whale TangIes cabIe

WAX idhkSo SduNs
A big whale recently played
havoc with the cable connecting
the territory of Alaska with
Seattle, audit cost Uncle Sam
many dollars to repair the dam
age.
Sent north to discover the
cause of a sudden interruption
of cable service between Valdez
and Sitea. Capt. Latin, of the
United States cable ship Burn
side, has returned with an inter-
esting story. The cable ship
picked up the cable near Cooks
Inlet off Sitka and found enough
work to keep the crew busy for
several days.
A whale feeding on the bottom
of the ocean and swimming along
with its mouth open wide, in or
der that the meshes of whale
bone might catch and hold food,
collided with the cable. The
cables became entangled in the
long lunches of whalebone hang.
ing from the upper jaw of the
whale and the great fish in its
struggle to spit out the cable,
turned over and over, diyed and
leaped, until the inch and FIVE
Fights wire rope was twisted and
kinked ina tangle worse than
the famous Gordian knot of old.
Unable to free itself, the
whale drowned, and the crew at
the Burnside never had a worse
job of lifting a cable than when
they tried to haul on board the
wire some miles off Cooks Inlet.
When the twisted and knOtted
cable was finally brought on
deck, the partly decayed carcass
of the whale was still attached to
it.
The cable was severed and
again connected and put into
a knot. The cable did not part
because of its tensile strength
of $1,000 pounds.
Some years ago the cable was
found twisted and knotted in a
like manner, and now Capt. Laf-
fin thinks he can explain the rea-
son for it. The kinked cable
then caused a great deal of dis
cussion among sailors and gave
rise to the theory that it had
been twisted by jagged rocks
turned over and over by a sub
marine earthquake.
A section of this whale bone
and also a whale gun and bombs
used in shooting whales may be
seen at the Picture Shop, j. 0.

HIS BARN BURNED
FOR SECOND TIME
Children May Have Set Fire to
Orange Mans Property to
See the Fun.

Fire of mysterious origin yesterday
visited the barn on the property of Jo-
seph d. Holmes, of 80 High street, Or
ange, for the second time within a few
weeks. The police believe 1t was set
afire on both occasions. Yesterdays
fire and the previous one occurred at
the same time. The barn is practically
destroyed, but there was nothing in the
building, so the damage was confined
to the structure only. 1t is thought
children may have set the blaze just
to. see the tiremen's apparatus come
out. MI. Holmes is chairman of the
committee of fifty of the Oranges.
Charles Zimmerman. a driver in the
employ of Matthias Plum, drove his
wagon over a portion of the hose, and
on complaint of Chief Matthews, was

RENEW WAR ON
PHTH|SIS CAMP
Orange Residents Who Object to
Location Likely to Appeal
to the Courts.

Formal complaint having been made
to Prosecutor Mott, of Essex county,
against the location of the day camp
of the Anti-Tuberculosis League of the
Oranges in Central avenue, Orange,
near Essex avenue, on property owned
by former Councilman Charles A. Lind
sley, chairman of the day camp COM
mittee, the fight of the citizens of that
section who object to the camp has
now taken a new turn. Chief of Po-
lice George P. Washer, of Orange, to-
day asked the Orange Board of Health
who had jurisdiction over the case and
was informed by the health author
tiles that they were not justified in
ordering the camp to move.
Prosecutor Mott has informed the
Orange people who are engaged in a
determined fight to rid themselves OF
the camp that it is up to the Orange
authorities to handle the problem. The
establishment of the camp did not con-
stitute a crime or misdemeanor, and
no penalty is provided in the statutes
for those who establish so-called pest
houses"
Chief George p. Washer, of the Or
ange police, n Leader Joseph A.
Birkholz, of the Orange Common Coun-
Gil majority, had a conversation today
over the situation. Alderman .Birkholz
resides in the immediate vicinity of the
camp, and has been active with the
other residents, including Frank Win
ter, in working for the removal of the
camp.
Chief Washer told Mr.. Birkholz that
he did not believe there was any pos
sibility of relief save In civil law pro-
ceedings. City Counsel William A.
Lord, of Orange, who a given to the
authorities and Mr.. Mott the opinion
that the establishment of the camp is
in direct violation of State health laws,
mas been formally engaged as counsel
for the protestants against the camp,
and Is now awaiting a reply from Nor
man L. Ward. president of the Anti
tuberculosis League, to whom he sent
a letter asking the authorities of the
league to remove the camp to a more
suitable location.
1--WE have noSdesire to be unfair in
this NATTER said Alderman Birkholz
today. I'VE think hat the removal Of
the camp to a more open section would
be of benefit to the camp inhabitants
and would end an unpleasant situation.
We want the affair to be settled peace
ably"
That an injunction will be sought
next week to ave the camp removed is
the general belief. Mr.. Lord has de-
layed to move in the matter until he
hears from Mr.. Ward.
Mr.. Lindsey states that the inmate
of the camp are getting along well.
