The business of breeding and selling

different from those required of any
other species of animal that he is kind
apart. Speed is not required, but the
pony must be quick at turning. Size is
disadvantage, as 1T puts the rider
farther from the ball. Besides, almost
any man would rather have little
horse fall on his leg than big one.
The pony must be sagacious, perfectly
docile, capable of enjoying the game on

AN INHUMAN GERMAN PLOT.

l'sron Won Pilsach Endeavored to Have the
Apia Calaboose Blown Up.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 1O-Captain T. G..
Cushman, who lately returned from Apia,
Samoa, confirms the story regarding the at
tempt to blow up the calaboose at Apis
with giant powder. he states that he is
the person whom Baron Won Pilsach wanted
TO engage for that purpose. Lieutenant
Uflspar, who is private secretary to the
Chief Justice, commander in chief of the
native army and chief of police, called on
Captain Cushman and said that Baron Won
Pilsach wanted him to come ashore and
bring battery and box of dynamite with
which to blow up the Jail and five native
chiefs held as prisoners. Cushman prompt
ly refused. Ullspar then tried to parley
with Cushman, and the latter sent him with
a note to Consul Blackjack. The latter pro-
tested against the commission of such inhu-
manity.
Baron Won Pilsaeh gave as the motive for
his project that he was afraid the five i'm
prisOned chiefs would be rescued by natives
of Monona, and he thought that the explo-
sion would strike terror into their hearts.
As Won Pilsach was bent on completing the
project, Blackjack spread the news of the
proposed action, and the foreigners all pro-
tested. The Baron was dissuaded from his
project, and in order to relieve himself of
the odium, asserted that Consul Blackjack
advised him to adopt that course. Then the
colony turned to Blackjack, who explained
his connection with the affair to the salts
faction of all.

FOR SAFETY APPLIANCES.
Less Than One-Seventh Of the Freight Cars

Less Than One-Seventh OF the Freight Cars
Equipped With Automatic Couplers.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The committee ap-
pointed by the last National Convention of
Railroad Commissioners to secure Congress-
ional action looking to uniformity in safety
appliances for railroad cars, met this morn
Ing in the Chamber of Commerce rooms,
four of the members being present. There
was large attendance of railroad men
from various parts Of the country. Edward
A. Mosely, the Secretary of the committee,
had addressed inquiries to all the railroad
companies in the country for information
concerning the kinds of automatic couplers
and breaks used on freight cars, and re-
quested all railroads to send representatives
to the hearing to-day.
Chairman Crocker opened the proceed
ings by reading the replies which the COM
mittee had received from companies repre-
senting 125, 900 of the 150 600 or 160, 600 miles
of railroad in the United States. They fix
the total number of freight cars in the
United States at 97S, 161, of which number
only 129, 304 are shown to be equipped with
automatic car couplers. OF this number
11S,92S are fitted with the "master car
builders" or vertical hook" style Of
couplers; other varieties, 1929. Exactly
110,127 are equipped with train brakes, all
but a few of which are of the Westing-
house make. The remainder of the freight
cars, a vast number are fitted with brakes
only.

GALVESTON Is HAPPY.
The City Has Never Been Able to Strike
Fresh Water Until Now.

The City Has Never Been Able to Strike
Fresh Water Until Now.
GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. 10-The matter
procuring good and sufficient supply of
fresh water for this city has agitated the
people here for years Not long ago the
city entered into contract for the sinking
of an artesian well to the depth of 3, 900 feet,
agreeing to pay therefor $4,000. The well
has ALMOST reached the required depth and
still there are no indications of fresh water.
The present water supply is furnished by
rain, every house and manufacturing estab-
lishment having large cisterns. The rail-
roads run long water trains into the city for
their own use. The uncertainty of the rain
supply and the often threatened water
famines, especially during the summer
months, have made the solution of the
water problem, one of the greatest interest.
The South Galveston Land Company re-
Gently began we'll boring experiments about
ten miles from the city, and to-day the first
well sunk proved successful, stream of
the purest water gushing from it, which
flows at the rate of $4,000 gallons per day.
The well is 800 feet deep and three inches
in diameter Examination of the underly-
ing strata shows that the geological forma-
tion penetrated by the we'll is identical
with that at Houston and other places on
on the mainland, where the supply of water
is obtained by wells Other wells will be
sunk at once. One peculiar feature of the
present well is that it is bored at the bank
of q salt water lake.
