DOG DIES SAVING CHILDREN
Collie Hero Crushed by Auto and Shot
to Death by Policeman After
Warning Of Peril.

San Francisco.-Daddie, a fine col
lie, owned by ]. Wiener, of this city,
gave up his life in an effort to prevent
several children from being run down
by a speeding automobile.
While playing with the children,
Laddie saw the onrushing automobile,
and frantically attempted to warn the
children from the course of the ma
chine. The children all reached places
Of safety, but Laddfe was struck and
crushed by the automobile. At first
Laddie appeared to be dead, but when
a policeman and humane officer were
lifting the dog into the dead wagon he
recovered consciousness, and in hfs
suffering he snapped at the two men.
Then the officers drew their pistols
and shot Laddfe.

century religion. No miracle will be
found In It,
Men of science" says Doctor Eliot,
have no faith In magic or miracle.
mo thinking person now accepts as
anything but primitive myth or fanci-
full poetry the story OF the Garden Of
Eden or the portrait OF God In the sec
ond chapter of Genesis as being who
formed man out of the dust of the
ground as a child fashions an image
out of snow OF clay.
The Creator is for modern men a
sleepless, active energy and will which
yesterday and forever actuates all
things. The human spirit actuates its
own body, so small and yet so incon-
cetvably complex.
by savage man the gods were REQ
ognized chiefly IN the irresistible
catastrophes Of nature; In the light
ming, the earthquake, the flood and
the drought, the volcano and the
mighty wind.
Twentieth century people recognize
God chiefly In the wonderful energies
OF sound, light and electricity; In the
vital processes of plants and animals;
In the human love and aspirations,
and In the evolution of human soci-

Dr.. Eliot Asserts Garden of Eden

Story of Making Man Of Dust

Boston-Dr. Charles w. Eliot, presi-
dent emeritus of Harvard, whose previ-
ous articles and lectures on the future

sion, reports now that the biblical
story OF the Garden of Eden is a myth.
In an article printed by the Ameri-

he says:
God did not make man out of the
dust of the ground.
God did not turn stonemason and
give into the hands OF Moses the ten
commandments.
Neither did the sun stand still for
Joshua
Neither did Jonah go through his
thrilling experience in the close quar-

In Hawaii we are made aware of the

she is reminded rather of a crowd Of
Romeos besieging a Juliet. The Ro-

Sandwich Islands as an independent
state" Close to independence Day

brated by all, the divers races in Ha

New Englander's harvest festival.
And now for the one great holiday
of all the year.
With US islanders, as with you OF

MAN SIGNED COROT'S NAME
Masters" May Sometimes Be
Produced.

London.-Because the testimony
was contradictory the jury In a pc
culiar case involving a bogus sigma
ture of Corot to a picture could not
agree and the case must drag along
IN the courts unless IL Is settled or
dropped. The case came up In the
Greenwich county court, when DR.. The
obald Fisher of Sidcup sued Freder-
lex Stinson, a picture dealer, Of Lee
green and Sidcup for $50 damages.
Counsel said the picture was one
formerly in the collection of the late
Mr.. Gillett of Birmingham. The pic
ture was unsigned. but on the back
was the word Corot. Plaintiff gave
about ESQ for 1t.
In April plaintiff let defendant have
IT, still unsigned, to sell, defendant to
receive a commission. Subsequently
he told plaintiff he had an offer of
& rs and plaintiff said he would accept
that. Defendant then said he had put
the signature "Corot" on the face or
the picture, because he thought 1t
was real Corot and it would entice
people 10 buy. No sale resulted, but
when plaintiff saw the picture again
it had the word "Corrot" in bright red
in the left hand bottom corner. The
signature was obviously new, and
plaintiff told defendant he must re-
move 1t. Later the picture arrived at
plaintiffs house with the signature
gone and the corner of the picture
damaged
Plaintiff and others gave evidence
that there was no signature on the pic
ture.
Defendant however, declared that
when the picture arrived at his shop
the name ''Corot'' was on the face
of It. Indeed. when plaintiff asked
him to sell II he showed him a photo
graph of It on which the signature
could be seen. He was unable to of"
feet sale and later plaintiff asked
him If he thought the signature genu-
inc. Witness told him he thought 1t
was not. Plaintiff asked him to re-
move it, and witness told him he
could do 1t himself, and plaintiff did,
In fact, remove the signature with
methylated spirits and cotton wool.
After an hours deliberation the jury
said they were unable to agree.

When the motor ceased to hum, the mono

then dropped toward the earth with
frghtful speed.
After falling 1000 feet the plane rolled
into a sideslip and finally the plucky avia-

Against the advice OF Captain Thomas
Baldwin and r. K McIlroy, New York
agent for the Curtiss Aeroplane Company,
Niles tnkered with the motor and started
up again. This time he rose to an alt'-
tude OF seventy feet and sailed straight
away across the field.
When less than a half mile from the
hangers his motor stalled again and he
attempted to volplane TO the ground.
From his position in the machine II

practically paralyZe business and mean

Mr.. Rockefeller is understood to have
repeated the views he aired before a

rights and tried to prevent men who
