Claim Sea’s Accretions.

Chancellor Walker decided a most

interesting case when he dismissed

the bill filed by the Dewey Lsnd Com­

pany, of Atlantic City, against Henry

E. Stevens, Jr., and others, to a suit

to quiet title to a lo t at the foot of .New Hampshire avenue, Atlantic City.

The complainants allege that by rea­

son of accretions in front of their tract

by alluvial deposits, the high water

line has been projected out into the

ocean a considerable distance, and

that they are entitled to the land thus

made oceanward of their original high water line. The Chancellor points out

that as a legal proposition this view

Is correct, but to this case title to part

of the land thus made is claimed by

the defendants by virtue of a riparian

grant by the State, made June 28, 1900, which antedates the complaint s

conveyance. At the time the giant

was made the land was under water

and the Court holds that the land re­

mains in possession of the ripaiian owners.

Taft Contends Congress Has Right to Let U. &- Ship* Pas* Free—Prai*e*Measure Highly—Most Beneficial

Ever Passed by Any Congress.

Washington—President Taft sign

ed the Panama Canal bill, afterward

sending to Congress a memorandum

suggesting the adviaability of the pas-

[ sage of a resolution which would de-

clare that this measure waa not con­sidered by this Government a viola­

tion of the treaty provision* regard­

ing the canal.

This means that the question of

free tolls to American coastwise ships

will be protested by Great Britain and

that the case will be carried to the

Hague. I t means also that the South­

ern Pacific Railroad will have to

abandon its plan to establish a >22,- 000,000 lino of bouts from New York to the Orient and tbat the New York,

New Haven and Hartford and other

railroad lines will be obliged to divest

themselves of their steamship hold­

ings.

In discussing the British protest

against the exemption of American

shipping from the payment of toll*

for the use of the canal. Mr. Taft saya

the irresistible conclusion to be drawn from i t Is that “although the United

States owns, controls, and has paid

for the canal, it is restricted by treaty

from aiding its own commerce in the

way that a ll other nations of the

world may freely do.

“ In view of the fact,” Mr. Taft con­

tinues, “that the Panama Canal is be­

ing constructed by the United States wholly at its own cost, upon territory

ceded to it by the Republic of Pana­m a for that purpose, and that, unless

i t has restricted itself, the United

States enjoys absolute rights of osm-

ership and control, including the right

to allow its own commerce the use

of the canal upon such terms as It sees fit, the sole question is: Has the

United States fby the terms of the

Hay-Pauneefote treaty) deprived it­

self of the exercise of the right to

pass its oft-n commerce free or to re­

m it toils collected for the use of the canal?”

The President points out that the

rules specified in the article of the

treaty which is made the basis for the

British protest were adopted by the United States as the basis of the neu­

tralizing of the canal, and for no other

purpose. This article, he further says, “is a declaration of policy by the

United States that the canal shall be

neutral ; that the attitude of this Gov­

ernment toward the commerce of the world is that all nations will be treat­

ed alike, and that no discrimination

would be made by the United States

against any one of them observing the rules adopted by the United States.

London—The Times publishes an article reiterating Us protest against

the Canal act as treaty violation.

that be waa told by Cornellua N. Bliss, who collected the >100.000 contribu­

tion of the Standard Oil Company to

1904, that the President knew of the

contribution and that it waa accepted with bis knowledge and consent.

Archbold further testified that when

the Standard Oil Company refused to

give up >150,000 more he was warned

by Bliss that the refusal was a min- take, aad a series of attacks on the

company followed.Senator Penroae followed and reiter­

ated what Archbold ha* said, adding that In a talk with the then President

the latter did not deny receiving the fund.

CoL Roosevelt to a statement denied

that he had requested or knew of any

Standard Oil contribution as testlfleo

by Mr. Archbold.The Progressive candidate charged

that the testimony of Archbold, coming

after the story told by Mr. Penrose in

the Senate, coupled with the nature

of the questions as»ed of the Standard Oil head, looked like a “frameup.’*

Mr. Roosevelt asserts that Mr. Arch­

bold lied to him when the oil suits were being prepared and asks why the

oil man did not collect then the privi­

leges which were coming to him as

a result of his >125/00 contribution.He suggests that the relationship

between Mr. Archbold and Mr. Pen­

rose as a member of the Industrial | Commission should be examined.

