Washington, Oct. 2. Postmaster General Burleson was considering today the wisdom of including in his next an nual report a recommendation for gov ernment ownership of all telegraph and telephone lines. The idea is in line with former Postmaster-General Hitch cock's suggestion. Congressman Lewis, of Maryland an expert on problems of transporta tion and interstate commerce, admitted that the government is studying the government ownership plan, as applied to telegraphs and telephones. Irrespective of Burleson's decision Lewis will introduce a bill soon pro- riding for the acquisition by the gov ernment of the country's communica tion systems. He had gathered much data in Europe, whore the government ownership plan generally prevails, and favors the system prevailing in Ger many and Holland, which, while own ing the communication lines, places their operation under the control of the various states. In Austria, Lewis pointed out today, a thred-minute conversation by tele phone can be carried on between points 700 miles apart for 60 cents, which in the United States would cost 4.20. GET HIS MONEY BACK The state emergency board this af ternoon voted to create a deficiency of (1456.96 to reimburse Governor West for money expended in his vice crusade after the regular appropriation had been exhausted. State Treasurer Kay was the only member who voted against the plan, lie declared that it sounded the death i;nell of tlio emergency law. Ho said there was nothing to now prevent any officer from following the same tactics as the governor. McArthur explained he did not want to haggle over it and did not want it considered a present. Senator Perkins and Representative Abbott were both sore because the board had voted at its last meeting to aid the governor in his crusade and so they decided to line up and let those who wanted to do so, eat crow. Mularkoy wub absent. TARIFF BILL MAY IGHT (UKITHD PUB SB 1X1BED Willi. Washington, Oct. 2. "I expect the tariff bill to go to the president not Inter than Friday, and it may go to night," said Senator Simmons today, " do not look for opposition to the measures' passage." Despite SimmoiiB' confidonco, other senators said they did not believe the bill would pass the national upper house before Saturday aftornoon or evening. In the meantime the sonate was con sidering compromise on the clauses of the bill concerning which disagreements cxint between tlio two housos.

ANOTHER JAP SCARE. Iukitid miss IJuaiD wiss j Washington, Oct. 2. If it Is a fact that a noto is on its way from Japan asking for a new treaty with the Unit ed Stntos, granting to Japanese the privileges denied them under tho Cali fornia antl alien land law, and point ing out that treaties tnko precedence over state laws, it was admitted at the state department that another acute diplomatic situation Is near. It may, in fact, it was said, be necessary for the administration to tell the Mikado Ha exact position concerning the rights of Japanese in America. A poor imitation of wickedness is usually better than the real thing. WEDDiNQ SUPERSTITIONS. Curious Customs That Used to Bt 0 asrvad In England. Superstition never clustered round any episode of Ufa more than that of the wedding day, especially In olden times. Then it was customary for the bride to present her future husband with a buncb of rosemary tied up with rib bone on bis flrst appearance on the wedding morning. This was supposed to secure bis love and loyalty and to make ber happy forever. In Yorkshire the old superstition still abounds that nothing more unlucky could happen than for a newly made bride to leave the church by a different door from that by which she entered. Another quaint custom, for which there Is no known origin. Is that prac tised In some of the midland and northern counties of England. This Is to ring a merry peal of the church bells at the first rending of the banns of an Intending matrimonial couple. It Is called the "spur peul." which in old Anglo-Saxon means simply "ask." Of course It Is well known that It Is the height of luck for a bride to be to dream of fairies the night before the actual ceremony. So much was this Idea believed in that many girls would peruse fairy tales before going to sleep. London Telegraph. NO NAME FOR A POET. Millar Was Open to Conviction and Shed the Heavy Burden. "Clnclmmtus Heine" was the name that the parents of Joaquin Miller be stowed on 1)1 in at bis christening. How the poet came to adopt the name "Joaquin," under which he Is unlvcr. sally known, was told by Mr. Charles Phillips, editor of the San Francisco Monitor. Miss Ina Coolbrlth. of whom be speaks, is the California poetess who has been called the "Sappho of the west." In 1870. when be came down from Oregon and published bis drat little book of poems, entitled "Joaquin et al.," he told Miss Coolbrlth of his de termination to go to London and win fame. "How in tho world," she asked him, "do you expect to climb Parnassus with such a name as you have? Mil ler Is bad enough, but Clnciunatus Heine Is impossible!" "But what can I dor Miller asked. "It's my name, Isn't it?" "Why don't you take some name that will Identify you with Califor nia?" Miss Coolbrlth rejoined. "Take the name of your first book; call your self Joaquin." "By George. I'll do it!" sold Miller. And from that day be signed hiUDBelf "Jouquln Miller." Not Soloist. The late Theodore Thomas was re hearsing the Chicago orchestra on the stage of the Auditorium theater. He was disturbed by the whistling of Al bert Burrldge, the well known scene painter, who was at work In the loft above the stage. A few minutes later Mr. Thomas' librarian uppenred on the "brldgo" where Mr, Burrldge. merrily whistling, was at work. "Mr. Thonius' compliments," said the librarian, "and he requests me to state that If Mr. Burrldge wishes to whistle be will be glad to discontinue his re hearsal." To which Mr. Burrldge replied suave ly, "Mr. Burrldge's compliments to Mr. Thomas, anil please Inform Mr Thomas that If Mr. Burrldge cannot whistle with the orchestra be won't whistle at all."

