bird was IT., wing. 80 in, spread of
wings, 70 in, length of bill, 6si in. The
heron frequents ponds and creeks, where
it may be seen standing upon a rock

upon which it feeds. When a fish comes
within reach it instantly transfiXes it
with its sharp bill and afterwards swal-
lows it whole. 1t also feeds upon rep

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
More Smallpox Figures;
.ditor of The Journal

To the Editor of The Journal: '.....--..-
About six weeks ago DR.. Hall gave to the
public. through the daily papers, a statement
to the effect that, out Of 500 cases of small
pox occurring in Minneapolis during the thir-
teen months in which he had been health
commissioner, but five of the unfortunates
had ever been vaccinated, and in four Of
those cases there was evidence of imperfect
vaccination' This statement you embodied
in a remarkable editorial appearing Feb. IA.
TO the great mass of the people, who al
low. the doctors and the newspapers to do
their thinking, and who swallow all state
ments made by such authorities as blindly as
they swallow the pills their physicians pre-
scribe, the assertion just quoted carried a
weight that did not belong to it. A slight ac-
quaintance with the facts and the ability to
deduce conclusions therefrom, must have
branded the assertion referred to as an error.
Feeling that the public bad right to know
the truth Of the, matter, have personally
investigated siXty-fve of DR.. Halls 500 cases.
These are confined to North Minneapolis, and
are all that. have been able as yet to inter-
view personally in that part of the city.
OF the sixty-fve cases referred to, there:
Never vaccinated NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. q

Vaccinated, but did not take. IS
Vaccinated ''successfully' .................. IL
Vaccinated few days before disease APP
peared, but never vaccnated before. 800.
Total vaccinated Observation-Disclosures. 43
Some Of those "unsuccessfully" vaccinate1
had had repeated NEGOTIATIONS of virus aud
had been declared immune by the physicians
vaccinating them. 5.-.......-
The number vaccinated a few days before
coming down with smallpox Is actually larger
than I have stated, because did not at first
think that item Of Importance and made
note of it. But since the health commissioner
insists upon vaccinating all who have been
exposed to the disease, and when they fail
to develop smallpox, tells them it is to thu
eleventh-hour vaccination, it is only fair to
class such persons as vaccinated. -
OF the eighteen "unsuccessfully" vacci-
| mated, will the pro-vaccinationists say that
they should have had the virus injected into
| their veins every two weeks in imitation OF
| the illustrious example Of our health COM
missioner? If, as he asserts, the term OF
! immunity may expire any day, why not vac
cinate daily? he '
1t Is the belief Of many, and If space al
lowed, authorities could be quoted to satisfy
! those whose reasoning faculties don't work
we'll, that an "unsuccessful' vaccination
means simply that the system has retained
| the seeds of disease, which will sooner or
| later develop into some organic disease. such
as tuberculosis or cancer, unless first thrown
| out Of the system by such an acute disorder
! as smallpox, to which the unsuccessfully vac
| cinated are peculiarly susceptible.

DANISH PURCHASE SCANDAL

Nothing in 1t, Says Captain Christ
mas, the Danish Agent.
Copenhagen, March 29.-Captain Christ
mas, who is not in the least astonished
about the American scandal over the DAN
ish island sale, says: --t = -.
They hope to break off the sale by the
help of the scandal. For that purpose some
body stole my confidential report to the gov.
eminent and engaged certain Nie1s Groen,
an American citizen, to 60 to Washington
and start the scandal by delivering said report
to Congressman Richardson and to the news
papers. .-.....
Christmas sent through a press agency
here, on Feb. 10, a declaration under
pressure Of oath that no member of the
American congress was either directly or
indirectly interested in the sale Of the
Danish Islands, so far as he knew. He
added that he sent this declaration to the
foreign Office with the demand that it be
forwarded to Danish Ambassador Brun at
Washington. 1t was also published in
all the Danish newspapers without de-
NAL. Said he:
/ never had any arrangement about pro.
vision with any American authority, and
have no claim whatever on America, but only
the Danish government, for my work anc
actual expenses. The government has moth
ing to do with any possible scandal. I,
seems to me the no-sale party is not acting
for the benefit Of the country in trying with
the help OF Nies Groen to disturb the en-
tente cordiale between America and Den.
mark.
Denmark has heard from both Captain
Walter Christmas and Niels Gron, who
also has claimed to have acted as Dan
ish agent in negotiating the sale of the
Danish West Indies. Each claimed a
! commission, but the government has re-
fused to recognize either of them, declar.
| ing that neither was ever connected witt
the negotiations in the slightest degree.

EVANS GOING TO CUBA.
Report of the G.. A. r. Committee and
the Difficulties Still to Be
Confronted.
NeaU York Sun Special Service

Neau York Sun Special Ser-vtos r. e.
Washington, March 29.-In accepting the
resignation Of Pension Commissioner.
Evans, the president will assure Mr..
Evans Of his sincere good will, for he ap-.
proves his administration most thorough.
ly. It is Mr. Roosevelt's intention to ap-
point as Mr.. Evans successor a man who.
will promise to continue the present
policy Of the pension office. 1t is COM:
monty understood that Mr.. Evans will be
appointed minister to Cuba.
The report of the special committee of
the G.. A. R. to Investigate the admins
tration of the pension office, has been laid
before the president. The report
recommends that Pension Commissioner
H. Clay Evans be relieved from office, and
that a successor be appointed in whose
administration the members Of the G. A.
r. have confidence and to whom they can
look for the harmonizing of the relations
now existing between the veterans and
the pension office. Those who are ia
miliar with the workings of the pension
system assert that change in the office
of commissioner will not have the effect
to satisfy the applicants for pensions. It
is conceded that the pension laws are the
chief grounds of complaint, not the con-:
duct Of office by the commissioner.
In this connection attention has been
called to the plan proposed, by the pen
oAoAA SOAlllll4IlSo VI LIE 1.r.A lOr. udh-
Ing changes in the pension laws. Criti-
cism of the measure proposed by the or
gantzation has already been made by
the pension committee leaders in both
houses, and the pension bureau officials
have now made. an examination of the
matter to see what it would mean in the
way OF additional expense if the measure
! is enacted into law. 1t is estimated that
it would cost $11 100000 year to pay
the increased rates under the bill for
the pensioners now on the rolls under
the terms Of the dependent pension law
OF 1890. To this amount is added $4,000
900 as Increases that would be given to
pensioners under old laws. Then is add
| ed the possibility of pensions to 200 900
survivors of war not yet on the pension
rolls, which is thought would swell the
total by $1O,000,00O more. assuming that
! only half of them would apply and re-
ceive approximately $12 month each.
| These points in regard to the cost of pro-
posed changes are mentioned as evidence
of the difficulty that confronts those who
| seek to improve the condition of appli-
cants for pensions. In addition to these
points are the questions raised in regard
| to ratings Of pensioners, about which
| there is great difference Of opinion.
