PEOPLE MUST
ACT TO CHECK
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The <le- !
partment of justice has practically
confessed its helplessness in reducing
the cost of living by legal process and
appealed to the people of the United
States to join in a nation-wide boycott
against high-priced foods.
Federal District Attorney George
i W. Anderson, of Boston, chief food
: price investigator for the government,
• in a statement declared that if the
; people of the country would co-oper
; ate in boycotting the foods which the
| speculators have run up to prohibitive
: prices the back of the high cost of liv
i ing will break within a week. The
measure advocated by Anderson con
; stitutes probably the largest boycott
j declaration in the history of the coun
try.
j After consulting with Secretary of
: Agriculture Houston and his scientist
! assistants Anderson declared that the
| people should buy such foods as rice,
cornmeal and other highly nutritive
i but low-priced commodities.
Dr. Wiley’s Advice.
The same advice is given by Dr.
J Harvey W. Wiley, one of the foremost
food experts in the country. Dr. Wi
ley says the United States wastes
enough food to support Germany' and
advocates municipal food dispensaries
to cut the living cost.
Declaration of the nation-wide boy
cott by the government’s chief inves
tigator will not halt proceedings
against speculators, however. Attor- !
ney-General Gregory gave Anderson’
;free reign in ordering grand jury in
1 vestigation.
frank M. Swacker was retained by
Gregory as a special assistant in
charge of the New York city inquiry
which will turn largely on coal sup
plies. Swacker won distinction as an
investigator in the New Haven cases,
in which he was retained by the gov
ernment.
Anderson said the people should not
expect too much to be done in the
way of apprehending speculators. He
declares that the laws under which
proceedings can be instituted are in
adequate, and strongly intimates that
chief reliance for relief from the
present food price situation must be
the boycott for which he appealed.
After Car Sharks.
Considerable evidence has been pro
cured, said Anderson regarding the
operation of food and coal “car
I sharks.” Most of them are brokers
in large cities. Their method is to or
der carloads of coal or food, have it
shipped to within a shirt distance of
their city and then hold it there pay
ing car demurrage if necessary until
prices rise. Their cars are then
brought in and the freight sold at the
higher prices.
These speculators can be best reach
ed through a boycott, says Mr. Ander
son. His advice is:
“Buy nothing at panic prices. Buy
only the cheap foods.”
AT THE EMPRESS.
{Sensational Drama With a Message.
At the Empres theatre this Tues
day and Wednesday, a sensational
! drama of Wall street speculation en
titled “Bought” is the offering.
The play is a complex problem of
the whirling wheel of New York life
i where matrimony is largely regarded
more as an experiment rather than
the sober sacred thought it deserves.
As will be seen in the play, this ap
plies largely to the so-called “society '
set,” who in their mad and stupefy- ;
ing dreams believe that for a money
consideration any scandal can be veil
ed and everything under the sun,
“BOUGHT.”
It is an unusual story told in film
form of a wealthy New York society
girl whose good name must be saved,
and to save it—well just see the play
for yourself, and do not overlook the
husband that was bought. It

In discussing the insane of Alaska,
detention hospitals and commission of
crime, Gov. J. F. A. Strong in his an
nual report, says that Alaska has no
hospital for the insane, and insane
persons are cared for at Morningside
sanitarium, near Portland, Oregon,
under a contract entered into between
the Sanitarium company of that city
and the secretary of the interior.
Congress makes an annual appropria
tion for the medical treatment and
maintenance of the Alaska patients,
the amount being appropriated for the
fiscal year being $70,000. This item
includes transportation in case of re
moval of patients elsewhere. In pre
vious annual reports the contract sys
tem of caring for insane persons has
received attention, and the recommen
dation has been made that the insane
of Alaska should be cared for in Alas
ka. If this plan were adopted, it
would call for the construction of suit
able buildings at considerable cost to
the government, but it is submitted
that this cost would not be excessive,
while the contract system of caring
for these insane patients, inherently
bad at all times and under all condi
tions ,would be abolished. It need be
scarcely pointed out that no mauer
with what fidelity the contract may ue
discharged it can never be satisfac
tory, and complaints, ofttimes ground
less, will be almost unceasing. The
proper care of defectives of all kinds
should be a matter of grave concern
to the state. It is quite probable that
the treatment accorded the insane of
Alaska at the contract hospital will
compare favorably with that accorded
patients in similar institutions; per
haps it is better than the average, but
this fact does not relieve the govern
ment of the responsibility of provid
ing a modern, well-equipped institu
tion in the territory where the insane
can be properly maintained. Steps
with this end in view must be taken
sooner or later, and the time would
now seem to be propitious. There are
a number of towns in Alaska where
sites may be obtained for such institu
tions. The population of Alaska is
increasing an®\vill continue to in
crease steadilj^ror many years to
come; and with it no doubt will follow
an increase in the number of insane to
be cared for by the government.
Morningside sanitarium and its
management were subjects of several
comprehensive investigations during
the year. These were conducted by
experts under the direction of the de
partment, the reports, on the whole
being not unfavorable to the manage
ment of the institution. A number of
recommendations were made and it is
understood that these have been car
ried out or are in the process of ful
fillment. Among the improvements
that are now under way is the con
struction of an additional building up
on plans approved by the department.
This building will provide much more
room and relieve the congestion that
has been hitherto apparent* especial- |
ly in the dormitories. Greater free- I
dom for exercise will also be afforded
the patients, more and better bathing \
facilities will be furnished, and hydro- I
therapy will be among the new feat- I
ures added.

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy Mill is designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies w'iih
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of nav nr**
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing
—at as low a cost as possible.
It is not a toy mill or a makeshift in any way hut a mill constructed
on scientific principles and »tjual in efficiency as any stamp of the same
weight. The 2000 pound mill has two stamps of 32f* pounds each and drop
at 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can be increased very easily by placing springs on the
stamp stems or the weight of the blow increased with additional
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir,
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is so constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces,
screens easily removed- Hie whole front and back can be removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can he easily taken up. Xo expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill is simple,
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output bv adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties if they show us their properties are •) K. wv can
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, jigs, tables,
etc., at market prices.
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and this pulp run over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have such properties or if you wish further particulars.
Yours truly,
H. J. DARCY, West Tacoma

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
EVANS & FRANTZEN
WOMAN ON TRIAL FOR
KILLING OF HUSBAND
NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 21.—“It was i
a case of the abuse of the birthright
of a woman to defend her life at any
cost. I now feel that nothing can
stand in the way of my being cleared.”
Going to trial Monday for the sec
ond time for the murder of her “lust- ;
ful brute” husband, Christopher, Mrs.
Margaret Clare Beutinger, mother of
five pretty babies today made the
above statement, the first sentence re
ferring to the failure of the first jury
to acquit her.
As at the first trial, she will testi
fy that she shot in self-defense when
her husband persisted in trying to
force physical attentions upon her af
ter she declared she could not be his
wife.
The little woman will repeat the
whole sordit story, reciting how he
beat her frequently during their mar
ried life. She will tell of the many
distressing experiences she suffered at
his hands as they journeyed from her
home in Jamaica, W. I., to San Fran
cisco the Philippines thence to Siberia
and afterward to Europe.
Mrs. Beutinger according to her
testimony at the first trial was in bed
in her home when her husband ap
proached her for the third time, the
day of the shooting. She told him to
stay away or she would shoot. He ad
vanced and she screaming hysterical- i
ly, fired until her revolver was empty.
Though only 28 years old, she bore
her husband seven children, two of
whom died.
