WASHINGTON, April 17. — Secre
tary of State Lansing holds the
world's long distance ambidexterity
record. That is, he claims it. But
Secretary Baker claims it, too. The
evidence is here submitted for pub
lis decision.
Secretary Lansing gave an exhibi
tion of handling diplomatic correspon
dence with one hand and dashing off
enticing profiles of charming Gibson
girls with the other, smoking a pipe
the while.
Secretary Baker signed army offi
cers’ commissions with one hand,
handed them to a messenger witli the
other, listened to his secretary read
the day’s accumulation of mail and
dictated replies, all at the same time,
smoking a pipe the while. The race
Is neck and neck.
CUTTING CLOTH
TO SIZE OF
(By Associated Tress)
MEXICO CITY, April 17. — Plans
are now under consideration for sim
plifying and cutting down the plans
of the new legislative palace. Work
on this great building which is inten
ded to house the Mexican congress,
and which as projected, would have
been the largest legislative building
in the world, was begun under Presi
dent Diaz. The steel framework of
the building was completed, but no
work has been done on the building
since 1910. It is estimated that it
would cost $32,000,000 to complete the
building under the original plans, and
It Is proposed to simplify these plans
and utilize the work already done to
form part of a less pretentious strue
ture.
MKX1CO CITY, April 17. — The'
private railway ear formerly used by |

has been presented to the National
Museum by (leneral Heriberto Jara.

over fifty years ago. Is a beautiful
piece of workmanship, the Interior
decorations representing incidents In
the life of St. Patrick. When the Con
stitutionalist army left Mexico City
for Vera Cruz in 1914 the car was
pressed into use, and has been in op
oration throughout the campaigns
since that time.

104 GUNNERIES
(By Associated Press)
SRWARD, April 16. — There will
be operated along the coast of Alaska
front Ketchikan in the south to the
Nushagak section In the north. 104 sal
mon canneries this season. Approxi
mately 30,000 men will be employed
for an average of ninety days.
It was the old idea that a salmon
cannery must be located on or near
the mouth of some river up which the
salmon run to the spawning grounds,
but this fallacy has been exploded and
the salmon packers are looking for
tlie places where the most fish can
be caught at sea with purse seines.
Pish taken In salt water are of su
perior quality to those caught after
reaching the fresh streams, where the
salmon at once begin to deteriorate.
Por the most part, however, these
canneries are grouped near the fresh
water streams, in many places there
is from 500 to 600 miles of coast line
taking Into account all the indenta
tions and deep cut fjords without a
cannery in sight.
Many new canneries are being con
structed this spring, including three
on the Alaska peninsula.
Already the packers are beginning
to take precautions to safeguard the
supply of fish and to seek the destruc
tion of any animal which preys upon
or destroys the salmon. To this end
a bill has been introduced at Juneau
before the territorial legislature by
which a bounty of $5 per head will be
placed on hair seal. This animal and
the so-called sea lion eat more fish
each season than woujd keep many
canneries supplied. A herd of several
thousand live just outside Resurrec
tion bay, which it is estimated by
those informed, eat more in a day than
could be handled by a two line can
nery, or about 30,000 fish daily.
Another improvement being tried
out Is the establishment of a cold stor
age plant In connection with every
cannery. When the run Is at Its
height in Bristol bay more fish are
caught in a day than can possibly be
packed before the time limit placed
by law within which the fish must be
canned after being caught expires. The
result is the left-overfish are wasted.
