10 Hair, Frog Legs, and Bark
of Dog.

PRATT, KANS.. Sept. 27.-Profes-
sor L. L. Dyche received a very pc
culiar shipment from a man at Guy
mon, Okla, in which are six Of the
most peculiar animals that Mr.. Dyche
or any other man of science has ever
seen.
The sender Of the animal shipment
does not know what they are, but
knows that he caught them close to
Guymon and does want to know what
they are.
They are seemingly young and are
about four inches in length, having a
head like a catfish and tail like a
channel cat, with a row of feelers
around the back of the head similar
to the hair on a buffalo. They have
four legs prOtruding from the sides
Of the body well separated from each
other, and the legs resemble the legs
Of frog. They are very lively and
live under water as well as out Of the
water for a short time. When agi-
tated they make a peculiar noise, sim
liar TO a grunt or a tiny bark.

SEIZES PISTOL
Routs Pair After Giving Them
Good Pounding - Fires as
They Flee Up Alley.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-John Young.
Of No. 37lG North Paulina street, is
man with no regard whatever for
the proprieties He does not play
according 10 Hoyle Tonight he out
ragged every rule in the book for
the guidance OF highway robbers by
shamefully beating and maltreating
two poor holdup men.
And he crowned his infamy by tax
ing their pistol away from them,
shooting at them, chasing them iK-
ANONYMOUSLY down an alley and then
sticking the police on them.
The robbers were doing their work
strictly according to the rules. Armed
with pistol they waited for Mr
Young near No. 529 West Ca rfield
boulevard. where it is dark and lone
y, and he had no chance to get
help.
Hold up your hands" said one Of
the robbers in a gruff voice. Keep
quiet now or I'll blow your block
Off"
All unsuspectingly the robber then
trusted himself within reach Of Mr..
Young, never dreaming that the vic
tim would do anything Irregular.
But Mr.. Young smashed the robber
in the eve, a clear violation Of the
ethics OF the game. Then he seized
the pistol with one hand and mauled
the poor holdup man until he let
loose of II.
Disguised with his conduct. the
robbers turned to leave, when Mr..
Young further violated the code by
beginning to shoot at them.
So violent and ungentlemanly was
Mr. Youngs conduct that the poor
robbers were forced to flee at the TOP
Of their sneed while he kent on hurl-
ing lead at them from their own
weapon.
Il think l winged one OF them,
said the shameless Mr.. Young when
an auto load OF police came out TO
stop the firing.
His GROWING piece Of infamy was
to keep the poor holdup's pistol and
| to ask the police to arrest the robbers
| If they can find them.

ATLANTA'S VICE
WAR A SUCCESS
Weekly Cites Lesson Taught by
Chief Beavers in Editorial
in Recent Issue.

Atlanta's success in its war on the
social evil is hailed as exemplary in
an editorial in Harper's Weekly OF
last week.
The editorial IS headed 'Neces-
sary2" II is a declaration against
the argument that prostitution should
be tolerated as essential u reviews
the history of the fight waged in At
lanta by Chief Beavers and by the
leaders Of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, and follows this
with the briefer statement Of sim
elsewhere.
The editorial Is as follows.
Atlanta Is one Southern city Of
considerable size which has de-
clared that prostitution Is not a
necessary evil. The campaign for
the closing Of the houses Of pros
titution was the outcome Of the
Men and Religion Movement 1t
began in June. 1912, with a series
OF powerful and convincing bull
letins, published as advertise
ments in the daily papers, pre-
pared by Marion Jackson, tai
ented young lawyer Of the city,
John J. Egan, chairman Of the
the work.
The facts were first disclosed
by an Investigation in which ev-
cry woman of the underworld
was interviewed. The usual OBJ
Jections to the suppression Of the
houses Of prostitution - that
women would be scattered else
where, the streets would be in
tested, and the hotel degenerate
into houses OF assignauOn-were
discounted by the established fact
that these supposed results Of
suppression were already album
dainty evident beforehand.
Four months after the publlCa-
ton Of these bulletins began,
Chief Of Police Beavers closed the
houses; the women were cared
for, many Of them gladly leav-
ing their old life, and one of them
giving $500 toward the estab-
lishment OF a Martha's Home,
where fallen women are taught
how to support themselves hon
estly. State laws and municipal
ordinances were found to be suf-
ficient, once public sentiment was
aroused, to the support OF a cour-
ageous official, and IL Is asserted
that the evils supposed to be in
creased by suppression have &C
tually decreased. with due dill
gence on the part Of the police.

Appoints a Mother
For the MOtherlesS"
Kansas City Police Commission
Names Woman a Policeman
In Tenderloin.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 27.-A po-
Hcewoman who will walk a beat, 4"
composed largely Of disorderly resorts
and cafes frequented by all-night
merrymakers, is to be appointed, &C
cording to a decision reached by the
Kansas City Board Of Police Commits
sioners to-day.
The commissioners announced the
policewoman is to be the city's
mother to the motherless, rather than
a ranting moralist." and that her
principal duty will be to help those
who wish to be helped, but, because
Of social conditions, have no friend
to whom to apply.
I'VE will consider the police de-
partment amply repaid if we save
from wrong living a half dozen
girls" said Commissioner Reynolds,
but we expect the poliCewoman to
do far more than that"

GIRL TRAPPED

DAYS IN 4 CAVE
Near Death When Rescued From
Adventurous Visit to New Jer-
sey's "WaiIing Women"

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-From the
Cave Of the Wailing Woman Of
Waushaw Mountains, near Towaco
y. J., yesterday John Van Ness and
Willard Doremus-farmer boys who
had climbed through the scrub and
tangled briers in search Of stray cows

Benjamin Handlemann, who had been
prisoners, without food and water, in
the weird pocket since Tuesday NOR l.

Both Handlemann and Miss Schon-
berg were nearly unconscious. Neither
had had the strength to assist in their
rescue. An occasional weak, pitifuI
cry was all that their strength per
mitted.
Girls Hair Turns Gray.
Miss Schonberg's hair black as a
shoe when the spirit Of adventure
drew her into the cave Tuesday, had
turned ashen gray. Hysteria had pos
sessed her, and the horror Of her ad-
venture had bereft her temporarily IF
reason.
Handlemann, his hands and legs torn
in his futile attempts to climb the
| scraggy walls of the cave, had just
strength enough to slip around the
body Of his companion the rope which
Van Ness and Doremus lowered from
above. He was not able to assist
himself
Tales Of Fabulous Wealth.

Money was I ised and machinery
