Yonkers, n. Y.-Prof. Charles Edgar
Roake Of Syracuse university turned
his knowledge of chemistry to prac-
tical account in unusual fashion here.
He was walking on Jerome boulevard
when he saw approaching a runaway
horse attached to cart. Two scream
ing children were in peril in the cart.
The professor happened to have in
his pocket a package of an ammonia
compound. He threw handful in the
horses eyes as 1t came opposite him.
and the blinded animal stopped as If
shot.
Then, while a bystander held the
horse, he stepped to a hydrant and
prepared a solution of another chem
ical. With this he washed the am
monia from the horses eyes in time
to save its sight.

LONG ON SAME SPOT
New Yorker Lived in One Place
for 70 Years.
Edward Jackman Used to Catch Fish
Where Skyscrapers Now Are
Kept Out of Doors Much as
He Possibly Could.

New York-Inhabitant of this is
ment after another may read with won
der tinged with skepticism that one of
their fellow citizens, Edward Jackman,
who was born some time ago on Third
street, has been content to live on
the same spot ever since. Not in the
same house, understand, for the old
frame dwelling, with the garden in
front, where Jackman first opened his
eyes upon the light of New York, was
bruned to the ground in a memorable
fire that wiped out the whole neigh
borhood.
That was when he was little boy,
but he heard the story of the big fire
from his father, who promptly built
upon the same site the three-story
brick dwelling, where his son has
lived to this day So it is not quite
three-quarters of a century that Jack
man has made his home in the one
house Still, that is long enough to JUS
tify him in referring to 80 East
Third street as his permanent resi-
dence.
do you suppose you'll always
live here?" persons often ask the
old man.
IT don't rightly know" was his
answer the other day. Perhaps I'll
sell. Don't know where I'd go if did,
though. Might move out to Westfield
with my son, or up to Harlem, but
if did that | don't know what I'd do
with my dogs. Guess I'll have to be
moving on, anyway, pretty SOON"
He said this last with the intona-
ton that left no doubt as to its mean
ing. Jackman was rs years old few
days ago, and he does not forget it.
But he is a brisk old man, who has
kept out of doors for a good share of
his life. That is because he loves to
fish. Time was when he didn't have
to go very far from his fathers front
door.
There used to be big pond between
Avenues G and ID and between Sixth
and Seventh Streets" he said. THAT
was long time ago. We called it
Green's pond, and the boys used to
fish there
All around these parts there we're
a lot of vacant lots. Aston owned a
lot of them, and held them for rise
In value. These lots, all around here,
would be let out to Germans who ran
vegetable gardens. It's all changed
now. and the only gardens I see are
those little soap boxes with green
things trying to grow in them that
you see all along the street in the ten
ement house windows"
Yet that part of town is not so very
modern. Very close to Jackman's
door the horse car, trundling by,
solves part of the rapid transit prob
lem of the neighborhood. In his ear
lier days, the Drydock line of stakes
ran up from the Battery to Twelfth
street, and Second street had a cross
town line that was very convenient.
When Jackman talks of selling
and moving. he speaks with no great
conviction. Yet he's just a little lone
ly in Third street
'Do you know" he said there isn't
a person left anywhere about here that
| used to know as a boy. They've all
died or moved away"

STEAL BODY
FROM VAULT
GhouIS Cause Sensation at
Erie, Pa.
VAULT OF A MILLIONAIRE
POLICE WILL NOT GIVE IDENTITY
OF THE BODY BUT TITS BELIEV-
ED TO BE sIsTER.IN-LAW OF
LATE CONGRESSMAN SCOTT
POLICE SEARCHING.

