Keep Blondes Cool
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 30.—It's easy t
keep cool and not mind the heat if you
know how. Here are some official hints
from Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant sur
geon, general of the public health serv
ice.
"Being cool is largely a matter of
mind. Keep still, watch what you eat
and drink, avoid meat, ventilate your
clothing as well as your home, bathe
freely and avoid extremes of heat and
cold in the waiter. Swat the fly, and
don’t get chilled at night.
'"If 3«ou are a blonde, avoid, the bright
lights; they are rich in chemical ether
waves In persons that have considera
ble pigment in their skin—in brunettes
—these short, rapid actinic waves are
transformed into long, slow heat waves.
These actinic waves have a deleterious
effect on the nervous system of those
whose skin cannot reduce their po
tency.
"Blondes sehould avoid sunlight as
muoh as possible, and when they do
go out they should wear colored
glasses; hats with orange lining, and
their clothes outside should be white,
to reflect the heat rays. Their under-
wear should be colored, preferably or
ange or blue. This Is to protect the

NEW YORK, June 30.—Judge Holt
today set aside as inadequate the verdict

yer, in his libel suit against the Inter
national Magazine company, based on
statements which appeared in the Cos
mopolitan in articles on “The Tragedies
of the Sugar Trust.”

resignation of Attorney McNab, at San
Francisco.
Congressman Schley Howard
Tips Legislature to Re
quirement of Federal Aid
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.—Con
gressman William Schley Howard
passed out tonight an important tip
for the Georgia legislator. He sug
gested that the state has been tardy
in the matter of road improvement and
declares it is highly important that the
legislators make provision immediately
for a highway commissioner in order
that Georgia’s interests may be pro
tected properly in the matter of federal
aid to road improvement.
Mr. Howard said: \
“It is desired by all advocates of fed
eral aid for public highways that all
of the states have some state officer
who can with authority co-operate with
the federal government in negotiations
for the building and maintenance of
post roads in the several states in the
union. Most of the states have a high
way commission, either appointed by
the governor of the state or elected
by the people. In this state organiza
tion, Georgia is not keeping pace with
the other states.
“I have seen with much pleasure the
introduction of a bill by Mr. Blackburn,
of Fulton, which is a step toward this
end. It is important that legislation
of this kind be passed, if Georgia is to
benefit through federal aid.
“In my judgment there is no ques
tion but that congress will provide some
means within a veryi short time to aid
the several states of the union in the
consruction of highways, and the state
could perform no greater ecnomlc serv
ice to the people of Georgia than to
create a hgihway commissioner or a
commission .empowering it to employ
several expert engineers and road con
structors for the purpose of assisting
the several counties of the state in
laying out and selecting the available
material at hand for the construction
of permanen highways.
“I sincerely trust that the Georgia
legislature will not adjourn without en
acting some law along the line I have
suggested.”

Married Persons 1 Live
Longer Than Single,
Says Chicago Doctor
CHICAGO, June 30.—Married persons
live longer than those who are single,
according to statistics gathered by Dr.
C. St. Clair Draw, of the city health de
partment. He has figured out that the
death rate of Chicago bachelors is 29
1-2 per cent higher than that of mar
ried men. The mortality rate of un
married women is 40 per cent higher
than that of married women, he says.
The bachelor rate of death in Chi
cago Is 19.8 per 1,000, while the rate
for married men is 15.3. The rate of
single women is 14.3, while that of those
who marry is only 10.3.
COL. EDWARDS DENIES
PROMISING SMITH FUND'S
(By Associated Pres..)
WEBSTER SPRINGS, W. Va_, June
30.—Pale and thin after a long; illness,
Colonel William S. Edwards, late can
didate for United States senator, was
carried Into the court room here today
on a stretcher, to testify in the trial of
State Senator Ben A. Smith, charged
with accepting a bribe in connection
with Colonel Edwards’ candidacy.
