WALKED SIX MILES ON WATER
Two Men With Specially Adapted
Shoes Crossed the Bay at San
Francisco.

Two men crossed San Francisco
bay on foot a few days ago, the San
Francisco Call states. They covered
the six miles without fatigue in two
hours and quarter. A crowd of com
muters watched their passage with
satisfaction. while railroad officials
looked on darkly. II walking on wa

Johann Gross demonstrated it to be.
goodby ferry boats. Every pedestrian
may become his own pilot
The bay was smooth when the two
Germans made their dip into the wa
tiers. They wore long shoes that bal
lasted the walker and permitted him
to move freely. Each carried a long
pole. held lightly, such as tight
rope walker uses in an exhibition.
The walk is the longest that has been
accomplished by either Merkl or his
companion.
When pleasure boats crowded
around them they became more dar-
ing. First one and then the other
would turn in his course and walk
backward as an exhibition of his skill.
This they did with comparative ease.
Once or twice they ran for several
dozen yards over the surface OF the
water
Merkl. the inventor of these water
shoes, is confident his device will DO
a boon to fishermen and hunters, who.
by using them, will be enabled to go
into any kind of water. The shoes
are collapsible and may be carried in
a suitcase or trunk.

roughly, but In all haste, dragged his
charge across the floor and fairly
nung him into the indicated seat.
IL was not until after the immedi.
ateiy succeeding occurrences that I
learned from O'Hara what had been
told to John Soy on his way up town
In the taxicab. As | understand It.,
the other detectives had informed him
that he was being taken to this house
so that his chief accuser, who was
nlgh unto death, could make an ante
mortem identification. AS a matter Of
fact. OF course. the situation was prac.
ideally the reverse: We desired Soy to
Identify McNish. and McNish, under
stress OF the encounter. to admit his
own identity. The Eurasian, however.
having been thus misinformed, was at
distinct disadvantage. So, when I
drew back the door, and he was push
ed forward into the room, instead OF
seeking, he imagined himself sought,
and with bowed head and eyes on the
moor, stood shrinkingly Ill at ease.
To this misunderstanding is proba-
bly, attributable all that followed. Had
Soy known that McNish was regard
ed. equally with himself. as an az
gressor, he might have controlled his
outbreak and permitted the law to
wreak It's tardy Justice. But Soy did
not know, and the tide of events met
sudden change.
1t is. indeed, scarcely conceivable.
how rapidly It was all enacted. For
just a moment the weakened figure
stood still. while behind him crowded
the rest Of us-the three detectives,
the two Cinnamon and myself.
I saw McNish struggle for an in.
slant TO maintain his pose Of indIffer-
ence. and then saw his cheeks
blanch, and his little eyes widen In
craven terror as he recognized the
shabby, silent thing before him. His
lips parted. his barred teeth clicked
together and his hands, like talons,
clutched tensely his chair arms.
In that strained moment the room
was strangely hushed know I
scarcely breathed, as nervously in
tent watched those two miserable
creatures; the one keenly conscious.
the other blind TO everything save the
rug pattern at his feet.
Then. like a flash, Soy stole glance
at his supposed accuser, and saw
him culver into steel. 1t was as
though an electric bolt had shot
through his shrinking frame and limp
limbs. He seemed to grow out OF him
self, to rise inches taller, towering
with stiffened neck and lifted head.
To describe with any degree of ac-
curacy what ensued, cannot. |
know only that McNish rose cum
brously to his feet. only to fall back
again beneath the bouncing spring OF
the Eurasian. Then followed a pistol
shot muffled yet sounding lethally
loud against the grim silence OF the
chamber; and, as with one accord we
leaped forward. saw Soy roll over in
a spasm Of contortions. and McNish,
thus freed from his gripping hold,
raise an arm and fire again. with the
pistol pressed 10 his own temple, Just
as Bryan. who had been nearest to
them, bravely made a grab for the
weapon.

An Old Saw.

Up in Bristol. r. l.. where great
yachts that have so long defended the
cup have been built, they tell a story
about the blind man. Herreshoff. who
designed so many of these beats.
He was examining an old mahogany
table OF beautiful design. and rubbing
his hands carefully over the upper sur.
face and underneath. When he had

THE sHERIFFs GOOD WORK.

Sheriff Edgar Brewster has settled
in full with the state. He paid into
the state treasury more than 100000
as jefferson county's share of lex
pense money" for the state govern
ment He has also settled in full with
County Treasurer Lindsay.
The collection OF taxes for 1912
were carried out most Systematically
by Sheriff Brewster and his deputies,
and taxes were secured from ever,
person who was indebted to the coun-
ty, who could be reached. None
were permitted to remain delinquent,
who could be found and whose name
appeared on the assessment books.
The few who remain delinquent will
be gone after from now on and Sheriff
Brewster will make an effort to de-
mand payment of taxes from every
person who ought to be paying taxes
and who has failed to give his share
in maintaining the government.
The collections of 1912 taxes exceed
those of, any previous year in the his
tory Of jefferson county.
In settling with the state yester-
day, Sheriff Brewster was character
lied as an early bird" for he was
given "Quietus No. IL Although two
Arkansas sheriffs had paid their col
lections into the state treasury on
Monday, they were not given "clean
bills" because their accounts had not
been approved by the county judges
of their county, while Sheriff Brew
ster's had been O. KID on the previ-
Gus day by County Judge Philpot.

