NOVEL METHOD OF MARKING HORSES.
; United States Army Suggests Tattooins the
Number on the Lip.

society for action, because 1t would
be necessary that we know how much
pain is inflicted upon the animals
when, they are subjected to such
marking, and what results are
achieved by it..
Discussing the subject, DR.. A. D.
Melvin. chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Department of Agri-
culture, said that the method of tat
tooing letters, numbers and other de-
signs inside the upper lips of horses is
one of the plans being considered to
secure permanent marking of such
animals.
"A system of this sort is now being
followed in the marking of English
army horses" DR.. Melvin continued,
and l understand. it is considered a
decided success. A similar scheme is
used in this country for marking reg
istered cattle, only with cows and
steers the tattooing is done in the
ear"
DR.. Melvin explained that the tat
tooing need not be very painful to the
animal because it can easily be done
with a pincer-like punch, on which all
the needles are mixed at once and the
mark placed in the lip with one oper-
alton.

Washington, D. Captain Cas-
par H. Conrad, of the Quartermaster's
department Of the army, has suggest
ed new method of marking horses
in order to enable the War Depart
ment to keep record of them. For
several years the hoofs of the animals
have been numbered This method,
however, has not been satisfactory be-
cause of the fact that the number Of
ten wears off the hoof and is obliter-
ated in other ways. Captain Conrad s
scheme is to tattoo the number on the
inside of the animals lip. This sys-
tenn is in practice in the Quartermas-
ter's department of the army of Great
Britain.
1t is probable, however, that the
humane societies of the country will
raise objections to the proposed plan
of tattooing numbers on the lips of
army horses. John P. Heap, secretary
of the local humane society, had this
comment to make on the subject:
II cannot speak for the executive
committee and / cannot reach them
at this season to learn their views, but
it is my belief that the members
would disapprove any such system as
this. I would like to have data on
the subject before submitting it to the

Long serpentine Wharf.

One of the longest wharves in the
world, almost mile long, or to be
exact, 400 feet, is at Port Los An
geles. Cal. 1t extends into the Pa
cific in a long serpentine curve.
The reason for this construction is
that it offers better resistance to the
strong currents and the buffetings of
the waves than if it were perfectly
straight. Until the nearby harbor
of San Pedro was developed by the
Federal Government the big wharf at
Port Los Angeles was very busy
place, but of late is comparatively
seldom used except by the Japanese
fishermen, who have formed a colony
along the adjacent beach. Scientific

Washington, D. C.-The total num-

253 were passengers, as against 381
passengers killed the previous year;
4944 were trespassers on the road,
and the remaining 1925 killed were
railway employees.
To passengers the greatest cause of
Injury seems to have been derailment
or collisions. In this way So passen-

In the whole year, the report states,
passenger was killed for every
3,523,606 carried, while the. injured
averaged 1 to every S6.458 carried.
The indications are that railroad ira

the installation of improved safety
devices.

.GOMPERS CASE SETTLEMENT
Agreement Between Labor Lead
ers and Bucks Stove Company.
United States Supreme Court VIII De-
eide Contempt Cases Despite
the Peace Pact.

Cincinnati, Ohio. - Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, announced here that
the Bucks Stove and Range Company,
of st. Louis, has agreed to abandon
it's open shop policy and hereafter to
employ none but union labor.
Representatives of the Bucks Stove
and Range Company, of st. Louis;
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation Of Labor, and representa-
tives Of the several unions having
workmen at that company's plant,
reached an agreement on the case
which was up in the United States
Court at Washington few months
ago, and which resulted In the sem
tence to jail of President Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison
for contempt.
William H Cribben and Thomas r..
Hogan represented the company, Pres
ident Gompers the federation, and
Joseph Valentine, John Frey, T. M.
DAILY, Charles. R. Atherton. Frank
Grimshaw, J H. fKaefer and George
Bechtold for the four unions, which
have been in dispute with the stove
concern.
BY the terms of the agreement en-
tered into here the union men say
that their representatives will go to
st. Louis to confer with the employers
of their men within thirty days, and
that then the hours of labor, wages
and conditions of employment of the
laborers will be considered.
The agreements entered into at that
time shall become effective ninety
days after the date of their being
signed. The third specifies that the
labor organizations shall make known
and publicly declare that all contro-
versies are at an end with the Bucks
Stove and Range Company
The Bucks Stove and Range Com
pany, through it's representatives at
this conference, ''agree to withdraw
its attorneys from any case now pend
ing in the courts which has grown out
of the dispute between the American
Federation of Labor and any of its
affiliated organizattons on the one
hands and the Bucks Stove and Range
Company on the other, and that the
said company will not bring any pro-
ceedings in the courts against any in
diyidual or organizations growing out
of past controversies between said
company and organized labor"
Mr. Gompers said here that this
agreement does not alter the case
against him in the courts, and that
these cases are now before the SUI
preme Court. of the United States.
The only way this alters the case is
that no attorneys for the company
shall have anything to say regarding
the final disposition of that litigation.
