ferns. He is working on the theory
that the pearl Is the result of the pres
ence of some foreign substance within
the pearl, and that as the mussel ex
udes the fluid which goes to make the
pearly interior of the shell which pro
tects it, the formation of this pearly
substance about the foreign particle
will form a pearl. He seeks merely to
promote what he believes to be a nat
ural development, and in crates placed
at the bottom of the Mississippi River a
few miles above Muscatine are hun
dreds of mussels which have been
treated through the Introduction of a
foreign substance such as a particle of
sand In the fleshy part of the bivalve.
If the experiments of Dr. Herrlck
should prove successful the finding of
these crates would be as fortunate as
the recovery of Captain Kldd's burled

Federal Industrial Relations Com
mittee Hears Variety of Testi
mony From Different Trades
Regarding Honrs and Far.
MAXT LIVES LOST IN FLOOD ON
SHAN-TING PENINSULA.
LOS ANGELES. Sept. 10. The even
climate of Los Angeles is responsible
for low wages In many crafts here, C
R. Gore, business ag-ent of the car
penters' district council, testified today
before the Federal Industrial Relations
Commission.
"Men can work here about 10 months
out of the year, while In cities like Chi
cago and St Louis they cannot work
more than seven months in crafts like
mine." he said. "Hence wages are
lower."
"Do you think God made the climate
for the benefit of the employer only?"
Commissioner Garretson asked.
"I hardly would subscribe to that
theory," the witness replied.
Mr. Gore's testimony was to the ef
fect that union carpenters here get S4
a day, while they make more money In
other cities, notably San Francisco,
where $5 is the rate.
Unorganized carpenters here do not
always make 14, but more frequently
tz.Zo to H. Gore said.
Sunshine Proves Lure.
The witness also said that employers
lured laborers here from the East with
word pictures of gold and sunshine.
"When I reached here they separated
me from the gold and I had more sun
shine than I needed," he remarked.
Mr. Gore declared that only 6 per
cent of the workers In his trade own
their homes here, while P. J. McDonald,
a lumber dealer, testified that 65 per
cent of his men, who are unorganized,
own their property.
That there is less efficiency among
the nine-hour men here under open
shop conditions than there is among
organized eight-hour workers In San
Francisco was the contention of A. J.
Mooney, editor of Union Labor, a local
paper.
"I cite my own exj-erlence as a car
penter," he said. " In San Francisco
I was a willing worker on the eight-
hour iob. Here on a nine-hour shirt
I did what I had to do. I think that
is the universal feeling among work-
tngmen."
Clerks' Wages Declared Low.
The result of low rates among part
ly organized crafts has been to reduce
wa?ea in unorganized lines, sucn as
clerks, the witness said. The cost of
clothlne and food here is about the
same as it is In San Francisco, he
added.
In Thomas Haverly. a plumber, the
commission found an employer who
works his unorganized men eight hours
and pays them union wages regardless
of what they may be. When tne union
raises the scale he advances his men
accordingly.
He objects to union working rules
In some particulars and Is against
strikes, he testified.
'Much labor trouble would be done
away with If these unions would work
by rule of reason and recognize that
an employer Is a human being," he de
olared.
Incidentally he suggested that the
belief that plumbers charged exorbi
tant prices had been created by the
funny papers rather than financial re
ports.
John Craig, a shipbuilder, and J. E
Tlmmons, president of the Central
Labor Council, also testified.
JTEARLY ALL OF" STATE FAIR PA
VILION ENGAGED FOR DISPLAY.

American Physicians and Teachers
Rescue Despairing Chinese Water
Pours Through City Gates.
PEKLM, Sept 10. Loss of life and
great destruction of property are at
tending the floods spreading over the
Shan-Tung peninsula. A correspond
ent at Wel-Hslen telegraphs as fol
lows:
"The Wel-Hslen River, ordinarily
small stream flowing placidly 15 feet
below the level of the town, is now a
flood, causing enormous damage. It
poured through the city gates, reach
ing its crest apparently on Tuesday
night. On that night the American
and British teachers at the Wei-Hsien
missionary college were aroused by
the crash of falling walls and heart
rending cries of despairing Chinese.
Leaving their homes, the teachers
plunged into the waters and rescued
many from drowning. The American
physicians, by the use of canoes which
they skillfully managed in the
dangerous currents. rescued several
women patients at the hospitals.
"The authorities closed the city
gates In an attempt to stay the waters
and 40 market men caught outside the
walls were swept away to their deaths.
Many were drowned and the home
less and destitute number thousands In
Wei-Hsien alone. Wei-Hsien's expert
ence is typical of that of scores and
perhaps hundreds of other towns and
villages in Shan-Tung.
"The writer on Sunday after drifting
all night in a sampan entered the
village of Matou and found It the cen
ter of a river ten miles wide."
Rea Cross engineers have completed
a survey of the Hwal River and are
now in Pekin discussing the possibility
of a reclamation plan with the government.
CHARGE AGAINST DOCTOR'S WIFE
INCREASED TO MURDER,
Ball Is Revoked and Woman Remand
ed to Jail New Witnesses for
Prosecution Are Discovered.
MINEOLA, N. Y., Sept. 10 A super
seding Indictment, charging murder in
the flrBt degree, was found today
against Mrs. Florence Carman by the
grand Jury investigating the murder
of Mrs. Louis Bailey, shot down by an
unseen assailant in the office of Dr.
Edward Carman at Freeport on June
30 last. She had previously been in
dicted for manslaughter.
Mrs. Carman, who had been at lib
erty under $15,000 ball, was brought to
Mineola from Freeport by her counsel,
in expectation that such an Indictment
would be returned. She was arraigned
immediately and committed to the Nas
sau County Jail .without bail lor trial,
which, probably will be in December.
The grand Jury was the same which
considered the case in July. Since
then, however, new witnesses have
been found, corroborating the stories
told by Cella Coleman, maid in the
Carman household, and Frank Farrell,
a tramp, star witness for the state.
Mrs. Carman's trial may be hastened
if District Attorney Smith requests that
the Supreme Court hold a special ses
sion to hear the case. Otherwise It Is
hardly likely that it will be reached
before December.

