A. ISSUED BY THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS COMPANY [Copyright, 1910, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] PREFACE. Among other matters of special interest contained in the present issue of The Daily News Almanac and Year-Book mention may be made of the following: The new postal savings bank law of the United States. This is regarded as one of the most important pieces of legis- lation in recent years, for which reason the text of the act is given in full. The amendments to the interstate-commerce law, includ- ing provisions for a commerce court to supplement the work of the commission. Details of the old-age and industrial pension systems of various countries of the world. In view of proposed state and national legislation on this subject it is believed that the infor- mation given is timely and suggestive. Results of the thirteenth decennial census of the United States, showing the growth of population in the various states and territories and in the principal cities. The county popula- tion will be found in the election tables. State, congressional and local elections in 1910, showing a marked reversal of political sentiment in many parts of the country. These are but a few of the many new and old features which should make The Daily News Almanac and Year-Book for 1911 a reference work of exceptional value. It may also be noted that in the effort to add to the general usefulness and comprehensiveness of the book it has been found necessary to increase its size by thirty-two pages, making the total in this issue 640.

The Gregorian year 1911 corresponds to the following eras. From July 4 the 130th year of the independence of tile United States. The year 8020 of the Greek church beginning Jan. 14. The year 2571 (nearly) of the Japanese era begin- ning Jan. 30. The year 7419-20 of the Byzantine era; year 7420 begins Sept. 1. The first day of January, 1911, is the 2,419.038th day since the beginning of the Julian period. CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES. Dominical or Sunday letter.. A Solar cycle Golden number 12 Roman indiction Epact (moon's age, Jan. 1).. 30 Julian period EXPLANATORY NOTE The Dominical letter or letters (two for leap year), or Sunday letters. Indicate the day of the year on which the first Sunday occurs, the first seven letters of the al- phabet being used. Thus, for 1910, the Dominical letter is B. the second letter of the alphabet, and hence the second day of the year will De the first Sunday of the year. In leap years two letters are used, the first being for January and February, and the latter, being the preceding letter, an- swers for the last ten months, in order to main- tain the cycle. The rule for obtaining the Do- minical letter for any year is somewhat compli- cated and for that reason is omitted here. The Golden Number is that number of a cycle of nine- teen years which shows how many years have elapsed since the new moon fell on Jan. 1, for in nearly nineteen years the solar and lunar years nearly come together. The chief use of this cycle is in fixing the date of Easter, and in this same connection is used the Epact. The Solar Cycle is the number of years that have elapsed since the days of the week fell on the same days of the year, or when there will, therefore, be a recur- 6624 Dionysian period 240 Jewish lunar cycle 9 rence of the Dominical or Sunday Letter. This would be the case every seven years but for leap year, hence four times seven is the cycle, or twenty-eight years. It is the remainder found by adding nine to the year and dividing the sum by twenty-eight. The Roman Indiction is a cycle of fifteen years and is of no utility except to chro- nologers. It is the remainder found by adding three to the year and dividing by fifteen. The Julian Period is a cycle of 7,980 years and is the product of the three cycles. Golden Number (19), Solar Cycle (28) and Roman Indiction (15). and hence shows the time when these cycles will co- incide, or begin at the same time. The first of this cycle will be completed in the year 2267; it Is the year + 4713. The Dionysian Period is a cycle of 532 years and is called the great Paschal cycle, being the product of a completed solar and lunar cycle (28X19). It is the remainder found by adding 457 to the year and dividing by 532, and with the Julian Period is chiefly used by chronologers. The Jewish Lunar Cycle is always three less than the Golden Number and Is used by the Jews in fixing the time of their festivals. CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND TEAR-BOOK FOR 1911.

NOTE To ascertain any day of the week first took in the table for the year required and under tlie months are figures which refer to the corre- sponding figures at the head of the columns of days below. For example: To know on what day of the week July 4 was in the year 1895, in the table of years look for 1895, and In a parallel line, under July, is figure 1, which directs to column 1, in which it will be seen that July 4 falls on Thursday. *1752 same as 1772 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 2. From Sept. 14 to Dec. 31 same as 1780 (Sept. 3-13 were omitted). This Calendar is from Whitaker's Lon- don Almanack, with some revisions. CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. THE PLANETS. MERCURY (B) will be brightest: (a) As an evening star April 1-10 and Dec. 4-10 setting about In. 15m. after the sun, being at greatest angular distance east of the sun April 14 (19) and Dec. 7 (21). At the April date he will be in X directly south of Alpha Arietis and the- lire of stars in the horn of the Ram, and in December in ? near the end of the handle of the milkmaid's dipper. On April 10 b will be 4 south of 8 and on Sept. 24 B will be 6 north of 9. (b) As a morning star Feb. 1-6 and Sept. 23-30, rising about Ih. 15m. before the sun, being at greatest angular distance west of the sun Feb. 2 (25) and Sept. 25 (18). When brightest in Feb- * ruary the milkmaid's dipper in ;* will be about 10 west of him, and In September the Sickle In fi will be about 15 degrees west of him. The absence oi the moon on the" February and Sep- tember periods will render those dates still more favorable. VENUS (9), the "queen of beauty," and whose sign is a looking glass, will be a most attractive celestial object nearly all of the year. Twice she will be at fcer very brightest first, Aug. 8-12, as an evening star, and again after passing between the earth and sun (inferior conjunction) as a morn- ing star, Oct. 21-25. (See Table of the Planets and Chart of Visibility of the Planets.) Venus not only attains a greater degree of brilliancy than any of the other planets, but at such times, and for about 'a month before and after, she will show a large crescent phase like the moon between new and the quarters. At the October date she will shine with unusual splendor, in the absence of the moon, and will cast a distinct shadow. While the annexed figure shows all the various phases through which the planet passes, the telescope shows the boundaries away from the sun to be irregular. The light will blend off and the margins will be more or less jagge'd, owing to the refraction of the sunlight in the planet's atmosphere and the irreg- ularities of her surface, mountains, etc. The dis- covery of theso phases was the work of the first telescope in the hands of Galileo, though their existence was believed earlier.

She reappears, shortly after her conjunc- tion, west of the sun as a morning star and again widens her distance from the sun until Nov. 26, being brightest Oct. 22. Thus It will be seen that ehe may bo at her brightest twice in one year, but never when farthest from the sun as In the case of the superior planets. Mars starts in the year as a morning star and gradually grows in brightness as he recedes from the sun until Nov. 25, when he will be at oppo- sition, or 180 from the sun, rising at sunset and shining all night. He will begin to be seen in the evening hours Aug. 9, and by about Dec. 1 he may very properly be called an "all-night star," appearing equally in the evening and morning hours. Name.

The force of gravity at the surface of the sun Is twenty- seven times greater than that at the surface of the earth. The sun rotates on Its axis once In 25.3 days at the equator, but the time Is longer at the higher latitudes, from which fact It Is presumed that the sun Is not solid, at least as to Its surface. THE EARTH AND THE MOON. Earth The equatorial diameter of the earth Is SUN AND PLANETS. 7,926.5 miles and the polar diameter 7,899.5 miles; equatorial circumference, 25,000. The linear ve- locity of the rotation of the earth on its ails at the equator is 24,840 miles a day, or 1,440 feet a second; Its velocity in Its orbit around the sun is approximately nineteen miles per second, the length of the orbit being about 560,000,000 miles. The superficial area of the earth accord- Ing to Encke, the astronomer, is 197,108,580 square miles, of which two-thirds Is water and one- third land. The planetary mass Is about 256,- 000.000 cubic miles. Moon The moon has a diameter of 2,162 miles, a circumference of about 6,800 miles and a sur- face area of 14,685,000 square miles. Her mean distance from the earth is 23S.840 miles. The vol- ume of the moon Is about l-49th that of the earth and the density about 3 2-5 that of water. The time from new moon to new moon is 29 days 12 hours 44.05 minutes. The moon has no atmos- phere and no water and Is a dead world. VELOCITY OP LIGHT. Light travels at the rate of 186,300 miles per second. It requires 8 minutes and 8 seconds for light to come from the sun to the earth. 26 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAE-BOOK FOE 1911.

NOTE The moon will run "high" from "lowest" to "highest," and run "low" from "highest" to "lowest." The full moon will be highest of the year nt meridian passage Dec. 16 and lowest June 22. She will begin to run lower March 21 and de- crensc in altitude until June 22 and then increase (run higher) until Dec. 21, after which she will gradually get lower until June 22. This is be- cause the full moon must always be on the oppo- site side of the earth from the sun, and hence when the sun is lowest In declination the moon must be highest and when the sun is highest the moon must be lowest. The inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic (sun's apparent path) being 23% and that of the moon being 5 to the ecliptic it follows that the total swing from highest to lowest must be (23Vj-i5) X2=57, CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. 27 THE BRIGHTEST STARS.

