Lighthouse Board Stops Robbery OF
GuilIemots on the Farra1loness
At the solicitation of the Committee on
Bird Protection of the American Orni-
biologists Union, of which Prof. Leyerett
NJ LOOMS of the California Academy OF
Sciences is q member, the Government
officials have set the seal of their dlspleas-
ure on the importing of seabirds eggs
from the Farrallones. The lighthouse
board at Washington, which has the al
fairs of the Farrallones in charge as a
sort of United States Government pre-
serve, has issued a decree that the trahc
in the eggs of the seabirds must cease.
The mandate of the lighthouse board WIN
bring to close unique industry OF San
Francisco. The eggs of the murre, OF
foolish guiilemot. have been shipped to the
markets of San Francisco in great guam
titles ever since 1910, at which date they
were almost the only fresh eggs to be mad,
bringing over 81 a dozen. AS high as
twenty thousand dozen Of the eggs were
annually brought to market by the Greeks
and italian fishermen. They are twice the
size of an ordinary hens egg, for which
they are said to be an excellent substitute,
and they sold at retail from Is to 70 cents
per dozen. During the last four or five
seasons the Greeks have been driven of,
and the egg industry has been carried on
by the lighthouse keepers on the tarrai-

Under Arrest.

Paymaster O. the United States Navy
Under Arrest.
Paymaster John Corwine of the United
States navy, charged with embezzlement,
was arrested Wednesday afternoon in the
office of the Palmer House, Chicago, a
few minutes after his arrival at the hotel,
by Detectives Arthur Mccarthy and Muir
name of the central station. Corwines
accounts with the Government were dis
covered to be short two days ago. He
was stationed at Newport, Il. l. He drew
drew $1,000 more of the Government S
money, gave $4,000 of it to his wife and
fled. He had $1,000 in his pockets when
he was searched at the police station. The
amount of Corwine's shortage is said to
be about $4,000. He confessed to Chief
of Police Badenoch and Inspector Fitz-
patrick that he had taken the sum of 3d.
600, but said the other portion of the dis
crepancy in his accounts is due to the
populations Of a clerk. When the discov-
cry was made that someone had been ap-
propriating Government money in his
office, he said, he became mentally de-
ranged at the thought of the disgrace that
would fall on him and he drew $4,000 and
started to Cripple Greek, Colo. He was
on his way there and had only stopped in
Chicago for few hours rest, he said,
when the detectives caught him.

Hypnotized the Bank President.
Cashier Kammerer of the Mullanphy
Bank, ST. Louis, which failed Saturday
for nearly $1,00O,000, explains that the
loan of $4,000 made by President Rott-
man to the T. S. Teuscher Liquor Com
pany was procured through the hypnotic
influence of Teuscher over Rottman.
When asked if he seriously meant such
a statement Kammerer replied: Yes; IT
is true that Rottman made the statement
to me that he believed Teuscher was Il
master of the art or science of hypnotism,
and that he must have employed that Sc
cret power on the president of the bank
when he got SO much money on the Sc
curly he put up" When spoken to on
the subject Teuscher smiled sardonically
and said: ''It may be that am hypnot-
list, but don't think that is the eAplana-
ton as to how Rottman came to lend me

THIRTY-FIVE MEN BURNED.
Awful Explosion in Co1liery Nea
HUNTINGTON, Ark.

