LECTURES ON SOUTH AMERICA
DR.. Charles w, Currier Addresses
Large Audience.

Dr. Charles Warren Currier lectured on
..Wanderings in South America" last
night before a large audience at Knights
of Columbus Hall. He praised President
Taft's attitude in advocating international
peace and condemned Italy's course in
waging war against Turkey.
He deplored the fact that after Presi-
dent Taft's strong stand for international
peace Italy and Turkey should be at war.
This war is not conducted by Italy
for principle but for greed he said.

Large Number of Birds.
Enormous Guinea Pigs.

Two fine specimens of the Patagonian
cavy are on exhibition, having come with
the rest of the animals. They are about
two feet long and look like enormous
guinea pigs-which is exactly what they
are. A blue heron came with the birds,
but the far-famed Jabiru stork did not
appear DIR. Baker said this morning he
had not heard what became of the stork,
and that he supposed 1t died while on the
way to this country.

Protection Is Needed.

In the only practical use that has been
made of the aeroplane in the American
army. operating on the Mexican border.
the country was very open and it was
possible to fly high without much pro-
lection and get the military information
desired The same has been. true of the
Italian army operations in North Africa
In this country, however. If the aeroplane
is to be used the year round it is felt
that some protection must be given the
operator.
AS the biplane is the accepted type OF
American machine, the installation OF a
protective body will necessitate radi.
cal change in the appearance Of the ma
chine This. however, is only a question
mechanics and, with transparent wind
shield body and a transparent observation
floor, it Is felt that a much faster and
more comfortable machine can be devel-
oped.

SEEK WIND GUARD
| FOR AERO OPERATORS
War Department Plans Series
of Experiments in the
Near Future.

In view of the results so far obtained
with aeroplanes in the army. the War
Department intends next to experiment
with some form of wind and weather
protection for the operator. This Is
matter that has received considerable
attention abroad. where there have been
various schemes mostly makeshffts. used
for the protection of aeroplane operators
on long and high flights.
Some of the military machines used
abroad, like the Breuget. the Dunno and
some of the Bleriot models. have what Is
referred to as stream line" bodies. These
are more than anything else like an Es-
quimaux kyak and partially protect the
operator in a cockpit. 1t has been found
also that they greatly lessen the wind
resistance and add to the speed. Much
of the success Of the fast Newport ma
chine is said to be due to the design OF
the body.

RARE BIRDS AND BEASTS
RECEIVED AT ZOO PARK
Collection From Buenos Aires
includes Quartet of ''Crest-
ed ScreamerS."

Ten large cases OF strengthening birds
and beasts were hauled into the Zoolog-
ical Park yesterday afternoon. this addi-
ton to the population being the ship
ment which had been expected for sew
eral days from Buenos Aires. The ami
mails came on the steamer Varisa,
which locked in New York late Satur-
day.
Large Number Of Birds.
The collection includes a large number
of South American birds, none of which
is of any special note except quartet of
crested screamers.'' These are birds
about as tall as a turkey and with a
body about the size of Plymouth Rock
rooster. There are no other birds which
can be likened to these ScreamerS, and
they are said to have no near relatives.
When at home they prefer marshy
stretches for their habitation, and eat
vegetables exclusively.
Two tapirs which have attained about
two-thirds of their growth, came on the
Varisa. One of the animals had so tight
a packing case to travel in that he wore
considerable hair off. However, the
Misunderstanding process is now going on,
DR.. Baker superintendent, having order
ed remedial treatment.

HORSE EXPERIENCES
UNUSUAL ACCIDENT
Falls to Pavement and Slides
Ten Feet Without Receiving
Any Injury,

Slipping on the ice and sliding fully
10 feet along the pavement without a
single injury was the strange expert
ence which befell one of the Wells
Fargo Express company horses this
morning at O'Clock.
The wagon was rounding the corner
of Seventeenth street and Third ave-
nue. and the horse had just started
east when suddenly its hind feet shot
out from under it, throwing it in
heap to the pavement, where it slid
for distance of 10 feet. People near
by rushed over expecting the animal
had at least broken a leg. or was other
wise seriously injured, but the horse
them all by struggling to its
feet and upon examination hardly
scratch could be found.

