I. R. Kills Moose TO Save Own
Life and Breaks Canadian Law

Quebec-How Colonel Roosevelt had
to break the game laws of Quebec on
his recent visit here and kill an extra
moose to save his own life is told in an
affidavit sworn to by himself and his
two guides and deposited with the fish
and game branch in the Parliament
buildings in Quebec.
According to the statements, the
Colonel, who was the guest of the
Tourilli Club, had already killed the
one moose allowed him by law and was
returning with his two guides in a
canoe, when he sighted another moose
at some distance. 1t was expected
that as soon as the latter got their
wind it would make away, but it
showed no signs of fear and attempted
to charge when the canoe came near.
Colonel Roosevelt, thinking to scare
it, fred over its head, but this only
seemed to infuriate it. As the canoe
was halfway down the stream, the ami
NAL appeared in front of it and began
his charge about 80 feet distant. The
moose kept on and then the ex-presi-
dent, realizing, as he said afterward,
that it was either his life or that of
the angry beast, gave him the quietus
with shot through the head.

In its construction 610, 900 cubic yards
of concrete was used, in addition to
great masses of steel and rock. It is
to be dedicated with fitting ceremonies

Above the dam in the basin of the
Boise river there is three billion feet
of merchantable timber, while the mill
is at Barber, IA miles below. An in
genious device is constructed at one
end of the dam to pick the logs from
the reservoir, carry them over the top
and send them through a concrete
chute to the river below. It is plan
ned to handle go. 900. 900 feet q year
in this way. ------
At the opposite end is spillway to
carry the surplus water around the
dam when the reservoir is full. Gates
in this work automatically and thus
eliminate all danger from high water.
Outlets at different elevations in the
dam, operated from chambers inside,
release the stored water as it is needed
for irrigation. The system includes
minor dams, network of canals and
drainage.

Right Of Sinking Arabic Is Not
Disavowed by Berlin.
FINAL REFUSAL MAY CAUSE RUPTURE
Washington Is Secretive Concerning
New Diplomatic Moves Bern.
storff Called to Consult.

Washington, d. G. -- Germany has
failed to satisfy the request Of the
United States that the sinking Of the
Arabic, with loss Of American lives,
be disavowed and liability for the act
assumed by the Imperial government.
This became known after a confer
ence Monday between President Will
son and Secretary Lansing, at which
the latter submitted note given him
in New York by Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador.
No announcement was made after
the White House conference. Secre-
tary Lansing said merely that 1t was
inadvisable to comment on the situa-
tion while the negotiations were still
confidential. He declined to say what
the next step would be, but it was
learned later the German Ambassador
would be asked to come to Washington
soon to receive the view which the
American government takes Of the last
German note.
Count Won Bernstorff is fully author
ized by his government to conduct the
submarine negotiations.
The situation has improved to the
extent that there is no danger of an
immediate break in diplomatic rela-
tions, as the note affords an oppor-
tunity for further negotiations.
It was said reliably that final re-
fusal by Germany to meet the Ameri-
can viewpoint on the Arabic case
might bring about the threatened rup-
ture in diplomatic relations.
Just what the details are on which
the two governments are in conflict
was not definitely known, because
secrecy has enveloped the negotiations.
In general, it was learned that Ger
many, after examining the evidence
submitted by the United States, came
to the conclusion that her submarine
commander erred in assuming that the
Arabic was intent on ramming the
German submarine when steering to
rescue the passengers on the British
steamer Dunsley.

