As loud as their petty, bigoted, sel- fish voices will permit, senators from the south and senators beneath the thumb of the brewery interest, said to the people of Minnesota yesterday that no attention is to be paid to their pleadings for representation— that reapportionment is a joke. By a vote of twenty-nine to thirty- one the first real test showed a sen- ate of shame—twenty nine men who brazenly ignore the entreaties of hundreds of thousands of unrepre- sented people; entreaties for justice which is pledged by the Republican party in words which should be sacred; entreaties that have caused the governor to demand that they be granted. “I warn you now,” said the vener- able senator from Minneapolis, Gen- eral Wilson, just before the vote on the Hackney resolution was to be taken, “that this vote is life or death to reapportionment.” And the shameless senate prompt- 1y killed the resolution. Charles B. Cheney, for years po- litical editor of the Minneapolis Jour- nal, and who has had many kind things to say about the north and who has given all the assistance he could in her struggle for reapportion- ment, throws up the sponge: “I firmly believe,” says Mr. Cheney, “that the vote of the semate means that the present legislature will never pass a reapportionment bill.” The Hackney resolution merely provided that the semate member- ship be limited to sixty-three and that the house membership be limit- ed to 126. The house has passed the resolution, which, were it not for the things lying back of it, would not be of such great importance. As it came before the senate, backed by the clear warning that the people would consider a vote to kill hte resolution a poisoned dart aimed square at the heart of reapportion- ment, the resolution at once began an issue of far reaching importance. Note the noble senators of shame everlasting who voted in favor of Senator Works motion for indefinite postponement. Every senator who voted away their manhood by oppos- ing the resolution come from the over-represented districts of the south, or SENATORS NOTORIOUSLY CLOSE TO THE BREWERS. This simply means_that the liquor interests are opposed to reapportion- ment and that in collusion with con- niving democrats and consclenceless republicans they have assembled a band of déliberate pilferers of the people’s rights which would ' make pirates of:old doff-their hats to| crooks.-of greater daring. Of course the:north will not for a moment recognize the action of the senate yesterday as the blasting of her cherished hopes for reappor- tionment at this session of the legis- lature. She looks upon the roll call of the Hackney resolution as the raising of the masks of the men who, for personal ambitions and other petty reasons, are willing to sacrifice honor and decency, and you may be sure that the north will be on guard from this moment on. To the senator from Mankato, who appears to be leading the fight against reapportionment, belongs the thirty pieces of silver t6 which any- one who decides to become an esca- riot is entitled—or should the num- ber be changed to twenty-three? Senator Works, it will be remember- ed brayed loudly before election— and after election when his own election was in doubt—to the effect that he was a friend of the North, that reapportionment was just and right. Now a great fear has crept into the chameleon statesman from Mankato that the cities would gain too much by reapportionment, and therefore he is ready to fight against it, and he might as well, in the hope of saving his own disgraceful seat in the senate chamber. WHO IS IN THE RIGHT? If the Panama canal is not made to bristle with heavy batteries of sufficient strength to sink the dar- ing fleets of impudent nations, the new waterway will prove an ever- lasting menace to the United States and will place this nation at the merey of the Japanese hordes is the contention of the alarmists and this alarm to a greater or lesser extent is shared by President Taft. On the other hand, the friends of the world wide peace contend that the canal offers a splendid’ test of the sincerity of advocates of advanc- ed civilization and that to fortify would be an admission that the wars of all ages are to continue into the far. distant future. There is still another and per- haps stronger argument against pouring millions of dollars into the canal in an effort at protection from foreign foes and it is the one which goes to show that it practically will be impossible to make the canal safe from foreign invasion. If the president’s efforts to secure a large appropriation succeeds, the most modern defenses known to the war experts will be constructed at both the Pacific and Atlantic sea- boards. But will dhese defenses thus set up at a tremendous cost be effective for any length of time at the rate weapons of destruction are being invented? If it is proven beyond a doubt, as it appears to be, that aeroplanes are to be reckoned with in the progress of future wars, of what lasting bene- fit would the defenses be, as now proposed, when the test came? James A. Tawney, the illustrious Minnesota congressman, has had much to do with construction of the canal and in his opinion it is useless to attempt to fortify it. Other ex- perts agree with Mr. Tawney al- though the sentiment is by no means unanimous. In the meantime, while arguments are being carried on, it might be a good idea for congress to take a million of the proposed forty-five and appropriate it for the benefiit of the railroad mail clerks. How a Dying Man Feels. Numerous experiments made in hos- pitals and upon heroic scientists who have permitted tests to be made upon themselves right down to the moment of death warrant these conclusions: That a dying man may be burned with redhot irons and yet not feel the least pain: that consciousness may remain in the dying almost to the moment of actual dissolution, but that most peo- ple generally lose the power of thought -long before death: that in cases of death where there seems to be extreme suffering, with writhing and spasms, such phenomena are generally due to reflex muscular action: also that fear weakens the muscular system and has- tens death, while the reverse may prolong life.

