Virginia. and makes II a business to
house fishing parties and tell them
stories OF his performances when he
was a young man.
One evening a member of one OF
these excursions asked Pop:
Were you much OF IL fighter when
you were n young man? Did you ever
do much scrapping7'
"Fight?" repeated Pop. in voice
made shrill by man. years. You sec
that am small man, but in my time
I was the greatest fighter in the south.
and don't reckon there was anybody
in the north swift enough to trim me.
I was in the confederate army, and
down near Petersburg there was a fell
low in another regiment bullying all
his comrades. They sent for me to
beat him up.
II met him in little village. He
was about six feet six inches tall, but
he didn't scare me. I hit him once
on the point OF the jaw and broke his
face in. hit him so hard that he
fell clean across the street and into q

Lynn, Mass, Jan. 1.-When but a
few hundred yards from the Point of
Pines at the start Of his flight to Port
land, Me-. today. Harry N. Atwood met
with an accident and fell into the Icy
waters with his hydro o-aeroplane. He
crawled upon the top Of his machine
and at noon was waiting for boat to
come to his assistance.
When all the arrangements Tor the
flight had been completed the engine
was started and the hydro-aeroplane
rose. In turning into the wind little
water struck the magnetic and the en-
gine stopped. Then the aviator tried
to head the machine into the wind
again, when the rudder struck the
water and the apparatus collapsed. At
wood climbed on top of the aero-plane
and. looking toward his friends on
shore, waved his hat toward them.
A the machine was seen to coll
lapse those on shore rushed for boats
and several small craft soon were
headed In his direction. They came
none too soon, for as the nearest one
came up to the partly submerged aero
plane It sank In ten feet Of water. At
wood was pulled into q boat uninjured.

Congressman 10 Prssent Evidence
Showing Ravasss Of Phossy Jaw.
Washington, Jan. 1.-Backed by the
appeals of the scientists who met in
washington last week and by the
memorials of hundreds Of humani-
tartan organisations. Representative
Esch of Wisconsin will go before the
house ways and means committee on
Jan. 10 and urge legislation against the
manufacture Of poisonous matches.
Mr.. Esch will present vast mass
Of evidence showing the ravages OF
phossy jaw among the workers in
match factories employing the poison
GUS white and yellow phosphorus
Thousands Of American men, women,
and children are numbered among the
victims of this revolving disease
The use of white and yellow phos-
phorus is prohibited in match making
in nearly every civilized country ex-
cept the United States. Thru the re-
linquishment of patent rights last year
by the Diamond Match Company it is
possible to employ harmless substi-
tutes, but most American factories
continue to use the poison because it
IL cheaper.
The Esch bill aims to tax white and
yellow phosphorus out Of use by impos-
ing q prohibitive excise on matches
containing the poison.

Flint. Mich, Jan. 1.-Speaking be-
fore large audience Senator Robert
NJ. LaFollette today took for his theme
How Wisconsin Has Pospered Un-
der Its Progressive Administration" :"
and declared that progressive legisla-
tion in Wisconsin has not been de-
structive, as its enemies predicted.
Instead of driving capital out Of
the state" he said, 1T has attracted
capital more than other states. 1t has
made investments safe for all instead
of speculative for a Sew. 1t has been
conservative and constructive as well
as progressive. Not one of these pro-
gressive laws has been overturned by
the supreme court Of the state and not
one has been carried into the federal
courts.
1.-The general business conditions in
Wisconsin conclusively show that In
stead of being retarded by progressive
legislation Wisconsin has advanced
financially and commercially more rap
idly than the country taken as
WHOLE"
He continued:
Taxes Have Decreased.
Judged by commercial failures Wis
consin has prospered better than the
entire country. During the ten years
Of progressive legislation the expenses
of the state have Increased. but the
burden of taxes on the people has de-
creased"
The speaker went into details Of the
results accomplished and said:
Having brought the railroads Of
Wisconsin under state control we pro-
ceeded to extend the control Of the
railroad commission over the other
utilities OF the commonwealth.
wisconsin is teaching the lesson
that both the people and the investors
In public utilities may be benefited by
our system OF regulation. THIS is so
simply because the regulation Is @tihUrv
ough and scientific. Watered stocks and
balloon bonds get no consideration. and
as the commission knows the cost, it
knows exactly the lowest point to
which the rates can be reduced. 1t
even raises rates when they are below
the cost line. including reasonable
profits"