FLEEING CONVICT SHOOTS TO DEATH
SUPERINTENDENT OF PfNITHTlARY

Salem, Or.--Harry Mimic, superin
tendent Of the Oregon penitentiary
was shot and killed at $50 Tuesday
night few miles north Of Albany, by
Otto Hooker. an escaped convict.
A few hours earlier, Hooker had
shot and perhaps fatally wounded J. j.
Benson, city marshal Of Jefferson.
After Hooker had shot Marshal Ben
son, Superintendent Minto started d.
rectly for Albany to head of the fugi-
tive convict. Returning north from
Albany In company with Guard John
son, he came upon Hooker.
Mimic and the convict opened fire at
about the same time, Mimic using a
shotgun and the convict revolver.
A bullet hit Minto in the head, kill
ing him instantly. Hooker escaped
amid hail Of shots fred by Guard
johnson. Hooker evidently was not
hit. He was seen an hour later near
Millersville station, some distance
south Of Jefferson.
The gun with which Hooker killed
Mimic had been taken from Marshal
Benson at Jefferson, the convict hav-
ing shot the officer while they were
scufiling.
Hooker escaped from a gang Of 25
convicts grubbing brush a mile south
Of the penitentiary.
When Hooker slipped into the brush
from tho field where the gang Of pris-
oners was at work, he was not missed
Immediately. Later when the alarm
was sounded, Superintendent Minto
rushed to the scene In an automobile.

Amsterdam, via London - Airmen
Of the entente allies have again bom-
barded Bruges, Belgium. The sudden
cessation Of the flow of gas at Sluis,
on the Belgian frontier, which is sup
piled from Bruges, led to the suspicion
here that bombs from the air craft
struck the gas works, and a message
received later from Bruges confirmed
this belief.
The whole city has been thrown in

GIBSON COUNTY is
WON BY MCCLELLAN
after DAYS WORK
News Scimitar Specially

Humboldt, Tenn, Oct. o.
Thomas j. Walsh, state senator
in the famous legislature of 1918,
and one Of Humboldt's leading
Democrats, today declared that
Gibson is now solid behind
Kenneth D. Mcclellan in his race
for the United States senate.
Mr.. Walsh believes Mr., Me-
Kellar is a sure winner. In his
introduction of Mr.. Mcclellan
here last night to a large crowd
at the city auditorium, Mr.. Walsh
said: IF | don't misread the
signs of the times, he will sweep
the state, like he will old Gibson,
by the most magnificent majority
ever given a candidate for this
high office"
About 625 persons heard Mr.
Mcclellan speak last night. Their
attitude was that they came to
see what kind of man the SHELBY
countian was. After he had been
speaking ten or fifteen minutes
MS crowd commenced to applaud,
and before he was half through
IA large majority were for him
He won them by his convincing
manner, his clean record, and
partly by the misdeeds of his
opponents.
1t can safely be said that Hum
boldt is McKellar's city today, and
that by conquest.
MAKES TWO TALKS
Mr.. Mcclellan made two speech
es yesterday, the first being at
Alamo in the afternoon, when he
addressed capacity crowd in the
Crockett courtroom. In this
speech Mr.. Mcclellan kept close
to his usual address, and was
forced to abbreviate his speech
somewhat in order to make
train at Bells. He was motered
to that place at a breakneck speed,
and then succeeded in getting on
the train only after it was in
motion. He was forced to leap
into the haopage car. the doors of
the day coaches having been
closed.
On the reception committee
that welcomed Mr.. Mcclellan at
Alamo we're ]. J. Wainwright,
W. A. Wainwright, w. w. Whit
ley, G. Avery, ]. 0. Smothers,
Arnett McClahahan, J. F. Agee
and others. He was introduced
by ]. 0, Smothers.
CONDEMN CARTOON.
Mr.. Mcclellan condemned a
rather lurid cartoon appearing
yesterday in the Tennessean,
where Mr.. Mcclellan was repre-
sented in an almost libelous way
"The good people Of Tennessee
are not going to be hoodwinked
Into believing what is not so"
declared Mr.. Mcclellan in this
connection.
At the conclusion of his speech
at Humboldt, Miss Katherine

Riaht Way to Drop Hook.

