FRENCH HAVE NEW DEVICE

Steel Bolts Dropped From Height
of 1000 Feet Said To Be
Fatal.

Boulogne, Sept. 4.-On Saturday
the French came forth with a new
invention, which is more eff ective
than bomb throwing.
The new fighting aeroplanes are
fitted with boxes which are filled
with thousands of steel arrows. They
are really steel bolts about four
inches long.
The airmen of the war will fly ov-
er the enemy in an aeroplane. With
simple device they can open trap
doors, and the steel contents of
box is showered on the enemy. The
effect on men in mass is deadly, for
one of these, dropped from height
of 1000 feet, will go through man.

New Act The Full Import of
Which Has Not Bee
Pointed Out.

The discovery has been made that
one of the new Acts applying to
third class cities, passed by the last
legislature, makes it unlawful to col
lect any city poll taxes from resi-.
dents of the city who pay county
poll tax.
This little act appears in full be
low:
Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky:
l. That no city of the Third Glass
shall hereafter levy or collect a poll
or capitation tax on the citizens
thereof for any year in which the
county. in which said city may be
situated, shall levy or collect a poll or
capitation tax on the citizens of said
city.
2. All Acts or parts of Acts in
consistent or in conflict with the pro-
visions of this Act are hereby re-
pealed approved March Is, 19l4J
The cities that are affected by the
Act are Hopkinsville, Owensboro,
Henderson, Bowling Green, Middes-
boro and Frankfort. In Hopkins
vile there are approximately 1900
white men who pay $4,000 in poll
taxes, one-half to the general fund
and one.half to the public school
fund. There are 900 eel red men
who pay $3.50 to the general fund
and Sl.00 to their own school fund
81 $50 of revenue. The to- !
tai loss to the city is $3.50, and to
the schools $3.50, or 1850 in all. /
About two-thirds of these pc Is
are actua ly co ected and paid into
the treasury, Last year the white
schoo received more than 81 SEQ
from this source, enough to pay
three of the teachers. The colored
schools received about $500, or
enough to pay one teacher. /
The loss of revenue to the city
amounts to about tenth of the
fund from taxes.
The same conditions probably OBJ
ain in the five other third class
titles and the aggregate oss in reve-
lles viii be $4,000 or $40, 900. 4
The act was introduced by the
)wensboro representative and was
passed without a full knowledge of
is far reaching effects. /

1t was the trouble In Mexico that
led the Presidents advisors to urge
that the Presidential business estab
lishment take to the tent Until the
Mexican situation became acute the
men close to the President had hoped
that this year the Chief Magistrate
might enjoy the rest and relaxation Of
well-earned vacation. Last year. 1t
may be remembered. the tariff legisla-
ton kept the Chief Executive in WASH
ington pretty much all through the
heated term. but this year there ap-
peared ground for hope that Congress
would adjourn early in June. and let
the boss OF the government get away

mer home at Cornish. N. H., which

Then came the Mexican hare-up and

chance that the man at the helm OF
the government could get away even
for brief outings. The plan for tent
life was the answer to this dilemma.
The physicians said that the President
must be we'll fortified with nerve force
to stand the strain. There Is no nerve
tonic In the world equal to fresh air.

to look out at the greenery or to listen
to the birds singing in the nearby
trees.
Air Cooling A Failure.
The setting up of this tent In the
White House garden is. In effect, a
confession of the failure of schemes
to cool the White House offlces-that
is to maintain a beautifully cool tenn
perature In this one-story building
during the torrid summer days. EX-
perts have been wrestling with that
problem ever since the Executive
Office building was erected during the
Roosevelt administration. They even
went to the trouble of installing an

and Imprisoned number of the depu-
ties, although his real friends advised
against such a course. Next he quar-
relied with the Cabinet and one by
one replaced them by inferior mem
mere f1gure-heads who would do his
bidding.
Fond OF Alcohol
Always fond of liquor, he soon be-
came almost a confirmed drunkard,
and today he Is more often found
drinking in the cafes than attending
to business in the palace. Stimulate
by strong drink, and surrounded by
a crowd Of sycophants, he orders his
men to do the most unheard Of things,
and openly boasts that the United
States is merely bluffing. and even If
there should be war he tries to make
his people understand that his ragged
lll-fed, nondescript set of soldiers
could defeat the United States.
Occasionally he essays to be leader
Of social life and invites the members
of the families of his accomplices (for

was at that time a colonel in the army
OF Diaz. but he knew the strength of
the Maderists and in doing this ne
played up to Madero. At the same
time he did not want to lose his hold
on Diaz, so he persuaded the aged
President that the men were over
whelmed by numbers. He fooled Diaz
until the end, for when the dictator
was forced into exile 1t was Huerta
who pretended to see to his comfort
and who even ordered a salute to be
fired In his honor as the steamer bear
ing the deposed President went out to

With Madero.
Then willy Huerta set about to win
the confidence of Madero, but In this
he seems to have been only partly
successful for the new President re-
tired him on half pay and for time
he engaged In commercial life, selling
contractors supplies. He was fairly
successful In this. but he somehow
forgot to pay his debts for household
expenses, and even today he still owes

that this had been Huerta's work beg
ged the crafty general to try in some
way to put a stop to this wholesale
slaughter. and by asking this they
played directly into his hands. Huerta
at once caused the arrest of Madero
and forced him to resign. Later the
President was given permission to
leave the country. and was at the rail-
road station for that purpose when he
was torn from his family rearrested
and, together with Vice-President
Suarez, assassinated. Huerta was not
a member of the Cabinet at that time,
consequently, according to the Mexi-
can Constitution, he was not eligible
for the presidency, but he had already
prepared for this by arranging that

but only for a day, as the new Presi-
dent resigned after twenty-four hours.
Huerta then became the ruler Of the
land-his ambition at last being re-
allied. For few days the Mexicans
hailed him as the saviour Of their
country.
Then the United States refused to
recognize his government and his
troubles began. Zapata renewed his
revolutionary activities and the Car
ranza-Villa faction laid waste his land
on the north. He was unable to Dor
row money to fight these people prop
erly, salaries Of public officials and the
rents Of public buildings fell into ar
