JI'DGE LANDIH ORDERS
LEGAL FEES OK XWMMMM*
Fees of $60,000 claimed by attor
ney Frank H. McCulloch for services
during the eleven years of litigation
involving the receivership of the Chi
cago and Milwaukee Electric Rail
way Company were ordered by Fed
eral Judge Landis to be paid yester
day.
“Mr. McCulloch most certainly is
entitled to his fees in this case," said
the judge, “for he has seen nine
rears of service with an extraordi
nary bunch of crooks to contend with.
Paying bills was the rarest accom
plishment of Albert C. Frost and
those who stood by him during these
years. That outfit kept its agree
ments with about the same degree of
faith as the kaiserland in its dealings
with the 1'nitcd States. This man
Frost was a crook, and when I say
that I refer to no other Frost than
Albert C. Frost.”
Judge Landis also criticized the re
organization plan under which, he de
clared. Samuel Instill, as an individu
al, negotiated an entrance to Chicago
for the Milwaukee Electric over the
Northwestern elevated, of which lat
ter road Mr. Insult was the actual
head.

!B. r. I'HKH DYNAMITE
TO KII/Ij THE SKA US
———————
NEW WESTMINISTER. June 6—
It was announced today from the
office of the chief inspector of fish
eries that out on the sandheads on
the Eraser river on Thursday an in
itial experiment in the campaign
! aimed at the extermination of the
'hair seal herds was carried out with
/complete success.
Under the supervision of Mr. J.
I McHugh, resident engineer, a mine
I was laid under a popular resting
| place for seal on a sandbar half way
'between Point Grey and the North
! Light. The mine consisted of 14 coal
oil cans with 200 pounds of dynamite
land forcite gelatine, and with shrap
nel. Tlie mine was laid two days be
fore it was touched off, and when
the seals began to congregate as usu
al on the bar just as the falling tide
left it exposed, the charge was fired
by an electric battery from a gasoline
launch half a mile away.
There was estimated to be any
where from 150 to 200 seals on the
bar and in* the water close by. The
!explosion lifted the top of the bar 150
feet in the air. the forms of huge
seals being observed in the sand and
1 water.
.V^ soon as the mine was exploded
the party in the boat started for the
scene. The tide water was running
I
out strongly and much of the debris
had already disappeared from view,
i but everywhere was found fragments
I of seal and shrapnel.

'MORAHT SNEERS AT
THE AMERICAN ARMY
j AMSTERDAM. June 6.—The army
of the United States is held up to
ridicule hv Major Moraht, writing in
| the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, who
jeers at the idea that America can
give any effective military aid to the
allies. Major Moraht says:
"The American army is no danger
to Germany. The Civil War cost 500.
'000 lives because neither side had a
'trained army. Now Wilson, forgetful
iof history, is trying the same thing
I but it will be shown once more that
ithe braggadocio of his countrymen is
; in inverse ratio to their fighting val
I ue.”
Major Moraht concludes with a
sneer at “shoddy American war mat
erial,” of which he says the Russians
could tell a tale.
The Vorwaerts says ironically that
! it is now considered good form to
[join the anti-German world league.
:The Socialist organ declares that
| Brazil, Peru and Chile, professing to
| be prepared to fight for humanity and
civilization, are really instigated by
i their material dependence on fie»v
York, London and Paris and the ease
with which rich German trans-Atlan
tic communities can be attacked.
The Kreus Zeitung says:
“Thirteen hundred millions of the'
world inhabitants are fighting 70,-'
000,000 Germans. Let the rest of the. j
earth come as well; we will beat them |
all.”

