Hayward TO BE coLLEoroR.
Former Governor WIN Be Chosen for
# Revenue Office.

) Washington, July 3O.-Former
Governor d. G. Hayward, of South
Carolina, will be collector of internal
revenue for South Carolina lust as
soon as his name is sent to the Sem
ate by the President and confirmed,
this agreement having been reached
here yesterday by the two South Car
olina Senators and Secretary Nc
Adoo.
When it was announced last week
that q President had issued an ex-
ecutive order re-establishing the
South Carolina collection district,
Mr., Hayward took the matter up
with his friends here and asked the
members Of the South Carolina dele
cation in Congress for their support.
While other names have been dis
cussed it has been apparent from the
first that Mr.. Hayward would be the
man who would be selected. To-
days action verifies these predictions.
Governor Hayward came to Wash
ington Sunday with Wilson G.. Har-
vey, Of Charleston, and spent yester-
day and to-day in a canvass of the
situation. This afternoon it became
evident that other names would be
eliminated and that Mr.. Hayward
would be the winner.
When Senator Smith, who has
been active in the matter Of estab-
fishing the new district, was asked
about the situation he confirmed the
story that Mr.. Hayward would be
named, and said that the matter had
been satisfactorily arranged with the
White House and Treasury Depart
ment.

HAS 800 CHILDREN; WANTS 90,
Rich Oklahoma Man Has Home for
Boys and Girls.

Charles Page, millionaire Of
Tulsa, Okla, has adopted 800 poor
children and hopes to increase the
snasInber to 1000. Near the village
fof Sand Springs, short distance
from Tulsa, he has established a
home liz the center of tract con-
taining 5000 acres. He has con-
verted 80 acres of forest into one of
the most complete parks in the Uni
ted States. In the equipment of the
park particular attention has been
paid to the playground for children.
Every conceivable device for the
amusement of the little folks Is to
be found. There Is, in addition, a
free kindergarten maintained in a
large airy room, screened in and
equipped with hammocks and cots
for rest. An interurban railroad,
owned by Page, connects the village
and park with the main part of
Tulsa. Every morning special car
takes every child who cares to go to
Wv p"ih anu 'SIuihS W IhSli
homes in the evening.
Page, who is worth about $1,000
600, has announced that every bit Of
his property, save hotel in Denver,
will go to the Sand Springs institu-
ton as an endowment upon his
death. He allows no one to take a
child from the institution, although
he Is almost daily besieged by child
less people, many OF wealth, to let
them have some OF "his children. "
His reply invariably is, "I am able to
care for 1000 and wish I had that
many in the home"
He will make a place for every
boy who completes the course he has
mapped out for them in some Of his
interests. The larger boys work on
the farm in the summer. The larger
girls work a number of hours each
day during the fruit season in the
home" cannery. Any girl who
shows a particular aptitude for any
special branch Of study has the privi-
lege of going to any institution of
higher learning she may select upon
finishing at the Page "bome."

DOG DAYS ARE HERE.
All Snakes are Said to Go Blind
During this Time.
(Anderson Mail

(Anderson Mail.)
The country has entered into the
trying period Of "dog days" and the
ill-omened star is again blazing in
the sky.
According to the belief of negro
"mammies" and others versed in
Southern folklore, the snakes go
blind during this time and are all
the more dangerous because In a
state of madness which causes them
to strike blindly at anything that
comes near them.
In a locality like this section
where the evil influence of the dog
days Is generally believed in, it may
be interesting to note that the idea
connecting the star OF Sirius with
insupportable heat and prevalent
disease has descended from remote
antiquity.
Homer called it "the evil star"
and the Romans had the same idea
about it. The "dies canicular,' ~
which is plain Latin for dog days
were regarded as the unhealthiest
time OF the year in Rome and 1t was
considered deadly to walk in the sun
at that time Of the year. This be-
lief has persisted to modern times in
Italy, and there is to-day a proverb
among the lower classes at Naples
that "Only dogs and Englishmen
walk in the sun"
1t is related Of Ovid that when he
fell Ill during dog days he sacrificed
a dog to propitiate the wrath of the
star and was cured.

WILLIS L. MooRE's SUCCESSOR.
Prof. Cherries Marvin Selected for
Chief Of Weather Bureau.

