Three Defendants in the Steel Trust Suit Case

LOS ANGELES REVIEW. LOS ANGELES, qal., Oct. 30. The last warship of the Pacific fleet arrived here today. This completes the list of vessels that will take part in the naval review scheduled for the next three days, and brings the total tonnage of the twenty-four vessels of war up to 116,245. The fleet includes practically every vessel in the navy, aside from those that will participate In the big review at New York. The fleet, as well as the town, has

been, hung with flags and bunting. Thousands of visiting crafts, yachts, and commercial boats from all parts of the Pacific coast, crowd the bay for the review. Every craft capable of

carrying passengers has been requisitioned and seats on board water craft for the day of the naval parade are at a premium. The police report the conduct of the hundreds of sailors and marines who have been visiting Los Angeles on shore leave, as most orderly. The last of these will be rounded up tonight for duty on the battleships during the review. The twenty-four ships comprising the Pacific fleet now lying off Los Angeles, are: Battleship Oregon. Tonnage 10,288. Armored Cruisers California, South Dakota, Maryland, West Virginia and Colorado. Total tonnage, 68,400.

DUST IN THE AIR.

WANT LARGER FLEET. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Deductions made today by those well versed In naval affairs indicate that the com

ing naval mobilization at New York and Los Angeles, Oct 30 to Nov. 2, will probably be the last assembly of warhips that will show the United States of America standing second on the list of great maritime powers. According to the present rate of development, the shipbuilding plans of the powers will bring Germany into second place in three years. Navy officials state that another mobilization, of a magnitude to compare with the coming one, would probably not be made within that time. It is thought in official circles that this fact will play a prominent part In the "greater navy" advocates' campaigns for more battleships at 'the coming session of congress. To keep Its lead in the ranee for ranking place on the seas, congress must double the present program of .warship construction.

Its Influenoe Upon the Sun's Heat In the Atmosphere. When the air is very thick and hazy it mny contain floating dust particles to the number of from 10.000 to 20,000

in every cubic centimeter, while a cubic centimeter of very clear air mny contain only from a dozen to a few hundred particles. An English observer's data indicate that there is a relation between the quantity of dust and the temperature of the air. A great amount of dust, it is thought, increases the temperature In the daytime and checks the fall of tem

perature at night.

The reason is that the presence of dust serves as an obstruction to the

free radiation of heat through the air. The sunbeams pass through very pure,

clear air without lending much heat to

It, and at night the heat received by the ground during the day readily escapes through the same air, but if the atmosphere is heavily laden with dust the sun's rays are partly arrested by the particles which, becoming heated, in tarn warm the air, and in like manner heat radiated from the earth at night is retained in the hazy layers of air In contact with Its surface. Without Its atmosphere, which serves as a coverlet to protect it against the fearful cold of space, the surface ol the earth would be frozen like that of the airless moon. But the data gathered by reliable observers show thai the atmospheric blanket wrapped around our planet varies in its powei to retain heat in proportion to ths amount of dust particles it contains.

DEATH BY DROWNING. 8inking and Rising Depend on the Vater In the Lungs, A group of old salts at Sailor's Snug Harbor were discussing the popular belief that a drowning person must come to the surface of the water three times before be cau possibly drown. "Well," said Captain Tom Morgan, "there is little ground for that supposition. The truth is, a drowning per son may sink the first time, never to rise again, or he may, as in the ma Jority of cases, rise three times before he sinks forever. "It all depends on the quantity of water that he swallows when he sinks and the size of his lungs. The human body In life naturally flonts wbile tlx1 lungs are Inflated. So long as one keeps bis bead above the water be cat; float with very little effort "But as soon as the person sinks he gulps down a let of water. If after he has swallowed this water be has any air left in bis lungs be will un doubtedly rise again and will continue to sink and rise until all the air has been worked out of his lungs. "In most cases the frightened victim swallows enough water when he sinks the first time to leave him exhausted, but as there Is still air left in the lungs he soon finds himself on the surface again. Each time be sinks, however, the supply of air in his lungs grows less until ultimately there Is nothing left to support him. when he will drown." New York Herald.

" 'Yes, madame. they are,' he replied and It's the same every day.' " The writer thinks that "losses" is scarcely the right word to use. She relates the case of another Englishwoman who was robbed of $1.C00 in the

same way as herself. The victim actually caught a woman's hand in her bag and she held on until some detectives arrived, but the thief had already passed the notes to an accomplice, and she was allowed to go. Cor. New York Sun.

BREATH OF A WOLF.

Dubious Work. Many years ago when Colonel Frobel of Atlanta was called on to gauge the water in a neighboring stream he one day bad an amusing encounter with an old farmer who came along on a wood cart drawn by an ox. When he reached tue colorfel he stopped the cart and inquired peremptorily: "What on 'arth are them men doin' thar?" "They are trying to find out how many bucketfuis of water run down this creek In twenty-four hours," said the colonel. "Mister, are that a true fact?" asked the farmer. "Yes; that's Just what it is." said the colonel. "Well, mister." said the old man in a tone of much disapproval and anxiety, "it mougbt be all right, but it do appear to me such doin's are onconstitoo

Hero's a Persian Remedy if a Bone

Sticks In Your Throat.

