but when the dragon began to swing
like a pendulum, fed to the refugee
camp in the alley. Allensworth had
gone for help and Sutherland for a
physician, for he was told that the
bite carried venom. The six-inch
fin, smeared along the creatures back
was standing up straight with indigna-
ton and in the cleaning his fierce
eyes shot bolts OF terror to the en-
tire crowd
After being in possession Of the
buffet for about ten minutes, the
dragon tired of his suspension act
and got down on the floor In the mo-
ment of repose Sutherland and three
others executed a coup, and while
AllenswOrth held the box open the
monster was loaded into the cage
while suspended by the fn'
DeHes Discipline.
The owner located the buffet he had
left the pct in and assured the men
in the place that the animal was very
harmless. He started to feed him
bananas and the dragon did the same
trick he had played on sutherland.
The committee Of safety compelled
the owner to remove the dragon. In
the meantime Allensworth is describ-
ing the Chinese national animal in a
way that puts Mr.. Roosevelt's nut
cracking bird In the pale.

LIQUOR QUESTION.
BIG ISSUE IN
MICHIGAN
Dry Petition with $4,000 Sign
erS Makes Old Time Pol
itiCianS Ponder.

DETROIT, Mich, July l5.-The bat
tie between the wet and dry forces in
Michigan promises to have far
reaching effect in the fortunes Of can
didates in both parties.
The filing Of petition with $4,000
dry signatures, requesting that the is
sue be put up to the people OF Mich
igan at the November elections, was
the opening gun OF campaign which
bids fair to make the old time politi-
clans reminiscent.
That the wet element is thoroughly
aroused over the seriousness Of the Sit
uation to their cause is evidenced by
increased activity in securing speak
ers and candidates who possess liber-
al views. 1t is stated that State Sen
ator James Murtha, Of Detroit, was
offered $500 for a single speech in
advocacy of the wet cause.
Murtha TO Manage Vets.
Murtha. who is an orator and one OF
the strongest men in the Democratic
party, has been quoted as being anx-
ious to run as a gubernatorial candi-
date on a straight wet platform, dunn
founded liquor leaders by declining
the offer and criticising the manner
in which their campaign has been con-
Quoted, 1t is now said that the De-
trolt senator will become manager OF
the wet campaign in Michigan.
His acceptance as leader OF the wet
forces brings disappointment to DEM
ocratic party leaders, who had picked
him to run for the gOvernorship in the
place of Governor Ferris, should the
latter adhere to his determination to
become candidate for third term.
Surprise is expressed over the small
number of candidates who have filed
petitions for various Offices thus far,
While July 90 is the last day on which
petitions can be filed, the applicants
are far behind numerically compared
to other years.
Sleeper Wide Awake.
A. E. Sleeper Of Bad Axe, Repub-
lican candidate for governor, has
turned a clever campaigning stunt on
his rivals. Headquarters have been
established at the Hotel Statler, De-
troit and all Michigan visitors are i'm
mediately tagged and hurried to the
Sleeper booth to sign his petition. This
move has the double barreled object
of securing many names on Sleeper's
petition and getting in touch with the
voters.
This invasion Of Frank B. Leland's
territory naturally does not make
hit with the supporters Of Detroits
candidate for governor, and his many
friends are devising ways and means
to counterfeit Sleeper's action by max
ing raid on the Thumb, where the
latter enjoys his greatest popularity.

What Henry Think. Of Petitions.

Senator Kenyon has presented pc

in favor of an embargo on arms, which

value of petition. for it is well known
that almost anyone will sign petition
and without Rowing anything concern
ing it's purport or meaning. What did
the average person signing the petit
ion know about international law or US
ages and its probable effect upon the
country if we should ever be engaged

Secretary Of War and President
Unable to Agree.
QUESTION OF PREPAREDNESS
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge Ap
proves Position Of His Chief
and Also Retires.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Secretary of
War Lindley NJ. Garrison has resign
ed from the Wilson cabinet. The resig-
nation has been accepted.
Differences between the president
and the secretary of war over the
question of preparedness and the
Philippine independence legislation
were responsible for the break.
At the same time that he accepted
the resignation the president received
and accepted the resignation of Henry
Breckenridge, assistant secretary of
war. Mr. Breckinridge gave as his
reason the fact that he endorses alb
solutely the position assumed by Mr..
Garrison and, like the latter, regarded
the differences as being irreconcilable.
Action by the president in prac-
tically withdrawing administration
support from the Garrison continental
army plan, and manifesting willing
ness to treat with the opponents OF
the plan on the basis Of proposal to
increase the national guard at the
expense of the proposed continental
army, is understood to have precipi-
tated the break.
Although it has been rumored for
some time that Secretary Garrison felt
that the president was not giving his
army preparedness program the sup
port to which it was entitled news of
the resignation struck official Wash
ington like thunderbolt
BY the advocates of national defense
and preparedness it is regarded as the
severest blow that could be struck.
Secretary Garrison was regarded by
them as the most forceful advocate of
the cause. From the time he entered
the cabinet and became acquainted
with the weakness Of the present ar
my system he has been a consistent
champion of bigger regular army
and an adequate reserve under federal
control.
