"og Dies Racing Train.

South Norwalk, Conn, Jan. 25.-
In a thrilling race of six miles be-
tween a Boston express train and a
blooded greyhound here yesterday,
iron and steam and human ingenu-
ity proved too much for nature alone,
an6 the dog dropped between the
rails and died of exhaustion.
Lucien Gray went aboard the train
at the local station and in the crowd.
Meteor, his blooded greyhound, be-
came lost. The train drew out aud
the dog started off at the side Of the
coach in which his master sat. For
fully a mile the dog retained his po-
sition at the side OF Gray's car
Through Rowayton and Darien
sped the train and dog A mile or
so farther and the greyhound was
forced to drop into the wake Of the
train. He hung on for some time,
and finally was seen to collapse. Mr..
Gray got off at Stamford, obtained
an automobile and hurried back, but
the dog was dead.

Tennessee Deadlock Broken.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 23.-The
Tennessee Legislature to-day elected
Chief Justice John X. Shields, Of the
State Supreme Court, United States
Senator for the term beginning
March 4th.
The election of Judge Shields oc-
casioned little surprise. During the
morning his friends were confiden-
TALLY claiming that he would get II
votes when balloting time came. He
received 60 votes, necessary to a
choice Sc.
1t was Knoxville field day in the
deadlock. In hope of changing the
aspect Of the contest, the fusionists
entered Attorney General Chas. T.
Gates, Jr., like Judge Shields, a
Knoxville man, in the race, and for
years one of Judge Shields closest
friends.
When the joint convention began,
the galleries were packed and the
excitement was intense. Many wo-
men were present. The deadlock
was broken on the anniversary OF
the end of the 1911 deadlock, when
Senator Luke Lee was elected.

woRLD's TALLEsT WOMAN DIES.
Ella Ewing, 8 Feet ~ Inches, Vic
tim of Curvature OF Spine.

Quincy, ILL.,, Jan. 1S.-Curvature
OF the spine Is given as the cause of
the death Of Miss Ella Ewing, the
worlds tallest woman and noted cir
Gus sideshow character, this morning.
She died at the home of her father, a
farmer, living near Gorin, Scotland
county, Missouri, about As miles
northwest of here.
Miss Ewing was eight feet four
and one-half inches in height and
would probably have been much
taller had it not been for the disease
which caused her death, which she
contracted several years ago, before
she had attained her full height.
Miss Ewing, who was 81 years old,
was perfectly normal until she reach
ed Ia years of age. Then she began
to grow until she reached her great
height. 1t was while she was still
growing that she injured her spine
while playing with some other girls.
From that time on she was slightly
humpbacked. During the last year
she had been failing, and for tho last
nine weeks she had been confined to
her bed.
The inconvenience experienced by
the giantess in travelling over the
country as q sideshow freak is
thought to have had much to do with
the Fastening of her death. The
beds We're never long enough for her
, and she had to put two OF them to-
gather to get her needed sleep. She
so had much trouble in entering
and leaving rooms in the hotels and
OTHER places where she stopped be-
, cAuse 1T became necessary for her to
stoop. The constant bending tended
to further aggravate her disease.

TAFT COVERED 11s,o5o MILES
President Averaged 75 Miles a Day
During Occupancy of Office.

Washington, Jan. "a. - When
President Taft stepped down from
his private car on his recent return
from New Haven the total mileage
of his travels during his four years
in the White House reached 49,
659-enough to have taken him
four and one-half times around the
world, or an average of about rs
miles for every day he has been
President The total Is exclusive of
the hundreds Of miles the President
has travelled by motor in every part
Of the country.
Mr.. Taft has made about $4,000
miles Of the total on his two "swings
around the circle" He has visited
every State in the Union, with the
exception Of Oklahoma and North
Dakota, and has stood as near the
four corners of the country as it is
possible for man to get.
Two trips to the Panama Canal
Zone have swelled the President s
mileage considerably. Although the
exact number OF days spent away
from the White House or from his
summer home in Beverly is not OBJ
tainable, 1t is probable that the Pres
ident has been on the road more
than 200 days and nights.
Congress gave the President $685.
600 year for travelling expenses and
he has used that appropriation every
year. This years appropriation
probably will be an exception. His
long trip last fall reduced the $685.
600 fund, and If Congress wishes
President-elect Wilson to see the
country early in his administration
1t probably will be necessary to place
an emergency fund at his disposal.
At the end of last years long trip
Secretary Hilles estimated that the
President on that journey had been
seen by more than 100000 per-
sons. If these figures were applied
to the remainder OF his journeying
Mr.. Taft must have appeared before
almost 25,000,0O0 of the nations
population. He probably has deliv-
cred close to 1000 addresses.

MILLIONS OF STAMPS STOLEN.
Widespread Frauds Are Uncovered
by the Post Office Inspectors.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Illegal
trafncking the country over in stolen
postage stamps, aggregating several
millions OF dollars annually, has Just
been disclosed by post office inspec-
tors whose Investigations were re-
ported to-day to Postmaster General
Hitchcock. They involved so-called
stamp brokers and confidential en-
ployees of large business concerns
throughout the United States.
Through confessions obtained by
the inspectors from some of the bro
kers whose operations were investi-
gated, it was Learned that stamps Of
all classes and denominations stolen
by burglars from post offices and
embezzled by employees from great
business houses and manufacturing
establishments were purchased and
resold by the brokers at prices far
below their face value.
Knew Stamps Were Stolen.
The postal laws make it a crime
punishable by imprisonment to sell
any stamp issued by the govern
ment for less than its face value. III
vestigations disclosed that, In addi-
tion to selling the stamps for less
than the price they could have been
purchased for from the government.
the brokers knew that the stamps
We're stolen when they purchased
them. Inquiries showed, In some
instances, that brokers entered into
a conspiracy with employees of busi-
ness houses to buy at prices agreed
upon all the stamps the clerks could
steal from their employers.
The first Of series of indictments
resulting from the Investigations was
handed down sealed in New York
city on Wednesday. The men in
dicted were Richard Fredericks, Irv-
ing C"Izzy"O Sevel and John Frank.
District Attorney Whitman has in
formed the post office department
there will be other indictments.
Frauds against the government
and various business concerns ag-
gregating hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually have been unearth-
ed in New York city alone, while il
legal trafficking in stamps in Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburg,
Chicago, Indianapolis, ST. Louis, Gin
cinnati, Minneapolis, New Orleans,
Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco,
Seattle, Portland, Ore, and many
other cities has reached large pro-
portions.
In New York approximately twen-
ty so-called brokers make business
Of purchasing postage stamps at
price ranging from SO cents to 90
cents on dollar and selling them
to merchants at prices varying from
95 cents to 80 cents on dollar.
