They are telling the story On the va
terfront Of Mr. and Mrs. Jack London,
the owners Of the round-the-world
craft Shark. being seasick aboard the
Kinau on their trip 10 Hawaii not long
ago and they work United States Dis
trict Attorney Breckons into the yarn,
too. even f he was not on the same
trip. II seems that the Londons We're
horribly sick and much fun was made
Of them on account Of their travelling
the world over. or being about TO
travel il, in tiny ketch, and yet be-
ing such easy victims to NAL de nler.
London replied that the Shark was
easier in her motions than the Kinau,
any day. but he did not say this in
the hearing Of Admiral BeckIey. The
Breckons end Of the story is that he
was afflicted with the convenient kind
Of seasickness where your cigarette
does not go out That is. he was
sick between the puffs of his cigarette
and did not have TO go 10 his bunk,
but remained al the rail, keeping up
a brilliant end to the conversation, his
spasms Of seasickness, as London ex-
pressed it, being but punctuations Of
what he had TO say.
RACE FOR THE PERSIA.
There was an interesting race to
catch the 5. 6 Persia yesterday and
a charming lady is the heroine of the
affair. She is Miss E D. Jones and
was q stop-over passenger from the
Orient en- route to the States. She
had been touring the Island of Ha-
vail, visiting the Volcano and other
wise enjoying the Eden Of the Pacific.
as Secretary Of Commerce and Labor
Straus calls the Islands. She was re-
turning from Hilo in the steamer XII
nau and the Kinau was unusually late.
not arriving until just a few minutes
before the meridian Miss Jones knew
that the Persia was TO sail today. ac-
cording to schedule, but she had no
means Of knowing at what time the
vessel would take her departure. When
the Kinau was late she was afraid
that the Persia might have arrived SO
early yesterday that she would sail
for san Francisco early this morning.
When the Kinau got OF port and it
was seen that the Persia. was still at
her dock. but the smoke belching from
her funnel, Miss Jones was indeed anx-
ious. for she felt that she might just
miss connection. AS the Kinau locked
at her wharf the first warning whistle
of the Persia sounded Miss Jones.
clad in a blue silk dress and wearing
a white veil, stood on the Kianu's deck
and searched the wharf for a familiar
face. Evidently she found what she
was looking for, for in moment, be-
fore the Kina1 had locked, she was
hurriedly talking TO a gentleman in the
crowd who was telling her that she
would have to hurry if she expected
10 catch the Persia, for the San Fran
cisco boat was just about TO pull out.
II have my trunk in the hold" called
the lady The man on the wharf hur-
rie;s a hack TO the Persia and sent no
tice thereby that passenger was
coming. The boat was held until 1918

Columbus, Ga., May 1S.--{Special)--- B. W.

 The young man tells rather re- markable story of his struggles against the use of morphine. and says that ms only consolation is that his incarcera- ton is breaking him of the dread naDit' He is not allowed any morphine in jail. and says that he is being cured py req son of the fact that he is forced to total abstinence. Wilson says that ne that when doctors first gave 1t to him to allay pain. a tragedy almost ensued Going to the island of Cuba as voiun- teer from the State of New fork durins the Spanish-American war, ne was at- tackled by rheumatism and his pain was so severe that the doctors gave nim morphine.

A P P ALL N G DISASTERS

Day after day you read in the te1egraphic columns of the newspapers of awful dis asters and you are astoanded at the number of people who are killed or injured. In the wreck near Los Angeles, . few days ago, B Mystic Shriners" were killed and many were seriously injured. In a mine fire in Colorado the same day 70 perished. This seems a large number for one- day-yet it is insignificant when you reflect that news papers publish only sensa- tiona1 accidents, and that on the same day 2900 more were Killed or injured. The record is tru1y appalling.
 The tota1 member of ac- eidents in the United States EACH year is nearly
 Eleven Millions Nearly 5000 each day or t25 each hour day and night.
 1906 established the most tatal record of disasters upon land and sea of any year in the history of this country, bot 1907 bids fair to be more fatefu1 still.
 / Here is Food for
 Reflection
 The FOOLISH man waits untn the "horse is out of the stable" before locking the doors, the WISE man locks the doors before.
 Likewise, the wise man , takes his Accident Insurance BEFORE he meets with an accident.

PERSECUTION OF
 SUNDAY THEATRES
ONE. JUDGE AT KANSAS CITY TAKES ANOTHER TO TASK FOR HIS METHODS AGAINST SOME THEATRES.

Kansas City, October 25.-united States District Judge John Pollock today severe ly criticised the methods of Judge William H. Wallace of the criminal court of Jackson county, who is endeavoring to close the Kansas City theatres on Sun days.
 The temporary order of the United States court restraining officers of the state courts from interfering with Sun- day theatre performances in Kansas City was under consideration. Judge Pollock tool, the case under advisement.
 He said: "This is a very remarkable case. It is charged that a judge of one of your courts has not conducted himself in a fair. just and. impartial manner. He has empanelled his own jury and has done so with the intention that they carry out his own personal ideas. He has entered the grand jury room while the jury was deliberating, thus violating deliberately the precedent that such de- Alterations should be secret.
 'I cannot understand how a judge of a court could consider for a moment q persecution such as has been threatened in this case. | shall investigate this mat ter and if I find that l have the power to stop these prosecutions I shall do it."

NEW TROLLEY SCHEME.
Chicago Will Try Pay.as-YouEnter
 Car.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The Chicago City Railway company l.; decided to try the experiment. of a pay-as-you-enter street car which Pres idcnt Mltten promised some months ago. Il is what is known as the "Mantreal plan" and works well in that city. The only thing bothering MT. Mitten is whether it will work equally we'll in Chicago 1t is one of tEose things which the people have to be educated Up to and he is doubtful of his ability as public educator.
 The Montreal cars are equipped with a dividing rail on the rear platform so as to separate as far as possible the passengers getting on and off at the same time. Passengers getting on the front platform can only get into the car when the floor is opened from the inside. It is locked to outsiders. The conductor stands on the rear platform and collects the fares as the passen- gers get aboard.
 At the start only one car on each line will be equipped in this manneg 1t will be a case of trying it on the dog" If it is found that the plan works, then it will be extended to the remaining cars. All the new cars which have been ordered can be con verted to meet these conditions if wanted. The thing feared by the street car managers, however is that Chi cagoans are so firmly fixed in the habit of getting aboard a street car any way which comes handy that plans of the sort will go wrong.
