Usefulness Of spIders.

Despite the fact that the spider.
next to the mouse, is most violently
stimulating to feminine sensitiveness,
1t is an insect of very good charac.
ter. 1t feeds exclusively upon other
freshly killed insects, and they are the
kinds denounced by sanitary authori-
ties, the house fly being its favorite
quarry. His service in reducing the
numbers of this pest is considerable.
because the spider is always busy and
he is present in countless numbers.
The reason why he is not more fire..
quently seen is that he is retiring in
his habits and shuns human society
quite as much as it shuns him. He
seldom bites anything but his food,
and even when in self-defense he does
assert himself, the result is no worse
than mosquito bite or bee sting.
The touching story of "'Fhe Spider and
the Fly" was evidently intended to
invite sympathy for the fly. but that
was before Musca domestica had had
his picture posted in the rogues' gal.

Observation-Disclosures
President Taft Agrees to Have Con-
sress Conduct Public Inquiry
Into Land Office.

Washington, d. C.-The long stand
ing feud between Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger and Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the forestry department,
has reached a crisis. A public inves-
tigation that will lay bare all the
charges and countercharges is to be
given by congress. President Taft
has yielded to the demands of both
Secretary Ballinger and his critics for
public investigation of the whole
subject matter underlying the So
called Ballinger-Pinchot controversy
MI. Ballinger has served upon the
president virtually an ultimatum, to
the effect that such an investigation
was indeed the price of his remaining
in the cabinet. He made it clear to
the president that he was no longer
willing to sit silently in his office and
wait for the thing to "blow over"
Mr.. Taft, 1t is said, reluctantly ad-
mitted the disappointment of his hope
that the country at large would ac-
cept as final his own vindication of
Mr.. Ballinger in his dismissal of the
charges brought before him by L. r.
CLAWS, the former special agent of
the land office. and his conclusion that
the investigation demanded by both
sides in this matter was inevitable.

other negroes were found barricaded

rounded by white men. Fearing for
their lives, Montgomery's COM
panions surrendered, but Montgomery
fastened the door after having defied
arrest. One of his negro companions
was then forced to set fire to the
house. When the building was en-
veloped in smoke Montgomery threw
open window and opened fire with
telling effect on the attackers with
a magazine shotgun. Ernest Slade
fell mortally wounded, his face and
body filled with shot. N. G. Carlton,

THE STATEHOUSE PROBE
DENMAN ASKS FEDERAL AID IN
QUiZZING BANKS.
Wants Senator Burton to Assist In
Compelling National Bank De-
posltorles to Open Books.

Columbus, O.-Senator Theodore e.
Burton of Cleveland has been called
upon to assist in the state house
probe initiated by Gov. Harmon. At
torney General Denman has requested
Senator Burton to open negotiations
with the controller of the treasury for
federal order compelling all nation
al banks which have state funds to
show the books.
Senator Burton was informed that
everybody in Ohio was eager to get
at the facts except few bankers and
individuals who may have personal
interest in concealing information"
The refusal of national banks to dis
close the facts under the present cir
cumstances Is made the subject of
strong comment by Gov. Harmon and
the attorney general.
The state officials believe the Unit
ed States controller has the authority
to force the banks to divulge the facts
they are so jealously guarding. The
officials are confident the desired rul-
ing will be issued Immediately. Fail.
ing to get the order, however, the
governor and attorney general say the
information will be secured through
legal processes, no matter what the
expense or how long it takes. Up to
date the state officials have been care
full not to unduly harass the banks.
Plans are now we'll under way, how
ever, to go after the secretive bank.

The state is entitled to the full 8
per cent interest in the caae of all
funds placed in banks before the en-
actment Of the depository law. One
move of the attorney general and
Special Counsel Booth will be to sue
for the full amount of interest at 6
per cent. If per cent interest was
paid any state official. suits will be
brought for this amount and the banks
sued for the balance. Two Cleveland
banks will be named in the original
petitions in addition to the Euclid
Avenue Trust Co. The names are to
be withheld until the suits are filed,
the attorney general says. Evidence
was secured which involves a Zanes-
vile bank. Eight banks at least will
be named in the first suits, all of
which will be filed in Franklin
ounty.

FIRE CAUSES THREE DEATHS
Large Store In London, Eng, Is De-
stroyed-christmas Shoppers Able
to Escape from Harm.

London, Eng.-A disastrous fire,
tanned the loss of three lives and the
destruction of the big drapery store of
Arding & Hobbs, at Clapham, a south
western quarter of London, occurred
here. The fire was due, it is believed
to the breaking of an electric bulb
that started a blaze among celluloid
articles beneath. 1t occurred about
4:30 o'clock in the afternoon when
the store, covering an acre of ground
and having five floors and 100 depart
ments, was crowded with customers.
The Christmas trade was in full
swing, but in little more than an hour
the building was a mass of ruins. The
damage is estimated at about $780,
600.
All the customers made their way in
safety out of the store and there
was very little panic. The 800 en-
ployes followed them. The progress
of the flames, which was helped by
the Christmas decorations, was SO
rapid that some of the employees were
caught in the upper floors.
Two men brought couple of girls
to one of the windows. One of the
girls descended the fire escape in
safety. While the second was trying
to reach the ground the ladder took
fire and she fell and was killed. The
two men then jumped and also were
killed. At midnight it was still i'm
possible to search the ruins and some
of the employees are unaccounted for.
