the dispatch ers usually work under Is being and will be alleviated by the use of the telephone for train dispatching. The old method of usbu the tele graph key for nil dlspatriilng has beeu found too slow. Where it form erly required a considerable time to transmit train orders by Ulegraph, a comparatively short time is now re quired. By a system of .vpeatlng all messages and writing thorn down as they are sent and dellver d, the op erator and dispatcher are able to keep even a more complete reoi rd of all that transpires than If mlng the tele graph. Virtually the only difference between the two systems I. that the telephone urges direct conversation and the telegraph only written words transmitted by the comparatively slow Morse alphabet. With the tele phone the dispatcher get In closer personal touch with every man on the road through the use of that In strument than he ever was able to do with the telegraph. At the present time telephone dis patching is in operation between Sa linas and Santa Barbara on the Coast Division of the Southern Pacific lines; over the entire Shasta division; on the Sunset, the Sunset and West ern and the McKittrlck branches, and will soon be Installed between Sac ramento and Sparks. Exchanges are being established and any operator on the line need only take down his re ceiver and pronounce the name of his station to obtain tbe Immediate at tention of the dispatcher. The dis patcher nas full control over-the line and no operator is allow, 1 to call up another station. The dispatcher will do the calling for him If business re quires It. It Is only a question of time until the telegraph will serve onlv as an emergency service on the Southern Pacific lines. Another ad- vantage of the telephone system Is the simplicity. It being possible for any member of a train crew to tap a telephone line and tell of a train wreck, while it requires nn expert to tap a telegraph line. GREEN FLAG SIGNALS ABOLISHED BY S. P. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 17. (Spec ial). The green flags, one at each side of the rear end of the last pas senger coach on a train, have served their use on the Southern Pacific and other Harrlman roads, and will no longer be seen on any passenger trains on these lines. The first of August saw the last of the green flags and all of the Southern Pacific pas senger trains are now rnnlng with lamp markers in place of the flags. Green flags have been used for many years on the rear cf trains to designate to trains In the opposite direction and to the engineer of the train displaying tbe flu markers, that the train was Intact. This was necessary in the dayg when all of the cars in trains were not equipped with automatic airbrakes. Sometimes, when the link and pin cout lings were in use, a pin would break and a car would be left behind. There was no way for the engineer to tell whether or not he had all of his carj wilh him unless he could look out of his cab and see the green flag waving from the last coat-h. All of the ci.rs of the Southern Pacific Company are now equipped with the au'omatio air bfakeu, which, if a ear should become detached, slops the train automatic ally. The lamps that are beili used as markers in place of the irn-en flags suffice during the day as 'veil as at night. During the passage of a train through a tunnel, snowshe.N, or dur ing foggy weather, they ran be easily lighted, but for the major portion of the day time trips they remain mi lighted. They can be d;M iugiiislied by the engineer wilh ease and have already been found a gre.'.t improve ment over the old flag system. Some few roads In the East hate discon tinued the use of green flags as mark ers on some of their suburban lines, but the Southern Pacific Company Is the first road to do so over lis entire system.

CONSTITUTIONS MUST BE AMENDED Admission To Union of New Mexico And Arizona To Be Lett With Voters of Those Territories. WASHINGTON. Aug lii.-Stiite-hood for Arizona and New Mexico now awaits only the perfunctory ap proval of President Taft. Tho Flood Smith resolution admitting these ter ritories Into the Union with the Judic iary recall feature of the Arizona con stitution eliminated to meet (he objec tion which caused President Taft to veto the original statehood bill was adopted by the llotise today without the formality of a roll call. Having been passed by the Senate In Identical language, the resolution will go to the White House as soon us the Vice-President and Speaker for mally attach their signatures. No attempt was made in the House to pass over tho President's veto tho original bill which contained the Judi cial recall provision. The Joint resolution provides for Arizona's admission with the consti tution adopted by the convention of July 20, 1910, and luter ratified by the Arizona voters, upon the '"fundamen tal condition"" that article 8 of the constitution relating to the recall of public off cers shall bo held and con strued not to apply to judicial offic ers and thnt tho Arizona people shall give their assent to thnt construction. The President is required within 30 days after approval of the measure to certify the fact to tbe Governor of Arizona, who within 30 days thereaf ter must proclaim an election, to be held between CO and 90 days after the proclamation, to vote upon article 8 and to vote for state and other of ficers. If a majority of the voters rntlry the exception of Judicial officials from the recall, such a construction will be come part of the Arizona constitution. The President will then Issue a proc lamation and upon Its Issuance Ari zona will become a state. The resolution admits New Mexico Into the I'nlon with provisions making its constitution easier of amendment. The repolutlon was passed after a spirited two hours debate. Represen tative Flood, of Virginia, chairman of the territories committee, declared that the Democrats favored passing the original bill over the President" veto, hut knowing that such an at tempt would he useles, they had de cided to teke the step, that would In sure Immediate admission of the ter ritories to tbe I'nlon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IS. (Spec ,(,! a dog tell green from red when displayed on a switch alongside the track of a railroad, and can it learn the significance and Importance of the green and red signals as ap plied to railroading? H. W. Sheridan, superintendent of the Sacramento di vision of the Southern iMclMe Com pany, says that It can, and Sheridan has u mass of evidence t- prove his assert Ion. Sheridan obtained his jvldence re cently while conducting an efficiency test about 10" miles nor"li of Sacra mento, Cal. With several assistants he (hanged the light on one of the switches from green to red, then wait ed to see If the crew of the next train lisorve tho urone light and ston tbe train before It leached the) switch. Tbe dog began to ortrk as soon the red Mght was sliow.i i:i place of the green It ran 'iroinnl ihe signal for several minulei ml then to the quarter i' the s-"-llon foreman, a half rnib- away. shortly fitter the foreman appeared with n ! intern 'ind a shotgun, bd by the iog. and Sheri dan and his assistants h'ul a difficult in exnlalnliiK the red light to the satisfaction of both the Its master. These efficiency tests are i.d throughout the vear for dog and conduct the pur- pose of keeping train and englnman on the alert. After a crew has run over the same line day after day without mishap, they, In common with other mortals, are likely to become careless and fall to observe a danger signal at a critical moment. Sucn an oversight is fraught with danger that makes one, shudder to think of It a hundred lives might be snuffed out In the twinkle of an eye should a tram or eiiglnman fall to observe a rignil. To guard against such a contingency the Southern Pacific Company Iits L'l efficiency tests, ranging from the changing of the color of signal light a. and extinguishing lights entirely to placing fuses and torpedr.c-i m the track. Failure to observe any of these signals means most svete dis cipline for the offender. I-ast year he Southern Pacific made 7.02'; of these tests and only In 41 c-isei dM the crew fall to observe th- signal, giving a percentage of Wt perfect. The dog ' that caused Sheridan's temporary discomfiture, knows ihe significance of every light, according to the section foreman owning It, &nd walks a certain stretch of tnek every day with Its master.
