SHAKESPEARAN EXPERT
ARRESTED AS DISORDERLY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Magistrate
House, in the night court early today,
recognized a prisoner who had been
arraigned before him as a man who
had graduated from Dublin University
with high honors many years ago and
had for a long time been considered a
British authority on S-hakespearian
literature. The prisoner, Owen B. Nc
Guinness, vas charged with disorderly
conduct. McGuinness, the magistrate
said, had been brought to poverty and
restitution by dissipation.
This defendant said the magis-
trate. had one OF the brightest futures
of any man I ever knew. He had in
nuential friends and held an exalted
position, but after he came to America
the temptations that confronted him
were too strong" McGuinness wept as
the magistrate spoke and thanked the
court with a Shakespearean quotation
as he WAS granted his freedom.

ORDER READY TO
co OUT FOR BIC
RAILROAD STRIKE
Hartman Officials Confident,
However, There Will Be
No Trouble.

CHICAGO. Sept. 29.-Although orders
i%nstructing $4,000 employees of the me-
chanical departments on the Hartman
railroads, including the Illinois Cen
tIal, to strike at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
are ready for transmission. there Will
be no strike, according TO officers of
the railroads.
The belief of the railroad managers
that the men would not strike is based
on the fact that thousands of railroad
men are already idle as a result of re-
trenchment by the Hartman roads.
The strike is threatened because the
railroads yesterday for the third time
fatty refused to recognize the fedora
ton of shop employees in the manner
h a they now deal with the individual
unions.

STUDYING LEGALITY OF
SOVEREIGNTY OF AIR.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Dr. H. d.
Hazelton. an American professor of law
at Cambridge University. who is now in
New York on leave of absence. is de-
voting his energies to a study of the
legal phases of aviation. He believes
that a code of laws for the air will be
developed within the next few years.
Some of his views on this subject are
given in an interview published mere
today.
"A chief point Of discourse he says,
lis as to whether the air is free;
whether eacn State has the right of
sovereignty to the air space above the
territory and its waters. or whether
the air space should be open to all
countries. Everyone admits that the
air above the high seas should be free.
My own view is strongly in favor of
sovereignty. Each State could con
tract with other States as 1t sees best
in regard to the occupation of it's local
atmosphere"

The electric skate was brought in by

CLOUDBURST SWAMPS
CITY OF BURLINGTON, Ia.

BURLINGTON, Ia. Sept. 2s.-Bur-
lington was visited with a %cloudburst
last night which swamped the city,
than two hours. The streets were run
ming rivers. The water rose to five feet
IL an iron works, and the lower floor
Of of the hotels was several inches
deep in water.

business phones and $1.50 for residences,
A cut TO $3.50 and $1.25 was asked. The
company finally agreed to cut off ten
cents. The hello trust stalled and
stalled, hoping to wear out the mayor
and Council. Then it sprang a new
card by flourishing an old American
Bell franchise, running twenty-five
years, and claimed that it had a right
to operate under it. The Council
showed that the Bell had never eXer-
cised its privilege and the franchise
was void The court sustained the
city.
Then came the custer. Moeller wasn't
to be Influenced" neither was the
Council.
The Cumberland didn't have a leg to
stand on. so the city declared the con-
Germ a nuisance, that its poles were
in the way, that the wires must come
down and the whole outfit be removed.
The moving is being rushed and Mt.
Vernon will use an independent line.

NOVEL BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
Ornamental Record Kept by Family
With the Aid of Salt Bottles.
From the Strand.

From the Strand.
Since the old age pensions act has been
in operation In England there has been q
great search for birth certificates in order
to enable those entitled to it's benefits to
claim their pensions.
AS the registration of births more than
seventy years ago was not carried out as
now, there has been difficulty in many
cases in proving the age of the applicants,
and in one instance at least certificate
of an exceedingly novel character was
presented. At any rate the local PEN
sions officer said he had never come
across one like it, and he was quite pre-
pared to take 1t as proof OF the age or
the applicant.
When n child was born in this particular
family a clear glass bottle was procured
and partly filled with salt. then the letters
and figures forming the names OF the
child and date of birth We're cut out OF
newspaper and placed inside the bottle.
being put in their correct position with
piece of wire, and then more salt was
carefully added to keep them in place
Sprays of flowers and other ornamental
tastefully arranged around the inside of
the bottle, and then the whole was tightly
packed with salt and corked and sealed
1t was then placed in a prominent posi-
ton on the dresser or in a corner cup
board, where it has been for more than
seventy years. The white salt shows up
the letters and ornaments in relief and
the whole effect is novel and pleasing
