WHALES DISAPPEARING.
Many Species Rapidly Becoming Ex-
tinct Because of Oil Industry.

The speedy extinction of the whale
is predicted. The Greenland right
whale has already been practically if
not totally eXterminated. This has
been due to the fact that alone
among the large whales its range is
restricted to the Arctic ocean.
Of the rorquals the chief is the
blue whale, the bulkiest creature that
has ever existed on this globe. Until
about twenty years ago this animal
was exempt from human persecution
on account of its formidable strength.
But since the invention of the bomb
harpoon. fired from a gun and ex-
plodlng in the beasts vitals, ii has
been hunted as diligently as other
whales, and steam whalers with eX-
plosiye armament are likely to make
snort work of the greatest known
inhabitant of the globe.
X. Lydekker says that in 1911 the
total number of whales killed in the
world was reckoned at 22,50O, yield
ing 10000 barrels of oil valued at
between 100000 and $4,000
600. This was double the catch of
1910, and that for the current year is
expected to exceed it by 10 or Is
per cent. TIE chief field of whale
killing is now in the southern hemis-
phere, wuere in 1911 1900 of tne
worlds total of 22,5OO were account
ed for.
When it is considered that gravid
COWS and nursing mothers are in
cluded in this wholesale slaughter
and that whales breed very slowly,
seldom bearing more than one calf
at birth and requiring % years to
attain maturity, it is obvious that the
whale population of the ocean cannot
long survive.

IMPRISONED SEVEN DAYS.
Chicago Man Spends Week in Attic,
Sick and Starving.

Chicago.-While search for him
was being conducted all over the city
Louis Haver, aged "a, a painter. for
seven days lay sick and helpless
walled in the attic of his own home
unable to summon assistance and fac
ing starvation. Monday he was res
cued, almost dead from hunger and
thirst and raving in delirium. Ply
sicians are doubtful of his recovery
Haver had just arisen from a long
illness on the day he disappeared
Roofers We're mending hole in the
roof and Haver climbed to the attic
to watch them. He was exhausted
by the effort and sank into sleep on
bundle of carpet in a dark corner.
The roofers completed their work
and descended through the attic trap
door, fastening it from below. Then
they closed the stairway door leading
to the attic from the upper story, and
departed.
Meanwhile the family had missed
Haver, but thought he had gone for
a walk. When night came and he did
not return, the police were appealed
to and a search for him began. 1t
was feared he had wandered to the
lake and fallen because of his weak
ened condition. All this time he lay,
half conscious and feverish in the
attic.
In rational moments he told how
he had beaten vainly upon the floor
and tried to tear a hole through the
roof on the first day. The family
was absent searching for him and nc
one heard him. Shrieks finally led
to his release

MAY CALL STRIKE.
Railroads West of Chicago Would BE
Effected by Order.

Chicago Representative of the
International Union of Shop EN-
ployes on all railroads running west
of Chicago have addressed a Joint let
ter to w. A. Garrett, chairman Of
the General Managers Association,
asking for a conference to present
certain demands. In the event that
a conference is denied, the officers
have been authorized to order a gen
eral strike.
Al conference in st. Louis, June
24-25, the recent vote taken among
the shOpment on the western rail
roads was canvassed by the interna-
tional officers, and showed an over
whelming majority in favor of a
strike, unless immediate settlement
is reached on the Illinois Central and
Hartman lines, where the shopmen
have been on strike for nine months.
While the vote of the men is for a
strike, the matter has been left in the
hands of the executive council of the
Federation of FederatiOns, which is
composed of the international presi-
dents of the nine crafts involved
Some of the general managers are
taking the situation seriously, while
Others profess to believe that there
wifi be no trouble. One manager said
that lit is a case of pure bluff" and
added that if the men should strike,
the roads are prepared to meet the
situation.
Should the strike be called, it will
involve about 100000 men on the
different railroads, but the managers
believe that many will refuse to obey
the order.

by the defendant and was not from in
juries sustained by Mrs. Hessenius
when she fell from the upper porch,
as defense contends Dr. L. Hecktoen
of Chicago was the first witness for
the state at today's hearing.
The strongest testimony thus far
introduced by the state was that Of
DR.. P. D. Cleaves who declared on the
witness stand that in his opinion the
victim met death from strangulation.
The defense strongly objected to the
testimony on this point but the objec-
tons were overruled. DR.. Cleaves
stated that an autopsy over the. body
conducted by himself and two other
physicians resulted in the discovery
of dark ring about the neck which
had been caused by external violence.

LINCOLN Gives
Law ON DUCKS
HUNTERS MAY HAVE 50 IN THEIR
POSSESSION. BUT rs IS LIMIT
FOR DAY.