Colonel Edwards denied Smith's state
ment on the stand several days ago,
that Smith had told him he was one of
his supporters and that he had told
Smith he would be liberal with his
money. Colonel Edwards denied he had
employed detectives to buy the votes of
the legislators for him. Detectives were
employed early this year, he said, to
"discover graft or fraud and to bring
any violators of the law to justice," and
he contributed to the employment of
such detectives because he "deemed it
a public duty.”
Edwards said he authorized the trea
surer of the William Seymour Edwards
Oil company, after a conference with
prosecuting Attorney Thomas C. Town
send, to give Townsend any money the
prosecuting attorney might ask for In
his efforts to uncover graft or fraud.
SHERIFF SHIELDS DEPUTY
FROM COURT, IS CHARGE
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 30.*—Un
less J. H. Lynch, sheriff of
Tallapoosa county, can sucessfully
refute charges that he used his
official inffuence to prevent the
indictment of W. S. Prince, dep
uty sheriff, on a charge of the murder
of Leslie Plant at Tallassee, on Au
gust 16, Governor O’Neal will order
the supreme court to remove Lynch.
During conferences with Tallassee
citizens this week Governor O’Neal was
told that Lynch appointed Prince to
summon witnesses before the grand
jury In the investigation which would
determine his own responsibility for
Plant’s death. Immediately afterward
he wrote Sheriff Lynch that he had
started an investigation, and that he
'thought it “exceedingly improper that
you Should deputize a man accused of
murder to summon witnesses to be
examined on an investigation by a
grand jury to determine whether or
not your deputy had committed a crime
against the state.
Prince ^hot Plant at a store at Eaat
Tallassee, while, he claims, he was
trying to arrest him.
TRAINED NURSE SLAYS
FRIEND, THEN SELF
BEDFORD HILLS, N. Y., June 30.—
Rosalie Roque, a French Canadian, and
Catherine Lacy, her cousin, both train
ed nurses, were found dead in their
room today at a Sanitarium here. Pre
liminary investigation indicated one of
the women shot the other, then com
mitted suicide.
Howard Score Naval Program
WASHINGTON, June 30.—An attack
upon the “swivel chaired admiralty” of
the navy by Representative oHward, of
eGorgia, in a running fire debate that
preceded the passage in the house to
day of the senate bill to increase the
number of midshipmen at he naval
academy.
Mr. Howard declared that the “swivel
chaired admiralty,” composed of men
who could not command a flat bottom
batteau to say nothing of a battleship,
who would get seasick 200 yards off
shore,” were in the navy because of po
litical pull. He said he saw ho neces
sity for difficult examinations for en
trance at Annapolis.
SPITS FI AGAIN
Earthquake Does Little Dam
age, and Volcano Does Less
as Yet, But People Are
>
Stricken in Terror
ROME, June 30.—Extensive earth-
(By Associated Press.)
quake shocks occurred in the southern
part of Italy this morning, with the re
sult that exaggerated reports were cir
culated describing the disturbance as a
grave disaster, with a large number
of victims.
Official information received by the
minister of the interior tonight was
that the earthquake caused no damage
in the entire province of Catanzaro,
and was scarcely felt at Messina. Some
houses were damaged and several peo
ple, hurt, however, in the village of
Paola, San Marco and other small
places near Cosenza.
Old Vesuvius Spouting
Fire; First Since 1906
NAPLES, June 30.—For the first time
since 1906, flames were observed today
shooting up from Mount Vesuvius.
Three slight earthquakes occurred prior
to this, and the uppermost crater of
Vesuvius emitted a dense column of
smoke, which frequently showed strong
reflections of flames lower down, with
an occasional eruption of fire.
Professor Mercalli, director of the
observatory, reports that the lava
streams recently observed are becom
ing continuous. He expressed the opin
ion tonight that the seismic movement
on Mount Vesuvius had no connection
with the earthquake in the Calabria
district, and that it was due to the re
cent heavy rains filtering through
cracks in the crater.
Fear Stricken Populace
Take to Open and Caves
COSENZA, Calebria, Italy, June 30.—
The disaster in Sicily and Calabria in
1908 was brought forcibly to mind to
day by a series of earth shocks, which
appeared graver that they really were,
owing to the panic they caused. The
people were terror-stricken at the first
shock, abandoned everything and ran
screaming for mercy. They are now
camping iri the open fields or in un
derground grottoes.
