THEY LEARN BY EXPERIENCE
Data Collected by German Naturalist
Show That Animals often Become
Wiser Than Their Parents.

A German naturalist has been col.
lecting data to show that animals learn
by experience, and thus, in some In.
stances, become wiser than their un.
instructed parents.
Game animals of all kinds, 1t ap.
pears. have learned the range of mod.
ern rifles. Greyhounds quickly learn
to let rabbits alone, and foxhounds
pay no attention TO either rabbits or
hares. Killer whales and gulls follow
whaling vessels, just as vultures fol
low an army. Crows begin to accom-.
pany the chamois hunter as soon as
they have seen the result Of his first
successful shot, and rough-legged buzz.
yards follow the sportsmen after
winged game.
The number of birds that kill or In.
jure themselves by flying against tele
graph wires is much smaller than 1t
used to be. The fact is also brought
out that birds and quadrupeds have
learned to disregard passing railway
trains, as horses quickly cease to be
frightened by automobiles. Instances
of the intelligent selection exercised
by sheep dogs are familiar to all.

POULTRY SHOW: 1HEREl
Organization Perfected and Dates of
Dec. 10, 20, II and d Named.

Oskaloosa is to have a poultry
show At meeting of number of
enthusiastic fanciers held at the La.
cey Hotel Saturday afternoon. an
| organization was perfected, officers
elected and the time set for the poul-
| try show was December 10, 20, 81
and %, 1911. Joseph Dagle, of Rich
land, an expert poultry Judge, was
present to assist with the organiza-
ton and was chosen as :he Judge
for the show. The name of the new
organization, on the suggestion of
| J. w. Bowdle, is to be the Sixth
District Poultry Association"
J. X. Hoover, one of the best known
poultry raisers in the state and an
enthusiastic worker in former shows
held in this city, called the meeting
20 order. After making a few re-
marks concerning the need of such
an association, and of the unity ne.
cessary to make a successful poul.
try show, he was followed by Joseph
Dagle manager of the Oak Hill Poul-
try Farm at Richland and who has
organized many. associations over
Iowa and Illinois. He spoke of the
benefits of snch an organization and
advised the farmers and poultry
raisers 10 get together at once and
perfect an organization and hold a
show next year. ~ .
The kichIand Poultry Show has
been a wonderful success. The first
year over three hundred birds were
entered and the second year over
seven hundred. Prizes were offered
averaging in value from $500 to
$3.50, and surplus was left in the
treasury.
Following Mr.. Dagle's speech Off
GERS for the coming year were elect
ed. ]. r. Hoover was the unanimous
choice for president. He has had
much experience along this line. He
is a we'll known poultry raiser and
at one time had many premium win
ming fowls. Success is assured with
Mr.. Hoover at the head. H. A.

HOPE G|VEN...UP= -. y.
FOR TARIFF BOARD
Situation in Senate Makes legiS-
~, lation Impossible.
HOUSE IS EXPECTED TO ACT
longworth and DaIzell Bills Differ
Latter Gives No Power to Com.
mission Beyond That Of
Present Body.

