AUTOGRAPHED TURTLE
Bears Signatures of Hub Stanton and
 pr. Ross on Shell.

Monday morning Herbert H. Stanton, while walking on the c. N. B. tracks east of the Housatonic river, saw land turtle crossing the tracks. He picked it up and was astonished to find it was the same turtle on whose shell he had carved his initials and date, IS years ago. The letters and figures were prac tically as legible as on the day they were carved, though showing signs of we IT and time.
 The same turtle bore the full name, "H. L. Ross, 1897," which Dr. Ross had carv9l thereon IT years ago, hav- ing found the animal in Eugene Roots woods at that time and noticed Stanton s initials.
 The turtle was caught again in 1899 by some party who inscribed on the shell the initials, HI. F." with the date The identity of H. F. is not known to either Dr. Ross or MT. Stanton. About10 years ago the same turtle was captured by Charles H. Pease, on the east side of the river, and shown to Dr. Ross, who identified his autograph.
 The turtle has again been set at liberty and permitted to cover it's terri tory as the animated autograph album of the village.
 Apparently the turtle has not grown a particle since it acquired its first Stanton autograph, and there is no way of telling how old it may be. Turtles are reputed to attain to great age, and this fellow may be as old as Canaan Mountain, for all anybody knows to the contrary. It had lost one fore-foot entirely, and the claws from one hind foot, since, it was last seen by its Canaan friends.

Of
FIRE DISTRICTS
IS PLANNED
Committee to Take Up Proposal
to Motorize Apparatus and
Eliminate Downtown Station.

councilman Jesse b. Lee, chairman
Of the Fire Committee Of the City
Council, announced Saturday that a
meeting of the Fire Committee would
be held next week Among the i'm
portanJ items of business to be dis
cussed will be proposed a rearrange-
ment Of the present station districts
Of the fire department.
1t is proposed to motorize the APP
paratus in order to do away with one
OF the central stations probably the
one on Carnegie way-and TO en-
large the districts of the others.
Chairman Lee suggested Saturday
that all the steam engines be motor
lied and that the horses be sold
With this scheme he proposed to save
the city considerable money each
year.
He argued that the up-keep of mo-
tor apparatus was much less than
horses, also that such equipment
would enable the department to make
better time in responding to alarms
on the other hand. Mayor Wood
ward favored the idea of keeping the
horses for the steam engines and
placing motor trucks in all the out
lying stations,
among the other items to be con-
sdercd is the revision of the theater
fire laws.

Ulster is one OF the largest
counties in ireland. For more
than 800 years Ulster and neigh
boring counties have been bitterly
antagonistic to the rest of ireland.
This feeling has been caused
mainly by the fact that these
northern counties are non-Cath-
Ollie in religion. while Ireland is,
Of course, largely Catholic.
Home rule for ireland is about
to become law Of Great Britain.
Ulster, through it's member in

WILSON SILENCE
POLICY HIT BY
LAFOLLETTE

MILWAUKEE,, March 21.-The
following editorial by Senator LaFol-
lette, under the heading, "A Policy of
Silence" appears in the current issue
of LaFollette's Weekly:
why not let the public know every
fact in the possession Of the Gov
eminent regarding the Mexican sit
uation? What good purpose can be
served by a continued policy of mys-
terry and silence? Can not the Ad-
mlnistration rely upon the patriotism
and sound sense of the American
people? Would not President VIII
son be in a stronger position to-day
If, during the last six months, he had,
from time to time, by special mes
sage informed Congress and the
country fully as to conditions in Mex
leo, in so far as the interests OF
American citizens and the interests
and respon sibilities of the American
Government are involved?
Constant Danger.
Events of recent occurrence in
Mexico admonish us that at any mo-
ment that may transpire which will
compel the fullest publicity as to the
loss of life and property for which
the Government must assume some
measure of primary responsibility to
foreign powers, as we'll as to its own
people,
Are we not in danger OF holding
back the facts until some sweeping
act of violence uncovers a grewsome
mass of wrong and horror that will
carry us with rush across the Rio
Grande?
I'VE avoided war with Spain while
Cuba was for nearly a quarter OF a
century in revolt against the Spanish
Government.
our commerce with Cuba, amount
ing to more than a hundred million
dollars annually was totally destroy
ed Millions of dollars worth OF
American property in Cuba was laid
waste. American citizens were i'm
prisoned and cruelty maltreated.
Easier With Confidence.
Others were killed, and still
American craftsmanship avoided war
with Spain througout that long pc
rlod And the American people sus-
tanned the Administration of both
parties in Withholding intervention.
when war came it came with the
blowing up of the Maine. and the kill

should a crisis come in the Mexi-
can situation 1t is my firm belief that
President Wilson would find it in
hnitely easier to control with steady
hand, If, in advance, he had reposed

gent Judgment every act and fact