A new and ingenious remedy for a bone in the throat will be found in an account of a Persian pilgrimage published under the title of "The Glory of the Shia World." The doctor was Mlrza Sadik Khan, chief physician of

the vakil ul mulk: "The patient was brought in on the verge of death, and when his condition had been described the learned physician stroked his Ion? beard and exclaimed: 'By Allah! This case would be hopeless except for me, whose perception is phenomenal. The cause of this man's state is a bone lodged in the throat so firmly that no efforts avail to dislodge it. Therefore either the man must quickly die or the bone must be dissolved, and by what agency? Thanks be to Allah. I am a physician and a Kermani and have observed that wolves, who live on raw meat and bones, never suffer any calamity such as that of the patient. Therefore it is clear to me that the breath of a wolf dissolves bones and that if one breathes down the throat of a patient the bone will be dissolved.' , "Infinite are the marvels of Allah, for when a wolf belonging to a buffoon was brought In and breathed on j the patient suddenly a fit of choking ensued and the bone, dissolved without doubt by the breath of the wolf.

was loosened and extracted."

NEW YORK, Oct. 30. Heart failure caused the death Sunday of Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New York World, on board his yacht Liberty in the harbor of Charleston, S. C. after

an illness of two days. The news was received here in a telegram from his secretary. Mr. Pulitzer, accompanied by his younger son, Herbert, left New York aboard his yacht October 18, intending to take a leisurely voyage to Jekyl Island, near Brunswick, Ga., where had a winter home. Aside from a heavy cold which had prevented him from taking his daily drives in Central park, Mr. Pulitzer was in his usual health when he left this city. He was taken ill on Friday and the yacht put into Charleston. His illness proving to be serious, a message was sent to his wife, who left New York for Charleston yesterday, arriving shortly before he died. The body was brought to New York today where funeral arrangements will be made. Pulitzer's Career. Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor and publisher of the New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, was born in Hungary April 10, 1847 and received a good classical education by private tutors and at the Vienna university. After a few years of traveling in France and England he came to this country in 1864, entered the Union army as a cavalryman in a Missouri regiment and served to the end of the war. Then he returned to St. Louis, where he made a precarious living by serving as waiter in a cafe. His ability was discovered by Carl Schurg and Mr. Pretorious, the owners of the Westliche Post, a German daily published in that city and they made him an offer to become.a member of their editorial staff. In rapid succession he became city editor, managing editor

and part-proprietor. In 1887 Pulitzer

bought the St. Louis Dispatch and, combining it with the St. Louis Post, formed the Post-Dispatch. While con

ducting that paper he studied law and

was admitted to practice. In 1869 he

was elected member of the Missouri

State legislature and soon became prominent in Democratic state national

politics. He was a member of the

Missouri Constitutional Convention in 1879 and contributed political editori

als and a series of European letters to the New York Sun. In the earlv 80's

he came to New York and bought the

New York World on May, 10, 1883. Two years later he was elected to congress to represent the 9th New York district in the 49th conn-ess. He

resigned, however, after having serv

ed a few months.

Although at first a Liberal Republi

can in politics, and a strong supporter of Horace Greeley for the presidency, he soon thereafter became a Democrat

and, in 1876 supported and delivered

campaign speeches for Tilden. He

Was First "Yellow." After he had become the proprietor of the New York World. Mr. Pulitzer bent all his ability and tremendous energy to the development of his paper, determined to make it a great and important journal, and the mouthpiece of the masses. His methods did not. at first meet with the approval of the people. At first only the lower classes welcomed the "yellow journalism" which Pulitzer inaugurated in his paper, but in the course of time even the more conservative elements became reconciled with the new tendency and accepted it as a nw phase in the development of American newspaper life. Mr. Pulitzer always took great interest in educational matters and contributed liberally from his wealth to enable bright, but poor young men to acquire a good education and a fair start in life. In 1S89 he established ten annual collegiate scholarships for the poorest, brightest and most deserving boy graduates of New York public schools, giving to the winner in open competition $250 annually for

seven Tears, to pay for the expense of a preparatory and college coursjs, He also gave to Columbuia universir $100,000 for free tuition to winners fl prise contests and established thrru scholarships in Barnard college. Probably the most important 1 his various educational gifts was ths) donation in 1903 to Columbia univers ty of $1,000,000 for the establishment and maintenance of a College of Jouf

schools of law, medicine, engineer

and architecture. He also agreed

Mr. Pulitzer married Miss Kr1

Davis in Washington, D. C, shorter after his return from the West and she bore him two sons, Joseph Puli zer, Jr., and Ralph Pulitzer. The latter had an excellent newspaper training! under the direction of his father and showed such marked ability, that hft father, in 1907. entrusted him with the management of the New York World and the presidency of the St Lou$

CATARRH OF STOMACH

Indigestion and Stomach Agony

Quickly Ended If you went to thirty doctors and paid each his fee for a prescription for indigestion or stomach misery it is ten chances to one you wouldn't get such a good prescription as the one from which MI-O-NA stomach tablets are made. How can such a thing be? you naturally ask. Simply because the man who wrote the prescription from which MI-O-NA tablets are made knows more about stomach diseases than 96 per cent of all the physicians in America, and he gets paid for knowing. And when you can get a large box of tablets made from this doctor's prescription for only 50 cents, are you going to continue to suffer? Sold by Leo H. Fihe and druggists everywhere.