1 George W. Perkins said that the 93»-

I 000,000 fund story told by Senator

Penrose was a falsehood and a wanton

slander.Arebbold testified that the gift of

>100,000 was not made until Mr. Bliss

was told Standard Oil did not want to

make it “ without its being known and thoroughly approved by the powers

that be—and by the powers that be’ 1 meant, of course, CoL Roosevelt"

“Mr. Bliss smilingly said we need !iave

no possible apprehenion on that

score,” and that Roosevelt and Cortel

you both knew.Mr. Archbold refused to admit that

he had written or signed the letter to

Senator Penrose announcing the send­

ing of the >25,000. He said he was “suspicious” that it was a forgery.

He admitted that the telegrams in

cipher and other to W illiam Flinn of Pittsburgh were genuine.

HUB PERDUE ADMIRES BROWN STAR TEAM S O F BIG LEA G U E

STRIKE OF JAPANESE LEP ER SAlthough strikes are the order of

the day in Japan a strike of lepers Is something out of the common. At the Kamevama hospital, however, this

recently occurred. The hospital was

founded and is conducted by a so­ciety of French monks, and contains

some three hundred leper patients.

The costs of the establishment are

paid by voluntary subscriptions and

by the sale of the produce of the hos­

pital garden and handiwork of the pa­tients. The latter receive no pay­

ment for their services, beyond their

board, lodging and medical attend­

ance and a small sum for pocket money, which ia calculated at the

rate of a farthing per day. Recently

the lepers demanded an increase in

their pocket money allowance to a

half-penny a day. and on the refusal of the father superintendent they

struck work, and over a hundred es­

caped from the hospital by night by climbing over the wall. Tbev were subsequently recaptured by the local

police and reconducted to the care of

the monks.

The premier American club of slug­

gers would be: Lapp, catcher; John­

base; Baker, third base; Jackson, left

field; Speaker, center field, and Cobb, right field. A series between two

such teams would prove attractive.

Non-partisan fans would fancy the chances of the American league, ow­

ing to the fact that Johnson is a

World's Championship Series of Last

Fall Unearthed Hero in Person

of Frank Baksr of Phlladet

phi a Athletic Tesm.

It Isn't necessary to be a pitcher to

earn big ipoa«y, for there are other de­

partments o f the game In which to

shiae. It baa been said that every world series develops a new hero. That

applies to third baseman Prank Baker,

who is now known at Homerun

Baker. Bake/ was one of the leading

fsctors in the Athletics’ late victory over the Giants, and his efforts were

rewarded by prize money to the ex­

tent of 93.6M.58, this being his share

of the extra |75,746.87. which wss di­vided smong the 21 eligible players of

hia team. When a baseball player

can secure f€09 per game for six games his earning ability compares

favorably with any man whdse busi­

ness success depends upon his hsnds

as well aa hia brains. That the Phil­adelphia American League club Con­

sidered that Baker was worth the

money la shown by the fact that he signed a contract thla season calling

for almost fl.OOO a month ror the

seven months of major league base­

ball.

Two veterans who hsve drawn big dividends from the national game for

more than a decade are Hans Wagner

Frank Baker.

of the Pittsburg Pirates and Christy

Mathewson of the New York Giants.

Each player has been a star In his po­

sition and has been paid accordingly.

It Is estimated that Wagner has re­

ceived more than $100,000 for his la­

bors on the diamond, and he is still a mighty drawing card on the Nation­

al league circuit. The average fan

who has seen Wagner executing one

of his marvelous stops and throws, or clearing the bases with a teriflc

home-run drive over the centerfield- er’s heed, will tell you that he is worth

the money.— Harper’s Weekly.

Clarke Griffith made a bad move when

he got Johnny Bates ss part of his

famous trade with Philadelphia. Bates has played great ball for the Reds;

he la one of the topnotchers In the Na­

tional League in base stealing and run

that make it hard for a ball player to

give his best efforts In Cincinnati do

not seem to bother him—knocks and

criticisms worry him n o t That may

John W . Batee

be due to the years he spent with the Boston Nationals before he went to

Philadelphia. Bates, like most of the

ball playing fraternity, thought he was cut out for a pitcher when he started

out In Pennsylvania in 1905, but he

was shunted to the outfield. He broke

into the National League as a recruit

with Boston and has always made so good that he Is an object of envy by

managers. He is a left-hander, weighs

162 pounds, stands 5 feet 7 inches, and

is a native of Ohio.

the pill is said to be due to his incli­

nation to let the balls go off side-arm

style. Some of the Senators believe he Is the best pitcher In the Bouthpsw

hand. Griffith recently told him he

would have to follow the overhand style.

