Controllers of motor-cars, 40 cents increase. Roads involved, Gl. Engineers affected, 37,000. ' i Chicago Four millions of dollars a year was what tho officials of 61 West ern railroads put in the stockings of tho locomotlvo engineers. The gift brought "peace and good will" and averted what might have proved one of the most disastrous strikes in the hiBtory of tho country. Commissioner Of Labor Charles P. Ncill played the part of Santa Claus to tho engineers. ' For seven days ho worked to bring the railroads and the engineers together and with his work accomplished he left in the afternoon for his homo in Washington to spend Christmas with his fumily. In spite of their repeated assertions that they had reached the limit, tho managers made concessions in the face of a threatened strike. Concessions wore mndc by the engineers also, but they established two of tho chief points for which they contended jurisdiction over motor-trucka and an increased schedule for tho Mallet type of engine. Tho incroaso granted the men runs as high aB 14 per cent on certain engines and aB low as 8 per cent on the higher- naid runs. The average increase to the payrolls of tho railroadB is 10 1-3 per cent. TWELVE LIVE ON SI.35 A DAY. Pittsburg Family Holds Record for Thrift. Pittsburg- A tale of comfort and thrift contrary to tho ubuoI ones of distress was unfolded Jin the Juvenile court hero by MIbs Nance Oppenheim cr, a probation officer, to the court and spectators. A family of 12 is support ed on an income of $1.35 a day, but how it is done has not been disclosed. Miss Oppenhemcr told the story when she requested Judge Cohen to al low Antonio Elf, 10 years old, to go home. He waa arrested for being in the Btreets late at night. "Ho has a splendid home, your honor," said Miss Oppenheimer. "His mother," pointing to the woman stand ing by tho lad's side, "is a splendid housekeeper, and they have 10 bright children, of whom the oldest is a girl 13 years old." "I don't know how they do it," said Mias Oppenheimer, later, "but they aro nice people and better home condi tions couldn't bo asked for. Every thing iB neat and orderly, and there is no lack of wholesome food for the en tire family. The father is a laborer and earns one dollar and thirty-five cents a day. That man is a credit to any community." Without further ado tho boy wbb al lowed to go homo with his mother. Son of Rich Man Starves.

Third Assistant Postmaster-General Makes Annual Report. Washington That Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock is determined to put tho Postoffice department upon a aelf BUBtaining basis is evidenced in the annual report of thn third assistant postmaBter general.

The expenditures for last year were $229,977,224, an excess over receipts of $5,848,565. To this amount Bhould be added $32,915 lost by burglary, fire, bad debts, etc., making a total of $5, 881,481, a decrease of $11,598,288 when compared with the deficit of the fiscal year 1909. SHAKE-UP IS COMING, Rumored Four Important Changes Will Occur in Cabinet. Washington Rumors of a coming shakeup in the cabinet have been re newed. It was reported that the changes said to be contemplated by President Taft involved the resigna tions of Secretary Knox, MacVeagh, Dallinger and possibly Wilson. Knox, it is known, is dissatisfied over his loss of influence in Bhaplng the administration's policies. Politicians say the time has arrived for President Taft to dismiss Balling er. A report that Congressman Charlea Scott of Kansas, will succeed Secre tary Wilson is generally credited. The President's secretary, Charles Norton, is named by politicians to suc ceed MacVeagh, who it iB expected will retire on account of ill health. Senator Flint and Representative Tawney are mentioned as possible suc cessors of Ballinger. DEAL IS CLOSED FOR DAM. Mexican Concern ;to Build Ifovee on Lower Colorado. Washington Arrangements between the State department and the Mexican embassy have been concluded for the construction of a dum and levee on the lower Colorado river in Imperial val ley. Congress at tho last session ap propriated $1,000,000 for tho work. Under tho arrangements the con struction will bo carried on by the Col orado Land company, a Mexican cor poration, tho stockholders in which are Americans. It is provided that the United States does not acquire any right of ownership or easement either in Mexican terrritory or the works executed on Mexican territory, where the dam will bo located. The works aro to be built from surveys ap proved by a Mexican engineer. Gunboat at Amapala. Washington The gunboat Yorktown has Hrrived at Amapala, Honduras. The warship was sent to investi gate conditions and protect American interests in Honduras.

