Glacial Formation Discovered on Banks
of Spokane River.
Spokane, Wash.., Aug. 19.--Ifervesters
milking at Vaikiki, o nthe banks 01
the Little Spokane River near Spokaue,
the country home of Jay P. Graves,
Piesident of the Spokane se Inland Em-
pire Railway system, discovered a glacial
tormation containing enough ice to put
the trust and its allies in the Pacific
Northwest out of business for years to
come. The mass Witti found under a cov-
eting of sand and gravel, and prelindie
ary investigations indicate this may have

John Peterson, whose estate adjoins
Waikiki, fountt what isbelieved to be
the extreme western edge of this tomb of
ice last summer, when tons of the con-
gealed nutss were conveyed to ranches
and farm houses to fill the ice boxes
and refrigerators, but this has since
ceased, as the latest "find" disclosed
pieeess of Indian blankets and matting
firmly imbedded in the ice, which seems
to confirm the theory of the investiga-
tors that this spot is .the burial place
of chiefs and tribesmen high in the coun-
cite of the aborigines. The discovery
has been reported to the Washington
State College at Pullman, and President

$4,000 PAID STRIKERS,
Striking Plumbers and Machinists in
Excellent Financial Shape, •
Toronto Aug. 18. -Nearly e4.000 \MB
distributed in strike pay to the plumb-
ers and machinists at the Labor Temple
'on Saturday. The executive of both or-
ganizations report that notwithstanding
the large amount paid on( weekly they
have niore money in the treasury and
are in better shape in every way than
at any other period of their existence.
The plumbers' strike started on May
15, when about 450 men quit work in
etizsequence of the bosses' refusal to
comply with their requests for a close
shop, ttn increase of wages and a restric-
tion 'of the number of apprentices.
Ail the small employers have comoded
the terms asked, with the result that
they WINO Over 200 111011 working for
them to -day, and several have started
bfisiness on their 09511 account. AM these
are contributing 25 per cent. of their
earnings towards the union funds to aid
those still out.
The machinists are in a similar condi-
tion. Their strike started on June 8,
ane has been running for ten weeks.
They demanded a nine -hour working day
with ten hours' pay. This the employers
refused, and 643 men struck. Two-thirds
of the employers have aince aceeded to
the mene, terms, with the result, that
315 men are 11095 working under the al-
tered conditions,
Both strikes are being conducted in
a moet orZierly nutnner, which reflects
great credit on the uten,
On the other hand, Secretary J. Mer-
rick, of the Employers' Association,
says: "All the talk of the men is mere
moonshine. The employers are getting
along very nicely, and are fulfilling their
eontraets without trouble. Although the
large shops have not got full staffs they
have sufficient 111011 to meet the demands

In ineesilsanrdg(liieetttliar feature
will undoubtedly be the interposition
of a defense) of emotional insanity,
de two having in a isenee mule of
the feature.* of the Thaw cam.
In them two eases the -murder has
been committed, it is alleged, by the
prisoners ,because of attentions to their
wises, and in these two cases also'the
witsa, since their husbands hey° been
imprisoned, have become their stencil
supporters and it is upon their testi.
1110113' that the prisonem' counsel hope to
eet them free.
These two are Arthur Meitner, of
East Aurora, and Djako Milt:einem of
West; Seneca. Mho other three ac-
cused men .are Harley Stehlmiller,
Frank Jackson and George Hodson.
The five prisoners are not confined
in adjoining cells nor is the cere given
to them any different then to the prie-
etler8 charged with lessor crimes against
society. Tins is because the general eon.
duet of the accused does not warrant epe-
cial guardianship during :inprisoninent
before trial. The five men apparently
have no vicious tendeneies and are com-
panionable and sociable with the others.,
Of the five, Arthur Mehner is the meet
thought of by the attendants. In fact
'his conduct is such that he heel :betel
made what is termed a "hall man," as-
sisting in various small duties inside the
cage and this gives him liberty from cell
confinement from 8 o'clock in the morn-
ing until 5 o'clock at night,
Hodson Unconcerned,
liodson seems the leaet concerned of
all, The crime which he is accused of
committing was the stabbing to death of
Peter Forrestel as he sat in front of his
saloou at North Division and Elm streets
several weeks ago and few moments lat-
er a murderous attack on Mite Mity
Smith. The latter, although frightfully
cut has recovered. Hodson, it is declared,
tvae rendered temporarily insane through
jealousy of Forrestel in connection with
the Smith svoman. Since his arrest he
has maintained Out he has no recollec-
tion of the event of that early morn-
1)1(1k,
iodson is of splendid, physique and
good uatured in countenance. Yester-
day afternoon ho sat surrounded by
Lour or five other prisoners. He was
laughing and joking and apparently
°aloha° despite the stu.rouncluige and
the serious charge hovering over him.
.fie has many 'visits front friends but
these do not include women, His
friends furnish him with money and
other delicacies.
The fight for his Iife will begin next
month when the grand jury takee up
his case. Ms defence is to be in-
sanity. Ile has already been visited
by an insanity expert. Among his
friends it is claimed that at a prev-
ious period of his life a commission
had declared him of um -amid mind.
This cannot be traced authentieally
act it is vouched for by thcete Who
claim to know and if true may have
an importent bearing on the final dis-
position of his case even before it goes
to a jury. The evidence against hod -
son of course is almost conclusive.
He was arrested with the bloody knife,
which sent one and nearly sent another
to death, in his Lame and it
als.o understood that an eye -witness
to the murder of Forrestel is under
the control of the district attorney.
Insanity would seem to be his oely
chance of escape from the ehair.
A Sensational Case.
The case. of Arthur Meitner promises
to be evtreinely sensational. He is
front East Aurora, nod is accused of
fatally shooting Dwight Bayer, who
was sitting with his family at his
home in East Aurora. Emotional in-
sanity will undoubtedly be interposed
as a defense. Attentione of the mur-
dered man to aleltner's wife efter hav-
ing' been warned to desist. aro alleged
to have been the cause of Meitner
taking the law into his own hands.
Considerable money will be at the die,
poen1 of the alchnee defense, and 117
will be a hard-fought case. A signifi-
cant feature of this ease is the feet

