Intends to Kill Chanced of Bribery by Keeping Inspectors on More. Uhler to Revoke Licenses of Incompetent. 1 OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 9. Secretary Straus, of the Department of Commerce & Labor, is greatly dissatisfied with the present methods of steamboat inspection, and to day announced that marked reform is to be immediately inaugurated with a view to increased efficiency of service and re ducing the chances of' disaster: He has directed a change in the station of all inspectors of hulls and boilers through out the United States and will ask Con gress next Winter to authorize him to keep inspectors continually on the move. Changes on Pacific Coast. Inspector of Hulls Donald S. Amfft of Portland, is ordered to Seattle and will be succeeded by William Howe, of San Francisco. .Inspector of Boilers George Q. Weldln' goes . from Portland to Se attle and is succeeded by John E. Lynn, of San Fran jleco. The following changes are also mode on the Pacific Coast: Inspector of Hulls James Guthrie and Thomas E. Deerlng go from San Fran cisco to Seattle, and Evan Griffith, Frank H. Turner and Edward G. Rouse from Seattle to San Francisco. Inspect ors of Boilers Joseph T. Dolan and Carl S. Lehnoo. of San Francisco, go f o Se attle and H. C. Lord. John D. Wolters and Thomas Short, -from Seattle to San Francisco. Keep Them Moving and Busy. Mr. Strauss believes that, if Inspect ors are constantly shifted, there will be less certifying of deficient ships and less chance for bribery. To further improve the inspection service, he has ordered that inspections, instead or being maae yearly, shall be made four times a year hereafter, and extra precaution be taken in inspecting steamers engaged in Bum mer excursion business. Inspector-General Uhler will make a complete .tour of the United States this Summer and inspect the papers of all masters, pilots and engineers Issued with in the last two or tnree years, tie wm revoke the licenses of men found to oe incompetent.

GETS DESERVED PROMOTION Newell Made Nominal as Well as Actual Irrigation Chief. ORROONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 9. No Government official ever earned promotion more than F. H. Newell, who was today made Director of the Reclamation Service, succeeding O. D. Walcott. Mr. Newell entered the Gov ernment service in-1888, first undertaking general irrigation surveys and later tak ing charge of the Hydrographlc Bureau, when it was formed. For 18 years he has devoted his entire time to stadylng the resources and irrigation possibilities of the arid West, and he is now better in formed on this subject -than any othei living man. When the Reclamation Service was ere ated June 17, 1902, Mr. Newell was placed In active charge under the supervision of Director Walcott, who at that time was unfamiliar with irrigation matters. Most of the credit for the work done by the Reclamation Service since that time be longs to Mr. Newell, who has always been the mainspring of the service. In his new position he will continue in charge of all Government irrigation pro jects. ........ HELPS LAND-OFBTCE AFFAIRS Garfield and Balllnger Will Spend Much Time In West. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 9. Secretary Garfield and Land Commissioner Balllnger expect to spend considerable time in the West dur ing the coming Summer, familiarizing themselves with the work of the Interior Department. Mr. Garfield feels that he can better acquaint himself with Western conditions and public land affairs -by per sonal observation and consultation- with field officers than through official cor respondence. Mr. Balllnger understands the land question In its many ramifications, but he is already convinced that the public land administration can be greatly im proved, both in his office here and in out lying offices, and it Is probable that as a result of his trip there will be radical reforms In local land offices and in the inspection service In the fields. .

Mulkey, who will leave here Mon day, was host last evening at a dinner party given In the Presidential suite Tartars Also Sell Wives to Get Food Wliole Families Commit Sui cide Religious Mania. KT PETERSBURG. March 9. (Special.) As the last stores of grain in the fam ine-stricken v ages of Bast itussia giv out, hunger Is producing a crop of trage dies and crimes wltnouc parallel ovtu this unhappy country. Among the Tartars of Kazan, the sale of young girls by their famished parents has become so widespread that exchanges for that purpose have -been opened in several district towns. In many villaget near Tchitopol traffickers advanced money and grain to peasants wno signed agree ments to deliver over their children when called UDon. Around thiB fact of sale oi children, murders and suicides have multi plied. A Tartar of the village or iiiorovo jtepi his familv alive since last October b Darting one by one with three of hl daughters, all of whom he was never to see again. Finally he was lacea oy in alternative of parting with his fourth and last daughter or perishing Irom nungei with his wife and father. He resolved to sell the girl, and, by assuring her that she was going to join her sisters, over came her objections. On the way to Kazan town, the gir! met a number of other victims of hunger, who warned her of her impending fate. Three of the girls planned to kill theli guard while he slept and escape. They did, in fact, murder him. but when they tried to escape by Jumping from the train while it was passing a bridge, they wer all dashed to pieces. In the Spassk district many Tartan have sold their wives for a term of years Several women tried to escape and were beaten to death. The majority contented themselves with their lot and resigned themselves to fate. - When government relief arrived, th Tartars set out in a band to find theli wives. The police mistook them for rev olutionists and shot them down. In Southern Samara a .peasant killed his wife, mother and five children to save them from dying from starvation and the local authorities refused to arrest him, on the ground that his family would hav died anyway. The. murderer begged to b arrested, that he might not starve, and on receiving a refusal, hanged himself. The religious mania which always fol lows famine, i sthe cause of many exces- es. In Ufa, starving peasants, under the delusion that sacrifices would result in alleviation, - cut holes In the Ice and drowned three old women. In the same province appeared a "prophet," who ad vised the slaughter of every 20th child. When arrested he admitted that he had stolen and killed children from two vil lages. In Pensa province three whole families committed suicide In a single village. CHICAGO PURITAN SUNDAY Windy City Pastors Begin Campaign to Close Theaters. CHICAGO, March 9. "The Injunction 'Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy" is almost an unknown command in Chi cago. Sunday is a day of riot and law violation. The open theater engenders an air. of looseness and hilarity that is greatly responsible for that fact." In this vein the Rev. William Wilson, pastor of St. Mark's Episcopal church and president of the Actors' Church Alli ance, arraigned the "lid-off" policy prev alent in Chicago nowadays, and declared for a closed Sunday. He bitterly de. nounced the managers of the Chicago the aters who oppose closing on Sunday as '.'slave-drivers and .Inhuman money-grab bers." ' The Rev. Dr. Wilson presided and made the opening speech yesterday at the meet, lng of the Alliance. The meeting was well attended by rep resentatives of the stage and pulpit. II was unanimously voted for a closed, the ater on Sunday. Dr. Wilson announced that a great mass meeting will be called in the near future to hakea public de mand for Sunday closing of the theaters.
