PAIR. OF DEEP
WATER SAILORS
WRECKED HERE
Call the Longshoremen
"Beachcombers" and the
Battle Begins
Land In Jail After Many
Adventures Upon the
Shoals Of Bridgeport.

John Mccarthy and Thomas c.
Smith, both deep water sailors, have
encountered many tough voyage;
Smith was wrecked Off the coast of
New London less than month ago
but neither has experienced such a
storm cruise as the two had on dry
land yesterday. Today both are
lodged in the county Jail, whittier
Skipper Jack McGirr shanghaied
them in the police patrol this morn
ing after Judge Foster sentenced Nc
Carthy to be confined in Jail for 80
and costs.
Mccarthy and Smith became ac-
quainted at Liverpool a couple of
years ago. They met for the first
time since. in WateR street, yesterday.
They repaired to Lynch's saloon,
tune with numerous libations. The
saloon is rendezvous for longshore-
men, to whom Smith had the mis-
fortune to refer as "beachcomb bers."
Just what happened, neither can tell,
but the two picked themselves up in
hazy recollections Of flying fists, feet,
billiard cues, and the like.
Streaming with blood from big
cash in his forehead, Smith tackled
through side streets for the emer-
gency hospital, piloted by youth
who volunteered to show him the
way. DR.. Krause had not completed
drawing his wound together when
Mccarthy came in with unsteady
steps He had a cash on the back of
the head, and number of bruises
and welts.
When the two had been repaired,
they set out in the rain to find a lodg-
80
anchor over night. Rain was falling
and the chilly air penetrated to Nc
Carthy's marrow. He complained bit
terly Of his hard luck. To show what
a good pal he was, Smith stripped off
his coat and placed it on Mccarthy
But when the two reached the water
front again, Smith thought better of
his geAerosity and demanded the re-
turn Of his coat The twain were
about to issue proclan1ations of bel
ligerency when Patrolman Cody took
both into custody, Charging them with

The evidence in the charge brought
by Walter H. and Ollie Ouinby was
completed this afternoon shortly after

the week of Feb. 81.
Mrs. Quinby was the first witness
called this morning. She reitera ted
considerable of the testimony given

Fallon then took the stand in His
own behalf. He stated that when
Qu1nby and Mclean were arrested he
was retained as their counsel. The
two were bound over from the citv TO

superior court took up the greater
part or three days. In the trial he

case very well, which I in turn told
Qulnby. Fallon denied that Ouinbv

that when $500 was paid over to him

GIRL PARTLY
TO BLAME FOR
HER ACCIDENT
Took Part in Tormenting of
Paul Meik by Throwing
SnoWballS
Angry Peddler Hurled Bot
tie Which Fractured Her
Skull She Will Recover.

Veronica Walider. the eight years
old girl of 405 Spruce street, in St
vincent's hospital suffering from frac-
tured skull, was not without blame
in the events leading up to her dan
gerous mishap. While she was stand
ing apart from the crowd of youths
snowballing Paul Meik, when the lat
ter hurled a bottle that inflicted her
injury, she had been an active partici-
pant, according to the information
gathered by the police, in the affray
just before the bottle was thrown:
Veronica is likely to recover. She
passed a comfortable night, and this
morning displayed such convincing
signs of strength and vitality that her
physicians are hopeful that she will
pull through, despite the ugly hole
torn in her skull by the butt Of the
bottle.
Ten of the boys, ranging in age
from 10 to Is years, were marshaled
before Captain Arnold in the detec-
tive bureau last night. They made
no effort to conceal the part they
played in the snowballing. Then ad-
mitted, too, that they used old shoes,
tin cans, and other missiles on Meik
as he trudged homeward with his
full Of drift wood.
Veronica, who lives upstairs over
Meik's family at 405 Spruce street.
was in the street with the boys, ac-
cording to their statement. and she
rolled a number of snowballs for the
boys, and then, running upstairs to
her own home, tossed big lump Of
snow down upon Meik.
Meik was pursued into his cellar,
the boys said, and when he emerged,
one of the boys, julius Lesnick, SIT
Wordin avenue, hit him in the side
with an old shoe. About the same
time Jules Kulay of 27 Cherry street.
flung a can at Meik. 1t was then
that Meik seized the bottle, rushed in
to the street and threw it wildly,
when it struck the little girl.
All ten boys appeared deeply peni-
tent. Their names and addresses
were registered at police headquart-
ers, and then they were permitted to
go home with the understanding that
they must appear in the city court on
to testify, and If the
authorities wish it, stana
trial for the part, they played IN the
affair.

