Hetty Green's Eirmnsss.

Hetty Green nearly brought Coils p.
Huntington to ruin once. She had
e1,600,0O0 deposited in one Of his banks
and found that he was using the
banks money in investments that she
regarded as ticklish. Besides, there
had been deals in which she thought
she had cause to make Huntington sit
up and take particular notice of her.
She appeared before an officer Of the
bank, a Mr.. Stewart, and said:
I'D like my money right away-not
In checks; In cash. please"
"Is there no other way, Mrs. Greenf"
he asked, beginning to perspire.
None" said she. Cash. please"
She got it-after q scurrying Of
many bank messengers-in all kinds
Of money and In such bulk that four
messengers had to carry II for her, the
while the rumor got out that Hunting

KNOCKOUTS GALORE
At PENN'S GROVE
Bouts All One Sided Affairs; Fer
guson Disqualified in the
Wind-Up.

Last night was Knockout Night" at
the Penn's Grove A. A., when the weekly
boxing show was staged at the Jersey
club Three of the five bouts ended in
knockouts while the wind-up was stopped
in the third when Danny Ferguson was
disqualified by Referee Johnny Eckhart
for using foul tactics against X .. Harry
Baker, the local middlcweight. Only one
bout went the limit and that was the four
round preliminary.
The wind-up between Baker and
Ferguson which was scheduled TO go
eight rounds was rough exhibition
throughout, with the Philadelphian being
the offender. The trouble started in the
first round when Baker accidentally
struck Ferguson after the gong had sound
ed, ending the round Ferguson without
waiting to see whether the blow was in
territorial or not, proceeded TO wade INTO
Baker, while the latter made no attempt TO
retaliation. Ferguson went to his corner
after striking Baker several blows and
when the fighters came back for the
second round the bout resolved itself
into rough and tumble exhibition,
Referee Eckhardt stopped the bout and
asked the men If they wanted to go on
clcanlv After an agreement the bout
continued and Ferguson continued his
rough tactics INTO the third round when
the crowd seemed as If 1t was going TO take
a hand and the police stepping in stop
ped further proceedings after Ferguson
had been practically disqualified.
In the semi-windup 1y Cobb of Car

of Philadelphia terrific lacing and was

bout was stopped in the fourth. Soldier

One Freak Suggestion Urges That
Boche be Petrified by Cement
Squirt Guns.

London, Aug. 1O.-If the dreams of
numerous British amateur inventors who
have been besieging the Ministry of MUM
tlons could be realized, the war would have
been over long since and little would be
left of the German ARMY. Recent propo-
sails include the following:
Freeze the clouds and mount artillery
thereon.
Train cormorants to fly TO Essen TO
pick the mortar from krupp's walls so
that they will crumble.
Trail from balloons monster magnets
that would snatch rifles from the hands of
the German soldiers.
Perch men on shells to steer them
A suggestion often submitted is TO at
tach n searchlight TO an anti-aircraft gun,
project the light on Gotha and shoot
along the beam. Unfortunately, shells
will not follow path of light
Other schemes for dea ling with hostile
, aircraft are To suspend heavy guns from
captive balloons; TO arm defense airplanes
with scythes; to provide heat rays for
setting Zeppelins on fire, and to cover the
moon with big black balloon To pre-
vent polished rails shining at night and
acting rs n guide 10 enemy aircraft the
last coach of the last train is TO drop

the plan being for a shell at the height of
it's flight To expel smaller inner she'll
As the she'll does not point directly along
its trajectory, it would be impossible TO
secure accuracy of aim for the second shell
Among the more miscellaneous pro-
iects are:
To petrify German soldiers by squirting
cement over them.
To throw snakes by pneumatic pro
pusion into the enemy trenches
To penetrate and attack Germany IT.
