Publishers' Press Superior, "Wis.. Jan. 12. A paper here prints a lengthy report by the commissioner of internal revenue, Yerkes, made at the special request of the president as the result of charges made against the Yerkes de partment. Th2 paper charged that the Yerkes department was working gainst the law for distilling denatur ed alcohol, and further charged that the law is no good any way, because it compelled a distiller to produce at least 500 gallons a day. In his report to the president Yerkes contradicts both these points. He declares there is absolutely no limit, that a still may produce five gallons or 5,000, that the smaller distiller is placed under no disadvantage under the law. He de clares he never attempted to head off legislation in this respect but, on the other hand, has been supporting the move for four years. Yerkes says that his department has, not hedged the law around with regulations that are prohibitive to farmers, and furthermore pledges the support of the department for obtaining further legis lature that experience may show to be necessary to small distillers.

UNDER THE SEA'S RESTLESS WAVES

j Historic Waters of Hampton Roads to be Scene of Odd Submarine Cruise. TRIAL TRIP OF UNIQUE SHIP VESSEL THAT HAS ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION FROM THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD O GIVE PERFORMANCE AT JAMESTOWN. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 11. There will be many queer craft in the historic waters of Hampton Roads during the coming summer and among them will be one of recent invention which will attract almost as much attention from the scientific world as the ships of the air which are to have a prominent place in the attractions of the Jamestown Exposition. This odd vessel of the sea is a submarine cruiser and as many Exposition visitors may wish to visit the bottom of the Roads in one of these vessels, a description of the first trip made by a boat of this kind, may be interesting. This unique performance was made possible by an invitation from Captain George M. Evans, skipper of the submarine cruiser. Lake, the largest craft of the kind ever built, to take a cruise in the boat on its first submerged run. The run took place between the hours of ten and twelve and was successful but exciting. Submerged to a depth of about 35 feet, the Lake cruised along the bottom for about one mile at the rate of six miles an hour. The boat answered both the vertical and horizontal rudders perfectly. Standing in the conning tower with one eye glued to the omniscope. Captain Evans worked the wheel that sent the Lake np and down, starboard and port, at will. Only the limited depth of the water kept the Lake from going deeper. During the trial the temperature of the boat averaged about 92 degrees. In spite of the fact that all of the hatches were tightly battened down to prevent the admission of water, the use of the compressed air tanks was unnecessary. Captain Evans said that compressed air was only used after the boat has been down for two or three hours. He said that the Lake could stay down for two weeks If she were properly provisioned, without causing any illness among those inside. The Lake left her deck at the Newport News shipj'ard, where she was built, about ten o'clock in the morn ing. After cruising about in the river for some time, Captain Evans gave orders to close down all the hatches and to open the forward and after tanks which meant that the Lake and her human cargo were about to pay a visit to the oysters. The boat quickly began to settle until her buoy ancy amounted to but 500 pounds. At this stage. Captain Evans said the boat could be lifted by a man's hand The descent was so gradual that it was not noticeable. But for the queer clock that registered the depth to which the boat had descended would have been impossible to tell whether the Lake was on the bottom or on the surface.. The boat was sub merged by means of hydroplanes along the sides of the vessel and horizontal rudder. When the depth clock registered thirty five feet, Captain Evans, who was then steering by compass, the top of the projecting om niscope being entirely submerged, decided that this was deep enough as the bottom must have been near. The Lake's nose was headed down the riv er and out of the depth of shipping as Captain Evans had no desire to bring up under an ocean going steamer or a seven masted schooner. After the Lake had traveled about a mile under tne surrace ine master had a curiosity to see what was going on up above. He tilted the horizontal rudder upward and the vessel began to rise as she had sank, on an even keel. With the top of the omniscope just clearing the surface, a sm'all fish ing smack was discovered anchored just ahead. The colored fisherman took one look at the queer looking monster of the deep moving swiftly toward him, hauled tip anchor more quickly than he had ever done before, and made a bee line for the shore. After this test was ended the boat came to the surface and was headed for shore. This was the last trial trip as well as the first; for the Lake left the next week under her own power for Bridgeport, Connecticut, the home of the inventor, Simon Lake, after whom the boat was named. There was practically no danger in this submarine expedition to the oc cupants of the craft; as the boat could not have failed to return to the sur face after the tanks were emptied of water. In case of accident the Lake's five ton keel could have been dropped. and then the boat's buoyancy would have been certain to have floated her. n the run beneath the surface motor power supplied by storage batteries was used. The gasoline engines were employed only to - propel the boat while cruising above the surface. That's the house the doctor built The biggest house you see; Thank goodness he don't get our money.

FEUDS AMONG THE INDIANS SHOSHONES AND ARAPHOES IN WYOMING CULTIVATE MUTUAL HATRED AND COMMIT MANY MURDERS. Publishers' Press.J Lander, Wyo., Jan. 12. George Terry, head of the Shoshone Indian council, was murdered as he came out of the council on the Indian reserva tlon. He was knocked down with a war club and his body cut to pieces with knives. The murder is supposed to be the outcome of a family feud. No arrests have been made, but suspicion points strongly to several promi nent Indians. Terry was a half-breed, son of the former famous Mormon blsnop, Terry, of Utah. He was a squawman and lived on the Shoshone reservation more than 25 years. There are several factions amonj, the Indians, and as Terry's barn and horses were burned recently by a mysterious fire, evidently of incendi ary origin, it is believed the crime was committed by some of them. The proposed abandonment of Fort Washakie, It is believed by leading citizens, will result in grave disturb ances among the Indians, who have been held in restraint by awe of sol diers. The ShQshones and Arapahoes are sworn enemies, and there are fac tions in both tribes ready to fight at any time. Rev. John Roberts, for 30 years a missionary among the Shoshones, fears for the Indians when troops are removed and the post abandoned. The Shoshones greatly outnumber the Arapahoes, from whom they differ greatly in origin, religion and customs, and whom they regard as usurpers. COLLEGE GRADS ARRESTED Chicago Students are .
