An official Of Jamaica in a report on
turtle fishing, which is the chief indus
try of the Cayman islands. says that
green turtles display an extraordinary
sense Of locality. II has happened

with the initials OF their captors have
escaped from their crawls In Grand
Cayman and within three months have
been recaptured at the fishing ground,
o distance Of over 800 miles. The last
instance OF this was when crawl was
cut down and 200 turtles escaped.
Within three months thirty Of them
were caught by different fishing boats
or the Nicaraguan coast.

Richmond, Va, June 2.-W. J. Bryan, in an interview tonight discussed ques- tions of vital interest to the democratic party and to the country at large. The most interesting utterance of Colonel Bryan was his statement that President Roosevelt was neither wholly democrat nor wholly republican. "He is not con sistently democratic or consistently re publican
 In the matter of government ownership he declared that in his opinion it would find an ultimate solution In the railroads being owned by the government but added 1t was not an immediate issue.
 Speaking of the next democratic nomi- nee for the presidency MT. Bryan said that the section In which candidate re- sided no longer played any part; that It was simple question of finding man to fit the platform.
 Regarding his candidacy for the dem ocratio nomination for President he said {.
 "I have not felt it was time to decide that yet. The only condition upon which I would consider the question of can didacy would be whether I could advance the cause of democracy by being can didate. No man without ambition should be considered on any other condition.

MISER TURNS LOOSE
 HIDDEN SSO,OOO
WILLIS SMITH OF PULASKI, TENN, HEARS HE WILL BE KILLED FOR MoNEY-FLooDs BANKS WITH MONEY.

Pulaski, Tenn, June 2-Stricken with the fear that he would be killed for his money, Willis Smith, an aged resident of the Fourth district, has flooded the county with money which he has been hiding for many years. The money, amounting to fully 5000, consists of half dollars and quarters of the coinage of two generations ago, and does not give evil dence of having been handled.
 Smith, who is S4 years old. kept his money in fruit jars hidden about his house on the left prong of Shoal creek until some one told him that he was running the risk of being murdered by keeping 1t in his home. He then hurried with 1t to a local bank. and the flood of old coins followed.
 Some years ago Smith put some money in a bank, but before he went out some customer handed the cashier check. which the latter paid from the pile of bills Smith had deposited. Smith saw this and withdrew his money. saying he would not do business with such a concern. From that day until two wetks ago he never patronized a bank, but kept his money at home

CROKER WANTS TO
 BE IN PARLIAMENT
Ex-NEW YORK BOSS IDENTIFIES HIMSELF WITH IRISH NATION sTS-FURNISHES FUNDS. BUT SHOWS AGE.

London, June 2-The newspapers are reviving the report that Richard Croker cherishes an ambition to enter the Brit ism parliament as an Irish nationalist member Recently MT. Croker has taken an interest in the work of the national ists, made contributions to the party funds, lent automobiles for electoneer- ing purposes and identified himself with the party by appearing on the platform at the recent convention In Dublin. It is doubtful, however, if MT. Croker would be willing to foreswear his American citizenship and more doubtful If he could find a constituency desiring to take him up as a candidate, or if the party leaders would welcome the acquisition of poll- tician of such a masterful nature.
 A member of the Irish nationalsts re- marked to the Associated Press that the party would not welcome any attempt to introduce an American machine" method into it's politics.
 MT Croker's health, moreover, is a bar rler to his re-embarking in active work of any sort. He shows the weight of his GA years, although he Is still vigorous. His recent illness was more severe than public reports indicated. The doctors pro- nounced It. Bright's disease, and almost gave up hope for his recovery. but they finally declared him cured. though they warned him that he must take greater care of himself in the future.