Troops and a detachment of Red Cross
workers were hurriedly dispatched to
points where the greatest damage was
reported. The villages most seriously
affcted were Reggiano, Gravina, Mon-
grassano and San Benedetto.
Precious Documents
May Live for Ages By
Porf. Cobb’s Discovery
WASHINGTON, June 30.—The origi
nal copy of the Declaration of Independ
ence with its ink fading and its paper
slowly crumbling to pieces in the
archives of th^, ^tate department here,
and other similar precious documents,
may yet be preserved *to a distant pos
terity through a discovery by Prof.
Nathan A. Cobb, of the department of
agriculture.
While experimenting with the/ big
vacuum tubes, in which the department
grades of cotton, Prof. Cobb discovered
that indefinite preservation of printed
matter may be made in vacuum.
About a year ago he cut a newspaper
in two, placing half of it In one end
of a cotton tube, which was pumped
until it was an absolute vacuum and
wrapping the other half around the out-
was storing samples of the various
side end of the tube. For six months
it was left lying in a dark closet at
the department. Then Prof. Cobb took
it 1 with him to Virginia and suspended
it in the sun light in an attic window.
The paper on the outsde is a deep yel- u
low and the ink also shows the effects
of light and air, while the paper on the
inside is still white; no change that
can be discovered having taken place
in it.
Says Sheriff Spends
Only 13 Cents a Day
tor Every Prisoner
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 30.—
Sheriff Horace Hood spends thirteen
and one-half cents a day for feeding
each prisoner in the Montgomery coun
ty* jail, collects thirty cents a day
from the state, and makes a clear profit
on each prisoner, according to the
statement of W. H. Oates, state prison
inspector, in a report submitted to
Governor O’Neal Saturday.
Inspector Oates criticised the system
at the jail, and declared that there was
indifference and ignorance as to the
cooking, said the kitchen was unclean
and insanitary, and asserted that much
of the bedding is unclean.
“To review the situation briefly,
there seems to be an utter lack of sys
tem and management, indifference,
carelessness and negligence on every
side, all of which, in my opinion, is
due to inadequate, incompetent help,”
said Dr. Oates.
ENGINEER PLEADS FOR
CUSTODY OF DAUGHTER
MACON, Ga., June 30.—In the super
ior court today, Wm. Herring, a Central
of Georgia engineer and his former
wife, Mrs. Hattie L. Aaley, each asked
for the custody of their thirteen year
old daughter, Annie May.
The case was brought into court on a
petition brought by Mrs. Raley against
Herring, requiring him to show cause
why he should not pay $65 in arrears on
monthly payments required of him by
a decree of court for the support of his
daughter. r
The girl went on the stand and testi
fied that she was kindly treated by Raley
and that she wanted to live with her
mother. She will enter the high school
next year.
BALDWIN SUPERIOR
COURT ON JULY 14
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., June 30.—
Baldwin county superior court will con
vene here July 14, but few cases of con
sequence are scheduled to be tried. An
effort is being made to have the term
postponed until some later date, but
this may not be done. Those agitating
the question state that farmers are too
busy and late with their crops to stop
a week for court, especially when there
is little to be done in the way of trying
important cases.
ETHER PEOPLE OR BANKS MUST!
CONTROL CURRENCY OF NATION;
PRESIDENT PREFERS THE PEOPLE
By RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 30.—The back
bone or keel upon which President Wil
son relies to hold his proposed currency
legislation together and cause it to do
the work it is designed to do, is in hav
ing the central board free from con
trol of professional bankers. The de
sign ©f the legislation is to take away
the countrol of credits in the United
States from a small and close circle.
The president does not say he has de
cided finally not to have any bankers
on that board.. But he does believe
they are not necessary, and he is not
yet ready to concede that they are in
any sense desirable. He may change
his mind in regard to that, but so far he
has not.
