TO STUDY DANISH METHODS.
Rider Haggard Will Investigate
Small 0wnerships Of Land.
Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON. September q, 1910.
Rider Haggard is proceeding to Den
mark for the purpose of Investigating the
agricultural conditions obtaining in that
country, with special reference to the
Danish system of small ownership. He
has for many years past now made such
matters his special study. Many admir-
ers of his romances may be surprised TO
learn that I'm years to come his most con-
siderable contribution to literature Will
probab bly, be reckoned his Rural Eng
land" which good judges have not hest
tated to place side by side with Arthur
You.ig's Letters Of Farmer and other
agricultural classics.
Mr.. Haggard has played many parts in
his time. including even that of execu-
toner. This was in South Africa. when
he was acting as an exceedingly youthful
master OF the Transvaa high court. \
Zulu chief had been condemned 10 death
for murder and Mr.. Haggard had to see
the thing through. The executioner was
intoxicated the high sheriff was over
come with the scene and had to retire,
and it devolved on Mr.. Haggard accord
ingly. If not actually TO play the part of
Jack Ketch to insure by threats and en-
hortat tons that the sentence OF the law
was carried out. What chiefly struck
him. he recalls was the mperturbability
of the unfortunate Zulu, who never be
trayed from first to last the slightest emo

pending for the division dispatcher at
Angels, and the new superintendent held
aloof to see how 1t would be handled.
The passenger train was pulling in over
the summit switches when Bradford.
into the telegraph ONCE as il
haste were the last thing in the world
to be considered, asked for his clearance
card. got it and gave Williams the signal
to go.
Lidgerwood got up and went into the
car to consult the time table hanging in
the office compartment. Train POI had no
dead time at Crosswater; hence, if the
interval between trains of the
same class moving in the same direction
was to be preserved. the passenger would
have to be held.
The assumption that the passenger
train would be held aroused all the rail-
road martinet's fury in the new superfn-
killing on regular trains stood next to an
infringement of the rules providing for
the safety of life and property. His hand
was on the signal cord, when, CHANGING
to look back, he saw that the passenger
train had made only the momentary time
card stop at the summit station and was
coming on.
This turned the high crime into a mere
breach Of discipline, common enough
even on we'll managed railroads. when
the leading train can be trusted to in
crease the distance interval. But again
the martinez in Lidgerwood protested. 1t
was his theory that rules were made to
be observed, and his experience had
proved that little infractions paved the
way for great ones. In the present in
fere. 50 he drew a chair out in line with
one Of the rear observation windows and
sat down to mark the event.

IN FIGHT OVER CAPITAL.
Opposition to Pass Canberra as Aus
tralian Federal Seat.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


MELBOURNE. September /. 1919.
Serious internal dissensions have arisen
in the labor party owing to the action of
Mr.. Fishers commonwealth government in
forcing through the house Of representa-
tives with the aid of the opposition. vote
which irrevocably fixes Pass Canberra as
the site of the federal capital by spend
ing sum of S2JO.OOO thereon.
a large section Of laborites bitterly OPP
pose any outlay until the entire question
of the capital has been reopened The
Melbourne Age and the entire Victorian
press are eagerly assisting the revolt.
Three angry caucus meetings have been
held. and a motion has been tabled ex-
pressing the party's hope that Mr.. Fish
er's tactics will not be repeated. but this
has been ultimately withdrawn on the
understanding that the ministry will fully
consult the caucus before attempting to
influence the members on matters outside
the party program. or introducing ex-
penditure votes of this character.
The net effect Of the crisis is to firmly
re-establish the caucus control of the en-
tire machinery of the national govern
ment.
