HAS BLACK SNAKE
FOR HOUSE PET

SALEM. n. j., Nov. "A black
snake found its way to the ceiling
between the plaster and roof at the
home OF Clifford Flitcraft. near
Daretown, and had made Its home
there for a long time. The family
had heard peculiar noises. but
thought they were made by rats OF
mice. While repairs were being
made to the ceiling a hole was cut
and the snake poked its head
through.
1t was despatched and was found
to measure 81 inches. the longest
ever seen In this section. The sup
position Is that the reptile crawled
up from the ground between the
weatherboards and plaster.

Annesley vacheii. A story Of a
mars life and a girl and another
man.
George Spragge Is a native Cali
fornian who lives on a ranch with
his mother and cousin and whose
life has run In easy and useful
channels until a girl from the city
plays upon his feelings and tries TO
alter its course. Naturally, he falls
In love with her and she could have
done what she liked with him, but
she tires of the game and longs for
the exotic city product in one
Stocker. This part Of the story is
hackneyed and rather tamcly writ
ten. but life in :, the canyon. the
sterling characters of George. his
mother and Samantha, the shrewd
wisdom and splendid courage of all
and their simple, happy life until
the advent OF the girl, make a story
worth reading.
The author, Horace Annesley
vachell, Is an Englishman, but there
are none OF the ear marks which
usually proclaim that fact In the
first chapter. Mr.. vachell has lived
on . California ranch for years and
was apparently able to take the air
with the deep breath OF an Ameri-
can. "Spragge's Canyon" George

NO GERMAN NOTE ON
ARABIC SITUATION


NEW YORK, oct 4--Germany has
sent no new note to the United states
regarding the Arabic case and the inn
perial Eoyoruments submarine policy,
but instead, County Won Benstorff,
the German Ambassador, has been
given fun authority to carry the ne
gotiatous to a conclusion without
further reference to his home govern
mcnt, accordin to statement to-
night from an authoritative source
close to the ambassador.
When Secretary of State Lansing
and Count Won BcrnstOrff met here
last Saturday, the ambassador turned
over to Mr.. Lansing some material,
part Of which was in writing, but this
was in the nature of personal mCm-
orandum, it is understood, and not a
: formal communication from Berlin.
Further IT was said tonight that
no note is expected from Germany,
County Won Bcrnstorff having been
clothed with fun powers
That Secretary Lansing now has
under consideration some important
information was admitted, although
it was pointed out that this neCcssar-
lily would be the ease in view Of the
situation. Until the negotiations now
being conducted have reached q con-
clusion, nothing will be made public
concerning the proposals being dis
Cussed, It was asserted.
Count Won Berustorff is still in this
city When questioned tonight re
garding the negotiations he said that
he had made no public statement
concerning the matter and could not
do so at this time
