MUST PROVE HIS WIRELESS
EYE" REALLY CAN SEE
Oakland, CAL, Jan. 12.-Samuel
Spitz will have to convince the police
that his wireless eye" really can see
everything, or he faces prosecution
on charge of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. There is no spe-
cifie accusation against Spitz, but ex-
perts are overhauling the wireless
eye" in an effort to learn whether it
is workable.
Last September Spitz engaged Of
fees in the Bacon building and an
nounced the organization of what he
called the wireless spectroscope
company" He offered stock in the.
concern at 81 share and succeed
ed in selling several thousand dollars
worth The wireless eye" was the
company's stock in trade.
Spitz maintained that by means of
"stygian rays" and his wireless outfit
he could throw on a glass disc at
night the image of everything out of
doors within f1ve-nile radius of the
apparatus.
But curious detectives visited
Spitz' Office a few nights ago. Spitz
invited them to look through the
spectroscope. One after another they
did so, and to their astonished eye
there was unfolded a long panorama
of the city Of Oakland with light
.twinkfng in buildings and on the
streets.
But the doubling sleuths tore the
machine apart and at the "eye" out
let discovered roll of film on which
had been photographed a one-time

COLD BLAST FILLS MUNICIPAL
LODGING HOUSES
Old King Boreas blew his coldest
breath of the winter on Chicago to-
day and a bitter wind with the ther-
mometer registering seven degrees
above zero at $50 a. m. brought
much suffering.
The county agent was besieged by
hundreds of appeals from the poor,
who asked help to lessen their suf-
fering. Food, coal and clothing were
doled out to many, and charitable So
cieties lent their aid.
Each of the 25 municipal lodging
houses were crowded to capacity last
night, and at many of the flop
joints thin1y clad down and outs
shivered throughout the night, wait
ing for place to sleep or get warm.
AS soon as the beds were empty to-
day, many of the unfortunate men
were admitted, so that they might get
a few hours rest.
One death, due indirectly to the
cold weather was reported when Wal
ter Leuschke, 21, was drowned in
Bangs Lake. ~
The local weather bureau said that
the cold wave, moving eastward,
would be followed by a rise in tenn
perature within "a hours.

Nermillion.-At the regular convO.
cation of students and faculty OF the
University of South Dakota. Professor
T. Il. Thompson, who has been tray
cling in Europe the past summer,
gave an extremely interesting account
Of his trip and also many facts which
had a bearing on the present Euro
Dear war. He did not attempt to
Justify any of the nations o en-
gagged, but in an impartial way gave
some of the reasons advanced by va
rious countries for their present at
,itude in the war. Since Professor
Thompson's information was obtained
first hand and was uncolored by preju-
dice. it was intensely interesting and
educational.
Most people in America are preju-
diced and narrow as regards the pres
ent war; said Professor Thompson
They do not seem to realize that
Germany must be held together by
force and that the policy of blood
and iron begun by Bismarck must be
retained or the German empire would
20 to pieces. 1t was on this account
that she did not sign the treaty of
peace at The Hague a few years ago.
England'S side of the question is that
she must maintain her position in
western Europe as controlling the
commerce Of the sea. because that
is the very life nerve of the British
empire. She declared war because
Germany seemed to be taking her
away from her. On the
other hand. Russia's attitude has al
ways been that the Balkan territory
should remain the same and when
Austria attempted to change condi-
tons there, she accordingly declared
war.
THE real aus Of the war seems
due to the fact that Emperor William
wanted to extend his territory" CON
tinued Professor Thompson, land
France of course objected to this
Professor Thompson felt that the war
would be of long duration in view of
the fact that all countries concerned
have declared their intention of fight
ing to the bitter end and also because
several Of them have instruments Of
destruction not known to the general
public as yet.

the authority of their agents to sell
the stock of the company in the state

Makes It Easy for Farmer to Market
His Crop.

Bookings, S. D.-The organism OF
the dairy COW is especially adapted
for handling bulky field crops. On
this account she is especially suited
for the farmers of the central west
and northwestern states. The dairy
COW can utilize a larger per cent OF
the nutrients in the form OF bulky OF
rough feeds than can any other farm
animal. The three tons Of hay ana
one ton Of grain will occupy a spacs
equal to about 1900 cubic feet. This
large volume the COW will transform
or change into about 500 pounds OF
butter. occupying only about five Gu
bic feet OF space. or to a volume o.
concentrated human food only 1-256th
as large. AS stated above. Il dairy
COW will consume about three tOnS
Of hay and one ton OF grain, Or an
amount OF field crop equal TO about
four tons. This the dairy cow changes
into about 800 pounds of the most
concentrated human food known. The
heavy field crop is reduced TO q
weight equal to 1-26th as much.

