Dwarf CAUSES TROUBLE
Austin Marble, Aged 10. Weight 100
Pounds, Arrested for Drunkenness
And Puts Up Eight

AS a rule the arrest OF plain
drunk creates little or no interest
at police headquarters. but there was
one last night that caused quite a stir,
when Patrolman Pierce towed to the
police station Austin Marble, a dwarf
only 40 inches tall, from Sanpete
county. Although exceedingly small,
and weighing not more than 100
pounds Marble exhibited remarkable
strength and it required the combined
efforts of two burly5 buecoats to search
him, a proceeding to Which he most
strenuousy objected
81 Marble came up from Sanpete yes
terday and concluded to show the
people of Salt Lake that they were
only in the primary class when 1t
came to being a real sport. Ginger
ale. grape juice and mineral water
did not appeal to Marble. He wanted
the juice Of the corn: red liquor of
the kind that breeds trouble He
got II and also the trouble
BY 8 o'clock he was in such a con-
tltlonthe he could not walk 80 yards
without meeting himself coming back.
Though not much larger than a bar
of soap after n hard days wash, he
required lots of room and insisted on
having 1t.
Pierce saw the anti-Gulliver and
was at once filed with conflicting
tlttohlpi1. v mn IL

thinking OF his duty and looking into
the rule book for instructions he
found that to be unawfuly drunk
X is Il lni*demoanpr. The call ofeduty%
prevailed and Pierce bounced upon
little Marble. Then the fun began.
The dwarf objected. After a lively
5tussel he was landed safe and sound
at police quarters. The desk sergeant
4 had TO stand on chair3and look over
the railing before hn could sec the
prisoner.
When the police started to search
Marleble trouble broke out ofresh.
He fought with wonderful strength
and agility and the policemen had to
throw Kim to the floor and hold him
there until the operation was over.
Asked what his occupation was, he
5hawled:

While being led to a cell he NUT
tered something about Showing the

MAIL SACK CHASED SHIP
Left New York Four Months Ago
in Effort to Overtake United
States Armored Cruiser.

A sack of mail which left New
York four months ago has just land
ed in Bremerton, Wash. Since it left
New York it has travelled over &c.
600 miles in an effort to overtake
the United States armored cruiser
Milwaukee, for the officers and men
of which it was intended. Before it
finally caught up with the big cruis-
er this sack of mail had been to San
Francisco, then to Honolulu and
back to San Francisco; next to Pana-
ma, then to Honduras, back to San
Francisco again, and finally to Bre-
merton.
When a ship is at sea and the
length of it's stay in any one port is
uncertain the navy department di-
reefs the relatives and friends of the
officers and men of that ship to ad-
dress all letters for the ship in care
of the postmaster at New York. In
the general run of things the Mil
Office accumulated until there was a
well-filled sack of letters and parcels
waiting for shipment.
One day in last July this sack of
mail was placed aboard a fast mail
train and hurried to Chicago, where
it was transshipped to one of the
transcOntinental expresses for San
Francisco, where the Milwaukee was
in port. But before the mail arrived
Commander Rogers of the Milwaukee
received a hurry-up order from
Washington to sail for Honolulu.
On the day before the Milwaukee
was due in Honolulu the sack of
mail was started on the same Journey
i'll fast mail steamer, but the Mil
waUkee was 1000 miles out, bound
for Panama, 5000 miles away, when
the mail steamer was sighted off
Honolulu. Two days later the sack
was on its way back to San Fran
cisco, where it arrived in due time,
and as the milwaukee was still be-
tween 1900 and 2 1000 miles out of
Panama the San Francisco postmas-
ter hustled the bag on a Panama
bound steamer. The cruiser, how
ever, reached Panama first only to
be ordered to Amapala, Honduras, a
thousand miles to the north. and
was well on her journey when the
mail steamer arrived.
The Panama postmaster found that
a vessel was leaving for Amapala
within Is hours, and he transshipped
the sack OF mail to that steamer, but

HAS CUT DOWN CRIME.
Albany Has Been Benefited by Opera
ton of Prohibition Law.

Albany finds that the prohibition
law has greatly diminished petty
crimes, the number of arrests de-
creasing more than half as compared
with the same period for the year
before. The Herald says:
The effect of prohibition in Alba
ny as reflected in the records of the
police court was strikingly shown by
a story in yesterdays Herald. For
the first nine months of 1907 ITO
arrests were made by police officers
for violations OF city ordinances.
During the corresponding period of
the present year the number of ar
rests was 468, d decrease of precisely
SO per cent. The revenue from the
police court for the first nine months
of 1907 was $6,26S70, while for the
corresponding period of the first wear
under prohibition it was S1.146, a
decrease of 50 per cent 1t is i'm
possible not to attribute this remark
able decrease of petty crime in the
community to the effect or prohibi-
ton. 1t is true that a few blind til
gers have piled their trade and it
has not been impossible for those de-
string strong drink to secure it, but
the removal of the open saloon has
taken a temptation from the path of
the weak brother with a strong an
petite for strong drink, and has at
the same time closed a number Of re-
sorts which were necessarily an en-
couragment to certain lawlessness.
On the whole Albany's first year I'M
der prohibition may be said to have
brought blessings which abundantly
compensate for all it may have cost. +"

Acreage. Natives in Africa.
LONDON. The following extracts
from colonial reports on cotton
growing in British possessions shows
what progress is being made
Lately owing to the efforts of the
British Cotton Growing Association,
cotton cultivation in the British pos
sessions has made great strides dur
ing the past two years. The history
Of Egyptian cotton cultivation shows
the great results which have follow
ed from systematic cultiyations The
success which has attended the re
viyal Of cotton growing in the West
Indies is largely due to tie fact that
the cotton to which attention has
been given is the Sea Island variety
The British Cotton growing asso-
citation has already found that by es-
tablishing ginning, and buying sta
tions in the African colonies and
protectorates an immense impetus
has been given to the native prOduc-
ton The association, with the aid
of government contributions given
for the purpose. has made provision
for the conduct of experiments and
the supply Of information to native
growers The extent to which cot
ton growing will be resorted to by
the natives depends on the price
which can be offered and the cOmpe-
tition of other occupations and other
agricultural crops. 1t is said that in
India an extra million acres have
been brought under cotton during
the past year, and already a better
description of cotton from India is
being exported to this country. In
fact, there can be little doubt that
the systematic breeding from the in
ferior native cottons in India and
West Africa, especially in northern
Nigeria, of q type of the superior
qualities needed by the Lancashire
manufacturers will eventually be III
such large amounts as to render the
British consumer in the course OF
time nearly independent of American
supplies
One Of the most striking features
Of these reports is the excellent quail
ity Of cotton which has been grown
in South Africa, especially that from
American seed. In the Zoutpans
berg district of the Transvaal cottor
grown from American seed has beer
valued at q higher price than The
cotton grown in the United States

American cotton has APPARENT,

"Old Faithful RELOCATED to Army

A New York dispatch to the Wash

the most famous artillery horse in the

chine gun OF the Ninth United States
infantry to the top of a hill overlook
ing Picking, when the allies stormed
that city during the Boxer troubles:

the terms of his retirement he is to

done likewise, and now the secretary
