new RACE OF PYGMlES
FOUND BY EXPLORERS
Tribe of Little Men Discovered in
Mountains of Dutch
New Guinea.

LONDON, June 4.-The Times an
nounces that the British scientific ex-
petition to explore the Great Snow
mountains in Dutch New Guinea discov-
cred at an elevation Of 1000 feet tribe
of pygmy people, whose average height
is about four feet three inches and who
undoubtedly belong to that division of
the human race known as negritos.
Hitherto these people have only been
known to inhabit three widely separated
areas, viz, the Andaman Islands in the
Bay Of Bengal the northern portion of
the Malay peninsula. where they are
known as smanss, and certain areas in
the Philippine Islands, in particular the
northern island of Luzon.
The possible occurrence of the negri-
tos in the Paupan subregion has been
the subject of much discussion. and the
view that they didn't occur there has
been widely accepted by anthropologists.
The present discovery will account for
the presence OF various anamalous races
in the remoter parts Of the other Sunda
Islands.

the aim of both the Gallinger and the

commerce with Latin America and our

MANY ACTS OF VANDALISM

MlDDLETOWN, Conn, June full OF
the joy of living and other encouragers
OF enthusiasm, the freshman class at
Wesleyan University after its annual
banquet at the Old Lyme Inn returned
TO Middletown before sunrise Friday and
made extensive alterations in Main street
which is the Broadway of Middletown.
The Iight-heartad young fellows re-
moved wooden Indians from their places
in front of cigar stores and placed them
in the middle of the thoroughfare. They
fenced off the street at intervals with
fence which they removed from the Bap-
tisI Church. They laid disrespectful
hands on the revolutionary cannon balls
which were IN pyramids in front of the
public library and bowled with them in
the street.
Signs reading This Way to the Ferry
and Ten Miles TO New London which
they brought with them from Old Lyme,
twenty miles away, were placed on va
lious buildings. Four guns which were
taken from! a Spanish cruiser at San
td2o and which had ornamented the
soldiers monument, the pride of Middle
town, were taken down and scattered
about the street. Several windows were

accomplish the twofold object of creating

Furthermore. l hold that the acquisi-
ton of say 300 foreisn-built freight steam
ers for trades with this country would
stimulate American shipyards. For the
repairs to these vessels would furnish
more constant and more remunerative
employment than the building of a few
express mail steamers. There is more
profit in repair work than in competitive
construction and this very work would
in time enable the American shipbYilder
to successfully compete for the replacing
of these alien built vessels.
For the development of trade and the
regular carriage of mails | suggest the
payment of voyage money Subsidy, sub
vention or anything you choose to call
it, equal to the difference in cost of
operation under American laws and under
foreign conditions. This would, in my
opinion. solve the problem and eventually

Follow Trade Development.

In the first place, efficient mail and
passenger facilities follow and are the
necessary result of trade development,
and as trade is fostered always by slow
and cheap transportation governmental
support must necessarily be given first
to the freight carrier if the physical in
terchange OF commodities cannot be prof
itably carried on without it. An express
mail service will not meet the require
ments of such traffic either in volume or
cost of transportation. And it is not
until tramp steamer service gives way to
regular line freight carriers that fast
mail steamers become of supreme inn
portance or can be anywhere near self
sustaining.
Secondly, under our protective policy
Congress cannot consistently invite
American capital to make initial invest
ments in an unprotected field of conquest,
already dominated by alien capital. To
successfully create and sustain an Amer
lean merchant naval reserve, American
capital must be accorded the same gov
ernmental support that the most favored
infant industry ever enjoyed, otherwise
the fruits of ocean transportation will
never become an American actually.
Therefore, at the outset the American
capitalist must be permitted to buy his
equipment in the cheapest market and
enabled to operate the same at no
preate.' cost to hlmsei! than TO his for
eign competition. As We cannot control
foreign ocean commerce, federal laws
must lend sufficient aid to overcome the
disa bilities imposed in operating under
our present navigation laws. as to fore
castle space, food scale and any proposed
changes for conversion into transports,
and scale of wages necessary to make sea
life more attractive profession.

that the Prussian crown surrendered to

WHY He Needs Money.

The cost of restoring or repairing nu-
merous castles is said to be in part re-
sponbile for the royal need. But be-
yound these expenditures the emperor is
a generous supporter of the opera and
of the royal theaters of Berlin and Wies-
baden Castle, having fer some years
made up an annual deficit in the houses
totaling some $750,OC0.
He also maintains fifty-two town and
country residences, some of which he
mas not visited since the beginning of
his reign.

Complaint to Mayor.

When the town awokc and contem-
plated the transformed Main street
the burghers became so provoked that
they complained to Mayor Willard Clark
Fisher, who is also professor of eco
nomics in Wesleyan University. He had
worse news to tell than that which lie
heard. He said that the devastation in
Main street represented only part of the
frolic OF the mettlesome youths. From
that reliable authority, Constable Andy
McGaw of Old Lyme. the mayor had re-
ceived information that while the young
gentlemen of the freshman class were in
the constable's bailiwick Wednesday
night they had upheld all the freshman
traditions.
Although they did not set fire to the
church. as they did two years ago, they
did pretty well in other directions Most
of the movable property in the village
was moved. and on the way to Middle
town on the train they cut the bellcord
turned out the lights, broke windows and
accomplished other bits Of light and
pleasing comedy.

Constable Was Overawed.

The constable reported that he had
equipped himself with a shotgun and had
attended the party in his official capacity,
but had not pulled the trigger because of
his fear that his old gun would kick and
hurt his shoulder. There were one hun
dred freshmen iii the merry throng and
the constable was afraid. he said, that
there was not enough buckshot in the old
gun to go around and he did not want
to slight any OF the merrymakers. He
said he would be glad to meet the class
one member at time.
Mayor Fisher announced that, al
though he likes a good time as well as
nybody. he believes the line should be
drawn somewhere this side of rearrang-
ing the town in its entirety and he will
speak severely to tho comedians soon
as they get off the bromo-seltZer dict and
begin to partake again of solid food.

Hints FOR FARMERS


The first thing which the farmer
and future horse breeder must select
4 his brood mares These should be
selected primarily from the standpoint
pf their being able 70 do the work &C.
nuired Of them. II would be mistake
y select heavy draft mares for some
II the rough ain Or mountain farms
ana q greater mistake 70 try 70 do tue
work Oh comparatively level farms
with light mares. Horse power Il
cheaper than man power
Maternity rather than beauty should
also be kept in view The best looking
mare is seldom the best breeder The
brood mare should have a Foomyl
somewhat loose construction rather
than the compact closely knit form
which is more attractive to the eye
II Is a general rule Of breeding chat
compactness should be sought In the
male. size In the female. A partial ex-
ceptlon 20 this rule is 10 the produc.
lion Of draft horses on the farm. FIX
cesslpely heavy mares would be IN

mares are chosen which are not toe
large to be profitable workers. but
