From the Omaha Bee. One effect of Nebraska's new law for election of national convention delegates by direct vote that has escaped attention is its nulification of the unit rule, that time-honored feature of the organic law of the Democratic party. Under the unit rule it is the privilege of the Democrats in any State to decree through their State convention that the vote of the de legation in national convention shall be cast as a unit, and as a majori ty of the delegates decide. The Democratic delegations from Nebras ka have almost invariably been .un der unit rule instructions and have been voted solid on all questions, whether pertaining to organization, to the seating of contested delega tions, to the platform, or to the nominees- With the delegates elect ed by direct vote, each responsible only to his own constituency and tinder no instructions whatever ex cept the preferential vote on Pres ident and Vice President, there will be no way of invoking or enforcing the unit rule, and the vote of the delegation will go solid or split ac cording to the individual poll; and not as the majority dictates. "We do not wish to be understood as intimating that this will not be a good thing, because it will mere ly be making the Democratic pro cedure conform to that of the Re publican national convention, which has never recognized the unit rule. The justification of the unit rule by the Democrats has been that it is a necessary compliment of the requirement of two-thirds to nom inate. If it becomes the general practice, the direct election of na tional convention delegates will certainly put an end to the unit rule, and may carry down the two thirds vote to nominate along with it. Standard Oil Reorganization. G. G. Hill, in the New York Tri bune. Discussing the effect of the de cision in the Standard Oil case, the President directed the attention of some of his callers to the fact that any sort of reorganization which the Standard Oil Company may undertake will have to be sub mitted in all its details to the At torney General for approval. This is in pursuance of the decree of the circuit court which the Supreme court aflirmed. As has been pointed wywnceiTaDt&-Klndor reor-' ganization which would effect a mon opoly has been specifically prohibit ed by the decree of the court.with a further prohibition against any sort of reorganization which would attain that end, but of which the court could not conceive, and now It appears that any proposed form of reorganization must meet with the approval of the Department of Justice before it can pass as not within the prohibition of the court. Under these circumstances the ad ministration is wholly satisfied with Its victory, and is thoroughly con .Vinced that as a monopoly the Stand ard Oil Company has been destroy ed for all time. Wooden False Teeth. Spokane Dispatch to the New York World.

Suggestion That Statuary Hall Be Used While Improvements Are Made. Washington Dispatch to New York Evening Post. How to take care of a House of Representatives of even 391 members so that all may hear and see what is going on in the House is no small problem in itself. What to do vith a House of 433 members is a sMU more difficult matter- Imag ine, then, the troubles of Elliott Woods, superintendent of the Caniiol. when he has before him, not only a law of Congress ordering bim to reduce the size or the pres ent chamber about one-third, but also the money with which to do the job, while at the same time Congress persists in sitting inaeti uiteiy, giving him lio opportunity whatever to do the work assigned him. For a week an effort has been made to get the commission in r.harsp of the proposed improve ments of the House chamber to gether for the purpose of deciding whether the work of remodeling the Hnnsft shall be undertaken provided this Congrses shall adjourn on or before July 1. It has been estimaiea that it will probably take about seven months to complete the work, so that, in any event ,the changes could not be completed before the next meeting of Congress in Decem ber. At the present time Mr. Woods has before him the authorization, hte money, and the plans, to a stick of timber, or a brick, or a pound of steel has yet been ordered. There is no certainty when Congress will adjourn. Should the commission choose to take the responsibility, Mr. Woods could probably accumu late about $150,000 worth of mate rial by the middle of July. Some of it would be delivered before Con gress adjourned, provided adjourn ment occurred about July 1- He would not be willing personally to assume the responsibility of piling up an immense mass of material be fore the doors of the House which could not be used, except in part, in the near future. Furthermore, there is all the debris to come out of the present House. On the other hand, the situation in the present House is almost in tolerable. The entire floor space of the chamber, with the exception of the narrow aisles, is completely cov ered with the desks of members When the House is increased to 433, as is proposed by the new reap portionment bill, the only alterna tive will be to tear out the present desks in order that the entire mem bership may be seated. Such a plan is carried in the proposed im provements, as it would be impossi ble to put desks in a hall one-third smaller than the present one. In the event that the work of re modeling the chamber of the House is begun in July, and not sufficient ly completed- by December for the House to use its chamber, another complication arises. It has been suggested that the House might, under such circumstances, meet in Statuary Hall, formerly the cham-iw?