Erie, Pa, Feb. "a body has been
stolen from the vault here of the fami-
ly Of the late Cong. VIM. J.. Scott.
The police of communities within 400
miles have been notified of the crime.
The discovery was made by two
women walking through Erie Gene
terry. The family was Immediately
notified and a watch was placed in
the cemetery at midnight last night
after all assurances were made that
the missing body was not in the vault.
Newspaper men early this mroning
were ordered from the cemetery at
point of revolvers. The identity of
the stolen body is held a secret by DO
lice and members of the family, but
it is believed to be that of Mrs. Me-
Cullom, sister-in-law of the late Con-
gresham Scott. The police believe the
vandals also intended to carry away
the bodies of Scott, who was "a mil
lionaire and also that of Mrs. Scott.
Broken chains and open doors were
found in the tomb. An investiga ton
showed that the casket containing
the body of Mrs. McCullom had been
carried away. II had been sealed in
the wall and a chisel had been used in
breaking the seals that the metal box
could be reached. Directly opposite
it on the second tier is a casket con-
tanning the body of Mrs Scott. The
seal here was also broken and when tho
tomb was examined, ii was found that
this casket was half way out. and. TO
all appearances was ready to be car
ried away.
That the casket was carried away
in wagon is indicated by tracks in
the snow about the tomb. The foot
prints of four and in some instances
six men were discovered. An Italian
settlement near the cemetery has be-
come an object of scrutiny by the DO
lice and every dwelling is being search
ed from cellar to garnet, at the COM
mand of Chief Wagner.
One of the big bronze doors on the
mausoleum had been pried from it's
hinges and the other had been badly
battered. Practically every casket IN
the vault had been tempered with
while that containing the body of Mrs
Anna M. McCullum was removed en-.
tirely. Mrs. McCulIum died in Phila-
delphia nearly twenty years ago.
She was the wife of ]. A. McCul-
lun, and the daughter of John A
Tracey of this city. Her body was
brought here and placed in the Scott
vault, which is hidden from view from
the street.

Beverage In Favor Of Recipro-
city
MAKES A LENGTHY SPEECH
CLAIMS THAT RECIPROCITY
WOULD BE GOOD THING FOR
COUNTRY AS A WHoLE-WAYs
AND MEANS COMMITTEE AD-
DRESSED BY NEWSPAPER MAN.

Washington, Feb. 9.--The first gun
in the congressional battle over Can
adam reciprocity was fred in the SEN
ate today. Senator Eeveridge of In
diana, en- bfsHrsc1ie as the marks
man and h. lined ap on the side Of
the administrator. He did not make
a pretense Of representing the others
Of the progressive republican camp.
Plunging Immediately into the heart
of his subject, Beverage welcomed the
compact as the first concrete evil
dence of the establishment of such re-
lations with Canada as he thought the
United States should maintain with a
country so closely adjoined physically
and with a people so intimately al
lied with the Americans in kinship and
interest. Contending the importance
of the principle involved. he urged the
necessity for prompt and decided ac-
ton. The details he said, were of
comparatively little significance and
might be left to future adjustment.
Shall the United States and Can
ada begin a policy of mutual trade
concessions and commercial friend
ship, or shall we make permanent the
policy Of trade obstruction and COM
mercial hostility between countries?"
Thus asking, Beveridge said these
were real questions which must be
answered in dealing with the recipro-
cal agreement. His general position
was then announced as follows:
IF some think that the agreement
is hot all that it should be because
of the treatment of a few articles, the
answer is that even if this objection is
sound as to those few details, yet it is
negligible when compared with the i'm
portance of getting this great national
policy established. AS matter of fact
1t will be found that the objection to
a few scattered items is not sound,
for this is matter of agreement and
mutual concessions are necessary.
Even so our government has done
surprisingly we'll in concessions it has

FLUSHED
The Convey"
Words Of Dr.. Ramsey, the
Federal Inspector
INSPECTION TO Be CLOSER.
HEREAFTER THERE WILL BE A
CLOSE WATCH ON MEAT SHIP
MENTs FROM MINNESOTA INTO
NORTH DAKoA-No FURTHER
PROBE OF CASE.

