Why India Imports Buckets.
The Kuropeun element In India
makes a specially large use of Import
ed buckets and pails. For Instance,
there are very few houses In India,
except In Itombay and Calcutta, equip
ped with forced water supply and
pipes and faucets for turning on wa
ter (at least above the first floor).
This means that ail the water for
one's bath must be poured Into galvan

Into the bath room by servants or

Murat, thinking he should have his
throne by treachery, signed with Aus

order to pay at last with his life for

Washington. The Haitlen revolu
tlon, headed by Davllar Theodore, an
exiled senator recently driven Into
Ranto Domingo, has reached such pro
portions as to command the serious at
tention of the State Department. . The
success of a movement of this kind
might be regarded as a direct chal
lenge to the administration's policy of
disapproval of the erection of govern
ments by force and without refurcn
to the'forms of a constitution.
Secretary Bryan has already con
sulted with President Wilson, and with
Uoaz V. Long, chief or the Lat In
American Bureau of the State Depart
ment, as to Haitlen affairs.
News was received n the State De
partment from the American Legation
at I'ort au Prince that at Cape Haitlen,
threatened by the rebels, the citizetn
have formed a committee of public
safety, removed customs officials anil
placed a commission In charge.
Although no treaty exists, as In the
case of Santo Domingo, which clothei
the United States government with au
thority over the customs houses, it ii
understood that ample authority for
taking over Haitlen custom houses out
of control of the national government
has been proffered through Ulrlch
Duvlvier, resident Haitlen minister
here.
The naval force available is believed
to be quite sufficient for the purpose,
as the cruiser Montana, now at Port
nil Prince has a complement of 6'9
men. Including a company of marines,
the Petrol, now nt Santo Domingo city,
but within easy reach of Haitlen
wnters, has a crew of 120 bluejackets
and the gunboat Nashville at Cape
Haitien carries 225 men.

Facklers, Ala. Railroad detectives
and deputy scheriffs with bloodhounds,
are searching for three men' who loot

Southern Railway rassenger train near

and the two cars on a wild run disap
peared on horses. The train ran with
out a guiding hand at the throttle to
Larklnsvllle, Ala., 19 miles away,
where It stopped when the locomotive
went dead. The robbers obtained a
sum estimated at 1100 by blowing tl.e
express car safe. Their searth
through the mall car failed to produce
anything, as only second-class matter
was in the pouches.
