THE CRAB AND IT'S SECRET

Greenwich Conn. Aug. 25.--To be
presented with sure tip OF ST.
100000 hnd by q crab is startling. This.
however. is what j. r. Chard, a
wealthy resident OF this city, believes
has happened to him.
Mr.. Chard has been spending the
past month near New Smyrna, Fla
While fishing a short time ago he
landed huge crab Sticking among
the claws OF the crab he found round
corrugated piece OF metal Mr.. Chard
scraped the piece OF metal and discov-
cred 1t was Spanish doubloon bear
ing the date 1903. Naturally Mr.,
Chards mind sought an explanation
Of how crab could pick UP this an
cient coin He reasoned that as the
coin was so large the crab must have
picked II up after he was full grown,
and therefore could NOT have had II in
his possession q great length Of time,
and as the crab does not travel greas
distances in short time, the natural
deduction was that he must have
picked the coin up In the vicinity OF
New Smyrna.
1t is a matter OF history that this
coast OF Florida was infested with pi-
rates during the early part Of the sew

FELL LIKE A BULLET
Fest oF Holding Sphere Dropped From
the Wasrington Monument Was
Most Difficult Stunt.

Washington, Aug 25.--Figures f1rn-
ished by the ordnance department Of
the navy show the real significance Of
the feat of Charley Street, the Wash
lngton American league catcher, who
caught baseball dropped from the
Washington monument yesterday, and
should make that young man realize
The danger he ran
The velocity OF body Weighing Ave
ounces and falling 604 feet would be
155 feet per second. The energy OF q
baseball falling that distance would
be what Is technically known as III
foot pounds, which means that the
Washington catcher's performances
was equal 10 catching weight OF Ill
pounds after falling one foot.
These figures are computed by ex-
perts engaged daily Ia calculating the
nirection and fight OF projectiles and
are absolutely accurate except for
possible variation of fraction of .
foot pound. dependent upon atncs-
pheric conditions.
"a bali falling 504 feet, according to
the navy departments expert. would
have little efrect on wood or asphalt
beyond i slight dent. IT would pene
trate soil about two and one half
inches. Were one-inch yellow pine
plank placed on solid surface the
impact would hardly leave any trace.
bur II the plank we're suspended from
supports six on eight feet apart the
force of the ball half way between the
supports would easily break the

EMPTY CARS ARE
SHIPPED EAST
N. P. Moving Cars for Heavy
Grain Haul

valley city. n D.. Aug. 2S.--For
several nonths the side tracks at the
division points along the Northern Pa
cifc railroad have been rather crowd
ed with empty cars. During the past
few days there has been a steady
movement east and 1t has been noticed
that the empties are fast disappearing.
The eastern movement OF crops begins
before the movement west In fact
there is small amount OF grain now
being brought to market. Can 1t be
that there is a movement on foot to
close up the western market as was
the case two years ago. II this Is not
the case what can be the reason for
the company allowing the cars to- lay
idle right here in the midst Of the
grain belt and just as the, crops are
coming to market moving them to
points where the grain movement does
not begin until considerable later? 1t
IT 10 be hoped that the company will
come to realize that the crops OF North
Dakota are not total failures soon
enough to avoid car famine.

third time Tommy Burns proved him
self better man than Bill Squires,
defeating the man who formerly was
heavyweight champion of Australia in
the thirteenth round here last night.
Squires was hopelessly reeling about
the ring in the twelfth round, and
many OF the spectators thought that
Burns could have slowed him away
In that round had he been so dis
posed.
Squires showed in better form than
on his previous appearances before
Burns, his experience with the Amer
leans rushes in his previous encoun-
ters enabling him to stall" three or
four rounds when Burns seemed will
ing to set the pace, AT one or two
stages he came back with counters,
when he found Burns reaching him too
often, and threw himself wildly open

ethics for Lawyers.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 25.--Legal lights
Of the land are today congregating In
Seattle for the annual convention Of
the National Bar association, which
begins tomorrow, Some OF the most
distinguished lawyers OF the country
are already here and every train
brings additional delegates, who arc
given cordial reception by the att
torneys OF Seattle and Washington.
Despite the distance OF Seattle from
the center OF population, It II likely
that the attendance will be quite up
to the usual standard.
Many important legal questions VIII
come up for discussion during the
week. II Is likely that Judge Taft's
recent speech before the Virginia Bar
association will be considered, as II
had admittedly created profound ef-
feet upon the lawyers OF the country
One Of the most important features
OF the convention will b. the prescn-
tation of the final report OF the com.
naittee on rules OF conduct for lawyers
which will include a complete code 81
