V ' ff v.:.; !£f^' •w •*" Washington, June 3,---President Wil­ son expressed himself freely on bust ¥. ,' Mis: S#'. *iV m ' ness conditions and also with regard to the Clayton anti-trust bill on Mon­ day. He told ht$ callers hevdoes not be- liere there It any depression in gen- oral business in the United States, "' hut that -whatever depression exists radiates fro mrailroad offices and re­ lated industries, including the Bteel business, and that the ordinary buy­ ing and selling of'the nation has not been affected. The railroad depres­ sion has exercised a great influence on the country, and has affected the credit market he does not doubt. There is a world-wide depression in business, according to reports that come to him, and the United States Is hot suffering from it nearly so much as other nations, he believes. ' The president points to statements from President Farrell of the United States Steel corporation, and Elbert H. Gary that the outlook in the steel Industry is excellent. He does not believe that the tariff has had any­ thing to do with existing business con­ ditions, and Secretary of Commerce Redfield recently reported to him that the exports of the country were in­ creasing more rapidly than the im­ ports. In view of these facta the presi­ dent is inclined to hold to his recent­ ly published statement that the exist­ ing depression is "psychological," and that if business men believed that prosperity were coming and acted on this belief, it wotild come with a jump. > The president also told his callers (hat the labor organizations of the na­ tion do not gain anything from the Clayton anti-trust bill except assur­ ance that their mere existence is not contrary to the Sherman anti-trust Jaw. Hfe declared that the labor •clause of„the Clayton bill is inconsist­ ent with the attitude he took in sign­ ing the sundry civil bill last year when "he stated that nothing in the measure ahould be construed as limiting the right of the department of justice .to prosecute labor organizations that, transgressed the law. LABOR UNION FCOT A TRUST Organizations Legal, But Members Liable for Any Act in Restraint of Trade, House Votes. Washington, June 3.--Without a dis­ senting vote the 207 members of the house present wrote into the Clayton anti-truBt bill a provision exempt­ ing labor and farmer organizations from prosecution under the Sher­ man law or other trust litigations as conspiracies in restraint of trade, but holding members of such organiza­ tions liable for acts which are ad­ judged in restraint of trade. The amendment adopted provides: '*Kor shall such organization, order, Association, or the members thereof, "be held or construed to b€S illegal com­ binations or conspiracies in restraint •of trade under the anti-trust law." The house rejected a proposed Amendment granting similar exemp­ tion to farmers' organizations formed for the purpose of community buying and selling. The amendment was of­ fered by Representative Nelson ,ot 'Wisconsin. QUITS WINTERS' CASE Detective Says He Is Through Unless 8pecial Prosecutor Is Named-- Accused Are Freed.

">'•'); Newcastle, Ind., June 2.--Receipt of a telegram here Saturday from Find- lay, O., aroused hope that Catherine Winters, who has been missing since March 20, 1913, had been found and threw a shadow of uncertainty over the proceedings againnt her father and stepmother, who were arrested Satur­ day in connection with her disappear­ ance. The telegram was from Judge H. O. Dorsey, who told Prosecuting Attor­ ney Myers that a girl answering Cath­ erine's description was living with a family named Pratt in that city. An investigation of the report will be made today. Despite these rumors authorities are proceeding in their quest for the body of the missing girl, the daughter of Dr. W. A. Winters. A search for the body will be started in a lonely swamp fin a farm four miles west of this city. A year ago th® owner of the farm fonnd a shovel lying beside a mound of newly turned earth. He took the shovel to his home and forgot the'in* cident The scene, was recalled vividly to his mind when he read the story of the search of the home of Doctor Win­ ters for trace of the missing girl. He had been told that many people no longer believed that the girl had been kidnaped, but feared that she had been murdered. The farmer reported finding the shovel to Robert H. Abel, a private de- tectite, whg has been conducting a search for the body of the girl, and plana were arranged by Mr. Abel and Mayor Watkins to search in the swamp. The shovel bore the mark of the Big Four railroad, for which W. R. Cooper, who has been arrested on a charge of conspiracy to, commit a felony in connection with Catherine's disappearance, formerly worked a* a telegraph operator. Doctor Winters and his wife, who were released on bonds after they had been charged with conspiring to com­ mit a felony, were taken into custody again Monday, according to a state­ ment of William R. Myers, the prose­ cuting attorney for Henry county.- NINE PERSONS ARE DROWNED Three Persons at Different Places Sacrifice Lives That Others . ^ Might Live.

