BANK BURGLARS TOOLS.
Kentucky Court Holds That Cashier
Is Not One of Them.

According to a recent decision of
the Kentucky court of appeals a
bank cannot recover indemnity from
casualty or burglary insurance
company in the case of robbery
through intimidation of the cashier
or other official.
1t appears that the bank in this
case had closed and the money had
been locked in the safe, when rob-
bers appeared, held up the cashier
and forced him to open the safe.
The casualty policy provided indem-
nifty only in cases after the bank had
been closed, where entrance was
made to the safe "by means of tools
or explosives employed directly there
upon
The bank claimed that the cashier
formed a tool within the meaning of
the policy, but the court holds that
more ordinary burglars tools were
meant.

Senator McEnery came out into the

Tots in the Old Country Have Their

The startling assertion that 40 per
cent. of the children under eight
years of age in the London schools
are addicted to the use of alcoholic
liquor is made by the London Lam
Get, and has been confirmed by SUBJ
sequent investigations made by
London paper. In one school, not
in a VIGOROUSLY degraded neighbor-
hood, it was found that nearly ~
per cent. of the babies under eight
years of age drank liquor daily, and
that "a per cent. drank it OCCASION
ally-generally on Sunday. In an
other school only five children were
found out of 21S who drank regular
ly, but 40 per cent. imbibed occa-
sionally. One little mother gave gin
to her baby as pacifier. Il don't
drink it, but my baby does" she
explained. From Vienna comes
still more startling report Inquiries
in that city disclosed the fact that
over 80 per cent. of the school chill
dren drank beer regularly, IL per
cent. wine and 31a per cent. spirits.
Similar conditions are said to pre-
vail also in Holland.

THE EDUCATIONAL SPECIAL
The College on Wheels Will Roll
Again Next Spring.

According to Commissioners of Ag-
riculture T. G. Hudson, the "edu-
cational special" or the agricultural
college on Wheels" which made such
a successful tour of the state in
1908, will make a similar tour soon
after the first of the year. In speak
ing of this matter Colonel Hudson
said:
$50 far as 1 know at the present
the educational special operated in
1908 will make another tour of the
state next year. l am heartily in
favor of the plan, and think DR..
Soule and the board of trustees of the
State Agricultural College will ad-
vocate the plan also"
From the above it would seem
that this agricultural college on
wheels" is practically an assured
fact. 1t is expected that the tour
will begin the latter part of January
or early in February, and will travel
constantly until the later part of
March or the first of April.
The railways of the state have al
ways co-operated with board of trus-
tees on these psecials, and provide
a special train which will make stops
at each town and allow brief lectures
to be made there by some representa-
tive of the department of agricul-
ture, from the crops of professors of
the agricultural college and some
representatives of the Cotton Seed
Crushers Association of Georgia,
who will give brief talks on the use1
and values of cotton seed product

COTTON GRADING SYSTEM FIXED
New Grades Decided Upon by Secre-
tary Wilson's Committee.

Cdry w HSOn'S committee.
A standard of different grades of
cotton has been established by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson in ac-
cordance with provision of the ag-
ricultural appropriation law effect
i've June 80, 1909.
A committee of cotton experts was
named by Secretary Wilson to fix the
standard. 1t met last winter. Every
possible facility was furnished it by
the department. The committee
fixed standard of middling cotton,
and using that as a basis established
a standard of nine different grades
to be designated: middling fair,
strict good middling, good middling,
strict middling, middling, strict low
middling, strict good ordinary and
ordinary The committee submitted
to Secretary Wilson a unanimous re-
port fixing the grades, and making
NCA IoAA Recommendations. his IT,
port the secretary has approved. In
"a statement issued by Secretary Will
son the following announcement is
made:
in view of the fact that contracts
are made for cotton in advance of
the ensuing cotton season the com
mittee recommended that the grades
agreed upon by the committee be not
promulgated for general use in the
trade transactions prior to Septem-
Der /, 1910. In order, however, for
the cotton trade to become more
fully acquainted with the grades the
department will in short time place
sets in the hands of a limited num-
Der of associations, organizations, ex-
changes and agricultural colleges for
inspection. These sets will enable
the cotton producers, cotton mer-
chants and spinners to become famil-
lar with them

NEW YORK,-Wilbur Wright cir
cled the great statue of Liberty at
the entrance of New York harbor in
his aeroplane today, while in the up
per part of the city two huge diri-
gible balloons failed ingloriously in
their task. This, the first day OF
flight of the Hudson-Fulton celebra-
ton, was a victory for the heavier

Both Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss
scared successfully from the aero.

