HELD IN $4,000 BAIL.
Downs, Who Drew $14OO a Year, is
Unable to Find Security.

Baltimore. Md.-William F. Downs,
the young clerk in the Office of the
City Register, was placed under ar
rest, charged with embezzlement of
funds belonging to the city. Downs
had a hearing before Police Magis-
trate Johanssen, during which States
Attorney A. s. j. Owens said that the
amount of money taken from the city
would probably amount to 500, 600.
Downs is twenty-six years old and
has been twice married, his first wife
having died. He has been living in
a style far beyond the means of a
$~900-a-year clerk, which he was un-
til recently, when he was promoted to
a $1400 clerkship, much against his
will. His populations appear to trace
back to July 1, 1907. He has been
known widely as a lavish spender in
ways not usually approved. He kept
a couple of race horses, had a quar-
tet of prize fighters regularly in his
pay, spent much money on prize
fights and horse races. sporting trips
out of town and on women, and
dressed in expensive style. His home
is splendidly furnished.

ROGERS ROAD OPEN
FROM COAST TO MINES
Norfolk Celebrates Completion of
the Virginia Line.
MARK TWAIN AIDS JUBILEE
Record Loading Of Coal at the New
Pier of Virginian Line-It Has
a Capacity of More Than 10000
Tons Daily.

Norfolk, va Henry H. Rogers
Virginian Railway, extending from
Norfolk into the mountains of West
Virginia, a distance of 442 miles, has
been officially proclaimed completed
and ready for business here. Mr..
Rogers, who is the president of the
road as well as having furnished
most of the money and inspired the
building of it, was here to make the
announcement. With him were his
friend Mark Twain, to see that all
went we'll; his son, Henry H. Rogers,
Jr., and his son-in-law, Urban H.
Broughton. Here as guests of the
city and the Virginian Railway were
700 business men from along the line
of the Virginian.
OF course the centre of attraction
was Mr.. Rogers, and then everybody
wanted to see Mark Twain. Arriving
here from New York Mr.. Rogers and
his party were taken in automobiles
to the Lynn Haven Hotel, where they
remained until Mr.. Rogers, accom-
panied by Mark Twain, was conduct
ed to the Business Mems Association
to meet the citizens of Norfolk and
those who were here from along the
line of his railway.
Mr.. Rogers d~iscoursed freely
throughout the reception and shook
hands with all callers. Mark Twain
was in his best humor and made some
pleasing remarks.
When those here from along the
line of the Virginian arrived aboard
two special trains they were conduct
ed by various committees to hotels
and cafes for breakfast, after which
they were taken on an excursion
about the harbOr, an oyster roast be-
ing served aboard the steamer.
Shortly after Mr.. Rogers had an
nounced that the road was completed
and ready for business, the first
steamer, the M. C. Holm, Captain
Hagelberg, arrived at the great coal
pier of the road at Sewall's Point for
coal for her bunkers. Four hundred
tons were put aboard her by means
of the loading apparatus in use at the
pier in three-quarters of an hour.
This is a record for bunkering ships
on the Atlantic seaboard. The steam
er Everett arrived at the pier for a
cargo of 1900 tons of coal for Boston.
The road was built at a cost of
$40, 600. Mr.. Rogers put up
most of this money. What he did
not put up personally he got from his
friends. The coal pier at Sewall's
Point cost $4,000, 900. 1t is over
1000 feet long. 1t has a solid con-
crete foundation and a steel super
structure. 1t is estimated that 10000
tons of coal can be dumped over it
daily. Future Improvements of the
terminal of the road here contem-
plate an expenditure of $20,000,000.

Work of the Goat.

The goat, more than any other fac
tor, has assisted the rural inhabi-
tants of Asia Minor to destroy the
magnificent forests which once ex-
tended from Smyrna through to
Konia, the ancient capital Of Kara
mania. Not only have the peasants
and nomads destroyed the timber for
the sake of frewood, but they de-
stroyed it also in order that their
goats might obtain suitable pasture.
And the goats in their turn prevented
the new shoots ever after from replac-
ing the trees which had been cut
down.-Argonaut.

NEW SERUM SAVES BOY,
Receivers From Pneumonia After His
Eyes Are Fixed in Death.

st. Louis. Mo.-The restoration of
life to a boy, moribund from pneu-
monia that affected two-thirds of the
breathing capacity of his lungs, by
the administration of a new serum
for the cure of pneumonia is like a
modern miracle. The boys name is
Truman Pitcher. Five days after the
pneumonia became manifest DR.. J..
E. Buchanan, his physician, who had
been giving oxygen in large quanti-
ties to the boy, began to administer
a pneumococcic serum for the cure
of pneumonia.
At that time the boy was low and
it was believed he would not survive
the night. 1t was then that he ad-
ministered the full adult dose
twenty cubic centimetres-of pneu-
molitic serum. Slowly but surely he
came back from death.
