HAzE:RS' VICTIM
MAY NOT LIVE
FoURTEEN-YEAR-oLD FRESHMAN
is PUSHED ONTO HOT FUR
MACE BY soPHs

Cranston. r. l., Sept. 17.-As the re-
suit of being hazed by upper class
men at the Edgewood High school,
Maxwell Harrison, the IA year old
soon of the Rev. Zachariah Harrison
pastor of the Second Free Baptist
church, freshman in the school, is
so seriously injured that he is not ex-
pected to live.
From the story of young Harrison
it appears that Tuesday night he was
waylaid by a dozen hazers, who
dragged him to the entrance Of the
air box of the school furnace and
showed him in bodily. He fell about
eight feet. and as he fitted tightly in
side the shaft he was unable to climb
out.
crawIs to Burning Furnace.
Although suffering severe pains
from the injuries caused by his fall,
he struggled to regain the entrance.
Failing in this, he crawled and worm
ed himself through the long, dark air
tunnel which passed under the floor
of the basement, only to find himself
finally up against the CRATE of the
burning furnace. Being unable to move
around in the confined space, he suf-
fered terribly from the heat, until the
hazers finally were able to rescue
him.
Young Harrison was taken to his
home, and six stitches were taken to
close wounds in his right leg. The
boy then was sent to the Rhode Island
hospital. He is suffering from a broken
right leg, a badly lacerated kneeeap
and several burns, and it is feared
that gangrene may set in.
Police Seek Confession ia Vain.
The police and school authorities
have been unable to get a confession
from any of the boys schoolmates who
were implicated in the hazing.
William Armitage, Albert Moody and
Harold Rickert also were hazed Tues
day night. The investigation is said
to have shown that a large number II
the second and third year boys were
mixed up in the affair. The super
intendent of schools says that all will
be expelled if caught.

HALEY COMET
HAS BEEN SEEN
BY NAKED { YE
CHICAGO PROFESSOR FIRST TO
VIEW NEW AERIAL VISITOR
AND SECURED PHOTOGRAPHS
USED TELESCOPE.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-For the first
time in seventy-four years Halleys
comet has been observed with the
naked eye. The observation was made
by Professor Burnham of Yerkes OBJ
seryatory at Lake Geneva Wednesday
and Thursday night. Two telescope
negatives were secured.
Professor Burnham was the first in
America to see the comet with the
naked eye, aided by a telescope.
Halley's comet, according to scien-
lists, will not be visible to the naked
eye without telescope before next
spring. The sighting of it with the
eye through the telescope is consider
ed a great feat by scientists. Profess
sor Burnham was sweeping the heav-
ems with his forty-inch telescope at
the observatory when he first saw the
visitor while Prof. Lee was working a
24-inch instrument with camera.

Injuries When Balloon is
Tanueled in Wires.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 17.-Edward
Keating of Belleville, Ont, was electro
cuted yesterday and Malcolm Mac
Campbell of ottawa and Carl e.
Wingerter of Toledo, Ohio, nearly
shocked to death by the framework
of Nasser's dirigible airship fouling
several high-tension electric wires.
The three men caught hold of the
frame to help right the ship. The
ground was wet, they formed short
circuit and 1900 volts shot through
their bodies. The three men toppled
over apparently dead but owing TO
the heroic efforts Of bystanders two
out of the three lives were saved.
The airship was in no way damaged
and made a most successful fight, the
first ever made in Ottawa AS the
airship was about to go up Mrs.
Nasser saw the danger her husband
was in. She shouted to him as he
stood by his engine and he jumped
to safety.

Father is none other than Henry Pfeiff
of Lincoln, Neb., who wired Chief
Gallagher wednesday to arrest Willie
Pfeiff should the latter come to this

The head of the local police wired the
anxious father that Willie had not yet
made application for the required
license to wed, but the information
never reached the elder Pfeiff until
that parsonage walked sinto the police
headquarters last night. Ii was too
late, however, for Willie, according to
information received from Monett,

riage to Cecil Lester. a former OF
tumwa woman. Cecil and Willie had
left Lincoln together, says the en-
ragged parent, to Night Captain Matt
Mier, and knowing that Cecil's mother,
Louisa lester lived here, he naturally
thought that Ottumwa would be their
Gretna Green. 1t wasn't however,
and now Henry has a new daughter

BANkE: Rs HIT
POSTAL BANK
AND GUARANTy
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY CON-
VENTioN IN CHICAGO CON-
DEraNING BOTH OF THESE PRO-
POSED LEGISLATIVE PLANS.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Bankers repres-
snting every state in the union met
today in the closing sessions of the
convention of the American Bankers
association. The important feature OF
The days program was an address by
James B. Forgan of Chicago on "The
Efficacy and the Limitations of Bank
Supervising by Examination and Re
sponsible Source of Bank Manage
ment."
Reports from various sections and
from the standing. law and federal
tention. The selection of officers is
scheduled for the close of the day.
Postal Bank and Guaranty Hit.
Resolutions condemning both the
guaranty deposit laws and the postal
savings banks were adopted today by
the American Bankers association.
Not a voice was raised in defense
of the postal savings plan, nor was
there a word uttered in favor OF
guaranty plan. Informal reports, in
speeches and impromptu, from both
sides were presented and the conven-
tion was apparently of one mind on
the subjects. One banker declared
that if the good of the country de-
manded, that the experience of trust
ed and intelligent men as custodians
of the peoples savings be regarded,
and the custodianship turned over
to third and fourth class postmasters
the bankers would acquiesce, but that
"if the welfare of the country did not
demand such action the bankers would
protest in no uncertain tones"
The president of the section, John
H. Johnson of Detroit, in his annual
report argued against postal savings
banks and insisted that the savings
deposits be safeguarded against the
possibility of loss. IS
President George M. Reynolds, the
head of the bankers association, cor
graduated the savings bank section
on its steady opposition to the postal
savings bank.
Election Held.

the savings bank section. officers for
the section for the coming year wer&
elected as follows:

BUMPER CROPS.
Indicated Yield OF Wheat Exceeded But
Twice in Our History.

In the July crop report issued
by the Department of Agriculture
the vast extent of the wealth and
resources of the country is re.
vealed. The area of corn under
cultivation is 108 100000 acres,
which Is 100000 acres In excess
of the highest previous records.
The condition of the crop is 6. 3
per cent. higher than at this time
last year and 4 5 per cent. higher
than the ten year average.
The indicated yield is 3,161, ,000,-
600 bushels, which is 100000, 900
bushels larger than the bumper
crop of 1906. The farm value of
the 1908 crop was 81, 100000, 900
and while the market price today
is somewhat lower than a year
ago, the increase IN acreage and
prospective yield will likely bring
the total value of this years crop
up to the maximum. This is an
immense amout of new wealth to
be added to the general store by
single crop. The indicated
yield of oats is also close to the
previous record, and the lndicat.
ed yield of wheat has been ex-
ceeded but twice IN our history.
The value of this years wheat
crop will probably be the highest
ever realized. The basis for this
expectation Is the extremely
small surplus remaining IN farm
er's hands fl ON last years crop.
The government estimates this
surplus at only 100000 bush
els, which Is less than half the
surplus held a year ago and the
smallest ever reported. Incl
dentally, the figures confirm the
estimate of the leading bull spec
\ ulators, and lnasmuch as surplus
stock abroad is relatively as low
as our own, the prospects favor
comparatively high prices for
wheat and -four for the remand
er of the year, unless consumers
are forced to substitute other
foodstuffs.
