FLORENCE, Feb. 24.-The incident
at Pontedera yesterday which involved
the detention there of Mr.. and Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, jr., and their
chauffeur, turns out to have been much
more serious than at first reported.
The dispatches received yesterday
evening from Pontedera simply an
nounced that Mr.. Vanderbilt was de-
tanned there owing to an automobile
accident by which boy was injured,
but not seriously.
1t now appears that Mr.. Vanderbilt
and his chauffeur were mobbed; that
the former drew a revolver, and that
both Mr.. Vanderbilt and the chauffeur
were arrested and taken to the police
station.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was escorted to the
best hotel in the place. where, accord
ing to the latest advices, she was
awaiting developments.
The Vanderbilt automobile, it ap-
pears, was not going at excessive
speed, but when turning a sharp street
corner in Pontedera 1t ran down a
child, boy about years old, and in
jured him about the head. Though
the boy was not seriously hurt. his
face was covered with blood. The au-
tomobile, which was stopped as soon
as it's occupants noticed that an ac-
cident had occurred, was soon sur
rounded by a crowd of excited people.
Indignantly and threateningly berating
its occupants.
Disarm Vanderbilt
In the midst of the excitement the
report spread that the child was dead
and the townspeople became so en-
ragged that they attacked the chauffeur.
In fact, matters reached very critical
stage and Mr.. Vanderbilt, believing
that the lives of the party were in dan
ger, drew a revolver Before he could
use the weapon, however, several men
jumped into the automobile, disarmed
Mr.. Vanderbilt and kicked and cuffed
him.
BY this time the police had become
happening and a party of gendarmes

went to the scene to protect the auto
mobilists.
Owing to the fury of the people the
officers took the Vanderbilt party into
a neighboring shop for safety. There
they were Immediately besieged by the
crowd, the most violent of the people
urging their companions to take sum-
mary vengeance on the travellers.
AS coincidence, the shop in which
the Vanderbilts were taken was owned
by relative of the injured boy. which
did not tend to calm the feelings of
the mob.
Reinforcements Arrive
Eventually an officer of the gen.
darmes with reinforcements arrived on
the scene and after the townspeople
had calmed down somewhat succeeded
in rescuing the automobilists, who
were taken to the police station, fol-
lowed by a crowd of shouting people.
The leaders protested vigorously
against the alleged carelessness of the
automobilists and said that it was time
to put a stop to such incidents, involv-
ing loss of life, which were constantly
increasing in numbers.
Mr.. Vanderbilt and the chauffeur
were detained at the police station un-
der arrest, and Mrs. Vanderbilt, who
was shown every attention possible,
was escorted to the best hotel in Pom
tedera.
This morning doctors visited Adolph
Butini. the boy who was injured by
Mr.. Vanderbilt's automobile, in order
to ascertain his condition. Grave COM
plications, it was announced, might
arise.
Consul Aids
Through the American consular au-
thorities, Mr.. Vanderbilt has secured a
lawyer, who has applied for his clients
provisional release, which is usually
granted in similar cases, but which
he may flee from justice. If the child
does not die or is not permanently dis
abled, the punishment may be i'm

Every item of knowledge that has
been found necessary for the immense
development of this industry all over
the civilized world was known to
many at least twelve years before any
practical application of any of them
was ever properly attempted.
Nowadays, in one way or another,
electric power is more or less the
basis of most of the lucrative indus
tries, on a large scale, that are put
in action. The men that do these
things know nothing about the facts
that enable them to do what they do.
The electricians themselves know and
care little Or nothing about the facts
either. But the essential facts are
the only possible foundation for all
the developments we see
The connection with the poultry in
dustry that this illustration has is
just this The poultry industry is al
most without any true knowledge.
What stands for that in poultry liter
allure is an absurd tumble of contrary
opinions, each with as futile a basis
as every other. Each the blind
CROPPING that is common to us ALL But
worse than that, each is generally the
hasty conclusion that one who knows
a trifle more than it's proposer can see
how foolish it is. And i want each
Californian poultry keeper, whose
poultry are his sole business, to ask
himself and keep on asking himself,
if such a state of things is to continue
Indefinitely.

Profit from Poultry.