PEARL GROWING IS TRIED
Cnique Kxperlment Made by Scien
tist in Mississippi River.
MUSCATINE, la., Sept 5. Pearl
growing is an Industry which while
unheard of by the millions of Ameri
can people. Is being carried along on
a considerable scale In the Mississippi
River near this place. Perhaps no ex
periments which are being carried on
in the field of science have attracted
as little attention and yet assume the
importance of those which are being
conducted by Dr. W. P. Herrlck, of
New York, who Is seeking to propa
gate by artificial means the fresh
water pearl.
For years the Japanese have been
endeavoring to grow pearls, but their
endeavors have not yielded encourag

grown pearls, but they have been of
but little value and? only In demand as
low-priced Jewels.
The eminent New York scientist be

IDAHO TO HAVE COURT
supreme: bench reduced to oxe
active member.
Successor to Judge Allshle to Be Named
at Once and Justice Stewart
Expected to Ilesign.
BOISE. Idaho, Sept. 10. Idaho will
be given a Supreme Court this week,
for while he la resting at Hot Lake,
Eastern Oregon, following a strenuous
primary election campaign. Governor
Haines will name the successor to ex
Chief Justice Ailshle, defeated candi
date for United States Senate. Owing
to the Illness of Justice Stewart, still
in a sanitarium at Portland, the Su
preme Court virtually ceased to exist,
for but one justice was on the job. He
la Isaac X. Sullivan, who automatically
succeeded to the Chief Justiceship.
There Is wide speculation as to who
Governor Haines will appoint. In this
connection the names of defeated can
didates in the non-partisan race for
Chief Justice are mentioned, or Charles
V. Beale. Benjamin F. Tweedy and
Warren Trultt. James W. Babb, of
Lewiston. also has been mentioned.
Governor Haines Is said to have let it
be known that his selection for the
justice will be a North Idaho man.
The fact that the appointee will only
hold office until his successor Is elect
ed at the general election In November
makes It difficult to place the appoint
ment. It is said, as attorneys do not
care to abandon their practice for so
short a period.
Justice Stewart has been ill prac
tically the entire year. It Is under
stood that his resignation from the
bench will be forthaoming. for it is not
believed he will be able to resume his
seat.
RAIN IS N0HARM TO HOPS

more wet weather. The rain washed
the hops and vines clean and It looks
as If the crop will be of finer quality
than for some years past. Some bal

already brought in the hops are clean
and In first-class condition.
There are over 16,000 workers In the
fields this year. Reports are now com
ing in as to the quantity of hops and
they seem to be about 30 per cent short
of last year. Yards that averaged a

WHY GOOD BLOOD IS RED
Why are we continually being told
that good blood must be bright red?
What has color to do with the quality?
Just this. The oxygen In the air Is
the great supporter of animal life. One
business of the blood Is to take oxygen
from the air (which It meets in the
lungs) and deliver It to the tissues of
the body. When the blood, filled with
life-sustaining oxygen, Is sent out by
the heart it Is bright red. When It
returns, gilled with impurities and de
prived of its oxygen, it is dark.
Prom this it Is clear that there are
two prime requisites of health, pure
air and bright red blood the pure
air to furnish the oxygen, the rich
blood to carry It where It is needed.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make the
blood rich and red because they In
crease its power to carry oxygen,
actually making it so much more able
to carry increased life and strength to
every organ of the body. Try these
tonic pills and note the Increased color
in cheeks and lips; see how your
nerves become steadier, your appetite
better, your digestion stronger, your
step quicker, your troubles lighter.
"Building Up the Blood" Is a handy
little book to have. It is free on re
quest from the Dr. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

SALEM BEER
the most popular beverage on the
Pacific Coast?
SALEM BEER is brewed in one of the most modern
plants on the Pacifio Coast. It is aged in steel
glass-lined tanks. It is conveyed by modern pips
line system direct to the bottle house, bottled under
pressure and therefore never oomes in contract with
the air from the time it leaves the fermenting tank
until the bottle is opened by the consumer. The
consumer is absolutely assured a beer of ideal
effervescence, snap and purity.
A trial will surely convince any one of the ex
cellence of Salem Bottled Beer.