It is obvious that to express the time of rising and setting of the sun and moon in standard time would limit the usefulness of such data to the single point or place for which it was computed, while In mean time it is practically correct for places as widely separated as the width of tbe continent (see note at bottom of February cal- endar), and persons having obtained the mean time by the rising or setting of the sun or moon may easily ascertain the correct standard time of any event by making use of the following ta- ble and map: To obtain standard time, add Standard Correc- or tlon, City. division.

The sun's rising and setting are for the upper limb, corrected for parallax and refraction. In the. case of the moon no correction is needed, as in the sun, for "par- allax and refraction": with her they are of an opposite nature and just balance each other. The figures given, therefore, are for the moon's cen- ter on a true horizon such as the ocean affords. The calculations in each of the geographical divisions of each calendar page will apply witn sufficient accuracy to all places In the contiguous North American zones Indicated by the headings of the divisions. The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary (stand- ard) divisions of time in the United States. The plus and minus marks on either side of the me- ridian lines show whether It is necessary to add to or subtract from the mean time of points east or west of these lines to arrive at actual standard time. Example: Chicago is 2% east of the 90th meridian, therefore Chicago local time 2% x 4 = 10 to be subtracted from mean time to = stand- ard time, and for Boston standard (eastern) time, 16m. must be subtracted from mean time.

HALLEY'S COMET. HaJley's comet, which was first seen on Its recent approach to the earth by Prof. Max Wolff of Heidelberg, Germany, Sept. 11, 1909, and was suc- cessfully photographed by Prof. S. W. Burnham of the Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., Sept. 15, 1909, could be seen with ordinary opera glasses in March, 1910. It was not, however, un- til the latter part of April that it could be seen with the naked eye. Prom that time until May 18 it continued to increase in brilliancy and was a striking object in the heavens during the hours Immediately preceding sunrise. It was seen a lit- RALLEY'S COMET AS SEEN MAY 6, 1910. Prom a photograph taken by Prof. E. E. Barnard at the Yerkes observatory, Williams Bay, Wis. Exposure of forty minutes from 2:40 a. in. to 3:20 a. in. tie north of east In the eastern sky, the head pointing in the direction of the sun. In the smoke- obscured atmospheres of large cities like Chicago and New York the view was not satisfactory either then or later, except on rare occasions, and many persons were disappointed at the appearance of the comet. Elsewhere the sight was a fine one and was witnessed nightly by thousands in all parts of the country. Some astronomers were i- clined to think that the comet had diminished in size and brilliancy since its appearance seventy- five years before, but others were of a contrary opinion. Much speculation waa indulged in as to what would happen when the earth passed through tho comet's tail about May 18 and stories about deadly cyanogen go.s and showers of meteors caused some terror among the uninformed. Newspapers print- ed columns of interviews with astronomers and other scientists on the subject and the public gen- erally was deeply interested in the matter. Great preparations were made at the various observY- tories for the event, but the results, from a scientific as well as popular point of view, were disappointing. Nothing of a startling nature hap- pened. An auroral display and a few meteors were reported, but these were not out of the ordi- nary. Experts differed in their opinions as to just when the earth passed through the comet's tail, nnd some of them held that owing to an unexpect- ed curvature of the tail the earth missed coming in contact with the gaseous substance altogether. At the Yerkes observatory the astronomers were quoted as saying that the tail was much spread out, causing the earth to occupy about thirty hours to make the passage through it instead of four or five hours as originally calculated. At the Lick ob- eervatory the tail of the comet was seen in the cast on the morning of the 18th and the same fact was rej>orted from other points. This was ex- plained by some on the theory that the length of the tail and its curvature caused it to extend aronnd the globe, making the end visible in the eastern sky while the head and other end were in the west. For some days after the transit the tail seemed 1o have disappeared partly if not wholly, but it soon reappeared and in the latter days of May and the first part of June the comet and its appendage were clearly visible in the western sky just after sunset. In some localities where the atmosphere was clear the spectacle was even more striking than that presented when the comet was seen in the eastern sky. The orbit of the celestial visitor caused it to recede rapidly and by the end of June it was no longer visible without the use of telescopes. COMET A OF 1910. On the morning of Jan. 17, 1910, a new comet was discovered by an observer named Drake at Johannesburg, South Africa. It was five or ten degrees south, southwest of the sun, which it was rapidly approaching, and was visible to the naked eye. Other observers in various parts of the world found it easily on the following nights, those at Williams Bay, Wis., seeing it Jan. 19. It was photographed readily, as it was sufficiently bright to be seen without the use of magnifying glasses. Astronomers at Flagstaff, Ariz., reported that the comet showed light hydrocarbon bands with a pair of Intensely bright sodium lines. The tail appeared to be about forty-three degress in length. The comet was \isible in the western sky until the first part of February, when it swiftly disap- peared. It was not Identified as having been seen before 1910. Meteorites were reported Feb. 4 to have fallen near Florence, Italy. A large meteor also fell near Quincy, 111. Jan. 28 the observatory at Manila. P. I., discov- ered a new comet near Venus. Feb. 23 Prof. Pidoux of the Gemva observatory in Switzerland claimed to have found a new comet near Halley's anrt traveling much faster. Aug. 8, the Rev. Joel H. Metcalf of Taunton, Mass., discovered a comet of the eighth magnitude. AMERICAN LOSSES IN SPANISH AND PHILIP- PINE WARS. From wounds or disease. Officers. En. men.

