There probably has been no period in the city's growth during which New Yorkers whose parents were born in New York formed the majority of the population; and there never has been a time when the bulk of the citizens were of English blood." MERE MAN IS ARRAIGNED ut Copie GREETS HAYWOOD Savants Cannot Satisfactor ily Explain It. Almost Swept From Feet by Eager Admirers at Salt Lake Depot. OF NATURE'S BALMY RESTORER 1 i s Today I ' m NO QUARREL WITH MOYER Miners' Leader Says Moyer Re mained at Boise to Be Xear Pet tlbone Richardson Openly Assails Darrow. SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 2. Carrying his Invalid wife In his arms, William T. Haywood, secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, stepped from an Oregon Short Line train at 8:60 this evening: into a crowd which had leath ered to meet him. In its eagerness to see him the mob almost overwhelmed the little party of travelers. Mrs. Carruthers, Mr. Haywood's mother, was swept away from the waiting car riages. She was rescued by her tal wart son and the latter, after shaking a few hundreds of outstretched hands, thanked everybody and started with his family for the home of his sister, Mrs. James Kllleen. Murphy Almost Dyfng. With Mr. Haywood came his wife, mother, two daughters and other rel atives who met him in Ogden. John H. Murphy, attorney for the Western Federation of Miners, who is now dying from tuberculosis, and Dr. W. L. Blscrow, Mr. Murphy's physician. On his arrival .here the patient was so ill that he wa taken to the Holy Cross Hospital, as fear is expressed that tie will not live to reach Denver, although Dr. Biscrow s 1 1,11 speaks hope fully. At Ogden the news of Mr. Haywood's arrival spread through the railroad yards and many men from the shops and switches in greasy blue jumpers took advantage of the short stop to touch the hand of tne labor leader, and to cheer him as the train rolled out of the depot. No Quarrel With Moyer. "The story that L have had a quar rel with Moyer doubtless originated where other similar stories, equally false, have stearted before," said Mr. Haywood, during the run from Ogden to Salt Lake. "There is absolutely no truth in them. Mr. Moyer delayed his departure from Boise chiefly because he wanted to stay near Pettibone as long as possible. As to the changes that may be made in counsel at the next trial, I do not know. There will probably be a change. Some slight difficulty has arisen between Messrs. Richardson and Darrow. Both are big men and such differences are almost sure to arise when two big men are trying the same case." Mr. Haywood said that he would leave with his family for Denver at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening on the Rio Grande Railroad. He expects to be at his desk at Federation headquarters on Monday. MOYER LEAVES BOISE TODAY Dissension With Haywood Denied. Richardson Scores Darrow. BOISE. Idaho.. Aug. 2. C. H. Moyer will take tomorrow's train for home. He states that he will go straight through to Denver. The fact that Haywood and Moyer did not leave together has renewed rumors widely circulated sometime ago of serious differences existing between the two chief officers of the Federation. Both men de nied these stories today and declared they were circulated for the same purpose of creating dissension and trying to divide the ranks of the miners' organization. It is known, however, that Moyer has not wholly approved of the plan for a celebra tion in Denver on Sunday and will have no part in It. He believes It would be far better to wait at least until George A. Pettibone, who must remain here in jail, has had his trial. "It is one of the saddest things I have ever had to do," said Moyer today, "to go away and leave Pettibone In jail. I did not wish to go at all but I shall return to Boise In two weeks to look after Petti bone's interests. I do not known when I will take up my duties at the Denver headquarters, not for some time. My health Is none too good." Although Moyer has been released on bail, he takes the position that it would be ungraceful for him to participate In a celebration, the keynote of which is the innocence of another who once stood charged with the same offense that he (Moyer) is yet to be tried for. Acting Secretary Klrwan, at Denver, is authority for the above statement. Of the ten attorneys employed in the Haywood trial. B. F. Richardson and John F. Nugent have been dropped from the defense in the remaining trials and Mr. Darrow will have full charge. Mr. Richardson makes no secret of his dif ferences with Mr. Darrow. saying: "The whole sum and substance of the matter is that I cannot endure Darrow's methods. I do not sanction Socialism, at least not when it is coupled with the try ing of a legal suit, especially when that case is a murder case and means a man's life. Darrow's closing speech in the Hay wood trial was rank. It was enough to hang any man regardless of his Innocence or guilt." NEW YORK'S AMERICANISM And Yet Diversity of Blood Its Dom inant Characteristic. Brander Matthews In the Century. There are those among us who are not satisfied with this setting up of barriers against the unfit, and who see it menace to American standards in the admission even of the physically fit, if they come from alien stocks. There are those and they are not a few who would keep out the "men from the Volga and the Tartar steppes" and all "bringing with them unknown gods and rites." Willing enough still to welcome Teuton and even Celt, they see peril to our citizenship in granting it to Slav and to Scythian, with "tiger passions, here to stretch their claws." They look askant at ?few York, with its immense masses of imperfectly as similated foreigners, with its Little Italy, with its mysterious Chinatown, with Its Syrian quarter, with its half million of Russian Jews. They ' ask themselves whether the metropolis of the United States can any longer be considered an American city. t- To this last question the answer is easy. New York is quite as American today as it ever ias been in any of its three centuries. Diversity of blood has Mrs. Hidden Tells of Father's Fail ure as Homemaker. PORTLAND, ug. 2. (To the Editor.) Many of the