SEVEN DAYS AHEAD
PACIFIC COAST PEOPLE HAVE
HAD THEIR EASTER.
Ambitious Astronomers Figure That the
First Fuil Moon After the spring Equ,-
nox Arrived Saturday Night.

San Francisco. March 30.-A special
from Tacoma, Wash, says: 1t was
Easter Sunday yesterday on the Pa
cific slope, although probably not more
than half a dozen people knew it,
Those who did know IL are ambitious
astronomers and mathematicians
They find that the first full moon after
the spring equinox put in an appear
ance on this coast shortly after 10
O'Clock Saturday night, and IL is a fact
that the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the spring equinox Is Easter
Sunday the world over. This is the first
instance of the kind since the beginning
of the Christian era and this part of
the Pacific slope has its Easter Sunday
a week in advance Of the rest of the
world

Strong was arrested this afternoon at Ra-
VIENNA, Portage county. and charged with
the murder of Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin ~.

The evidence on which the charge is
based is largely circumstantial Thirteen
years ago Strong was sent to the penitcn-
tiary for horse stealing. his conviction
being secured by the testimony OF Stone.
Several years later. after his relase from
prison. he was arrested again for the
same crime and again convicted on the

Immediately after the tragedy he was
suspected of the murder of Stone and his
wife. When taken into custody to-day
Strong said he was at the home OF his sis

Tho racing men who follow the ma
tional circuit have requested that an
official Handicapped be specially deput-
ed to go the rounds. The racing board
has the matter under advisement. Last
year the circuit riders were handi-
capped by different man at almost ev-
cry meet, and the mark originally al
lotted to q competitor sometimes re-
mained unaltered for weeks. 1t is re-
corded that one man in the circuit last
year was placed on the 35-yard mark
for one month In one-mile handicap
races, although he had repeatedly failed
to score from the mark.
The bicycle "cops'' found as usual
plenty Of field for their labors yester-
day. says the New York Tribune. Why
is it. by the way. that a bicycle "cop"
always catches his man when once he
has started for him? The cop" Is
usually as fat as q guinea pig, as clumsy
as hippopOtamus and In just about as
good training as circus monkey after

catches his man. There seems to be
no explanation for the phenomenon un-
less It be that the natural disadvant-
ages Of the officer of the law are Offset
by the consciousness that the might
Of the state is behind his flying wheels,
while the legs of the miscreant who Is

sctousness of his moral turpitude.