MESSAGE ON INTERSTATE LAW. Jan. 7, 1910, President Taft sent to congress a ial message recommending certain amendments jj the interstate-commerce law and suggesting the deral incorporation of industrial companies in dor to make effective the laws against trusts nl monopolies. To bring about a systematic il scientidc enforcement of the commerce law .'ie (commended the establishment of a court of the initod States, composed of five judges designated l>r such purpose from among the Circuit judges. * re known as the "United States Court 'of ommerce." such court to be clothed with ex- usivo original jurisdiction over the following as-ses of cases: !1. All cases for the enforcement, otherwise than aM indication i:iid collection of a forfeiture or Dally, or by Infliction of criminal punishment, of an order of the interstate-commerce commission other than for the payment of money. 2. All cases brought to enjoin, set aside, annul or suspend any order or requirement of the intet' state-commerce commission. 3. All such cases as under section 3 of the act of Feb. 19, 1903, known as the "Elkins act," are authorized to be maintained in a Circuit court of the" United States. 4. .All such mandamus proceedings as under the provisions of section 20 or section 23 of the inter- state-commerce law are authorized to be main- tained in a Circuit court of the United States. The president further recommended that the in- terstate-commerce law be so amended) as to author- ize the commission to act on its own initiative as well as upon the conlplaint of an individual in in- vestigating the fairness of any existing rate or practice and also to give It the power to pass upon the classification of commodities for the purpose of fixing rates. It should also be empowered, whenever any proposed increase of rates is filed, at oi-ce to enter upon an investigation Into the reasonableness of such change, and, if necessary, to postpone the effective date of such Increase for a period not exceeding thirty days; if the increase is found to be unreasonable, the commission may then forbid it or fix the maximum beyond which it shall not be made. Legislation to prevent the overissue of stocks and bonds by interstate carriers and the further ac- quisition by railroad companies of the stock of competing lines was recommended. The president also suggested the passage of laws for additional safety appliances on freight trains and to facili- tate the bringing of suits by employes against In- terstate-commerce employers. In order to secure the compliance of the trusts nnd business combinations with the antitrust statute and to offer them a. means of changing the character, organization and extent of their busi- ness so as to bring it within the lines of the law, under federal control and supervision, without creating great financial disturbance, the president recommended the enactment by congress of a gen- eral law for the formation of corporations to en- gage in trade and commerce between the states. Such law, he suggested, should be drawn so as to protect the corporations from undue Interference by the states and regulate their activities In such manner as to prevent the recurrence, under na- tional auspices, of those abuses which had arisen under state control. CONTEST OVER HOUSE RULES. Wednesday, March 16, 1910, Representative Crumpacker of Indiana called up in the house a Joint resolution >>nlars:ing the scope of inquiry of the schedules relating to the thirteenth decennial census so as to secure information respecting the nationality and mother tongue of all persons born In foreign countries or of foreign parentage. Ob- jection to the consideration of the resolution was made on til? ground that it was not in order on calendar Wednesday, when no other business than the call of the committees could be considered. Mr. Crumpacker maintained that the resolution was privileijjd under the constitution and that therefore It was In order on any day. In this po- sition he was sustained by Speaker Cannon, who, however, was overruled by the house by a vote of 183 to 111. Oc the following day. March 17, Mr. Crumpacker again called the resolution up for consideration and the same point of order was made against it. The speaker instead of ruling submitted to the house the question: Is the joint resolution called up by the gentleman from Indiana in order as a ques- tion of privilege, the rule prescribing the order of business to the contrary notwithstanding? On this a demand for the previous question was made, but the bouse by a vote of yeas 137 and nays 142 refused to order it. The house then by a vote of 202 yeas to 72 nays declared that the resolution was in order and it was passed. On the same day Representative George W. Nor- ris of Nebraska prevented a resolution, "privileged by the constitution," to amend the rules of the CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1911. house so aa to make the committee on rules consist of fifteen members, nine to be chosen by the ma- jority party and six by the minority party, and ex- clutlirg the swaker from membership on the com- mittee. Thi.; proposition, which was supported by ihe so-called 'insurgent" republicans and the dem- ocrats, caused a heated controversy, lasting from Thursday until Saturday aiternoon. It was main- tained by the advocates of the resolution that un- der the old system the speaker, through a commit- tee on rules appointed and dominated by himself, exercised "inordinate and tyrannical power" In shaping or preventing legislation, and that the real question at issue was whether that power should be limited or contirued. It was further argued that a committee on rules elected In the manner proposed would be more truly representa- tive of all the congressional districts and more amenable to the will of the majority. The "regu- lar" republicans, on the other hand, insisted that the old rules had been evolved in the course of time, because they had been found necessary In order to transact business in the house; that they were not and could not be enforced except by the will of the majority: that they had been adopted and used by democratic as well a=i republican congresses, and that they had been fairly and im- partially enforced by Speaker Cannon. The point of order having been made that the resolution was not a privileged one under the con- stitution, the speaker, basing his decision upon a ruling made by Samuel J. Randall in 1878, sustained the i>oint of order. Mr. Norris appealed from the decision and moved the previous question. After a ir.otion to lay the appeal on the table had been voted down (yeas 164, nays 182) the previous ques- tion was ordered by a vote of yeas 182, nays 161. and the house refused to concur in the decision of the speaker by a vote of 160 yeas to 182 nays. The question th'.-n recurring to the adoption of the resolution, Mr. Norris offered the following sub- stitute: "Resolved. That the rules of the house of repre- sentatives be amended as follows: "1. In rule X, paragraph 1, strike out the words 'on rules to consist of five members.' "2. Add new paragraph to rule X. as follows: " 'Paragraph 5. There shall be a committee on rnles, elected by the house, consisting of ten mem- bers, six of whom shall be members of the ma- jority party and four of whom shall be members of the minority party. The speaker shall not be a member of the committee and the committee shall elect Its own chairman from its own members.' "Resolved, further, That within ten days after the adoption of this resolution there shall be an election of this committee, and immediately upon Its election the present committee on rules shall be dissolved." The resolution as amended by the substitute was adopted, yeas 190, nays 157. The fallowing republicans voted for the resolution, the remainder of the affirmative vote consisting of democrats: Ames (Mass.). Barnard (Iowa). Gary (Wis.). Cooper (Wis.). Davidson (Wis.). Dawson (Iowa). Davis (Minn.). Fish (N. Y.). Foelker (N. Y.). Fowler (N. J.). Gardner (Mass.). Good (Iowa). Gronna- (N. D.). Haugen (Iowa). Hayes (Cal.). Hinshaw (Neb.). Hollingsworth (O.). Rowland (O.). Hubbard (Iowa). Johnson (0.). Kendall (Iowa). Kinkaid (Neb.). Kopp (Wis.). Kustermann (Wis.). Lenroot (Wis.). Lindbergh (Minn.). Madison (Kas.). Martin (S. D.). McLaughlin (Mich.). Miller (Minn.). Morse (Wis.). Murdock (Kas.). Nelson (Wis.). Norris (Neb.). Packett (Iowa). Parsons (N. Y.). Poindexter (Wash.). Plumley (Vt.). Steenerson (Minn.). Taylor (O.). Townsend (Mich.). Volstead (Minn.). Woods (Iowa). After announcing the vote the sneaker made a brief statement In which he said that there were two courses open for him to pursue one was to resign and permit the new combination of demo- crats and Insurgents to choose a speaker in har- mony with its aims and purposes. The othi-r was for that combination to declare a vacancy in the office of speaker and proceed to the election of a new speaker. The first course he declined to pur- sue, because it might endanger tli'i final passage of all legislation necessary to redeem republican pledges and because he was not conscious of hav- ing done any political wrong. "There has been much talk on the part of the minority ami the insurgents," said Mr. Cannon in conclusion, "of the 'czarism' of the speaker, cul- minating In the action taken to-day. The real truth is that there Is no coherent republican ma- jority in the house of representatives. Therefore, the real majority ought to have the courage of Its convictions and logically meet the situation that confronts it. "The speaker does now believe, and has alxvays believed, that this Is a government through parties, and that parties can act only through majorities. The speaker has always believed in and bowed to the will of the majority In convention, in caucus and in the legislative hall, and to-day profoundly believes that to act otherwise is to disorganize parties, is to prevent coherent action In any leg- islative body, is to make impossible the reflection of the wishes of the people in statutes and in laws. "The speaker has always said that, under the constitution, it Is a question of the highest priv- ilege for an actual majority of the house at any time to choose a new speaker, and again notifies the house that the speaker will at this moment or lit any other time while he remains speaker entertain, In conformity with the highest consti- tutional privilege, a motion by any member to vacate the office of the speakership and choose a new speaker; and, under existing conditions, would welcome such action upon the part of the actual majority of the house, so that power and respon- sibility may rest with the democratic and in- surgent members, who, by the last vote, evidently constitute a majority of this house. The chair ia now ready to entertain such motion." Mr. Burleson (dem.) of Texas offered a resolu- tion that the office of speaker of tbi house of rep- resentatives be declared vacant and that the house proceed at once to the election of a new speaker. The motion was voted down, nays 192, yeas 155. Of those voting yea the following were republicans: Cary (Wis.), Cooper (Wis.), Davis (Minn.), Gronna (N. D.), Lenroot (Wis.), Lind- bergh (Minn.), Murdock (Kas.), Nelson (Wis.), Poindexter (Wash.). Acting under the Norris resolution a caucus of the republican members of the house was held March 23, and the following were chosen to repre- sent the majority on the new committee on rules: Walter I. Smith, Iowa. John Dalzell, Pennsylvania. Sylvester C. Smith, California. George P. Lawrence, Massachusetts. J. Sloat Fassett, New York. Henry S. Boutell, Illinois. At a caucus cf the democratic members held March 24 the following were chosen to represent the minority: Champ Clark, Missouri. Oscar W. Underwood, Alabama. Lincoln Dixon, Ir.diana. John J. Fitzgerald, New York. By a resolution unanimously adopted March 25 the men named at the party caucuses were mauo the committee on rules of the house. COMMERCE COURT AND RAILROAD-RATE LAW.

After the year 1914 no Circuit judge shall be redesignated to serve in the Com- merce court until the expiration of at least one year after the expiration of the period of his last previous designation. The judge first designated for the five-year period shall be the presiding judge of said court, and thereafter the judge senior in designation shall be the presiding judge. Each of the judges during the period of his service !n the Commerce court shall, on account of the regular sessions of the court being hold in the city of Washington, receive In addition to his salary as Circuit judge an expense allowance at the rate of $1,500 per annum. The president shall, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, appoint five additional Cir- cuit judges, no two of whom shall be from the same judicial circuit, who shall hold office during good behavior and who shell be from time to time designated and assigned by the chief justice of the United States for service in the Circuit court of any district or the Circuit court of appeals for any circuit or in the Commerce court.

In the order of the date of their designations. Four of said judges shall constitute a quorum, and at least a majority of the court shall concur in all decisions. The court shall also have a clerk and a mar- shal, with the same duties and powers, so far as they may b.> apprcpriate and are not altered by rule of the court, as are now possessed by the clerk and marshal, respectively, of the Supreme court of the United States. The offices of the clerk and marshal of the court shall be In the city of Washington in the District of Columbia.

The Supreme court may affirm, reverse or modify the final judgment or decree of the Corn- mercy court as the case may require. Appeal to the Supreme court, however, shall In no case supersede or stay the judgment or decree of the Commerce court appealed from, unless the Supreme court or a justice thereof shall so direct, and appellant shall give bond in such form and of such amount as the Supreme court or the justice of that court allowing the stay may require.

