Committed in Alabama, Twice
Arrested Here, Young PhYsi-
clan Still RoamS Atlanta.
OFFICER FORCED TO ASK
REQUlSITIoN FOR CHARGE
Mayson Foshee Once Was One
Of Leading Medical Practi-
TONERS in BreWton.

In spite of the fact that he has been
committed to the Alabama state asylum
for the insane and though the Atlanta
police have twice arrested him for lu-
macy, DR.. Mayson Foshee, wealthy
young physician of Brewton. Ala sue
cessfully has defled the efforts of the
authorities to incarcerate him and he is
at liberty in Atlanta today
F'oshee, who is Sc years old and who
until recently had one of the largest
medical practices in Alabama, fed
Brewton several days ago Just after
he had been tried for 1unacy and COM
mitted to the asylum. He is said to be
a drug user and when he is not dazed
by the narcotic labors under the delu-
sion that his family is trying to cheat
aim of his fortune, which amounts to
many thousand dollars
Yesterday the chief OF police of
Brewton followed DIR. Foshee to Allan
ia. and, after long search, found him
in apartments at the Hilburn hotel.
The Brewton chief called upon the local
police for aid. Foshee was arrested,
despite his protests. and locked up.
Unable to Take Him
Without Requisition.
But when the Alabama Official took
him from the cell to start on the jour-
ney back to Alabama Foshee refused to
leave. He pointed out that he had been
arrested upon a commitment that had
been made out in another state and
was not valid in Georgia. He showed
the Brewton officer had no requisition
upon which to take him to Alabama,
and. despite the drugs, he pleaded his
case so well that the Atlanta authori
ties had no recourse but to discharge
him.
F'oshee went back to his hotel, while
the discounted chief of the Brewton
police hurried back to get requisition
from the governor of Alabama.
Late last night the police received a
telephone call from DR.. William D. Ro-
per. druggist, saying that man who
was wanted by the authorities could be
found at the corner of Wall and Pryor
streets. He gave no name and Detec
tives Starnes and Campbell were aston
ished when they arrived at the corner
to find that their new prisoner was
Foshee. whom before they had helped
arrest. Nevertheless, they took him TO
notice headquarters, where he again
protested against detention and again
was discharged.
DR.. Foshee declares that he will fight
extradjtion to Alabama. He says he is
going to stay in Atlanta, despite the eff
forts of his enemies" to put him lin a
mad house and get the fortune for
themselves"
He probably will remain at liberty
here until the Brewton chief Of police
can return with the requisition papers.

Turkey 7rot New? Danced 500 Years in Borneo

IT WILL be news to many doubtless
that the much-criticised turkey
trot" has been danced to the rain god
of a savage tribe in the north Of Bor-
neo for more than FIVE hundred years.
Several young women OF one Of Wash
ington's exclusive circles were as
founded when Prof. Edward David
son. q Washington dancing master.
made this statement to them during
a lecture on the history OF dancing.
Professor Davidson said that the
"trot" Is one of the holy OF HOLES
in the religion of the savage Muruts.
When there comes prolonged dry
spell these head-hunting natives per-
form the trot day in and day out until
the great rain god has heard their
prayers. The professor visited the
north of the island several years ago.
He says he saw them dance around
the image of the god an entire night.
During the latter part Of the
eighteenth century the turkey trot
was introduced into the dancing
schools Of Italy and Portugal. and
soon everybody was doing it, In the
irst part of the nineteenth century
It gradually died CIT.

The lowest previous August average
was 70.
Camille Flammarion. the eminent

2OO years ago. show that there has
been gradual increase in the rainfall
since 1888.
This year rainy weather has been
general all over France, so that fear
Is felt for the crops. Already there
mas been considerable talk in the
newspapers of probable suffering next

reports are regarded as too alarming.
1t is realized by all that, unless the

Agricultural Department an Aid to Housewives

Commercial industries were lonr
ago studied by scientific methods,
since 1t was found that gaining knowl-
edge by experience was much more
costly than gaining it by systematic
study. 1t is only lately that we nave
come to realize that > it is equally
profitable to study the housekeepers'
problems.
Fifty years ago few such ques-
lions had been taken to the labora-
tory and few schools gave instruction
In such subjects. Today very many
men and women of scientific training
have taken the home problem to the
laboratory and are finding ways of
helping the housekeeper to solve her
problems satisfactorily.
The department Of agriculture has
studied many questions which relate
to the use of agricultural products on
the farm and in the home, but per-
haps none of them has closer re-
lation to the household than the nu-
triton investigations Of the Office of

with the use of agricultural products
as human foods and whsse object is
to help the housewife in her Efforts

NO branch of the United States gov
~ eminent comes so near to the life
OF the people as the department of
agriculture. which deals with the cot
ton and other fibers of which our
clothes are made, the hocks and
herds We raise. the crops we produce.
the food we eat and the timber of
which our houses are built.
The closeness of the relation be-
tween the department and the people
is in great measure due to the fact
that the use which is made of agri-
cultural products receives as much
attention as their production. and the
great bulk Of these products is used
in the home.

departments work Secretary Wilson

port. that in the case OF a slow-grow.
Ing and slow-rroducing animal like
the whale. although. owing to its wide
range, it will probably never be alb
solutely exterminated, excessive
hunting speedily results in very
marked depletion of the stock.
The practical extinction Of the
Basque and Greenland whale fisheries
has abundantly proved this. 1t must
be remembered, too, that this result
was brought about by means of the
open and hand harpoon-methods
which are now obsolete.
The Greenland whale was q COM
paratively sluggish and timid ami
NAL. whose capture by the method re-
ferred to presented little difficulty.
whereas the rorQuals and other spe-
cies were not only too swift, but too
dangerous to be attacked in the same
manner as the right" whale.
With the introduction, however. of
the harpoon with explosive shell, dis
charged from a cannon mounted in
the bows Of steamer, the conditions
were entirely changed, and the spe-
cies formerly immune from attack
could now be hunted with impunity.
The result Of this revolution in the
conditions under which the fishing
could be prosecuted Is seen in the
enormous dimensions which the in
dustry has attained at the present
day.
1t is estimated that in 1911 be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 whales were
captured in the southern hemisphere
alone (South Georgia, South Shetland.
South America, South Africa), to
which has to be added the catch in
North America, Japan, Farce, Iceland.
Spitzbergen and Greenland, and these
ngures will probably be greatly ex-
ceeded in 1912, as numerous new COM
panies have been formed to exploit
Alaskan, Australasian and Sandwich
island waters.

evitably tell its tale within a few
years. and. as matter of fact. in New