BURNED THE WRECKAGP,
Several Niagara Falls Families ecure
Meat Without Cost.
Niagara Fallss.Aug. 18.-A gang of
Grand Trunk lbtilwey employees began
to throw the pile of meat left from the
wreck of the refrigerator train on the
steel arch bridge into the river. When
the management of the Queen Victoria
Niagara leans Park, which controls the
1011118 below the cliff of the Gorge, heard
of this action they promptly forbid it,
and sent policemen to see that the river
was not further polluted. The railway
company then secured a.large quantity
of inflammable oil, and gave orders that
Om wreckage and meat should be piled
up, drenched with oil and the whole
burned.
Some of the meat was not damaged,
and several persons went down and se-
cured hams and quarters of lamb and
mutton. As the meat was paseing
through Canada in bond from one United
States point to another the customs offi-
cers collected duty on all that was sal-
vaged and made use of.

BRITONS EAT MORE MEAT.
Great Increase in the Consumption in
Twenty Years.
London, Aug. 18. ---Some remarkable
figures regarding the minium in which
Great Britain's food supply has Mang-
an given in a yellow book issued this
week by the Board of Agriculture. The
board points out that over $1,000,000,-
000 worth of food was imported Net
year from America and the colonies.
"The greatest relative increase," says
the repent, "has taken place in imports
of meat, of which we consume Wien as
much per head as we did less than
twenty years ago. This is especially
significant in view of the fact that there
is no evidence of any diminution in the
home supplies of meat. The consump-
tion of imported breadstuffs. has increase
ed in a much less degree, notwithstand-
ing the reduction of home supplies.
"The figures appear to suggest that
the proportion of meat to bread it, the
national dietary has substantially in-
creased, or, in other worde, that the
average standard of living bas risen."
PEARL FAMINE.
Petition Government to Protect Mussels
From Ruthless Fishermen.
Now York, Aug. 19. -Pearl dealers of the
Malden Lane district are starting a movement
to save the western pearl fisheries from de-
struotion threatened because there is now no
restriction on the fishermen who are taking
from the rivers tons of mussels from which
only a iniV pearls are obtained. It Is pro-
ppsed also to restock some of the rivers,
eastern and western, from which the mussels
hew) been exterminated. A. 'petition was sent
to Washington recently asking for an investi-
gation of present conditions affecting the
mussels in the western rivers and the feasi-
bility of establishing hatcheries in which
the fish may be 'propagated, as In the case
of various kinds of food fish.
The men in the movement have received
assurances that a report on this subject
will be presented after an investigation of
the present fisheries is made. The inquiry
already Is under way. The dealers hope to
obtain by Federal or 'States laws, or both,
fishers so as to protect that mussels from
what Is termed promiscuous slsughter.
The fisherman prefer to soli znussel sheits
to the pearl button factories and many fine
Pearls are destroyed in the process of heating
the mussels to get them out of the shells.