According to Federal officials, the revolution, which has been threatened for montns, is about to break out, and the first battle is expected early in January. Prepar ations to repel an attack on the city ore being made and Federal troops are being mobilizedd at Tegucigalpa. Thn rnvnlntlonarv army has been drilling ut a point about 20 miles from Capo Gracilis. L.ee nriHwnuo, i American adventurer, who has played an important part in tho revolutionary led armies in Hon duras and Nicaragua, will Bharo tho command of tho revolutionists with former President Uonilia. Hasto on Treaty Sought. Washington If a Canadian recipro city treaty is to bo concluded during tho present session all records in. tho matter of negotiation must be broken. Tho inccntivo to hasto lies in tho real ization by tho administration of tho dlffiultyof framing any sort of a Re publican reciprocity treaty that can safely bo'steered through tho next con gress with Its Democratic house. Tho houso must bo afforded an opportunity to deal with tho subject. POPULATION GROWS DENSE. Rhode Island Loads; Washington Has Largest Growth. Washington Rhode Island has 508.5 persons to the fcquare mile, thus, according to ccnsuB bureau figures, leading the list of states in tho matter of density of population. Nevada, with only seven-tenths of a person to the mile, finds a place at the lower end. of tho table giving these facts. Second in tho density list. Massa chusetts supports 418.8 persons to the square mile; New Jersey, 337.7; Con necticut, 231.3, and New York 191.2. The other states possessing more than luu to the mile aro : Pennsylvania, 171; Maryland, 130.3; Ohio, 1)7; Delaware, 103, and Illinois. 100.7. Wyoming, boasting y2 persons to tho mile, more than doubles Nevada, while Arizona, with 1.8. stands third from the bottom. Montana, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, South Dakota, Colorado, and North Dakota, all have fewer population than 10 to the square mile. Of the states of large population, Washington takes the lead in the growth of density, having advanced from 7.8 to 17.1 per square mile in the last 10 years, thus taking a place be tween Kansas, with 10.5, and Nebras ka, with 15.5. Washington exceeds her neighbor, Oregon, with seven per sons to the mile, by more than 10, and even surpasses California, with 15.2. Idaho increased from 1.9 to 3.9, and Oklahoma from 11.4 to 23.9. The figures for other states are : Indiana, 75.3; Kentucky, 57.0; Ten nessee, 52.4; Virginia, 51.2; West Virginia, 50.8; South Carolina, 49.7; Michigan, 48.9; Missouri, 47.9; New Hampshire, 47.7; North Carolina, 45.3; Georgia, 44.4; Wisconsin, 42.2; Alabama, 41.7; Iowa, 40; Vermont 39; Mississippi, 38.8; Louisana, 36.5; Arkansas, 30; Minnesota, 25.7; Maine, 24.8. Texas, 14.8; Florida, 13.7. SATISFY BOTH FAIR CITIES. Let San Francisco Havo Panama; Deepwater for New Orleans. Washington A compromise on the Panama exposition question may be considered when congress reconvenes after the holiday recess. It ia pro posed by congressmen not pledged to either San Francisco or New Orleans that San Francisco shall have the ex position in 1915 to commemorate the opening of the Panama canal, while New Orleans shall hold an exposition in 1918 to commemorate, say, the be ginning of work on the lakes-to-the gulf 'deep waterway. It is said this plan has been Bug gested at the White house and that it has met with the approval of the pres ident. Taft and those who have openly espoused the compromise proposition are said to feel that in no event could New Orleans have a deeper interest than in the completion of, or at least the undertaking of actual work n the deepening of the Mississippi river and the digging of the necessary canals to make it an outlet from the Great Lakes. An exposition to celebrate the event would be in order, it ia urged, and New Orleans would be the proper city in which to to hold it. With such a compromise, the Crescent city Bhould bo urged to withdraw its claim for the Panama canal exposition and permit San Francisco to hold this celebration without further opposition. An effort will be made to obtain the consent of New Orleans to thia plan. Japanese Assault Cpnsul. New York A special dispatch to the Evening Telegram from Toklo, Japan, states that the American vice consul at Dalny, Manchuria, Adolph A. Williamson, was assaulted at a fish market by several Japanese and Chi nese. It is said the affair will be re ported to the State department. Washington News of an assault by two Japanese upon Adolph A. William son, American vice consul at Dalny, in Manchuria, reached the State depart ment nearly a week ago, but his mes sage indicated that ho had sustained no hurt, and made light of the aiTair. The State department has taken no action. Civilians Not Allowed Arms. Washington No instructions have gone forward from Washington to General Duvnll or anyone in authority in Mnaila to conduct a search of the homes of the Japanese there. It Is as sumed that General Duvall is acting in conjunction with the civil authorities. It is reported by secret service agents that stores of arms and ammunition havo been collected and secreted by civilians in tho Philippines. No civil ian is allowed to have these. Forests Aro Eliminated. Washington Proclamations order ing additions and eliminations in na tional forests in California, Idaho and Utah wero signed by President Taft. Tho changes made were aa follows : Modero forest, California, 20,967 acrea eliminated, 182,050 acres added; Bolso forest, Idaho, 9,940 acres elim inated; Sevier forest, Utah, 93,730 acrea eliminated, 2,560 acres added.

