PUPS IN CAPTIVITY
Must Cut Tongue Before

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81
The only two seal pups that
have ever been raised on ar
tificial nourishment arrived
here last week in charge of
their foster mother Judson
Thurber. the big boatswain of
the revenue cutter Bear.
They are in their new quar-
tiers at the offices of the fish
commission. and are in fine
condition. SO is their keeper.
who has aroused the interest
of the whole scientific world
by the success of his expert
ment in raising the pups in
capitivity-SOmething that has
never been done before, and
was deemed impossible.
The pups were picked up
originally on the Pribyloff
islands, where their mothers
had been killed and where
they consequently would soon
have starved to death had it
not been for Thurber He
started them on condensed
milk and soon had them eat
ing fish, after he had discov-
cred the secret that they could
not eat anything until the
string under their tongues had
been cut.

One of the pups is male

the seal pup has to be taught

Boatswain Thurber was or
dered to bring his pets here so
that the scientific chaps at the
fish commission could see for
themselves the success of his
efforts. If the pups continue
to thrive under his treatment,
nurseries may be established
on the seal islands to take
care of the pups left to starve
after the killing of their moth
ers by pelagic sealers.

MATRIMONIAL COURSE IS
URGED FOR THE YOUNG

Eve have scientifically worked
out cards for the scoring of COWS,
pigs and chickens, but how about
scoring young men and women who
are candidates for marriage, in
stead of for prizes as perfect speci-
mems of a breed? What are the
correct standards of form and
symmetry of the body of physical
health, of knowledge as to the care
and instruction of infants? What
are the marks whereby a young
woman whose hand is sought in
marriage may know a good man
when she secs nm and those
whereby a young man may know a
good woman?
NO GUIDANCE FOR CHILDREN.
All these important matters are
left to chance and accident be-
cause we have been laboring I'M
der the foolish belief that love is
blind Young men fall in love with
things, such as big
hasket-shaped hat or a mincing
gait, and a young woman with

rings, party because they do not
know from intelligent instruction
what to look for as evidence of real
worth in the opposite sex.

RECEIVES BLOODY
EAR AND THREAT
PRESIDENT OF STEAMSHIP COM
PANY ALSO NOTIFIED THAT
HE is TO DIE.
CLIMAX TO GREAT LAKES STRIKE
Receipt of CHASTITY Menace Results
From Labor Troubles of Two
Years Standing on Boats
Police on Job.

Cleveland, GA bloody ear, sew
cred from the head of non-union
sailor, accompanied by death threat
ening letter, was received through the
mail from Buffalo by Harry Coulby,
president of the Pittsburg Steamship
Co. The receipt of the gruesome pack
age with the threatening letter has
brought to a climax the two years
war waged by the boat owners and op-
orators along the Great Lakes for the
open shop. Within short time after
the receipt of the packages the gov
ernment mail inspectors and secret
service men were notified. The police
of every city and town along the
lakes that can boast of rendezvous
for sailors were notified and by
nightfall were diligently shadowing
suspicious loiterers on the docks. AL
though working without a single clew
as to the identity of the men, the
United States officials are confident
that they will soon be able to make
arrests.
The ear belonged to Edward Frazer
and was cut off during an assault up
on him last Monday night on the
docks at Buffalo, N. Y. After obtain
ing possession of it the assailants fed
from the scene and escaped the po-
lice. Frazer was found later almost
in dying condition from the loss of
blood and was taken to a hospital.
In the same mail came letter ad-
dressed in the same handwriting to
Mr.. Coulby. 1t serves Coulby with
warning that he is marked by the
men who assaulted Frazer and that
his life will pay for the stand his COM
pany has taken in favor of the open
shop.
This bottle is a warning to you,
the letter says. In about three days
we will have your heart in the same
condition that this ear is."

WON'T HURT GOODROADs
NEW LAWS CHIEF PURPOSE is TO
EouALlZE RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Will Exercise Its Rights With
Care, Says Taft.

