 Charged with resisting an officer. using profane language. being a dis orderly person, causing a crowd to collect. trespassing on park lands pro- hibited by law, and being disrespect- full to a policeman without cause, a parrot is a prisoner in the offices of the Essex County Park Commission in Newark waiting for its owner to square things with the authorities, ac. cording to the New York Times
 When Sergeant Wilson passed tree in Branch Brook Park he noticed a crowd gathered around the foot of it. He hastened to the spot and was in- formed by boy that some one was up in the branches "swearin' awful"
 Here, you. come down out of that" yelled Wilson. You're violating the law"
 "Oh, you bonehead, You hamfat," came the answer from the new and thick foliage.
 'Pn give you a minute to come down. Then I'll pull you down." said the angry sergeant,
 "Robber, Help! Take him out, Bonehead, Strike one," said the voice from the tree.
 He thinks he's at baseball game" said one of the crowd.
 "Ill go up and bring him down." said Sergeant Wilson. who was con- vinced by that time that he was deal ing with crazy baseball crank. The crowd admiringly watched him climb the tree, and looked at the commotion in the branches, there being sounds of deep breathing. imprecations. and struggles. In a few minutes the po- liceman reached earth somewhat rum pied, but triumphant, with an angry, profane parrot in his hands. The park commission is waiting for a man with an extensive baseball vernacular to lay claim to the bird.

 The best thing for arteriosclerosis Is not to get 1t. and the best way not to get it Is to be moderate in everything People growing old should be exam ined medically every six months. and then incipient arteriosclerosis may be detected and perhaps arrested by proper diet. drugs and regimen Youths Companion.

Hardening of the Arteries.

"A man is as old as his arteries" was said some time ago by a French physician; and the saying. like so many others of the phrase-loving French, has a good deal of truth in 1t and not a little error.
 There Is many a man, old in years but young in spirit. whose arteries are like pipe-stems So brittle do they seem, indeed. that the physician hard ly dares feel the pulse, lest he crush the friable artery under his finger; yet these old people are active in mind and body. and seem often much younger than men of but two-thirds their years.
 Again, one meets old and feeble folk whose lives seem to flicker danger ously, like candle flame in a draft, whose arteries are as soft and com pressive as those of child.
 In general, however. the saying Is true, and especially In premature old age 1t will usually be found that the arteries are hard, with f1brous thick ening. if not already more or less cal cified. Hardening of the blood-vessels -arteriosclerosis Is the accepted med ical term-consists In a flbrous over growth of the walls of the arteries. usually following more or less degen- eration of the normal tissues of the vessels. AS to just how this comes about. physicians are not entirely agreed It is probable that the change occurs first in the very minute vessels, those that run through the walls Of the larger vessels supplying them with blood for their nourlshment. When these are hardened by the deposit Of fbrous tissue they carry less blood and carry 1t more slowly. and so the nutrition of the walls of the larger vessels Is reduced. This leads to soft ening. and then Nature tries to repair the damage by the only new tissue at her hand-namely, fibrous tissue.
 Later. these fibrous and thickened walls of the larger arteries may be hardened still more by a deposit Of lime salts from the blood.
 The arteriosclerosis so common In old age Is the result of wear and tear" An elastic tube dilated by hy- draulic pressure and then contracting ten thousand times a day will have done much work by the end of seventy years. In younger life arteriosclerosis is most commonly caused by intem- perance-not in drinking only, but in eating, especially meat-eating. without enough exercise to consume the ex. cess of nutrient material.

 IVY sweeping generalizations'
 on the subject of medical iCNT@I inspection of school chill tSGXS&Sl dren are contained in an
 article entitled "A Lesson From Medical Inspection of Schools" published in the Psychological Clinic, a journal edited by Professor Lightner Wttmer of the University of Pennsyl- vania and published in Philadelphia The author of the article Is George H. Martin, who has been an educator for forty-four years, supervisor of the schools of Boston and since 1904 secre- tary of the Massachusetts board of education.
 The medical inspection of children in schools has been so beneficial. ac- cording to MT. Martin, that "a com munity which has not provided through its proper authorities for a thorough-going inspection of its schools Is guilty of criminal negligence" He pOIIllS lO lhC dlSOONtls bAlaI Oub oA more than 100000 children examined in Massachusetts S1.000 were found defective in vision and 22.000 in hear ing. and to the results of other ex- aminations as throwing much light on the subject of backward and per haps delinquent children.
 Concerning the immediate results of the examinations he writes:
 Then we consign the unfortunates to the care of the family physician, send them to the public dispensary or the public clinic, or send the school nurse to look after the cases in the home. and by these means we patch up a few. Some glasses are provided some teeth cleaned and filled. some adenoids removed. and many children begin to know the joy of living.
 All this Is good. It is worth many times what 1t has cost. But is 1t

