Some Ananiases Of the Press
Who Haze Sprung Famous Fakes

ARK, N. j., that the Garfield avengers
had selected No. 80 to assassinate Gut
teau. The hoax was written by a re-
porter, who afterward became Wash
ingtons correspondent.
Chester M. Hull, who bore the blue
ribbon as the biggest liar on the Pa
cific Slope, wrote blood-freezing ac-
count in 1878 of the finding of the re-
mains of a woman all chopped to bits
in the wreck of an old schooner in
Butchers Bay. Hull worked the story
for two days, but the chopped-to-bits
remains were never found He also
palmed off on a number of papers a
yarn describing the arrival at San
Francisco of the bones of mammoth
animals and human beings which had
been discovered in Alaska. The story
caused scientists all over the country
to get busy, and several actually start
ed to San Francisco to examine the
huge bones before it became known
that the story was hoax
Il dislike facts they hamper one
So was remarked by Ross Raymond,
of the London Daily News. To Ray
mond's fertile imagination while he
represented New York paper, can be
credited some of the most monumental
lies ever perpetrated on a reading
public. He printed an account of a
robbery of a passenger train in Union
tunnel, saying not a passenger escaped
with his valuables, and that $4,000
was taken altogether. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company had to go to
the trouble and expense of proving
the story false by printing the state
ments of passengers. A year or two
after, this talented prevaricator dis
covered the original sea serpent, which
has reappeared at intervals ever since.
The testimony of the captain of the
schooner ten of his crew, and the log
book proved the story to be true, yet
the whole story was purely imagin-
alive.
Several years ago an article ap-
peared giving description of the
scenes and inhabitants of the moon,
AS seen through powerful telescope.
The hoax was fortified with so much
astronomical knowledge, and hedged
about with such scientific data, that it
was believed by those interested in
such Investigations.
Mesmerizes Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Many readers will remember the
fake story sent out by a California
newspaper prevaricator, saying that a
fast sailing yacht, chartered by a well
known mesmerist, had overtaken the
Vanderbilt's steamer, and after sub
jecting Mr.. Vanderbilt to mesmeris
influences, made him write an order
for all his securities in certain trust
company's vaults.
In 1879 there was sent out from st.
Louis, and printed in a number of pa
pers, a detailed account of a fight
between mammoth bulldog in st.
Louis and well known sporting man
of that place. Both contestants were

TYPHOID SERUM
HAS been FOUND

\ Berlin, June 25.-New and valuable
results of immunization against ty-
phoid have been obtained by DR.. Peter
Bergeli, the chief assistant of Prof.
Won Leyden, in the officially subsi-
died cancer research, which is now
proceeding in Germany. According to
the published reports some desperate
cases have been cured with the new
process
By drying the cultures of virulent
typhoid germs, and freeing them of
every vestige of albuminous matter,
by means of muratic acid, and inject
ing the resultant solution, in which
there are no dead bacilli, into horses,
DR.. Bergell has obtained serum
which immunizes against typhoid few
er and prevents intestinal perforation
If injected during the attack.
D In an articye describing the success
of his experiments, DR.. Bergell asserts
that the discovery has already been
taken up by the German Ministry of
War, which believes that it promises
to be an immense aid in fighting the
ravages of typhoid in the army

Handbook for Students and Stock
men," volume of no pages. 1t is
used as a text book in practically all
the agricultural colleges of America.
In addition he has been, during all
these years, frequent contributor to
Hoard's Dairyman, and for some time
served on the editorial staff of the
Breeders Gazette, and was the founder
of the feeders Corner in that paper.
This active life, in stepping down
and out as dean of the agricultural
college and director of the experiment
station, has stepped up and into great
er prominence before the American
farmer
The wisdom that has come from
such a we'll directed life, will, when
severed from the grind of an executive
office, have a greater influence on the
development of American agriculture.
There is so much material that is
written in our agricultural literature
that great field is offered for a man
who is we'll informed, who has the
courage of his convictions and an
understanding of the farmers needs,
to separate the chaff from the wheat.
1t needs not only capable man to
do this work but one that has the res
pect and confidence of the farmer.

May 81, 1907, the Michigan agricul-
tural college, at its semi-centennial,
granted him the honorary degree of
doctor of science.
Owing to impaired health, due to
the strain and burden of incessant
labors, he resigned the position of
dean of the college of agriculture and
director of the agricultural experiment
station, to take effect June 80, 1907.
He was appointed emeritus profess
sor of agriculture, to take effect July
1, 1907.
In May, 1907, he was asked to serve
on the agricultural college force of the
University of California, October, 1907,
to February, 1908.
Besides the flood of information that
has come from the experiment station
in the form of bulletins, he published

C0MER FAILS TO
 NAME MEMBERS
LEAVES FOR ATLANTIC CITY AND MAY NOT TAKE UP POLICE CON- MISSION MATTER UNTIL AFTER MAYOR WARD RETURNS.

Gov. B. B. Conner left for Atlantic City yesterday morning for a two weeks va- cation. He did not appoint a police commission. The commission law be- comes effective September 8. However, as there is no meeting of the old com mission until the second Tuesday in Oc- tober, it is now believed that the gov ernor will wait until Mayor Ward re- turns before acting.
 Should the City Council at it's next meeting elect a commission, there is lit- tie doubt but that Conner will straddle them immediately, and assert his author ity. Before the muddle is settled there wl have to be some fine legal points settled in the courts. The return of Mayor Ward is awaited with interest by everybody. What "Marse" George will do is the question.
 In the absence of Governor Conner, the state will be without a governor, except in a special emergency. Contrary to the general opinion Lieutenant Governor Gray will not assume the executive au- thority unless the governor is absent from the state twenty days. The lieu tenant governor Is In Birmingham, where he will remain except possibly for a day or two.

 One of the largest furniture dealers in the city was forced to pay dollar to do business, and he staed that while he did not think the tax was just in order. he was willing to pay it, if the mayor so ruled.
 It has been the custom of the furniture dealers in this city for several years past, to handle machines along with their other business, and this Is the first time that the matter has gotten into the courts. t.
 The matter was brought to climax a few days ago, when the Singer Sewing Machine company made the claim, that if the furniture dealers were desirous of handling machines, they should be mado to pay license His honor took the same view of it, and the s1.0O dose was the result.
