International Movement to Make the
\ ear Into Four Equal l**»lods of
Three Months Kurh and Each
Ninety-One Days Fong.
Boston, Sept. 24.— The Interna-
tional movement to reform tlie cal-
endar is making excellent progress,
said Louis Cannon-1.(‘Grand today
in his address at the opening of the
Fifth International Congress of
Chambers of Commerce. M, Can-
noti-LeUrand, who is iiresidont of
the Congress, is also the '.lead of
its permanent comivit'ee, president
of I lie Chamber of Commerce of
Mons, Belgium, and president of
the Federation of Commercial and
Industrial associations of that coun-
try.
The principal purpose of the new
calendar movement, he asserted,
was to make the months of more
nearly uniform length and to estab-
lish a fixed date for Easter. Ho
pointed out the benefit of such a re-
form from a hanking and commer-
cial standpoint.
To take formal action in the mat-
ter, lie reported, the permanent
committee lias Induced tlie Swiss
government to invite tlie various
governments of Europe to an inter-
national diplomatic conference.
The American government, he add-
ed, has not yet been sounded, be-
cause it was considered advisable
first to make sure of the official co-
operation of the governments of
Europe. Since Switzerland lias
no official representative at the
Vatican, the committee took upon
Itself to sound the attitude of the
Holy See, since the question was
largely that of fixing the dates of
legal holidays. ’ We know, from
a reliable source, that the Holy See
has submitted flip question of the
reform of the calendar to the con-
sideration of the Congregation of
Rites. It is stated further that
this examination would probably he
quite lengthy, since it would give
rise to ail investigation throughout
ail Christian countries.”
“To work out a calendar,” M.
Cannon l.eGrand continued, "it Is
essential to hear in mind that an
astronomical year consists of 365.-
2122166 days. It being impossible
lo base a calendar oh so large a
number, the year has been length-
ened to 3 65 days and a quarter.
Then, under Pope Gregory, this
lengthening has been compensated
by the dropping of three days in
the space of four centuries. If,
now, we again round off the figure
and bring it to exactly 365 days the
annual shortening of the year is
compensated by tne addition of one
day, the 2'Jtli day of February,
each fourth year. But 36;> is not
divisible by " so that, the year is
not made up of a whole number of
weeks. it would be sufficient,
however, to bring the number of
days to 361 to adjust everything.
■ The bnsis of the reform is the
in gen I us idea of withdrawing from
the regular course of the weeks the
first day of January. The first of
January would lie New Year’s Day.
This aay is already, according to
our customs mroughout the civilized
world, devoted to quite different oc-
cupations from those of other days
of the year: it therefore possesses
a peculiar character and deserves
to he distinguished from all oilier
days.
“In leap year a day would be In-
terpolated, to be known as "leap
day,” which would be placed, ac-
cording to some, after the 30th of
June, or, according to others, at
carnival time. This, of course, is a
mere detail.
“If we therefore concede that the
day following New Year's Day shall
be January Vst, we can then divide
the year into four equal periods of
lliree months each ; each 91 days long
and, bv a happy coincidence, each
of these quarters would consist of
exactly 13 weeks.
•’It will therefore be sufficient
to consider one of these quarters
to understand the w.iole.
‘Mil order not to change too much
our present customs, we divide the
quarter into three months, consist-
ing of 30, 30 and 31 days. Only
the last month of each quarter
would have 31 days, and the 31st

Tucson, Ariz., Sept. 24.—After a
chase through Northern Sonora by
Mexican federal troops, after his
raid on mining camps, auu lines of
the Southern Pacific, Gen. Emilio
Campa, the rebel leader, and his
staff, crossed the American line
south of Tucson and now are pris-
oners of the I'niiel State's. After
positive identification by Dr. Buffo,
a friend, Campa admitted hjs identi-
ty and said he was tired of fighting.
Dr. Ruffo was surgeon general for
.Madiero in the previous revolution.
Campa was captured by United
States Marshal C. A. Overlock, Sher-
iff Nelson and a deputy, without re-
sistance. He had sent t wo men into
Tucson Saturday night to procure
automobiles, lint they were arrested,
and after questioning told of the lo-
cation of the remainder of their
party of ten.
The rebel leader declared he was
surprised by the unexpected opposi-
tion he met at the hands of the fed-
erals under Gen. Girone who gave
him a seven-hour battle at Altar.
Hard pushed by the pursuing fed-
erals, and practically without, am-
munition, lie decided to seek safety
in tlie United States, witli the faint
hope that he might be able to get
ammunition at Casas Grandes or
Gila Bend, west of Tucson.
Stories that Campa got out witli
$300,000 as tlie result of his cam-
paign of loot through Northern Son-
ora are denied by the United States
authorities, who assert the rebel
chief had hut $100 when arrested.
His companions had about $200
each. All of the prisoners are being
held pending orders from the depart-
ment of justice.

municated witli ills government with

Amarillo, Tex., Sept. 24.— Mrs.
T. E. McKihben In the Sneed case
testified' that* the Monday before the

After tlie Shooting.
Dallas, Sept. 24.—George Poyn-
ter, a well-known saloon man of Dal-
las and proprietor of the imperial
hotel bar, was shot and so badly
wounded last night that he died at
the Emergency hospital soon after
he had been taken to that place.
The shooting was done by Jesse Gar-
ner, brother-in-law of Roynter, and
occurred in the saloon at the imper-
ial hotel.
The shooting of Roynter followed
the shooting earlier in the evening
of Roynter's wife, who is a sister of
Garner. The woman was shot In
the head by Roynter, but was not
seriously injured. She is in a local
sanitarium, and the physicians who
attended her say that the bullet from
Roynter's revolver just grazed her
head. What led to the first shoot-
ing is not known, but Garner shot
Roynter because he had shot his
wife.
Poynter was about 35 years of
age and was well known in this city

rant business in Pallas, but is a

and has beat her up several times.”