-ofM-ouBe,Tir-ii time when the membership ' was about half of that of the present House. It is cer tain that the entire membership of the present House could not be ac commodated in this hall unless all the members remained standing throughout the session. Just what provision would be made in such zn emergency would have to be de termined later, Whether the work of remodeling the House is to be undertaken at all this year will pro bably be decided in a few days- TO GRAFT HUMAN LIMBS. Specialist Did so With Animals and Experts to With Man. Chicago Dispatch to the New York Press. "Surgery has made such rapid strides in the last year that I con fidently expect the grafting of arms and legs on human beings will be accomplished within a short time," said Dr. Victor D. Lespinasse.of the medical staff of the Northwestern University. Through a series of operations at the medical college. Dr. Lespinasse has attained world-wide fame as a specialist in repairing diseased tis sues. He is the discoverer of the system of linking arteries together by the use of rings of magnesium. "The one thing that has stood in the way of the successful graft ing of limbs."continued the snecia.1- Jst, "is to obtain subjects willing to make the sacrifice to the use of science. No one is willing to give up a perfectly good leg or arm to another man who has lost his. The grafted limbs must be alive.of course to make .the operation successful There are a score of different con ditions which must be met before the operation can be attempted. I believe that some physician soon will meet all the conditions and make a success of it. "More than a year ago we attepmt ed limb grafting on animals- The ar teries were nitted together and the blood circulated freely. We did not have a single death; the animals are alive now. If the operation is successful with aniamls, there is no reason why- human beings cannot be mended in the same way." Protest in Rhyme. From the New York Press. Montclair's famous antinoise or dinance, which prescribes that dogs shall not bark after 9 o'clock at night, apparently does not apply ef fectively to cats. A "Valley road woman made the following protest to the authorities against nocturnal eat solos and chorouses near her home: The days in Montclair are delight fully fair, but in the night when you dream, you are 'roused by the scream of the favored cats of the creme de la creme-" When a man can't resist writing insane letters it's a sign it's a love affair. The balder-a man gets, the more pride he can take in his! mustache. KING OF THE PICKPOCKETS. Canadian Student for Priesthood De liberately Chose Career of Crime. From the New York Press. Nine years ago a young Canadian who had been a student for the Ro man Catholic preisthood, watched a man steal a pocketbook and forth with resolved to follow the thief's example. The same man, who is George Parker, 22 years old, was brought to police headquarters from the penitentiary in St. Louis, Mo., on a charge of picking a man's pock et In July, 1906. He has a criminal record which has earned for him the title "King of the Pickpockets." "Well, I made good didn't I?" said Parker defiantly, when ques tioned about his shady career by the headquarters detectives- After I saw that fellow pinch a guy's roll up there in Quebec nine years ago I told him if he could do it I could and I guess I've got him beat. I don't mind telling you I've copped more than $50,000 since I've been in the game. Why, I pulled down $5,000 or thereabouts following Roosevelt around in his campaign for the Presidency in 1904- Believe me, Teddy got those crowds so hypnotized that my taking money from them was easier than teaching a dog to bark!" The way the New York police dis covered Parker's whereabouts is interesting. John L. Sullivan, one of the sleuths attached to Brooklyn headquartres was in St. Louis a short time ago on leave of absence. He made an inspection of the pen itentiary and there he saw, peer ing from the bars of a cell, the former theological student of Que bec. Parker's term in St. Louis was to have expired in June next, so Sullivan had little difficulty in induc ing the authorities to parole him in Brooklyn detective s custody. ; Parker is well educated, and speaks three languages. His police record shows he was captured in Allen county, Ohio, in 1901 under the name of Frank McDonald, and sent to jail in Columbus for three years. He was discharged on Feb ruary 21, 1906- In July, 1908, he was arrested in Quebec as a pick pocket. As George Wheeler the police of Omaha, Neb.arrested him and another man, named John Col lins, on August 21, 1909, and in San Francisco shortly afterward he figured on a police blotter as James McCarthy. Parker's conviction in St. Louis on June 14,1 9 10, folio wed an attack made by him and three other men on Ernest Weiman, a farmer, who was in the city to "'see the sights- Weiman drew a revolver, but Parkei knocked the weapon from his hand and robbed him of $40, for which he was sentenced to one year. PIRATES ON HONEYMOON. Baltimore Girl Bride on Ship At tacked on the Chinese Coast. From the New