Fox Fur Farm.

The problem of supplying the fu
ture generation with furs from wild
animals is being satisfactorily solved
by W. II. Whitcomb of Essex, who Is
conducting a fur farm and who finds
the raising of silver gray foxes a
profitable business He has now
well equipped plant for their breed
ing and about - foxes. The furs are
mostly sold in London and bring
good price.
The foxes are allowed to run in a
yard of about 40 square rods which
is enclosed with a high fence. A
strange thing about the fence is that
it extends nearly as far below the
ground as it does up in the air, for
the fox is cunning enough to try
every device for gaining his liberty
and spends good deal of his time
nights in burrowing in an effort to
get free.
The foxes are hardy and there Is
little trouble in keeping them alive
but the difficult part of the PROPOSE
tion Is in getting them to breed. If
handled correctly. they mate once a
year and the litter comprises from
three to five young foxes. Great care
must be taken with the feeding in Or
der to make the business. profitable.
II fed too much. the foxes become
fat and lazy and do not thrive. This
also affects the quality of the skin.
They will eat anything and, when
young. may be fed milk.
They are about the most difficult
animal to tame and when full grown
revert to the wild state. even al
though for five generations their an
ccstors have been in captivity. The
experiment of bringing them up with
kittens hase been repeatedly tried with
no satisfactory results and they have
to be watched continually to prevent
their escape. They will climb to the
hei light of 80 feet and guard has to
! be placed along the top of any fence
to prevent them from going over It,
| Mr.. Witcomb started in the bus
mess five years ago and procured the
foxes on Prince Edward Island. They
are killed about the first of January
AS the skin at that time Is in the
best condition The meat is of no use
for eating purposes as 1t is too tough.
They mate in the early autumn and
at that time are kept divided in pairs.
This Is thought TO be the only farm
OF the kind in the country.

Man Charged With Misap-
plication of Funds
SCAfHING ARRAIGNMENT
Evidence introduced to Show That
Loans We're Secured on Collateral
Which Was AiterWard Exchanged
For Less Valuable Securities-SOme
Queer Deals Uneartbed.

New York, April 27.-After a scath-
ing opening address by United States
District Attorney Wise the govern
ment began in earnest today the pro-
secution of its case against F. Angus
tus Henize. the Montana copper man,
who is charged with misapplication
of funds of the Mercantile NatiC al
Bank. of which he was the former
head and with over certification of
the checks of Otta Heinze G. Co.
Heinze's operations the prosecutor
referred to as "flim-ham" and buncO
games, while he charged that the
Mercantile National Bank was re-
reduced to the level of a gambling
institution. When counsel had ended
the government began the introduc-
ton of evidence. Important among
this was a letter of August l, 1907 20
X" by the defendant, and addressed
to the Mercantile National Bank as
follows:
Please deliver to bearer from col
lateral you are holding as securities
100 shares Louisville G. Nashville;
100 shares Southern Pcaific common:
100 Amalgamated Copper. and re-
ceive in exchange 1000 United Cop
per common"
The securities which the 1000
shares of United Copper replaced had
been left by Otto Heinze & Co., as a
part security for loan of $150,00o
on May "a, 1907
Testimony was given to show that
on May %. 1907, loan for sl50,00D
by the Mercantile National was Sc
cured by 100 shares United Copper
preferred, 800 United Copper COM
mon, 800 American Ice, 500 Southern
Pacific and 500 Union Pacific. and
various loan book entries We're read
to show how Otto Heinze & Co.. are
alleged to have obtained loans from
the bank on standard securities later
substituting therefor less valuable
copper stocks.
An entry of August 5. 1907. was ad
mitted after much objection on the
part of the defense. 1t showed that
100000 had been loaned to clerk
in the United Copper Company Off
ces and in turn made payable to the
Montana Ore Purchasing Company
one of the IieinZe concerns. This
loan. Mr.. Wise ought to show. had
crippled the banks legal reserve.

arena OF the National Athletic Club

the men. If anything. Langford had a
slight advantage, but draw would
have been fair decision

fought viciously, Ketchel playing for
the colored mans stomah, while the
Boston fighter used a straight left

ing blows which caught Ketchel flush
on the nose near the lose of the third

cool at all times.
AS the men rushed to clinca just
as the bell sounded for the close OF
the fourth round Ketchel drove a vic

the olored mans eyes closed and his
mouth opened. He was visibly affect
ed. but what might have proved a
damaging blot on his career was
avoided by the bell.
Ketchel pursued his usual tactics
OF forcing the fighting. There was
not moment during the battle that
he was not right on top of the Bos-

get set. This was the part of wis

Present.
Washington, y. c., April 26.-The
magnificent new marble palace of the
International Union of American Re-
within a stones throw of
the White House-was dedicated in
the name of universal peace today.
President Taft joined with Andrew
Carnegie, Secretary of State Knox,
Senator Root and Senor de Labarra
the Mexican ambassador, in pro-
phecies of peace among the twenty
one American republics and pedg-
ed themselves always to strive to
bring about that happy state. Mr..
Carnegie went so far as to express
the hope that some day Canada with
the consent of Great Britain, would
join the family of peaceful Ameri-
can republics.
With its splendid location at the
edge of Potomac Park and the White
House grounds, its imposing marble
facade. it's quaint Spanish patio and
elaborately furnished hall of the re-
publics, the new building, the gift OF
Mr.. Carnegie, won the admiration of
all the distinguished company that
passed within the bronze grilled por-
tails, both at the dedication exercises
this afternoon and the reception to-
night. at which President Taft and
Air. Carnegie headed the receiving
party.
II esteem it great honor to the
United States of America said the
President, at the dedicatory exer-
cises, that the other twenty Ameri-
can republics should decide that this
home of international union should
be here on this soil. AS the older
sister OF the other republics we take
great pride in that fact. AS the old
er sister. we also are anxious
that each member of the family
should know that We believe in alb
solute equality in every member of
the family
1T goes without saying he added.
in conclusion, that in the foreign
policy of the United States, its
greatest object is peace among the
American republics. We twenty-one
republics cannot afford to have any
two or three of us quarrelng. We
must stop. The organization and
work OF this bureau of the republics
Is doing much in that direction. But
Mr. Carnegie and | will never be
satisfied until nineteen of us can in
tervene by proper measures to sup
press quarrel between any two of

President Taft paid a personal
tribute to John Barrett OF Vermont
director of the bureau. declaring
that he was born for the work and
that he hoped he would live long
to carry it forward.
