SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Feb. 1J. Major General Frederick Funston, commander of the southern depar. mcnt of the United States army with headquarters here. died al the St AurnUuy Aot,l tonight as rho result of an attack of acute indigestion. His death took place shortly after dinner. while he was playing with his child. It came so uneNpectedly that it Was a great shock to every one at army headquarters.
 Frederick Funston was born at New Carlisle, Ohio. on November 9, 1865, the son of Edward Hogae Funston. former congressman from that state and later member Of the Kansas state legislature and a congressman from Kansas as well The family moved to Kansas in 1s61, and it was there that young Funston passed his early life.
 Not until 1896, when the Cuban insurrection WAS at it's height, did Frederick Funston become known throughout the United States as a first class fighting man, but his friends in Kansas where he spent his early manhood long so classi- fled him
 As student at the University Of Kansas, when he weighed less than 100 pounds, he conquered d 200- pound bad man" who threatened him with d razor To add to the giants humiliation, Funston marched him through the streets of Lawrence, Kan, at the point of revolver to the police station.
 A few years later, while city edi- tor of paper in Fort Smith. Ar kansas, young Funston stirred up intense feeling by attacking editorial ly the publications own political par ty leaders during the absence of his editor-in-chief Many threats are said to have been made against Fun ston and the newspaper property, but he remained on guard until his sl, perior returned and then turned the plant over unharmed. Incidentally, Funston also resigned.
 After his newspaper experience Funston became a government bota mist, making a trip into Death Valley with an expedition in 1890-91, and trip to Alaska for the purpose Of studying its flora in 1893. He camp ed with the Alaskan expedition on the headwaters of the Yukon river during the winter of 1S9394, float ing down the river alone the next spring, studying the flowers on the banks of the river and collecting specimens of them as he went aIons
 Along the Santa Fe railroad they still recall how Funston, as pas senger train conductor. threw a drunken cowboy off a train and later. when he hurled a rock through a coach window. pursued him sev- eral miles on foot while the train waited.

CL,EARY A. BIS
STILL. ALINI,

Over hundred people took pull at the latchstring dangling outside the door of the old home of Camp Cleary, No. 22, Arctic Brotherhood, last Saturday night to participate in the dance given in lieu of the customary smoker of former years commemorating the founding of the camp, and if any similar affair here tofore given in the A. B. hall can be dubbed success, this one cer tainly was and then some.
 About 9 o'clock the crunching Of snow on the sidewalk and the stamp ing of feet in the anterooms an nounced the arrival of some of the brothers, who hobnobbed around eX- changing the usual fraternal greet ings, bonmots and scandalous tidbits until the stages from Chatanika and adjacent creeks arrived and unload ed their squeezed up occupants, who were soon whirling and gliding over the shiny, well waXed floor.
 The supper surpassed the usual standard of excellence prescribed by the Cleary A. B's for such occa- sions. owing, no doubt, to the delft little finishing touches added by some of the feminine persuasion. At it's disappearance the gathering once more pre-empted the floor and tan goed, waltzed and two-stepped to the strains of Pete Pearsons rollicking selections until daylight, Altering through the windows of the hall, proclaimed the unwelcome tidings that the twelfth anniversary of the organization of the most renowned camp of the Arctic Brotherhood Camp Cleary, No. 22-was at an end.
 District Attorney R. F. Roth will leave Fairbanks this morning for a trip to Nenana. He is going to the new railroad town for the purpose of looking up certain matters pertain ing to grand jury investigations of criminal matters, and expects to spend the better part of ten days at Nenana.

(Associatcd Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 19.- The administration bill providing for the punishment of espionage and violation of neutrality conspiracy by agents of foreign governments. will probably be passed by the senate tomorrow. Debate on the bill was cancelled tonight in the senate after Senator Cummins had continued his attack on it's language, his argu- ments being answered by Senator Walsh and other Democratic leaders. A vote taken tonight showed that a large majority favor the bill, bu. all efforts to get a quorum failed.

M. Georges Prades, the French
writer on aircraft, indicates the diff
Guilty of finding the range in an air
duel. If you have two machines fly
ing in opposite directions, each at a
speed of 100 miles an hour, and thus
having combined speed of 200
miles an hour, the distance between
the two machines varies at the rate
of nearly 800 feet a second, which
mean :, he says, that within the space
of five seconds required for aiming
after estimating the range the target
is 1900 feet closer than it was at
first. If the trajectory of your mis-
sile is slightly too curved, you will
fire over the target.

