Wild Dous of Asia,

The whole tribe of wild dogs, which in closely allied forms are to be found in the widest jungles and woods of Asia, from the Himalayas to Ceylon and from China to the Taurus-unless the golden wolves" of the Roman en- pire are now extinct in the forests of Asia Minor-show an individual and corporate courage which entities them to a high place among the most dar- ing of wild creatures. The "red dogs" to give them their most characteristic name, are neither large in size nor do they assemble in large packs. Those which have been from time to time measured and described seem to aver age some three feet in length from the nose to the root of the tail. The pack seldom numbers more than nine or ten, yet there is sufficient evidence that they are willing and able to destroy any creature that inhabits the jungle, except the adult elephant and perhaps the rhinoceros, creatures whose great size and leathery hide make them al- most invulnerable to such enemies as dogs.-London Spectator.

 FOR FLETCHER'S c ASTORIA
Psrty's Fate on One Vote.

Instances 2te common enough in elections when single vote turns the ecale, but for that vote to decide not only the fate of a candidate, but of a party as we'll, is rare. Yet a majori- ty of one in parliament, which may logically depend on majority of one in the country. has worked some of the most momentous results possible. The classical example is the act of union of 1799, certainly among the largest, most important and most remarkable changes ever accomplished by a legis- lative body. One hundred and six voted for it and 1O5 against. Then a majority of one carried the great re- form bill in 1882.
 Majorities only little bigger have again and again been responsible for farreaching consequences. A majori- ty of five threw out the Melbourne government in 1S39 By the same fig ure Lord John Russell's government was defeated in 1866. Gladstone went out of office in 1873 because he lacked three votes, and the public education act, one of the most important ever passed, was placed, on the statute book by a majority of two.-London Chronicle

WIRELESS MEN DENY CHARGES OF
 FRAUD
Special from United Press )

New York, June 16.-The charges made yesterday against the officers of the United Wireless Telegraph Com pany will be presented to the Grand Jury by District Attorney Wise. Much of the evidence is of documentary character and consists of letters sent Ito stockholders. It is expected that officers of the company declare that swhen their side is heard it will be tshown that there has been no fraud land that all statements by them were made in good faith. They take issue with the post office inspectors who ieales has been diverted from the de- relopment of the concern.
 In an official statement c. c. Gal braith declared today that the com rpany would continue its commercial Fbusiness at it's stations as usual. 'The Interests of our company are too wide spread for us to fear that insurmount- able obstacles will be put in the way sof our development. We are not re- Eponsfble for statements of stock sales men and cannot be hampered no mat ter what any of them may have said.''
 The post office inspectors claim that the assets of the concern will not ex- ceed $400, 900 with obligations running well into the millions. The three off cials of the company who were arrest ed, Christopher c. Wilson, president Samuel s. Bogart, vice-president and William W. Tompkins, president of the New York selling agency, furnished bail pending an examination before limited States Commissioner Shields on July 12. The principal charge against them is using the mails to defraud, for false representations about the value of United Wireless Telegraph Company stock.

TROLLEY STARTERS BANISHED FROM
 CENTER OF CITY
Police Alone to Regulate Traffic Under New System to Begin
 Tomorrow

In the working out of new scheme for solving he traffic problem at Fair field avenue and Main street, the board of police commissioners has de- cided to banish trolleymen from the busy corner and leave the control of all sorts of traffic in the hands of the traffic policemen.
 Beginning tomorrow morning the two policemen at the corner will be supplied with whistles with which they will be able to control traffic, adopting the same tactics as prevail in the traffic squad in New York city: The whistle is used by only one of the two patrolmen at the corner, so there may be no complaint of the conflict of authority that has been compia ined of heretofore.
 At the regular meeting of the com missioners last night the expected election of six new policemen and a detective sergeant was not made, be- cause the amendment to the police ordinance providing for the additional men has not yet been approved by the mayor.

