nixon and Albert Sarbach former

u. S. Sartin Wins Office.
The supreme court today decided
that u. Sartin is the legally APP
pointed auditor OF Wyandotte county
IN an opinion ousting w. d. Smell
from the office. The controversy be-
tween Sartin and Smell, who has been
holding the office since November, |
1911, grew out of differences between
E. 1. Fisher and F. d. Hutchins, judges
of the First and Second
divisions OF the Wyandotte county dis |
trict court over the appointment of
county auditor. The judgS were I'M |
able TO agree on the appointment last
fall and Judge Fisher, who presides
over the First division, held that he
could make the appointment without |
the consent of Judge Hutchins. Smell
was appointed by Judge Fisher last
and assumed charge of the
office. Later the two judges agreed
on the appointment of Sartin, who
qualified. Smell declined to turn the
office over to Sartin, who brought GUST
er proceedings against Smell in thet
supreme court.

Wild Man Fees to the Capital; Cop Nabs Him

SEIT," alias Gingerbread" the wild
/ man from Borneo, escaped from
his dugout at the Rockville fair the
other day, and, coming to Washington,
was locked up on charge of disorder
1y conduct.
The wild man, who lives on raw
meat and leafs 'em alive" was ap-
preached the following night by Po-
1iceman Andes Of the Fifth precinct
while doing a war dance In Pennsyi-
vania Avenue Southeast.
Who do you think you are, any
way?" inquired Andes.
GIT! Wool" responded the wild
man.
Whereupon Policeman Andes called
the wagon, and the wild man was
taken to the station, put in a cell, and
told to sleep it off,"
1t is supposed that the wild man got
tired Of staying in cage and eating
raw meat and sleeping in hay. So he
pushed the door of his dugout open,
and walked 16 miles to Washington to
get something that would take the
taste of the meat out of his mouth.
When the news spread through
Rockville that it probably had wild
man on it's hands, posse of vigi-
lantes armed themselves with shot
guns and pitchforks and raw meat,
with which to appease his mean dis
position.

Sparrows Annihiate Worm Army on Navy Green.

the warlike precision with which the
sparrows moved
1t was estimated by onlookers that
neither column of sparrows was over
three feet wide. They worked In solid
block formation and moved rapidly on
the corps of army worms, which was
solidly intrenched behind breastworks
of grass.
Owing to their intrenched position.
it was impossible for onlookers to es-
innate the strength of the worms, but
it was generally conceded that the at
lacking battalion of sparrows was 500
strong.
Like Henry of Navarro at Ivry, the
Commander" of the worms held his
forces close to the cannon" of the
invading sparrows, but without avail,
for the charge of the five hundred"
proved devastating to the intrenched
worms.
The battle" continued throughout
the day. and at night not a sparrow
was reported dead on the field. while
hundreds of the enemy had been
slain.

Observation-Disclosures of the total
W extinction of the whale through
everlasting" is dealt with in the thir-
teenth annual report on fisheries, is
sued by the board Of agriculture and
fisheries
1t is unquestionable, says the report,
that in the case of slow-growing and
slow-reproducing animal like the
whale, although, owing to its wide
range, it will probably never be abso-
lutely eXterminted, excessive hunting
speedily results in a very marked de-
pletion 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 com
paratively sluggish and timid animal
whose capture by the method referred
to presented little difficulty, whereas
the rorquals and other species were
not only too swift, but too dangerous
to be attacked in the same manner as
the right" whale.

jeff Tesreau of New York Giants.

OF all the pitchers who broke into
the major leagues this season jeff Tes-
reau of the Giants looks the most
promising. His no-hit game against
the Phils recently stamps him as a
man possessing the goods.
Tessy has the gigantic build and the
strength of a mighty twirler.F Like Ed
Walsh he is ideally constructed for a
spit-ball hurler Unlike Walsh, he
came into his own the first year-it
took Walsh about two seasons before
he really got going.
During the early part Of the season
Tesreau was delight and despair to
McGraw. HE seems to have every
thing a pitcher should have, yet he
don't seem to be coming across" the
Giant boss is reported as saying. But
today Tessy is McGraw's chief reli-
ance.

When they could not find him, they
went home and barred the front door.
The wild man is no beauty. He is
hairy individual, six feet tall. with a
sinister cast of countenance. He has
bullying eyes and an ecliptical-shaped
head, with an indentation on the top,
covered by patch Of hair. When seen
at the fair grounds, mothers would
draw their children to them when the
wild man grinned. and strong men
would shudder.
After spending a night at the Fifth
Precinct station, the wild man was
taken to Washington Asylum hospital
for observation.

Reckless Waste May Cause Extinction Of Whale

the harpoon with explosive shell, dis
charged from a cannon mounted in
the bows of steamer, the conditions
were entirely changed, and the species
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 between
10000 and 10000 whales were cap
tured in the southern hemisphere
alone (South Georgia, South Shetland,
South America and Africa, to which
has to be added the catch in North
America, Japan, Farce, Iceland, Spitz-
bergen and Greenland, and these fig
ues will probably be greatly exceed
ed in 1912, as numerous new COM
panies have been formed to exploit
Alaskan, Australasian and Sandwich
island waters.
This wholesale destruction must in
evitably tell its tale within a few
years, and, as a matter of fact, In
Newfoundland and Iceland fears are
already entertained that the fishing is
on the decline.
1t would not, therefore, be matter
for surprise if, within few years, 1t
may be found necessary to establish
something in the nature of interna-
tional control, and the precedent of
the Behring seal fishery shows how
vexed a question whaling may ulti-
! mately become.

Process That Reslsts Rust.

BY a new process the galvanizing OF
iron and steel for the purpose of re.
sisting rust has been greatly simpli.
fed by the application of a coating
of lead or lead alloy, instead of zinc,
which is used at the present time.
Lead, with / per cent of tin in it, has
been found to be very durable com.
bination, especially suitable for cleo.
trio railway work. The economy OF
the new process lies not only In the
fact that the value of the alloy made
use of is very much lower than that
of zinc, but also in that very much
thinner coating may be applied.
