MAYOR TO SEE TUBE BLAST.

New York, Jan. 30.-Mayor Gaynor
will go to Storm King today to be
present when the last section of rock
is blasted out of the deep pressure
tunnel under the Hudson river for the
aqueduct which is to bring the water
from the new Catskill reservoirs to
New York City.
The two headings under the Hudson
from Storm King to Break Neck are
now nearly together under the center
o. the river. The tunnel at this point
Is more than a thousand feet below
the river bed. Mayor Gaynor will
probably be the first person to pass
through the new aqueduct from the
west shore Of the Hudson to the east
side % the river The new aqueduct,
when completed, will be one of the
marYels of the age ans
giil neve cost millions of dollars.

FACES FELONY
CHARGE IN P|TTsBURG

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 30.-Many SEN
sations are expected to develop during
the trial here of the Rev. DR.. w. D.
Mcfarland of Cedar Creek, Tenn, who
is charged with felony in connection
with the death of Miss Elsie Dodd Coe,
his former secretary DR.. Mcfarland,
who is prominent as a clergyman and
educator was arrested about two
weeks ago at his Tennessee home and
brought to Pittsburgh and released on
$4,000 bond pending his trial. Except
to assert his innocence and declare
that he is not afraid to go to trial. Dr.
Mcfarland has had little to say about
the case He returned without the
Formally of a requisition.
Before dying in a hospital Miss Coe
made statement to deputy coroner
that implicated the Rev. DR.. McFar-
land in the affair which caused the
death of the unfortunate girl. Rollin
Mcconnell of Chicago was also impli-
Gated in her statement. Mcconnell
confessed his part to the district at
torney and said that Miss Coe had re-
fu- ed to marry him when he had asked
her to do so.

Nearly Eighty Millions in crossties.

Washington, Jan. 30.-A bulletin re-
Gently issued by the census depart
ment shows that the railroads operat.
ing in the United States purchased
las, 231 900 crossties at a cost of $751;.
$4,000 during 1910. No statistics are
available for the number purchased by
each state, but it is estimated that the
Texas railroads consumed per cent
of this amount at cost Of $4,000, 900.
The above figures are readily verified
when it is taken into consideration
that Texas leads all states in the
Union in railroad construction, and
that it has 1880 miles of railroads,
which is per cent of the total of the
United States.

FEWER DAILY NEWSPAPERS.
Statistics for Past Year Show They
Are Diminishing In Number.

Are Diminishing In Number.
Philadelphia, Jan 30.-Newspaper
census figures for 1911, compiled by
the American Newspaper Annual and
Directory, published here today, indi.
cate that multiplication of daily pa
pers in the United States has come to
a halt. A year ago the number was
2472; the 1912 annual lists 10 less,
showing that the trend is now In the
downward direction. According to this
authority, greater mortality than birth
rate is explained by suspension or con-
solidation of newspapers in crowded
and unproductive fields. New England
has lost four dailies, New York four,
middle West states nine, and the
Western states have thirteen less than
a year ago. Gains have been heaviest
in the Southern states, while the mid
die Atlantic section has an increase
of three.
Weekly and semi-weekly newspa-
pers also seem to have reached their
limit in numbers. The 1912 annual
names and describes 1929 weeklies,
40 less than 1911, and COS semi-week-
lies, as compared with 617 in 1911.
The 1912 annual marks its forty
fourth year, contains more than 1900
pages describing 24,345 newspapers
and periodicals, presents ten distinct
items about EACH including its circula-
ton rating, and gives 1910 census pop
ulations for the 1000 towns in which
newspapers are published
Aeronautics, moving pictures and
Esperanto are responsible for new
lists of publications devoted to these
subjects. There are over two hundred
of these lists in the book just from
the press. Religious publications num-
Der S65, agricultural journals total 463,
and there are no less than 1919 sepa-
rate divisions of class and trade pc
riodicals. Exponents of more than
forty secret society orders are cata-
logued. Foreign language papers print
ed in thirty-four different forms of
speech are described in a classified
ton of their own.
These statistics are gathered from
returns by the press of the country
and sifted, verified and arranged by

are engaged in such revision through

Wants To Be on National Highway.
San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 30.-The
BeXar County Highway League, the
San Antonio Automobile Club and citi-
zens of this section of the state will
make strenuous efforts to place this
city on the route of the proposed ma.
tional highway from San Francisco to
New York. The present plan of New
Workers and Californians is to con-
struct the highway along the route of
the Santa Fe. 1t is the plan of the
San Antonians and residents of this
part of Texas to bring the highway
through San Antonio. The project is
a feasible one and not at all impossi-
BILE. At present tourists who seek
Southern climes are divided into two
who go to California
and those who go to Southwest Texas.
The construction of this national high
way would mean that all tourists
would visit both California and this
section Of the country.

TURTLELEss HEAD
Prehistoric Specimen Owned by Or.
Francis Of A. 4 M.-Not Disposed
to Sell to Owner Of Head.
less Turtle.

! DR.. Mark Francis, professor of vet
Urinary science of A. & NJ. College, has
a fossil which is the petrified head OF
turtle.
Newspaper reports are that Col
Phares Bell Of Cleveland, Ohio, has a
fossil skeleton of turtle, without a
head.
DR.. Francis secured his fossil from
men who unearthed it while excavat-
ing near Navasota on the Brazos river.
Colonel Bell secured his fossil from
Texas man. The two owners of the
two parts of a turtle have not met,
and although Colonel Bell is Offering
$1,000 for the head that will fit his
turtle, DR.. Francis is not disposed to
sell because he does not want to part
with the valuable prehistoric specimen
which he has added to his collection.
DR.. Francis sent his fossil to the
Smithsonian Institution, and DR.. o.
liver p. Hay made a report on it, de-
scribing it in detail and saying that
in his opinion it is a rare specimen.
He compares it with specimens of the
same character in the United States
National Museum and shows that the
Texas specimen is larger than the
others. DR.. Hay says it is complete
skull of the great fresh water tortoise
known as the alligator snapper. The
exact geographical age of the speci-
men has not been determined.
That Colonel Bell should have a
headless turtle and that DR.. Francis
should have a turtleless head leads
to the natural inference that the two
parts might fit if they are brought
but neither owner wants TO
part with the specimen he has, and as
money is not an object to either one,
the chances are that the prehistoric
individual will not be joined together.
"Will you sell your specimen to
Colonel Bell for $1OOO?" DR.. Francis
was asked.
'T'll let him look at it if he will come
here,' said DR.. Francis.

The M. 0. G. Road.

VIM. Kenefck is back from
France and in an interview in a
Kansas City paper the other day
he is quoted as saying he will
build the road from Wagner to
Joplin, and that he will do it as
soon as possible. If this is true
it is possible, some people think
that the road will miss this city,
and 60 into Joplin from Miami.
We do not believe this, for the
reason that a line has been sur
veyed to Pittsburg through this
city, and on account of the heavy
grade into Joplin from the south.
There is to be some town BOOM
ing done down south of US in the
Grand River country, and after
that. is done Baxter Springs will
get the road. Of that we feel
sure, and we do not think there
is anything to worry about.
