Shanghai's old bufldings on the Bund are rapidly disappearing, and with their destruction many discoveries in the way of old burial places are be ing made. While excavating for a new building two Chinese graves were discovered Upon being opened, the coffins were found to be in a good de- gree of preservation, considering the lengtl? of time they must have been lying in the swamp. The inseriptions upon the stone tablets marking the graves are Iligible, so any conecture as to their age is almost Impossible. An urn containing a quantity of bones also unearthed was Ants That Plant. A species of ants living on the sem!- arid plains of Texas cultivate areas of On the cultivated space, which may have an urea of ten to fiffeen feet, only one kind of grass ts allowed to grow, and it is said that the seeds of this grass are planted by the ants. Roads are laid out regularly, radiating from the hill across the plain, and the shoots of undesirable plants are promptly nibbled off as fast as they appear umong the crops. When the harvest of the protected grass Is ripe the ants collect the seeds and convey them along a radiating highway to the little rooms in their hills. Interesting and wonderful is the economy of these tiny insects.

Portland, Ore——-Three women, two children and three men were killed and 38 persons badly injured Sunday morn- ing when two Southern Pacific electric trains crashed together head-on just outside the city limits of Portland. Several of the injured were 80 ser- | fously hurt that it is believed they will not recover. The wreck is alleged to have been Caused by the failure of the engineer- motorman on the inbound train from Hillsboro to Portland to observe his orders. His train ran past Bertha sta- tion, where it was under orders to pass | the outbound train from Portland to MeMinnville. This engineer, Silas H. Willetts, was killed in his cab when | e two trains crashed. | The inbound train did not stop at Bertha but proceeded at high speed down about half a mile of straight | track toward Portland. At the end of | this tangent of straight track the track | starts to swing in a curve around a high bank. This was the point where | the two trains met head-on. Evidently each train had been hid den from the engineer of the other un-| til they were within 200 or 300 feet | The forward coach of the fastgoing train from Hillsboro bored into and | through the vestibule of the forward | car of train 107, lifted it slightly and shoved it partly off the track, But the lifted end of this front car of the out- bound train from Portland sheared through the forward car of train 124, crushed the vestibule and continued on for about a quarter car-length into the coach. It was here that all the deaths oc- curred. There were many people, in cluding women and children, seated | near the front of fhe inbound Hills: | the other car, lifted as it was, slid | along the floor of their car, plowed into them and crushed them. REFINERY CHARGED WITH PROFITEERING Salt Lake City, Utah.—A complaint charging the Utah-Idaho Sugar com- pany of Salt Lake with profiteering in sugar was filed for the government | here before United States Commission- er Van Pelt. Filing of the complaint is the out come of nearly a week's investigation into the rise in sugar prices from 13 to 22 3-4 cents per pound instituted by the company May 1. Merrill Nibley, vice-president and as- | sistant general manager of the Utah- Idaho Sugar company, has been ar- | rested and released on $5000 bond to answer the complaint. It is expected | he will have a preliminary hearing in} about ten days. | Three instances where the company | sold sugar to local wholesale grocery | concerns at a price of approximately $23 per hundred-pound sack are elted | in the complaint. It is alleged {t costs but $9.50 to produce this amount.

The naval secretary let go a broad- side, which included charges that Sims lacked vision, that he belittled the work of the American navy in con- | trast to the British, coveted British decorations and aspired to become an honorary member of the British ad- miralty. He declared that officers supporting the Sims charges were largely “people with a grievance.” The testimony of other officers, dn possession of first hand knowledge, Secretary Daniels testified, “should be accepted by all open-minded men as an absolute refutation of virtually: all of Admiral Sims’ charges.” Sims, Secretary Daniels told the committee, did not measure up to @x- pectations in various ways, of which he mentioned six, as follows: “He lacked vision to see that a great and new project to bar the subma- from ‘their hunting grounds should be promptly adopted and car- ried out, no matter what the cost or how radical the departure from what ultra-prudent men regarded as imprac- ticable. “Fie seemed to accept the views of the British admiralty as superior to anything that would come from Amer- ica.” BRIEF GENERAL NEWS Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts vetoed the bill permitting manufacture and sale of 2.75 per cent beer and light ‘ Mrs. Samuel Gompers, wife of the president of the American Federation of Labor, died at her home in Washing- |} ton, D.