In Its discretion, may restrain or suspend, in whole or in part, the operation of the commission's order pending the final hearing and determination of the suit. No order or Injunction so restraining or suspending an order of the interstate commerce commission shall be made by the Commerce court otherwise than upon notice and after hearing, ex- cept that, in cases where irreparable damage would otherwise ensue to the petitioner, said court or a judge thereof may, on hearing after r.ot less than three days' notice to the interstate commerce commission and the attorney-general, allow a temporary stay or suspension in whole or in part of the operation of the order of the interstate commerce commission for not more than sixty ('ays from Sec. 7. Section 1 of the act to regulate com- merce, approved Feb. 4, 1887, as heretofore amended, is amended so as to make the provisions of the law applicable to telegraph, telephone and cable companies (whether wire or wireless) engaged in sending messages from one state, territory or dis- trict of the United States to any other state, ter- ritory or district of the United States or to any foreign country, \vho shall be considered and held to be common curriers within the meaning and purpose of this act. "All charges made for any service rendered or to be rendered In the transportation of passengers or property and for the transmission or messages by telegraph, telephone or cable shall be Just and reasonable, and every unjust and unreasonable charge for such service or any part thereof Is prohibited and declared to be unlawful. Pro- vided, that messages by telegraph, telephone or cable, subject to the provisions of this act. may be classified into day. night, repeated, letter, commercial, press, government and such other classes as are just and reasonable, and different rates may be charged for the different classes of messages; and, provided further, that nothing In this act shall be construed to prevent telephone, telegraph and cable companies from entering into contracts with common carriers for the exchange of services." Sec. 8. Section 4 of the act is amended so as to make It unlawful for any common carrier to charge any greater compensation as a through route than the aggregate of the intermediate rates subject to the provisions of this act.

Whenever a cairler by railroad shall in com- petition with a water route or routes reduce rates on the carriage of any species of freight to and from competitive points It shall not be permitted to increase such rates unless after a hearing by the interstate commerce commission it shall be found that such proposed increase rests upon changed conditions other than the elimination of water competition. Sec. 9. Four new paragraphs are added to sec- tion 6 of this act: The commission may reject any schedule which does not give lawful notice of it8 effective date. In case of failure on the part of any carrier to comply with any order or regula- tion made by the commission, such carrier shall be liable to a fine of $500 for each offense and $25 for each day of the continuance of the offense. If any common carrier, after a written request by any person or company for a written statement of the rate or charge applicable to a described ship- ment between stated places under the tariffs to which such carrier is party, shall refuse or omit to make such statement within a reasonable time or shall misstate in writing the applicable rate, and If the person or company making such request suffers damages by reason of such refusal or omission or in consequence of the misstatement made, the carrier shall be liable to a penalty of $250. It shall be the duty of every carrier by railroad to keep posted in every station where freight is received the name of an agent resident in the place where the station is located, to whom application may be made for the information i>y this section required to be furnished on written re- quest.

Section 10 of the act, as heretofore amended, 'Is amended so as to make the third par- agraph read: "Any person, corporation or company or any agent or officer thereof, who shall deliver property for transportation to any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act, or for whom, as con- signor or consignee, any such carrier shall trans- port property, who shall knowingly and willfully, directly or Indirectly, himself or by employe, agent, officer or otherwise, by false billing, false classification, false weighing, false representation of the contents of the package or the substance of the property, false report of weight, false statement or by any other device or means, whether with or without the consent or connivance of the currier, its agent or officer, obtain or attempt to obtain transportation for such property at less than the regular rates then established and In force on the line of transportation, or who shall knowingly and willfully, directly or indirectly, himself or by employe, agent, officer or otherwise, by false statement or representation as to cost, value, nature or extent of injury or by the use of ;my false bill, bill of lading, receipt, voucher, roll, account, claim, certificate, affidavit or deposi- tion, knowing the same to be false, fictitious or fraudulent, or to contain any false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry, obtain or attempt to obtain any allowance, refund or payment for dam- age or otherwise in connection with or growing out of the transportation of or agreement to trans- port such property, whether with or without tha consent or connivance of the carrier, whereby the compensation of such carrier for such transporta- tion, either before or after payment, shall in fact be made less than the regular rates then estab- lished and in force on the line of transportation, shall be deemed guilty of fraud, which Is hereby declared a misdemeanor, and shall, upon convic- tion thereof In any court of the United States of competent jurisdiction within the district in which such offense was wholly or In part com- 38 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. mitted, be subject to a fine of not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not exceeding two years or both, in the discretion of the court; provided, that the pen- alty of imprisonment shall not apply to artificial persons." Ses. 11. Section 13 of the act is amended so as to provide that the interstate commerce commis- sion shall have the same powers and authority to proceed with any inquiry instituted on its owii motion as though It had been appealed to by com- plaint or petition under any of the provisions of the act, including the power to make and enforce any order or orders in the case, or relating to the matter or thing concerning which inquiry Is had excepting orders for the payment of money. BATE BEGULATIONS. Sec. 12. Section 15 of the act, as heretofore amended, is further amended so as to read as follows : "That whenever, after full hearing upon a com- plaint made as provided in section 13 of this act or after a full hearing under an order for investi- gation and hearing made by the commission on its own initiative (either in extension of any pending complaint or without any complaint whatever), the commission shell be of opinion that any Indi- vidual or joint rates or charges whatsoever de- manded, charged or collected by any common car- rier or carriers subject to the provisions of thl act for the transportation of persons or property or for the transmission of messages by telegrapb or telephone as defined in the first section of this act, or that any Individual or Joint classi- fications, regulations or practices whatsoever o! such carrier or carriers subject to the provisions of this act are unjust or unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory or unduly preferential or prejudicial or otherwise in violation of any of the provisions of this act, the commission is hereby authorized and empowered to determine and prescribe what will be the .lust and reasonable Individual or joint rate or rates, charge or charges, to be thereafter observed In such case as the maximum to be charged and what individual or jo:nt classifica- tion, regulation or practice is just, fair and rea- sonaHe to be thereafter followed, and to make an order that tbe carrier or carriers shall cease and desist from such violation to the extent to which the commission flnds the same to exist, and shall not thereafter publish, demand! or collect any rate or charge for such transportation or transmission In excess of the maximum rate or charge so pre- scribed and shall adopt the classification and shall conform to and observe the regulation or practice so prescribed. All orders of the commission, ex- cept orders for the payment of money, shall take effect within such reasonable time, not less than thirty days, and shall continue In force for such period of time not exceeding two years, as shall be prescribed In the order of the commission, un- less the same shall be suspended or modified or set aside by the commission, or be suspended or set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction. When- ever the carrier or carriers, in obedience to such order of the commission or otherwise, in respect to joint rates, fares or charges, shall fall to agree among themselves upon the apportionment or di- vision thereof the commission may, after hearing, mak-? a supplemental order prescribing the just and reasonable proportion of siich joint rate to be received by each carrier party thereto, which order shall take effect as a part of the original order. "Whenever there shall be filed with the com- mission any schedule stating a new individual or joint rato. fare or charge or any new Individual or ioint classification, or any new individual or joint regulation or practice affecting rate, fare or charge, the commission shall have, and It la hereby given, authority, either upon complaint or upon its own initiative without complaint, at once, and if it so orders, without answer or other formal pleading by the interested carrier or car- riers, but upon reasonable notice, to enter upon n hearing concerning the propriety of such rate, fare, charge, classification, regulation or prac- tice, and pending such hearing and the decision thereon the commission upon filing with snch schedule and delivering to the carrier or carriers affected thereby a statement in writing of its reasons for such suspension may suspend the oper- ation of such schedule and defer the use of such rate, fare, classification, regulation or practice, but not for a longer period than 120 days beyond the time when such rate, fare, charge, classification, regulation or practice would otherwise go into ef- fect, and after full hearing, whether completed before or after the rate, charge, classification, regulation oi 1 practice goes into effect, the com- mission may make such order in reference to such rate, charge, classification, regulation or practice as would be proper In a proceeding initiated after the rate, fare, charge, classification, regulation or practice had become effective; provided, that if any such hearing cannot be concluded within the period of suspension, as above stated, the inter- state commerce commission may, in its discretion, extend the time of suspension for a further period not exceeding six months. At any hear- ing involving a rate increased after Jan. 1, 1910, or of a rate sought to be increased after the pas- sage of this act, tte burden of proof to show that the proposed increased rate is just and reasonable shall be upon the common carrier, and the com- mission shall give to the hearing and decision of such questions preference over all oilier questions pending before It and decide the same as speedily is possible. THROUGH BOTJTES.

The imperial government of Japan and the im- perial government of Russia, sincerely attached to the principles established by the convention conducted between them on the 17th of July, 1907, and desirous to develop the effects of that conven- tion with a view to the consolidation of peace in the extreme east, have agreed to complete the said arrangement fay the following provisions: Article 1. With the object of facilitating com- munication and developing the commerce of na- tions, the two high contracting parties mutually engage to lend each otber their friendly co-opera- tion with a view to the amelioration of their re- spective railway lines in Manchuria and the im- provement of the connecting service of the said railways and to abstain from all competition prejudicial to the realization of this object. Art. 2. Kach of the high contracting parties engages to maintain and respect the status quo in Manchuria resulting from the treaties, conventions and other arrangements concluded up to this day between Japan and Russia or between either of these two powers and China. Copies of the afore- said arrangements have been exchanged between Japan and Russia. Art. 3. In case that any event arises of a nature to menace the status quo heretofore men- tioned the two high contracting parties shall in each case enter into communication with each other in oflder to arrive at an understanding as to the measures they may judge !t necessary to take for the maintenance of the said status quo.