Milk Producers
Graded Rates

The New Hope Milk Producers
Association is very much interested
in the attempt of few Philadel-
phia dealers to secure the milk at
612c. wholesale, although they are
retailing the milk at lie. The as
ISOLATION has set the price for July
and August at &c. per quart, on a
basis of 4 p. C. butter fat, or price
of $2.76 per 100 lbs. Milk testing
as high as 5 per cent. would bring
$3.11 per II lbs, or 1888 cents per
quart. On the other hand, milk
testing as low as 8 per cent. would
only bring Gil cents per quart,
with intermediate tests atcorrespond-
ing advances or decreases, of course.
Some members of the Interstate
Milk Producers Association have
peen selling their milk above the
market price, owing to unusual
qualities and these are urged to
communicate with Robert w. Bal
derston, the interstate secretary, at
TIT Heed Building, Philadelphia, in
order that their interests may be
protected. Evidence that any dealer
is refusing to pay the standard price
is desired, as all are charging the
full retail price, it is believed, and
seven cents per quart is as low as
the farmer can produce milk of the
four per cent. quality and make
reasonable profits for his work and
investment, and with the present
high prices of feed and grains there
is not as much profit today as at a
lower rate sometime ago. M. HUI
bert Walton is the New Hope secre-
tary of the association, and every
milk producer is welcomed.

WILL NOT MARRY ON FRIDAY
Most Women Still Cling to This Old
Superstition But French Girls
Think That Day Fortunate.

There is DO period in a woman's
life that so completely changes ner
whole existence as marriage, and for
that very reason she is apt to be more
superstItious and fanciful at that time
than at any other, and while supersti-
lions are fast becoming a thing of the
past there are few women who viii
not hesitate before making Friday
their wedding day, says London Tit
Bits.
June and october have always been
held as the most propitious months,
happy result being thought by some to
be rendered certain If the ceremony
is timed so as to take place at the
full moon or when the sun and moon
are in conjunction.
In Scotland the last day of the year
is thought to be lucky and If the moon
should happen to be fun at any time
when wedding takes place the
brides cup Of happiness is expected
to be always full.
The good people of Perthshire who
have had their banns published at the
end of one and are married at the be-
ginning of another quarter OF a year
can expect nothing but good things.
The day OF the week is also of great
importance. Sunday being a great
favorite in some parts of England and
Scotland. And although an English
lass would not marry on Friday. the
French girls think the first Friday in
the month particularly fortunate.

BURBoT is FRESH-WATER COD
Species Which Inhabits Northern Part
Of Western Hemisphere Has
voracious Appetite.

The burbot has the distinction OF
being the only fresh-water member of
the cod family, all of It's relatives liv-
ing in the sea. It's habitat circles the
earth, two almost indjstinguishable
species being found. one each, in the
lakes and larger streams of the north
ern parts Of the two hemispheres. In
North America it occurs from the Arc
tic circle, and perhaps beyond it, TO
the Ohio and Missouri rivers, being
particularly abundant in the Great
Lakes and the larger waters of New
England, New York, Canada and
Alaska.
It is said TO spawn in the winter and
early spring and like most of its fam
lily is exceedingly prolific, estimates Of
the number Of eggs ranging from 160,-
600 in Il medium-slzed fish to 670000
in a large one. It's voraeity is notori-
Gus. BY day it hides in the holes and
crannies Of the bottom or in the deep
er waters, but at night it goes forth
TO prey on other fishes, crawtishes,
and. at least in early life. on aquatic
insects and fish eggs. It's highly dis
tensible stomach is as elastic as its
appetite and 1t takes q heavy toll Of
it's neighbors, the particular trait
which has brought il into disfavor with
the fishermen who brook no rivalry in
their calling.

DIR. A. A. Allen, professor of birds
at Cornell, suggests that anyone who
is skeptical about the hunting ability
OF the cat should go out in the early
fall morning after a light snow fall
and track the wild animals Of the
nearby woods. Perhaps you will find
the tracks of q red squirrel; squirrels
are very clever and usually manage
to exist even In cities. Perhaps you
will find the tracks of a cottontail or
two; rabbits are very prolific and
stand a great deal Of persecution.
Probably you viii find the tracks of q
few rats and mice; but be assured you
will find Puss-in-Boots in force, her
tracks crossing and recrossing. Doc
tor Allen does not believe there is a
place in the eastern United States
within five miles Of a human habita-
lion where you viii not find the tracks
IF the domestic cat more frequently
than those of any Wild animals, SPUR
