Murphy Who Assassinated Treasur.

Murphy Who Assassinated Treasur.
or Copes Now in jail.
The police department. of Augusta
believes 1t has spotted Murphy, who
while serving life sentence for the
murder Of Treasurer Oopes, escaped
flom prison. According to the letter
received just by the Governor from
the chief Of police of Augusta, he
thinks d @. Murphy, life prisoner,
who escaped from the penitentiary
some years ago, Is In jail at SWANS
ourg, Ca, on the charge of horse
stealing, and the Augusta eff ,cr
wants to know If this State desired tc
put q claim for him at once.
Murphy killed Treasurer Copes,saip
Ofangeburg County in 1897 and was
sentenced to harg. Governor E ler.
be committed this to life imprison
ment, and shortly afterwards the man
escaped.
As. ort time ago an interview with
a. former Penitentisry guard was
printed in which 1t was said that
Murphy al gone to the Philippines
II the lie lar OF the Augusta cnief OF
police Is correct. however, Murphy Is
N Georgia Ill, and there Is little
1cubt but that he will make a stront
fort to keep out Of the clutches OF
the South Carolina authorities.
The case is one OF the most inter.
esting ones Of the criminal history Of
bhe State, and Murphy has no doub
led an eventful life since his escape
rom the Penitentiary here. AT the
Time OF his escape every effort was
made to recapture Murphy, but II
was said he had gone To South Amer
lea. The Auguata police who write
appear to be familiar with the case
and think that the Swainsburg horse
thief Is the real Murphy. Several
men who have proven to be tho wrong
men have been arrested rs Murphy.

"Why tramp geyser:" asked a

The visitor followed the guides
suggestion and found the point of
the joke in the violent ebuliition

BIRD FLIGHT.
Marvellous Power and Endurance Of the
Frisate Bird.

When the marvellous problem of
bird flight has been solved man will
be able to navigate the air with ease
and safety, but it is doubtful if he
will be before that period. The writ
er has watched the frigate bird keep
alongside steamer going at the
mte of fifteen miles an hour for
days in the Pacific ocean. Occa-
sionally when some morsel of food
was dropped from the vessel the bird
would sink into the water and de-
YOUR it, only to overtake the steamer
in an instant with the greatest case
and then again sail for hours along
side the vessel, neither raising nor
closing its extended wings.
Going against the wind, piece of
paper thrown overheard would fly
backward like a shot, but the bird
moved constantly forward against
the wind without the slightest ap-
parent effort. At night, of course,
it would sink into the water for rest
and sleep, and by morning the
steamer would be perhaps hundred
miles ahead. But the bird would
soon oycrtake it and continue its
close companionship the following
day. 1t may be claimed that it was
not the same bird that thus accom-
panied the vessel day after day. but
in the case cited there was a marked
regularity about the birds wing
that easily distinguished it from the
others.
Whence comes this marvellous
moving power? No man can tell.
Ii NAV not be difficult to define the
impolling power of the tapping
winged sparrow or robin, but the
force that impels the wonderful frig-
ate bird with It's steadily and con-
stantly outstrotchcd wings is simply

tropical ports and New-York seem to be far less
favorable to the propagation of mosquitoes on
board them than the old wooden ships More
over. there is now rather general system OF
fum,gation at infected ports. which would tend
to kill off any of these insects which were taken
on before departure.
Aside from the climatic limitations wnieh nat
ure puts on the development or tne stegoihyia'
there is another safeguard which she proNiues
for places outside the tropics. Inc cuieA anu
anonbeIes are rarely seen more than few hun
dred wards from their birthplaces. The mos
quito which disseminates the germs of yellow
fever is even less of a prowler. 1t haunts
houses not fields or plantations. This inactivity
stands In the way of its voluntarily travelling
from shore to ship. and the chances OF acci-
dental conveyance are exceedingly small

WHY NEW-Y0RK IS SECURE.

The occurrence of two deaths from yellow
fever in the vicinity of NewYork within the last
few weeks-the latest having been reported on
Sundays unpleasantly suggestive. 1t is well
to remember, though, that they took place out
side the city, not inside. In that fact lies a
gratifying assurance Unless the proper means
of transmitting the disease from one person to
another existed here, no unpleasant consequences
could follow, even if an infected person did get
ashore; but DR.. Doty is not going TO take any
risks. He detains everybody whose temperature
is suspciously high Smith, the last victim.
gave only uncertain and feeble indications of
his condition at the time when he was removed
from the Advance. Only seven days had elapsed
since he left Colon, and the symptoms usually
appear about five or six days from the inocula-
ton which makes the mischief. When put under
observation Smith was apparently no worse off
than nine or ten others wko were also placed
in quarantine, and who it now appears, were
suffering from malaria. STILL DIR. Doty was re-
leDtless and his frmneSs has averted an alarm
such as was excited when the nature Of the late
Major Warnings illness was discovered.
In view OF the fact that the stegomyia is not
indigenous TO the Atlantic Coast north of the
3sth parallel Of latitude the question is some
times asked, How could yellow fever ever have
obtained foothold in the metropolis, as it GER
sainly did several times prior 10 the year 1920?
without detailed information it is impossible
10 answer conYincingly; but ii is evident that
those inyasions were exceptional, and that cir
cumstances have since changed sufficiently TO
preclude a repetition. 1t can hardly be doubted
that few mosquitoes Of the right kind were
imported and in some unusual manner were
carried ashore. 1t is said that pools which
could have no parallel now existed at that time
near what were then the centres Of Infection
Facilities for breeding existed which have since
disappeared The cases Of yellow fever which
developed at that ancient stage of history seem
TO have been discovered in close proximity 10
the East River or North River; and in those
days places of residence came down almost to
fhe waters edge. The northern boundary OF the
metropolis was then in the vicinity of Canal-st

present quasi immunity is that the vessels OF
