Creature 10 es Feared and Avoidsd.
Says Writer

OF some of the strange ways OF the
gila monster. that little-known erea-
ture OF the southwestern deserts. a
correspondent writes: II have had
some experience with gila monsters
and can state that. no matter what
scientists may claim. the gila mon
ster is a good thing to shun. Indians
and Mexicans have horror OF them
and fear them more than rattle
snake. believe that the bite OF the
gila monster is dangerous because
Of the creatures habit OF eating ia

ing on sand so hot that II blisters
the hands and feet of men. The heat
causes the food to putrefy In the
stomach, evidenced by the fact that
the teeth are often covered with a
fermented. putrefed froth from the
food. A bite has the same effect as
the cut OF dissecting knife used on
cadaver: In other words. the inocu.
lation OF deadly poison.
"when frightened or angry he can
move quite rapidly. That short. thick.

monster bites like a bulldog. and has
the tenacity of a swapping turtle. |
once saw some men teasing a gila
monster brought 10 Tucson. A string
was tied around his neck. The gila
monster was crawling around on the
ground. trying TO get away. but was
pulled back by the string. This was
carried on TIL the creature became
furious. The crowd around the gila
monster knew nothing OF his power
TO spring. Suddenly he sprang up
and bit a man among the crowd on
the hand leaping fully two feet from
the ground.

FIRST LADY
 OF THE LAND
Puts Ban on CsrsetS-What Mrs. Cleveland Did to the Bustle-- Intimate Friend Gives Ont

Oyster Bay, N. r, July 13.-Mrs
 Theodore Roosevelt has essayed the role of reformer. It is not the railroads, the corporations nor the nature fax. irs that have fallen under the ban of the first lady in the land. Ac- cording to an intimate friend, the presidents wife has decided to dis card her corsets. All the feminine instruments of torture in her ward robe will be thrown into the gar bage heap and she will hereafter wage unceastng warfare against

 Mrs. Roosevelt's action as a sar- torial ref0rmer is not without pre- cedent. When Mrs. Cleveland was Americas first lady, she placed an eternal taboo on the hustle and put the ban of official displeasure on that hideous instrument of deform- ity. At that time the bustle had grown to enormous size and caused. the American woman to assume a resemblance to the hump-baeked ship of the desert. Mrs. Cleveland's example was speedily followed by the nations femininity and the bus tie became back number.
 The opposition of Mrs Roosevelt to the corset is based on hygienic facts not unrelated to the subjec5 of race suicide. S he believes that the

TIE RAILROADS WANT PEACE
BANKERS TO TAKE INITIATIVE
 BEFORE COMMISSION.
OTHER INTERESTS ARE URGED
Magnates Have Been in Conferences to Push the Plan to
 Head.

New York. Nov. IA movement that is said to be far-reaching among bankers and railway managers is on foot It is a petition to the interstate commerce commission, through the president, and the state railway boards and the governors of various states, to cease the war on railroads.
 The railway managers, it is said, have convinced the bankers that it is their duty to take the initiative, and the petitions, it is said. are, in several instances. ready for presentation. The New York bankers are ,o petition the president, and the bankers of the West and South are to present the matter to the governors. The plan is to induce the other business interests of the country to join ill and create one great cry for q let-up on the rail- ways.
 It is known that railway men have been in consultation with bankers in Chicago and St Louis; that there has been in consultation with bankers in | New Yorl, this week, and that they have been in consultation with bank CTS and financiers.
 The preliminaries of the movement have been kept secret among bank CTS and railway men for fear if it be came public before the plan was mapped out thoroughly publicity would work injury.
 Nevertheless it can be said such a plan is being formulated and soon will be sprung.
