PORTLAND, Aug. 30.—Apple pies promise to be a real scarce article this season as a result of a shorter apple crop in the United Slates than last year.

Woman Proves To Be Good House Wrecker Joins Husband as Partner and Works at His Side to Show Physical Quality of Sexes. MERRIMAC. MASS., Aug 30—Mrs. Willard W. Chase, mother of five chil dren, is now a full-fledged housewrecker, having been taken into partnership by her husband. She goes out to work with her husband every day and performs the labor of tearing down houses with the vigor of an average man. “It’s a grand thing for these women to be interested in educational things and take up civic problems,” said Mrs. Chase. “But if women really want to get anywhere it’s high time they began to show that they' are capable of doing the same sort of physical work that men do. and that they are the equals of men in all respects. Just leave it to me. I’ll do my share of the physical labor.” LLlj Whole U. S.

Shelton Demands Fixed Interstate Judicial Rela tions Before Judges Confer. MONTREAL. Aug. 30.—Thomas W. Shelton, of Virginia, was the princi pal speaker to-night before the Con ference of Judges, composed of the 48 chief judges of the States, the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, the nine presiding judges of the nine Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal, a Federal judge from Hawaii and the Chief Jus tice of Porto Rico. It was the first conference of judges ever held in the history of the United States, and it was held on foreign soil. The object is to bring about uniformity in judicial procedure ambng the States through fixed in terstate judicial relations, and pro mote closer relations between the courts. “There is,’’ said Mr. Shelton, “no more excuse for differing court pro cedure among the States than for the use of different languages. The prac tical men of commerce are demand ing the injection of practical com mon sense in the machinery' of the courts, and Congress and the Legis latures are being called upon to give the courts the necessary power. It has been long since apparent that unless judicial procedure was re formed by the bench and bar, it w'ould be attempted by persons more selfish than patriots.” The speaker declared that the courts and lawyers were helpless; that, “under the policy of Congress and that of nearly all the States,’’ the judge is bound hand and foot by rigid statutes. As a result, the courts have been accused of incompetency and the lawyers of indifference con cerning a condition they did not cre ate and are helpless to remedy. ___ j Drake Heir to Guide The Golden Hinde Descendant of Famous E ,glish Ex plorer Will Be Star Performer in Portola Festival.

By JONATHAN WINFIELD. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—With summer on the wane, tired members <>f Congress have become reconciled to the fact that both the tariff and currency questione must be disposed of before adjournment, and have set tled back to await the arrival of fall. It’s hard on the statesmen w'ho had figured .an adjournment about July 15 or August 1. Congress has been m almost continuous session for the past five years. It’s either long regular session or extra session following the short ones. The truth is, the contin uous performance in Congress is cost ing th members, as well as the coun try, a lot of money. The majority of the national legislators are law yers—men who have built up pretty good practices back home. Otherwise they might not be here. Not so very long aeo there weren’t a half dozen investigating commit tees grinding a>vay; the tariff ques tion was comparatively quiet; inter national muddles were few and far between, and the country struggled along some way with, its currency system. G. O. P. Slumber Is Disturbed. Sixteen years of Republican rule rather got everybody in the habit of taking things easy and not hunting for trouble and there didn’t seem half so much for Congress to do. In those days a member of Congress could count upon spending at least four to six months of the year at home and frequently he could put in eight to nine months on his private affairs. It made a difference finan cially and otherwise. Since early in the Taft administra tion, ^owever, Congress has been grinding’ away, getting a good start w’ith the Payne bill, which parsed on August 5, 1909. When President Wilson called the current extra ses sion last April it was hoped to get the Underwood bill through not later than August 15, but such hopes van ished when the Senate Finance Com mittee and the Senate caucus held up the measure almost two months after it passed the House. Then the President cam© along with his currency message and the anxious-to-get-home fellows just groaned. At first there were hopes of calling off the President and hints were thrown out that currency ; might go over until the regular ses- ! sion. The President’s message was plain enough, but he supplemented it with certain observations made when in quiring statesmen dropped in at the White House to ascertain if he were j really in earnest about this all sum mer business. Adjournment Plot Fails. The grumbling increased as the I weather got hotter. Then, seizing the j psychological moment, certain Repub lican Senators broached the subject of | a compromise; they agreed to rush • the tariff through if the currency question were left over until fall. The J President, however, sat on the propo- i sltion, so the Republicans went ahead talking tariff. The physical Inconvenience due to an all-summer stay in Washington, however, is but one of the causes be hind the complaints of “overworked** statesmen. The little matter of finance is also Involved. Things have actually come to such a pass that a Congress man must give practically his entire j time to the Government’s business. * and he has had to cut out the “side lines.” The Chautauqua, lecturers in the Senate and House are compelled to cancel their midsummer engage ments; the lawyer members are forced to turn their law business over to an understudy and the farmer statesmen have to get someone else to harvest the crop. Many lawyer members almost have decided to live on what Uncle yam pays them. With all that there are a bunch of fellow's “back home” willing to take the Congressman's job if he doesn’t like It. and it will be noted that there are few resignations. TREES ALL FED TO CATTLE.