FIRE IN BRUSSELS EXPOSITION. Through a fire which started in the Belgian sec- tion of the Brussels international exposition Sun- day evening. Aug. 14, 1910, damage estimated at between $6,000,000 and $10.000,000 was caused. The principal losses were sustained in the British and Belgian sections, but the goods in other sections were also damaged by smoke and water. The grounds were crowded with people at the time, and a panic ensued, in which two lives were lost and many persons injured. A large number of valuable works of art were destroyed and the archives of the exposition were burned. The fire originated from crossed electric wires leading Into the post- office in the Belgian building. CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. The steady advance In the cost of many of the necessaries of life led to much discussion in 1910 as co the cause or causes. Dissatisfaction on the part of the consuming public was expressed in a meat boycott and in various other ways. Respond- ing to the general demand for congressional ac- tion of some kind, the United States senate in Feb- ruary appointed a select committee with Instruc- tions to make an exhaustive investigation into the cost of living and any increase in the same since 1900. This committee was composed of the follow- ing senators: Henry Cabot Lodge, Massachusetts, chairman; Jacob H. Gallinger, New Hampshire; Porter J. McCumber, North Dakota; Reed Smoot, Utah; Coe I. Crawford, South Dakota; James P. Clarke, Arkansas; Joseph H. Johnston, Alabama; Ellison D. Smith, South Carolina. The last three are democrats and the others republicans. The committee heard a large number of witnesses en- gaged in the wholesale and retail grocery trade, the wholesale and retail meat trade, the raising of cattle and sheep and the production of grain, cotton and wool. It also heard representatives of many other industries and examined numerous con- sular and other reports. The committee, which was officially known as the ''select committee on wages and prices of com- modities," presented majority and minority reports to the senate June 23. The members divided on political lines, the majority report being signed by the republican senators and the minority by the democratic senators. Following Is a brief synopsis of the majority report: WHOLESALE PRICES. The advance In prices has been world-wide, al- though farm and food products have advanced much more rapidly than manufactured articles. Prices appear to have advanced more rapidly In the United States and Canada than in the united kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Bulgaria. While the prices of manufactured arti- cles have ia many instances remained unchanged, the quality or grade has deteriorated. The price of furniture, for instance, has remained about the same, but the quality of cheap and medium-priced furniture has declined. The report quotes from the bulletin of the United States bureau of labor on wholesale prices, a summary of which Is glveii In this Issue of The Daily News Almanac and Year-Book, and then, proceeds: "Among the many causes contributing to the ad- vance in prices may be enumerated: "Increased cost of production of farm products by reason of higher land values and higher wages. "Increased demand tor farm products and food. "Shifting of population from food-producing to food-consuming occupations and localities. "Immigration to food-consuming localities. "Reduced fertility of land resulting in lower average production or Increased expenditures for fertilization. "Increased banking facilities In agricultural lo- calities, which enable farmers to hold their crops and market to the best advantage. This results in steadying prices, but also tends to advance prices. "Reduced supply convenient to transportation of such commodities as timber. "Cold-storage plants which result in preventing extreme fluctuations of prices of certain commodi- ties with the seasons, but by enabling the whole- salers to buy and sell at the best possible advan- tage tend to advance prices. "Increased cost of distribution. "Industrial combinations. "Organizations of producers or of dealers. "Advertising. "Increased money supply. "Overcapitalization. "Higher standard of living." The general wholesale price level In the United States represented by 257 commodities advance-! 14.5 per cent during the period from 1900 to 1909. Commodities. Per cent. Farm products advanced 39.8 Food, etc., advanced 19.7 Lumber and building materials advanced 19.6 Miscellaneous commodities advanced 14.7 Cloths and clothing advanced 120 Fuel and lighting advanced 6.9 House- furnishing goods advanced 5.3 Metals and implements advanced 3.6 Drugs and chemicals declined 2.9 Another grouping of commodities shows the fol- lowing percentages above 1900: Products of the forest 40.3 Products of the farm, crude 36.1 Products of farm, manufactured 24.2 Products of mines and wells 13.5 Products of manufacture 6.7 Products of fisheries 5.1 The testimony of all witnesses familiar with farm conditions is to the effect that the cost of production of farm products has risen very rapidly In the last ten years; wages of farm hands have increased on an average about 60 per cent, and the original investment necessary to secure land has practically doubled in that period. In many locali- ties the crop average can be maintained only by the use of expensive fertilizers, by rotation of crops or by allowing the ground to lie fallow. The supply of available government land for general farming has been materially reduced. The cost of producing live stock has increased with the dis- appearance of the range. "The assumption seems fair that for the prod- ucts of the forest and of the farm the available supply is not keeping pace with the demand, while for manufactured articles the supply has practical- ly kept pace with the demand. So far as the prod- ucts of the forests are concerned, the supply In the United .States is diminishing and the cost of production and marketing has Increased. The farm products are being produced on much more expen- sive land and farm wages have Increased more rap- idly than have those of any other group of work- ers." RETAIL PRICES. "Retail prices in the United States In the spring of 1910 were for manj* articles at the highest point reached in many years. As compared with the spring of 1900 prices for bacon were more than 70 per cent higher, ham was 33 per cent higher, flour was about 50 per cent higher, butter about 45 per cent higher and eggs 100 per cent higher. "Furniture was about the same as In 1900. Earthenware was slightly lower. Shoes and cloth- ing were considerably higher. "The United States bureau of labor compilation of retail prices of food includes thirty of the most important articles for the years 1890 to 1907. This compilation has not been extended beyond 1907, but for that year the thirty articles, when given a weight according to consumption In a wage-earner's family, showed an advance In 1907 of 19.3 per cent over 1900." Retail prices for a few important articles of food in typical stores In large eastern cities for April, 1903, and April, 1910, and the increase In prices during the period between those dates are shown in the table at top of next page. WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR. "Wag<>s have not advanced as rapidly as have prices and practically all the labor difficulties which have been the subject of mediation in the United States during the last two or three years have had as their basis the advanced cost of liv- ing. In the United States wages have advanced much more rapidly than they have in European countries. AVages in the United States advanced In about the same degree as did prices until 1907. Owing to t'ue Industrial depression of 1908, follow- in? the financial panic of 1907, wages dropped con- siderably, and in 1909 hardly more than regained the high point reached in 1907. Wages at the present time are r.ot on as high a level as are food prices. Salaries have advanced but very lit- tle during the last ten years. "Hours of labor in practically all wage occupa- tions have been reduced. The United States bu- reau of labor compilation of wages and hours of labor has not been continued later than 1907. In 1007 wages per hour were 22.1 per cent above 1900. 54 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. ARTICLE. UNIT. RETAIL, PRICE. INCREASE. 1910. 1903. Amount. Per cent.

The decline In hours of course affected the weekly earnings of employes for the reason that the large majority of wage earners are employed either on the piece basis or at an hourly rate. From 1900 to 1907 full time weekly tariiings advanced 17.6 per cent, while wholesale prices of commodities advanced 17.2 per cent, or In almost exactly the same proportion." The following table, based upon figures supplied to the senate committee by B. M. Craig, secretary of (he Building Contractors' council of Chicago, shows for the building trades the rate of wages per hour In Chicago, New York and San Francisco in 1902 and 1910 and the per cent of Increase ID rates of wages per hour during the period from J902 to 1910: greatest advance the products of the forests and the products of the farm are those for which there has been practically no change in the tariff for the last ten years. Neither have there been any changes during the last twenty years which could in any way account for the increase lii price. The tariff acts of 1894, 1897 and 1909 have made no changes which to any appreciable degree measure the changes in price which have taken place. "The tariff act of 1909 made no marked changes in 'farm products and foodstuffs,' the articles grouped by the tariff acts under schedule G, 'ag- ricultural products and provisions," and schedule E, 'sugar, molasses and manufactures of.' "Where alterations were made in rates they were chiefly in the direction of reductions. Yet Bricklayers Stone masons Structural iron Belters.. Ornamental iron setters.

"The tariff seems to have been no material fac- tor in causing the advance in prices during the last decade. The greatest advances have been made in commodities upon which the tariff has little or 110 effect, and the absolute removal of the tariff on n;any of these commodities could not have af- forded relief at the present time, for the reason that prices of these commodities, with a few ex- ceptions, were as high or higher in other countries than in the United States. "The advance in prices during the last ten yeai-s appears to have no relation to tariff legislation.