With Neither Inl.t Nor Outlet It Has Mysterious Tide. There is a curious Swiss lake. Lake Marjelan, wblcb at regular Intervals completely disappears and does not be gin to rellll until the following winter or spring. On these occasions it emp ties Itself so rapidly that the Rhone rises several meters in a few hours and overflows its banks. But it Is not necessary to go to Switzerland in order to find a freak ish lake. There is a pond in the center of Long Island, ut the present end of the Motor parkway, called Lake Ron- konkoma. It has neither inlet nor out let aud Ilea at the foot of the bills that form the backbone of Long Island. Bound Its shores are many pretty sum mer homes. The trees about It are much larger and more beautiful than elsewhere on Long Island. The waters of the hike are very clear and cold. In some places it seems bottomless. The strange thing about Lake Ron konkomu Is that It has a tide; not a tide like the ocean that rises and falls every twelve hours, but one thnt takes seveD years to rise and seven more to full. Tbe difference between high wa ter and low water mark Is between thirty and forty feet Many scientific men have studied tbe curious phe nomenon, but no one has found out what causes this mysterious tide. Nei ther long continued rains nor severe droughts affect the quantity of water in the lake. The Indians used to hold the lake in great awe, and few dared to cross it In a canoe. There is a legend of one brave who, while fishing, was drown ed Id the lake. His body was found six months afterward nearly ten miles away In Long Island sound. Youth's Companion. HIS BACKING WAS GOOD. And President Tyler Found a Place For Old Jaok Dade. President Tyler hod a curious ofllce seeking experience at tbe very begin ning of bis administration. Old Jack Dade, a character about Washington, who had been the president's class mate at college, went to the White House, and said be, "Jack, I want an office." "Yon do?" said President Tyler. "What ofllce on earth do you think you are fit for?' "Why, one o these 'sineenrees' 1 hear so much about no work and good pay," Dade promptly replied. "Well, Jnck." said Tyler deprecating, ly. "you know that 1 am president now and must have some kind of war rant for making an appointment Can you get anybody to Indorse you' Could you bring me a letter of recommenda tion?" "Oh. yes." said Dnde. "I'm fixed for thnt." and he produced a letter of four pages written by Tyler himself to President Harrison, whom he had Just succeeded, urging the claims of h s denr friend and classmate. Colonel John W. Dude, for a good, fnt office "Cust your eye over thnt!" he exclaim ed In triumph. Tyler renil tho letter attentively to the end. folded It carefully and snld: "Jnck, your backing Is Irresistible. Come up here tomorrow, and I'll have a place for you." The next day Colonel John W. Dade was appointed keeper of the Federal prison of the District of Columbla. Loulsville Courier-Journal. Appropriate Exeusa.

Big Crowd Last Night Conservatively estimating, at least 11,500 people people in tho grand stand, bleachers and on tho race track at the fair grounds last night witnessed the fireworks, and the special attractions which took place in front of tho grand stand. A veritable bch of faces were illuminated when the Los Angeles Fireworks Company's bright rockets and mortars threw out their rays. It was generally conceded last night by people who have attended the state fair for the last 20 yearB that tho grand stand has never beforo received such a patronage as it did last night. Every seat in the spacious building was taken, the bleachers full to overflowing and a thousand people took up positions of observation on tho raco track and in the center of tho circle. Owing to tho fact that Mr, Wilson, mnnngcr of tho fireworks company, is 111 at tho present time, and unable to Bo on duty, the displny lost night was somewhat lacking in tho now features.

In the case of Madame Schumann Iloink, art and personality contribute nearly as much aB the glorious voice toward making her the most popular figure in the musical circles of the country. Power to instill verctnion for high art into the minds of the most ex acting critics, she has no less power in arousing tho wonder and enthusiasm of the plainer people, who love art but are unable to describe its technique. The masses who turn out to hear the great contralto regard her with the same awe with which they view a copy of Ra phael's Madonna; they know tho pic ture is wonderful, but they are unable to tell why. Just, tho samo they real ize that whon Madame Schitmnnn Hcink sings, their hearts nre touched, and they go home desiring to be better men and women after having heard her. Year after year, the Schumann-ITeink concert audiences continue to hail her with tho welcome that bespeaks love and loyalty. Tho reanon for this un broken popularity is not hard to ex plain. Schumann-Heink sings every school of songs and arias ever written. The marvelous range of her voice and its color enables her to vary her pro grams without effort. Moreover, Mad ame Schumann-TTcink delights in sing ing English, and she is known for her generosity to the American song com posers. Many chapters have been published in hooks about the career of this won derful artist. As a Wagnerian interpre ter sho is without a rival. No sinner of tho times has ever surpassed her Im personations of such roles as Ortnul, Erda and Fricka; but, Wagner is not all; as Dides in "The Prophet," as Delilah and as Ar.ncena, she has com hnnded tho enthusiastic tributes from opera goers all over the world. A queen of tragedy, Madame Schumann-Heink is no Icrs wonderful when sho essays the field of comedy. Her Dame Quickly, in "Tho Merry Wive&of Windsor," re mains one, of the memorable operatic portraits to opera subscribers in New York. PLAYS AT GRAND TONIGHT.