Beverly, Mass.-Legitimate railroad
interests need have no fear of
the rate adjusting power that has
been lodged with the interstate COM
merce commission under the new rail-
road law. In a long interview with
Chairman Martin A. Knapp of the
commission President Taft went ex-
haustively into the provisions of the
new law and later, in conversation
with callers, he earnestly pointed out
that there need be no apprehension
that the commission will run amuck
or that the new law will be used to
club indiscriminately all railroads
that propose an advance in rates.
The law, the president pointed out,
was not passed for the purpose of
lowering rates or even of holding all
rates where they were at the time of
the passage of the law, but rather for
the purpose of equalizing rates and
keeping them so far as possible in
tune with business conditions at all
times. Fear has been expressed that
the idea would go abroad that the
United States government was about
to embark upon campaign OF oppres-
sion against all railroads, which
would be disastrous to the railroad
business, with crop moving time ap-
preaching, through the avoidance of
American securities by foreign in
vestors. This is one of the things
that the president desires to avoid.
He has no sympathy with the Wall
street operators and is not in
fluenced by the fact that paper values
in Wall street have declined within
the past few days, but he is desirous
of reassuring investors who might be
scared off by the manipulation of
those who have been described as the
light fingered gentry" as we'll as the
business managers of the railroads,
that the latter are not to be clubbed,
that the power of suspension of in
creases in rates is not to be used on
all rates, but only those that appear
to be unreasonable and that the pro-
posed increases are only to be in
validated when they are proven to be
unreasonable.

NINETEEN PERISH
AS TRAINS CRASH
FREIGHT AND THE BIG FOUR
TWENTIETH CENTURY LINZ
TIED MEET HEADoN.
THIRTY-ONE PEOPLE ARE INJURED
misunderstanding of Orders Causes
One of the Worst Disasters In Sec
tion Around MiddIetown, o.
Trains Meet on Curve.

Midtown, o.-Nineteen persons
were killed outright, three proba-
bly, fatally hurt and at least %
others seriously injured in the head
on collision of freight train and the
Big Four Twentieth Century limited,
second section. on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton railroad here. OF
the killed, IS were passengers, the
other victim being a member of the
passenger train crew, Frank Golden,
whose home is believed to be in Cleve-
land. The trains were the Cincinnati
section of the Twentieth Century linn
tied, on the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi
cago & st. Louis railroad, and the
second section of a freight train on
the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton.
The latter was attempting to make
siding to give the passenger train
clear track when the flying limited,
travelling so miles an hour, flashed
around curve and crashed into it.
The Big Four train had been detoured
to avoid a blocked track on that road
at Genoa, few miles south of here,
caused by freight wreck earlier in
the day. In addition to it's regular
crew, it carried a pilot engineer Of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
road, who was practically in charge Of
the train. A misunderstanding Of or
ders caused the disaster, which was
one of the worst that this section of
the country ever has experienced.
Pilot Engineer George Wald had re-
ceived orders to wait at Post Town, a
siding station three miles north Of
this city, according to railroad Off
GERS. The freight train was to have
passed him there, but was late in pull
ing out of Middletown. Instead of the
seven minutes margin which Wald
thought he had, in which to reach
Middletown, the time was less than
five minutes. The first section of the
freight had taken the siding here, and
Conductor John Weaver, in charge of
the second section, tried to reach the
north end of the same siding. Be-
fore his train had cleared the switch
points, the passenger train rounded a
curve, screened by thickly wooded
lots on each side of the track. The
engine crews had time to jump and
their members escaped serious injury.
The crash, when the trains met, was
terrific.

Trade and crop reports are still

a few sections, as for instance the
northwest and parts of the south, the
crops have made satisfactory progress
in the direction of large yields. Un-
equal distribution of moisture-it be-
ing too dry in the spring wheat belt
and too wet in the Central Gulf states

good crop outlook. Winter wheat, cot.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at

Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning

the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers Of dis
