GREAT RAT HUNT IN
WHITE HOUSE WALLS
Three Ferrets Set at Work to Rid
Building Of Rodent
Inhabitants.
New York Herald Special Service.

New York Herald Special Service.
Washington, March 17.-Within the
thick walls of the White House to-
night three ferrets are engaged in a
death hunt for rats and at such holes
as have been observed in the crevices
of the walls and in remote corners, bull
dogs and terriers are on watch to snap
up the fleeing rodents.
Altho the historic old building was
remodeled only three years ago, some
of the distinguished family of rats who
settled there soon after the structure
was burned by the British in 1914 were
not molested. The order. was given a
few days ago to rid the building Of
rats and the most successful rat-catcher
in the world is said to be the man who
is operating with the ferrets and dogs
in the White House tonight.

lieve that such precautions were neces-
sary. 4
The preparation of the authorities
are very complete, and those whose
duty it is to see that orderis preserved
are firm in the belief they will be able
to maintain order. All the police of
Berlin will be on duty tomorrow and
a cafeful watch will be kept on the
various meetings. In addition to this,
the entire garrison has been under arms
for six hours, and this precaution will
be continued until eighteen hours after
the meetings are all over In case an
outbreak Of any kind should occur, and
the police are unable to cope with the
situation, troops can be hurried to the
danger point in short order.
-.... Shoot to Kill. ...
IF it becomes necessary for the sol
diers to fire upon the people, they will
shoot to kill. The authorities are de-
termined that the socialists shall not
assemble in the center of the city and
that there shall be no demonstration
beneath the windows of the kaiser 8
palace, as it is stated the socialists had
planned. In view of all their precau-
tions, the authorities profess to believe
that the, day will pass without any Sc
rious outbreak.
The temper of the socialists is such,
however, that it is impossible to pre-
dict what may happen An impas,
| stoned speaker may carry the crowds
out Of all>bounds. In view of the feel
ing aroused among socialists generally,
by the military preparations, very lit
| tie provocation will be needed to stir
the people who will gather at the meet
ings to the point of desperate action
IF the police offer to give forcible
resistance to any socialist project, it
is almost certain to bring on a clash,
and this is equally certain to be accom-
panied with bloodshed if the troops
arc called out.
Altogether the situation is extremely
dangerous, and it is impossible to tell
what the day may bring forth.

STEEL TRUST ENTERS
THE CANADIAN FIELD
Plant to Be Erected and Millions
Expended Ore Area Is
Acquired.

Special to The Journal.
Toronto, Ont, March l7.-That the
United States Steel trust is going to
be competitive factor in the Can
adam market is officially announced by
Hardware and Metal,' which makes
the following statement today:
"We are able to make the important
and exclusive announcement this week
that the United States Steel corpora
tion have definitely decided to come
into the Canadian market. They will
not acquire interest in or secure CON-
troll of any existing Canadian steel COM
pany. They will erect their own plant
and land for this purpose has now been
actually bought. Papers were finally
signed this week. The late owners OF
the site are not aware for what purs
pose the land has been acquired.
"Many reports of this nature have
appeared during the last four years
This, however, is the first authentic
information that has yet been pub
lished.
"Full details will not be made pub
lie for some time, for they are not coms
pletely worked out. 1t may be soma
time before building operations begin,
and the entire plant will not be finished
| forrtwo or three years longer. This
| will depend on the industrial develop
| ment of the country.
cit was stated at a meeting Of the
directors of the company recently that
about SIS, 100000 would be spent on the
plant, eventually. 1t is intended,
| however, to complete certain parts and
put them in operation as soon as pos
sible. This will entail an expenditure
of $1O,000,000. ..-- = 4.
GIN addition to the above authentic
facts, there are stories, which are no
doubt based on facts, That the United
States Steel company has acquired ex-
tensive ore areas in Ontario. One of
these areas, which has been carefully
examined, is reported to be the most
| extensive in the<world. The steel COM
pany is said to have some undeveloped
coal fields not far distant from Lake
Erie which will be used to supply coke
for the Canadian plant.

New York, March IL Orville
Wright and Wilbur Wright of Dayton,
Ohio, whose experiments with aero
planes, have been chronicled from. time
to time, have made statement to the
Aero club of this. city, which seems to
indicate that the problem Of "fying'
has been at last solved. They have
sold the rights to their invention to
the French government for 100000,
and have already received $4,000 on
account. After telling of their early
trials, they give details of flights last
year which indicate that their flying
machine is a success. Of the 1905
flights their report says:
Gin the following schedule the! dura-
ton, the distance and cause Of stop
ping are given for some of the later
flights.

High Average Speed.

'"'It will be seen that an average
speed of a little more, than thirty
eight miles an hour was maintained in
the last flight. All of the flights were
made over a circular course of about
threefonrths of a mile to the lap,
which reduced the speed somewhat The
machine increased it's velocity on the
straight parts of the course and slowed
down on the curves. 1t is believed
that in straight fight the normal speed
is more than forty miles an hour. In
the earlier flights named, less than six
pounds of gasolene was carried. In
the later ones a tank was fitted large
enough to hold fuel for an hour, but by
oversight it was not completely filed
before the flight Of Oct. 5.
"In the past three years total Of
100 flights have been made with our
motor driven flyers.
Timing the Flights.
"The lengths Of flights were meas
ured- by Richard thermometer, which
was attached to the machine. The rec
ords were found to agree closely with
the distances measured over the
ground when the flights were made in
calm air over a straight course; but
when the flights were made in circles
a close comparison was impossible, be-
cause it was not practicable to accu
rately trace the course over the ground
In the flight of Oct. 5 a total Of 1911
circuits Of the field was made. The
times were taken with stopwatches.
"''In view Of the fact that all of the
flights which have been mentioned
were made in private, the inventors
have a list Of the names of the persons
who witnessed one or more of them
These persons are largely men of .promi
nence in Ohio.'' -

Had the collision occurred between

been heavy loss OF life. as on such early
trips the boats usually carry about 1000
passengers each.
