Because he did not understand Eng

worker, has been practically put out
Of business by the fire commission. He
has been told that he cannot operate
his little metal works at 1904 East Six
teenth II street and he has no other
means of making q living. The fire
commission has refused kahle a per-
nit to install a gasoline engine at his
place. '~
This action was taken ON the de-
mand of Commissioner l.. l.. RO binson,
whose partner in the manufacturing
has recently built "a residence near
where Kahes little metal shop is To-
Gated and he does not want his peace
and quiet disturbed by a gasoline en-

was told he must have permit for his

tinued his work.

Later 1t was explained what a per-
init was, and Kahle applied to the fire
commission for the necessary author

HOUNDS GUARD
WHITE SLAVE
NEGROES HUT IS PRISON OF
WRETCHED WOMAN
Black septuagenarian Holds William
Brady's Wife in HoveI Near the
Pigeon Farm and Police
Offer No Aid

A revolving story of negro's inn
position on an ignorant white woman
came to light at the Central police
station yesterday afternoon when Mrs.
Anna Threkeld, matron of the Good
Samaritan Home Colony at Elsinore,
reported the matter to the police.
According TO Mrs. Threkeld, Viola
Brady, the wife of William Brady,
who works at the Los Angeles crema-
tory, has been kept in howell on
Twentieth avenue, near the pigeon
farm, by an old negro named John
Belt. aged TO- for several months.
Belt is known as a criminal chaser"
and keeps a number of ferocious blood
hounds for the purpose of tracing fu-
gitives.
Mrs. Threkeld claims that the old
negro is keeping the white woman in
state of veritable slavery, and has
forced her by threat to remain in his
hut.
Negro Institutes Divorce
He has begun proceedings to divorce
the woman from her husband, al
though Mrs. Brady is said to have
written letters to her husband beg
ging him to come and rescue her from
her slave master.
About two months ago Brady says
he went to the hut of the negro and
demanded his wife, but was driven
away lIOii Tie uOOl ny liiC hNbAOs NAC
said he would kill him If he ever dared
come near his place again.
The bloodhounds which the negro
keeps on his place are the terror OF
all in the neighborhood, and for this
reason friends of the husband have
not dared interfere in behalf of Brady.
Brady, who Is, to say the least, ex-
tremely ignorant, said yesterday that
he had attempted to get warrant for
the arrest of the negro, but was told
| by the city prosecuting attorney that
no warrant could be obtained against
Belt.
Woman Makes Plea
| A plea Is to be made to Attorney
Eddy, however, by Mrs. Threkeld in
the mans behalf, as it is evident his
case was not clearly explained, for he
is believed to have a good case against
the negro on the grounds of adultery
or in violation of the law providing
q penalty for the cohabitation of me-
groes and whites.
Mrs Threkeld stated yesterday that
she would be glad to care for the man
and his wife at her home II the wife
could be freed from the influence OF
II went with Mr.. Brady to the me-
gro's hoVel yesterday" she said He
was very defiant and refused TO let
me speak to Mrs. Brady.
Signals from Window
"I saw her at the window and she
signaled to me timidly, for she is in
abiect fear Of her burly master.
when l told Belt that we would
obtain a warrant for his arrest. he
merely chuckled, and said that he de-
fled me to do anything Of the kind,
as he was an officer himself and the
police would not touch him."

COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows Conclusive Evidence of
 Fitness.

An instructor at Vassar college has an odd and interesting collection of photo graphs-the photographs of the babies of young women who are college gradu- ates. says an exchange, are strong and beautiful They number over 300. The instructor said of them:
 q began to collect pictures of the children of female A. B.'s and A. M. s because I had heard so much talk about the higher education uniting woman for Der natural sphere, and SO on.
 My collection proves that the high CT education makes mothers of an ex- cellece hitherto unknown. Highly edu- cated women don't weaken themselves with tight corsets. with overmuch danc- ing and card playing. They are athletic and strong. Their bodies as well as their minds are developed.
 "They enter upon the duties of moth erhood with unique courage and wis., dom and strength, and the result is that their babies are the biggest, strongest, handsomest little creatures"
 She pointed toward the 300 photo graphs.
 But just look at those pictures, she cried. Just look at them"

MEN OF PACIFIC
Loochoo Islanders Who Possess Most Winning and Remark
 able Optics.

A woman traveller who lately visited the Loochoo islands, in the Pacific, de- scribes her first impressions in the North China Herald. The first thing that struck her on landing was the fact that the coolies who tumbled lazily aboard her ship were "very much addict ed to the use of hats, and very little to the use of any other clothing" She continues: "I can best describe the hats by an exclamation of one of oW party, What beautiful waste paper baskets they'd make!' These hats were fastened on with loops of thick, brown, hairy palm rope, through which were passed cotton strings tied under the chin. Every mans face was ornament ed with thin, brownish black beard and mustache, and 1t was often hard to tell where the beard left off and the hairy rope began. Wisps of unkempt hair also struggled about the neck, giv- ing to the man the look of some savage creature. Taking in these details, my eyes came at last to the eyes of these seemingly wild savages, and To! looked into large, soft, black eyes, so wide apart, like those of the ruminating animals. And in their depths lurked good-natured smile, just waiting to an- swer one from me. never got used to the incongruOus effect of those gentle eyes and that fierce beard on each other"

CAPTURING THE WILD DJCk
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Sue. cessful Among the Wary
 Water Fowl.

A full-grown wild duck Is one of tho most wary of all wild creatures. A wa terman may be working all day long with shovel and pickax, says the author of Bird Life and Lore" barely stones throw from large flock of widgeon and wild ducks, and they will not notice him, for they know that he means them no harm. But let sportsman enter the meadows and hide his gun ever so care fully, and make himself ever SO small, 1t is ten to one that they will rise in a cloud when he is some four gunshot5 away from them, and take themselves of to place of greater safety.
 There is one method of taking wild ducks in considerable numbers, prac- ticed in China and in some other coun- tries, which is so amusing and so little known as to deserve notica
 The natives take care that 6 large number of big calabashes, or gourds, should always be left floating on the wa ter freeuented by the birds, till they get to regard them as part and parcel of their resorts. The duck-hunter chooses his time, and, putting one of the calabashes, with holes cut for his mouth and eyes, upon his head. he wades through the lake, taking care to keep the whole of his body we'll be- heath the surface. He cautiously ap- breaches the unsuspecting wild fowl, and, catching one of them by the leg, pulls him, with sudden jerk, beneath the water, causing hardly more commo- tion of the surface than the duck itself often makes when it dives, or plashes, or plunges for it's food. He wrings It's neck under the water and fastens 1t to his belt. Then he deals with another and another in the same fashion, till he makes his retreat, equally unnoticed, with whole girdleful of captured wild ducks round his waist.

Frost Makes Fat Turkeys.

"Cold weather makes fat turkeys, said the poulterer.
 Why"
 Because in a warm fall the ground keeps soft, the vegetation fingers on and the fields are full of worms and bugs. Whats the result? The result is that the turkeys, from sunrise till dark, tramp the tempting fields on lons forages, eating the worms and bugs. which thin them, and walking all their soft and fine flesh into tough, stringy muscle.
 "A cold fall, with early frosts and snows, freezes the ground and kills the bugs. Then the turkeys are not tempted to wander. They loaf. in the farmyard, gorge an abundance of grain, and put on flesh like middle aged woman at a seashore hotel.
 "But in a warm fall, hunting the IT, resistible bug, the turkeys do their 1s or 20 miles regularly, and become ath- letes. For athletic turkeys there is no public demand"
