has been aroused here by the announce

ton is stopping cattle shipments. The
Liverpool Post says:
when the Chicago beef trusts plans
are fully developed the Britisher will
have to face a considerable increase in
the price Of meat as the Americans pro-
pose to control the dispatch of meat car
goes
The Post declares that this has al
ready commenced and that, for the first
time on record, cattle ships have sailed
for Liverpool without having live stock

SMALL FEAR FOR MERGER
SETTING OF DATE FOR HEARING
SUIT CAUSES NO ALARM.

Special to The Globe
WASHINGTON, D. c., April S-The su-
preme court has announced its willingness
70 near the arguments on the application
of the state Of Washington to bring suit
against the so-called merger of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific railroads.
Inc arguments will be made next Monday
Inc fact that court sets so early a date
for the hearing, and was willing to hear
any arguments, has been regarded by
some as evidence that court might diff
ferentlate this case from the one brought
by Gov. Van SAINT and state Of Mime
sofa.
This is pure speculation and is based on
nothing more than mere gaess. The court
recognizes the need for promptly dispos-
ing of cases of this Sort. and for that
reason consented to put it ahead of other
important matters.

By ludicrous mistake a notice from
the captain of the Harvard university
baseball team was sent TO Rev. DR..
Lyman Abbott. DIR. Abbott is one of
the university preachers, and his name
appears in the catalogue next to the
baseball player for whom the sum-
mons was intended. The card he re-
ceived read:
/. Jones is anxious TO have you
come out for fall baseball practice"
DR.. Abbott sent the following letter
to DR.. Eliot, president of the univer-
sity:
Dear DR.. Eliot: l am very much
gratified TO find from the incIosed pos
tai card that have been selected for
the fall baseball squad. Do you sup
pose my work as university preacher
will interfere with this latest appoint
ment?
Moreover. 1 am not quite sure that
my record and standing as an under
graduate makes me eligible for the
nine. Do You suppose Captain Jones
has looked this matter up thoroughly
before selecting me? I should be eX-
tremely sorry to have any suggestion
of professionalism attach itself to the
nine for the coming season through my
selection, and should like to have the
manager and the captain understand
that | am quite ready TO withdraw from
the squad If il is for the best interest
of Harvard athletics that 1 should dc
so.
Il should have preferred to be in
football. Yours sincerely,

GIANT SNAKE Is FED.
Description of How Boston's Twenty
seventeen Reptile Dimes.

Twenty-Five strong men we're needed at
Austin & Stones museum yesterday TO
give "Leng Tom" the big snake, his
forced dinner, says writer IN the Bos-
ton Post.
The meal consisted Of eight fresh killed
rabbits, and the feeding was witnessed
by about 100 invited guests.
Long Tom was last fed last summer.
and he should have had his dinner a
week ago, but on account of there not
being enough men present to assist, the
meal was postponed until yesterday.
Shortly after 1 O'Clock Long Tom"
men. aided by Beatrice, the museum
snake charmer.
He was laid on the floor in the show
hall. while his meal was being prepared.
Beatrice took her position at the rep
tiles head while her assistants were sta
toned on each side Of him.
As soon as Tom was raised from the
floor he began to squirm, and the men
we're forced to use their utmost strength
to hold him.
A rabbit was placed on a long pole,
and. while Beatrice held his jaws open,
the rabbit was forced down his throat.
This was repeated until seven or eight
rabbits had been given to the monster.
Long Tom was then put back into
his glass case, where, after drinking over
a quart of water, he was left to digest
his meal.
Before the meal several of Toms teeth
were extracted and given to the wit
neSses as souvenirs.
Long Tom" is said to be the largest
serpent alive in captivity. He is twenty
seven feet eight inches long. weighs go
pounds, and is said to be about 30 years
old. He is fed but once in every three or
four months.
Three other large snakes were then
given their dinners. Two live rabbits
were put in their case, and for half an
hour one of the snakes was engaged in
swallowing one of the Dummies.

No More Capital Punishment in
White Cars Domains.
FEW BANISHED TO SIBERIA
THE LITTLE FATHER DECIDES
UPON MILDER LAWS.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
St. Petersburg. Jan. 1.-THE COM
mission which has been revising the
imperial code during the last fifteen
years has made its report to the cOun-
ell Of the empire. The new code, If
adopted. will replace the code of 1915
and will, naturally, contain numerous
vital changes.
The most important innovation will,
it is said be found in the chapter on
the moral responsibility of minors and
the mentally defective. This chapter
! is by Professor Taganseneff. The code,
| in its entirety, has been submitted TO
various foreign and domestic authori-
| ties, including Professor Franz Won
Liszst of Berlin, who is reported TO
/ have pronounced it an advance on any
code now in existence.
Owing to superior definition and
classification of crimes the new code
will contain less than one-third as
many crimes as the old code, which
was LII paragraphs. Punishment by
order of court is abolished altogether,
various forms of Imprisonment being
substituted.
Emperor Nicholas II had already
broken up Punishment to Siberia by or
der of court. but owing TO the lack OF
prisons, Punishment could not be done
away with altogether and prisoners
continued to be sent to Archangel and
the island of Saghalien. The ministry
of justice has recently eXerted consid-
cradle efforts to provide the prisons
needed, in order to permit the aban-
donment of Punishment when the new
| code should be completed.
While the action of the emperor did
not affect the Punishment to Siberia of
political suspects by order of the po-
lice, it is not known that any of the
subjects relegated from the capitals
last year were sent to Asiatic Russia.
The new code will abolish capital
punishment altogether. The old code
had retained it for crimes against the
imperial family, for treason and rebeF
lion and for evasion of quarantine. OF
course, the new code will take cOgni-
zance of newly defined crimes, such as
blackmail.
1t will not make an ordinary strike a
crime, but threatens with higher pens
alties those cases Of rioting and in
jury to property or person which may
be found to have been occasioned by q

His sense of humor was so Irresistible

unusual leeway.
Captain Leary was bubbling over
with enthusiasm from his very early
youth. He was studying at Annapolis

couldn't remain quiet when there was
fighting TO be done. So he got an as
signment on a warship and was among
the first to be wounded at the battle
of Fort Fisher.

known to the world and brought the