The president Is saying to those who
discuss the bill with him, that it has
seemed to him all along that there were
but two courses open to those framing
this legislation. They either Could give
the central contral to the banks or keep
it in the hands of the people. A mixed
central board had been suggested to
him, but that, as he has viewed it up to
this time, would be an indecisive make
shift. As between giving the control to
the bankers or keep it in the ‘hands of
the people through the general govern
ment he has not hesitated in favor of
the latter course.
WORTH OF OTHER BODIES.
Many bankers and others have asked
the president whether he did not fear
he was placing the financial credit of
the country in the hands of the politi
cians for a political plaything. But he
has met that argument again and again
by pointing to the interstate commerce
commission and to the public utilities
commissions of the various states. He
has recalled to his visitors that when
these various commissions were pro
posed the argument was raised against
them as is now raised against a central
control of credits not dominated by the
professional bankers. The railroads and
other public utilities objected to the con
trol by commission because they did
not want to be thrown as a pawn into
the political fcame.
Yet- now, after full experience with
this form of control, no honestly con
ducted public utility desires any other
form of regulation. They have found,
the president says, that at last they
can be fair to all interests and all pat
rons, can conduct their business in
the open and without fear of the in
sidious influences formerly governing
many of their actions. His prediction,
frequently made, is that the bankers
themselves of the United State in due
time will come to be glad of this inde
pendent control of credits.
NO FEAR OF POLITICS.
As for the danger that the credits of
the country will be made a political
yawn, of that the president says he has
no fear.
Where, he wants to know, does the
powerful interestate commerce commis
sion enter into the game of practical
politics? Where is there a public utili
ties commission run for political ends
or used as a poltical plaything? What
public official would dare to use the
interstate commerce commission as a
political agency? Who can conceive of
a.president of the United States making
use of the control of credits of the
entire country for the purpose of aiding
his political plans? He believes
any president who might attempt
anything of the kind would draw
upon himself the concentrated wrath
of the nation, for such an act on his
part would reach every human being in
the United States and would reach most
of them in a damaging way.
Even a man utterly without principle,
the president says, would not dare such
a thing.
This is illustrated repeatedly by the
fact that the courts are free from politi
cal domination.
The president says he cannot imagine
any president undertaking to use the
control of credits for political purposes,
and he has a pretty fair imagination, at
that.
The banking system literally will
touch everybody and that in itself is
the best safeguard of the proposed
plkn of control.
DUELS MAY SAVE ALE
Navy Department Officers
Recommend Development of
All Southern Stations
(By Associated Preyn.)
WASHINGTON, June 30.—Recom
mendation that none of the southern
navy yards be closed, as was proposed
during the last administration, will be
made to Secretary Josephus Daniels, of
the navy department, by the board of
officers, which has just returned to
Washington from a sixteen-day tour of
inspection of all the yards as far south
as New Orleans.
The prospects are bright for a devel
opment of the southern navy yards on
broad lines, if Secretary Daniels and
congress can be brought to accept the
conclusions and recommendation of the
board, which is composed of Rear Ad
miral John R. Edwards, Captain George
R. Evans, Naval Constructor W. G. Du-
Bose and Civil Engineer A. L. Parsons.
As a result of their inspection they
have collected a mass of material
which will be embodied in a report soon
to be submitted to Secretary Daniels.
The board was strongly impressed with
the splendid facilities of the southern
yards in the way of ease of access by
rail and by sea, depth of water front,
abundant space for docks and shops,
and, in fact, everything but the actual
plant in the shape of dry docks f and
construction work that is needed to
make up firstclass naval establishments.
The conclusion to be drawn from
their report, while not yet reduced to
form, will be decidedly against any
proposition to close up or abandon any
of the southern yards, though the trans
formation of the Port Royal, S. C., sta
tion into a detention barracks will be
approved as having resulted in the de
velopment of one of the finest penal in
stitutions in the world, under the able
management of marine officers.

TO PACIFIC DISSOL
Plan Will Go to Court With
Government’s Approval,
Will Avert Receivership
(By Associated Frets.)
