Kewanee, Ill, Oct. 29.-Believing
she would die unless snakes were in
her home, Mrs. Ada Packard has re-
ceived from New York, a boa con-
strictor IL feet long to be used as a
pet.
Mrs. Packard, who claims to have a
gift over reptiles, always has had a
fondness for serpents and when she
failed to rally from a recent surgical
operation satisfactorily she became
convinced that she would improve if
she could get a snake to fondle.
A poisonous copperhead was obtain
ed three weeks ago and it was be-
lieVed her health Immediately was
benefited. The snake became chilled,
however. and died after which Mrs.
Packard became i'll again.
Her husband objected to the COM
ing of the serpent but believing it was
case of life or death with his wife
ne consented to the order for another.
Mrs. Packard declared she noticed
great Improvement in her health al
ready. She had the snake placed in a
tub of warm water as the cold weather
was feared.
She says her gift has been notice
able since she was a child when
snakes crawled to her from all direc-

ternatiOnal speed trophy will pass out
of America to rest in English hands.
The pick of the French challengers
and American defenders are in the
hospital and the fastest time for the
course is Crahame-White's by a large
margin. Brookins of the Wright team
lost control of his machine 200 feet
up and shot to earth whirling end over
end at terrific speed. His machine is
a total wreck, and the Wrights are out
of the contest for good.
lie Blanc, the champion of the
French team, was tossed from his
course in a gust of wind, cut his ma
chine in two against a telegraph pole
and was hurled to the ground. Both
Brookins and LIE Blanc were rushed to
the field hospital, and a reassuring
statement as to their condition was
given out by the management.
Latham, in his 100-horsepower An
toinette. got such a fright when the
wind almost blew him into the crowd
that he quit precipitately in the ff-
teenth round.
The tips of his great wings came
not ten feet from the heads of the
people who lined the turn into the
far stretch.
AS the bucking aeroplane started to-
ward them a cry of terror went up,
men ran and women burrowed down
into the bodies of their automobiles. in
which they had been sitting, muf1ed
in furs.
Down With Crash.
Brookins banged down in front Of
the grandstand with crash that
could be heard a half mil away. AS
his biplane shot downward, the tail
lifted higher and higher in the air Un-
tily finally it swept around in a full
half circle and banged bottom up
wards on the turf. The crowd feared
that Brookins had been pinned under
meath his engine, but it was soon seen
that the motor had clung to its bed,
for the propeller was still churning
furiously, digging up bits of turf and
earth. which flew about the wreck in
a shower.
Brookins wormed his way out from
under the collapsed frame work and
staggered for about 20 feet holding his
head in his hands as if in terrible pain.
Then he tottered and fell. An automo-
bile was driven to his side. He was
picked up and rushed to the field hos
pital. There it was said later that he
had no broken bones and so far as can
be learned, no internal injuries.
lie Blanc has three ugly scratches
across his face and on the side of his
head. but aside from bruises he is not
otherwise injured and is able to hobble
about So great was lie Blanc's speed
driven by his Il cylinder 100 horse DOW
er motor, that when he struck he no.
only cut his r'C mes in two, but snapped
off the telegraph pole as if it had beer
a toothpick.

WRANGLE OVER SEALS
ENDED BY NAGEL
Skins From Uncle Sans
Animals Are Sent to Lon
don for Sale.

The decision Of Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel to send the furs OBJ
tanned from seals belonging 10 the
United States Government to London
instead of New York and S.. LOUIS.
brings to close a long controversy lie
tween the Secretary and William T.
Hornaday, superintendent Of the New
York zoo.
Ever since the law was passed by the
last Congress turning over the seals
Of the Fur Seal Islands. OF the coast
merce and Labor, American firms have
been attempting 70 have the furs kept
in the United States. Secretary Nagei
decided that il was too late 70 send the
furs to the United States.
The seal furs, 1900 in number, have
been shipped and are now on their way
to London. They will be sold at pub
lie auction in London TO the highest
bidders. The department is expecting
that over $500, 600 will be secured from
the sale Of the furs.
Superintendent Hornaday, of the New
York zoo. has always bitterly opposed
the killing Of the seals. When the bin
turning the seals OF the islands over
TO the Department OF Commerce and
Labor was UP before Congress he APP
peared, and stated that unless the
slaughter of the seals was stopped the
entire herd would be wiped out
A commission OF seal experts appoint
ed by Former Secretary StraUs and ap-
proved by Former President Roosevelt
had already reported that II was neces-
sary to kill some Of the male seals of
the herd in order to save the remain
der.
In it's report this commission showed
that a great number of the female seals
are killed each year by pOachers, and
that therefore the number of males al
ways is greater than the number OF fe-
males. The commission reported that
the males fight over the females and a
great number are killed. II therefore
advised that all but 200 OF the males
be killed each year.
Secretary Nagel followed the advice Of
the commission Of experts, but the at
tacks Of Supt. Hornaday continued. nc
even went so far as 70 accuse Secretary
Nagel OF misiEforming Congress on the
question.
1t was partly 10 settle the controversy
that Secretary Nagel took his recent triT
TO Alaska. During this trip he visited
the islands of St. Paul and St. George
on which most OF the seals live He
talked with experts who live in the Vi
cinity and consulted the inhabitants o
the islands.

suited that the department was follow.
