something like his name, he signs him

pous, Black List.

A dogs black list has been estab,
lished by the National Cyclists I'm
ion to deal with ill-natured animals
who interfere with cyclists. In bring
ing al action against the owner of q,
dog 1t is not sufficient to prove that
the dog caused. the accident and that
the defendant is the owner. To sue
coed it must be proved that he was
aware Of its dangerous tendency. 1t
may come out in evidence that the
same dog had caused accidents before.
but it must be proved also that the
owner knew this. The National Cy-
clists' Union asks cyclists who know
of one of these dangerous dogs to
send on the name and address of the
owner and description of the dog. AS
soon as the information comes to hand
a registered letter is sent to the dog
owner drawing his attention to his
dogs dangerous propensities and mott.
flying him that if an accident occurs
a copy of the letter will be produced
in evidence should the matter come
into court.-London Globe.

of a new common sense clothing cru

clare that while women can discard
heavy garments as oon as hot wealth

silks and taffetas, the men have hith-

been the custom. The man now in

PadereMski pisuusted,

P~aderewski, the famous pianist, who
recently made a tour of South Africa,
complained bitterly of the treatment
he received from South Africans.
When he was coming down the coast
from Durham, he told an interviewer
thar he was playing very softly on
the ships piano when a man came up
to him and said: Here, you stop that
noise!" 81 stopped playing at once"
said M. P~aderewski, "and then the
man went into the smoking room to
his friends, and they roared with
laughter when he told them he had
stopped me playing. He was not con-
tent with insulting me, but he must
also go up on deck, where my secre-
tary was painting, and throw biscuit
crumbs all over the picture. What a
country! How could Il be happy
in. a country where there is no I'M
Outstanding Of real art? They have
no idea of art, no sentiment for 1t,

Reflection on the Promoters.

Charles P. Abbey, a Chicago attor-
ney, was called upon at a recent BAN
quet given to lawyers and judges. He
said: Il was recently trying a case
to foreclose a mortgage given by pro-
lmoters Of a new insurance company
which had failed. I had as one Of my
witnesses a a named Kelley who
had made a friend of a yellow dog
while taking a morning walk. The
dog followed him to court, and when
the case was adjourned at noon the
dog was waiting for Kelley. The at
torney of the insurance people asked
him if he was trying to steal the dog.
Kelley thought a moment and then
answered blandly: Yes, I'm going to
steal the dog, and donate him to your
clients. They are capable of trying to
start an insurance company on a vel
low dog"

Eagles Clearing Away Pests.

The wild bears and foxes Of Santa
Rosa Island, CAL. are being extermi-
mated rapidly and in a novel manner.
The American eagle is doing the work.
The eagles that have their habitat in
the rocky eminences of the island
grow to immense size, the smallest
mature bird measuring about four feet
from tip to tip and the largest being
seven feet or more In sweep with
wings extended. They can carry thir-
ty or forty pounds dead weight for
miles with apparent ease. The eagle
swoops down upon It's prey and rises
to a height of fifty feet or more with
the struggling animal clutched in its
talons. If the pig shows too much
fight it is dropped, the fall killing the
animal. Then the eagle descends and
carries off the carcass to the distant
aerie. Foxes also are the prey of the
eagles.

THIRD DEGREE"
BILL IS FAVORED
Police Aroused by Probability
That the Measure Will Be
Passed by House.

BY reporting favorably the bill of Mr..
Upshaw of Douglas, prohibiting the
use of the so-called third degree
methods of police departments in the
state, the house penitentiary committee
has stirred up a hornets nest at the
local police station.
Those people simply don't know
what they are doing" declared Acting
Chief of Detectives j. B. Hewell "They
are standing in their own light. There
is not now and never has been any
third degree work here All that we
do is to question prisoners in order to
gather evidence and we don't attempt
to impose on anybody or go beyond the
present law. The statutes cover the
situation thoroughly. Forced confess
sions are not admissible under the pres
ent arrangement"
Chief of Police Beavers said that
questioning of defendants and wit
nesses was all that was ever attempted.
and this was no more than lawyers did
in bringing forth evidence This is
the third degree" asserted the chief,
when they say third degree They
think it consists of hanging criminals
up by their thumbs to force confess
sions. If the house committee wants
to come down here and have police
methods explained. we have the evil
dence Let them come.
When asked what he thought of the
local situation. Judge Nash Broyles
said: There is no third degree in
Atlanta. Officers elsewhere might try
to force confessions in the hope of large
rewards, but | don't believe there are
any such officers in the local depart
ment"
Detectives who joined in the discus
sion were of the opinion that the au-
thor of the bill and the supporters of it
were lacking in information. The gen.
eral impression was that if the bill
should pass it would cripple the eff
fectiveness of police work in bringing
criminals to justice and in recovering
stolen property.
This wouldn't hurt the police force
explained one detective, but it would
hurt the public