WASHIINIGTON, June 30.—President
Wilson tonight approved the plan ne
gotiated by Attorney General McReyn
olds and the railroad attorneys for the
dissolution of the Union Pacific mer
ger.
This plan was drawn under the Sher
man anti-trust law, as directed by the
supreme court of the United States,
so as to avoid a receivership for the
great combination. G. Carroll Todd, spe
cial assistant to the attorney general,
left tonight for St. Paul to represent
the government and to announce its
approval of the proposal when it is pre
sented to the United States court there
Monday. He Was accompanied by H.
W. Clarke, of counsel for the railroad
who will submit the plan to the court.
The government will qualify its ap
proval of the plan, it is said, by asking
the court to grant a reasonable time
within which the attorney general may
make objections to the proposal if fur
ther study develops it will not meet
the requirements of the Sherman law
in all respects.

GETTYSBURG RALLY
After First Declining, Nation’s
Chief Executive Decides to
Journey to Historic Celebra
tion July 4
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 28.—President
Wilson tonight decided to attend the
fiftieth anniversary celebration of the
Battle of Gettysburg on the Fourth of
July. He telegraphed Governor Tener
that he had reconsidered his previous
declination and would make a brief
speech to the veterans.
The president’s decision followed a
conference wi«.ii Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania. The
president had taken the position pre
viously in declining to go that he would
be breaking his rule, established months
ago, not to leave Washington Tor any
speech-making occasion while congress
was in session.
Mr. Palmer pointed out. however,
the Importance of the Gettysburg cele
bration, its nation-wide significance, and
particularly the spirit of sectional
sympathy that would result from a
speech by a southern-born president at
the reunion of the north and south.
The president had intended to leave
Tuesday for New Hampshire to spend
a few days with his family, but the
trip will necessitate a rearrangement oT
plans. Mrfl Wilson probably will be at
Gettysburg only a few hours and it has
not yet been decided whether he will go
by motor or by train. His plans prob
ably will be announced on Monday.
Southern Ladies
Urge Skirts Twice
The Present Size
(By Associated Fro..,)
NEW YORK, June 80.—The much
mooted question of the proper fit for
women’s skirts was a featurs of a dis
cussion at the National Ladles' Tailors
and Dressmakers’ convention which be
gan here today With delegates present
from all parts of the country. It ap
peared a general opinion that narrow
lines would continue to hold popular,
with the trouser effect still a favorite
among the ultra-fashionable.
The New York delegates were firm for
skirts a yard around, while Chicago rep
resentatives Insisted upon a little more
leeway, a yard and a quarter with two
slashes, one at the front and one at
the back.
Louisiana delegates were the most
conservative, sticking for a two-yard
skirt, no sloshes, and shirt waists In
stead of a three-piece suit.
The pistol pockst was an Innovation
credited to the Chloago tailors, and
seemed to be generally aoaepted as a
good Idea. One or two patch pooksts
were suggested, and If women did not
care for the pistol they might carry
their powder puff In one and the purse
In the other.

MOTHER SLEW DAUGHTER.:
TOOK BODY AS BAGGAGE
“She Was in Way’’ Mrs, Ek-
man Tells Utah Police,
Admitting Fearful Deed
OGDEN, Utah, June 30.—The naked
body of a 12 year old girl was found
In a trunk at the Union station here
this afternoon and later Mrs. Augusta
Ekman, of Salt Lake, the mother, con
fessed to having killed her daughter,
Frances. She is under arrest with B. L.
Anderson, of Los Angeles, her former
husband.
While Mrs. Ekman says she chloro
formed the girl, physicians asserted the
child was choked to death. The woman
declares she committed the crime be*
cause the girl was an incumbrance.
The trunk had been checked from Salt
Lake two days ago and when Anderson
appeared today to have it rechecked to
Salt Lake, the rallroal officials demand
ed that it be opened because of the
peculiar odor. Anderson and the woman
separated for a number of years, and l
became reunited only two days ago. They
were on their way to Michigan when ar- ;
rested. They were taken to Salt Lake
today.
