gain of 1888 over the last census,

total of 1909. There are 361 Russiana

Of the foreign population is divided
among Norwegians, Swiss, Swedes.
Dutchmen, Greeks, Persians, Koreans,
Belgians, Rumanians, Egyptians, Arm

BELIEVE GERMANS
TRYING TO SMUGCLE

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, jan S.-Al-
Legations that German agents are
trying to smuggle copper and other
contraband form the United States in
to Germany by shipping it first to a
Swedish port disguised as unprohibit-
ed foodstuffs have resulted in the
stricted surveillance of all incoming
ships by the Swedish government
The Andrew Welch, an American
steamer which arrived recently at
Halmstead from Philadelphia is still
detained at the former port pending
detailed examination of an alleged
cargo of beans.
She was sighted off Halmstad,
cruising about for no apparent reas-
or, and when questioned by the COM
nlander of a Swedish torpedo boat the
captain said he had orders to wait
there. Soon afterwards large Ger
Tlan tug came up to the Sound and
made for the Andrew WEIGH. The cap
tain af the tug was equally ignorant
of the reason for sending him to a
point off HOMESTEAD, but denied that
he had rendezvous with the Amert-
can ship.
The Swedish naval authorities
thereupon brought the Andrew Welsh
into Halmstead and the German tug
disappeared in southerly direction.
= cursory examination of the Andrew
Welsh showed that she carried beans,

LONDON, Jan. Sin many govern

temporarily to fill the places of clerks
WHO have enlisted, preference is given
to relations of the absent men. Kinship
to civil servants over military age, or
otherwise ineligible for military ser
wee also is an advantage, other things

in great numbers.
Indeed, one important department in
which the family element is very pro-
nounced, is now referred to in the ser

The Public
Safety ValUe
Editor Times-Recorder:

Editor Times-Recorder:
Have you ever observed the horses
and mules that are driven over our
country roads and through our
country roads and through our streets.
If we haven't been observing them,
let us open our eyes; most of us enjoy
looking at fine team of sleek mules
pulling their heavy loads over ur
good roads with perfect ease, or a fine
spirited horse harnessed to light
buggy trotting so easy and graceful.
There is another class of horses and
mules that are driven (or forced u.s.
ually with limb or heavy whip)
over our thoroughfares, that is not so
pleasing to our eyes.
The writer saw one of these crea-
lures driven to buggy less than {
week ago, the horse had been faith
full animal, but is now blind and so
poor if it were to fall down it couldn't
possibly get up, but it was going; yes,
trotting, its hips were skinned and it
reeled at every step, but yet it must
go.
If we will open our eyes and look
about, we will find numbers of ami
mails in this shape.
Isn't there some way that we can
play the part of Good Samaritan to
such stock as this? They should be
put out of their life of misery and tor
ture, or their owners forced to provide
for them and quit working them till
they are able to go back in the har-
ness.
OF course, there is law against
VI uCl CdILlClL vi ethll1uio anu
times such a case reaches our courts,
but it is usually case where the
owner has whipped his horse or mule
nearly to death.
1t is just as cruel to starve a crea-
ture as to beat it to death.
Starving an animal to death is as
if we should shut a man up in cage
and place all kinds of food On the out
side and let him starve, looking at
what would give him life, just so with
the horse; he is in the lot or barn or
in the harness with bit in his mouth,
starving to death with the grass, corn
and grain fields before his eyes a nd
yet not allowed to touch or taste;
isn't that misery?
Let us hope that our grand jurymen
al lawmakers will open their eyes
and look about and do something for

but members of the crew told the
Swedish customs inspectors that the
weight of the bags mad caused some
comment among them, and they
thought there might be other things
inside"
Enormous quantities of non-contra-
band foodstuffs from America have
been going into Germany from Sweden
during the last six weeks, including
preserved fruits from the Pacific
coast, coffee and tea. Imports of Am
erican coal are increasing, owing to
the continued ban on British coal by
the British government. Germany is
sending cargoes of Belgian coal from
Lubbock and Stettin to Malmo but it
is of inferior quality and the demand
for American coal is growing. Ten
thousand tons arrived at Malmo this
seek.
The activity of British commercial
agents, whom the Swedes call com
mercial spies" has caused great irri-
tatiOn here. Several have been ex-
PEELED because of their activity in
shadowing" cargoes unloaded at Co
thenburg and other ports. American
buyers are carefully watcher and
their negotiations with Swedish bust
ness men followed in detail.

cides being an unusually fine girl, the

Her great grandmothers are Mrs.

Mr.. and Mrs. French are undecided
on name for the little visitor. Ba j.,

grandmothers from among whom to

French must exercise very good judg-
ment so that neither of the grand

First Child
In Georgia
Kills Self

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 8.-Albert Bish-
op, twelve years old, the Marietta
boy who shot himself in the head yes
tarday to keep from going to school,
is the first child in the history OF
Georgia to deliberately attempt sui
eide.
The boy is a son of A. A. Bishop, a
well known citizen, and is bright
youngster of apparently sound mind.
He didn't like going to school, but
his parents thought little of his OBJ
jections until yesterday when they
heard a pistol shot and found him
lying on the floor.
The bullet entered the temple, but
took a downward course and came
out of the cheek without inflicting a
fatal wound. The boy later regained
consciousness, and said his only rea
son was that he did not want to go
back to school.
In Russia and Germany, particular
ly during the past ten years, suicides
among school children and youths
have increased to a remarkable de-
gree, but the Marietta case is said to
be almost unique in America.