Washington, Jan. T.1Hope of pass
ing tariff commission bill at this
session of congress has been virtual
ly abandoned by its friends. The leg
islative situation in the senate, which
| is perhaps the worst that body has
seen In a decade, is the principal rea-
son ascribed for the belief that the
measure is doomed.
This fact has not served, however,
to lessen the contest in the house be-
tween the Longworth and Dalzell tar
III commission bills. 1t is the impress
sion among house members that the
body will pass one Of these bills, or
journment
|. House to Act Anyway.
That the house of representatives
should pass a bill regardless of the
situation in the senate was one of the
decisions at the conference of men,
bers of the committee on ways and
means with the president at the
White House last night. 1t is not I'M
derstood, however, that definite agree
ment was made as to the form of the
house bill although the president is
on record as indorsing the Longworth
draft, which provides a commission to
meet the hopes of the most ardent ad-
vocates of such body.
The Dalzell bill, which has the sup
port of Representatives Dalzell Of
Pennsylvania and Fordney of Michi-
gan, both members of the committee
on ways and means, and of Speaker
Cannon, goes no further in practice
than the present law establishing the
tariff board, except that it practically
assures its permanency. 1t does not
increase its powers or the scope of
its activities. The stand pat element
in congress is believed to be united
behind this measure. Both in the
house and in the senate the stand
patters believe that if they can stall
off a full-fedged tariff. commission at
this session no such body will be
formed by the Democrats during the
next two years, when they will control
the house.
WIN TPpCdi
If the Longworth bill goes down to
defeat congress will be asked by the
administration to appropriate $780,
900 for the work of the tariff board,
which would assure money enough to
continue the board during the life of
the Democratic house of representa-
tives. This item alone would arouse
considerable debate. especially in the
senate.
In that body only six weeks of the
present session remain, six days of
which will be consumed by eulogies.
Nearly all of the appropriation bills
remain to be passed and much debate
will be heard on the proposal to for
tify the Panama canal, the Lorimer
election case, ship subsidy and the d.
rect election of United States sena-
tors. 1t is evident, therefore, that if
general legislation of any kind passes
that body it must have almost unani-
nous support.

PENSION INCREASE
IS TOO RADICAL
New Bill May Be Defeated in the
Senate.
WOULD PILE UP DEFICIT
Senators Declare " Measure Is Adopt
ed No Saving Can Be Made at
Present Session of 81.
.... Congress.

Washington. Jan. 16.--Representa.
tive managers of the business of the
senate are furious over the action of
the house last week In adding $45,000,.
900 annually to the pension roll. '.
This was done In increasing the
amount of pensions paid under the old
age pension law, the increases being
so great that the bill as sent to the
senate carries a new appropriation for
an amount In excess OF all that has
been saved through careful manipula-
ton and obedience to the demands of
the president, In the army, the navy
and the treasury departments. If this
bill becomes law as passed by the
house, senators say 1t will be impossi.
BILE to show any saving at this session
of congress and the deficit will con.
tinue to pile up at an amazing rate.
.s' ,. Not Taken Seriously. ......
When this bill was first proposed
few public men took it seriously The
pension laws as they exist today, 1t Is
claimed, are remarkable examples Of
The generosity of the country toward
hose who have fought in its defense
The measure that has received the
sanction of the house was not demand
ed even by the Grand Army of the Re-
public, an organization that usually
pays close heed to the pension legisla.
ton of congress and is jealous of any
real or apparent slight of the old SOL
der. At its recent annual encamp-
ment held at Atlantic City no action
was taken with regard to this PROPOSE
ton and the records of that encamp-
ment will be searched In vain for an
Endorsement of the measure to which
the house has given its assent.
Taft Opposes Increase.
1t is known that President Taft is
opposed to the increase provided for.
He believes the pension laws as they
stand are more than generous. Expert
enCe has shown that where there Is a
meritOriOus case it is not difficult to
pass a special act caring for that par
Hcular case.
Speaker Cannon is charged by SEN
stors with being largely responsible
for the action of the house. On the
day when this bill was under consider
alton that influential member of the
house left the chair and from the floor
made a speech in support of 1t.
Unless there is radical change In
the sentiment of the senate the bill
will not be passed. One senator. dis
cussing it, said this measure had been
condemned more in the cloak and CON-
mittee rooms than any bill the house
has sent over in years.

FERRY BLAST IS PUZZLING
Widow of Explosives Victim Declares

Not Suicide. .-...

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 16.-Detectives
are trying to solve the mystery of the
explosion on the ferry boat Berkeley,
which killed John C. 'Norbon, mining
engineer, and injured five other pas.
engers.
While the detectives at first thought
that an explosive carried by Norbon
caused the tragedy, Mrs. Norbon. wild.
ow of the dead man. insists that he
was the victim of an assassin. She
bases the theory on the fact that three
years ago, while in Europe, he was

BASKET BALL
Observation-Disclosures
Y. 22-P. c. A. p.