Francis J. Heney Will
Prosecute Alleged
Bribe-giver

San Francisco. Jan. 12.-Patrick Cal
houn of New York and San Francisco,
president of the United Railroads and
director of several large eastern cor
porations, appeared in Judge William
P Lawlors department of the SUI
perior court today for the opening ses-
sion of mis- trial on an Indictment
charging him with Offering a bribe TO
Fred Nicholas, former member OF
the board Of supervisors, legislative
body of the city and county of San
Francisco The charge Is based uppn
one OF nineteen indictments returned
against the railroad president by two
grand jurors and was an outcome OF
the municipal scandal of 1905. when
sixteen supervisors confessed to whole.
sale acceptance Of brlbes for the award
OF privileges TO public service cor
porations. and the mayor OF the city.
Eugene f. Schmitz. was removed from
office and imprisoned with bonds fixed
at over S1,000,000. Calhoun. togeth-
er with three otner officials of the
United Railroads, was accused in the
various Indictments, Of having author
lied and assisted In the payment OF
$4,000 to the supervisors who con
fessed, In return for which. 1t is al
legged, the board granted TO the cor
poratiOn a permanent permit for an
overhead trolley on several of tho
roads formerly operated by cable syS-
TEN.
Tiery L. Ford, chief counsel for the
United Railroads. and-former attorney
general of California, was thrice tIied
upon a similar indictment. Twice the
jury disagreed and upon the third oc-
casion. verdict of acquittal was re-
turned.
Although the majority OF the indict-
ments against Calhoun were returned
nearly two years ago, he mas not been
tried on any of them, and TO the con-
tinuance granted at various times his
attorneys have repeatedly taken ex-
ceptlons
The Calhoun trial will be held in
Carpenters hall where Francis j.
Heney was shot and seriously wound
ed during the trial of Abraham Ruef,
and wnere Ruef suffered his first con-
viction and heard the judgment Of
fourteen years In the penitentiary pro-
nounced by the same judge.
Today's proceedings promise TO be
somewhat barren Of development un-
less the defense shall present some
motion relative TO the selection Of tho
jury. Judge Lawlor has summoned
$50 citizens. as a first panel and 1t Is
probable that the court will require the
full morning session to near the eX-
cuses of those VINO believe themselves
disqualified or otherwise exempted
from service on the jury.
Assistant District Attorneys Francis
]. HeneY and John O'Gara will con-
duct the prosecution. while the de-
fendant Will be represented By A. A.
Moore. Stanley Moore. Lewis a. ByinS-
ton and William a. Abbott IT is pos
sible that additions to the staff of the
defense may be made, but Assistant
District Attorney O'Gara last night
expressed a belief tnat no addition
would be made to the forces OF the
prosecution.

Last Act Is to Reduce
Sentence of Defunct
Bank President

Denver, Colo, Jan. 12.-Rumors in
circulation for the past month that
Governor Henry A. Buchtel would par
don John E. Godding, president OF the
defunct State Bank of Rocky Ford, who
WAS sentenced to from eight TO ten
years in the penitentiary for receiving
deposits. when ne knew the bank was
insolvent. received partial conflrma-
ton Last night when the governor. as
practically the last act OF his admlnis-
trauon. signed papers committing God
dings' sentence from two TO two and 4
half years.
In his official order the governor
states that "in the excited state OF the
public mind at the time of Godding' 8
trial. no one could nave a fair trial
and that case had been e-judged" I"
The language and conduct OF the
prosecution during the trial is also
criticised as highly improper" Cod
ding was sentenced on November 4,
1908.
The reports that the governor intend
ed perdoning Godding created excite
ment in the town of Rocky Ford, and
several weeks ago a delegation of de-
positors of the defunct bank and other
prominent citizens appeared before
the governor and made emphatic pro-
test At that time Governor Buchtel
told his visitors that the reports we're
not substantially correct, but gave no
intimation that he contemplated or
dering Godding's sentence reduced.

IN COAL
MINE
Fifty to One Hundred
Miners Lose Lives
In Explosion

Rluefeld, w. Va, Jan. 12.-As the
Lick Branch mine at Swltchback.
about twenty miles from here, be-
tween fifty and one hundred miners
were killed at 80 o'clock this morn
ing. The number may be largely IN.
creased. as from ESQ to 800 miners
were at work at the time and It had
not been ascertained shortly before
noon how many had survived.
This afternoon n rescue party had
not been able TO enter the mine on
account of the intense heat IL is
thought that, following the explosion
the mine caught fire, although but
little smoke Is finding It's way out.
The mine officials refuse TO give an
estimate of the number that may have
met death, but at the PIT mouth it is
now believed that over 100 have per-
ished.
While the officials cannot now suC-
eest cause for the explosion, min
ers place the blame on some OF the
foreign miners who may have en-
tered with an open lamp.
On December 2S last. ao explosion
occurred In this mine. which up to
that time had been regarded as a mod
el mine. On that occasion the cause
Was not ascertained and the death list
reached fifty. The last body IN con
Ncctlon with that explosion was
brought 10 the surface only last FRI
day after which the state mine in
spector declared that the mine was
Sgain safe and work could be resum-
ed. The majority Of the miners who
were engaged TO resume work at tnc
I1ine were Americana, With few
foreigners and some colored workers
as laborers. 1t was stated that the
mine was examined early today, De
fore the new shift went TO work amt
was reported to be perfectly safe. In
spite of this, however. -sooir after work
Was begun, the explosion occurred
with a death list that will probably
far exceed that of the December eX.