NUMEER OF DEAD "~ NBOUT THIRTY Casualties as Result of Jer- sey City Explosion. PROPERTY LOSS IMMENSE Damage to Property in the Vicinity Estimated at as High as $1,000,000, the Heaviest Loser Being the Central " Railroad of New Jersey—Three Separate Official Investigations of Affair Started. New York, Feb. 3.—Three separate investigations were started to fix the responsibility for the dynamite explo- slon in New York harbor. One will be conducted by a coroner’s jury under Coroner James M. Houghton of Jersey City; anotheér by Inspector of Com. bustibles James 'M. Connolly of Jer- sey City, and a third by Public Prose- cutor Plerre P. Garven of Hudson county, N. J. y The Jersgey City police and the fed. eral authorities will assist in a]l three investigations. The federal . authori- ties, however, .have put-the case squarely up to New Jersey, although the transportation of explosives about the harbor is under the’ jurisdiction of the treasury department and under the direct supervision of the supervisor of anchorages, an officer of ‘the reve- nue cutter service. His investigation shows that when the explosion occurred the boats re- ceiving the dynamite were tied to a pier located under the jurisdiction of New Jersey authorities. The state of New York will have no hand in the investigation. It has jurisdiction over all crimes committed in the Hudson river, except when they occur on boats tied up on the Jersey side. Definite estimates of the number of dead are still impossible. The total of dead and missing is thirty. The list of dead in the hands of the coroner is seven and it is that- official’'s belief that most of the twenty-three men whom' he classes as “missing” were blown to atoms. Property Loss $1,000,000. The property loss, according to vari- ous official estimates, will be between $750,000 and $1,000,000. The heaviest sufferer in this respect is the Central Railroad of New Jersey, at whose docks the disaster occurred. Vice President Besler sets the railroad’s loss at about $200,000. The United 'States government is also a heavy loser, with $50,000 dam- age at Ellis island and an additional $10,000 or $15,000 at the army head- quarters on Governor’s island, and at Bedloe's. island, where the Statue of Liberty was shaken bare of many win- dows and big electric lights. The, blast was probably the largest explosion of dynamite that has ever occurred anywhere, intentionally or by accident. Fifty thousand pounds went up in the single detonation. There was a marvelous escape, how- ever, from a much bigger disaster, for there was another 50,000 pounds stand- ing on a sidetrack within 100 feet of the pier end, which stood unexploded through all the tumult. Thé cars which contained it were twisted and torn and the boxes were strewn on every side, but the dynamite, thick with the dust and debris of the ex- plosion, was unharmed and Intact in its paper coverings. The exact cause of the blast has not been definitely established and may never be explained to the sati: faction of the experts. Criminal prosecution as well as civic actions for damages are to be begun against the powder trust offi- clals responsible for the presence on the Jersey City pler of the dynamite that caused the disaster. TRAIN STRIKES AUTOMOBILE Two Persons Killed and Several Seri- ously Injured. St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 3.—Edna Coop- er was killed and five companions were injured, probably fatally, one of ‘whom, Stanley Clark, has since died, when a Chicago Great Western motor car ran down an automobile in Which the six young people were riding. The automobile belonged to Judge O. M. Spencer, general solicitor for the Burlington railroad, and was in charge of his son Tom, seventeen years old. The others were Lela Cooper, Roger Morton, Stanley Clark and Myrtle Smith, members of lead- ing families. The accident occured at the foot of a deep cut and the automobile was struck in the center and dragged a distance of 200 yards. 8core of Fishing Craft Lost. Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 3.—A wild. storm swept the Spanish coast and & score of fishing craft were dashed on the rocks and many of their crews lost. The bodies of twenty-five sail- ors were picked up along the coast. Thirty Dead in Spanish Wreck. Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 3.—The de- ralling of the passenger train at Va- lencia was caused by a washout of the |- roadbed. Thirty persons were killed. PRICELESS GIFTS. Kindly words, sympathizing at- tentions, watchfulness against wound- ing men's_sensitiveness—these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.

