Tidal Current is Too Strong for Big Vessel Navy Tug Iroquois, Aid ing, Gets Near Same Fate. Eureka, Cal. The United States protected cruiser Milwaukee went ashore on the Samoa beach near here about 4 o'clock Saturday morning and shortly after 8 o'clock that night the crew had been transferred through a roaring surf in safety to the beach by means of a breeches buoy and two life boats. On board the Milwaukee when the current carried her into the surf were 18 officers and 421 men. Not a life was lost and but one man was hurt in the difficult work of rescu ing the hundreds aboard the stranded vessel. Navy officers here express the belief that the cruiser will be a total loss. The Milwaukee, which draws 22.6 feet, had been thrown by the breakers into water but 12 feet deep at low tide and the derelict has keeled over to an angle of 20 degrees. Her double bot tom was filled with water and her en gineroom flooded. It was generally believed Bhe had a hole in her hull. When the Milwaukee was caught by the current and carried into the break ers she was pulling on a cable attached to the stranded submarine H-3 which went ashore December 14 about half mile from where the Milwaukee now lies. The monitor Cheyenne and the navy tug Iroquois, farther offshore, both had lines to the Milwaukee and were endeavoring to hold the cruiser from the clutches of the surf. The tidal current and weight of the heavy steel hawser fast to the sub marine proved stronger than the com bined power of the three vessels and all were being dragged Bhoreward when the hawser leading to the Chey enne snapped and left the little Iro quois to battle alone with the tide that was sweeping the Milwaukee into the breakers. All of the Milwaukee's crew was saved without mishap or injury. m OF SALTS CLEANS If your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you, drink lots of water.

C Vigorous oppo sition to any form of universal service or training was expressed before the senate military committee Saturday by several speakers for tne American Union against Militarism. Physicians and physical educators, headed by Dr. James Warbasse, of New York, as sailed particularly the suggestion that physical benefit would be derived from military training in the schools, lhey were followed by a delegation of col lege men under the leadership of Max Eastman, formerly of Columbia university. The committee, which has under consideration Senator Chamberlain's universal training bill and has heard a number of army officers and others in its support, set aside three days in which to hear witnesses designed by the Union against militarism. At the outaet represnteatives of the union made it clear that they were not op posed to building up an adequate army and navy, but would direct their argu ments specifically against any proposal for universal Bervice.

AN APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY When the Stomach Liver and Bowels re bel, and Refuse to perform their regular functions, Play fair, Give Nature the help required, by trying HOSTETTER'S - STOMACH BITTERS Agricultural Expert of Virginia Pays Remarkable Compliment. A remarkable compliment was re cently paid the Northwest apple in an address delivered before the Virginia Statd Horticultural society at Roan oke. The speaker was one of the best-known fruit experts of the South, F. H. LaBaume, agricultural and in dustrial agent of the Norfolk & West ern Railway company, and in his ad dress he outlined the marketing and advertising campaigns conducted for the apples of the Pacific Northwest, and plainly told Virginia applemen that these Northwest apples were the finest offered in the American market. The address has been circulated throughout the South, and is from be ginning to end a remarkable tribute to the marketing organization and to the Quality of Northwes apples. Mr. LaBaume said in part: "The western growers of both decid uous and citrus fruits lave far sur passed the eastern growers in the ef ficient grading, packing and standard ization of their fruit, in the systematic marketing of same and in the attrac tive advertising of thei1 products to the general public. Our eastern grow ers are going to continue to be serious- y handicapped in the world s markets unless they adopt the same methods that have brought success the grow ers In other districts. "While I believe that our Virginia growers have accomplished wonderful results in the better production, se lection and standard packing of their fruits within the past few years, nev ertheless, it is a recognized fact that we do have growers who slight their pack and as a consequence give our eastern growers and their apples an exceedingly bad reputation on many markets. I, myself, within the past few years have purchased apples from one of the leading growers of Virginia in boxes labeled 'Extra Fancy,' paying $3 per box therefor, and on opening them found under a good top row wormy, speckled ana otherwise blem ished apples that should not be used by any honest grower in filling out any standard pack. It would be folly. indeed, to spend money In advertising Virginia apples until some system has been worked out whereby all the ap pies advertised under a trade name shall be subject to inspection by rep resentatives of the marketing ex change." Price of Hay Advances. Baker, Or. Belief that there will be scarcity of hay is boosting the price this season earlier than usual. The price has advanced to $12 a ton in Pine Valley, and owners are refusing the offer because they believe it will go much higher. There was much hay put up for this winter, because of the shortage last winter, but the early snowfall caused cattle men to believe that the cold spell will be long er than usual. This is causing the hay demand by cattle men and the holding for top prices by owners of hay. Decline In Egg Prices Checked. The decline In the egg market has been checked for the time being, as Is usually the case when pr'.ces start downward after the holidays. The general price quoted on the street was 34 cents, and although receipts were fairly liberal dealers had no difficulty in cleaning up at this price. The but ter market was steady and unchanged Poultry continued to sell at top prices but the demand was not as keen as last week, and an easing off in the market Is expected.

The late Judge Pennypacker of Phil adelphia was an advocate of the en franchisement of women, but he also advocated justice, in the relationship between the sexes, for man. "Woman," he said, whimsically, one day at the Pennsylvania Historical Society, "mustn't play it both ways. She mustn't get the vote and the equal wage through man's sense of equity, and then get all kinds of unfair privi lege through his sense of gallantry. "There's a lot of truth in the story of the young broker who, after his failure, was thrown over by a pretty girl. " 'Why was the engagement broken off?" a banker asked the ruined bro ker. "'Well,' he answered, 'after I'd giv en her a string of pearls, an opera box and a birthday gift of a 12-cylinder limousine I went to smash and her people accused me of amusing myself at her expense.'
