The seven machinist apprentices
who recently walked out here at the re-
quest of the striking machinists on the
Union Pacific, returned to work yes
terday in a body.
The action of the apprentices in re-
turning to work was due to a misunder-
standing with the union machinists
which resulted in a quarrel between
the two factions. The help of the ap-
prentices will materially benefit the
Union Pacific in repair work here.

CRABS CATCH FISH HANKS.
A spectacle Reported From the Coast by
.Jerseynian.

AT this time of year, provided the con-
dition of the water is right, faid Toms
River man. ANY one along our part of the
Jersey coast may get a lot of fun watching
hardshall crabs in the river as they catch
fish hawks. The water ia just right at
present. muddy after the rains. and the
fun ia on.
Fish hawks are common all along the
coast, especially where there are rivers and
shallow bays, and at this time OF year the
hard shell crabs have habit OF swimming
as near the surface of the water as they can
get. In swimming thus their claws come
out of the water. and make sufficient splash
ing to interest the sharp-eyed hawks sail
ing watchfuliy high above,
The muddy water prevents the birds
from discovering just what is showing
so much life below. but as it is in the water
the hungry birds evidently suppose il
must, of course, he fish, and every little while
down will drop hawk like plumnet.
"Not ha wk ever rises without having
bounced on and clutched what II thus
dropped down after, but the captured crab
is no sooner lifted out of the water than 1t
reaches out with its claws and grabs the
hawk by leg or some tender part of the
body, and the result is some OF the queerest
kinds of midair antics.
Tho hawk, smarting under the pinch
ing the crab gives It and persists in, moves
over, shakes it's legs vigorously and twists
and turns in all sorts Of ways in It's effort
to free itself from the crab, Sometimes
the crab will hold on to the hawk in the
air until the bird has In its twistings and
turnings fallen into the water, but gen
orally he will loosen his claws after While
and come somersaulting back TO his native
element
As there are frequently n half dozer
or more hawks in the air ut one time thus
engaged in trying TO escape from crabs
that have caught them, and more getting
ready to put themselves in the same fix,
the fun s like n continuous performance.
Not the least amusing part OF il IL the
positipness and suddenness with which
hawk, once free from its crab. takes Itself
away from the spot on vigorous wing,
with angry shricks of protest against the
treatment il has received,
Toward evening the fun is the great
est, for that seems to he the time the crabs
like best to do their surface swimming
stunt, and the hawks are out IL larger
number. seeking their suppers.'

British sailors Decreasing.

In ten years the number of American
sailors shipped on American ships has in
creased from 20, 900 to IS 600, while the num-
Der of Scandinavian "a ilors shipped on
American vessels has decreased from % 600
to 10000
In British shipping, the most extensive
in the world the number of English sailors
has decreased and the number of Lascars-
East lndians--has largely increased. Within
the past ten years, as steam has replaced
sail in commerce, the number OF Lascars
employed on British steamers has doubled,
and at present 10000 are 40 employed.
while there are 10000 British-born seamen
Ten years ago there were 10000 La scars ana
lac. 900 British born sailors.
The Inscar whose capacity for with
standing torrid heat il abnormal, is espe-
cally useful as a fireman In the tropics:
Australia and New Zealand have protested
against the awarding of Government mail
contracts to ships employing either Lascars
or Cinnamon. There has been, in recent
wears. a considerable increase in the number
of Portuguese sailors employed on Ameri-
can ships and the number OF Italians has
more than doubled in ten years.
One explanation of the change, which Is
taking place in the nationality OF seamen
on British AZ well az on American Shlps,
il the fact that a much larger share OF the
worlds commerce is now with tropical

CASE AGAINST HOSSEY.
Full investigation VIII
Show That He Was Cause OF Many
Deaths.

Philadelphia. March 1.-THE police
for several days have been investlgat-
ing the case of George Hossey, the
negro herb DOCTOR who was yester-
day committed to prison with Mrs.
Cartherine Dame, on he. charge OF
causing the death of the woman's hus-
band eighteen months ago by poison.
Mrs. Dame is said to be only n of
a host of women whose object in con-
sulting the doctor was not legtl-
mate. The authorities say that they ex-
pect to trace a number of deaths to
Hossey's poisons. The authorities have
learned that for many months past his
headquarters lave been p~atronized by
many women both married n single.
whose names are now in the possession
of the district attorney and detectives.
When the negro was arrested detec-
tives searched his house n co~ntiscated
n wagon load of bottles. drugs. instru-
ments and other paraphernalia, much
of which will figure in the case.
The district attorney and the police
officials state that more arrests may be
expected soon. Memoranda found in
HoSSey's house it is believed. Will show
many cases of murder. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Sherer said: The case
is far from complete at present. More
arrests will follow. but naturally we
cannot talk about that phase of the
case at this time. There are a num-
Der of developments expected. The de-
velopments of yesterday are only a
small part of the case as far as Hos
sey is concerned. The detectives are
still at work on the investigation and
will continue for some weeks yet"
Physicians in all sections of the city
have reported cases to the district at
torney that probably will lead to the
opening of many graves and to the
holding of as many inquests by the cor
oner. In each of these cases, the cor
tient first appeared with a minor COM
plant which grew progressively worse
and which, just before death manifested
what are now recalled as the usual
symptoms of a%rsenica1 poisoning.
Seven of thest practitioners were clos
eted with Assistant Attorney Sherer
for several hours today. during which
time they went over the office records
in the mortality cases and frankly
stated their suspicious. In each of
these, a thorough investigation was or
dered and the local managers of all
life assurances companies were asyed

Reform Our Jury System.

If there is one thing in North Caro-
lima that needs reforming it is the
present jury system, n there ought
to be such a discussion of the subject
both by the press and people Of the
state, as to lead to the election of a
enact this reform. If the present Jury
system IS analysed there need be lit
tie surprise that it is so hard TO Sc
cure conviction of a person tried for
committing a nigh crime. To this
tault IS u in great measure the large
increase of c crimes. For example.
let a MAJ commit a cold biooded muir
der. and what is the result when the
case comes up for trial? The state in
prosecuting is allowed only four chal-
lenges in selecting the jury. while the
man on trial has t~wenty-four chaI-
lenges. When the jury is selected the
state u get h entire twelve men
composing it to agree upon a vedict
of guilty before there can be a convic-
ton, while the man on trial has to
get only one of them to say he is not
guilty and there is no conviction. Can
anything be more unfair or unjust
than this? With such conditions ex-
listing is it any wonder that men who
commit crime have little fear of being
convicted? The one committing a crime
should not lave any better chance of
acquittal than the state has to con-
Wet, and until there is reform along
this line no decrease of crime need be
expected.-Greenville Reflector.

Meeting with Waynesville. but that the
directors We're seriously considering
coming to Asheville instead.
The recent developments in the Ashe-

| caused the management Of the Ten
| nessee and North Carolina railway to
reconsider their first plans as their
road may be enabled to connect with
the new railroad coming to Asheville
from RutherfOrdton thus making it
decidedly more advantageous than
connecting with the Southern at
Waynesville.
Although the above information was
| received from authentic sources there
has been no definite decision made by
the Tennessee & North Carolina rail-
way directors. They are likely waiting
the outcome of the new railway from
Rutherfordton. If the new railroad
from the north comes to Asheville it
would be built by way of Canton. Can
ton is directly south of Newport and
directly west of Asheville. making the
railroad form an almost perfect right
