Holmes, however, slipped into the lavatory and from his hiding place witnessed the stripping o f clothes from the prisoners. The party was then marshaled down the track, escorted by a firing squad. As Holmes slipped from the car and ran in the direction o f Chihuahua City, he declared, he heard shrieks, fo l lowed by a volley o f rifle shots. Progressives to Meet in Chicago On Same Day as Republicans Chicago— The Progressive party will hold its National convention on June 7 in Chicago, concurrently with the National convention of the Republican party, in the hope that both agree on the same candidate for president. This action was decided on by the National committee o f the Progressive party. Forty-seven o f the 48 states were represented at the meeting. Before adjourning the committee adopted a declaration of principles, in which the administration o f President Wilson was criticised for its failure to deal adequately with National honor and industrial welfare, and the Pro gressive party went on record as fa voring a complete preparedness con sisting of m ilitary armament, as well as mobilization o f all the country's re sources. Electric Hand Devised. Berlin— A fte r yearn o f experiment, Director Klingenberg, of the General Electric Co., has announced the per fection o f an electro-magnetic hand, with which it is possbile to grasp even the heaviest metal objects and work with them as advantageously as with human hands. Dr. Klingenberg hae evolved and unusually powerful bat tery, which can be carried by the operator, making it unnecessary for him to be near the current. The in vention can perform all the functions o f the human hand and others besides. Visitors Not Welcomed. Washington, D. C .— Germany’s new passport requirements. Count von Bem storff Wednesday informed the State department, provide that Am eri cans must produce their birth certifi cates or naturalization papers in ap plying for a vise o f their passports by German agents. German officials w ill vise passports, Count von Bem storff said, for travel to Germany only when such tripe are unobjectionable and necessary and the business contemplated cannot well be conducted by correspondence. Fish Market Short. Tacoma— Fresh halibut is reported scarce on the local market. Dealers, however, expect regualr shipments to begin and keep up after a week or so. Receipts are far below the demand and the fish is going at 9c to 11c a pound. What is being received is of excellent quality. The shortage is attributed directly to the fact that fishermen laid off work during the holi days and after that the weather was too stormy to permit them to make any reasonable catches. Salmon also is reported scarce, with not enough being obtained to accom modate the trade. Steelheads and Alaska kings are the only varieties received. The steelheads are being caught in the Columbia and other Northwest rivers, in the Grays Harbor and Puget Sound districts. The kings come from Alaska. Butter remains at the advanced prices and is very firm, say jobbers, at 33(((34c a pound. N o change either way is expected for some time. Prac tically no Oregon butter is being re ceived, but what little does come in is moving out at 32c a pound. Ranch eggs are a bit easier, dealers setting prices down at 34(u 36c a dozen to encourage sales, they say. The local produce market shows no change. The boards are well supplied and dealers are doing a good business. TWELVE DIE EROM DRINKING WOOD ALCOHOL IN “ DRY" WASHINGTON Seattle, Wash.— Charged with sell ing a quantity o f wood alcohol, which has resulted in the death o f several men since January 1, T. Takana, a Japanese, 38 years old, manager o f a drugstore at 602 Sixth avenue South, was arrested here. Detectives Yoris and Waechter say they saw the sale by Takana o f tw o pint bottles o f the poi son. A specific charge o f manslaugh ter w ill be preferred against the drag- gist by the prosecuting attorney’s office. The pharmacy operated by Takana, according to detectives, has been made the base o f supply since the dry law went into effect, January 1, for a num ber o f bootleggers, some o f whom, it is alleged, operated under the direc tion of the Japanese.

In view of the deadly inroads of grippe and pneumonia and the warn ings in this connection Issued by the publio health authorities, a word ad dressed especially to the strong and well may not be amiss. Though seem tngly remarkable, it la a perfectly logi cal fact that both grippe and pneu monia find their greatest number of victims among persons who are in normal health. The latter disease, in fact, seems rather partial to excep tionally robust persons, and. in every day parlance, the stouter they are the easier they fall. The reason for this Is simple. Frail persons are accus tomed to tako extra care of them selves In the knowledge of their weak ness and liability to sickness, and thus escape some of the Ills that overtake the stronger ones. The robust ones, especially th « man who "n ever had a sick day in his life," come to regard their health as being immune from at tack and so expose themselves reck lessiy. Also they are Inclined to In difference after having contracted a cold or even more eerloua affection, relying on their usually rugged health to pull them through.— Pittsburg Ua zette Times.

One does not often envy millionaires —the galling of their golden chains is too evident in their faces— but one recent exception stand* out. Three days before Christmas the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings was closed by the state officials, and among its deposi tors were over 41.000 school children who had about four dollars apiece to their credit. The bank had had an arrangement with the board of educa tion by which coliectora visited the schools every week and got the chil dren’s pennies. When the bank closed all the children had for their pains was the chance of a 50 per cent divi dend some two months later. But Henry C. Frick came forward that same day and said briefly that the kids were to have all their money at once. So the storm passed by for those young depositors and their faith in men was justified. Mr. Frick has a stately and expensive house on Fifth Avenue filled with works of art from many lands, but we doubt if there is anything In it more cheering to the aoul than the memory of that abrupt kindness.
