principals in the contest was given a
brief preliminary hearing, tonight. He
entered plea of not guilty to the
charge of manslaughter.
The amount of his bail was not made
known. The Alberta government set
aside the verdict of the coroner's jury,
Tuesday, and ordered the arrest of the
late prize ring fighters manager, Nc
Carney, the promoter, Burns, and the
referee, Smith. This came as a sur
prise. 1t was openly charged by the
authorities that the coroner's jury was
made up almost completely of per

Remarkable Record Of Transmitted

One of the most remarkable re-
searches in human biology that has
ever been made--a record of which
surpassed by far the researches OF sci

made in the subject during the last
half ceptury-has just been made pub

rector of the research laboratory Of
the Training School for Predetermined
Girls and Boys.
DIR. Goddard had the case of a fee

an investigation into the history OF her
case. His search led him back gener-

MuNIcH's NEW GARDENS.
Where Wild Beasts from the Wide
World Roam Over the Landscape.

In Munich. the capital of Bavaria.
and the most renowned art centre of
Germany. a unique geological garden
has of late been made one more of
many interesting sights. TIL animals
in this Geological Garden are to be
kept, as much as possible under the
conditions of their natural freedom
To the south of the city, where the
pure and fresh air blows, laden with
the perfume of the great forests,
which cover the hills and dales of the
Bavarian Alps, may be found the
most beautiful landscape In the en-
yirons of Munich. Pine trees hum
dreds of years old, silver birches'
knotty willows and poplars form a
forest in which small lakes glitter and
brooks Groom, and beyond far-stretcn-
ing green meadows rises o might*
mountain terrace, at the foot OF which
are clear bubbling springs. Here IS
the geological garden laid out forty
wears ago. A few years later, Profess
sor Emanuel Won Seidl took over the
artistics management and the archi-
tectural development of the Gardens.
The park has been opened to the pub
lie for the last two years, after mucn
trouble and opposition, and there re-
main many plans yet to be carried
out at Helenabrunn.
Coming to an open space in the
woods there are mighty American buff
faloes, and stays from the mountains
of Asia, and the wild boar from the
forests of Europe and India. The
Eropean bison is there also and his
neighbors are the zebra and the ante-
lope, whilst swimming birds from all
parts of the world disport themselves
on the lakes and streams. The nat
ural character Of the landscape has
been preserved everywhere.
Wherever possible bars and fences
have been done away with, and deep
and wide water bitches with high
walls have been substituted.

many rumors are circulated about
town in regard to the smallpox situa-
ton that many people are led to be-
lieve the situation is more serious than
II really Is. AS a matter of fact, there
are several very mild cases. These are
now under strict quarantine. All, who
have been exposed, will be fumigated
and vaccinated and fine will be given
those, who break the quarantine. The
municipal officers have taken the mat
ter up and City Marshal Knowlton has
been instructed to arrest any person
leaving house under quarantine. The
factories where cases have broken out
will be fumigated and all cases Of sus-
picion will be watched.
The rumor that the entire city is to
be placed under quarantine is abso-
lutely false and has not for a moment
been thought OF. There Is no reason
whatever for feeling afraid but every
precaution should and is taken as the
authorities are anxious to stamp out
the disease at once.

The meeting of the county commits
ssoners was held, yesterday, at Little
River, where the highway is a matter
of contention just at present. Residents
OF Northport ask that the two hills,
which form a bad curve in the high
way, known as Ellwell and Burd hills
be Strengthened. After looking over
the situation the commissioners decid-
ed in favor of making two-rod cut
in the Ellweii hill thus lowering 1T ma
terially. The matter of changing the
Burd hill will be taken up at an adj
journed meeting which will be held, on
July ~. In the meantime the exact
boundaries will be ascertained by a
survey. The only opposition to the
proposed change comes from those who
advocate new suspension bridge over
Little River the boundary between
Belfast and the town of Northport.
Hiram Farrow appeared in favor of
the new bridge. 1t is understood that
such a construction would cost several
thousand dollars.

To the same extent that Ii Is sur-
prising that Americans every year
come over To Europe, and spread
themselves over the different lands
and towns of the Old World. so is it
surprising how great number OF
them visit the capital of Bavaria
According TO the statistics pub
lished by the statistical bureau of the
town of Munich. 1928 citizens of the
United States of America visited
Munich in 1912. Most of these Ameri-
cans were in Munich during the sum-
mer months In May their number
amounted to 909, rose in June to 1903,
in July to 1883, in August to 1856, fell
in September to 1871 and in October
to 629. The average visit amounted to
four or five days; in many cases,
however. it was prolonged into weeks,
and even months. This average So
journ of Americans in Munich sur
passes that of the people of all other
countries visiting that city of $4,000
inhabitants. The many sided art in
terests to be found there, her excel
lent geographical situation-on the
threshold of the Alps. an hours jour-
than attractive character. Yet while
Berlin, Cologne, Dusseldorf have pro-
nounced american" characteristics in
their everyday life, Munich has but
scraeely a trace. 1t Is Just for this
reason, therefore. that Americans are
visiting the Bavarian capital in such
large numbers. A considerable num-
Der of American citizens have chosen
Munich as their permanent dwelling
place. In 1910 Munich had already
1855 resident American citizens.