The basket ball game last night be-
tween the local Y. M. c. A. and the
Penn Academy was declared in favor
of the down town boys. There was
some dispute over the last basket.
Madison, the Y. NJ, c. A. guard, took
the Penn forward, guarding him. The
Y. M. c. A. man fell and his opponent,
hearing whistle blown, stepped back
to let him up. Instead of this he
threw a goal while lying on his back,
giving the Y. NJ. c. A. the much need
ed two points.
The game started with a rush, the
visitors scoring several points. Mil
lard, PENIS star forward, was forced
to call time for a few moments and
was not himself during the first half,
scoring only one field goal. The rest
of PENIS points were foul goals.
First half ended with the score II to
in favor of the Y. NJ. &. A.
The second half started out slow
but long field goal shot from behind
inc Seh'el vi Tue helu put new lie
into the Academy boys. The score
was soon tied and then they took the
lead, only to lose the game by an
oversight of the chief official by the
close count of % to 81.
The feature of the game was the
guarding of Penn, Paris getting two
field goals and his opponent /, while
the US star forward had to be sat
isfied with an even break with his
opponent, each getting l field goal.
The stars of the game were Willard
for Penn and Paris for the Y, Willard
having the best of the argument. The
box score follows.

THE GORMAN MYSTERY
No Clew Whatever Has Been Found
of the Escaped Criminal.

The disappearance of Patty" Cor.
man is still a mystery. No clue
whatever has been found and ap,
.larently the man has either evapor'
ated or the earth has swallowed him.
IL is an almost certain fact that Cor
man did not escape by ordinary
means as he would have left some
sort of trace. One would naturally
suppose that he had help from the
outside which is about the ouly reas.
enable supposition left. If German
had plenty of money as his cellmates
have stated they positively saw he
could have been many hundreds OF
miles away by the time he was miss

ing German and thinks that the Of
ficers will never catch Patty" He
says German seemed to know consid-
cradle about locks and had stated
that certain jar would open any lock.
Not much truth is placed in this solu.
ton.
Martinson says that he was asleep
the night German disappeared and
knows nothing of the affair. He is
thought by some of knowing more
about the disappearance than he pro-
fesses.
The officers and detectives knew
German as a bad man" and evidence
against HIM was continually being
produced from competent authority.
1t was discovered that German had
served two years at Fort Madison,
was tried in North Dakota for bank
robbery and thought to be one of the
men who escaped from the Jail at
Sheldon, Iowa, few years ago. His
reputation Is bad and he was prob
ably determined to get away before
evidence enough could be produced
that would convict him for a long
term. He was known by the detect.
ieves as slick individual" and they
no doubt regret his escape as it will
mean more trouble in the future.
German was arrested in December
with Bob" Brady, now held at Sig.
Quincy, and Geo. Martinson, now in
the Oskaloosa Jail. Evidence enough
was found against Brady and he was
taken to Sigourney. After being in
Jail nine days, Martinson and Cor.
man were sentenced to thirty days
each for disorderly conduct this
length of time being thought sufii-
cient to find evidence to convict the
men.
A complete investigation will be
made concerning the disappearance
and il is hoped that some clue can

Oh! What Fun,

o. F. Schee gave about fifteen little
chaps the time of their life yester-
day afternoon by pulling them up and
down the streets of the city with his
auto. The boys hooked on behind
and Mr.. Schee in his usual spirit of
fun started out to give them a merry
time. Weaving up and down the
streets like a huge serpent, the boys
found difficulty in sticking to their
sleds. In going down the hill north
of the John +. Lacey home, on Mar,
ket street, the boys were unable to
hang on, and when the bottom was
reached only two remained. Mr..
Schee waited at the bottom for the
boys to hook on again.