Capt. Thomas Baldwin and George

New York Worlds $4,000 New

to descend because of mechanical
difficulties.
Wilbur Wright made three sensa~
tional flights, and Curtiss made on
brief though successful test spin Oh

with his dirigible landed in the Hud-
son river less than an hour after the
start, while Tomlinson, after remain

1880 p. m, came to earth near White
Plains, N. Y, % miles from the
starting point. Neither of the dir
iglble pilots were injured, nor was
either craft seriously damaged.
Curtiss Makes Flight.
Curtiss was the first to leave the
earth. At O'Clock in the morning
he made brief flight.
Two hours later Wilbur Wright
made his first ascension, circling Coy
ernors island and remaining in the
air for seven minutes. After am
hours rest Wright again went afloat.
this time remaining in the air for
six minutes and thirty seconds. at
tanning a speed estimated at fifty
miles an hour, and with a gIorious
sweep out over the bay, passing en-
tirely around the great emblem Of
liberty on Bedloe's island.

NO NIGH BEER THERE.
At Least Governors Man Couldn't
Find Any in Savannah.
THREATENS TO MAKE GASES

Says He Will Return There When
the Chatham Grand Jury Meets,
and Have the Delinquents Con-
victed of Something. Greeted Him
Pleasantly, and That Was All,
With Few Extra Smiles.
SAVANNAH, Ga.-''I don't believe
there is any such thing as near beer,
but whether there is or not will
be back in Savannah when the grand
jury meets, and those who do not
pay up will be convicted of some
thing"
With this parting shot r. A..
Ewing, who came to Savannah for
the purpose of rounding up the near
beer dealers who had not paid the
state tax of 5000 left for Macon,
where he will try to collect the tax
there.
Ewing admitted that he was disap-
pointed in the showing he had made
here. Out of twenty-five to which his
list was finally sifted down he says
he expected to collect from at least
seventeen without trouble. AS it is,
the Ordinary's books show, and
Ewing admits, he has collected but
six
Ewing says he is leaving a Savan-
nah man in charge of the task of col
lecting evidence against the near
beer people. He refuses to divulge
the name of the man he has engaged
for this purpose, saying he prefers
him to do the work secretly.
Mr.. Ewing says, however, he will
show the Savannah dealers in near
beer that he was not bluffng, but
will be back when the grand jury
meets in October to present the evil
dence he has against them. He says
he has evidence, having bought beer
in every place in the city which he
charges with not having paid the
4, license.
Ewing plumes himself on having
lcollected something, and says that
the state is better off by $1,000 on
account of his visit to Savannah
He gets $40, or 8 per cent, out of
every license taken out, and there
fore realized $50 from his several
days stay here. He would have
made quite a killing if he had col
lected the tax from everyone he
charged with being delinquent.
The delinquents, or at least those
charged by Ewing with being such,
We're rather disappointing. He says
they met him pleasantly when he
made his first call on them, and
promised to come across promptly
and make visit to the Ordinary's
office with 5000 a feature of their
next days programme. When they
did not show up he visited them
again and met with one excuse and
another.
The next thing he knew he was
being called for by attorneys, en-
gagged by the near beer dealers, to
talk the thing over. Ewing says
there was nothing in it for him to
talk to the lawyers, and he did not
pay any attention to them. He does
not seem to think he gets an even
break when he goes up against the
legal lights, and would have nothing
of it. The outcome of the cases will
be awaited with gread deal of in
terest.
