the Bird.
One of the best known of the sea
birds is the stormy petrol. 1t is
oftenest seen during storms flying
above the waves in search of the she'll
fish and other small animals that are
brought to the surface by the tempest,
says st. Nicholas The sailors call
petrels Mother Carey's chickens"
and do not view them with much favor,
owing to their being constant compan-
ions of storms. Jack" thinks that
rough weather may be expected when
ne sees petrels about and is not quite
sure that they do not in some way
cause the tempest. When the bird is
on the lookout for its prey it seems to
walk on the water. Hence the sea-
men of olden time, in allnsion to the
Apostle Peters walking on the water,
called the bird petrol, from the Latin
Petrellus, Little Peter"
So far from the sailor being super
stitious as to the capture of another
kind of petrol, the cape pigeon, which
is of black-and-white color and about
the size of a tame pigeon, I have
known s'Jack" to take hand occa-
sionany in capturing them as bit of
recreation during dog-watch.
In southern latitudes the cape pi-
geons follow ship in thousands A
common bottle cork is tied to the end
of piece of thread and trailed astern
SO that the cork touches the water.
This gives the required tautness to the
thread.
As the birds fly in clouds from side
to side astern some of them constantly
strike the thread with their wings and
the resistance is enough to turn them
over it, when the thread is wrapped
around the wing and the bird is hauled
on board. In this manner l have seen
hundreds caught in a day.
On one occasion clipper ship carry
ing passengers to India captured
pigeons by hundreds and the surgeon
by some mischance succeeded in en-
tangling stormy petrol.
Now, the doctor was an enthusiastic
naturalist and what to the sailors is
known as 'land-lubber" that is, he
was on his first voyage. The doctor at
once took the specimen to his cabin
and made preparations to skin and
preserve it. In hot haste a deputation
of seamen, headed by the old gray
haired sail-maler, came aft with re-
quest that the petrol be set at liberty,
saying that otherwise the ship and all
on board would surely suffer.
The doctor, somewhat surprised, in
tended to set the bird free, but his en-
thusiasm as naturalist prevailed
over the superstitious warning and
when the sailors had disappeared the
bird was added TO his collection. The
fact soon became known forward
among the men and the doctor was re-
garded with black looks by the crew
for the remainder of the voyage.
In the course of time the good ship
anchored in the Hugil river and that
day at dinner the doctor suddenly
died
There was gathering OF the sailors
around the windlass that dog-watch |
and the doctors sudden death was at
tributed by the superstitious sailors to
his slaughter of the stormy petrol.

If Sioux City Will Guarantee Immunity
From Arrest.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Tom O'Rourke,
who is looking after Peter J%ackson's in
terest in this city, said when he saw
The Worlds fac smile Of the Sioux
City Athletic clubs check: every
good. Those checks seem to be all
right. I know the amount is perfectly
satisfactory to Peter. The one thing
that he is anxious about is the ability of
the club to arrange a fight without
police interference. What he wants
particularly is a guarantee of immunity
from arrest.
"Peter would also like to see and talk
to a representative Of the Sioux City
club. He wishes to know exactly what
is demanded in the articles it may for
ward. When I meet the Sioux City
clubs representative I will telegraph
Jackson to come to New York. I don't
see any reason now why Corbett and
Jackson should not fight" *

REPORT
Southern Pacific Officials Say the Reported
Heavy Loss Is Ridiculous.

Southern Pacific officials Say the Reported
Heavy Loss Is Ridiculous.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3.-The South
ern Pacific officials here had full ad-
vices from the seat of the storm in
Texas up to II o'clock a. M. and said
that the reports of damages to the track
and of the amount Of loss to the South
ern Pacific had been exaggerated. Dis
patches received from the general man
ager, who is in Texas, show that the
principal damage sustained by the road
near Uvalde, Tex, was the washing
away of iron spans Of bridges over the
Leona, Hondo and Secor rivers. This
was caused by cloudbursts in the
mountains near the head of these
streams which brought down a vast
amount of water against these bridges.
Although they are Of the most substan-
tial construction, of the heaviest iron
work on solid stone piers, the bridges
were damaged to such an extent as to
prevent the passage Of trains until re-
pairs can be made. The wires have
been repaired anda temporary office
opened at Secor bridge, enabling the
officers to get accurate information from
the seat of trouble. Officials say that
the report that 40 miles Of track was
washed away, and that $l,250,000 loss is
involved is ridiculous.

Streams Dry Up and Farmers Fear the
Loss of Crops i'll Western New York,
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 3.-Western
New York is almost literally burning
up. The drouth is without precedent.
Farmers mourn the loss of crops and
fear havoc by fire and starvation Of
stock. Counties like Chautauqua and
Erie, which have dairy interests of great
magnitude, are the chief sufferers, but
unless rainfall speedily and CO.
piously this entire end of the state will
experience a financial loss which it can
i'll afford. The bordering province of
Ontario is similarly parched.
Serious damage has been done to pas
ture lands, and the condition is aggra-
waited by the scourge of grasshoppers.
Lake ~Chautauqua has fallen ~ feet,
and many streams in the vicinity are
utterly dried up, many farmers being
forced to carry water many miles to
water their stock. Great damage has
been done to the dairy interests and a
milk famine is feared, ~

SCENE OF DESTRUCTION.
Damage to Crops in the Leona River VAL
lev Estimated at Half Million.

