FLOODS AND HIGH WINDS PLAY
HAVOC IN KANSAS AND
OKLAHOMA.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 29.-Snow,
ice and heavy transforms, accompa-
MED by high winds and followed by
floods in several places. have com
bined in the southwest during the
last thirty-six hours to delay traffic
and partially paralyze ~communica-
ton. Conditions were improving in
most of the affected places, however,
according to reports today, although
a further drop in the temperature eX-
pected by the local weather bureau
probably will add to the discomfort
caused by the freezing conditions al
ready prevailing.
Kansas City and vicinity are still
ice covered today, making traffic
precarious. A light snow began fall
ing late today in Oklahoma. All rail
roads, except one i'm the flooded sec
ton Of the state, operated trains to-
day. At Durant the Missouri, Okla
homa & Gulf railroad cancelled its
train schedule owing TO a washout
along the Blue river. A gas main,
which was broken between Kellyyille
and Depew by flood waters. was re-
paired tonight and communities west
of that point were being supplied
with a normal amount of gas.
So far as known only one life was
lost in the storm last night at Hart
shorne, Okla. Tony Antonias, an
Italian youth, was killed when a
church beneath which he had sought
shelter was moved from its founda-
ton by the wind. No loss of life in
the floods near McAlester are report
ed in the latest advices from that sec.
ton.

"'T"IPPERARY" SUNG IN
LATIN IN new YORK
Night Pupils and Professor
CaIiabOrate on Songs.

New York.-You can't keep a good
song down. When it has been trans
lated into all the living languages it
takes up the dead.
If whoever wrote 'Tipperary" will
visit the New York evening school in
De Witt Clinton high school, Tenth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street, he win
hear there almost any night this lyric
lilt-and wonder what has happened
TO the darling of his brain:
Tonga via al Tlpperarium.
Tonga via ibo:
Tonga via ad Tipperarium,
Ad puellam guam cognosco.
Vale Picidilium.
Vale Leicester Forum
Tonga via est al T-ipperarium
hi est cor meum.
Also, if he listens longer, he will
zeal Il Didn't Raise My Boy to BE ii
Soldier and the other songs of the mo
ment done into the purest Latin OF
Manhattan.
The explanation, if he asks one, is
that Professor Horace &. Wait. teacher
of Latin I'm both De Witt Clinton high
and the evening school, has discovered
the way to interest his pupils is 10
bring Latin up TO date. OF course.
Caesars legions may have sung the
same song as they realized how far 1t
was from London town to Ireland, but
even SO, thinks Professor Wait. TO put
''Tipperary" into Horace's tongue
brings the past more In line with the
present.
For several sessions lately the boys
and the professor have c0llaborated on
the translations Of popular songs ana
then have sung them to detect imper
fections In the rhythm. They will con
tinue TO adapt Broadway's best singing
songs to the Appian Way as long as
the songs and the Latin verbs hold ont.
AS for "Tipperary." even the German
lads In the class join in on the AID

SUICIDE CHANGED MIND.
Taste Of Carbolic Acid Showed Smith
He Didn't Want to Die.

Indianapolis. - Edward G.. Smith,
aged twenty-five, OF G52 North Jeffer-
son avenue, decided to commit suicide,
but quickly changed his mind after
he had tasted a small quantity of car
bolic acid.
The customary fateful note, in which
he attributed his dependency to a
| quarrel with his wife, was found in his
pocket.
Smith staged his attempt at suicide
In Il drug store at Illinois and Wash
ington streets. After the clerk had
sold him the acid he turned around and
held the upturned bottle to his lips.
A moment later he gave out a shrek,
threw the bottle and remaining bit Of
acid at the clerk and then fell against
the counter. An ambulance took him
to the city hospital
Physicians at the hospital said that
Smiths tongue was slightly burned,
but that he had not swallowed any of
the acid.

RECORDS IN
SALMON EGG TAKING
Hope This Years Fish Run In
Puget Sound VIII Increase.

Olympia. Wash.-All the salmon egg
taking " records of this state were
smashed this year as the result of the
enormous number of eggs obtained
from the Columbia river and the Grays
harbor districts, according to State
Fish Commissioner l.. III. Darwin.
Unprecedented November storms and
high water were handicaps. but ON the
Columbia river the state procured more
than 100000 salmon eggs. On Grays
harbor. where the Chehalis hatchery
last year took 22.591. 900 eggs. there
have been procured this year 10 date
100000 eggs, and all are now in the
hatcheries. The three large salmon
h~atcheries on Puget sound are busy
taking eggs. and ii is expected the rec.
ords viii be broken in this district. or
close to 5O.0OO,0Oe eggs procured.
1t Is expected that the hatcherieS this
winter will have 100000 600 salmon
eggs to are for. and the number OF
young fry will be the largest ever nur-
tured in the states history.
The entire product of the hatcheries
this winter will he released in Puget
sound next fall. BY SO doing it is
hoped TO increase the run Of salmon
there In spite of the heavy increase Of
salmon taken in recent years.

fEROCIOUS RABBITS
THEY ARE EATING DOGS AND
TREE AND STEALING THINGS
UP IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Wildrose, N. d.. Jan. 29.-Tree-
eating. dog-fighting and thieving rab-
bits are Fostering the farmers of this
district-and many and varied are
reports made of the activities of the
long-eared jacks.
That the rabbits are so numerous
as to cause losses TO farmers, is not
questioned, but some Of the stories
told are highly picturesque. For in
stance:
Jens Thompon sent his trusty shep-
herd dog after a big jackrabbit. For
fifteen minutes the jack gave battle
to the dog, but superior weight began
! to tell and the rabbit took to his
heels, but not until he had made life
rather miserable for his adversary.
Now Thompson's dog SHES clear OF
rabbits.
Hans Rice declares his dog. ordi-
narily a good hunter and fine scrap
per, won't venture to face a squad OF
rabbits that makes a nightly visit to
his premises, and which has been re
sponsible for heavy grain losses.
Ed Larson found fifty rabbits
around his haystack, the rabbits
making way with the hay in rapid
order.
Hans Rice also tells the story OF
rabbits eating trees, declaring he has
lost many trees in that manner, thu
rabbits climbing up on their hind feet
eating the bark and into the wood
with the result that the trees finally
fall over.
James Goebel, night Waterman, in
sists that rabbits are doing all the
scavenger work in the town, making
nightly visits to refuse cans. and that
they are coming in increasing mum
berS every night.