Crabs That Steal Eggs

Some interesting facts respecting
the destructiveness of certain species
of crabs in Grand Cayman, an island
in the British. West Indies, appear in
a bulletin issued from the Royal Bo-
tanic Gardens at Kew. They are
great burrowers, and cannibals too.
In places where they abound nothing
Is safe from them. They will take
into their holes tn ngs for which they
cannot conceivably find a use-a
knife, for instance, or a pocket COM
pass. They will eat the eggs from
under a setting hen, if not the hen
herself, as readily as the leaves of
Seeding cocoanut trees. and of these
from 6 to 10 per cent. have to be re-
placed if they are planted in newly
cleared ground before the crabs have
been thoroughly thinned out. They
are responsible for frequent patches
of bare soil in the "bush,' which get
covered with vegetation when the
crabs are gone. During the drier
months of the early part of the year
they go underground to change their
shells, and add to their destructive
ness by barricading the mouths of
their holes with masses of sticks and
rubbish. like jackdaws' nests. nipnin ,

The final acceptance under strong diplomatic pres
sure, of the principle of mediation by Huerta Is d
single uncertain step in negotiation the outcome OF
which is so extremely doubtful Until this assurance
was given by the Spanish embassy yesterday all re-
ports of Huerta's acceptance were idle rumor But
what does it really mean?
Within a year the American people have mad
revelations of Mexican character new to Them and
Huerta has stood out prominently as an object for
study 1t is fair to that since the days of Santa
Anna the United States has had such man to deal
with and it may further be affirmed that thus far
he has outgeneraled the peculiar craftsmanship we
now have at Washington
OF honesty or sincerity patriotism there is not
a trace in Huertas character. Politics to him is
game to be played and he has yielded to the med-
ators as part of his game with the state department
at Washington. He knows too, that he plays his
game literally with rope around his neck, for the
rebel lines closing in upon him and his fate Is
sealed if he is taken in his capital.
Long delay in the negotiations means time for the
clearance Americans out of Mexico and the assent
of our government to mediation will have a moral
effect only in Mexico but throughout all Spanish
America where sentiment is anti-American. This Will
be to advantage, besides more thorough military
preparation 1t holds for us some prospects OF
settlement of our embryonic in some honor
able to our nation without the necessity for an ad-
vance into Mexico and the spilling of blood.

THE RESIGNATION OF COMMISSIONER FERRIS.

An admittedly honest and capable public official
is lost the people of Jersey City in the retirement
OF James j. Ferris director of streets and public I'M
provements from the Board of Commissioners Com
missioner Ferris resigned because by continuing to
serve he would, in his judgment be working under a
cloud and this would repugnant to his conscience
and fine sense of honor.
The vagaries and inscrutabe ways of the so-called
'Wash act" amended and patched as it so often has
been are primarily responsible for the withdrawal
from field of usefulness of man whose faithfuness
and efficiency have justly received the highest COM
mendaton.
Failure to enact remedial legislation to pass law
that would counteract the clause in the walsh act
that prohibits official of a commissions governed
City from conducting private business far as deal
ings with concerns that might have contracts with
the city are involved, forced the issue.
Commissioner Ferris, who is a building contractor,
was interested in work of construction and material
furnishing with the Pennsylvania railroad and other
utility corporations.
The commissioner had declared that if the restric-
lions were not removed he would resign commits
soner and true to his word he yesterday rendered his
resignation. to take effect May 4.
Efforts on the part of his colleagues and nluen-
tial business men of Jersey City to induce him to
change his mind unavailing. He was determined
not to serve under the shadow that the cloudy walsh
act" cast upon the work of public officials.
II mattered not to Mr. Ferris that he could con-
tnue his duties a commissioner as the prohbitive
clause provides penalty for violation thereof it
was sufficient for his of propriety and dignity
that it stgmatzed a yioator of its provisions as a
wrong-doer That his course reflects credit upon his
character and his deep appreciation of the eternal fit
ness of things, is an ndisputabe fact. The crimes
itself is exaetng in its terms and limitations
as is this walsh act AS a deterrent to high-class
business men accepting public Office it goes further in
its effect than the most ardent "reforner' ever
dreamed of.