Damage to Crops in the Leona River VAL
ley Estimated at Half a Million.
ST.LoU1s, Sept. 3.-A special telegram
from San Antonio to The Post Dispatch
says: The scene of destruction and des-
olation in the flooded district for a dis
trict for a distance Of 100 miles east and
west from here, and extending south
from the Southern Pacific railroad to
the Rio Grande, 200 miles away, is sim
ply terrible. Thousands Of acres of pas
ture and farm land are still under
water. It is estimated that the damage
to crops in the valley Of the Leona river
alone will reach $5OO,OOO, while in the
valleys Of the Saco and Sabima rivers
the losses will be fully as much more.
Many thousand head of cattle. horses
and sheep were drowned.
Later Reports More Alarming.
Reports received during the morning
are more alarming than the earliep
ones. It is still a matter Of uncertainty
as to the number Of lives lost, but addi-
tions to the list of drowned are con
stantly being added. About one half.
Of the houses in Uvalde, a town Of 800
people, were carried away, and there is
much suffering there by homeless fami-
lies, but no more fatalities are reported
there. Nothing has yet been heard
from the settlement Of rs families sew
eral miles below Uvalde, but there are
still grave fears that many, if not ALL
Of them were swept down by the tor-
rent and lost.

,pected and business, if good in COM
parison with last year, is still poor in
comparison with years preceding. Pre-
sumably there has not been time to feel
the full effects Of the change and a
gradual gain will be more healthy and
encouraging than a spasmodic rise, but
the expansion Of commercial loans has
suddenly ceased.
Prices of Manufactured Products
show weakness rather than strength
and there has been a reaction in the
stock market. Wheat moves largely
and Western receipts were 3,762, III
bushels for the week against 1928, Dol
last year and for August %, 800, 900
bushels against 10, 900 last year,
which does not fit short crop predic-
tions. Atlantic exports for the month
have been only $4,000, 900 bushels
against $4,000, 900 last year and the
price has risen a shade during the
week. Cotton has declined an eighth
for the week, but the year closes with
every indication of a yield materially
exceeding the worlds maximum con
sumption of American and with l,6O0,-
900 bales of old cotton in sight. If all
the mills were running full force, the
situation
Would Not Promise Much.
The demand for products Of iron and
steel has increased, but prices tend
downward where any change appears
as there is not enough business yet to
employ the works in operation. Fail
ures r still few and small. For the
third week Of August reported liabili-
ties were 81, 976, 518, but for three weeks
only $S,224,4 70, of which So, S45, 1913
We're of manufacturing and So, sS4,414 of
trading concerns. The average is only
$11,521 per firm trading. The failures
this week have been 1888 in the United
States, against 1856 last year, and 40 in
Canada, against 81 last wear.

The Great Son of Hartford Makes the Fast
est Mile Ever Paced.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Sept. 2.-Masoot,I
Flying Jib and Nancy Hanks have been
dethroned and Robert ] stands the king
Of harness horses. The great son of
Hartford. driven by Ed Geers, made
the fastest mile ever paced in harness,
lowering the worlds record of 2:04 to
2:03A. The track was in excellent con-
dition and the weather was warm with
light breeze, but not enough to inter
fere with good work. Excitement was
at fever heat when it was announced
that Robert J would go. Geers ap-
peared confident as he held the lines
and everybody expected that he would
equal his record, yet hardly any one
expected the wonderful time. After
about 10 minutes spent in warming him
up Geers nodded for the word. Starter
Walker gave it and Robert J
Shot Forward Like an Express Train.
On to the first quarter he sped in 3OA.
Everybody watched the half and when
that was passed in 1:01 then the nerves
OF 5000 people were wrought up to the
highest tension. Geers slowed up just
q trife, but when the three-quarter
post was passed in 1889 all were GER
tain a worlds record would be broken.
Geers again let the great horse out and
as he swung into the home stretch down
he came like the wind and crossed the
wire in 2:03A, making the last quarter
in jast 80 seconds. The crowd was al
most breathless until the wire was
crossed and as the time was caught by
hundreds of watches one mighty shout
rent the air and it was a most enthusi-
astic demonstration that took place.

GOOD Will RESULT Result
Chairman Wright Of the Strike Com
mission Expresses His Conf
dence in
THE BENEFICIAL RESULTS
Of the Strike Investigation---Report
to Be Submitted to Congress at
Its Next Session.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Colonel G. D.
Wright, chairman Of the strike inves-
tigation commission, returned here
from Chicago and left soon after for
Boston. He will remain away until
Sept. IS, and on the day following the
strike investigation will be resumed in
this city. In an interview with an
Associated Press reporter Commissioner
Wright expressed his confidence i'll the
beneficial results Of the inquiry, and
summed up the work Of the commission
by saying: ga number Of newspaper
statements as to what the commission
is likely to recommend have been
brought to my notice. The commission,
however, has formulated no recomda-
tions, decided on none and all such
statements are mere guess work. I
consider the investigation thoroughly
successful. All leading men on both
sides, railroad leaders and Pullman Off
cials freely gave testimony, and the in
vestigation was conducted fearlessly
and impartially, and in the most search
ing manne believe it will do great
good in the end, and that out Of it will
come some most valuable recommends
tions. The commission sat IA days and
examined 107 witnesses. It has now
adjourned tomeet in Washington on the
Goth for the purpose Of hearing any tes-
timony which may be considered neces-
saryfor the completion Of the report and
which parties on either side Of the con-
troversy may deem essential to the case.
In the meantime each member Of the
commission will be hard at work study
ing the testimony already furnished,
the laws bearing on the various features
involved in the investigation and pre-
pairing himself for the commissions
final report. Our plan is to have the
report ready by the middle Of Novem-
Der and to submit it to congress early
in the next session. As the testimony
taken will cover over 1900 pages, the
magnitude Of the undertaking becomes
apparent"

Details are lacking, but there seems
no doubt that the whole town has been
wiped from the face Of the earth.
The loss of life, if any, will not be SO
great as in other places, because people
have had time to find place Of safety.
Barnum is a town between Hinokley
and Carlton, on the St. Paul and Du-
luth, about 10 miles south of Carlton.
