HARVESTING DELAYED
BY MOSQUITO SC0URGE

Man and Beast Suffer Anke From
Pests in South Dakota
Special to The Herald
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 4.-Ento-
mologists are astounded at the scourge
of mosquitoes in Central South Dakota.
The hospital at Perre is filled with per-
sons who have been bitten by the IN
sects. and many are in a critical con-
dition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Crol, the 5-year-
old daughter of Henry Miller and two
farm hands, John and James Fergu-
son. are among the authentic instances
of persons who are so injured as to be
placed in critical condition.
Cattle and horses are driven frantic
by the pests and become so unmanage-
able that harvesting has to suspend
whenever the breeze so abates so as TO
permit the swarms of the insects to
swoop down upon human beings and
live stock.

EXAMINING EXPERTS
ON FINGER PRINTS
Chinese Method Of Identification Of
Criminals to Be Used by Chicago
Police Department

Criminals to Be Used by Chicago
Police Department
Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-An examination
of candidates for finger print operators
for the police department was held yes
terday by the civil service commission
"This is something which is old in
China, but new to Chicago" said a
commissioner in speaking of the test.
The finger print system for the detec-
tion of criminals was first used by the
Chinese, and has been used by civilized
nations only a few years. Several
years ago, it is said, British officers
who had been in China introduced the
system in Scotland Yard and later
it was used in Canadian cities. New
York has adopted the system and Chi
cago later tried it at the Harrison
street station. The position, which
pays $1,000, has been placed under civil
service, and this Is the first time in
the citys history that the commission
has been called upon to hold an exam
nation for such place."
Fourteen candidates took the test,
among them being a son of Lieutenant
Bohan of Central police station, and
also a son of Captain Evans of the bu-
reau of identification.

WORTHLESS PUP CAUSES
RIOT AMONG NEIGHB0RS
DOG CATCHER IMPoUNDs SMALL
WoOLLY CUR
officer and Owner Dispute Over Pos
session of Canine, and Spectators
Start Battle Of Conquest, in Which
All Become Involved

| A small inoffensive dog came near
precipitating a riot in the neighbor-
hood of Ninth and Hawthorne streets
last night. Henry Dye, a dog catcher,
said the dog was his by virtue of a city
ordinance, and ]. Hartman said the
dog was his by right of purchase, and
throughout the heated argument the
little woolly canine wagged his tail and
nodded his head in absolute approval
of each contestant for his possession.
AS the argument became warmer the
heated atmosphere attracted other pc
destrians. All went well until some wag
on the edge of the surging crowd of
spectators and disinterested persons
suggested that the possession of the
dog be settled by right of conquest.
Riot Begins
The magic words acted as a fire.
brand and in an instant all the latent
thirst for blood and war was aroused
in the "seething'' crowd of at least
twenty-five persons. For the time be-
ing each man seemed to consider his
adjoining neighbor as his personal and
everlasting enemy.
The driver and assistant to the dog
catcher concluded at once that a fleet
footed person, in his mind, was greater
than one who was bowed down with
too much bravery. But not SO the dog
catcher, as he stood his ground brave
ly and fought valiantly for possession
Of the little inoffensive dog that stood
barking at his feet.
Nor was the defense Of his interpre-
tation of the city ordinance in vain.
for with the assistance of a deputy
constable he succeeded in gaining pos
session of the dog and escaping with
out serious injury.
| And now the small, inoffensive dog is
patiently gnawing the bone of discon-
tent in the city pound, awaiting the ar
rival of his master to bail him out.

EAT 1000 PERSONS
IN SINGLE MONTH
CannlbaIs Devour Eight White Men
and Hundreds of Blacks in
West Africa

Special to The Herald.
BERLIN, Aug. 4.-Official reports to
the effect that cannibals have killed
and eaten 1000 blacks and eight white
persons in a single month in the Ger
man colony of CAMERON, West Africa,
have been received by the colonial au-
thorities. The reports announce that
the German military force in the Cam
Groom colony is inadequate to prevent
the cannibalism, and the slaughter of
human beings by the savage tribe of
Mems is being continued.
Such a sensation has not been caused
in Berlin by any report from Emperor
Williams colonies since 1t was an
nounced that the blacks had revolted In
German Southwest Africa and were
exterminating the German soldiers sta
toned there to guard the district. Ths
shock suffered by the officials of the
colonial department when the revolt of

ing from the CAMERON district.
The official report of the extent of
the cannibalism literally paralyzes the
authorities for the moment. Tt is ex-
pected, however, that more troops will
be dispatched to the scene Immediately
with orders not only to prevent canni-
balism in future, but to punish the
leaders in the revolving outrages all
ready perpetrated.
Ever since the German occupation
Of the CAMERON region 1t has been
known that the tribe of Mems was one
of cannibals and savage in the extreme
In the forests and Businesses of the
CAMERON mountains the tribe made
its habitation and for long time the
dinner pot of the chief was the fate of
every lone white man that penetrated
those wilds.
Get Away With Missionaries
Missionaries tried in vain to over
come the cannibalistic tendencies OF
the tribe. Many went into the wilder
ness on gospel tours and never were
heard of afterward. Finally the Ger
man authorities determined to stamp
out cannibalism. Punitive expeditions
We're undertaken. Under threat of ex-
termination the Mems were induced to
promise TO refrain from eating human
flesh.

to board a car at the Hill street sta

was horribly mutilated.
The remains were finally removed to

Stanley Johns at the

William Bernard, we'll known actor
who Is to ioin the Morosco forces In
Los Angeles soon, has been playing
i leading and heavy roles at the Colum-
bia theater in Portland for the past
year. For number of months Mr..
Bernard was stage director for the
James Neill forces and Travelled with
that organization during it's prime. His
excellent work in that capacity, to-
gether with his artistic portrayals of
characters that would have severely
tried the versatility of many an ex-
perienced actor, won for him the ad-
miration of amusement seekers both
while en- tour and in the city Of Los
Angeles. Manager Morosco promised
Mr.. Bernard when he was here with
the Neil company that If ever he
needed an actor he would send for him.
When Stanley Johns became i'll Mr..
Morosco Immediately telegraphed for
Bernard and his answering telegram
was one of acceptance.
Mr.. Johns loss of voice and subse-
ouent illness made it imperative that
he be sent to his home in Detroit, where
with careful nursing he may again be
able to undertake the hardships of a
stock engagement. Mr.. Bernard will
take Mr. Johns place in the Burbank
