FURNISHED AN AtIBI.
And Fred Brown Was Released from
Custody at Pittsburg.

Colebroo<, n. IT,, Dec. l6.--After being
in custody for about "a hours, Fred
Brown, who was arrested on Sunday
night at Pittsburg, charged with the
murder Of Fred Chappell at that place on
Saturday, was released Monday night,
according to news reports which reached
here yesterday.
Brown was not taken to Jail, but was
held in the custody Of keepers ct the
house.
1t is understood that the authorities
were unable to connect Brown with the
death of Chappell further than to estab.
lish that the suspect and the murdered
man had been on unfriendly terms.
Brown, In his defense, was able TO fur
nish an abb, which apparently made so
great an impression upon the officers
that they ordered his discharge from
custody.

Roosevelt Tells Visitors That HE rs Not
Fitted for That Work.

Washington, Dec 9,-A bit Of recent
conversation in which President Roose-
welt took part in the White House Of
fees and III which he il credited with
having conveyed the idea that he might
have been president Of Harvard unirer-
sity, Is being told here in inside cir
cles,
A few days ago Mr. Roosevelt was
visited BY some western men who ten
dered to him the presidency Of the uni
versity Of Minnesota. He declined the
offer, as was stated soon afterward. but
in declining the president remarked that
his abilities did not lie along educational
lines and that he was not fitted for such
position. He said he realized that
better than anyone else. adding words,
which those who heard him declare were
to the effect that had he desired an edu.
eational position he could have become
president Of Harvard.

Defeated Vulcans in Fast
Game, Is to II
-----
FOULS WERE NUMEROUS
Neither Side Was Very Proficient in
Throwing Fouls, So That the Total
Score Was Kept Rather
Low.
FOULS WERE NUMEROUS

The third basket ball game between
the Vulcans and Italian A. G., which was
played last night ut the Granite street
hall. proved a reversal of the scores IN
the two former games. The Italians won
with an is TO ll'score in As minutes of as
hard fought basket ball as ever was
played in the city. The game was rough
and fouls were rather too numerous, but
as neither side shot from free throws
with much success the fouls had but
little to do with the total results.
1t was evident from the start that the
Italians meant business this time and
would win the game II IL was in their
power to do So The playing was about
even in the first period, the Italians scor-
ine seven. one point OF which was made
from a free throw, TO the Fuleans, SIX.
The Vulcans only made one basket In
the second period and one point from
foul, while the Italians scored a total OF
six, making the score 10 to ii in favor
of the latter team.
The Italians played the Vulcans to a
standstil in the third and final period
and the latter team got very few chances
and were unable to score while the ltal-
fans made a total of five.

OF WORLDWIDE INTEREST
pPOGRESS IN EXPLOSIVES
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