York Times After one year of married life, most of which was spent at-sea,Mrs. Frank Downs has returned to her native land. Until her marriagt a year ago to Frank Downs, skipper of the bie: British. , barfc Juteopoiis, 'wutenr-ims" arrived from the Far East, Mrs. Downs was Miss Nellie Carter of Baltimore. She made her first deep-sea voyage- and her honey moon trip in the bark, and the log of the vessel shows it was a live ly honeymoon, including an attack by Chinese pirates at Whampoa,near Canton. The day the vessel came to anchor in the Canton River the pi rates appeared just at dusk in two sampans. Capt. Downs, being wise to the ways of pirates in that part of the world did not allow his men to go on shore, and, according to Mate Harold J. Symons, who is a poker player, they were welcomed by a full house- There were thirty pirates in each sampan, all intent upon murder or loot. As the Chinamen glided alongside the crew was waiting with fire hose. The first sampan was direct ly alongside when the captain gave the word start the water, and in an instant the pirates were splutter ing and dodging. Some of the men In the other sampan were clamber ing up the side before the water reached them. They showed a dispo sition to linger, but were sent scurrying over the side by the dis charge of small arms. Word of the encounter reached Canton . and a few days afterward Capt Downs, his wife, and the crew received an invitation from the city authorities to witness the exe cution of ten Pirates- The invitation was declined. It was Mate Harold J. Symons who was the subject of the next entry of note in the log. When the bark was off Whampoa he saw a child fall overboard from a sampan and dived after it. With it he swam toward the sampan, only to be wraned away. As he persisted, he was driv en off by the crew with bamboo poles- When he got back on the Juteo polis the crew wanted to adopt the baty for a ship's mascot. Capt. Downs outvoted them, however.and the baby was turned over to the captain of an oil tank,who promised to see that it was turned over to the proper authorities. Itiis. Downs, who is handy with a rifle, shot many sharks, and Capt. Downs showed pictures of her stand ing between two big fellows she had "brought down."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. An easy way to avoid spats with a woman is not to be married to hei A man never has as much money in. the hearing of his family as of other people.

A woman has such an imagina tion she knows how brave her hus band is when he waits to go down stairs to see if there are burglars, but doesn't because it would scare her more than she already is.

Suggested Tjroops Herd Starving Ani mals in Jacksons Hole Country Salem (Oreg.) Dispatch to the New York American. At least 30,000 elk must be mov ed from Jacksons Hole or they will die of starvation. For the last few years the State of Wyoming- has ; been appropriating large sums for hay to keep these animals rrom starving, and each winter finds con ditions worse. It is estimated that at least 5Q.000 elk winter in the Jacksons Hole cotuntry, a large area south of the Yellowstone Park. The elk scatter during the summer months, many of them grazing in the park, but as winter approaches they converge toward their old win ter quarters. These quarters were ample before the homesteader came to fence the lands- The elk would feed on the rich grass of the val leys in vthe fall, work up on the sheltered hillsides in the winter,and when necessity urged descend to the creeks and browse among the young willows and other foliage until the spring grass came. The homestead er's fence has made this- impossi ble now, and each years lessens the amount of open range. The result is that, despite the large amount of feed furnished them by the State, each winter sees an enormous death loss of this fast-disappearing game animal. Driven to desperation from hun ger, the elk will break down the strongest barbed wire fence sur rounding a haystack, and during a portion of the winter the settlers must guard their hay night and day. LP Keleabjle Zell's FertflizerlForJ Tobacco. A Test of Fifty Years Has Proved Them To Be The Best. ZelTs TobacccT Fertilizer. Zell's Bright Tobacco Grower.

The elk have been -known to mount? upon the fallen bodies of their com panions, and thus climb. to the top of a thatched roof shed, where they would voraciously devour the rotten hay or straw used as a roof covering. The attempt to drive them any where, and in a band numbering thousands, seems an impossible task yet the government appropriation is sufficient evidence that this feat will be undertaken. Senator Warren has also obtained a promise from the War Department for sufficient cavalrymen to herd the elk. A tentative plan suggested is to have the vast herd surrounded by a cor don of troopers on all sides save the one in the direction it is de sired to drive the elk, with two ad ditional lines of cavalrymen strung out along the course. A closing in of this circle must start .the elk on the course and the unique race would be on. At a given signal the outriders along the course would also move forward, keeping well in advance of the fleeing herd. Detachments to serve ; as relays for these riders would have, to be stationed at inter vals, along the - proposed route, and the surging, struggling mass kept ! moving until the goal was reached.
