Ill Health Ciiven as Reason for With
drawal Prom Be nth.
Seattle. United States District
Judge Cornelius H. Hanford, whose
conduct on the bench has been under
investigation for nearly a month by
a subcommittee of the house ju
diciary committee, telegraphed his
resignation to President Taft last
Monday. Judge Hanford gives ill
health as the reason for his resigna
tion. The members of the house commit
tee assembled at an unusually early
hour, prepared to continue the hear
ing, but the committee was not called
to order. In a short time the com
mittee and Judge Hanford's counsel
adjourned to an ante-room, and the
nervous air about the six men and
the alternate departure and return of
the attorneys gave a hint to the peo
ple in the court room that important
conferences were in progress. Mean
while Judge Hanford was seated on
the bench in an adjoining room, lis
tening to a motion calendar. He
seemed to be under no greater strain
than for weeks.
Judge Hanford's statement to the
public follows:
"The almost constant strain under
which I have worked for more than
22 years has taxed but not exhausted
my power of endurance. I am not
likely to have a vacation or rest, but
a change of occupation will be a
welcome relief. I intend to practice
law in Seattle.
In the investigation which has
been conducted by the subcommittee
of the house of representatives, much
testimony has been given by wit
nesses who know me and by others
who do not. I am grateful for the
commendation of those who have
spoken and written in my favor, and
as for those who have maligned nie,
1 only wish to say that I would be
ashamed of'myself if I had not in
curred the enmity of such people as
they are. A judge is never so sure of
being right as when his work has
been criticised unfairly, and without
boasting, In view of all that has been
and may be said of and concerning
myself and my work. I am glad that
my record is what it is."
Among resolutions reported by
the resolutions committee at the
Yreka Mining Congress and unani
mously adopted was one recommend
ing a simplified procedure governing
the procuring of patents to mineral
lands.
Another commended the "splendid
work of the American Mining Con
gress in the legislative creation of
the bureau of mines and for its as
sistance and work in placing the min
ing industry on a better basis,"
pledging "our influence to render
any aslstance possible."
Another commended the work of
the geological survey and requested
congress to complete the wofk of
mapping unsurveyed sections.
Reduced rates on railroads for
minerals is urged as follows: "Leg
islatures and the state railroad com
missions and the interstate commerce
commission are requested to make a
thorough investigation into existing
freight and transportation rates in
this district and to secure such re
duction thereof as will enable the
miner to better develop the, many
rich properties now lying dormant
for want of such equitable transpor
tation rates."
A more liberal interpretation of
the mineral laws relative to the use
of timber and water by the secretary
of the interior is the -subject of a
memorial, to the end that the miner
and prospector may be encouraged.
The mining bureaus of California
and Oregon are, commended for their
work and the legislatures of the two
states petitioned for suitable appro
priations to carry on the work.
The congress pledged itself to
fight wildcat mining schemes and
stop the sale of worthless mining se
curities, and expose frauds.
San Diego was thanked for its in
vitation to hold the session of 1915
there, and a suitable display of
minerals at the Panama-Pacific fair
recommended.
Prospectors of Oregon and Califor
nia were invited to become members
of the congress in another resolution.
The semi-annual meetings were
changed from January and July to
May and October and Redding select
ed for the next congress. Yreka and
Siskiyou county wtre thanked for
the entertainment of the congress
and the fine mineral display.
TAFT PREPARES AXSWER.
Statement Itefutes , Charges That
Nomination Was Stolen,
Washington, D. C. The detailed
answer which President Taft's ad
visers will make to charges that his
nomination at Chicago was procured
in illegal fashion was one of the first
subjects that greeted Carmi A.
Thompson of Ohio when he assumeu
the post of secretary to the presi
dent. Mr. Thompson discussed the
answer with ex-United States Sena
tor Dick of Ohio, who had charge of
the Taft contests before the republi-.
can national committee.
The statement reviews every con
test and is longer than any presiden
tial message. At the conclusion of
the conference, however, it was said
that a comprehensive abstract would
be drafted. It is the idea of repub
lican leaders to arm - Taft speakers
will all the facts in every contest.
The abstract probably will be made
public' through the newspapers and
that and the full answer probably
will be published in pampnlet form.

RAILROADS BACK ENGLAND.
Congressmen fall on IreHldeiifr and
Muke Assertion.
Washington, D. C. President Taft
was told last week by Representative
Knowland of California that the Can
adian railroads, acting in sympathy
with the American railroads, were
behind Great Britain's protest
against free tolls through the Pana
ma canal for United States ships, and
"there is little doubt that the Amer
ican transcontinental railroads
prompted the move."
Knowland also talked with Secre
tary Knox. Both the president and
secretary state they are standing for
the right of the United States to put
certain American vessels through the
canal toll free. While many of Taft's
advisors contend the question of
tolls is really one of interstate com
merce, they are hoping the dispute
may be settled without being submit
ted to The Hague tribunal.