THE W AY OUT

Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness.

An ambitious but delicate girl, after falling to go through school on ac­

count of nervousness and hysteria,

found in Grapo-Nuts the only thing

that seemed to build her up and fur­nish her the peace of health.

“From infancy,” she says, “I have

not been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost I -finally cot to the

High School, but soon had to abandon

ray studies on account of nervous pros­tration and hysteria.

“My food did not agree w ith me, I grew th in and despondent I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I

suffered constantly from nervousness in eplte of all sorts of medicines.

“This wretched condition continued

until I was twenty-five, when I became

interested in the letters of those who had cases like m ine and who were get­ting well by eating Grape-Nuts.

“I had little faith but procured a

box and after the first dish I expe­

rienced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had nev%r gained from any ordi­

nary food. I slept and re8ted better

that night and in a few days began to grow stronger.

“I had a new feeling and peace and restfulnese In a few weekB, to my great joy, the headaches and nervous­ness left me and life became bright and hopeful. I resumed my studies snd later taught ten months with esse —of course using Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four years since I be­gan to use Grape-Nuts, I am the mis­tress of a happy home, and the old weakness hss never returned." Name given by the Postua Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

Invitations for October weddings are beginning to fly, and so also are letters to beauty specialists. They

are mostly from engaged girls and bridesmaids, pretty pleas for "balms,”

or pastes, or advice. Two of the fu­

ture brides complain of being "worn out" and pale and nervous— thst is,

two who write to tne, and bere are

patients for tbat cheapest of medicine

and tbst most rewarding of beauty

moves—common sense.

Being engaged is in itself a thrilling

experience, trying to the nerves, tem­

per and mere muscles, if the girl does

much running around, and if she stays

Burning emotion of which the humai.

heart is capable, and too mucb occu­

pation with the subject is far from sensible now when two people expect

to Join their destinies so soon for all

time. Therefore, as a first specific to­

ward the relief of that “tired feeling,” and as a cure for Indifferent complex­

ions, I would advise the bride-to-be to have more long walks with her

"young man” snd fewer Indoor confer­

ences. Fresh air Is the skin's great­

est reviver and tbe exercise freshens

tbe blood, tones up muscles snd brings

Joy to the heart; but since young peo­

ple always want to drink cold things summer afternoons and nights, I must

warn the bride who wants a flawless

complexion on her wedding dsy to

steer dear of the ice cream sodas ta­

ken eo often during the rambles with

the beloved one and with girl friends.

Buttermilk, as I have said many

times, used Internally and externally.

Is very beautifying to the akin. and

sometimes an entire buttermilk diet

ia needed for toning up the stomach

after purging or s bilious attack. Mo.

lasses of the thick, dark kind is wm

sidered to have a d'stinct beauty val­

ue when eaten with coarse bread, and so are the fresh fruits, particularly oranges, grapefruit, grapes and pine

apple. A daily salad of fresh green

stuff aids the digestion, and so ia a help In the banishing of pimples and

the sallowneps due to coarse eatini

or neglect of the bowels.

Weddings coming in October entail

a good deal more anxiety about ths

whiteness of the akin than do thoe«

of tbe springtime, for vacations havt

just ended and many girls return to town disfigured to the alarming poiat

with sunburn and freckles. For ths

dispersal of these blights massage li needed, but it must follow a hot fact

bath or a good face steam and b« done with a bleaching cream. Ths

cream containing cucumber, lettuce or

use comes with the massage. Th«

PARIS CABS MUST BEHAVENew York.—"Then," aald a reporter

for a New York paper to a woman in

white, accompanied by a little girl, aa

she placed a couple of red lanterns In

position outside 12 Macdougal alley, “you are the only woman night watch­

man ln the city?"

“Yon mean,” replied Mra. Astrid

Wolfe, “that I am the only night

watchwoman ln the city."

When the reporter remembered that

Mrs. Wolfe and her nine-year-old

daughter Lillian carried the banner

for the mothers* division in the woman

suffrage parade laat spring he ac­

cepted the correction. Mrs. Wolfe wore around her neck a black ribbon,

which bore, instead of a watch, a po­lice whistle. In her strong hand waa

her nightstick. Every policeman

around Washington square is alert for

any alarm from Mrs. Wolfe’s post,

which ls a big, dark, echoing building,

yawning upon Eighth street It is the

sort a place that would scare tbe av­

erage woman after dark. The build­ing ls unoccupied, save by her, aa lt

is being remodeled.

