Confederate First
White House Saved

The first White House Of the Con-
federacy, located in Montgomery,
Ala, will not be destroyed. This
announcement was made by Mrs.
Belle Allen Ross, secretary of the
White House association, the other
night, after she had returned from
La Grange, where she closed deal
for the purchase of the house from
the Dandy estate.
It Is understood the White House
association owns only the building.
but it is possible, with the assist
ance of the Alabama legislature,
which has appointed joint commit
tee of the senate and house to see
what could be done toward saving
the property, an effort will be made
to purchase the land on which the
house Is located.
Reports that the Alabama division
Of the Daughters of the Confeder
acy were trying to save the property,
were said by members of the White
House association. to be erroneous
The work was originally taken up ~
that body, but later the associatiol
was organized and chartered by the
legislature to take over the work.
Since that time the association ha%
been actively but quietly at work,
with the result that it now owns the
building, which has been saved to-
the people of the south as historic
structure.

swering the description of the fugi-
tives had been seen in a direction
different from that taken by the
= searching parties.
Miss Schair armed herself with an
automatic revolver, commandeered
an automobile and it's driver, and
drove to the place. some miles from
Chamberlain, the county seat. The
fugitives were reported to be hiding
in a patch of weeds. Standing on
the running board of the automobile,
Miss Schair caused the machine to
be run alongside the weed patch.
She fired a couple of shots into the
air to make sure her weapon was In
working order, and also to warn the
fugitives that she meant business.
Presently the fugitiveS arose from
their place Of concealment in the
weeds and threw up their hands and
surrendered. They were placed in
the jail by Miss Schair. In court
they pleaded guilty and are now in
the Sioux Falls penitentiary.

Nine Eggs in As Minutes
Is This Hens Record

Prof. j. G. Halpin, of the poul-
try department of the University of
Wisconsin has spent several days at
Lacrosse, Wis, as a guest of Gus
tave Rhodes, owner of the hen,
Biddy, which has puzzled poultry ex-
perts by her record of laying an
average of twenty-three eggs a week
for the past two months.
Professor Halpin is convinced that
except for her egg laying propensity,
Biddy is a normal hen in every way.
He has examined her carefully and
has observed her actions. One day
he saw her lay nine eggs in forty
five minutes, and the next day seven
in half an hour.
Professor Halpin is arranging to
exhibit Biddy at county fairs this
fall and will ask for university
appropriati to purchase the hen
for $4,000. ~, declares that It would
be possible to crosS breed poultry so
that hens would ordinarily lay two
or three eggs a day, just as the milk
yield of COWS has been increased
through regulated cross breeding.

Jewish cemetery at Weiner Neus-

allow the burial in that cemetery of
the body of Thor Szamuely, the
Hungarian communist leader, who
was shot and killed as he was try

The reason given by the chief Off

THE Mosaic law contains no pro-
vision against the burial of murder
ers in consecrated ground, but Moses
knew that murder was foreign to the
nature Of the Jews and, therefore,
passed mo ordinance. l assume that
