An Artists Ingenuity.

Ingenuity can sometimes take ths

Der, appearing In The Merry Widow.
To suostantiate her statement. sne
gives the following story:
In North of England town there
was a shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright. although ne was
always depending on charity he paint
ed. landscapes. and an old lady, wnen
benevolently inclined. would hire him
to decorate her walls with rural
scenes, highly colored In glaring tints.
IS If nature had turned color-blind.
There were cows In every scene.
and the old lady noticed that all the
cows were up to their knees in water.
Not one stood clear on the vivid green
hills.
"'Jorvery' she remarked to the old
man. WHY do you always put the cows
in the water? -

they run as much as twelve feet from
the trail on the side from the wind. l
have noticed this so often when trailing
in snow. This shows that they don't
depend on sight to help them, for If
they did they would be guided by the
tracks"
Mr.. Kenney feeds his dogs on meat
scraps. bread. and foods such as any
other dog would relish. During the hot
weather of the summer just past II
wasn't so much their eating as their
drinking that concerned him. All the
wells on the farm and in the neighbor-
hood went dry, and he had to haul six
barrels of water a day for a long dis
tance to quench the thirst of those dogs.

TING. Stadden declared. Zelaya's move
ments have been dogged by men in the
employ of the Department of Justice.
Stadden held that ZeIaya's notification
to the State Department was a suffi-
cient guarantee of his honesty and
openness in his visit to this country.
Stadden's visit to the Department of
justice today was for the purpos. of
offering to produce Zelaya without the
formality of an arrest. He could not
however. give assurance that Ze!aya
was fully aware of his offer. The de-
partment, it is understood, then re-
fused to treat further with him, and
continued its search for Zelaya.

Aeronaut, Here, Tells How He
Was at the Mercy of the
Savages in Russia.

Looking several years older. from his
torturing experiences in darkest Rus
sia, President Atherholt. of the Aero
Club of America. stopped here short
yesterday as the guest of Mrs. w. g.
Gwynn. of Georgetown. He told a story
of privation, arrest, suffering and
escape. all Of which had tended to add
the weight of years to him.
Atherholt and a companion in an air.
ship were lost in Russia a few weeks
ago. and were turned over to the Ger
man authorities, but upon giving the
facts of their expedition to the Ameri-
can consul they were released.
Atherholt declared today that only
the superstition of the natives saved
the life of himself and companion. Awe
stricken by the air machine. which they
thought was a monstrous bird, the ma
tives. ignorant. wild. and skin-clad, fell
to their knees and worshiped before
the strangers. Atherholt says that ex-
cept for the airship, he certainly would
have been slaughtered.
He was turned over to the German
authorities for a trial. but after days
of effort he succeeded in obtaining his
freedom.
Before he left Russia, Atherholt says,
he and his companion were suffering
terribly from their exposure.
The savage natives. while respecting
him as a supernatural being, refused
to give him shelter and practically no
food. So for days he and his fellow
aviator endured the agony OF below
zero weather, which nipped their
hands and feet. and the pangs of hun
ger.
BY building fires with the little
kindling they could obtain, the two men
managed to avoid freezing to death in
their tent made from the airship COW
ering.
Mr. Atherbolt left In the afternoon for
Baltimore and from there Will return
to his home i'm Philadelphia.

DETECTIVE IS SHOT
IN An OPEN BAT TIE
WITH ROBBER GANG

Aged Bank Messenger,
But Fail.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Following the
unsuccessful attempt OF three hoid-up
men to rob an aged messenger OF the
Union Exchange National Bank on
Thirty-sixth street, near First avenue,
a squad Of detectives from headquarters
engaged the footpads in hot revolver
battle in which Detective Watson was
dangerously wounded in the groin. The
hold-up men had knocked the messen-
ger down and were reaching for the
money catcheI when the detectives
closed in.
The footpads ran, stopping to fire
over their shoulders at the pursuing
detectives. Watson dropped, but the
other three officers continued the
chase Bullets flew back and forth
along the crowded streets, the by-stand-
ers ducking to the cover Of doorways,
in wild confusion. Only one Of the
fugitives was captured
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty said
at police headquarters after the shoot
ing that he had assigned the detectives
to following the bank messenger on a
tip he had received that the hold-up
was to come off.
The messenger and Detective Watson
lay On the sidewalk until a policeman
called an ambulance. Plunkett was
merely stunned by the blow and soon
recovered. Watson was said to be in
a serious condition. One footpad, who
gave tho name. of Frank Moran. was
captured.

HAMMOND TO BRAVE
YAQU| INDIANS IN
W|LDS OF MEXICO
Irrigation Project in Sonora Be-
ing Checked by Hostile
Chiefs,

John HAYS Hammond will go to Mex
leo in short time, 1t was announced
today. even IL the Mexican government
does not accede to his proposition that
he be empowered to arrange a treaty
with the hostile Yaquis In the state of
Sonora. The Mexican government has
had the proposition pending since last
July. and although Ambassador Calero
has urged it in person in Mexico City
recently. the Madero government has
not yet assented.
Mr.. Hammond, who has an irrigation
project extending over COO. 900 acres at
the foot Of the mountains where the
faQuis live, plans to go TO Mexico to
inspect the progress of the work there
and to 60 up in the mountains unaccom-
panied save by one white man and an
interpreter ad persuade the Yaquis to
end fighting.
Hammond Will Make Trip.
Even il the Mexican government
does not authorize Mr.. Hammond to
arrange the treaty he probably will
make the trip to the Indian Businesses,
II is stated, and will argue with them
not to inerfere with his workmen when
be yleave the foothills and ascend into
the real Yaqui country. For the success
Of The irrigation project ii is necessa ~
that these workmen get up to the
sources of the mountain streams and
il is impossible for them 20 do more
than start il the Yaquis are not well
disposed
But If Mr. Hammond gets the de-
sired authorization he is much more
Iikel yto meet success, for he will then
have something definite to offer these
Indians, who have been at war with
the Mexican government for thirty
year sand who occupy an impregnable
position.
The Yaquis have 1,500 men armed with
modern rifles and many more armed
more primitively. But the rfhemen alone
can hold the steep ascents and decivities
of the passes against more soldiers than
Madero could put in the field even II he
had no others than these Indians to
hight. Not even Diaz in his younger
days could conquer the Yaqui strong
holds
Will Notify Chiefs.
Mr.. Hammond plans TO send word up
TO the Yaqui chiefs OF his coming to-
gether with Major Frederick Burnham,
the famous American scout, and he
hopes, therefore, to be allowed to climb
the heights without being made a tar
get for 1.50 expert rIiemen on the edge
of the cliffs.
The trip up will be made with none
OF the three men. hammond, Burnhsm
and interpreter, armed. Major Burn
ham is the man who served as q scout
in the first Matebele war and who was
given 300 square miles In Rhodesia for
his services. Later he climbed a noun
tain and killed Umlimo. the Matebles
god, in a cave.
