Denounces Present Work.

At this afternoons session DR.. Albert
Leftingwell of New York. known as the
father of the anti-viviseetion movement
in America. was the principal speaker.
DIR. Lefhngwell, who, thirty-four years
ago, published the first vigorous article
denouncing vivisection, declared that the
attitude of animal experimenters and
those i'm charge of physiological labora-
tories today is precisely the same as that
of the Spanish inauisition; that the same
objections to any form of publicity which
existed during the inquisition are urged
today ill behalf of the vivfsection labo-
ratory- That these laboratories, while
maintaining absolute secrecy in regard
to what goes on within their walls. are
eAerting every effort to enshroud in SINH
lar secrecy the work that is done III char
ity hospitals, was the further assertion
of DIR. Leffingwell. who declared that if
such efforts are successful and the work
Of the vivisectors is permitted to continue
unchecked and unobserved for another
fifty years human beings will have taken
the places of the animals that are now
the subjects of the experimenters' knives
and cauteries.

Would Use Criminals.

The efforts of certain advanced vivi-
sectors to secure, through state legisla-
ton, the right to experiment on con-
demned criminals awaiting execution
were alluded to by Miss Nicholson, who
said that numerous efforts to secure such
legislation had been made by expert
mentors in several states and that such
efforts had been backed by eloquent but
specious arguments on the part of those
who sought legal permission to dissect
and experiment upon living human
beings
The invocation at this mornings ses-
sionS of the congress was pronounced by
Mgr. William T. Russell of st. Pat
rick's Church. who invoked the blessing
of Divine Providence on the work of the
delegates assembled in Washington for
the Third International Congress.
Following Miss Nicholsons paper Sena-
tor Henry j.. Myers of Montana spoke in
behalf of the objects of the congress,
and denounced the practices of those. who
carve and burn and poison living animals
in the alleged effort Ito advance the sum
of human knowledge and for the benefit
of mankind" Federal legislation designed
to prevent such practices, Senator Myers
declared, is urgently needed.

sion OF the international Administration

Raleigh Hotel, told of the sources of

oratories of the United States The suf-
ferings of helpless horses, dogs. cats,
monkeys, frogs and other animals were
described by Miss Nicholson. who de-
clared there is ample evidence to sus-
tain the allegation of the anti-vivisec-
tionists that animal experimenters do not
confine themselves to dumb brutes, but
that they are known to perform expert
ments upon helpless babies orphans from
founding asylums. and even on adults
from charity wards of hospitals.

KING OF AMERICAN ISLAND

greeted as huge joke, yet the story
he tells is true. the only part Of 1t
concerning which there may be any
doubt being his own connection
with It,
The kingdom he refers to was once
set up on Beaver island, in northern
Lake Michigan. and fiourished for
some years. James Jesse Strapg, a
prominent Mormon, had duarreled
with the leaders of his church, and in
1S46 withdrew with a few followers
to that island. Other Mormens joined
the colony from time to time, and by
the winter Of 184S they were suffi-
ciently numerous to threaten control
of the island. On July s, 1850, Strang
was crowned king with elaborate GER
emonies. There was much contro-
versy between the Mormons and the
other inhabitants OF the island, most.
ly fishermen. While on q visit to De-
troit President Fillmore heard Of this
little kingdom within the domain of
the United States. He sent an armed
vessel to Beaver island. and King
strang was captured and tried for