One of the most common faults of
amateurs in the realm of seamanship
is to let go the anchor while the vessel
is still going ahead, says Outing. This
is not only sloppy and unseamanlike,
but it is very likely to involve one in
difficulties later on, because when the
vessel settles back over her hook"
she is apt to catch turn of the an.
chor-rope around a huke or arm and
then the anchor will drag under at the
least provocation. The proper method
Of coming to anchor is to round up to
the wind or tide according to which
is the controlling force), bring the
vessel to stop and even have slight
sternway on her before singing out
Let go!" Then the anchor will go
down fair and its chain or rope will
tail out straight as the vessel swings
off before the wind or tide

EARLY CORN BEST FOR SEED
More Apt to Be Well Cured Before
Hard Freezes-IrreguIar Kernels
Should Always Be Rejected.

After the seed corn is husked, 1t
should be dried before hard freezes,
though early corn is apt to be well
cured in the shock if the shock has
stood up we'll No seed should be saved
from down shocks, even when the ears
look good on the outside. The germ is
next the cob. We have learned from
experience that grains with dark
points may sprout in the tester, but
they send up weak sprouts and are not
reliable.
A simple way Of drying and storing
seed corn for home use is to fill coarse
burlap sacks and suspend them in the
barn by a single wiAe. Mice will some
times descend double wire and take
the germs from your best kernels. OF
course, corn should not be sacked
when at all damp and less than a
bushel should not be placed in sack,
says a writer in an exchange. This
method would seem tedious to seed
corn growers, no doubt, but it will be
of use to many small farmers.
The final selection of corn for seed
should be made next spring when the
sacks of ears are opened and the ears
shelled. Some defects will likely appear
then which were not noticed this fall.
Irregular kernels should then be re-
jected as they may lodge in the planter
and cause a poor stand For this rea-
son tips and butts should be rejected
and all doubtful ears should be tested.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Oct, To-
Congressman Kenneth D. Nickel
lar is in Chattanooga today, shak-
ing hands with his many friends
in Hamilton county, and a large
visiting delegation from the adioin-
ing counties of lower East Ten
nessee.
Mr.. Mcclellan speaks tonight at
the city auditorium here, and his
followers predict that he will re-
ceive larger audience than heard
Lea or Patterson. A short time
before the speaking begins a big
illuminated auto parade will be
held to escort Mr.. Mcclellan from
his hotel to the auditorium. Two
hundred automobiles have been
promised to take part in the event.
Many leading citizens of Chatta-
nooga will occupy the platform
with Mr.. Mcclellan, and he will
be- introduced by R, B. Cook, a
leading Democrat and attorney,
who was a regular" candidate for
supreme court in 1910,
Every effort is being made by
the Chattanoogans to give Mr..
McKellar hearty send.off, which
will be the conclusion OF his cam.
pagn in East Tennessee.
SERIES ON TRIUMPHS.
Mr.. McKellar's tour of East
Tennessee has been one series Of
triumphS, and Yesterday he was
warmly welcomed in three counties
making speech in each Of the
three.
Etowah, in McMinn county, was
not on his shedule, but on passing
through there on his way toeBen-
ton, he stopped for several hours,
and on the earnest solicitation Of
leading citizens, consented to speak
at noon. An audience of $50, com
posed mostly Of union men from a
railway shop, listened attentively
to the congressman. He made a
speech suited to his audience,
touching chiefly on labor ques.
tons.
At night Mr.. Mcclellan spoke at
Cleveland and was accorded an
audience Of over 500. The Bradley
courtroom was packed, the corrid-
ors we're famed, and probably a
hundred were turned away because
tley could not get within hearing
distance. Mr.. Mcclellan was intro
duced by the Rev. DIX Barney
Thompson, president of the Cen
tenary college.
DR.. Thompson said Mr.. Nickel
lar was conscientiously for Wood
row Wilson, and said that the
minds of these men were so much
alike that they naturally favored
the same kinds OF constructive leg
islation. Supporters of Mr. Nc
Kellar and the congressman him
self were gratifed at the result o.
Thursdays campaign. The con-
gressmsn's open manner, his con.
vincing manner OF speaking and
his friendliness to all be met, I'M