Mexico dity, June 2.--War Minister Blanquet reports an attempt on Sun­ day to land American marines from the cruiser Albany at Puerto Arista, state of Oaxaca. Owing to a heavy sea the boats were swamped and several mariada drowned. Others were rescued by Mexicans and sent in custody to 3a- lina Cruz, where they were released and delivered to the commander of the Albany. It is understood Mexico has cabled the mediators at Niagara Falls a pro­ posal which it is thought should he acceptable, and which, if accepted, would settle the entire question at Issue. Washington, June t.~Constitution­ alist authorities promptly quelled an incipient anti-American demonstration by intoxicated peons at Tampico, says a report made by Rear Admiral Bad­ ger to the navy department A flat-footed refusal to grant th* United States government's insistent request for Carranza representation in the Mexican peace conference at Ni­ agara Falls'"has been given to the American representatives there by the South American mediators. Unless the mediators rescind their refusal it is believed in Washington the mediation conference will fall of success. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan received reports of the situa­ tion from Justice Lamar and Fred­ erick W. Lehmann, the American dele­ gates at Niagara Falls, but refused to indicate the contents. At the last session of the mediators and the American delegates, It is learned from a high official source, the mediators declared with vigor that delay in the proceedings would not be tolerated. The American#, however, brought about a postpone­ ment of a final decision on the Car­ ranza request until today. Messrs. Lamar and Lehmann insist­ ed that the mediators comply with the request of Carranza for representation In the remainder of the proceedings. The mediator's flat refusal was re­ turned on the ground that the only effect would be to delay the proceed­ ings and give the Constitutionalists more time in which to operate and, through the possible overthrow of President Huerta, make the mediation farcical. At the same time the United States was accused of bad faith in insisting on Carranza representation after al­ lowing the proceedings to develop to the point of virtual agreement on a new provisional government for Mexi­ co without such representation. The American delegates' rejoinder was that the internal problem of Mex­ ico Bhould not be solved without the Constitutionalists being represent^, now that it was known definitely that General Carranza desired to be repre­ sented. Word reached Washington that the fi*es assessed at Vera Cruz against the German steamer Ypiranga under Captain Stickney's Interpretation oi the Mexican navigation laws amount­ ed to about nine hundred thousand pesos. It was reported the Ypiranga's cargo of munitions of war for Huerta, billed to Vera Cruz, but landed at Puerto Mexico, consisted of not less than 15,000,000 rounds of ammunition, 250 machine guns and other war ma­ terial. Niagara Falls, June 2.--Mexican peace negotiations are 111 a Btate of suspended animation. The action of Carranza in making what is inter- preated as an appeal for Constitution­ alist representation in the conference has produced an awkward situation* which will be discussed by the me­ diators and American delegates. DENIES "LUDLOW MASSACRE' "Nobody Killed or Burned," Colorado Judge-Advocate of Colorado Dis­ trict Testifies. New York, May 30.--Edward J Boughton, judge-advocate of the mili­ tary district of Colorado, testifying b® fore the federal commission on indus­ trial relations on Thursday, said that "statements to the effect that women and children were shot in Ludlow are not true."