orators who haVe stood upon the Chautauqua platform this year have spent a great deal of time giving the women of Oregon and the Nation generally advice In regard to the home, babies and other matters feminine. Some of us who have listened patiently to such utterances, ask that the speakers try their hands and tongues on questions and conditions for which the "male sect" is especially responsible. There is a wide neld that the lecturers are leaving un worked which they ought to know more about than woman's sphere that is their own sphere. Possibly i.iey are waiting for women to tell them what that Is. The pure food question, the trusts. Interna tional arbitration, war, famine, pesti lence, and greatest of all, i..e liquor question, all being male questions, de mand their attentlon- Qulte a large per cent of the good women of our country have been trying to rear George Washingtons and Abra ham Llncolns with husbands and fathers soaked through and through with whisky and tobacco but have concluded that the task Is herculean. In fact. It can't be accomplished. Not only are these women meeting this primary physical obstacle in the fulfilling of their duties as mothers, but they find that these whisky and tobacco-loving and favoring husbands have installed for their own pleasure the American saloon on every street corner and with it the gambling den and the brothel. Yea, more not only street corners for the brothel, but whole blocks and streets set apart for those whose ways take hold of death and hell. I believe In woman's kingdom, woman's duty, woman's power, but the Lord him self could not rear a nation pure and true and good under these conditions which the American voter has placed around the home. The Rooseveltian idea that it is the duty of woman, no matter what the circumstances, to bring into the world numerous children whose chief heritage must be impaired, enfeebled bodies and minds, is a pernicious one. I request that our President turn his at tention to the duty of making our coun try a clean and safe place for the child ren now here to live in. When the men of the country clean up personally, and make a place fit for children to come to, then will they find women ready to help build the Ideal home, and not only rear young George Washingtons and Abraham Llncolns, but make . this country truly the greatest the sun ever shone upon. Miss Willard's suggestion that we need more fathers in the home and more mothers in the government, deserves careful consideration. If the foundation of society, state -and Nation Is the home, then is it not about time that men build up that. institution? There must be the ideal father, as well as iu- mother in the Ideal home. It can never be built on the hour-ends which may be left after a night of debauch and the money which the saloonkeeper fails to find. There must be love, confidence, respect and perfect equality If there Is to be peace and harmony in the home, -ve for wife and children must be greater than love of money or power. Not until the men of the -.ation esteem the wel fare, the souls of their children of more value than the revenue from the liquor traffic, shall we have the ideal Ameri can home. Woman's heart beats true to the mother instinct and yearns for the shelter and love of home, and while she may place its adornments and grace it by her presence, she cannot build it alone. M. L. T. HIDDEN. SAILING BY MAGNETISM. Unique Proposition of Inventor Nixon of Warship Fame. New York World. "Power from Niagara to send a ship across the Atlantic by wireless trans mission of horsepower to ship?" re peated Lewis Nixon, naval constructor, expert in the building and development of ships. "Before long, we shall find a way to utilize certain waves of mag netic or electric influence that are un doubtedly a part of the energy of this earth of ours. These currents are in herent In the earth itself they are gen erated by the perpetual motion of the world around its axis. We get a dim Idea of this power through the mag netic compass. We see the needle moved toward the North Pole by a power that we do not understand. We know, nevertheless, that that power is there. We have no reason to doubt that this power is almost Illimitable. "Now, follow this line of reasoning. The savage, many generations ago, saw tho wind blow, felt the torce of the air. In course ef time, after many experi ments, the power of the air was har nessed to sails and the art of naviga tion was developed. "Consider, then, the power of this earth current which makes the needle of the compass move. Suppose, now, that an investigator along this line solve the secret of the power; that he or another man find the means of har nessing that power to human use. "There is nothing unreasonable about it. I believe this power can yet be con trolled by man's inventive faculty. My idea of the means to trap this power of the earth currents is that somebody will invent a sail bear in mind that the sail is not something to be spread to the wind, but some contrivance to catch this earth current and apply Its immense power to the driving of the ship. The mechanism may be insignifi cantly small. It may be that the ship will be propelled by other means than the screws that we now use." Has Xo Steamer to Return Allen. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2. The Gov ernment has filed a suit in the United States District Court to compel the Oceanic Steamship Company to return to tho countries whence they came three aliens, who were denied a landing- here on account of having tra choma. One alien came from Australia and the other two came from Tahiti. Since these men were brought here the Oceanic Steamship Company ha given up its Australian line., For that reason it refuses to take the deported Australian back, claiming that the law provides that aliens denied a landing shall be taken back on boats owned by the company running to the ports whence the aliens came. The company' lias no boats running to Australia, and contends that a compliance with the law is manifestly Impossible. As to the other two, the contention is that they are not affected with trachoma.. Straus and Longworths in Hawaii. HONOLULU1. Aug. 2. Oscar Straus.

