BEEF TRUST DECISION NOT TO
BE REPORTED
PRESIDENT AFTER HUMPHREY
Sends Message to Congress on Sub
jeet— New Law Badly Needed— No
Criticism Attached to Commission
er Garfield
Monday April 23
Washington — President Roosevelt
and members of his cabinet devoted
the greater part of their semi-weekly
session to a discussion of the calam
Ity which has befallen San Francisco
The matter was taken up immediate-
ly after the session convened and it
was decided that Secretary Metcalf
who is a resident of Oakland Cal
should proceed to the stricken city at
once as a representative of the na-
tional government
Secretary Metcalf will leave for
San Francisco It will be his effort
to consult with the governor of Cali-
fornia and the municipal authorities
of San Francisco and to advise the
national administration what if any-
' thing may be done to alleviate the
distress there
The statehood proposition is Btlll in
the air The chances are against the
admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as a single state at this ses-
sion The conferees are still meeting
almost daily but there is little pros-
pect of their agreement on a basis that
will admit Oklahoma as a state The
blame can not help but fall in the
end if there be no statehood upon
the five members from Kansas and the
five from Missouri who would have
made a sufficient number with the
“insurgents” so-called and the Demo-
crats to have defeated the rule to
send the bill to conference as It pass-
ed the senate and to have accepted
the senate amendments which struck
cut reference to Arizona and New
Mexico If Campbell Murdock Cur-
tis Miller and Bowersock had joined
with five Missourians the matter
would have been settled and Oklaho-
ma admitted or else- checked up
square to “Uncle Joe" Cannon the
speaker and the pressure would have
been so great he would have had to
yield in the end or bear the entire
brunt of the failure of the legislation
As it is now the chances are that the
blame must lie on the shoulders of
the whole house — 386 men instead of
upon one man the speaker
Saturday April 21
Washington— In a special message
delivered to the congress President
Roosevelt declares that the result of
the recent trial of the “beef packers
in Chicago was a “miscarriage of jus-
tice” and that the interpretation plac-
ed by Judge Humphrey on the will of
congress "is such as to make that will
absolutely abortive"
The message which is most sensa-
tional in character is based largely on
a letter to the president from Attor-
ney General Moody in which the at-
torney general reviews the proceed-
ings of the case of the government
against the beef packers
The president says it is clear that
no criticism attaches to Commission-
er Garfield as what he did was in pur-
suance of a duty imposed on him by
congress He refers sharply however
to the decision of Judge Humphrey
saying that congress could not have
foreseen such a decision and that he
can hardly believe that the ruling of
Judge Humphrey will be followed by
other judges He dec1aredthatjuch
Interpretation of the law as that plac-
ed on It by Judge Humphrey "comes
measureably near making the law a
farce" and he recommends that con-
gress pass a declaratory act stating
its real Intention The president also
requests congress to confer upon the
government by statute the same right
of appeal in criminal cases which the
defendant now enjoys where the mer-
its of the case have not been deter-
mined A bill for the diversion of water
from the Sacramento river California
for Irrigation purposes was passed
Mr Clark of Missouri favored the
bill “If the roseate predictions of its
most enthus’astic advocates are ful-
filled" he said "we will witness a
veritable Aladdin’s lamp working its
myriad wonders before our eyes in
this prosaic age If even half of them
are realized we will see a revolution
in lighting heating and motor power
The bill was passed 224 to 7
AN ADVENTUROUS CLIMB FOR
THE BOUCIER PEAK
SURFACE ROCKS ARE MEVNG
EARTHQUAKE IS AS SIMPLE AS
BREAKING TIMBER
Chicago April 21 — Professor J
Paul Goods of the University of Chi-
cago says:
An earthquake is as simple as the
breaking of a timber I believe that
the seat of the disturbance at San
Francisco was about seven miles be-
low the surface of the earth It was
quite probably a slipping of the crust
of the earth Generally one block of
the crust slips up while the other slips
down The focus of the disturbance
may not be noted by the direcion of
the cracks In the wrecked city The
Sierra mountains are young and grow-
ing slowly and no doubt their growing
was the cause of the earthquake"
Washington — The possible relation
of the earthquake in 'San Francisco
to the eruption of Vesuvius formed
the subject of discussion among sci-
entists in this city
None of them were willing to ad-
vance any argument which would tend
to connect one with the other In
fact the officials of the geological sur-
vey declared that there was no rela-
tionship whatever both being local
Prof Hayes director of geology of the
geological survey said:
'The San Francisco disturbances are
due to the slipping of the surface
rocks to adjust themselves to changed
conditions inside the earth They
have-mo relationship whatever to the
eruption of Vesuvius The interior of
the earth is in a molten state except
in the region of the volcanoes1 but if
you go down a distance of sixty or
seventy miles the rocks are practi-
cally in a fluid state from the immense
pressure on top of them They act like
liquid and they adjust themselves to
changed conditions But when you
come nearer the surface where the
strata are hard and brittle the slip-
ping of a part of the earth’s crust along
the line of a fault will give you just
the conditions that attended the at-
tack in San Francisco The old earth
take it as a whole is a very uneasy
body and is la a state of constantly
changing equilibrium When the foun-
dations dip down there has to be an
adjustment of the surface like the
breaking up of ice on a river and a
re-adjustment of the blocks to each
other This is evidently what has hap-
pened on the Pacific coast”
Trio Sent Out 'from Headquarters of

