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 No Special Stamp for The Parcel Post Soon (By Associated Press.)

The secretary has designated a deputy collector to take _ immediate charge of each port and generally the designation was the present special deputy collector.

NEW TRIAL IS ORDERED IN HARNED LIBEL SUIT NEW YORK, June 30.—Judge Holt today set aside as inadequate the verdict for six cents recently obtained by Thomas B. Harned, a Philadelphia law 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.” Ordering a new trial, Judge Holt said he thought "Harned had been treated with grave injustice.” M’NAB CORRESPONDENCE IS SENT TO CONGRESS WASHINGTON, June 30.—Without waiting for action upon Representative Kahn’s resolutions, Attorney General McReynolds today sent to congress all the correspondence relating to the post ponement of the Dlggs-Caminettl white slave cases and Western Fuel company indictments which caused the recent 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.” SOUTHERN ITALY IS 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. Girls and Young Boys Offer to Give Skin to Save Fire Victims PRESIDENT'S D. K. 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. TENNESSEE POSSE IN SEARCH OF BLACK SLAYER MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 30.—Henry C.

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. Desperate Fight in a Mine PARIS.—Two thousand feet below the ground, In a gallery of a coal mine at Bethune, three miners suddenly attack ed a fourth against whom they had a grudge, with picks.