Annexation Issue
In Next Presidential
Campaign, Fears London
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
London Feb. 1S-"The sentiment for
annexation is practically unanimous in
this country
This declaration is made in a spe-
cial interview cabled to the Express
by CONGRESSMAN W. s.. Bennett, whose
Canadian annexation, resolution in the
House, yesterday, was acted upon ad-
versely by the Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
"The feeling has been crystalized, -
continues the interview, "by the reci-
material advantage to Canada without
corresponding advantages to the Uni
ted States unless there is to be an
ultimate compensation in annexation.
"The proposition will be pressed
vigorously and may be an issue in the
next Presidential campaign. Canada
is in a backward state Of agricultural
development because she lacks home
market of her own and is dependent
on a distant English market. The ad
vantages of the American market will
develop the agriculture of Canada at
the expense of the retarding Ameri-
can agriculture.
''The logic of these great truths
driven home, as it will be by the ex-
actions of Canadian competition with
our farmers and by the exclusion Of
our manufacturers from Canada by
the preferential tariff in favor Of Eng
lish manufacturers, will add to the in
tensity Of the present widespread SEN
timent in favor of annexation toward
the north and may well cause fear in
the hearts of moderate men lest it
may push beyond the restraints Of
peaceful diplomacy.
eve are a nation of ninety millions
and the cyclonic force of such a dem
ocracy is not within the formulas OF
ordinary historic measurement.
The Express insists that Bennet's
statement means, that annexation is
the ultimate outcome of reciprocity. 1t
declares that the fact that Bennett
alone supported his resolution in COM
mittee does not mean that the other
members were opposed but that they
merely yielded to President Taft's i'm
portunings By killing the resolution,
the Express says. the committee sim
ply stifled the ultimate outcome until
the reciprocity is adopted.
Most of the other morning papers
drop the subject, today, after record
ing the fact Of the defeat of Bennet's
resolution.

Oddities of Cecil Rhodes.

He possessed few intimate friends,
and not even to all of them did he dis
close his hand. Mere acquaintance
disliked his moody silences, varied
with fits of rather boisterous fun.
They considered him exclusive, mo-
rose, rough and overbearing. And it
must be admitted that he was a good
hater, violent when thwarted and at
times blunt to the point of rudeness.
1t is difficult to be sufficiently uncon-
ventlonal to shock mining camp, but
he shocked it. In dress he was almost
disreputable. He seldom took pains to
ingratiate himself with any one, and
a man who too openly scorns his fell
lows must expect to suffer social o.
tracism and to have his character ira
duced. 1t would be idle to deny that
for time there were unfavorable ru-
mors in circulation regarding him or
that he was in many circles unpop-
ular. But. like Gallo, he cared for
none of those things."-Sir Lewis Mich

LOCUST Are DUE
DURING YEAR
State Entomologist Announces That
The 13-Year Variety Are
Coming.

The seventeenyear locust, will visit
this section of the country within the
next two or three months, according
to predictions of noted entomologist
of the State University. The locusts
will appear first in the eastern part of
the state, the latter part or the first
days of June.
Circular No. 1872, bureau of entomol-
ogy, conveys the information that 1911
is locust year. THE important, broods
of the periodical clicade will appear"
it is said, this year. One of those
belongs to the 17-year race and ex-
tends from New York southwark into
North Carolina, in general lying east of
the Allegheny Mountains. The other
is one of the largest brood of the
southern, or 13-year, race and covers
the lower half of the Mississippi Val
ley This definition explains con-
fusion growing out of the common
opinion of only one species of these
long period locusts. AS one requires
IL and one II years for incubation
the appearance of both in one year is
rare. The clicade, or locust circular
concludes as follows:
When 1t appears in great numbers it
naturally causes considerable alarm
and arouses fears for the safety of
shade trees and orchards. The actual
damage, however. is usually slight, ex-
cept in the case of newly planted orch
ards, and even here, by vigorous prun-
ing back after the clicade has disap-
peared, much of the injury caused by
the eggs punctured can be obviated.
Ordinary repellent substances, such
as kerosene emulsion of carbolic acid
solution, seem to have very little ef-
feet in preventing the opposition of
these insects. Some more recent ex-
periences, however, indicates that
trees thoroughly sprayed with Bor-
deaux mixture or lime wash are apt
TO be avoided by the clicade, especially
II there are other trees or woods in
the neighborhood on which they can
oviposit. The most reliable means of
protecting nurseries and young orch
ards is by collecting the insects in
Dogs or umbrellas from the trees in
early morning or late evening, when
they are somewhat torpid. Such col
lections should be undertaken at the
first appearance of the clicade and
repeated each day.