Washington, July 31.-Prof. Chas.
of the weather bureau to succeed
Willis l.. Moore, recently relieved.
Prof Marvin is now chief Of the in
strument division. He was appoints
ed to the old signal service in 1884
from Ohio.
Under the new chief more atten-
ton will be paid to weather reports
and forecasts as they affect, or are
likely to affect, agriculture and gene
raj farming conditions throughout
the country. Other changes are to
be made in the bureau.
Prof. Marvin is the inventor of
many instruments used by the bu-
reau. He has represented the de-
partment of agriculture at a number
Of important meteorological con-
crosses, and has written extensively
on the subject of weather investiga-
tions. He has conducted experiments
upon which are based the tables used
by the weather bureau for determin-
Ing the amount of moisture In the
air, has studied the measurement Of
wind velocities and pressures, and
also on the use Of kites for ascertain
ing meteorological conditions.
Prof. Marvin, the new chief of the
bureau, was recommended for the
place by the National Academy Of
Sciences. President Wilson was re-
quested by the executive committee
of this body to delay the appoint
ment of a successor to Willis l..
Moore until 1t had canvassed the
field and recommended a man. The
first choice was Prof. Marvin.

1925, 900 WoRTH JEWELS TAKEN
Mrs. Ranan Loses $15O,OOO Worth of
Gems and Mrs. Rumsey $4,000.

Narrangansett Pier, r. l., July 81.
Americas best detective genius is
matching wits to-day with expert
crooks who took $225,O0O worth Of
gems almost from under the noses
of the owners in the summer colGuy
here during the last weekend.
Rival agencies, with international
regulations as thief-getters, have
been engaged by the victims-Mrs.
C. c. Rumsey, daughter Of the late
e. H. Hartman, and Mrs. John H.
Hanan, wife Of wealthy shoe manu-
facturer. Every pier on Narragan-
sett Bay is being watched in the be-
lief that the thieves, operating as
gentlemen" are sauntering about
the fashionable hotels, looking for an
opportunity to leave town without
exciting suspicion. Thus far not a
tangible clew has been found.
Mrs. Hanan's jewels, worth $780,
900, were stolen from her room at
Shore Acres Friday evening during
than 20 minutes. The gems lost by
Mrs. Rumsey, valued at $4,000,
were removed from her sleeping
room while she was out on Saturday
evening.
1t is believed that the old gang
which profited so greatly here in the
summer Of 1911 is again at work and
the police realize that if this is the
case they are pitted against expert
cunning. Attention again is turned
toward the reported "fence" in Bos-
ton, long believed to be patronized
by these thieves, but which has
never been located. However, it is
not expected that the members Of
the gang will attempt to dispose Of
their booty for the present.

TWO DIE; MANY HURT.
Speeding Cycle Seatters Flaming
Fluid at Mosordrome.

Cincinnati, July 3O.-Two are
dead, six will die before morning, ac-
cording to attending physicians, one
other Is probably fatally burned, and
i others seriously injured as the re-
suit of a motorcycle accident at the
Lagood motordrome, across the river
from this city, tonight.
Orin Johnson, Of Salt Lake City,
captain of the Cincinnati team, which
was contesting 1T the motordrome,
for some reason that will probably
remain unknown, drove his cycle TO
the extreme top Of the circular track
crashed into an electric light pole,
broke 1t off and the contact Of the
live wire with his machine exploded
the gasoline tank, throwing the burn
ing fluid over a score OF spectators.
Johnson paid the penalty with his
life, while VIM. Davis, aged five
years, is likewise dead, as the result
of the accident.
TWO women and four men, so ply
si"ians declare, cannot live until
morning, while others are at the
Kentucky Hospital in serious con-
dition. That many more spectators
were burned is almost q certainty,
as several drug stores in the vicinity
of the place were kept busy for an
hour after the accident dressing Che
burns of persons who esca jed with
out serious injury.
The race was the last one of the
program for the night and Johnson,
who had won both previous contests,
was leading. In coming in front Of
the grandstand he was seen suddenly
to steer his wheel toward the top
and before he could right it again
he bad struck a pole. A moment
later a streak of flame shot out over
the audience. Persons with their
clothing in flames ran here and there
md it was with 4iifficulty that the
flames were extinguished in time to
prevent the grandstand from catch
ing fire.
Johnson was conscious when pick
ed up, but died on the way to the
hospital, as did the Davis boy.
Six More Dead.