troduced explosive gelatin; In 1889 he
invented ballistite which led to the
discovery of smokeless powder, now
used more commonly perhaps for mill
tary purposes than any other explo-
sive. There are two things yet to be
attained by the explosive experts One
is a high grade product emitting no
noxious fumes, the other less sensi-
tive detonating cap to replace that of
illuminate of mercury. Every energy
Is being bent toward the solution of
this and other problems by such ex-
perts as DR.. Charles 10. Munroe of
Washington, who is said to experiment.
with explosives more successfully than
any other man in the United States.
The demand for explosives is growing
continually. About century ago a
French immigrant to this country
named Dupont undertook to manu-
facture explosives. He prospered and
his business grew, until now the Du-
Pont interests operate mills and fac
tories in many parts of the country.
There are other concerns also, the an
nual production of the industry in
the United States being about 414,00O,-
900 pounds of explosives. Some of this
is made in every state in the Union.
Delaware is among the leaders, Penn
sylvania manufactures the greatest
amount of dynamite and black powder.
Michigan coming second in dynamite,
and Illinois in black powder.
So important is the explosive indus
try and so many are the accidents re-
sulting from carelessness in connec-
tion with Ii, that for several years an
effort has been made In congress to
secure the passage of a law such as
Great Britain has, regulating the trans
portation OF explosives. This would
protect the travelling public. railway
employees, and all persons living in
proximity to the railroads transport
ing these explosives. That law ought
to be passed to regulate the sale and
handling of explosives Is also con-
tended. A man cannot buy poison for
suicide without Identifying himself, but
he can without difficulty get enough
dynamite to wipe out whole COM
munity.
The use of liquid air in blasting has
been experimental with more or less
successfully. The field of usefulness
for explosives Is constantly widening.
In addition to their military uses, ex-
plosives are used in driving piles, dig
ging post holes, butchering cattle.
blowing up buildings to check the
progress of fire, driving water from
quicksand in foundation construction,
loosening the soil for farming killing
fish against the law, averting hail
storms, producing showers. sinking
| ocean derelicts, testing metals, break
ing ice gorges and lumber jams, safv-
ing grounded ships by blowing the
sand from under them. killing vermin
in vineyards. and for other purposes
Dreamers have thought that expio-
sives might do thu worlds work II
their force could be controlled. This
| may yet prove true. for in one blast
! there has been liberated for a brief
second sixteen and half million horse
power, equal to a pressure of 300 tons
to the square inch. This Nenormous
force could do much IL the power could
be dirigible and manageable.

recommendation that HIGH SCHOOLS
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED IN THE
UNITED STATES, as the percentage of
attendance at them did not JUSTIFY
their existence. One would have thought
that there would have been mass meet
ings of protest in every part of the
country. But there has been no mass
meeting yet. One would have thought
that there would have been war whoops
of protest from every board of educa-
ton in the country. But there have
been no war whoops yet. What is the
matter with the high school teachers?
Don't they know that their daily bread
is being threatened? We urge the
abolition of gambling in all forms. We
urge the abolition of an infamous traffic
in liquor. Republican governmental ex-
perts urge the abolition of high schools!
So, if a Republican government is re-
turned to power, the high schools may
be abolished within the next four years.
And that will be the beginning of the
end of popular education, in the United
States. Fathers and mothers of fami-
lies, be up and doing, before Repub-
lican government "does" you, and justi-
fies the robbery of two million children
of the United States by the robbery of
all the rest of them.

A CALL TO CONSCIENCE

THE gambling evil menaces every
hearth and home. You may smile
u and think that it will never come
near yours, and we hope it won't. But
yours is not more immune than that
of your neighbor whose heart has been
broken by the misconduct of her boy
who has been ruined by gambling.
Every household which shelters young
men and boys is interested in driving
gambling and all the allied vices out
of the community and out of the state
of California. Tt is not easy to realize
how much harm they do unless one
follows the records of the criminal
courts and the divorce courts. Then
he becomes aware that gambling and
liquor are directly or indirectly respon-
sible for such a large percentage of
the sins that do so easily beset our
society that there is no safety unless
they are excluded from our society
with rigor and vigor. The way to
abolish is to abolish. We have had
abundant proof that it is not wise to
tempQrize with Satan. The unfortu-
nate tendency to compromise with evil
is responsible for more grief, trouble
and crime in the United States than
any other single cause. We cannot
have prohibition, because it would
"hurt certain interests. injure certain
industries, and wound the feelings of
many citizens" Therefore we must
tolerate also the increased poverty.
hunger, crime, waste of human life and
endeavor that are the invariable con-
comitants of the drink evil In toler-
ating this sin, we are too tolerant, be-
cause In our toleration we include much
actual crime. In tolerating the cause,
do we also consciously tolerate the
effect? Are we or are we not respon-
sible for the crimes, the want and the
woe which, according to overwhelming
testimony, proceed from the drink evil
We cannot abolish gambling, because
that would interfere with all the
legitimate business (save the mark)
into which the element of gambling
enters" So we tolerate this evil, and
with it the poverty, hunger, crime,
caused by IT, To what extent are we
participants in the crimes caused by
our toleration? The thought is dis
quieting, but this is not a time for
lullabies and soothing syrup. CON-

