be taken IN tow.
The capsized vessel WAS sighted when the
tug WAS just of Middle Ground light, near
Bridgeport. The captain Of the tug de-
cided that the best thing to do was to anchor
the barges the Patiei CO had Ia tow and take
the capsiZed schooner to Green's Ledge
light. This was done The Patience with
her tow arrived at the harbor about mid
night and dropped the schooner on the
extreme westerly end OF the reef The
Patience then steamed to the eastward for
her tow and returned to ROTOR Point,

Assistant District Attorney Rand said
before going into court that he was con-
yinced that the Recorder would impose

peating that the District Attorney had
about eight cases upon which he would like
to try Parks. Lawyer Robinson Of counsel
for Parks insisted that justice required
immediate imposition OF sentence.

the Recorder. an my opinion the law

Parks will remain in the Tombs until his
motion for certificate Of reasonable doubt
Is settled.

School Teachers Wanted.

More teachers are wanted for the
Philippines. Gov. Taft has requested
the civil service commissioners to
hold Il number of examinations
throughout the country for the pur-
pose of securing Il list of eligibles
from which appointments may be
made. The commission has decided
to hold these examinations after. the
summer vacation begins, so that all
who are eligible may have an oppor-
tunity to take the examinations.
Heretofore these teachers have been
appointed by Secretary Root.
Candidates must be between the
ages of 20 and 40. The pay will be
better than the compensation for wo-
men teachers in the United States.
being from 5000 to $1,000 to start
with.
One of the reasons that the call for
more teachers was made is that a
great many of those who were sent
out by the war department have mar
ried. In fact. the establishment of a
Philippine school system has proved
a veritable boon for dozens of spin

Mai. Glenn's brother-in-law, who
has rushed into controversy with
Gen. Miles, has unwittingly perhaps
let out family secret concerning the
ma jor's first court martial for admin
istering the water torture. The
brother-in-law states that, while he
(Glenn) was convicted and given
most absurd sentence Zone months
suspension from duty. with pay. and
q fine of 500, it is an open secret that
the court which tried him on the first
ballot voted unanimously for acquit-
tai, and then. on the suggestion of
some member of the court, reconsid-
cred the vote. on the theory that an
acquittal would be construed in the
United States as an official approval
of the water cure" This fact has not
generally been known in the United
States, and Maj. Glenn's brother-in-
law is to be congratulated upon his
contribution to the popular knowl-
edge. All along ii has been clear that
the courts martial for acts of torture
in the. Philippines were mOckeries,
because in so many cases the mild or
farcical verdicts have been disapprov-
ed as too slight by the reviewing au-
thOrity. And now we are told by one
of Glenn's near relatives that the
court that first tried him actually
voted for acquittal, but then changed
the verdict in order to square the
judges technically with the laws of
civilized warfare. This makes very
pretty story.-Springield Republican.

Claim Roosevelt Already Beaten.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says word comes
from New York that Roosevelt will
lose that state and with it New Jer-
sey and Connecticut.
The correspondent says: "A very
careful inquiry as to the accuracy of
information which has been filtering
through confidential sources for some
time confirms the belief that the men
composing the opposition to Mr..
Roosevelt have not entirely abandoned
the hope that developments between
now and next summer may enable
them to defeat his nomination. but
facing the probability of their not be-
ing able to accomplish this, his de-
feat at the election if nominated is
spoken of as a thing to be desired.
Men who are not in the habit of
contemplating democratic politics
with even tolerance are privately
speaking of Roosevelt as IAN impossi-
bility' and are considering how OBJ
jectiona BILE a democrat" they could
tolerate in the White House in pref
erence to its present occupant.

policy, since definite policy of OPP

thing not to be dreaded, even by
those who may not enjoy some of the
fruits of monopoly. when compared
with policy which is regarded as
so erratic as to threaten the country
with nervous prostration, without

One prominent man, in giving his rea-
sons for regarding Mr.. Roosevelt as
impossible said:
I'VE do not want a man in the
White House who is always looking
for a new sensation and one who is
ready to abandon even the things of
his own invention as soon as they
cease to- be novel. The enforcement
of laws that exist and the advocacy
of more effective legislation to a de-
sired end is not to be objected to in a
president, but we do not want a
president to whom the sensation APP
prals and who would do thing in the
wrong way rather than in the right
in order to appear in the glare of the
limelight. Every American believes in
the Monroe doctrine. 1t has carefully
and successfully guarded by a long
line of presidents, many of whom
never found occasion to mention the
fact. 1t has in the past been vigor-
ouslv enforced without much being
said about it. The American people
ray doubt the dignity, if not the wis
dom. of president who feels impell-

White House every morning before

GETTING READY FOR BIG
CROW HUNT NEAR ELGIN

The big shooting event of the coun-
ties near Chicago is now being ar
ranged and Will take place within the
next ten days. Details will be ar
ranged in Aurora and Elgin this week
This is the annual crow hunt that
fore several years has occasioned as
much enthusiasm as any sporting
event in the valleys. The object of
the hunt is to aid the farmer in rid
ding the country of corn diggers and
bird egg eaters. 1t is generally par
ticipated in by men interested in pre-
serving songsters. Farmers cooperate
willingly and give the shooters free
access to their farms. Crack shots
pay for the privilege of becoming
members of the party. and the sport
generally lasts two days.
At the start captains are chosen.
and they draw from list of well
known shots the names of their re-
spective sides. The drawing is Sc
cret and no hunter knows on which
side he has been drawn until after the
hunt is over. Each hunter pays a
fee of % cents. which is refunded to
the men of the winning side. The
pay the expenses of a banquet at the
close of the hunt. The hunters bring
ing in their heads, each being lined
up on the side on which he was chos-
en-, the side bringing in the largest
number of birds winning the contest.
Hunters are not restricted to kill
ing crows and destroyers of song
sters, but may kill anything that kills
game, whether of the feathered or
fur tribe. \ schedule of points to be
followed has been arranged as follows:
Crows. l point for each head; butch
er bird, 3; hawk. 3; fox, 800; wolf,
500; lion. 1000; wild cat, 5000.
1t is contended since these annual
hunts have been held birds and game
Save multiplied greatly There is
more interest in propogating both
than there has been for some years.
1t is claimed that the crow not only
eats eggs of songsters. but destroys
the young. Authorities claim crow
will fly 100 miles for a breakfast of
eggs and bird flesh. 1t is related that
some years ago there were a large
number of crows in Big Rock, in Kane
county, but they did not disturb the
corn and the farmers did not kill
them. The crows made up for it in
their depredations on birds nests.
This notion of the destructibility of
crows is not one-sided affair. The
black fellow has friends, who claim
he is natural scavenger, and cleans
off the field of carrion, nature having
created him for this purpose. How
ever, lii were killed in the hunt of
1901 and 300 in 1902.