'They flushed the covey and we cam
not do anything now" is the way DR..
r. c. Ramsey expressed himself today
in regard to the case of the shipment
Of diseased cattle from Moorhead to
this city, but from now on we will
keep close tab on all such matters.
You may depend upon it"
Doctor Ramsey is the assistant chief
Of the inspection department of the
federal government and is stationed at
Washington. He was ordered to this
city by the department owing to the
reported case mentioned above.
AS was stated in The Forum Of yes
terday, Doctor Ramsey and Doctor
Tracey, the latter inspector in charge
of the work in North and South Da-
kota and Montana, went into the case
closely yesterday, consulted with Pro-
fessor Ladd and others who were in
terested and left at 4:17 yesterday
afternoon on the Northern Pacific road
for jamestown, where they interviewed
Dr. j. w. Durham of this city, who
made the alleged inspection and passed
the cattle. Just what took place be-
tween Doctor Ramsey and Doctor Dun
ham, the former did not care to say,
but he said that hereafter matters OF
the kind would be more closely looked
into than formerly.
"The duties of the federal govern
ment inspectors have only to do with
the interstate shipments of cattle and
we are not supposed to go into local
matters unless we have explicit in
structions to do So" said Doctor Ram
sey. That is the reason Doctor James,
who is stationed here did not take
action in this case. They flushed the
covey and we can do nothing now, ex-
cept to renew our activities and see
that nothing of the kind happens in the
future. From what / can learn, the
conditions here have been anything but
satisfactory, and they will likely be
remedied by city and state officers at
once. The federal government is will
ing and anxious to assist in any way
it can in the inspection of meat and
cattle and will lend all the assistance
possible"
He and Doctor James took dinner
at the Metropole at noon today and the
former will leave for the east this
evening.
Doctor. Ramsey is an old North Da-
kota man. He came to this state over
twenty years ago direct from a COL
lege in the east and located in st.
Thomas, where he stayed until he had
earned enough money to go back east
and finish hfs education.
During the time that the scabies
were raging among the cattle in the
west he was stationed in Fargo, where
he had the same position now held by
Doctor Tracey of Bismarck He had
his office at that time in a room in a
building where the Commercial bank
now stands, and he said to The Forum
yesterday that he would always have
a warm spot in his heart for this city
and her people.

Man FALLS into
SULPHURIC ACID
STANDARD OIL COMPANY PLANT
AT POINT RICHMOND,
CAL, BURNS.

Point Richmond, Cal, Feb. 9.-Fire
caused by blazing SCOT from a Chin
ney falling on the roof of the old sui
phuric acid plant of the Standard Oil
Co, destroyed that plant, a tank con-
tanning 100000 gallons of crude oil,
and damaged the S1,000,000 new acid
plant last night.
One man, Carl Mcpherson, a work
man, fell into ditch filed with blaz-
ing sulphuric acid and was terribly
burned. Three men were injured. The
damage is estimated at $4,000
The spread of the fire was due to
an explosion of gas from one of the
tanks. A food Of acid ran down the
side Of the hill on which the acid
works stood and against a large steel
reservoir of crude oil. This took fire
and burned for two hours. A part Of
the oil was saved.

HURLING BODY
CAUSES Death

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. "A mans
body, hurled through the air when
struck by an overland limited
train, killed another man last
night and seriously injured third
The man struck was Edward
Donahue, foreman of gang of
laborers. He survived the effects
until today. The train, on it's way
the Pacific coast, had not yet
cleared the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad yards here, when the
accident occurred
Donahue with fifty of his men
were out cleaning snow from
tracks. The foreman apparently
saw the locomotive approaching,
but before ne could escape he was
struck and his body shot through
the air keeling over in an instant
the other two workmen who were
fifteen feet away. The train
was going forty miles an hour.

.''' fU j -FOUR YEAR
OFFICIAL Terms

bismarck, N. d.. Feb. 9--It is ru-
mored that a bill will soon be intro
duced in the house which will extend
+. the term Of office Of elective state Of
ficials to four years, This has been
plan widely advocated by many peo-
pie in various parts of the state for
several years, and should the measure
come it, it will doubtless have bur
little opposition.
With this bill will more than likely
come the provision for the short ball
lot, which inaugurates the system of
the appointment of all administrative
offices by the governor.
A prominent member of the upper
house, in speaking OF this phase of
the bill, stated to The Forum repre-
sentative last night that he felt it
would only be matter of few years
until this plan would be permanently
established in North Dakota. He be-
Heved, that ten years hence would see
the short ballot system carried out and
the four-year tenure firmly established.
The name of the house member who
intends to introduce the bill has not
yet been given out, but 1t is thought
the bill will be offered before the end
of the present week.
