Who Would Brand
Animals.

IP NO DRoUTH THERE
New Plan is Said to be Painless But
Protest Has Been
Raised Against

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The new
plan OF the army authorities to brand
army horses with a tattoo mark inside
the upper lip is to prove the center
for storm of protest from humane
societies throughout the country
This became apparent before the
news of the army plan is two days
old
Agents of the Massachusetts Society

mails are quoted in press dispatches
as determined that such methods of
marking army animals shall not be
attempted in that state Officials of
the Washington society have also ex-
pressed the belief that the introduc-
tion of the new tattoo system would
be opposed.
The friends of the movement insist
that no injury comes to the animal
thus tatooed, nor does he suffer at
the moment of the operation 1t is be-
lieyed that officials of the Department
of Animal Industry of the Agricultur-
al department will be prepared to full
ly support the army authorities if the
new scheme meets opposition in the
states where army posts are located.
The army remount depots, at Fort
Reno, Okla. and Fort Keogh, Mont,
will bear the brunt of the criticism, If
criticism is to continue. The horses
purchased for the army are nov
marked on the hoof before being sent
to these two depots and the hoof
mark must be renewed within four
months. The new tattoo mark will
probably be tried first at these two
posts. on the animals held there to

sARAGOSSA SEA
Has Drlfted Thousands OF Miles and
Refused to Sink When Sail

Her.

WASHINGTON July is. - The
photographic office of the navy de-
partment has received an interesting
report OF the wanderings of the dere-
lict OF the Norwegian bark Crown,
which was abandoned by her crew in
mldocean last December.
The Grown left Nova Scotia early
last December for the east coast of
Brazil. She lost her rudder and
sails and filled with water. She was
abandoned December 26 last In mid
ocean near the eastern end of the
Saragossa sea. She was kept afloat
by her cargo of lumber. In three
months she had drifted about west
ward, and April % she was sighted in
latitude 26 degrees 19 minutes and
longitude ga degrees and "a minutes,
or about 3S5 miles south Of Bermuda.
Her average daily speed was about
ten miles. May last the crew OF the
derelict and made an Intellectual effort
to destroy her
The Crown has drifted about 1,l00
miles in a westward direction since
she was abandoned. The slow drift
is accounted for by navigators here
on the ground that part of the ocean
is free from strong winds and cur
rents. In it's westward course the
Grown drifted through the Saragossa
sea, which is characterized by an un-
usual amount OF seaweed. Judged by
the conditions at the point where the
derelict was last sighted, 1t is expect
ed that she will drift westward until
she strikes the gulf stream, when she
will move In a northerly direction. If
the derelict drifts into the steamship
path and becomes menace to navi-
cation 1t is likely that revenue cut.
ter will be sent to destroy her.

Secretary Knox will take prompt and

CENSUS FIGURES
FROM THE SOUTH
II is Expected that that Section VIII
Show Quite Large
Increase.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Republi-
can leaders are already working on a
plan to prevent increased representa-
tion in the house from the south by
reason of the new census which will
show many important changes.
1t is figured that the south without
Delaware and Maryland will show a
population of 29.ooO,00o. This would
give the south two more representa-.
tives than at present.
The republicans are worried over
Oklahoma, fearing that it's popula-
tion will have increased enough to
give 1t or 6 more representatives.

LONDON, July 18.-The search for
Dr. H. H. Crippen, the American who
is being hunted as the murderer OF
his wife, and Miss LIE Neve, who, 1t
Is said, accompanied him on his flight,
is still without result, and SO far as

that is likely to afford clew to the

father has given the press an open let
ter, appealing to his daughter to re-

police. He writes:

Mr.. Neve says 1t is practically GER
tain that his daughter is in France
She and Crippen, after they wero
married, spent quite time in Dieppe,
Calais and other French resorts, gen
orally staying at small, quiet hotels
out of the usual track of tourists. Mr..
Neve makes suggestion, which has
been made independently by other ac-
quaintances, that Crippen is masquer-
aiding as a woman. His gait and eff

Mr.. Neve, to make such makeup
easy for him.

that with the mustacse gone and with

of woman would be easy.

will be found that Crippen is passing
as Miss LIE Neve's mother.

parently let Crippen escape them is

that some explanation iudicially salts

WHY NO ACTION

by young girl of 16 In her rooms.
After the policeman had heard
the story a sergeant of police was
sent out there last Wednesday
evening.to whom the facts were
again shown, just as they were pre-
sented to the patrolman. Nothing
followed the visit of the sergeant.
On Thursday afternoon the young
girl again visited the house and re-
manned for some time.
Why the police should refuse to
take action In the case is not
known, unless it is case of police
favoritism. In some Of the lodging
houses of the city the police would
have asked but one tip before a gen
eral raid would have been made.
Second avenue is ont of the re-
stricted district and the people liv-
ing in that locality feel that in the
name of decency they are entitled
to some protection When a woman
who lives in the house tells the pc,
lice what is going on, and gives the
names Of other witnesses, and ther
nothing is done, it is time thai
