Just emerged from the unusual expert
ence of sleeping six hours while sewed
up on the inside OF mules carcass.
Yesterday Brown and other bibulous
companions, after imbibing' much moon
shine whisky were vending their wobbly
WAYS nomeward down the country road.
The going was too heavy for Brown
and he collapsed by the roadside near
the carcass of 'Ol Hump Back" who
has been carrying the mail TO and from
Brasstown for 10. these many years, but
who left the government service several
hours before Brown and his companions
came along.
The practical jokers, seeing Brown
helpless. hastily transformed the mule
into a lower berth and slowed Brown
away stitching up the hide with strings
The sleeping man finally awoke and be-
gan yelling. After several pedestrians
had been badly frightened two men came
up and hearing shrieks cut the stitches
and let Brown out, cold, sober and bad

Brown is now on the water wagon,
but swears vengeance. He compared
mis- experience with Jonah's. but said the

The fire. which started at 2 o'clock,
was one of the most disastrous that the
local fire department had to battle with
for many years. At the time the fire
broke out high wind was blowing and
caused the flames to leap and swirl like
things of life. u When the, flames were
finally brought under control ten firms
had been burned out and eight large
buildings destroyed.

by the wind 1t continued to spread from

While the fire was at its height wall

a hatchway and fell two stories, break
ing several ribs and otherwise injuring
himself. He was the most seriously
hurt of any of the fremen.
Hardly had these two men been taken
to the hospital when an, iron electric
light pole, 200 feet from the apparent
danger zone of the fire, toppled over and
crushed a boy. He died on the way to

TAFT DEMANDS ACTION
ON HIS PET MEASURES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-There is
much discussion both at the White
House and the capitol over the outlook
for the administrators legislative pro-
gram. The president. in conference with
senators and representatives. has indi-
Gated his strong desire that as many as
possible of the measures that he recon-
mended in his annual message be
pressed through congress without delay
in view of the coming change of polit-
ical complexion of the house.
1t is in accordance with this policy,
which the president is still urging
through frequent conferences with lead
ers, that the appropriation bills have
been rushed unprecendentedly. No con-
illusions have been reached as to the or
der in which the program will be
brought up in congress, but the. regular
Republicans have warned the insurgent
members of their party that they must
accept the result If they put any OBJ
structions in the way of the proposed
Republican legislation. The mail sub
sidy the tariff commission plan for col
lating and assimilation tariff data, Pan
anna canal Notifications and tolls, and a
bill to regulate the issuing of inpunc-
tions in equity without notice in accord
ance with the best practice in vogue in
the United States courts, are all matters
upon which the president especially
wants action.

steel vaults, one above the other, in the
building OF the Metropolitan Fire Insur-
ance company The vaults are 10 by IL,
of massive construction and separated
by a solid concrete floor. How either
one of them caught fire is a puzzle in
itself. but how the fire could run from
one to the other.aif IL did, or why they
should break out at the same time, who'll

1t took four hours of hard work 10
batter down the doors and when
breach had been made il was found that
each vault Enclosed five smaller vaults
all locked with combination locks. These
subdivisions had been built with air
spaces at the rear through which the
flames had worked into each separate
compartment Not half OF them had
been broken open after six hours work.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 19.-Baron
Arthur de Groedel, of Budapest, who
has been visiting lumber manufacturing
plants and logging camps in the United
States for the purpose of investigating
American methods, announced last night
that he would recommend the use OF
American machinery and methods on
the estate of his father in Austria H I'M
gary, where 1900 men are employed in
the lumber industry.
American lumbermen are far ahead
of those of any other country in the
world in regard TO the methods used
in logging off land and the manufac-
ture of lumber, said Baron de Groedel.
"All of our work is done by hand and
we have had difficulty in keeping the
large number of. employees needed in the
operation of our mills. We plan to sub
stitute machinery for hand labor in our
mills and on our timber tracts"