The limit of ducks or any other
game birds that can be killed in any
one day is twenty-five You can have
fifty in your possession, but 1t is I'm.
lawful to kill more than half that
number in any one day. This is a
gist of letter received by an Ottum'
wa hunter today from Game Warden
George c. Lincoln, to whom he had
written for the law on this question
Of Importance to local hunters. Many
of the nimrods were under the i'm.
preston that II they went away for
two or three days and returned home
with more than twenty-five game
ducks the law would be on 'em for a
fine. This is wrong. Mr.. Lincoln's
letter is complete as follows:
"The limit of ducks or any other
game bird that can be killed in any
one day is twenty-five (25). Having
in possession at any time more than
twenty-five (25) game birds or. animals
is unlawful, except ducks. OF these
you can have fifty in your possession
at any one time ..
This ruling of Warden Lincoln will
be welcomed by the Ottumwa sports
men, many . of whom thought that
twenty-five was the sky line for their
bag no matter how many days were
spent In quest Of the feathery tribe.

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 19.-Chargine
that George w. Perkins is grubstaking
Roosevelt's campaign in the hope OF
profit to come, John Maynard Harlan
( OF Chicago and j. Adam Bede of Min
r1esota addressed two enthusiastic
Taft rallies in Arizona Tuesday In the
wake Of Roosevelt's tour through this
state.
The first meeting was held at Tue
son at noon and the other here last
night. - ~
George w. Perkins" said Mr.. Har'
Ian, lis grubstaking Theodore Roose
welt in this fight because he expects to
share the profits later. He is helping
to pay Roosevelt's expenses now be.
cause he knows that II Roosevelt
should happen to be elected later there
will be division Of profits. ?. 3D..
ut is not the first time that George
w. Perkins has helped to grubstake
Roosevelt in a political campaign in
the hope of repayment. He contributed
$4,000 OF the moneys Of widows and
orphans intrusted to the New York
Life Insurance company into Roose'
velt's campaign one year. And Roose-
welt gave the Steel trust, Of which Per-
kins is director, a license to violate
the law by absorbing its only formid-
able rival (the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company and then he halted a
suit against Mr.. Perkins Harvester
trust
"Who says grubstaking such a candi-
date is not profitable? Every time that
Perkins has contributed TO Roosevelt's
campaign he has called upon Theo-
dore Roosevelt later to deliver the
goods, and Roosevelt has delivered the
goods. Perkins has demanded that
Roosevelt do something he had NO
right to do-to violate a statute Of
the United States--and Roosevelt
has obeyed" ..
Perpetual Motion Politics.
Mr.. Harlan also referred to the bull
moose party as pollywog progressives.
"The Roosevelt idea of progress, %
he declared, sis perpetual motion. It
gives no heed in which direction it is
moving, whether 1t is right or wrong,
just SO 1t keeps in motion. The repub-
licap party is your truly progressive
party because 1t sees to It that its

is III the right direction.


But your pollywog progressive,
your bull moose progressive, gives lit
tie heed to direction All he wants Is
to keep necessarily in motion. If he
can only catch the eye of the onlooker
he cares little If after that period of
most intense activity he finds himself
just where he started"
Everywhere we have been on the
trail Of the bull moose" declared Mr..
Bede, 1--WE have found gloom in the
herd. In Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada
and even California there is growing
despair and frank admission that the
third party movement Is dismal fail
ure. The people of the west begin to
see that If it is penal offense to steal
a cattle brand or log mark, 1t is far
more criminal to steal the name OF a
great party as Is being attempted by
the bull moosers in Kansas, Califor-
MIA and other states, where they are
striving to put the bull moose brand
on the republican elephant.
"Tln Soldier Their Leader"
MEN who would do such a bastard
ly deed are being Justly branded as a
band Of thieves, and the tin soldier
who was not within cannon range of
San Juan hill is properly proclaimed
their leader and examplar.
"The plain people are saying Thou
shalt not steal and when beaten in a
convention of your fellows Thou shalt
not squeal.
1.-THE colonel claims he is much like
Lincoln. He says Lincoln was called
radical like himself But only cop
perheads and slave owners said that
Of Lincoln. Radical republicans called
him reactionary and tried to destroy
him in 1854, just as the red rag bunch
is trying to destroy Taft today, and
they brought out a third candidate for
that purpose. But they failed. just as
the bandanna third termers will fail
In November a~ A..
Even when Lincoln lay dead in the
little house on Tenth street in Wash
ington, distinguished senator Of his
own party said with an oath: Now
we can do something meaning that
Johnson would be more radical. It was
Lincoln's conservatism that saved the
union and established constitutional
liberty forever. -,s-
HE was not of the bull moose type
He never threw friend or told lie
He was builder and not destroyer
He bound up the nations wounds and
loved mankind"
