DYNAMO KILLS AN ENGINEER.
Booth Was Adjusting n Brush whom He Fell
BACK and Died In q Few Minutes.

Back and Died In q Few Minutes.
Samuel Booth. aged 40 years, of 1O3 Verona
street. Brooklyn, an assistant electrician in tho
dry goods store of Abraham G. Straus, was killed
yesterday by q shock received from one of tho
dynamos which supply the store with electric
light. According to the engineer. Booth had
been told to adjust the brush OF one OF the dyna-
mos. Booth stepped over to the dynamo. and a
moment later the engineer saw his legs weaken
and he fell backward. He reused himself, got
partly up. and then fell again.
The engineer ran to him and began to work
piration. An ambulance was called from the
Muhs worked over Booth, who WAS unconscious
but still alive. for twenty minutes. AT the end
of tn Il time Booth was pronounced dead and
his body was removed to his home.
How Booth permitted the current to pass
through his body is rot known. The whole
brush which he was adjusting, but he had no
need to come in actual contact with this. and
even IL no had, no would not have'bcen hurt I'M
less he touched some other part OF the machine
at the same time. 1t Is supposed that while he
was working ut the brush with one hnnd no
thuughtlessIy let the other hand touch some
other part of the DYNAMO.
DIR. Aver examined the body for some mark to
show where the current had entered. but could
find none. The only mark OF violence which
WIS found WIS q slight bruise on the right
cheek. which Is supposed to have come from his
for Abraham & Straus for about four years.
The engineer snid after the accident that he
supposed that the current was cut out of the
dynamo when Booth went to work upon 1t.

OTTAWA, Jan. "a shipmaster who has had
much experience in the waters Of Hudson Bay
was interviewed yesterday as to tho suggestion.
recently revived, that q colony of fur seals DO
started in that inland seq. He said:
1.-THE suggestion is not a new one. Several
years ago. while Sir G. H.. Upper was Minister
OF Marine for the Dominion, the scheme was
mooted. and inquiries were made from those
familiar with Hudson Bay as to the probability
of the fur seal p%ropagatinG in those waters.
The information all tended to discourage the
attempt. SO 1t was not made.
Anybody acquainted with the habits of the
animal is aware that his habitat is the
open water and islcts. accessible at all times
from the sea. The landing placcso OF the fur seal
must be free from heavy bodies of ice. Such
conditions do not obtain In Hudson Bay. 1t is
true the great body of the bay is open water the
year round, but in winter ice foes and bergs
are driven through II, while the shores arc
take is often made of surprising that the seal Of
the North Atlnntic-the Greenland or hair seal
which thrires in our Arctic waters-is analo-
gous TO the fur species of the Pacific and Asiatic
coasts. But beyond the fact that, both the fur
seal and tho hair seal are carnivorous mann

They are entirely distinct as regards structure.
appearance, habits, ana even methods or loco
motion. There is no probability whatever that
tho fur seal of the Pacific would thrive in Hud-
son Bay.
sin any event they would be. In my opinion,
an undesirable addition to the animallife of tho
North Atlantic. They are very destructive of
fish. The favorite food of the fur seal is tho
squid-a fish that is largely used by fishermen
as bait for cod. We know that as many as $50
squid have been found in the stomach of one fur
seal. They would. in time. quite clean out this
bait supply of the Gulf and Labrador coasts, to
say nothing OF the quantities OF salmon a herd
OF healthy fur seals would get away with in a
season. So that, even II they would thrive in

POPULAR ENOUGH

The New York Evening Post is not
quite ready to concede that the war loan
il q popular" success, alleging that
considerable portion Of the oversubscrip-
ton Is fictitious, for the reason that large
bidders have asked for three or four
times more than they expected to get,
reckoning that they would thus fair bet
ter on pro rata scaling down Of bids on
the allotment.
But the fact remains, and our dis
patches yesterday morning verified It
that the entire issue will go to subscrip-
lions Of less than $1,000. That is popular
enough for a beginning. The fact that
those to whom bonds are allotted will
draw interest upon them from the day
their funds were received at the treas
ury, and that they can turn them over
today at profit Of 8 per cent, will serve
to greatly stimulate investment in the
next popular loan, should one be made
The first venture having proved graft
flying success, the government is not like
" in future to vary from the precedent
established.
Distribution Of the bonds under the al
lotment will begin today.