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION IN WASHINGTON, The Smithsonian institution was established by statute in 1846, under the terms of the will of James Smithson. who bequeathed his fortune in 1826 to the United States for the "increase and diffu- sion of knowledge among men." From the income of the fund a building, known as the Smithsonian building, was erected in Washington, E>. C., on land given by the United States. Tltc institution is legally an establishment havinsc as its members the president and vice-president of " the United States, the chief .lustice and the president's cabi- net. It is governed by a board of regents consist- ing of the vice-presid*Bt. the chief justice, three members of the United States senate, three mem- bers of the house of representatives and six citi- zens appointed by joint resolution of congress. It is under the immediate direction of the secretary of the Smithsonian institution, who is the execu- tive officer of the board and the director of the in- stitution's activities. The institution aids investiga- tors by making grants for research and exploration, providing for lectures, initiating scientific projects and publishing scientific papers. It has adminis- trative charge of the national museum, the national gallery of art, the international exchange service, the national zoological park, the astrophysical ob- servatory and the regional bureau for the interna- tional catalogue of scientific literature. The insti- tution's original endowment of $541.000 has been increased by gifts and accumulated interest to $987,000. yielding an annual income of $58.375. The secretary' of the institution is Charles D. Walcott. ROHAN AND ARABIC NUMERALS. I... II.. HI. IV.

The entire length of the Panama canal from deep water in the Atlantic to deep water in the Pacific is F0.5 miles. Its length on land is 40.5 miles. In passing through the canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific, a vessel will enter a channel with a bottom width of 500 feet in Limon bay and follow tbis for about seven miles to Gatun, where it will enter a series of three locks in flight and be lifted eighty-five feet to the level of tte Gatun lake. It will sail at full ocean speed through this lake, in a channel varying from 1,000 to 500 feet in width, for a distance of about twenty-four miles, to Bas Obispo, vyhere it will enter the Culebra cut. It will sail through the out. a distance of about nine miles, in a channel with a bottom width of 300 feet, to Pedro Miguel. There it will enter a lock and be lowered 30% feet, to a small lake at an elevation of 54% feet above sea level, and will sail through this for about 1% miles to Miraflores. There it will enter two locks in series and be lowered to sea level, passing out into the Pacific through a channel 8% miles in length, with a bottom width of 500 feet. The depth of the approach channel on the Atlan- tic side, where the tidal oscillation does not ex- coed iy 3 feet, will be 41 feet at mean tide, and on the Pacific side, where the maximum oscillation is 23 feet, the depth will be 45 feet at mean tide. GATUN DAM. Tiie Gatun dam, which will form Gatun lake by Impounding the waters of the Chagres river and other streams, will be nearly 1% miles long, meas- ured on its crest, nearly half a mile wide at its base, about 400 feet wide at the water surface, about 100 feet wide at the top, and its erect, as planned, will be at an elevation of 115 feet above mean sea level, or 30 feet above the normal level of the lake. The interior of the dam will be 'formed of a natural mixture of sand and clay, dredged by hydraulic process from pits above and below the dam, and placed between two large masses of rock and miscellaneous material, obtained from steam-shovel excavation at various points along the canal. The top and up-stream slope will be riprapped. The spillway is a concrete lined open- ing, 1.200 feet long and 300 feet wide, cut through a hill of rock nearly in the center of the dam, the bottom of the opening being ten feet above sea level. During the construction of the dam, all the waters discharged from the Chagres river and its tributaries will flow through this opening. Wh^n the lake is formed, the spillway will be closed with a concrete dam. fitted with gates and machinery for regulating the water level of the lake. The water level of. Gatun lake, extending through the Culebra eut, will be maintained at the south end by aa earth dam connecting the locks at Pedro Miguel with the high ground to the west- C4 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. GATUN DAM, SPILLWAY AND LOCKS ON PANAMA CANAL. ward, about 1,700 feet long, with its crest at aii elevation of 105 feet above mean tide. A small lake between the locks at Pedro Miguel and Mira- flores will be formed by dams connecting the walls of Miraflores locks with tho high ground on either Bide. The dam to the westward will be of earth, about 2.700 feet long, having its crest about 15 feet above the water in Miraflores lake. The east dam will be of concrete, about 500 feet long, and will form a spillway for Miraflores lake, with crest gates similar to those at the spillway of the Gutun dam. GATUN LAKE. Gatun lake will cover an area of 164 square miles, with a depth in the ship channel varying from 85 to 45 feet. Throughout the first 16 miles from Gatun the width of the channel will be 1.000 feet; then for 4 miles It will be 800 feet and for 4 miles more, 500 feet, when the entrance to Culebra cut, at Bas Oblspo, will be reached. The watel level in the cut will be that of the lake and the bottom width of the channel will be 300 feet. CANAL ZONE. The canal zone contains about 448 square miles. It begins at a point three marine miles from mean low-water mark in each ocean and extends for five miles on each side of the center line of the route of the canal. It includes the group of islands in the Bay of Panama named Perico, Naos, Culebra und Flamenco. The cities of Panama and Colon are excluded from the zone, but the United States has the righf to enforce sanitary ordinances and maintain public order there in case the re- public of Panama should not be able to do so. Of the 448 square miles in the zone the United States owns 322 and private persons 126. The pri- vate property may, however, be acquired at any time by the United States by purchase or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain. THE LOOKS. There will be twelve locks in the canal, all in duplicate; three pairs in flight at Gatun, with a combined lift of 85 feet; one pair at Pedro Miguel, with a lift of 30% feet, and two pairs at Mira- flores, with a combined lift of 54% feet at mean fide. The dimensions of all are the same a usa- ble length of 1,000 feet and a usable width of 110 feet. Each lock will be a chamber, with walls and floors of concrete and water-tight gates at each end. The side walls will be 45 to 50 feet wide at the surface of floor; will be perpendicular on the face and will narrow from the point 24% feet above the floor until they are 8 feet wide at the top. The middle wall will be 60 feet wide, ap- proximately l feet high, and each face will be vertical. At a point 42% feet above the surface of the floor and 15 feet above the top of the mid- dle culvert, this wall will divide into two parts, leaving a space down the center much like the letter "U," which will be 19 feet wide at the bot- tom. In this center space, which will be 44 feet wide at the top, will be a tunnel divided into three stories or galleries. The lowest gallery will be for drainage; the middle for the wires that carry the electric current to operate the gate and valve machinery, which will be installed in the center wall, and the upper will be a passageway for the operators. The lock chambers will be filled and emptied through lateral culverts in the floors, connected with main culverts, 18 feet in diameter, in the walls, the water flowing in and out by gravity. The lock gates will be steel structures, 7 feet thick, 65 feet long and from 47 to 82 feet high. They will weigh from 300 to 600 tons each. For the entire canal 92 leaves will be required, the total weighing 57,000 tons. Intermediate gates will be used in the locks to save water and time, if lesired. in locking small vessels through, the gates being so fixed as to divide the locks into chambers 600 and 400 feet long, respectively. Of the vessels navigating the high seas, 95 per cent are less than 600 feet long. In the construction of the locks it Is estimated that there will be used approxi- mately 4,500,000 cubic yards of concrete. No vessel will be permitted to enter or pass through the locks under its own power. Electric- ity will be used to tow all vessels into and through the locks, and to operate all gates and valves, power being generated by water turbines from the head created by Gatun lake. The time required to pass a vessel through all the locks is estimated at three hours, one hour and a half in the three locks at Gatun and about the same time in the throe locks on the Pacific side. The CHTCAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. 65 time of the passage of a vessel through the entire canal is estimated as ranging from ten to twelve hours, according to the size of the ship and the rate of speed at which it can travel.

It feeds, clothes and provides with necessities approximately 50,ODO persons. The department is self-sustaining. It has thirteen general stores in as many canal- zone villages and three camps on the relocated line of the railroad. No goods are sold for cash, only coupons issued to emplojes being accepted In payment for purchases. PART OF CANAL COMPLETED. In August 5% miles of the canal at the Atlantic entrance wore opened to navigation for the sand and rock fleet of the Atlantic division. This sec- tion, added to the five miles at the Pacific en- trance open to vessels of all kinds, made the total of the canal in use 10% miles. PANAMA RAILROAD. The Panama railroad and the steamships run in connection with it between New York and Colon are owned and operated by the United States gov- ernment. When the canal was purchased from the new French canal company the railroad and steam- ship property was included among the assets. It practically parallels the route of the canal nearly the whole distance. Since it was acquired by the Americans the line has been almost completely re- located to correspond with changes in the route and plan of the canal. It is 46% miles long and runs between the cities of Colon and Panama. ROMAN AND Roman. Apollo A urora Rolus Bacchus.. Bellona Oeres Cupid Cybele Diana Juno , Jupiter Man?

