FELL TO R0oSEVELT'S SPEAR
Big psvflhsh 4 Victim Of the coIonel's
Lew Of Sport, Either on
Sea Or Land.

The fame Of the late Col. Theodore
Roosevelt as a big-game hunter 10 we'll
known, but he was equally as adept ut
killing big fish Of the sea, according to
Russell ]. Coles, noted big'dsh killer.
Attracted by one OF Coles articles
about killing the devilf1sh, the colonel
appealed to him for instruction In the
art. After taking several land lessons,
using a rpear with which he saw an
African kill a lion, he finally became
expert, and Mr.. Coles formed a party
to hunt the .devilfish of the coast Of
Florida, in Punta Gorda, March Is,
1917. There the colonel killed his A1st
devilfish, hitting the huge creature,
which weighed many tons, just two
inches from the spot indicated on a
drawing by Coles, and driving the
spear two feet four inches through the
heaviest and boniest structure Of the
fish. The colonel was standing on the
cab Of q small boat travelling nine miles
an hour, and the fish was coming to-
ward the boat at the rate Of Is or 1S
miles an hour, swimming about four
or six feet under water. Had the
colonel missed his aim the fish would
have been able, with one Of its side
fms, to upset the boat and drown the
fishermen. An hour after his first
catch the colonel killed second devil
fish, which was the second largest
devilflsh ever killed. Mr.. Coles is a
scientist who has hunted devilflsh for
more than 20 years.

PETS BELOVED By SAINTS
Dr.. Douglas Hyde, in Series Of Lee-
lures, Deals Interestingly With
Medieval Irish Lore.

DR.. Douglas Hyde recently delivered
series of lectures-the Margaret
Stokes lectures-in the Alexandra col
lege, Dublin, dealing with medieval
Irish lore. he told anecdotes about
the Irish saints and their love of birds
and beasts. He traced the love of ami
mails by people in different periods
and in different Countries. Even the
Irish pagans had their pet animals,
says Our Dumb Animals.
He took the three Irish saints. St.
Patrick, St. Brigid and St. Columcille,
and spoke of their affection for their
pet animals. St. Patrick's kindness to
the fawn was we'll authenticated, Ind
the fawn returned the love to his mas
ter.
St. Brigld had her pet dog, a most
faithful animal. She also loved birds,
and the birds, especially domestic
fowls, loved her in a remarkable man.
ner.
The crane was St. Columcille's pet,
although his love for dumb animals
surpassed that Of the other saints. 1t
was recorded in the life Of the saint
that dumb animals, too, were in love
with him, especially birds, and that
some of the latter followed him from
Ireland to the island of Iona. There
was, in proof Of the love of animals
for the saint, the story Of how the
horse wept on the bosom Of the saint
the night before he died.
DR.. Hyde mentioned large number
Of other saints, Irish and Latin, about
whom he told stories, showing their
love for animals, making special refer
ence to st. Kelvin, st. Comgall, St.
Molina, st. Moling, who had made
friends of wolves, foxes, partridges and
herons.

from America with such and such an

U. S. SHIPS TO CARRY U. S. EXPORTS

Ships are the controlling factor in
the development Of foreign trade. Be-
fore the war only 81 per cent Of our
total exports was carried in American
bottoms. 1t is our hope, If our pro-
gram is completed, to have sufficient
ships to move so per cent Of our total
commerce in American bottoms, writes
Edward E. Hurley, chairman U. S.
shipping board, in Pan-Pacific Maya
zine.
We want to put the best American
initiative behind the operation of the
fleet we want to get rid of red tape
and the possibility of stagnation when
moving these ships to the ports where
they will carry American trade. But,a
very large part of the task that con-
fronts the nation can be made easy
and practicable If such organizations
as the National Foreign Trade council
will concentrate in movement to urge
American manufacturers to study the

ORGANIZED LABOR
 PRESENTS DEMAND
Would Retire Private Capital From RailrOads-Plan Pre- sents Most Serious Problem Nation Has Ever Faced.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Organized labor came out today with the un- equivocal, formal demand that private capital be retired from the railroads.
 A tri-party control composed of the public, the operating management and the employees is demanded instead.
 Addressed to the. American public signed by the engineers, the firemen, conductors and the American Fedora tion of Labor, formal statement was issued announcing this proposal which will be carried before congress We'd nesday.
 'It marks" says the statement, "the step by which organized labor passes from demands for wage in- creases to demands that the system of profits in industry be overhauled."
 This sentence sums up in few worlds. the proposal of which there have been hints and indications, but which is now laid before the country for the first time. Everywhere in of fcial Washington it is recognized as the most serious and far-reaching pro- position the country has ever been called upon to face.
 Characterizing the proposal as "la- bor's bill," it is put forth as remedy for the high cost of living, because the railroads are the key industry of the nation. It demands the genuine cooperation and partnership based on real community of interest and par ticipation of control" of which Presi- dent Wilson spoke to congress, and which the statement says has been ignored by labor and the private own CTS of the railroads.
 "We ask," it says, "that the rail- roads of the United States be vested in the public; that those actually en- gagged in conducting that industry, not from Wall street, but from the rail road offices and yards and out on the railroad lines, shall take charge of, this service for the public"
 "This role originates with labor" says the statement, because labor happens to have firm organizations through which it may become articu- late"
 The trainmen are not represented in the statement because W. G. Lee, president of the brotherhood, was out of the city, but it was said that they jjoin in it.