NOT A FOOT TO STAND ON

The advocates of an imperialistic pol
icy are vainly trying to reconcile its ex-
ploitation with the consistent enforce
ment Of the Monroe doctrine. The es-
sential feature of this is that the Amer
lean continents, by the free and indie
pendent condition which they have as
sumed and maintain, are not to be con-
sidered as subjects for colonization by
European powers, and 1t is held that this
doctrine will be just as American as 1t
ever was. even II we take the Philippines.
But the fact remains that European
assent to this, even anterior to the war,
was not general, cordial or explicit Our
present disposition to secure and main
tain q footing in the eastern hemisphere
will not serve to make 1t any more pal
atable. In the event that we shall decide
to annex or colonize under federal protec-
ton any lands in the eastern hemisphere,
our Monroe contention will be laughed at.
We shall not have foot to stand upon.
It il obviously absurd to assume that we
may conquer portions Of the east while
denying to Europe the right to conquer
portions Of the west. We can successful
ly maintain such an attitude only by
force Of arms, only by being more pow
erful than all Europe, only by increas-
ing our army and navy to that point
only by making alliance with complainant
European states, which few can afford
10 even consider and which would be
Illogical from every point Of view on our
part.
The adoption Of an imperialistic policy
will sound the death knell Of the Monroe
doctrine. It may have a wider signifi-
canoe.

Access to Nature

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
One of the best object lessons in California
bearing on the industrial problem may be
seen in Modoc county. That county Is a
large one as to area, but is sparsely settled,
and without a railroad running through
any portion Of 1t. Much Of the land IL
still owned by the government, and is at
present so undesirable, by reason of isola-
ton from markets and other features of
civilization, that men who desire to do so
can and do work on such land and appro-
pirate all their labor produces. Many a
man who prefers to work for himself rather
than not at all, or for some one elise and
pay most of his earnings to his employer,
goes into the juniper groves of Modoc coun-
ty, and, with his hands and an axe, earns
four to Ave dollars day cutting and selling
fence posts, which are bought by ranchmen
who need them. The chopper Is enabled
to do this because the land, so far as he IL
concerned, Is free. I am informed by a
very intelligent, reliable man who has re-
Gently been travelling through that county.
that working men there employed on
ranches receive $1.50 to 81 a day and their
board. They will not work for less. be-
cause they can work for themselves and
get as much or more. There is not, am
told, voluntarily idle man in the county
who wants work. The employees, and not
the employers, fix wages, because the
earth-lord Is not factor in the case.
So it would be everywhere If natural re-
sources were free for labor to apply itself
in production. 1t is the earth lord who
makes tramps, and fills the streets of our
cities with disemployed men vainly trying
to find chance to earn living. At the
present time the attractions Of Modoc
county are not first-class, and for a man to
go there and live by cutting fence posts m
the wilderness is to isolate himself from
the enjoyments of civilization. But let
there be railroads and cities built there, and
several hundred thousand people become
residents of the county and how the con-
ditions would change. The land Spectator
would then get in his deadly work, and
there would be no more free land, no more
opportunities for men to werk for them
selves and reap the full benefit of their eff
forts.
The earth-lord can and should be abol-
ished. 1t can be done by a rational sys-
tenn Of taxation and revenue-a system
that is both scientific and just. When pri-
vate monopoly Of natures resources Is
done away with. the labor problem will
soon solve itself. RALPH HOYT.

makes gold and silver valuable, that
gives them rank as precious metals. So
long as the world demands them they will
be sought after. The few will succeed,
while the many win fail. The Yukon
may never yield a sum equivalent to
what has been and will be taken into the
country; but the search for gold will dis
close other values. By-products with
out number will be discovered. The Ar
gonauts will blaze the way for tagging
civilization. Colorado's chief production
for twenty years consisted of silver. The
gold yield now far surpasses it. Some
day the wealth of the state in iron ore
will exceed that of its precious metal
mines. This seems to be the appointed
way for the development of virgin coun-
tries.