TORN BILL BRINGS

J. s. Leath Finds His Business Is
Booming Since Unique Bird
Incident Occurred.

J. S. Leath the insurance man
whose unique experience of having
a bird bring a fragment Of a dollar
bill into his room one morning about
a month ago was related in these
columns, is not prepared to credit
that occurrence entirely with the
good fortune which has since befal-
len him, but he does know that
since that happening his luck has
changed. On the very morning fol-
lowing the action of the bird, man
appeared and requested a trial as a
solicitor and he was taken on. That
man has in the past month written
up a most unusual number of poll
icies and Mr.. Leath's business is very
much on the boom. He carries the
fragment Of the lucky dollar bill
about with him and says he will

He Is Killed.

While carrying a trunk across the
street at the corner of Third avenue
and Eighteenth street last night in
company with Charles Slater, Robert
Hoffman, 1924 Seventeenth street,
slipped on the icy pavement, falling
on his back and striking his head on
the edge of the car track with great
force. He lay there helpless and ap-
parently dazed, with blood streaming
down the back of his head. Passers-
by rushed to his assistance and he was
taken to DR.. Alfred Stocker's office in
the Safety building, where his injuries
were attended to.
WAS THOUGHT DEAD.
Hoffman and his companion had just
reached the west bound car track
when the accident occurred. At the
sight of the man lying stretched across
the car track motionless many people
rushed over. thinking he was dead.
There was a large cash cut in Hoff-
mans head, but his injuries are not
serious.

low price and think the shapes are
not good. The low prices are made

BEAL'S CHARGES
WITHOUT GROUND
Commissioner Hart Completes
Investigation and Exoner-
ates officer Pearson.
ACTED WITHIN HIS RIGHTS
Head of Moline Board Produces No
Evidence TO Corroborate Claims
Against Policeman.

Omcer Sidney Pearson, Rock Island
police officer, has been exonerated Of
any blame in the matter OF complaint
against him by Dr. =. NJ. Beal, presi-
dent of the school board of Moline high
school, who had a close call from be-
ing escorted on the football field at
the annual Rock Island-Moline grid
iron game last Saturday afternoon
Commissioner Archie Hart, who con-
Quoted a thorough investigation fol-
lowing the complaint, completed his
work last night and today Is compiling
a complete report Of his findings.
Everything, he says, favored the off,
Ger, and so he holds him blameless for
his action.
BEAL WITNESS HEARD.
Last night the only witness that DR..
A. NJ. Beal could produce. a servant
in the employ Of his nephew's mother,
Mrs. Bennett, was given an opportun-
ity to give her testimony. She had
seen only part of the affair, but even
then her statement was in favor Of
the officer. She did hear the officer
tell the doctor that IF you were a
younger man / would bat your head
off," and maintains that aside from
the slang expression used in the state
ment, no profanity was employed. de-
spite the fact that that was one Of the
complainant's allegations. Statements
of Rock Island witnesses favored the
police officer and 30 without allowing
his interests in his own employ to in
terfere, the local commission has re-
ported his finding.
CARLSON KEEPS CLEAR
In order that there should be no
question as to the fairness of the dis
posal OF the case, Commissioner Hart
called on Mayor Carlson OF Moline
yesterday and asked him TO accom-
pany him In the investigation SO that
he could give both sides OF it to the
papers and that there would be no
question as TO its fairness. The mayor
of Moline refused to enter into the
controversy, saying that he was will
ing TO abide by the decision of the
Rock Island official. Should there be
any further question as to the action
of the officer, the witnesses who have
been examined thus far are willing to
appear in his behalf
MATTER PERSONAL ONE.
AS was surmised at the time the
Moline board severed relations with
Rock Island, personal feelings of DR..
Beal played a prominent part. The
reason given for the severance was
the riot that occurred in Moline, but
below Is what DR.. II. S. Bennett,
nephew of DIR. Beal. and also a mem