THE UNEMPLOYED

A CCURATE statistics as to the un-
II employed are at last available. 1t
n must not be imagined that they
were all dismissed from their positions
as a result of the financial panic. The
panic was merely an incident, but it
served to bring home to the country
the lesson that whatever might be said
about Republican prosperity, it were
well not to crow too much about its
stability and permanence. Eternal Wig
lance is the price of many things be-
side liberty. 1t is certainly the price
of prosperity, which can be interfered
with sometimes by scheming and plot;
ting, sometimes by carelessness, some
times by Visitations of Providence
sometimes by natural economic causes
There are now about 100000 unem-
ployed in the United States There are
rs, 900 men out of work in Chicago, 30, 00C
in st. Louis, and $4,000 in New York
There is great deal of distress among
worthy people in the larger cities. A
plan for remedying the condition COM
planned of is obvious. 1t can be done
without cost to capital, and with meal
culable gain to the nation. Since four
children receive altogether in wages the
amount paid to one grown person, it
can be seen that by restoring the
2,00O,0O working children to school and
employing the 100000 unemployed
adults, conditions will become normal.
Capital will not be out of pocket by
one penny. The unemployed will be at
work. The children win be at school.

THE ITALIAN CAR

OUR fellow citizens of Italian birth
or descent are to be congratu-
" lated heartily on the success of the
Italian car which is taking part in the
New York-Paris race 1t holds second
place and it is easily possible that it
may secure first ere the long journey
is over, for the endurance of both
men and machine is an important ele-
ment in the test, and up to date the
Italian men and the Italian automo-
bile have shown that in sheer grit and
in staying qualities they are still lead
ers among civilized races. Human ma
ture is ungrateful, 1t forgets bene-
fits and belittles benefactors. The
Italian nation civilized Europe, and
found the miserable little foggy islands
on which the English language was
invented, and to which many Ameri-
cans owe direct descent and direct in
fluence in their education and train
ing Columbus discovered America,
but Julius Caesar made Columbus pos
sible, and when long after Caesars s
time a Roman emperor brought a group
of fair-haired, rosy checked, blue-eyed
British captives into the market and
labeled them "Angli," an adniring old
Roman soothed their slavery by giving
them the first compliment that had
ever flattered their barbaric ears.
Non Angli, sed Angeli," he remarked;
mot Angles, but Angels Let us
hope that the American ANGELS" our
noble selves, have sent the descendants
of our civilizers on their way rejoicing
with a good opinion of the western
most of the peoples who use the lam
guage which still bears so many traces
of the long Roman occupation of Eng
land. If Darwin was right in his the
ory of the survival of the fittest, then
the Italians represent the fittest OF
all peoples. 1t is a far cry from the
racing chariots of old Rome to the
motor cars of new Italy, and a long
sun-kissed, laughing Italy of America
But the age long, unbroken friendship
of the Italians and the English speak
ing peoples, the most ancient and most
constant international friendship, is
warrant of the sincerity of the wish:
Success attend the Zust. May favor
ing fortune speed in safety the hardy
sons of Old Italia.

THE RAVENING BEAST
BY t. SHELLEY SUTTON

A little child that is wan and wild
The picture of pain and soul defiled
And the wolf comes up with gnarling growl
And the world looks on with passing scowl,
For the wolf must live and the child must die,
And who is to question, or who reply?
The baby's bread and the mothers meat,
The Widows mite and the orphans sweet
These are the viands the wolf must claim
In the miserable, murderous Feast of Shame;
And the racetrack Bird, with his bloody beak.
Must live on the wanton. the frail and weak,
Or the world must wake to its fearful need
And Danish the wolf and destroy the greed
Slaughter the monster and save the child
Or itself submit to the soul defiled.
