PRATT, KANS., Sept. 27.-Profes-
sor L. L. Dyche received a very Pc
culiar shipment from a man at Guy
mon, okla. in which are six of the
most peculiar animals that Mr.. Dyche
or any other man of science has ever
seen.
The sender Of the animal shipment
does not know what they are, but
knows that he caught them close to
Guymon and does want to know what
they are.
They are seemingly young and are
about four inches in length. having a
head like a catfish and a tail like a
channel cat, with a row of feelers
around the back of the head similar
to the hair on a buffalo. They have
four legs protruding from the sides
of the body, well separated from each
other, and the legs resemble the legs
Of a frog. They are very lively and
live under water as well as out of the
water for a short time. When agi-
tated they make peculiar noise, sim
liar to a grunt or tiny bark.

Good Pounding = Fires as
They Flee Up Alley.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-John Young.
Of No. 1916 North Paulina street, Is
man with no regard whatever for
the prophecies. He does not play
according to HOyle. Tonight he out
ragged every rule in the book for
the guidance of highway robbers by
shamefully beating and maltreating
two poor holdup men.
And he crowned his infamy by TAX
ing their pistol away from them,
shooting at them, chasing them ig-
ANONYMOUSLY down an alley and then
Sticking" the police on them.
The robbers were doing their work
strictly according to the rules. Armed
with a pistol they waited for Mr..
Young near No. 529 West Garfield
boulevard, where it is dark and lone
~, and he had no chance to get
help.
"fIold up your hands" said one of
the robbers in gruff voice. Keep
quiet now or I'll blow your block
off"
All unsuspectingly the robber then
trusted himself within reach Of Mr..
Young. never dreaming that the vic
tim would do anything irregular.
But Mr.. Young smashed the robbeT
in the eye, a clear violation of the
ethics of the game. Then he seized
the pistol with one hand and mauled
the poor holdup man until he let
loose of 1t.
Disguised with his conduct. the
robbers turned to leave, when Mr..
Young further violated the code by
beginning to shoot at them
SO violent and ungentlemanly was
Mr.. Young's conduct that the poor
robbers were forced to flee at the top
of their Epeed while he kent on hurl-
ing lead at them from their own
weapon.
Il think l winged one of them,
said the shameless Mr.. Young when
an auto load Of police came out TO
stop the firing.
His GROWING piece of infamy was
to keep the poor holdup's pistol and
to ask the police to arrest the robbers
if they can find them.

HARPER'S Halls
ATLANTA'S VICE
WAR A SUCCESS
Weekly Cites Lesson Taught by
Chief Beavers in Editorial
in Recent Issue.

Atlanta's success in its war on the
social evil is hailed as exemplary in
an editorial in Harper's Weekly OF
last week.
The editorial Is headed "Neces-
sary2" II is a declaration against
the argument that prostitution should
be tolerated as essential. II reviews
the history of the fight waged in At
lanta by Chief Beavers and by the
leaders Of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement. and follows this
with the briefeT statement Of sim
liar crusades that are being arranged
elsewhere.
The editorial is as follows:
Atlanta is one Southern city OF
considerable size which has de-
clared that prostitution is not
necessary evil. The campaign for
the closing Of the houses Of pros
titution was the outcome of the
Men and Religion Movement. 1t
began in June. 1912 with a series
of powerful and convincing bull
letins, published as advertise
ments in the daily papers, pre-
pared by Marion Jackson, a tai
ented young lawyer of the city,
John ]. Egan, chairman of the
the work.
The facts were first disclosed
by an investigation in which ev-
cry woman of the underworld
was interviewed. The usual OBJ
jections to the suppression of the
houses of prostitution - that
women would be scattered else
where, the streets would be in
tested, and the hotel degenerate
into houses Of assignatlOn-wer
discounted by the established fact
that these supposed results Of
suppression were already album
dainty evident beforehand.
Four months after the publica-
tion Of these bulletins began,
Chief Of Police Beavers closed the
houses; the women were cared
for, many of them gladly leav-
ing their old life, and one of them
giving $500 toward the estab-
lishment Of a Martha's Home,
where fallen women are taught
how to support themselves hon
estly. State laws and municipal
ordinances were found to be suf-
fiCient, once public sentiment was
aroused, to the support Of cour-
ageOus official, and it is asserted
that the evils supposed to be in
creased by suppression have ac-
tually decreased. with due dill
gence on the part Of the police.

