ANOTHER NATURE FAKE.
Singing Snake of Southern swamps
Is Harmless.

NEW YORK August 1O-In the snake
house at the New York Zoo yesterday the
superintendents and keepers demonstrated
that as a deadly singer the singing
snake of the mud holes. swamps and
bayous OF Louisiana, Mississippi ana otner
parts of the south is a myth.
A couple of weeks ago Harris Dickson.
from the canebrake district. called upon
Curator Raymond L. Ditmars. with
letter of Introduction written by Presi-
dent Roosevelt with his own hand.
Dickson has a sample of the so-called
Singing SNAKE" wrote the President;
test 1t and prove what there is In this
singing snake theory.
When the President went bear hunting
in the brakes he was told about the
singing reptile that the natives believed
to be fatally poisonous.
Dickson's snake was too small TO prove
anything. so Mr.. Ditmars sent south Tor
some stable specimens. They arrived
Saturday night, dozen or them' some
six feet long and as thick as your wrist.
They are beautiful creatures and are
known as the rainbow snake.
The stinger is a tiny thorn, dark in
color. a quarter of an inch In length. in
the tip of the snakes tail. The singer
is about as thick as an ordinary needle.
and hence this reptile is sometimes called
the knitttng-needle snake
When the snake is angry 1t swings its
tail around and swipes the object of at
tack with the stinger.
First Assistant Curator Snyder allowed
a snake to sting his hand. 1t was merely
a prick Then he caused himself to be
stung In the palms and on the back of his
hands. No effect whatever. Curator Dit
mars and everybody else that cared to
make the test were stung until the abso-
lutte truth was demonstrated that the
sting of the singing snake is not poison
GUS, deadly or even dangerous.

NO WAVE OF JUVENILE CRIME.
ONLY NATURAL INCREASE IN
NUMBER OF OFFENDERS.
Police and Court Officials Cite Fig
ures in Defense of Charge Against
Child Labor Law.

That the child labor law Is responsible
for Juvenile crime wave in Washington
is emphatically denied. Police and court
officials in touch with the situation here
produce figures to support the defense.
Juvenile arrests in the District during
the vacation season are only slightly more
numerous than last year The increase,
it is maintained. can easily be accounted
for by an increase of population and by
the increased number of police regulations
and stricter enforcement.
The table Of figures showing compari-
sons of the number of Juvenile arrests
this year and last year, is as follows:
July, 19O7-193 juveniles arrested.
July, 19OS-19S juveniles arrested.
August II, 19O7-39 juveniles arrested.
August II. 1862 juveniles arrested.
Police officials, especially those con-
nected with the house of detention, say
there is every year an incease Of juvenile
arrests in summer. This is due. 1t is
believed. to the fact that. schools are
closed and the children have nothing of
that kind to occupy their minds.
The increase shown this year, the
figures are taken 10 indicate, Is no greater
than the rate increase last year.
Oficials of the Juvenile Court and the
house Of detention. who are best in touch
with the crimes of juveniles in the Ds-
trfct, say they refuse to indict the child
labor law upon this showing.

MR.. CLARK Is PROPHET.
Representative Predicts Increased
Democratic Representation.


Democratic Representation.
In line with the orthodox and estab-
lished policy of campaign managers of all
parties since the flood. Representative
Clark Of Florida. secretary of the demo-
cratic congressional campaign committee,
yesterday relieved his system Of consider
able optimism and some handmade gen.
era!ities.
Mr.. Clark has just returned from an in
spection of New England. where he con-
ferred with lieutenants and ight-hearted-
ly ate pie for breakfast.
There will be more eastern democrats
in the Sixty-first Congress than has been
the case in many years." said Mr. Clark,
beamingly
while it is understood that Mr. Bryan
is stronger than ever in the east as we'll
as in the west" said he. eastern demo-
Gratis realize that thei1 fight for factor
ship in the House Is extremely important
to their political future. and they are
going after it In an aggressive way and
with an enthusiastic common purpose.
They are encouraged by good reports
and aiding the national ticket wherever
they can, they are making struggle to
win the House with more hope and as
surance of victory than at any time in
the last sixteen years"
The situation in Maine Is particularly
pleasing to Mr.. Clark. He declares near
ly all cities Of the state have democratic
administrations that are clean and popu-
lar with the people Moreover. he says
that the democratic candidate for govern
or Is popular with the farmers. whence
comes the bulk of the republican vote.

LONG BLOCK IN BROADWAY.
Wheel Collapses and Let's Car Down
With a Bump.

NEW YORK. August 1O.-The Broadway
surface car lines, below Franklin street.
were out of commission for nearly two
hours yesterday afternoon as the result
of an unusual accident that wrecked a
northbound Broadway and Columbus
avenue car just south of Franklin
street. The car which was crowded.
was proceeding at fairly high rate of
speed when suddenly the passengers were
tumbled about promiscuously. while the
rear part of the car sank to the level of
the rails, the bottom of the car being
pulled along the track for a distance Of
perhaps twelve feet before the motorman
was able to stop 1t.
The passengers jumped of the car In
hurry-up fashion, some Of the women
badly frightened. When they had Gained
down and an examination Of the wreck
was made it was found that one of the
rear truck wheels had given way and
broken into hundreds of fragments. 1t is
supposed that the wheel was made of de-
fective material.
Within half an hour there was a line Of
stalled cars that reached from Franklin
street to City Hall Park. Then an order
was given to turn all the cars back from
Houston street
Northbound passengers received trans
fers and were taken uptown on the 4th
and Madison avenue line.

