WILL SAVE STATE $4,000
THAT WILL BE THE RESULT OF
RECENT INVESTIGATION.
Whole Thing Now Rests With Next
Legislature. Up to Them to Put
Recommendation Into Effect.

Recommendations Into Effect.
ATLANTA-It is estimated that
if the recommendations of the Ault
committee in reference to cutting
oil inspection fees and a limitation
on the number of fertilizer inspec-
tors is enacted into law it will add
$50, to $3.50 to the fund going
to district agricultural schools annu-.
ally.
Senator Harris states that his plan
for cutting oil fees down almost
three-fOurths will add fully $4,000.
to the amount received by the state.
Others estimate that fully $4,000
will be saved in the fertilizer inspec--
ton fees.
The subcommittee, composed of
Senator Harris and Representatives,
Ault and Cabaniss, named to draft
the report and recommendation in
full and to draw up necessary bills
to carry out the recommended
changes will probably meet here
next week to begin that work.
AS Representative AuIt is the only
lawyer on the committee it will prob
ably fall to him to draft the Mills
to be introduced. He will do that
work between now and the summer
session of the assembly.

THIS WOMAN CAN HOLD TONGUE
Is Staying in Jail Rather Than Tell
Court What She Knows,

That woman can hold her tongue
and do it very effectively was dem
onstrated several years back in the
famous Hammersley case in New
York, when a servant in the house
hold refused to divulge secrets with
which she had been entrusted by
Mrs. Hammersley, her mistress, as
a consequence of which the servant
spent a number of months in jail
for contempt of court. A somewhat
similar case has developed in Chi
cago. Miss Hazel Hogan is desired
by the court to be the chief prose-
cutting witness against several men
accused of robbery, she being the
victim of the robbery. But Miss
Hogan absolutely refuses to testify.
Four times she has been called into
court and placed upon the stand,
and each time she has refused to
say a word and been sent back to
jail for contempt. She has now serv-
ed about forty days, and says she is
prepared to serve on indefinitely.

100 TACKS IN HIS MIDST.
A Shoemaker of New Jersey Is to
Have a Tack-Lifting Operation.

A Burlington, N. J., dispatch says
Abraham Leconey, a shoemaker at
Delaneo, has been taken to a Phila-
delphia hospital for a tack-lifting
operation, upon which physicians are
relying to save his life. For nearly a
year Leconey has been suffering from
stomach ache. All remedies failed
to relieve him and the puzzled doc
tors finally proposed an X-ray exam
inatiton. The spotlight revealed
about 100 brass tacks sticking in the
walls of the shoemaker's stomach.
Leconey says that for several years
he has used his mouth for a tempo
rary tackbox while at work at his
bench and often swallowed a few.
The surgeons say one section of the
shoemaker's stomach has more tacks
in it than the sole of boot.

BUBONIC RAT GOT LOOSE.
There Were Exciting Times in Agri.
cultural Department for q While.

Henry Watterson some time ago
went on record as saying there were
'old, gray rats in and about the
capitol at Washington. But Mr.. Wat
terson had in contemplation no such
rat as that which caused consterna-
ton in the agricultural department
recently. This particular rat had
been imported from Algeria and was
supposed to be filed with the germs
of bubonic plague The other night
the rat got out of its cage and hid,
and then there were visions and sug-
gestions of bubonic plague through
out the big building. Eventually a
rat which resembled the Algerian
was captured and Gagged, but the
nerves of the employees are still vi
brating.

BULL DOG HAS RIGHT TO SMOKE
And Can Do 1t in Public, Too, Is
Decision of Court.

A bull dog has | gal right to
smoke a pipe, and to do it in pub
lie. This has been declared by Judge
Kernochan in New York court. An
agent of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals tried to
get out a writ to stop dog from
smoking a pipe on the stage. 81
don't think there is anything in the
law against that" said the Judge;
holding a pipe is pleasure. The
agent insisted that the dog showed a
distaste for the pipe by letting it
drop. THAT doesn't mean any
thing" said the Judge; I'VE all take
our pipes out of our mouths, but
we put them back" And so the dog
will be permitted to go on acting
like a man.

SAVED FROM ELLIS ISLAND
immigration Officials Make an
Awkward Situation.
COUPLE HELPED BY CONSUL
Brazilian Youth and Woman
First Held as Suspicious
Persons on Landing.

Shortly after the Cunard liner Cam
pania, from Liverpool. had started from
Quarantine yesterday Octavio Guinle, I
wealthy Brazilian, and Mrs. Clare Bor-
gogelli, young Italian woman, were
summoned to the saloon by the immi-
grafton officials and interrogated. TheJ'
were first cabin passengers and had
plenty OF money, but they were aliens
who had aroused the suspicious of In
spectors Mitchell and Moore.
The travellers had been closely asso-
ciated throughout the voyage and the
inspectors felt obliged TO detain them
Their stories, it is alleged, did not
agree. and the inspectors informed them
that they would have to go to Ellis
Island for further hearing. Mrs Bor-
gogelli wore costly furs and two strings
of pearls and had thirteen pieces OF
baggage.
Guinle said he had lived In this city
for about FIVE years and was interested
with his four brothers in big electrical
business in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
When the Campania's passengers mad
all gone ashore the secretary OF the
Brazilian Consulate, who had gone TO the
pier to meet Guinle, boarded the ship TO
look for him and found that he had been
detained The secretary then Informed
the inspectors that Mr.. Guinle was a
reputable man and should not be de-
tanned
This declaration, however, did not
bulge the inspectors, and so the secre-
tary telephoned for ]. +. da Cunha, the
consul general. When he arrived on the
pier he vouched for the detained couple,
and said il they were not released the
matter would be taken up Immediately
with the Brazilian Ambassador.
II was said on behalf Of Mrs. Bor-
gogeIli and Mr.. Guinle that they were
old family friends and had met by
chance on the Campania. Naturally,
their relations were cordial during the
voyage.
After the baggage of the couple had
been examined the inspectors permitted
them to depart, and both went to the
Ansonia Hotel.