Rob- ertson.- * ol 2 what vague notions about business. ‘Some of them are quite {gnorantof it, others utterly indifferent to It and oth- ers yet hate the very name of it. One in the:last named category was Lisgt. He" had retagmed from a successful tour,* and icesss Metternich, the wife of the Celebrated statesman and diplomatist, was questioning him re- garding the concerts he had been giv- ing abroad.: ~ “I hear,” ghe- said, ““that you: did good business, in Paris.” To which Ligzt gave the tart reply, “I only played some music there. Business—that 1 leave-to bankers-and diplomatists.” To another lady the musical cleric gave a still more sarcastic answer. “Ah, Abbe;” she sighed, “what a great fortune you would make if only you could be induced to go to America to play!” 3 “Madame,” - returned - Liszt, “if you stood in need of that fortune, believe me, T would ‘go at once.” ..~ The Names of Moses. Moses of Scriptural fame is called by eight different names in various places in the Bible. Bathia, the daugh- ter of Pharaoh, called him Moses be: cause she drew him out of the ‘water. Jochebed, his mother, called him Jeku- thiel, saying, “I had hoped for him." Miriam, his sister, called him Jared because she had descended after him Into the water to see what his end would be. Aaron called his brother Abl Zanuch because his father had de- 'serted their mother. Amram, the fa- ther of Moses, called the boy Chabar because he was again reunited to the mother of the lad. Kehath, the grand- father of Moses, called him Abigdor because God had repaired the breach in the house of Jacob. The nurse of the grandfather of Moses called him Abl Socho because he was once hid- den three months in the Tabernacle. All Israel called him Shemaiah be- cause “In’ his days God heard their cries and rescued them from their.op- pressors.” Dot and Trousseau. Dealing with the weaknesses of ac- tors, some noted for meanness, a Paris- contemporary relates a good story of Frederick Lemaitre, the celebrated ac- tor, who was somewhat parsimonious. When his daughter was about to marry, Lemaitre agreed to provide the “dot” and the trousseau. “Dot,” it may be observed, is the French equiv- alent for the English “dower” or Scot- tish “tocher.” ‘When the notary came to complete the contract and was reading the terms Lemaitre said: “The daughter of Frederick Lemaitre has not need of a dot. M. Le Notaire, strike out the dot.” The. prospective son-in-law was pres- ent, and he had the courage to reply: “The daughter of Frederick Lemaitre can easily clothe herself with the fame of her father. M. Le Notaire, pray strike out the trousseau.” The Arabic Day. The Arabic day begins at sunset, nd the particular one which begins any month 18“that on which the new moon is first seen after sunset. Apart from the cloudiness of the sky, there may. be and generally is considerable difficulty in seeing the crescent, lost, as it must always be, in the radiance of the set sun. and consequently there is always uncertainty for some time | after sunset whether the day that has Just begun is to be reckoned with the last month or as the first of a new month. “INGURABLE” HEART DISEASE SO0N GURED BY the Great Specialist in Treating Weak and Diseased Heart, FRANKLIN MILES, M.