of Dome — Suspended
in the Air
From a height of 13000 feet above
the sea level amid the Italian Alps
the Boucler peak looks down
Its crest has never yet been trod-
den by the foot of any human being
The finest climbers have attempted in
vain to reach its summit for the last
200 yards of the mountain rise like a
dome' There is not the slightest hand
or foothold to assist the mountaineer
Notwithstanding these difficulties
about a month ago Lleuts Menotti
and Roissard of the Italian Alpine
regiment and Mr Walter Vollman
determined to scale the Boucler peak
The officers and men of the Alpine
regiment practically live among the

Their Hard Struggle Made Easier-Interesting State

All women workj tome In their
tomes some in church and some in
the whirl of society And in stores
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill earning

All are subject to the same physical
laws all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance and the nature of
their duties in many cases quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints tumors

How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching she is so
tired Bhe can hardly drag about or
stand up and every movement causes
pain the origin of which is due to
some derangement of the female or-
ganism Miss F Orser of 14 Warrenton Street

suffering she writes :

ASK FOR COOKED SUPPLIES
San Francisco April 23 — The fol-
lowing message was received:
“The merchants’ association of New
York sends its sympathy for the
stricken people and will render as-
sisance on any lines desired Advise
by wire any suggestion as to any man-
ner in which we can serve you Our

chants’ association of San Francisco
sent the following:
“Full appreciation of your sympa-
thy and offers of service Probably
100000 homeless with banks supply
houses and hotels destroyed Food
supplies not requiring cooking most

“President Merchants’ Assoclatioi
fldent that they would vanquish tin
hitherto unconquered peak
Setting out from Torre Pellice the
headquarters of their regiment the two
lieutenants and their companion be-
gan their adventurous climb
The task proved harder than they
anticipated
Steeper and steeper frowned the
heights above them They were as-
cending from the south side of the
mountain which is its most dangerous
approach
Precipices yawned beneath the dar-
ing mountaineers Now there was
need of all their coolness and Iron
nerve A single false step would
launch them into eternity!
At last after eight hours’ climb the
three men arrived at the foot of the
dome Fatigued by their exertions
they rested and then roped themselves
together
Mr Vollman leading followed first
by Lieut Menotti and then by Lieut
Roissard the trio scaled a slope over-
hanging a gaping chasm
They were now so cramped that no
two of them could have held a third
had be fallen Four times In this
perilous position did Mr Vollman
attempt to pass a spot 150 yards from
the summit and four' times he failed
The trio then returned to the foot
of the dome
“Let us make one more effort said
Lieut Roissard
Accordingly they climbed to the
spot they had recently descended from
—a little ledge on which a goat could
scarcely have stood Suddenly Mr
Vollman the leader slipped and fell
Panic gripped his companions
Then like a flash Lieut Menotti
bracing himself against the mountain
side caught hold of the rope between
himself and the falling man and held
him thus -
Mr Vollmann had been stunned by
the fall The strain on Lieut Men-
otti was frightful but being a strong
man he sustained his companion s
weight and dragged him back to the
ledge The three men eventually
reached Torre Pellice In safety
In all the records of Alpine climb-
ing perhaps no party of climbers has
ever been in quite such a desperate
position as Lieut Menotti and his
friends were and they are to be con-
gratulated on their escape