“You see,” explained Mrs. Wolfe,

after she had put Lillian to bed in th £

echoing house, "thieves don’t care

about the timber; it’s the -plumbing fixtures they would come for. After

putting the lights In position I sit and

read all night, except at Intervals when I make a thorough search of the

building. I usually feel lucky If I

get to bed after breakfast Then I

get a little sleep. If the workmen don t

make too much noise.

"Why have I a job so strange for a woman? A year ago, after a serious

Illness. I fouad it necessary to get work at once. I had myself and L il­

lian to support I had no friends. I

was told there was a job watching at night In an apartment house that was

being built on S t Nicholas avenue.

So I went to the agent and applied. I

told him I was afraid of nothing. I got the Job. Before that I had been a probation officer for the Florence

Crittenden home on Bleeker street. It

waa there that I saw my first fight.

"One evening I saw a man leaning against the door of a house across the

way. Every now and then he knocked

a pane of glaas out of the door with his elbow while be pretended to lean

what he was doing. He struck me a blow on my right shoulder that almost

paralysed me. He ran, and I fainted from the pain. As soon as I recovered

I ran, calling for the police.

"WTiea I found a policeman snd led

him back, there was the thief back on the Job. He thought he had scared

me. I made a rush at him. I wanted to let him know that I could give a

punch. But the cop got him ly tead.“Ever since then I have carried a

police whistle and nightstick when on

duty. The other day I made some bums get off the steps. They were

waiting till it was dark to steal Into

Paris.— Tbe cochmen and chauffeurs of Paris are muttering and protesting over the new series of regulations

relative to street traffic. Frenchmen

dislike changes of sny kind, and It Is not strange that the veteran Parisian cab drivers should grumble over sny rules which pretend to tell them how

they shall drive through the streets of Parts which they know so Intimately.

Call la Spending His Declining

Years at Summer Resort

Brooklyn, N. Bearing the marks

of many wounds received in honorable service, and having passed the age lim it at which retirement Is com­pulsory, Mack, the erstwhile mascot at Brooklyn fire headquarters, has been

retired on a pension and Is passing his

declining years at a hotel on Shelter Island, L. h, wbere he is disproving the adage that an old dog cannot be taught new tricks.

Mack bas become a “buff" of the Shelter laland Flre department but

cannot find enough exercise in the task to keep In physical condition. In­

stead of running to a fire a dozen times a day, aa he did when at the

Brooklyn flre headquarters, Mack now ia lucky If he baa a call to a flre once a month.

When the time hangs heavily he

amuses visitors at the hotel by run­ning up a ladder with the agility of a fireman. When Warren Schneider,

tbe Brooklyn fireman who was count­

ed as Mack’s beBt friend, sent bim to the hotel, Schneider said be did not

believe Mack would tflve a month so far away from fire headquarters, but

Michael Stacano made a bet with Schneider that not only the mascot

would live but that he was not too old to learn a new trick.

Mack has fulfilled tbe prediction Henry Walther. proprietor of the ho tel, writes to Schneider tbat Mack Is

a big favorite with the visitors. He

has taught the fire dog to extinguish lighted cigars and cigarettes thrown

Dancing gowns will come In for a

great share of attention this summer, and while young girls w ill revel in

those elegant simplicities of exquisite

laces and old world taffetas which arc so cleverly blended into the artistic

than ever, and the gradient hues of one particular color provides variety

occasions.Then, after exhausting the possibili­

there are all tbe combinations of color harmonies to be considered.

Tha New Hat T ilt

If you wish to be fashionable, m e* dames, wear your hat on a gentle slope touching the right eyebrow and contrive. If you can, not to look rak­

ish, but quite seriously comme il fau t If you like, and If the gods or your

hairdresser have seen fit to provide

you with hair in twists and colli at tbe back, you may reveal the fact; yon may even have fluffy puffs at the side

and take the pub lic into your confi­dence about i t But out of doors you

must conceal the tact that there is any

hair on top or wandering in waves or kiss curls over your forehead. Not a strand of hair should show in front—

which is all very well so long as the hat ls on, but If we follow the fash­ion, pretty sights we shall all look as

soon as our bats are removed. One can foresee a revival of the great thea­