We Need About Four Times as Much Nourishment While Awake as ' in Slumber Some Great Men Slept Little,. At the climax of our powers from one third to one-half of our whole life is spent In sleep, and in our infa'ney nearly all our time is given to it. Yet, strange to say, while every human being from the time of Adam until this hour has known sleep from actual experience, no man can accurately define or explain it. It cannot be wholly fatigue that Induces sleep, else why should the feeble octoge narian sleep least and the Infant who does nothing in particular sleep many times as much as its grandparents? Even modern science Is most vague on this baffling subject and finds no better use for it than "the repair of wasted tissues." Unquestionably research with the mi croscope does prove that fatigue, in some degree at any rate, exhausts and vitiates the nerve cells, while rest and sleep ap pear to restore them to the normal, says the New York Press. When Lord Brougham returned home after his bril liant and exhaustive defense of Queen Caroline, he retired at once to bed almost in a state of collapse and gave orders that he was not to be disturbed on any account, no matter how long he should sleep. His Lordship's household obeyed; but their amazement grew into positive terror when the young advocate's "nap" had prolonged itself 4S hours. Brougham's physician afterward declared this mar velous sleep was nature's own remedy for relieving a terrific mental strain and had certainly warded off some serious brain disorder. But, then, every one of us at least knows the marvelous recuperative value of a long sleep. And yet all this time digestion, respiration and many other vital functions are in full power, just as in the waking hours. Only the senses and the higher cerebral manifes tations are less active. It seems ' clear we need more than three or four times as much nourish ment while awake than asleep. And yet we wake in the morning without either hunger or faintness such as In variably accompany a long waking last. Moreover, the first morning meal is ordinarily the lightest of the day, with people free to consult their own tastes in these matters. How shan we explain this strange discrepancy In the action of the stom ach by day and by night? It Is no answer that we work in the day, hence waste and hunger; for the same crav ing for food during the day is experi enced by a person taking little or no physical exercise as by the bricklayer, foundryman or other worker engaged in the hardest manual toil. Obviously, then, a condition of things has been superinduced in sleep which involves not only a discontinuance of intercourse with the world, but a posi tive suspension of some of the sternest exactions of our nature. There is another result of deep sleep which la seldom remarked. Lie down upon bed or couch, and however tired you may be you will rarely remain in one position long if you be awake. At fre quent intervals you feel an Impulse to turn over or move some of your limbs to relieve what has become an uncomfort able position. On the other hand, when you fall asleep, even though you have the hard ground for a couch, and, like Jacob, a stone for a pillow, you may He quietly for many hours without moving, except for involuntary respiration. Nor when you awake will you experience any discomfort even In that part of your body which has borne the most pressure, such as could not be contentedly endured for five minutes when awake. Indeed, not only will there be no sense of pain or discomfort, but rather one of positive refreshment. It is said among the myriad theories of sleep that this condition is merely "the assertion of the m THE splendid issue for August, which is devoted to Portland and the Pacific Northwest.

The length of time a man can preserve his mental faculties without sleep varies with the individual constitution; but the inevitable result is delirium before many days. The Chinese punlBh certain flagrant criminals by a system of diabolical teas ing so as to prevent sleep altogether; and this is regarded with the utmost hor ror even by the most hardened criminals. When Napoleon attempted the con quest of Haytl, Toussaint L'Ouverture, who had become Commander-in-Chief of the negro troops, could not venture on a pitched battle with the Napo leonic veterans, but had recourse to a less risky -yet more effective method. No sooner had the French troops fallen asleep at night than Toussaint made a feint of attacking them, thus arousing them all under arms and in a state of great excitement. These tactics were repeated so frequently that even the greatest of the Napoleonic warriors were utterly worn out, and In time an army of 30,000 was reduced to a bare 6000 effectives, without having fought a single battle.