DOCTRINE. between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependen- cies of any European power we have not inter- fered and shall not interfere. But with the gov- ernments who have declared their independence and maintain it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles ac- knowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling In any other manner tneir destiny by any Euro- pean power in any other light than as the mani- festation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States." CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1611.. DEATH OF EDWARD VII. AND ACCESSION OF GEORGE V. Edward VII., king of Great Britain and Ireland ajid emperor of India, died in Buckingham palace, London, at 11:45 p. m., Friday, My 6, 1910. The Immediate cause of his death was heart failure following an attack of bronchitis. He had for some years suffered from emphysema, with an at- tendant bronchial catarrh and with digestive dis- turbances, which undermined his naturally strong constitution. The political crisis in the kingdom brought on by the dispute between the house of commons and the house of lords over the budget also gave him much anxiety and prooably affected his health to some degree. To obtain relief he went to Biarritz early In March, but while there had a severe bronchitic attack. Recovering from this he returned to London April 27 and resumed his n-gular duties. Saturday. April 30, he felt a little unwell and went to Sandringnam. Sunday he attended church, but In the afternoon spent some time in the open air and contracted a slight chill. Mon- day he returned to London, and though feeling out of sorts kept a dinner engagement. Tuesday and Wednesday he continued at worK in spite of th-. admonitions of his medical advisers, receiving of- ficial visitors and giving audiences. He suffered from coughing and difficulty in breathing, espe- cially at night. The physicians, Drs. Francis Henry Laklng, James Reid and R. Douglas Powell, recognized the gravity of his condition and Queen Alexandra, who was on the continent, was sent for. She arrived on the afternoon of Thursday, and Ihe fact that the king did not meet her at the railway station as usual was the first indica- tion to the public that his illness was serious. Even on that day his majesty continued to 'trans- act public business, though he was confined to his room. Thursday evening the physicians with his consent issued the following bulletin: "The king is suffering from an attack of bron- chitis and has been confined to his room for two days. His majesty's condition causes some anxiety." In the early hours of Friday morning. May 6, the king had several severe attacks of dyspnoea, and when the physicians visited him they found that the gravity of the symptoms had Increased. They Issued a bulletin at 11 a. m., stating, "The king has passed a comparatively quiet night, but the symptoms have not Improved and his majes- ty's condition gives rise to grave anxiety." The king rose in the morning -and dressed, but spent mosfc^of the time seated In his chair. At noon his condition grew worse and ho had several fainting spells. He had retained full control of his senses until then, and in reply to some sug- gestion said: "No, il shall not give In; I shall go on; I shall work to the end. These were his last conscious words. Oxygen was freely administered, but without avail. His periods of unconsciousness became more prolonged, and at 6 p. m. the physicians issued the following bulletin : "The king's symptoms have become worse dur- ing the day and his majesty's condition Is now critical." Late In the evening he was put to bed, having been permitted to remain seated in his chair to ease his breathing. He did not regain con- sciousness, and at 11:45 p. m. the end came after a prolonged period of perfect calm. The news e x n Alexandra and the royal family from the rulers and presidents of all nat'ons, including one from PreKideut Taft of the United States. The latter appointed Formet President Roosevelt, then in Europe, to attend the funeral as the special representative of the United States. Wednesday, May 18, the body of Kind Edward was removed' with simple but impressive ceremo- nies frcm Buckingham palace to Westminster hall, wiiere It lay in state. It was viewed by hun- dreds of thousands, who passed the coffin in an unbroken stream until the doors were finally closed. Friday, May 20, the body was taken to Paddington station and thence conveyed to Wind- sor, where the funeral services were conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury in St. George's chapel. Later the royal remains were entombed in the Albert Memorial chapel. The tribute paid to the dead king on the day of the fui.tral in London was perhaps the most re- markable In the history of England. In the pro- cession from Westminster hall to the railway sta- tion the rulers of cine European nations, members of all the leading royal families, diplomats, mil- itary and naval leaders and many other distin- guished persons followed the gun carriage on which the coffin rested. The three miles of streets through which the cortege moved, between solid lines of red-coated soldiers, standing with rifiea reversed and the regimental colors dipped to the ground, were thronged with such a mass of silent, somberly clad people as had- seldom If ever be- fore been seen in London. CHRONOLOGY. Following is a brief chronology of the life of King Edward VII.: Born Nov. 9, 1841. Visited tinted States, 1860. Married to Princess Alexandra March 10, 1863. Visited India, 1875-1876. Succeeded to the throne Jan, 22, 1901. Crowned Aug. 9, 1992. Died May 6, 1910. ACCESSION OF GEORGE V. George Frederick, prince of Wales, succeeded to the throne immediately upon the death of his father, Edward VII. He assumed the title of George V. In accordance with an old custom his first of- ficial act was to send to the lord mayor of London a telegram announcing King Edward's death. Saturday, May 7, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, George V. took the oath and was formally declared king of Great Britain and Ireland and emperor of India, the ceremony taking place In the throne- room of St. James' palace In the presence of the Brivy council, under the presidency of the earl of rewe. Following custom, the members of the council were first formally notified of the death of King Edward VII. and of the accession of George V. A committee then informed his majesty of what had been done, whereupon he entered the council chamber and made an address, in which he spoke of the death of his father and declared that to en- deavor to follow in King Edward's footsteps and at the same time to uphold the constitutional govern- ment of the realm would be the earnest object of his life. The proclamation of his majesty's ac- cession was signed by Prince Christian and all the other privy councilors present and by the lord mayor and the representatives of the city. His majesty took the usual oath for the security of the church of Scotland, and the councilors wei-e all resworn. The king then received the coun- cilors, who kissed hands on Doing presented, and the ceremony came to an end. Monday, May 9, the medieval ceremony of pro- claiming the accession of the new king by hert>lds and pursuivants In the various centers of London took piece. The first proclamation was made in Friary court at St. James' palace at 9 o'clock in the morning and was witnessed from one of the windows by the new king and queen and also by their children. In the quadrangle of the court were a guard of honor of the 1st life guards, members of the army headquarters staff In full uniform and a large concourse of spectators. At CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND TEAR-BOOK FOR 1911. the appointed time the officials of the Oollege of Arms stepped through an open window on to the terrace on the western side of the court. The duke of Norfolk was earl marshal; Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty, garter king of arms; W. H. Weldon, norroy king of arms; W. A. Lindsay, Windsor herald, and II. F. Burke. Somerset herald. The four pursuivants, Rouge Dragon, Portcullis, Rouge Croix and Blue Mantle, were R. Green, Joseph Watkin, A. 'Cochrane and G. W. Wollaston. As they took their places on the center of the balcony the' two mace bearers and the royal trumpeters stood to the right and left. After the trumpeters had sounded a fanfare the earl marshal and the garter king of arms advanced and the latter read the proclamation: "That the high ar.d mighty prince, George Fred- erick Ernest Albert, is now, by the death of our late sovereign of hpppy memory, become our only lawful and rightful liege lord George V., by the grace of God king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British dominions beyond the seas, defender of the faith, emperor of India, to whom we do acknowledge all faith and constant obedience, with all hearty and humble affection, beseeching God, by whom kings and queens do reign, to bless the royal Prince George V. with long and happy years to reign over us." As Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty finished the reading he and the earl marshal raised their hats and the former called out loudly, "God! save the king!" A royal salute was fired, the royal standard was raised above Marlborough house and the band played the national anthem, the spectators join- ing in and singing the words. Similar ceremonies, though less elaborate, took place at Charing Cross, Temple Bar and the Royal exchange. The proc- lamation was read on the same day In various places throughout the whole empire.

He was brought to Paris in November. 1909, to be treated for arterio-sclerosis, from which he was suffering, but failed to receive any permanent ben- efit.

