Stone
Crashed Through Window At
Barber & Co.

Mr.. George Donp of the Barber
wholesale Grocery Co, was startled
Saturday afternoon when large-sized
stone smashed against the window,
near which he was working, breaking
tue pane, narrowly missing him. He
rushed quickly to the door, but nobody
was In sight and the identity of the
suilty person was still mystery.
Since no one had passed by the store
for short time preceding the Incl.
Cent, Mr.. Doup finally came to the
conclusion that one OF the wheels Of
passing automobile had struck the
stone a side blow, giving 1t enough
force to send II through the window.

Japansa laIes Of Pines.

Matsushima is regarded as one of the sankei. or three most beautiful places in Japan. And it we'll deserves this reputation. for there are indeed few fafrer natural scenes on earth. It reminds, the traveller of the Thousand isles of Canada and the English lakes all in one. Here innumerable pine clad islands lift their fronded faces through the purple haze over a sea of silver green, and when the sun sets, throwing the myriad islands into a golden glow, the mind is charmed to ecstasy. Matsushtma bay is more than six miles long and five wide, and to visit all the hundreds of islands that adorn the surface of the sea in this place would take years. Yet one may see the best part of Matsnshima in TWO or three days if one knows how. Japan Magazine.

Washington, Dec. 0-Representat1ve Gardner addressed the House today on the question of investigating of the preparedness of the nation for war. He declared the President had set up I "a bogeyman of straw and that If be found our coast defenses have not sufficient ammunition for an hours fighting
 We must depend in every time of national peril upon citizenry trained and accustomed to arms, says the President Representative Gardner said s.But how are we to get enough l citizenry as he calls us ordinary peo- s pie? Does the President realize that there are only 10000 nailitiamen in this whole nation? Does he understand that 23,000 of them did not even show Does he know that S1 ,000 dld not ap- pear at the annual encampment? Is he aware that 53 GOO or nearly half of { this citizenry, never appeared at the rife range during the whole course Of : last year?
 ssWhere is this, citizenry to get the wearons of war?

That iFnmodest demand was gently but firmly rejected.

I last for a single days battle if all our guns were engaged, but will say that l such is the statement which has been. made to me by one of the highest officers in the United States army. I l do not, however, hesitate to assert that I if war were to break out today if would be found that our coast de- l lenses have not sufficient ammunition for an hours fighting. The chief Of staff tells us that the Ammunition for the coast defense mortars would last one-ha.f hour and for the coast de- fense guns three=quartets of an. i hour.,'

CRANE GO. SYMPHONIES TO HAVE TEN PER
 CENT. ON CHRISTMAS

With the announcement from fChi- cago yesterday that $650.000 had been put aside by the Crane company for distribution among ten thousand em- ployes. it was learned that $195, GOO is to be distributed in Bridgeport, which is the largest sum yet divided under the plan originated by R. T. Crane, Sr
 The amount will approximate 10 per cent .of the salary of those among whom it is distributed, rather than 5 per cent. as has heretofore been ag- ured. The larger amount this year is given as a recompense for the short time many of the men have been com pel1ed to work.
