SAYS "SNAP THE WHIP"
is DANGEROUS SPORT.
Irvington Man Also Dislikes
Ladder Gymnastics in Schools.

Reinhold Kniep, in behalf of the West
End Improvement Association, ap-
peared before the I%rvington Board of
Education last night and complained
against fire drills, the danger OF the
ladder gymnastic apparatus in thedifer-
ent school courts and the practise of
playing 'snap the whip" which, he
understood, was in vogue on the school
Fairgrounds. He said hat he was not
opposed to the fire, drill system, but
was opposed to keeping the children
standing still in the yards and thereby
exposing them to colds and sickness
during the cold season.
Mr.. Kniep favored the placing Of mats
on the concrete floors under the sus-
pended latters in the school courts on
which the pupils swing from rung to
rung during recess. He said that he
understood more thar one child had
been hurt by missing his hold OF the
rungs and telling to the ground. The
snap the whip he declared was a
dangerous game and proper supervision
should be installed by the board to
prevent it.
Mr.. Kniep also suggested that the
present practise of sending a child who
was late for school home for an excuse
was not O wise one and a better pre-
v~entive for hardness could be adopted.
Superintendent Frank H. Morrell took
spirited exception to these charges. He
declared emphaticaily that the children
were mo- kept standing any length OF
time in the open during fire drills, and
that the game of snap the whip wal

WITNESSES AND
EVIDENCE IN SUGAR
FRAUD TRIALS GONE
City Weighers, Whose Testi=
mony Would Be Invaluable,
Strangely Missing.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Relief from the
rather dry and technical evidence
which has been the rule SO far in the
sugar frauds case was indicated 10
today's session opened in the United
States Circuit Court.
Following the demonstration of eX-
perts as to the workings of the alleged
trick scales on the Williamsburg sugar
docks, Deputy Surveyor Richard Parr,
the maj behind the original sugar fraud
exposures, was expected to take the
stand and tell what he knew about the
six former employees of the American
Sugar Refining Company now on trial
for conspiracy to defraud the customs
out of millions of dollars in sugar duties
which the government charges.
1t was stated today that documentary
evidence has been destroyed and q
score or more of men whose testimony
would be highly important to h gov
eminent have disappeared since i;
began its investigation into the sugar"
weighing frauds. Secret service agents
have secured the world. and have OBJ
tanned duplicates of the documents
but have been unable to find the miss
ing men.
The documents destroyed were records
kept by the city weighers who were
employed by shipping agents and were
not licensed. Not one of these mel
could be found by the government
though a score or more had beef
weighing sugar on the trusts docks
at different times. Not even a RECORD
of the men was obtainable. Apparent
ly they had dom their work and gone
II was the custom of the city weigh
ers to weigh each cargo of indie
pendently Of government weighers. Or
the formers figures the bills of ship
pers against the trust were based. On
the government weighers' figures tn
duty vas levied. Practically the who'll
Of the governments case hung on 1T
ability to show discrepancies between
the weights recorded by the two set
OF weighers. By sending to all corner
Of the earth the government has OBJ
tanned the figures Of the city weigher

THE MIGRATORY SENSE.
~ .:..s..s ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


The migration of birds, unlike the
migration of human beings, is very
mysterious thing Flying, as most oil
the song-birds do, by night, coming
and going in great focks, and chang
ing their locality for no one reason
but for many, the problem of these
tidal waves" in bird life is wholly
fascinating. D. Lange, in the Allan
tic Monthly in discussing some phases
of it, speaks as follows concerning
the birds sense of direction:
How do birds find their way? There
is no doubt that they are often guild
ed by sight along coasts, lakes, riv-
ers and valleys, which are plainly Wis
lble for a great distance from the
height at which birds travel.
In other cases, old birds which have
the young birds follow their calls and
their leadership.
What wonderful stories these wing
ed travellers could tell if they could
of geography they would make for our
children. 1t has, however, been
shown lately beyond all reasonabl
doubt that in addition to keen sight,
acute hearing, individual experience
and race instinct, birds possess what
must seem to us kind of sixth sense,
the sense of orientation.
The Hartman Alaska Expedition
found flocks of murres, which are
sea-birds, flying straight for their
home on a lonely rock island thirty
miles away. through fog so thick
that everything a hundred yards off
was absolutely hidden from view.
What human brain could guide a ship
thirty miles through dense fog with
out compass?
Still more conclusive demonstration
of this sense of direction in birds has
recently been furnished by Prof. John
B. Watson. He caught and marked
fifteen sooty terms and noddieS on the
Dry Tortugas, in the Gulf of Mexico,
and took them out to sea Some of
the birds were carried as far as Cape
Hatteras, eight hundred and fifty miles
north of the Tortugas, before they
were set free.
The sooty terms and the noddies are
southern birds, which seldom range
farther north than the southern coast
Of Florida, and it is not likely that
any of those experimental on had
ever been farther north but none the
less, thirteen out of fifteen found their
way back to the Tortugas Islands.
