DISCOVER TRAP FOR

MANY ARRESTS

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. ia trap for
automobliStS has been discovered ir
Middleboro, Mass, which the owners OF
touring cars declare to be an unfair
method of nabbing them
Leading into Middeboro from Sud
bury there is hill and on top of il
there is an oak tree, behind which q
policeman with a stopwatch and a rec
flag sits all day About three-eighths o1
mile farther down the hill there is
blacksmith shop in which another
policeman hides.
On signal from the man at the tor
of the hill, the unwary motorist is
pulled up, and it is said the police are
doing a rushing business, arresting
from ten to fifteen motorists every
day.
IT was not caught because I was
warned of the existence of the trap,
said one man, "but had a good chance
to see the whole performance. 1t is
claimed that motorists were arrested
who were not going faster than eight
miles an hour.
1T seems OF me that this sort of po-
lice vigilance is decidedly unfair. A
stranger will always be caught before
he has realized the descent and got his
brake fixed. The way to checkmate
this police game is to post notice that
can easily be read by motorists wher-
ever a measured distance is known tC
exist, and this could easily be done by
the local automobile clubs, or a sigr
would be sufficient"

1t is not altogether easy to under
stand what Is the precise attitude of
the government with regard to the
land. The report of the advisory COM
mittee appointed by the Irish agrlcul-
tural council to inquire into the results
obtained In 1894 was quite encouraging
enough to have justified some enter
prise on the part of both promoters
and the authorities. There Is no reason
to doubt that the favorable results
achieved in the county Meath could be
equaled, and perhaps even surpassed,
in other parts of the country, and that
considerable number of cultivators
would be quite willing to profit by the
experience already gained and plant to-
bacco for themselves. If permitted by
the state to do So But there Is ap-
parently no intention of allowing the
matter to pass beyond the purely eX-
perimental stage.
The representatives of the principal
newspapers of the United Kingdom
have just been granted permission to
inspect the works and buildings of the
Irish international exhibition now in
course of construction at Herbert Park,
Balls Bridge, Dublin. An idea of the
size of the principal buildings may be
gained from the fact that the central
building has an area of 100, 900 feet the
machinery pavilion 10000 feet, and the
fine art gallery 10000 feet. Among
the sections which it is intended the
exhibition will include are: Irish in
dustries, history and education, fine
arts, including photography, engrav-
ings. ETC.: arts and crafts, liberal arts,
manufactures, textiles and various in
dustries, engineering and shipbuilding.

MISS IDE Gets
NEW BIRTHDAY
UNIQUE GIFT FROM ROBERT
LOUIS STEVENSON
Hourke coekran's Donation Of $4,000
to His Old Home in ireland for
Local Industries MysterI-
ously Disappears
BY Timothy j. o'connor
hi Cahle to The Herald.

Special Cable to Inc Herald.
DUBLIN, Aug. 1t.-Just at present
there is no end of discussion regarding
the disappearance of w. Bourke COCK
rams S5O000. Several years ago Mr.
Cochran presented his old home with
that amount Of money for the benefit of
local industries The trustees Of this
sum invested IL in the formation of the
Sligo Saw Mills and Joinery company,
which has since failed.
The entire matter is now being made
the subject of a government inquiry.
The claim Is made by John Roche Ar
dill, LII. D., that the prospectus OF the
Sligo Saw Mills and Joinery company,
Limited, as published in the Sligo In
dependent, August l. 1908, shows that
it was under government control. The
following paragraph is quoted from the
prospectus as published:
This company has been formed
under the auspices of the department
of agriculture and technical instruc-
tion for Ireland with a view to estab-
fishing a profitable industry in the
town of Sligo, and thus giving en-
ployment to a number of people. The
idea was originated by the action of
the Hon. w. Bourke Cochran, a native
of County Sligo. now resident in Ameri-
ca. in placing a sum of 10000 at the
above project"
On the more pleasing side the Sligo
Independent and newspapers in Mr.
Cockran's home town have been pub
fishing many interesting details con-
cerning his approaching marriage to
the daughter of Governor Ide, governor
of the Philippines. One of the news
papers has this pretty story of the
bride-to-be of the New York congress-
man:
Mr.. Cockran's Fiance
Miss Annie Ide, whose marriage to
w. Bourke Cochran of this city will
soon take place, celebrates her birthday
on November 49, instead of December
25, the actual date of her birth. The
birthday was formally presented to her
by Robert Louis Stevenson, the author,
under unique circumstances.
When she was a little girl she was
in Samoa with her father, Henry Clay
Ide, who went there as United States
commissioner, later becoming chief JUS
tice of Samoa. There Annie Ide, a
small girl in pinafores, spent much time
at the Stevenson bungalow. Complain
ing of her lack of birthdays, Mr. Steven
son came to the rescue, and the next
day Mr.. Ide. received a document of
which the following is a part

BRYAN'S HUMOR
PLEASES ENGLISH
GREAT NEBRASKAN TELLS OF
JOKES ON HIMSELF
Sir Charles Tupper Engages In Heated
colloquy With Andrew Carnegie
over Preferential Trade
With the Colonies
snecIal Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE English and
| continental newspapers are still pub
| fishing stories regarding William Jen-
nings Bryan, whose American original
! ity and good nature appear to have
broken through the ice of Old World
formalty. For instance, the London
Daily Express. without mentioning
names, the custom in Europe more
| than America, shows how Bryan In one
of his hours of good humor told the
newspaper men many interesting cam
paign stories. Among other things.
according to the Express, the American
campaigner said:
During a great campaign 1 prac-
tically lived on the railroad, travelling
5000 miles In less than three months.
My highest record of handshakes as
reported by the American newspaper
men was 5000 in one hour.
During the early days Of my career
I had violently attacked the governor
of one state. I thought he would kill
me on sight. Finally 1 was asked to
speak at a large meeting in his state,
and on my arrival found to my hor-
ror that he was in the chair,
"The assistant chairman \read out
my name, and 1 stepped forward with
my heart in my mouth. The governor
looked at me fixedly for a few mo-
ments, and then. seiZing me warmly
by the hand. said, in a voice loud
enough to be heard throughout the
hall:
"Let me see. er-do you sing or
speak|
"It was the greatest snub I ever had
in my life On the other hand, 1 con-
slider the greatest compliment was that
paid me by an old backwoodsman who
sat solemnly in front of the platform
during two hours speech of mine.
| 1 thought 1 had made an impression.
| At the conclusion he exclaimed:
"'That was the bulliest speech 1 have
ever heard. 1 could see your back
| teeth all the time.'"
Tupper After Carnegie
! Sir Charles Tupper is now engaged
in a lively controversy with Andrew
Carnegie. 1t appears that Mr.. Tupper,
| in advocating before the congress of
chambers of commerce of the empire
the policy of mutual preferential trade
| between England and the colonies as
the best mode of promoting the unity
and consolidation of the empire, drew
attention to the fact that in 1891 the
proposal of unrestricted reciprocity
| between Canada and the United States
was only defeated by a small majority;
and, he added, if they read the speeches
which Mr.. Carnegie made in opening
his libraries in Canada, though it
might be slightly covered, those
speeches to the Canadian people who
accepted his gifts contained a palpable
proposition of unity with the United
| States instead of with the mother
country. Mr.. Carnegie, in reply, said.