His body was brought to Norway on the cruiser Norge and the funeral took place in Ohristiar.ia May 3 Bjornson was 77 years old at the time of his death. THE DRAGO DOCTRINE. When In the winter of 1902-03 Germany, Britain and Italy blockaded the ports of Venezuela in at- tempt to make the latter country settle up Its debts Dr. L. F. Drago, a noted jurist of Argen- tina, maintained that force cannot be used by one power to collect money owing to Its citizens by another power. Prominence was given to the con- tention by the fact that it was officially upheld by Argentina and favored by other South Amer- ican republics. The principle embodied has be- come generally known as the "Drago doctrine." CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1911. ARBITRATION OF FISHERIES DISPUTE. The historic Atlantic fisheries controversy, which for 130 years had been a source of annoyance to the United States and Great Britain, was sub- mitted to the International court of arbitration at The Hague. June 1, 1910. and the decision an- nounced Sept. 7 following. The dispute arose chief- ly over the Interpretation of the treaty between the two countries In 1818, but Its earliest origins dated back to conditions created by the treaty of 1783. The clause In the treaty of 1818, which caused the greater part of the trouble, was as follows: "That the Inhabitants of the United States shall have forever, in common with the subjects of his Britannic majesty, the liberty to take fish of ev- r-ry kind on that part of the southern coast of Newfoundland extending from Cape Ray to the Ramea islands, on the western and northern coast from Cape Ray to the Quirpon Islands, on the shores of the Magdalen islands and also on the coasts, bays, harbors and creeks from Mount Joli en the southern coast of Labrador to and through the straits of Belleisle, and thence northwardly in- definitely along the coast, without prejudice, how- ever, to any of the exclusive rights of the Hud- son's Bay company." In return for these privileges the United States i enounced forever the right to fish within three marine miles of the coasts of British North Amer- ica not included within the above. The main source of trouble was the difference of opinion as to the right of Americans to obtain supplies of the bait fishes herring, capelln and squid in the coast waters of Newfoundland, where alone they are to be had. This right was denied by Newfoundland. Great Britain and Canada became Involved In the dispute and It was finally decided In January, 1909, to submit the whole matter to the court of arbi- tration at The Hague, in accordance with the prin- ciples of the convention for the settlement of in- ternational disputes, signed by many of the pow- ers Oct. IS, 1907. The cause was considered by the following arbi- trators: Prof. H. Laramasch of Austria, presi- dent: Dr. Luis Drago of Argentina, Jhr. M. A. F. de Savornln Lohman of Holland, Sir Charles Fitz- patrick of Great Britain and Judge George Gray of the United States. The counsel on behalf of the United States were Chandler I'. Anderson of New York, agent; Elihu Root, senator from New York; George Turner of Spokane. Wash.; Samuel J. Elder of Boston, Muss. ; Dr. James Brown Scott, solicitor of the state department; Charles B. Warren of Detroit, Mich., and Robert Lansing of Watertown, N. Y. The counsel on behalf of Great Britain were A. B. Aylesworth. minister of justice of Canada, agent: Sir William Robinson. K. C. . attorney-gen- eral for England; Sir Robert Flnly, K. C., for- mer attorney -general for England; Sir H. Erie Richards, K. C., of England; John S. Ewart. K. C., of Canada: George W. Shepley, K. C.. of Canada; W. N. Tilley of Canada; Sir Edward Mor- ris. K. C., premier of Newfoundland; Sir Jame^ Wirter, K. C., former attorney-general of New- founlland, and D. Morlson, K. C., attorney -general of Newfoundland. Seven main questions were submitted for the de- cision of the arbitrators. The questions and flnd- ligs were as follows: 1. Must any reasonable regulations made by Great Britain. Canada and Newfoundland In the form of municipal laws, ordinanaes or rules, nec- essary for the preservation of the fisheries and the maintenance of public order and morals and equl- talili- as between local fishermen and inhabitants of th.> United States, be subject to the consent of th<> United Stales? The right of Great Britain to moke regulations for the preservation of the fisheries without the consent of the United States Is affirmed and is de- clared to he inherent to the sovereign rights of Great Britain. Both parties agree that the reason- ableness of the existing regulations should be sub- mitted to nn impartial commission of experts. If the United States object to any new regulation it shall not come Into operation with respect to the Inhabitants of the United States until a permanent mixed fishery commission has decided upon Its rea- sonableness. 2. Have the inhabitants of the United States, while exercising the liberty to take fish on the treaty coasts, referred to In the first article of the tre.ity of 1818, a right to employ, as members of the lishing crews of their vessels, persons not in- habitants of the United States? The tribunal is of opinion that the inhabitants of the United States while exercising the liberties referred to in the said article have the right to employ, as members of the fishing crews of their vessels, persons rot inhabitants of the United States. But, in view of preceding considerations, the tribunal, to prevent any misunderstanding aa to the effect of its award, expresses the opinion that noninhabitants employed as members of the fishing crews of United States vessels derive no benefit or immunity from the treaty. 3. Can the liberties to "take fish" and to "dry and cure fish" in the places referred to In the treaties be subjected, without the consent of the United States, to the requirement of entry or re- port at custom horses or the payment of light, harbor or other dues, or to any similar condition? The tribunal decides and awards as follows: The requirement that an American fishing vessel should report, if proper conveniences for doing so are at hand, is not unreasonable. But the exercise of the fishing liberty by the inhabitants of the United States should not be subjected to Ihe purely com- mercial formalities of report, entry and clearance at a custom house, nor to light, harbor or other dues not imposed upon Newfoundland fishermen. 4. Can restrictions be imposed upon American fishermen making the exercise of the privileges granted them by the treaty to enter certain bays or harbors for Shelter, repairs, wcod and water conditional upon the payment of light, harbor, or other dues, or entering or reporting at custom houses, or any similar conditions? It Is decided and awarded that such restrictions are not permissible. It seems reasonable, however. In order that these privileges accorded by Great Britain on these grounds of hospitality and hu- manity should not bo abused, that the American fishermen entering such bays for any of the four purposes aforesaid and remaining more than forty- eight hours therein should be required, if thought necessary by Great Britain or the colonial govern- ment, to report either in person OP by telegraph at a custom house or to a customs official, if reason- ably convenient opportunity therefor is afforded. 5. What is a "bay" within the meaning of the treaty? The tribunal decides and awards: In case of bays three marine miles are to be measured from a straight line drawji across the body of water at the place where it ceases to have the configuration and characteristics of a bay. At all other places the three marine miles are to be measured follow- ing the sinuosities of the coast. Considering that the tribunal cannot overlook that this answer to question five, although correct in principle and the only one possible In view of the want of a suffi- cient basis for a more concrete answer. Is not en- tirely satisfactory as to Its practical applicability and that it leaves room for doubts and differences in practice: therefore, the tribunal considers it its duty to render the decision more practicable and to remove the danger of future differences by ad- joining to it a recommendation in virtue of the responsibilities imposed by article IV. of the spe- cial agreement. Considering, moreover, that in treaties with France, with the North German con- federation and the German empire and likewise in the North sea convention. Great Britain has adopt- ed for similar cases the rule that only bays of ten miles width should be considered as those wherein the fishing is reserved to nationals, and that In the course of negotiations between Great Britain and the United States a similar rule has been on various occasions proposed and adopted by Great Britain in instructions to the naval officers sta- tioned on these coasts, and that though these cir- cumstances are not sufficient to constitute this a principle of law. It seems reasonable to propose this rule with certain exceptions, all the more that 70 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAB-BOOK FOB 1911. this rule with such exceptions has already formed the basis of an agreement between the two powers. 6. Does the treaty give the inhabitants of the United States the same liberty to take fish in the bays, harbors and creeks of Newfoundland as it does in the bays, harbors and creeks of Labrador? The tribunal is of opinion that American inhabi- tants are entitled to fish in the bays, creeks and harbors of the treaty coasts of Newfoundland and the Magdalen islands, and it is so decided and awarded. 7. Are the inhabitants of the United States, whose vessels resort to the treaty coasts for the purpose of exercising the liberties referred to in article I. of the treaty, entitled to have for those vessels, when duly authorized by the United States In that behalf, the commercial privileges on the treaty coasts accorded by agreement or otherwise to United States trading vessels generally? The tribunal is of opinion that the inhabitants of the United States are so entitled in so far as concerns this treaty, there being nothing In Its provisions to disentitle them, provided the treaty liberty of fishing and the commercial privileges are rot exercised concurrently, and it is so decid- ed and awarded. The document is signed by the five arbitrators, Dr. Drago, however, stating his dissent from the majority In respect to the 'findings in reply to the fifth Question. BECOBD OF DECISIONS.

FOUNDATION FOE THE PROMOTION OF INDUSTRIAL PEACE. Established in 1907. In 1906 President Theodore Roosevelt was award- ed tde Alfred B. Nobel peace prize and at his sug- gestion an act was passed by congress ' March 2, 1907. establishing the Foundation for the Promotion of Industrial Peace. To this organization he turned over the money received from the Nobel committee to be used as the nucleus of a fund the income of which is to be used in promoting an annual confer- ence in Washington between representatives of capital and of labor with a view to bringing about a better understanding between employers and em- ployes, thus promoting industrial peace. The chief justice of the United States, the secretary of agri- culture and the secretary of commerce and labor, and their successors in office, and four persons ap- pointed by the president of the United States to represent capital, labor and the general public, are the trustees. The trustees are authorized to pay over the funds from time to time to a committee of nine members, known as "the industrial peace committee." whose duty It is to make arrange- ments for the conferences. THE SAGE March 12, 1907, Mrs. Russell Sage of New York announced that she had set aside the sum of $10,- 000,000 to be known as the Sage foundation and to be devoted to the improvement of the social and living conditions in the United States. As trustees she appointed Robert W. DeForest, Cleveland H. Dodge, Daniel C. Gilman, John M. Glenn. Miss Helen Gould. Mrs. William B. Rice and Miss Louise L. Schuyler. Following is a part of the statement given out FOUNDATION. by Mrs. Snjre as to the object of the gift: "I have set aside $10.000,000 for the endowment of this foundation. Its object is the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States. The means to that end will include re- search, publication, education, the establishment and maintMiance of charitable and beneficial ac- tivities, agencies and institutions and the aid of any such activities, agencies and institutions al- ready established," CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1911.