Thia tcrmlnatea a source of conatant troublo In Colombia between tho United States-owned company, tho govern ment and tho natlvea of Bogota. Tho city paid $800,000 for theproperty. TRAP FOR KILLING INSECTS Novel Method of Destroying Moth and Other Insects Which Aro Harmful to Grapevines. A novel mothod of killing moths and other lnsocta which aro harmful to grapovlnos boa boon adopted near Rhelms. Posts supporting flvo-candlo-powor olectrlo lamps wero placed In tho vineyards, and from each post a dish containing water, with a top layer of potroloum, waa suspended. During tho first night theso trapB wero placed In threo parallel rows at distances of about 200 feet from each other, the distance botwecn each lamp being about 75 feet. On tho first clear evening tho current was turned on about eight o'clock and tho lamps re mained burning until an hour or so after midnight. Soon after tho lamps woro lighted tho Insects Bwarmed toward them and wero rapidly killed, either by the fumes of tho petroleum or by tho petroleum Itself. Tho same operation was resumed tho next clear night, but tho lamps of tho two out side rowB were placed about 25 feot closer to thoso of tho center row, and this was repeated on each of five sub sequent clear nights, so as finally to bring tho threo rows within about 5C feet of each other. During the auc ceedlng six or seven clear nights the movoment was reversed, In tho same manner, so as to roturn the lamps to their position of the first night. As to tho position of the lamps, numerous experiments were made during these trlalB, and it was proved that the greatest number of Insects wero killed when tho petroleum dish was only a few Inches abovo' tho ground. MUSIC AS A LIFE-SAVER Tale From the Vasty Deep That Proves Truth of 8ong Warbled by Poet. Up from tho vasty deep comes a talo that proves the truth of what the poot sang when, ho warbled to the effect that "music hath charms to sooth the savage breast." The story has been delivered In New York by tho crow of tho bark Pallas, which was wrecked on Grand Cayman Island In tho Caribbean sea during the recent tropical hurricane. When the vessel struck It was Iq, tho night, and In order to cheer up their comrades during tho hours before day light, two of the crew, who happened to be musicians, ground out tunes on a fiddle and accordion. That tho per formers escaped to tell the tale must bo put down as a remarkable evidence of tho fortitude and forgiveness on the part of tho men who wero facing death In watery graves. However, no murder was done, and when day broke the natives of the Island were seen hurrying to tho res cue in such boats aa they could com mand. They explained that they had heard the music and had come down to investigate the strange occurrence. The whole lot of shipwrecked men, as well as some chickens and a pig were taken ashore, and a grand barbecue with flddlo and concertina accompani ment, celebrated the rescue. All of which points to tho moral that when one goes down to the sea In a ship he should carry some pro ducer of Bweet sounds even if noth ing moro than a jewsharp along as a life preserver. Ship Narrowly Escaped Meteorite. Tho Hull trawlor, which recently recorded that during its voyage in the North soa a meteor fell a few yards away from the vessel, shaking It from stem to stern and rendering Its compass useless, was not the first ressel to havo narrowly escaped dls it er by tho fall of a meteorite. Tho African Frinco of tho Prince Lino was nearly engulfed in the At lantic from a similar cause in Octo ber, 1906, and the captain oh reach ing Liverpool gave an interesting ac count of tho escape. Ho and the sec ond officer were on tho bridge when :ho bolt fell from the blue and it seem ;d to them as it entored the water zlose to tho ship, to bo a bugo mass Df molten metal poured out of the sky. "Had It struck us," said Capt. ndorson, "wo would have been to oy annlhilatetd without a doubt mother mysterious loss ot a vessel tn avery way fitted to undertake a voy age. "I am of opinion," he added, "that :o some euch causo must bo attrlb ited losses so mysterious that neither seamanship, engineering nor ordinary theories can explain them.'" London Oally News. Marriage and Liberty. Liberty comes In such different ways! For women it comes most oft en through marriage, Nino women in ten have moro space ifter they aro married for tho exorciso of their wills than they had before; thereforo wo can all see moro clearly what they really aro. Tho most ty rannical husband cannot rob a woman of her authority over hor children and 'lor household. Tho good . woman It better, tho hard woman Is harder, tho nean woman la moaner