a Wiu1 Explosion IN NOtAIeAS A>cNA
Huntington, Ark.
Mine Al of the Kansas and Texas Coal
Company of Huntington, Ark, exploded
Thursday, burning thirty five men, all OF
them seriously and some fatally. Mine Il
is situated about quarter of Il mile north
of the main part of the town. The shaft
was sunk six years ago, but was aban-
doned for about two years. Last summer
a slope was driven to the old working and
the mine again commenced to produce
coal. Over one hundred men, half OF
them negroes, were employed. About 4 so
o'clock a muff1ed roar startled the people.
A column of smoke and debris shot up
from the airshaft. In few minutes al
ter the explosion the men commenced to
appear. Some were not burned at all,
while others appeared with the skin stand
ing up in bisters on their faces and hands,
or hanging in ribbons. Different theories
are advanced for the cause of the eXplo-
sion. Superintendent Vail says he be-
lieves that keg of powder was exploded
by carelessness, but the general opinion
among the miners appears to be that it
was caused by ''windy shot firing the gas
and powder smoke Miners say the mine
was very dry and dusty, and that the fur
mace was not strong enough to create a
sufficient draft to carry the dust out of the
rooms and entries

TT is generally believed that war be-

The decision of Greece to defy the powers

Premier Delyannis is reported to nave re-
iterated that the Greek troops would not
be withdrawn from Crete and to have eA-
pressed the fear that national clamof
would compel the Government to invade
Turkey. Greece, he is quoted as having
added had not accepted the scheme TOR
the autonomy of Crete which had been
proposed by the powers. The premier
asked that a plebiscite of the Cretans be
taken and declared that Greece would pre-
fer to disappear from the map rather than

Hawley Greatly Offended.

Senator TilIman Of South Carolina al
most provoked a personal conflict with
Senator Hawley of Connecticut, who re-
scented his (Tilman's) charges that the
armor-plate manufacturers have paid
agents in the Senate to rob the Govern
ment Senator Hawley had spoken against
an amendment to reduce the price of ar
NOR plate to $500 a ton. Mr.. Tillman
then made his charges, and also claimed
that armor plate could be made for 5000
a ton. Some high words were banded,
and Senator Hawley was induced by his
friends to go to the cloak room. The
amendment to reduce the price to $500 a
ton was finally passed.

London Brokers Say 1t Would Re'
quire Fully $5OO,OOO,OOO.
In regard to the reported Boston wool
corner, leading London wool brokers ridl-
Guile the idea that there is any possibility
of cornering wool. They say it would re-
quire the purchase of two clips to do so,
meaning the cornering of at least S,OOO,-
600 bales and the expenditure of $780,
100000. AS the situation is understood
in London. the Bostonians bought at the
last sale 45, 200 bales of the higher grease
wools and they will probably purchase as
much more at the next sale with the view
of making 100000 out of their deal I'M
der the new tariff, in which, however, the
London brokers believe they will be dis
appointed. For the next wool sale there
are already 100000 bales offered, and the
number will probably reach $50 900 bales

OHIO'S WHEAT CROP.
Monthly Report Shows Good Condi-
ton at Present.

The monthly crop report of the ONO
State Board of Agriculture shows at pres
ent SO per cent of a fair average condl-
ton. Owing to unfavorable conditions,
wheat was somewhat retarded in starting
last fall, and great deal was sown later
than usual This late sown wheat does
not promise so we'll as that which was
sown early. 1t has suffered some damage
from the Hessian fly. More or less dam
age has been sustained throughout the
State by the processes of freezing and
thawing, and especially is it noticeable in
the fiat and poorly drained lands. High,
water and floods have ruined many fields
along the creek and river bottoms. Con-
sidering the State as whole, the wheat
prospect is not so bad, and unless further
serious damage occurs, ought to increase
rather than decline.

Power House Destroyed.
The big power house of the Union Trac-
ton Company at Philadelphia was de-
stroyed by fire Wednesday night. Nearly
all the costly dynamos and other electric
machinery will be total loss. Two men
lost their lives and several others were
slightly injured. The damage from the
fire will amount to about O,OOO, fully
covered by insurance. Nearly all the prin-
cipal trolley lines in the city were tied up
as thoroughly as they were in the month
of December, 1895, when the street car
strike was declared. The fire was the
direct result of the blowing out of the
eight dynamos in the power house. Sparks
flew in every direction, and in an instant
the place was in flames. The house is a
three and one-half story brick structure.