HYDRoPLANE RIDES FAST.
Frenchman's Invention Skins Over
Water at "a Miles an Hour.

LONDON. August 1O.-One of the fea-
lures of the Cowes regatta has been the
performances of the hydroplane, invented
by a Frenchman, Claude Lelas. which at
tanned a speed of over forty kiiometers an
hour. twenty-fOur miles.
The strange craft resembles punt with
rudders at both sides of the stern. The
under service consists of two planes. the
first sloping a little upward. and the sec
ond overlapping the first. the two planes
being connected by a perpendicular board
which keeps out Of the water. The boat
is called the Kicochet and Is able to leap
from point to point over the waves with
uninterrupted continuity.
The principle of her motion is that I'M
DERIVING the boys game of throwing a
fiat stone so that 1t travels In series of
leaps over the surface OF the water. The
motive power is supplied by a screw.

shows that Hopkins has about 5000 plu-
rality over Foss but it is not certain that
this estimate will hold. The returns from
some counties may reduce Hopkins lead
materially It is. however. considered
certain by politicians that Hopkins will
receive a strong plurality on the popular
vote.
Foss Will Garry on the Fight.
1t is certain that Foss will carry the
fight into the state legislature, and a
warm contest will ensue when that body
meets next winter. Foss and his man
ayers claim that he has carried ma
jority of the senatorial districts. and that
the chief strength Of the Hopkins vote.
particularly in the city of Chicago. has
been in the democratic wards. 1t is
claimed that the vote in the senatorial
districts should be binding on the men,
bers Of the legislature, and, therefore.
Foss and his friends argue that even If
defeated on the popular vote he will have
a majority of the legislature under in
structions TO him.
The Hopkins managers deride this
claim and assert that the vote of the
state at large Is the only thing that car
ries with it the party Endorsement.
The returns today seem to indicate
that ]. G. Oglesby has been nominated
for lieutenant governor on the republican
ticket.
The Democratic Choice.
The returns from the country precincts
continue to come in slowly. Definite fig
ures are most difficult to obtain on many
of the votes particularly those on the
democratic ticket. Because of the gen.
eral interest felt in the bitter struggles
for the republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation and for the republican indorse-
ment for senator, the election judges gen.
orally have counted the votes of that
party first. Enough figures are obtain
able. however. to show that Lawrence B.
Stringer of Lincoln has received an over
whelming plurality for the democratic
Endorsement for senator and that former
Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson of
Bloomington has been nominated for gov
ernor.
The republicans throughout the state
seem to have turned out to vote at the
primary election in greater force than
the democrats.

Pathetic Case of Mrs. Ward

Her Feeble Husband Unable to Care
for Her Properly.

MUST LIVE AN OUTCAST
NOT ONLY LEPER BUT MANIAC

Though virtually a part of the United
States. the leper colony on isolated Mo-
lokai cannot recruit its death-marked
population from this country. 1t Is this
fact that makes 1t impossible for govern
ment officials to comply with the request
Of the territorial authorities Of Arizona
for the speedy deportation Of aged Mrs.
Wardwell, whom the terrible disease has
claimed for its victim.
According to DR.. H. D. Geddings. as
sistant surgeon general of the bureau of
public health and marine hospital serv-
ice, the leper settlement at Molokai is
strictly territorial enterprise. or. charity,
maintained by the Hawaiian Islands.
There exists neither law nor precedent to
warrant the removal of leper from any
state or territory. however, to the set

ion of the bureau that the Hawaiian

Of this view Is emphasized by the fact
that 1t would be necessary to transport
the patient first to Honolulu. there to re-
main until arrangements could be made
for sending her to the colony.
No Authority to Deport.
There is a law said DR.. Geddings,
that prohibits the transportation of a
leper from one state to another, but ex-
ception probably could be made in this
case, were 1t possible for US to have her
deported to Molokai. But We have abso-
lutely no Jurisdiction there. and have so
informed the authorities of Cochise coun-
ty, of which Tombstone. Ariz., Is the
county seat. We wired them to this eff
feet Immediately on receipt Of their tele-
gram and followed this with more de-
tailed explanation of the reasons for our
inability to act by letter"
DR.. Geddings added that the bureau
was not even informed of the womans
name and that no steps had been taken
to obtain 1t, inasmuch as the government
Is powerless TO act in the case.
A Pathetic Case.
Mrs Wardwelrs case Is an unusually
pathetic one. Doomed In her declining
years to live an outcast from society and
to endure living death. her mind has
given way and she has gone violently
mad. Closely quarantined in a lonely
spot in Tombstone, her isolation Is made
doubiy secure, for she is kept shackled