President Wilson is the first "bare­ faced" occupant of the White House since President McKlnley. Indeed, these have been the only smooth­ faced presidents since the Civil war. The faces of the most conspicuous members of the cabinet are whisker- less, as is the mobile countenance of the speaker of the house. The sen­ sible fashion is especially noticeable in the medical profession, owing to the fact that formerly its members re­ garded whiskers as an Indispensable part of their equipment, on a par with the stethoscope and clinical thermom­ eter and odor of carbolic acid. The idea then was, of course, to look old. Now they try to appear young. Other business and professional men are fol­ lowing the example of the doctors, much to the gratification of the bar­ bers and razor manufacturers. It is not likely that we shall soon again see the day when whiskers cover a multi­ tude of chins. Against Advertising! "Why don't you advertise?" asked the editor of the home paper. "Don't you believe in advertising?" "I'm agin' advertising," replied the proprietor of the Hayvtlle Racket store. "But why are you against it?" asked the editor. "It keeps a feller too durn busy," replied the proprietor. *'I advertised in a newspaper one time about ten years ago, and I never even got time to go Ashing." Little Danger. "Do you believe that taton&r Ium germs on it?" "It may have." "What in the world shall we do?" "Don't worry; it would take a mighty active germ to hop from the money to you during the short time you keep what you get." An Interesting and successful Ameri­ can farmer, Lew Palmer, of Staveley, Alta., passed through the elty today. Mr. Palmer came from Dubith, Minn., just ten years ago, and brought with • him four cows and three hprses--and that was his all. He homesteaded In the Staveley district, and today has 480 acres of land, $3,000 worth of im­ plements, 34 Percheron horses, made $1,000 out of hogs last year, raised 7,000 bushels of wheat, 6,000 bushels of oats, 12 acres of potatoes, and 18 tons of onions. His farm and stock is worth $30,000, and he made it all in ten years.--Exchange.--Advertisement PREFER THE YELLOW PEARL Eastern People Believe That Colored Asm la More Valuable Than the Pure White. Most peoples have placed the lus­ trous white pearl above all others. The Chinese, however, together with other eastern peoples, prefer the yel­ low pearl, believing that it preserves both its luster and color longer than the white. This pearl is said to owe its yellow tint to the fact that the oysters have been allowed to die and putrefy in their shells, the shells opening of themselves on the death of the oyster. This custom has been ascribed to the fact that the pearl generally lies cljose to the edge of the shell, and It Is feared that many fine pearls would be spoiled if the process of opening the shell with a knife were practised. Black pearls are very much valued. The famous necklace of black pearls belonging to the Empress Eugenie was sold, for $25,000. Pink pearls are much desired among the Buddhists, who use them profuse­ ly in the adorning of their temples. The inhabitants of Chipanga are wont to place a pink pearl in the mouth of a dead relative or friend before cre­ mation of the body. The story of Cleopatra's pearl is well known. To match this there may be cited the tale told of Sir Thomas Gresham, the millionaire merchant of Queen Elizabeth's time, it appears that the Spanish ambassador had the bad taste, in the presence of Elizabeth, to extol the riches of his sovereign. To shame the foreigner the mer­ chant remarked that Elizabeth had subjects who at one meal would ex­ pend a sum equal to the daily rev­ enues of the king of Spain and all his grandees. Not long afterward the ambassador was invited to dine with the English knight, who at dinner drew from his pocket a pearl for which he had pre­ viously refused $75,000. He ground It to powder and drank It in a glass of wine-to the health of the queen, thus rebuking the Spanish boaster. Cubist Art "What are you painting from a soap box?" "I am using a soap box as a model," answered the cubist with dignity, "but the subject of the painting is a young girl standing by a brook." Girls, If a young man doesn't know how to make love, it is neither ardu­ ous nor unpleasant to teach him. Chicago in 1913 handled more than 337.288,000 bushels of grain. Good Cause for Alarm Deaths from kidney diseases have In­ creased 72% in twenty years. People over­ do nowadays in soraany ways that the con­ stant Altering of poisoned blood weakens tho kidneys. Beware of fatal Bright's disease. When backache or urinary Ills suggest weak kidneys, use Doan's Kidney Pills, drink water freely and reduce the diet. Avoid coffee, tea and liquor.

Canadian Government Acent EFFIENCY OH A FIREFLY Artificial lllumlnant Very Poor Second to That of the Natural Organisms. It is sometimes 9aid that if we could arrive at the secret of the firefly--or of the other organisms which produce physiologic light--we should have reached a great ecdtiomic discovery, because the light has such an extror- dinary high efficiency. In other words, all the energy expended in producing it goes to make light, and not heat. The'efflciency has been estimated at 96 per cent by Ives and Coblentz, and even higher by Langley and Very. This is the more remarkable when it is considered that the best artificial lllumlnant has a luminous efficiency of only 4 per cent, and most of them reach only about 1 per cent, the re* maining 99 per cent of the energy go­ ing to produce heat or other subordi­ nate effects. But even if we should discover the means by which the fire­ fly produces its lights we should scarcely care to use it in our homes. Professor McDermott in a recent study of the subject observes that while the insect has indeed reached the highest possible radiant efficiency it has only accomplished at at a sacrifice of color that makes the light much worse than the mercury vapor arc. Anything not within a very limited range of yellow and green tones would appear black. * Rather Personal. One day two farm laborers were'dis­ cussing the wiseness of the present generation.