Man Slowly Dying Waits Patiently
for End.
Nine years ago this coming Sep
tember Charles J. Murphy of North
field, a student 24 years old, limped
into St. Luke's hospital on crutches
and was put to bed. He has been
there ever since, slowly dying of a j
disease ancient as the earliest relics '
of Egypt, as mysterious as the pre- I
historic period and as certain as the
pyramids. He is slowly ossifying
turning to stone the deposits of the
joints becoming solid and stiffening
his entire frame into a rigid thing.
When the chill touches his -heart
he will die. It may be a year. It
may not be for a number of years.
But there is no escape. The techni
cal name of the disease is osteo
arthritis. Its cause Is unknown, ino
niethod of stopping it has been re
vealed. Day after day Murphy lies in a
little darkened room in the basement
ward of the nospital, nearly prone
on an adjustable cot, his arms stiff
and flat beside his body, his limbs
changed from the human shape, his
eyes blind by the ossification process
and he can distinguish only between
light and darkness. At night he is
lifted into his bed, to await another
day. It has been a long time since
he could pass tae time by reading.
It has been longer than that since
he could give himself any physical
assistance.
The physician to whom he and his :
mutual ncui, TT lliC vl lorjltac 11IOL
became alarming, and who imedi-
ately made the diagnosis which was
a death warrant, says he doesn't be
lieve there is a point in the unfor
tunate man's body which has not be
come, rigid or started to stiffen.
Even his jaws are affected so that
he talks with some difficulty and
must be fed slowly and carefully.
Through it all Murphy is patient.
He knows he Is dying and is waiting
philosophically for the end. His
mind is active and appreciative, and
always reaching out for knowledge
of all things the world has been do
ing since he entered his room nearly
half a score years ago. Corvallis
Gazette.
"It's the best store in Ashland." -
"I declare, those American sox I bought
there for 15 cents wear and look like two
bit ones."
"He ought to be run out of town."
"Let's stop in here. I never pass this
store without stopping in, whether I want
to buy anything or uot."
"Those two-for-a-nickel hair nets are
the beet ever. I used to pay 10 cents a
piece for 'em."
"I used to pay 25 cents for my chil
dren's stockings, but now Tbuy them for
15 cents at the 5-10-15 and 2oc store, and
they really wear better."

land. Why, he actually gives the people

"The Red Band candy at 15 cents a
pound makes a hit with me It is guar
anteed absolutely pure, and is better for
the children than that rich high-priced
stuff." ,
"I just love to stop in there because
they have everything and it's all in plain
sight so you can just go ahead and wait
on yourself. And the clerks never give
you that fade-away look which makes
you feel like your number is 23."
"'We always call it our store because
we feel that we have just as much inter
est there as the proprietor'
"Yes, they have all kinds of sheet mu
sic there."
"Did you say 1500 sheets?" "Yes, the
best quality Silkoline toilet tissue, 1500
sheets in a roll, for 10 cents. That beats
the 1000-sheet rolls in both price and
quality."

L. Bullock, who entered the institu

to the deck while attempting to de
scend and broke his neck, dying in
stantly. Bullock was with his roommate,
Midshipman Alston, also from Texas,
when the fatal acident took place.
He left Bancroft Hall at 3:30 and
the accident took place within ten
minutes. .He reached the highest
point of the mainmast without seri
ous difficulty and transfixed his cap
on the spike at the top. In attempt
ing to descend Bullock tried to slide
down a single rope and his hands
were evidently burned by the rapid
descent. He attempted to grab the
mast or other ropes and lost his hold
completely. Bullock struck the
crossbars of the mast in his fall and
it is believed that he then received
the fatal injuries. He struck the
deck 100 feet below and lay lifeless.
Naval surgeons were brought to the
scene promptly and pronounced him
dead.

SULZKR BILL PASSKI).
Department of Labor .May He Added
to Government.
Washington, D. C. The bill fath
ered by Congressman William Sulzer
of New York, which provides for the
creation of a new department of la
bor, was unanimously passed by the
house last week, Sulzer being given
a great ovation on completion of the
vote.
The measure creates the position
of secretary of labor, who shall be
a member of the cabinet. Samuel
Gompers and other labor leaders
fought hard for the bill. It provides
for the transfer of the bureau of la
bor to the new executive department
and authorizes sweeping discretion
to the secretary of labor to offer fed

Washington, D. C. That no law

was the assertion of Senator Smith of
South Carolina in a speech in the
senate Monday. He said:
"If we decide that our title to the
Panama canal zone is such as to
make it practically United States ter
ritory insofar as our relations with
foreign countries is concerned, then
it follows that any law we make in
reference to our own citizens' use of
this property, where It applies to our
citizens aione, is not a matter
arbitration."