DEFINE ANARCHY
 AT FORD TRIAL
Cunning Lays Down Cardinal Points of Red Doctrine to the Jury-Eight Hours Each For Closing Arguments.

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Aug. 4.-The Ford-Tribune libel suit swung back again today on the main issue, was Henry Ford an anarchist, as the Chi cago Tribune declared. Prof. William A. Cunning, professor of history and political science in Columbia univer- sity, laid down the three principal tenets of anarchism: the denial of God, the abolition of property, the destruction of the political state. Am archism contends that religion letters the mind,' the state, with its doctrine of property, ignores the natural needs of man, society enslaves his spirit. The purposes of God the state and society can only be fulfilled by the subordination of the individual, and the exaltation of the individual above, them all is the very essence of an- archy.
 Was Henry Ford an anarchist" Prof. Cunning wa sasked
 Henry Ford, in all his articles and interviews, knows nothing what ever of the anarchic denial of God" said the witness. Henry Ford does not share the anarchist antagonism to property, quite the contrary, Henry Ford expresses no=emnity toward the orderly processes of society, rather he upholds them. Henry Ford stands for no ideal of reform which, if carried to it's farthest limit, would involve an- archy or anything like it."
 Prof. Cunning made a distinction, between anarchists and revolutionists. Anarchism, he said, sought to destroy all government, revolutionists sought only to overturn one type or state of government or different form of gov ernment.
 "Ts it fact that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson revolted against established laws and customs?"
 Yes"
 Emma Goldman's name was fre- quently brought into the case by Trib- une attorneys in an attempt to show similarity between her violent ideas and those of Henry Ford. Ford coun. sel introduced an article by Emma Goldman in which she made a vitrolic attack on the Ford profit-sharing plan as sharing with thief"
 Teof Cunning gave testimony to show that Emma Goldman was op- posed to prohibition, but that would not render all anti-prohibitionists an archists, and that Emma Goldman was opposed to woman suffrage but that would not stigmatize all anti-suf. fragists anarchists.
 That Emma Goldman was opposed to military intervention in Mexico, but so were president Taft and President Wilson, and they were not to be re- garded as anarchists, therefore. There are only certain number of circles of thought in the .world, said Prof

~- << <YzrxNEnRxnu5zE<f162sf SsszED Cunning, so that people who are most antagonistic so far as their central ideas are concerned, find themselves in agreement with each other at cer- ttain points on the outer edges of their circles of thought
 Emma Goldman had printed in her magazine and given her endorsement to certain statements of Ralph Waldo Emerson, but that did not signify that Emerson would agree with Emma Goldman.
 Prof. Cunning objected to Tribune counsel confusing socialists with an archists Socialists had definite pub lie program, were recognized as form ing a legitimate political party and were given a place on the official bal lot.
 But I have never heard any an. nouncement formally of an anarchist platform" said Prof. Dunning
 "Tolstoi and Ford both said that preparedness always leads to war. Didn't they?"
 "I don't think they said always" y"
 Do not the majority of anarchists insist they are opposed to violence?"
 "No."
 Judge Tucker announced, in view of the approaching close of the case that he would allow counsel on each side eight hours for argument.

CABINET MEMBERS
 CONSIDER H. (. L.
recommendations on Lowering Costs of Living is Expected Soon - May Prosecute the Packers.

Washington, Aug. 4-Recommenda- .ious to President Wilson as to how tbe government should proceed in its .Torts to lower the cost of living are ovneeted to result from the second naotinq of cabinet members and other of6cials called into conference by At torney General Palmer.
 There still was no indication to- r;cbt of how the conference would view the problem. Director of Rail roads Hines, Assistant Secretary of tbe Treasury Leffingwell, and Chair man Colver, of the Federal Trade Commission, appointed a committee to present suggestions to the confer ence, have been engaged in an ex- change of memoranda, but it was said authoritatively that they had reached no decision as to what steps should be taken.
 That President Wilson was taking deep interest in the situation was indicated again late today when, with out announcement, he called at the offices of the Federal Trade Commits sion and held a lengthy conference with Chairman Colver and Commis- sioner Murdock. Neither of the two commission members would discuss the subjects brought up at the con- ference but admitted that it dealt with phases of the living cost problem.
 Attorney General Palmer has sum- money District Attorney Clyne of Chi cago, to report on the progress of in- vestigations which have been under way there. MT. Clyne's visit was re- garded as significant also because an early decision is expected by the at torney general as to whether informa- ton submitted by the federal trade commission warrants prosecutions against the "big five" packing com panies.
 High prices and the resulting un- rest expressed in strike threats by hundreds of thousands of railroad men occupied much of the time of the Senate today. Senators from wheat growing states asserted that the gov emment guaranteed price of $226 bushel was not responsible for the high cost of bread, declaring that wheat was selling at terminals at higher figures.
 Senator Gronna of North Dakota, said the crop would be nearer 650,000,- 900 bushels than 1,250,0O0,O0O bushels forecast by the department of agri- culture.
 Several senators declared there was ample law to punish profiteering.