PRINCE GEORGE.

as long as Prince George remains young
and without experience in the grave
responsibilities of state the government
Is In dread Of possible complications.
Everything is being done TO give him
a full appreciation Of his duty as king.
Prince George has not seen his moth
err for several years, since her so called
memoirs" were published. She elop-
ed from the royal palace some years
ago with his tutor. Giron. and was di-
vorced by King Frederick, being com
PEELED to her title as crown
princess, her husband conforming upon
her the title of Countess of Month
gnoso. The king took charge of the
girl baby born to Louise after her
elopement. the child being christened
as the kings and given the name OF
Princess Anne Monique Pie. being in
cluded in the royal family and kept
away from the mother entirely.
Louise's later ~escapade in marrying an
Italian pianist. Toselli, the publicity
of a divorce from him and a fight for
the child born of this union, with the
publication Of her memoirs ridiculing
her husbands family, had the effect Of
completely alternating King Frederick
and his government from her. Com
parative poverty has kept her quiet in
recent years.
Prince Georges marriage has already
received a good deal OF attention by
his father and the Dresden court, since
1t is obviously wise to see him settled
down early with a prudent wife, whose
Influence would counteract any which
his mother would attempt TO exert. A
few months before the war 1t was said
hat informal negotiations had been
opened with the car for an alliance
between the heir to the Saxon throne
and the Grand Duchess Tatiana, the
cars second daughter. who will be
nineteen next May. a beautiful girl,
~vivacious and intelligent. This match
is, of course, quite impossible now, and
the prospective bride generally spoken
OF at this time is Princess Stephanie
Of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, the
daughter of Prince Karl Of Hohenzol.

WILSON PREPAREDNESS.
OPENING ADDRESS OF SERIES IN
NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. EN- his ad-
dresses here last night the president
attacked his critics, especially those
who have criticized his Mexican pol
icy, with secret vigor, using the
short and ugly word" in referring TO
men whom he declared had lied about
his policy, saying: This is a year
OF accounting and the accounting
must be definite on the part of the
parties and on the part of every in
dividual who wishes TO enjoy the pub
lie confidence.
Il hope hat every man In public
life will get what is coming to him. -
The president discussed his Mexi-
a policy vigorously. He asserted
that to invade Mexico would mean
the losing of the confidence of the
rest Of the western hemisphere.
He cited the freeing of Cuba as an
instance of good done by the United
States.
IF we are drawn into the mael-
strom, which nov surges in Europe,
we shall not be permitted to do the
high things we would prefer"
The president defended the CONT
mental army plan drawn up by Sec
rotary Garrison, and said that he did
not care about the details OF any plan
so long as SOC, 900 trained men were
provided as reserves under the fed
eral government.
He advocated the strengthening OF
the national guard, but said that the
constitution itself put the national
guard under state control. He added
that the United States will not turn
in the direction of militarism.
I'VE must prepare to defend our
rights as a nation and the rights OF
our citizens in America and outside

pie have defined them: We must in

Williams said he would not enlist
again, and that if he ever fought in
another war it would be for the
United States. He said he was going
to become a citizen.

VICTIM OF POISON GAS
AWFUL AGONIES OF SUFFERERS
DESCRIBED BY ONE
OF THEM.

New York World: David Williams
of Dublin. Ireland, of the Royal irish
rifles, describes for the World the
agonies suffered by a soldier who had
breathed poisonous gas on the battle
field. He says that among the Brit
ish troops the fear of shells and dunn
dunn bullets was nothing as compared
with the dread of the deadly fumes.
Williams enlisted with the Royal
Irish rifles at the beginning of the
war, after he had served three years
with the colors and been nine years
In the reserve army of Great Britain.
His time of service was up September
3 and he was discharged. He arrived
in New York on December %.
II was overcome with gas on June
&c." says Williams, and | can say
that no worse suffering can be
known. Our regiment was posted
near Ypres. The German trenches
were from twenty to seventy yards
from ours, and most of the fighting
was with hand %grenades. Then we
were moved down the line and were
prepared for a charge across a valley.

were piled high up in heaps, and the
bodies had lain so long as to become
almost unbearable. The respirators
we used then were similar to those
used by the Germans, except that
theirs hooked over the ears. while
ours rested below the neck, with a
wad of cotton that had to be held
between the teeth. The cotton was
soaked with b~icarbonate of soda. II
was hard to breathe with the respira-
tors and they hurt the eyes. On a
charge we hardly ever wore them.
1T was a calm day. and we could
see a sort of a haze hanging over the
valley, but it was not until we got in
to it that word came back that the
Germans were using gas. Suddenly
felt a great choke come up in my
throat and my knees trembled. My
eyes began to burn, my tongue swell
ed. my lips cracked and a stupor
seemed to come over my mind. Then
went under. When l woke up