FOR WOMEN MOTORISTS.
Some Thing* e Good Driver Sheuld
and Should Not Do.
The good driver <-f n motorcar never
applies brakes swiftly except In an
emergency. When drawing up at a
street side she cuts off Ignition early
and allows momentum to carry the
car to the stepping place, using tthe
service brake gradually. The good
driver thus saves gasoline and wear
upon brakes, coasting to a stop with
the smoothness of operation of an easy
start.
i A good driver never uses the emer
gency brake, because she never has,
i emergencies. She sees and avoids the
i emergency before it arrives. The poor
| driver rushes into trouble and de]teiids
upon ipiickncss in grabbing the emer
gency lever to save life. More than
one accident has followed a futile at
tempt to tind the seldom used emer
gency lever in n hurry.
The good driver rounds sharp cor
ners to the right and goes over ex
tremely rough stretches of road or hits
! unexpected “thank you ma'ams" with
; clutch disengaged, to save the rear j
axle mechanism.
Tlie good driver uses the wheel with
the least possible motion. She does'
not drag it suddenly from side to side.,
! but turps it so gradually that passen
I gers are unconscious of the fact. In
rounding a corner 6he commences to
straighten the car up before it Is half
way around. — Woman's Home Com
pan ion.
RECORD COAL LOADING. |
—
Unci* Sam’* Plant at Cristobal Is ths
Fastest In ths World.
The good work of the Cristobal coal
loading plant at the isthmus of Pana-1
ma is the subject of a report receiv
ed at tlie war department from one .
of its boards, whose conclusions are i
| that the plant fully meets the plans of
i the engineers and is probably the most {
efficient loading plant in the world. It |
! was found that the minimum perform j
ance during the test was 1.050 tons an
! hour and the maximum 2,480 tons. The !
minimum occurred when one of the1
four diggers was temporarily out ot,
commission, due to a defective bucket, i
■At 2.400 tons an hour the plant far i
exceeds the work of any other known i
plant for loading steamships or even j
i of railroad loading plants. The canal1
: collier Ulysses was loaded at the rate
! of 1.050 tons an hour, and 12.000 tons
were put on her in eight hours. Mer
chant ships cannot be loaded at this
j rapid rate, as their hatches are too
small and their bunkers are not ar
| ninged to admit of such work. This
I is a feature in shipbuilding that is be
I ing carefully taken care of nowadays
; in constructing ships that are to pass
through the canal. Ail new United
States naval colliers are so built t,,at
1 they can be loaded at high speed.
Garment Making In New York.
The garment making industry in.
New York, much before the public
nowadays by reason of the efforts of
the save New York committee to mow
| its base fr< m the retail shopping dis !
j triet,in the Fifth avenue section, is'
really one of the biggest assets the
: city lias. Some lb.tXXi factories are op
erated for tailoring, millinery, hum
| tiering and other branches of work
; upon garments, employing more than
I Hotumu persons. Their output exceeds
goods valued at JmOO.OOO.OOO annually, j
aiding materially in making New York ,
the leading manufacturing center of j
this country. Chicago. Philadelphia, St.
Louis, Boston and Cleveland following
in the order named.
Join the Pay Up Crowd.
John D. ltockefeller often referred i
proudly to the fact that when he was j
making a month he made it a point j
to pay all his bills promptly, lie also {
managed to save a little money that >
later became the foundation of his I
great fortune. When you pay your I
bills promptly you know just where I
you are at. l‘ay tip is becoming a na
tional slogan. Cities and states have
inaugurated pay up days and pay up
weeks. The man who pays his bills i.
when they are due feels better for it. i
There is no doubt that be makes tbe -
uihu be owes fpt^l better. Do your part j
in the pay up campaign, l’ay now.
Pays Hia Men Each Day.
Contractors in central Pennsylvania |
have solved the problem of keeping la
bor on the Job. The’force of one con-:
tractor who begun paying his men off
every day instead of at the end of the !
week was so pleased with the arrange- i
uient that it stuck by him. and other j
contractors have adopted the same
plan. According to reports, the plan ;
has met with success wherever tried.— .
Engineering Record.
Careless.
“Burglars broke into Brown’s bouse
the other night.”
"Did they get anything?"
“Nothing but some jewelry. They
overlooked a steak und u dozen fresh
eggs that were in the icebox.’’—Detroit '
Free Press.
Coney Island.
Coney Island was called Cone.vn or
Rabbit Island by the Dutch as early !
as 1C9S. Henry Hudson landed on {
Coney Island on the voyage in which :
he discovered the Hudson river, on ;
Sept. 2 or 3. 1009. I
Why Shouldn’t Ho?
“He says he loves his wife better
every year."
“And I believe him. That woman j
has received three inheritances since
be married her.”—Exchange.