PEN UP THE CHICKENS.

The council should have passed thu
ordinance submitted to it Monday
night, preventing chickens from run
ming at large. The ordinance was de-
feated by vote OF 5 to 3, but some OF
the aldermen who voted against it
hesitated before casting their votes.
One of the most troublesome things
around lawns and we'll kept flower
gardens is the ''loafing chicken" 1t
digs up the ground and proves itself
annoying to residents in all parts OF
the city The City Beautiful Club
should campaign among the alder
men and induce them to include the
chicken with stock that is forbidden
to parade at large" Alderman Sor-
rells, who introduced the ordinance,
urged it's passage, but the majority OF
the aldermen could not see it that
way.

WHAT A BRUNDIDGE PAPER
THINKS

The Conway Log Cabin Democrat,
published in a county adjoining that
of Judge Brundidge, and a strong
supporter of him in the primary, has
the following to say OF his contest:
s. 1T would have been much better if
either candidate had won the race by
a majority OF several thousand, that
there might have been no question as
to the real choice of the party for the
nomination. With "a majority of prob
ably less than one per cent. Of the TO-
tai vote against him, the loser may
easily feel justified in attacking any
apparent irregularities in the returns.
4 But in the present instance, we be-
lieve, for the good of the party, if the
official returns from all the counties
show Mr.. Hays to have majority of
the votes, Mr.. Brundidge should con-
cede the nomination and withdraw
from the contest. The Log Cabin
Democrat supported Mr.. Brundidge to
the extent of it's ability and would
have been greatly pleased at his nom
inatiOn. But the Democratic party is
of more Importance than the success
or defeat of any individual in the
party, and to institute contest at
this time would undoubtedly. leopard
ize the party's strength and bring it
Sa,4o 70 in tho Cfotn Aid tho
people in recent years have had
enough political turmoil and what
they want most now is peace and har-
mony.
I'VE do not believe that either Judge
Hays of Mr.. Brundidge was a party
to or cognizant OF any fraud in any
county. Yet in their enthusiasm the
friends of each who happened to be
in control of the party machinery in
some of the counties may have been
guilty Of irregularities. Mr.. Brhn-
didge points out nine counties in
which he charges frauds were COM
mitted on behalf of his opponent and
Judge Hays cites only three in which
the returns seem suspicious to him
If votes were padded" in behalf OF
either candidate, it is probable they
were padded" in behalf of both.
.sThe place to correct these evils, il
such occurred however, is in the
counties in which they are alleged to
have occurred and not in the coun-
ellis OF the state party organization
The law provides ample remedy for
such offenses and the law may be
easily enforced"

MOTOR FIRE TRUCKS.

There has been some talk in this
city recently OF disposing of the
horses ana fire trucks at the vari-
Gus iucal fire stations and installing
motor trucks. In all cities where
motor trucks have been tried they
have proven most successful and
more efficient in preventing big con-
flagrations. The Fort Smith Times
Record reviews in recent issue tic
success OF the motor trucks at Tulsa,
ok, showing that they are great
saving over the horse-drawn ap-
paratus. The Times Record says:
Tulsa fire department has not a
horse in it, the city having discarded
ali Lofse-drawn apparatus and sur-
stituted therefor motor propelled We
hieles.
iii is claimed for the change that
! saving Is effected aside from more
rasiid and efficient service. The
Tulsa papers say the chief Of the
department figures q saving OF slo,-

tinates shows that he bases it upon

assumption that the city would en-
plOy the number of head of horses
equalling the indicated horsepower Of
its motor trucks, engines, etc. This
is hardly fair comparison, but at
that it is apparent, taking into SON
sideratio1 the claimed greater-effici-
ency, that saving is effected. In
another way it might be demonstrated
that the new system is the better.
This might be done were it is shown
that the motor-propelled apparatus
by reason of it's greater speed, had
prevented the spread of a dangerous
fire or had resulted il a great saving
of property that could not, probably,
have been accomplished with horse
drawn apparatus.
"1n the Tulsa chiefs estimate he
compares the nine-horse equipment OF
the old regime with the twenty-five
horsepower potential of the new,
which would raise the cost of upkeep
from over $4,000 to over $4,000. He
figures operation and repair of motor
apparatus at $4,000 year and reach
es the conclusion that the saving is
about $4,000 a year, at which rate, he
calculates, the cost of the apparatus
will soon be absorbed"
