IRON JAW
ON THIS
FELLOW

How would you like to be hit in the
jaw by sixteen pound sledge hammer
and be able to walk home?
This is what happened early today
to Piney Funk. one of the husky roll
lers in the eighteen-inch mill of the
Gary steel plant. A fellow roller was
swinging a sledge when Piney got in
front of 1t.
The hammer hit his cast iron jaw and
knocked him down. Workmen rushed
to his rescue but the iron jawed roller
brushed them aside. Save for swell
on the side OF his face, which is the
size of q half canteloupe, Piney is ready
to do more rolling on Monday.

| ing iron ore, coal and lumber show de-
elnes. compared with the 1910 figures.
The combined freight shipments for
the month were 1o,346.73o short tons,
as compared with 1s,60s.516 short tons
for June, 1910, and f0,1s0,o34 short tons

this year amounts to Is per cent as
compared with lat year. Milwaukee is
the only port showing an Increase for

lumber movement for the month.

year the shipments of lumber amounted
to 4o9,919.o00 feet, about II per cs.,

GEN. BELLS PROTEST.
Alleges Discrimination by Health
Department in San Francisco.

The practice of the health authorities in
San Francisco of holding up United
States army transports returning with
soldiers from the Philippines several
times as long as the periods during which
regular merchant steamers are required
to remain In quarantine Is the source OF
complaint to the War Department by
Brig, Gen. j. Franklin Bell. commander
of the Department of the Philippines
The department Is without authority to
act, and has informed Gen. Bell that the
matter should be taken up with the local
authorities. Merchant vessels are usually
let out of quarantine after twenty-four
hours. but the transports are sometimes
required TO remain as long as five days.

for discrimination against army. vessels

BAG Of GAME
TAKEN BY SCIENTISTS
Party of NaturaIists Returns
From British Columbia
With Good Collection.

The Smithsonian party which accom-
panied Dr. \. o. Wheeler. president of
the Alpine Club of Canada, on his topo-
graphic survey of the British Columbia
and Alberta boundary line and the Mount
Robson region has just returned to Wash
ingtOn.
n. HOLSTER, naturalist in charge of the
party, is elated over the success of the
expedition, and states that the new col
lection is quite complete and covers
practically all the birds and animals in
habiting this previously unworked terri
tory The party was small one, con-
sisting of only four members, including
Mr. Hollister. assistant curator of man.
mails. and ]. II. Riley of the division of
birds in the National Museum.
Went by Pack Train.
Assembling at Edmonston. Alberta, Can
ada, early in July, the party proceeded
on the Grand Trunk railroad to the end
of the line, where they found it necessary
to take pack horses to penetrate the
Mount Robson region. The land to be
surveyed included the territory lying
about this mountain in the heart of the
Canadian Rockies, comprising the most
rugged and broken country maginable-
Amid this wonderful scenery Mount
Robson rises in titanic outline, the high
est peak in the Rockies. probably be-
tween 1850 and 1900 feet high. and
surrounding it for a distance of fifty
miles in all directions lies the field of
the survey. In this wild and unclaimed
country the party of naturalists remained
nearly four months, protected by special
permits from the Canadian government.
Collection Is Extensive.
The natural history work was divided
up, Mr.. HOLSTER and Mr.. Riley collect
ing the birds and small animals, while
the other two collectors hunted big game.
The collection includes some 300 speci-
mems of birds and mammals, the latter
ranging in size from tiny mole-like crea-
lures, called ''shrews," to full-grown carl
bous and bears. One enormous grizzly
bear was obtained by fortunate shot.
Much fine material for exhibition groups
was secured. including a series of carl
bou, mountain goats. mountain sheep,
beavers and many varieties of smaller
animals. Besides, birds and mammals,
large numbers of plants and insects were
collected. All the specimens have been
turned over to the National Museum. and
when the collection is worked up parts
of it will be put on exhibition.