than ever alio was. Usually a married woman has a moro strongly marked character than her unmarried sister. Her friends find It moro easy to call up her men tal face; thoy aro more euro how sho will act in given clrcumaances. Mar rlnga Is almost always fraught with sotoo surprises to tho atudont of nhar c.or. Those surprises aro loosely dqscrlbod as changes; but chango in olinraotor Ib bo rare an occurrence, inoro QBpoolally In women, that It should nover bo regarded as an ex planation unless all otliora falL A HUMAN RATTLE BOX COVETED BY DOCTOR 8 FOR DIO SECTION, HE 8ELL8 HI8 BODY. Kansas City Man Can Dislocate Every Joint In His Body and Move His Heart From One 8lde of Body to the Other. Kansas City, Mo. Every time Ellla Whitman passes a doctor who knows him ho Is followed by a covetous and' greedy look. Por while nature has endowed some of us with a special aptitude for driving laundry wagona or constructing ditches, It gave Whit man a freak of a body which every truo M. D. would like to look into. Whitman can dislocate every joint In his frame. Ho calls himself the "Hu man Rattle Box" a titlo which sprang from his ability to rattle hia ribs with his shoulder blades. He ap noara In theaters and also does nlaln or fancy dislocations for medical clinics. Whitman also has an acro batic heart. "Put your hand here," Whitman di rected as he prepared to prove IL The heart was ticking away in tho regular place. Then ho twisted his Interior around. Taking the hand of his interviewer, ho placed it about seven inches lower than where the samo heart bad been and on the right hand side. "Now she's here!" he said with par donable pride. "She" certainly had moved. Whit man rolled up his sleeves to show that ho didn't havo a second heart about him anywhere. There are some things he can't do. He admitted his inability to put his lungs in his feet or take hlB arma entirely off. "When I get a job at a medical school," explained Whitman, "I lie on an operating table and make any dis location the doctors call for. The stu dents set tho dislocations sometimes two or three of 'em working on me at a time." Unlike the average run of geniuses, Whitman is an excellent financier, "Doctors are always trying to buy my body," he said. "They want to dissect it after I am dead, of course. I've sold It twice for $590 each time. I outlived them both my body re verting to myself at their deaths. "I had to fight for it once, though. The second time I sold it was to Dr. Nicholas . Senn of the Rush Medical college, Chicago. He died a couple of years ago and In his will he be queathed the 'Rattle Box' that's me to his son, Dr. Manuel Senn. I .sued for possession of my body. The courts upheld me and I am now living in a body that belongs to no one in the world except me." MOVES 7,000 DEAD BODIES Michigan Gravestones and Burial Place Ornaments Are Transported to a New Site. Negaunee, Mich. The cemetery of. this city, with its 7,000 bodies and proportionate number of headstones and other burial place ornaments, is being removed to a new site to per mit an iron company to work the rich bed of ore that underlays the old cemetery. The burial place now being vacated was selected 40 years ago and the per mission to remove it was not secured without a storm of protest, but , tho mine company provided a larger and more attractive site and is paying a local undertaker $10 for each body he removes. Every body In the cemetery will be removed by this undertaker, unless others prefer to do the work at their own expense. 1 The headstones and family monu ments are being removed to their new places and the damages incident to cartage and the resetting are being re paired in a way that promises a better conditioned cemetery when tho work is done. A BODY IN STORE HE BOUGHT Gruesome Package Left In Closet Ono Year- by Former Owner Is Finally Opened. London. A mummified human body, apparently that of a boy about four teen years of age, has been discov ered at Nottingham under astounding circumstances. About a yoar ago, Thomas Show croft purchased a small grocery In Nottingham. Tho previous owner (a woman) asked her to allow a parcol in a cupboard to remain thero for a few days and begged her to tako. caro of it. The woman did not return, but nothing waa done until a few daya ago, when Mr. Showcroft decided to satisfy bis curiosity. Placing tho par cel on the hearthrug he untied tho string by tho light of a candle, and was startled to find that it contained a mummified body. From an examination of tho body It la Biirmlsed tho boy died about twenty years ago. The Nottingham police aro satisfied that tho case doe not Involve any crime. Dynamite Explodes In Pocket.