CHIEF COWLES CONSIDERS
 BASEBALL POOLS GAMING

New Haven, June 16.-Chief Cowles has declared his attitude in regard to the baseball pools which have been agitated for the past couple of days and he says that steps have been taken by the police towards their elimina- fion. He declared they were contrary to law and that some days ago he had detailed men to visit the establish nents where pools were known to ex- ist and warn them that unless they were stopped prosecution would follow. He said he did not believe in most cases that the originators realized they were violating the law and he thought it only fair to warn them and will pursue this policy in each case he learns of. If they fail to heed the warnings arrests will be made and it is believed that the results will be con- yictions under the gaming laws.

 A feat achieved on Monday after
 noon by J. B. Sanford, proprietor of the store at the Center. brought to him alternate thrills of surprise and pride.
 From the store premises some one saw approaching through the air two crows, numbering along in a rather heavy flight in an effort to escape from pair of pursuing robins. The | alarm was given and Mir. Sanford brought out his gun on the bare chance that he might do some execution with it. The crows. closely pressed, a1ight-
 ed in the top of an elm tree near the
 store and as they did so MT. Sanford let drive. As a result of the single shot both crows came tumbling down,
 rnortally wounded, and the dead birds
 are now displayed in the store as a trophy of the proprietor's skill or luck. Mr.. Sanford says it was all luck. but despite this modest disclaimer it is
 evident that he feels just a little proud of his performance.

Why is the large bell in the tower of the house of parliament ill London called Big Ben? The average. London CT himself seems to have no idea how it got it's name. When the building was designed Sir Benjamin Hall had a great deal to do with carrying out the plans of the architects, being high commissioner of public works, and his coworkers appreciated the fact that to him the city of London was largely in debted So when the question came up ill parliament as to the name of the enormous bell that was to be hung in the tower a member shouted, Why not call it Big Ben?' This suggestion was received with much applause as we'll as with roars of laughter, for Sir Benjamin was a2 enormous man, both in height and girth, and had often been called Big Ben From that day on the bell whose peal every Londoner knows has been known ol1y as Big Ben.-Harper's Weekly

LIVES LOST AND TOWNS WASHED
 AWAY BY FLOOD

Belgrade, June 16-Reports received today from King Peter, who is per sonally conducting the relief work in the Morava valley, indicate that be- tween 400 and 800 persons have lost their lives and that at least twenty towns have suffered heavy loss besides incaluable damage in the rural dis tricts.
 Thousands of persons are still ma rooned by the flood and unless the work of relief is greatly expedited hundreds of these will be either drown ed Or die from starvation and expos ure.
 Owing to the washing out of most of the roads in the flooded district and the destruction of bridges the relief work is progressing slowly. Several of the smaller towns have been liter ally washed away. Wreckage of every conceivable sort is being carried down by the Morava river. The situation is the worst in ten years.
 Constantinopfe, June 16.-The town of Hassankoleh. north of Erzerum in Asia Minor. has been destroyed by a flood and 400 of it's inhabitants drown- ed, according to messages from there today. The flood is the worst in the history of that section.
 Budapest, June 16.-Eighty persons have been drowned in the overflowing of the Hungarian river Nera, accord ing to despatches received here today.
 Berlin, June 16.-The river Ammer is falling today and by tomorrow it is expected that the water bound svisi- tors at Oberammergau including sev- eral hundred Americans, will be able to leave. The theatre in which the Passion Play is presented was not injured by the flood and the produc- tion that was to have been given this week will probably be given next week.
 Conditions in the valley of the river Ahr are greatly improved. It is not believed the deaths will reach over 150. though the property loss will be far heavier than at first thought.
 Berne, June 16.-All the lowlands of western Switzerland are now sub merged. The towns of Adorf, Zurich, Lucerne, Stang and Aaru are par tfally under water and a number of buildings have collapsed. A factory at Aldorf collapsed, killing Il em- ployes. mostly children.
 Landslides are reported in many places. though the extent of damage resulting from these has not been as- certained.