The following exposition of the
profits of the poultry business was
written for the Petaluma Poultry
Journal, by all expert:
Even at risk Of hurting the feelings
of some of you, 1 think it we'll to
frankly state that there are poultry
keepers in Petaluma who think and
say that the business in Petaluma is
generally grossly misconducted.
If this be at all true, and 1 fear it
is quite true, if poultry keeping at it's
best be conceded as the plain duty of
every man and woman whose sole
business it is everywhere, at least
to such a reasonable extent as physi-
cal and mental powers can easily go
liz any particular case, commend to
you all, with great pleasure Captain

of food, and very conservative as to
possible profits. AS to that, if we take
what he says about needing seventy
eggs to pay for the food of each bird"
and besides that take his average
price ''about 25 cents per DOZEN for
eggs, desire to insist that no man
Or woman has reached the point where
they may assume that greater i'm
proVement is doubtful for them until
they realize every year at least two
dollars and seventy cents over cost
of food for every layer they ever own.

is the result from 200 eggs per year
per bird. And / never kept a fowl
after say three months from first be-

High Prices Paid for Eggs.

have always confined ourselves to adj
vocating poultry keeping for the mon
ey that can be made from it when
selling poultry and eggs for eating and
at market prices.
There is another phase to the bust
ness and much the most profitable,
if you have the skill and ability to get
it out. 1t is perfectly legitimate to
breed fancy stock to be exhibited at
fairs and poultry shows. Something
of the prices paid in such cases is
told in an article from the Poultry
Herald
In February a well-knoWn breeder
of Rose Comb Black Minorcas sent out
a circular in which eggs for Matching
from his best three pens of that va
riety were offered at $500 mot $3.50,
mind you for thirteen eggs, or $4,000
for thirty eggs. This breeder gave
notice in his circular that he would
sell thirty sittings from these pens.
a slip having this heading, ''April IA,
1906, No More Rose Comb Black Min
Orca Eggs to sell before June 1st."
Apparently this means that thirty sit
tings of eggs from these pens of fowls
were sold (or ordered and probably
paid for) before April 18th, at $500
Iii hhn rot
$75O-as much as the average small
farmer receives for the salable pro-
ducts of his entire farm.
To the uninitiated such prices for
the product of the domestic hen sug

alton for the man who pays the price.
But let us investigate a little The

ing to the circular), has won an i'm

are winners and SONS and brothers of

The eggs from such birds are very
valuable and in selling sitting of

of eggs, before setting them, could
be discovered, it would be a great ad-
vantage to poultrymen.
No such method has yet been found.
A discussion of the problem was print
ed in the Petaluma Poultry Journal,
and we copy it for your information:
It has been so dreadfully hot here
for the past week or two that l am
very tired in mind as in body, so
please take that as the reason for the
shortage Of quantity and quality in
what 1 am writing for you about this
time
In Petaluma Weekly Poultry Jour-
nal last three months there have ap-
peared quite a number of methods
whereby eggs in various ways are
started to show the sex of the chick
that can be matched from each. 1t
seems to me that what | stated in
article On this subject published on
page 20 of Petaluma Weekly Poultry
Journal, June 10, 1906, effectively dis
poses of all these methods as absO-
lutely worthless. Let us see again
what a glorious combination all these
methods taken together appear like
1. Large, round eggs, with roughen-
ed small ends produce cockerels. (Dr.
A. H. Cartwright)
2 The first half of a so-called litter
Of eggs produces cockerels, the second
half Of litter produces pullets. CIV.
James McCorey)
3. Eggs having air space horizon
tally and evenly across the large end
produce cockerels, those having air
space slanting to one side produce pull
let's. Orion The Feather, P. w. P.
J., June 6, page 2S.)
1 fancy there has been at least one
>ther, but l have forgotten what it
is. At any rate, with these three to-
Sether before you, it will be easy for
anyone having faith in such things to
put them all to trial in one incubation.
Then as each one is claimed as effect
i've alone, you will have an interesting
demonstra ton Of how the three fit
together, or how they do not fit at all.
AS to any single incubation demon
straiting anything conclusively, there
is the difficulty. There might be a
hundred or thousand people that
tried these things. Each would get
cockerels and pullets anyway, some
would get more cockerels than pull
lets, some more pullets than cOclerels.
Then as most of them would not learn
from which egg each chick came, nor
be able to distinguish sex when just
Matched, we should have the usual
different views about the value or
Worthlessness of the method.
Hence my real purpose in this IS
70 impress everyone with the desir
ability of ensuring for themselves ey-
actitUGe in every investiga ton they
may undertake. or which, may be
! forced on their notice during progress
siye experiences. Every bit of real
knowledge there is in the world has
been the result of exact investigat ton

his results were definitely from GER
tain causes, or else have been evolved