ket. The plans for this permanent

have gone forward to the extent that
ground will be broken for 1t early

The present plans for the manufac-
turers' permanent exhibit building
call for an expenditure Of not less
than 100000.
In order to concentrate the work in
connection with the building project
and to place It on a firm business ba-
sis, 25 of Cincinnati's leading bust
ness men, headed by Luke w. Smith,
one Of the live wires of the Chamber
of Commerce, Incorporated them
selves into a building company
known as the Manufacturers Perma-
nent Exhibit Building Company, Of
Cincinnati.
The promoters Of the permanent
exhibit building expect to have it in
readiness for occupancy next year
With its opening Cincinnati will be
in for a holiday that will bring thou
sands of out-of-tOwn buyers and
sightseers to the Queen City.

DAYS IN A CAVE
Near Death When Rescued From
Adventurous Visit to New Jer-
sey's "WaiIing Women"

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-From the
Cave of the Wailing Woman Of
Waushaw Mountains, near Towaeo
n. J., yesterday John Van Ness and
Willard circumstances boys who
had climbed through the scrub and
tangled briers in search of stray cows
rescued Miss Esther Schonberg and
Benjamin Handlemann, who had been
prisoners, without food and water, in
the weird pocket since Tuesday morn
ing.
Both Handlemann and Miss Schon-
berg were nearly unconscious. Neither
had had the strength to assist in their
rescue. An occasional weak, pitifuI
cry was all that their strength per-
mitted.
Girls Hair Turns Gray.
Miss Schonberg's hair, black as O
shoe when the spirit of adventure
drew her into the cave Tuesday, had
turned ashen gray. Hysteria had pos
sessed her, and the horror of her ad-
venture had bereft her temporarily Of
reason.
Handlemann, his hands and legs torn
in his futile attempts to climb tbs
scraggy walls of the cave, had JUS
strength enough to slip around tbs
body of his companion the rope which
Van Ness and Doremus lowered from
above. He was not able to assis
himself.
Tales of Fabulous Wealth.
Years ago prospectors discovered

Money was I Used and machinery

The alarm was false. The rugged
old mountain produced hardly enough
gold to pay the railroad fares of tn,
maddened men who fought for claims
But there was left a cave and
tunnel where the men had dug ant

was dug vertically from the face 0

winds rattle in their whistling jour

person and should have been deported
TO the State OF Pennsylvania. Such
action had been taken IN other cases
in the last year.
Punish, Not Protect.
a determination TO punish Thaw
is behind the present proceeding
rather than a determination to pro-
tect the public. Harry Thaw desires
10 be placed in a position whereby he
can return to his home city with his
mothe- and there remain in peace, a
law-abiding citizen That he should
be allowed to do"
During the course Of his argument
against extradition. former Governor
Stone OF Pennsylvania, chief counsel
for Thaw. openly accused Mr.. Jerome
o. deceit and trickery in the conduct
Of the case.
After commenting on Jerome's
position. he said:
at is practically charged that a
lunatic has conspired This IL alb
surd. It is ridiculous, ludicrous-
passing laws Furnishing a lunAtic for
escaping from an asylum. one might
as we'll punish a man for trying 10

breaking out Of prayer meeting.
The position Of New York state IS
peculiar" he said while other
states would be glad to get rid OF
their lunatics, New York alone is
anxious TO keep its mental detectives
There is nowhere any indication that
New York intends to try Thaw for
conspiracy. The Governor can no.
presume that they are going to do
something they have not stated they
would do. Meanwhile. the gates OF
Matteawan yearn for Thaw. The eff
forts behind all these prosecutions are
merely subterfuge. The requisition
for conspiracy is not mace IN Roou
faith"
Jerome Denies Subterfuge.
Jerome. in reply to Ex-Governor
Stone, denied the charge OF subter-
fuge and insisted that the State OF
New York was entitled TO the custody
OF Thaw and Intended TO get him IN
accordance with due process OF law
and would try him on the charges OF
conspiracy II successful in the extra
dition proceedings.
Five hundred persons were massed
in front Of the main entrance OF the
hotel waiting for a glimpse OF Thaw.
Others were strung along the street
right up to the entrance 10 the State
house grounds The crowd was dis
tinctly a Thaw one. There was much
disappointment at the closed hearing,
but the Governor decided that It was
best to restrict the session to the nee
essary officials and the press M
crowd was allowed to CongregatS.
The Governor was determined that
the hearing should have all the neces-
sary dignity and be devoid OF any
free show" element.
