HOUSE FILLED WITH SP00KS
Offer Of Free Rent Falls to Attract
Tenants and Owner
Sells X.

Pineville, w. Va.-The famous haunt
ed house at "Rarden," on the Norfolk
and Western railroad, is being demol-
ished by the new owner, c. w. Brown,
who purchased II in an administrators
sale, because the spOoks behaved so
badly during the last twenty-five years
that no one would live In 1t.
The house is big twO-story frame
structure and is one of the landmarks
of the village. According to those who
have occupied it ghosts, spooks and
spirits abound In 1t. 1t was quilt more
than half century ago, and the al
legged walking of chairs and tables,
and door raps, rafting Of dishes
and pans and removal of covers from
persons occupying beds have driven
those who have occupied the place to
give 1t up.
The ghosts have been reported for
a quarter Of q century, and during that
time score of different families have
occupied the house, but only for short
periods. For years no one would &C.
cupy 1t, although 1t was offered rent
free.

TR0TZKY TRAVELS IN STYLE
Red Army Chief Has De Luxe Train
Of IA Coaches, One
Garage.

London.-The special train Of Leon
Trotzky. the chief of the Russian red
army, is a most elaborate affair, con-
sisting Of fourteen cars and two pow
erful engines. 1t is supplied with a
wireless installation capable of re-
ceiving communications from Nauen,
Lyons and London. One of its most
interesting fittings is a printing office
which prints Trotzky's paper, On the
War. The greatest curiosity of the
train is the garage" which contains
six cars, one powerful French auto
mobile which belonged to the late
Emperor Nicholas.
The escort on the train consists of
$50 infantrymen, whole company Of
machine gunners, as TrOtzky, with his
train has often been near the front
and has several times been In danger
of his life. The train also contains q
library and a dining car.

AS he SAW CHRIST
Drawn by ProconsuI In Palestine In
Letter Describing "Man Of
Strange Virtue"

Rome.-From the dust of more than
1900 years a studious modern Roman
has rescued a pen portrait of Jesus
Christ. 1t was drawn In one of the
etters that Publ.us Lentulus, who was
Roman pro-cOnsul I'm Palestine and
knew the Savior in Nazareth, wrote
TO a friend In Italy.
"There has appeared here man
Of strange virtue" Publius Lentulus
wrote. His disciples call him The
Son of God He cures the sick and
raises the dead to life. He Is q very
handsome man and worthy of all
our attention. His hair IL blond
and covers his shoulders in separate
curls and is parted in the middle,
after the fashion Of the people Of
Nazareth. His forehead Is smooth
and serene without marks or
wrinkles; his countenance is pink !;
his nose is well formed; his beard, Of
the same color as his hair, is parted
I'm the middle.
"In his gaze is an expression OF
wisdom and of openness; his eyes are
blue, hut shine terribly when he re-
proves people; but in conversation
they are amiable. His observations
are expressed with liveliness, al
though he always remains calm. No
body has ever seen him to laugh; but
he often weeps. OF a good height and
straight figure he has very beautiful
hands and arms. His manner Of
speaking is serious. He speaks but
little, and is modest. In short, he Is
as handsome as a man may be. They
call him Jesus, the Son Of Mary"
Expert antiquarians and students Of
history pronounce the letters Of Publ
us Lentulus to be entirely genuine.
For centuries they were forgotten save
by students of Latin and ancient Rome.
The advent of Christmas brought the
letter quoted to the mind Of an old
professor here. He translated 1t into
modern Italian and sent 1t to some of
his learned friends as historical curl
osity. 1t seems to verify the belief
that the Savior had fair complexion
and light hair, as many old artists de-
picted him.

FISHES FOR BIRDS
WITH ROD and LINE
Boston Curator Thus Catches
Rare Specimens for
Aviary.

The way to catch birds, according to
the beliefs and practices of George
Morse, curator of the Franklin Park
zoo, Boston, Is to fish for them. A
bamboo fish pole with small fish line
moose and snow shoes completes the
curator's outfit for bird fishing"
Nor Is this a fish story. A reporter
saw him catch three birds In this man.
ner. Since February 4. when he sight
ed his first two birds and caught them,
he has LANDED" a full dozen of rare
little feathered songsters from the far
north.
This included four pine grosbeaks.
two evening grosbeaks, which are
birds especially rare In this section (;
five purple finches and one red top. 1t
Is Mr.. Morse's opinion that the deep
SHOWS farther north have completely
covered all possible food and that the
low fruited bushes Of the park have
attracted the birds.
Curator Morse spends all his spare
time tramping over the snowy miles Of
park expanse In search of these rare
birds. He knows that the first thaw
will send them north again and he is
eager to capture as many as possible
to put on exhibit In the aviary with
the other costly and rare specimens.
Curator Morse always tries to work
up, upon the bird from the rear. He
pushes his pole into such a position
that the moose is just over the birds
head. Then he drops 1t gently. There
is fiutter of wings, surprised pro-
test and the little creature is fairly
caught.
Then the curator hauls in gently and
the bird is soon In captivity.

STILL USE LASH
FOR OFFENDERS
Delaware Only State in Union
Where Whipping Is
Permitted.
CLAIM IT GETS RESULTS
Law Designates the Number Of Strokes
for the Various FeIonies-No Dis.
tinction Made Between Petty
and Grand Larceny

Wilmington, Del.-The whipping
post has been abolished in Delaware
but whipping still remains.
Instead of strapping offenders to
post, they are forced to stand
against a wall, with their hands out
stretched on either side.
Delaware is the only state In which
this form of punishment still is per-
mitted. In other states ii was abol-
ished long ago.
In Delaware even the pillory was
abandoned only recently.
What Law Provides.
Here are the various felonies pun
ishabe by whipping, and the number
of strokes that the law provides for
each:
rse-stealing-Twenty lashes.
Larceny-nOt more than twenty
lashes.
Arson in Second Degree-Not more
than twenty lashes.
Burning a Courthouse Where Of
fetal Records Are Kept-Sixty lashes.
,breaking-Twenty lashes.
Highway RObbery-Twenty lashes.
Wife-beating-Not more than thirty
lashes.
Attempt to Ravish-Thirty lashes.
In addition to the whipping, the Of
lenses are also punishable by impris-
onment.
The most of the statutes merely
provide penalties for the various Of
lenses with no provision that they
shall not be inflicted upon women,
public opinion in Delaware will no
longer permit the flashing of women.
A majority of the offenders to be
punished in that manner are negroes,
but white men suffer it as well. The
whippings usually take place at the
end of each court term or, if the
terms last more than one week, the
whippings occur at the end of each
week. They are administered by the
warden of the Jail.
A curious feature of the law of
ton between grand and petty larceny;
the theft of a loaf of bread by hun
cry man is technically as serious q
crime as the stealing of $1,000 by a
hardened criminal.
There is nothing In the law to pre-
vent judge from sentencing the for
mer to be dashed on the bare back
with a cat-o'-nine-tails, made of leath-
er thongs.
See Nothing Brutal.
81 do not see anything brutal about
our form of punishment" former
Judge ]. Frank Ball, counsel for and
a member of the County Workhouse
commission, said to me. "The men
are not beaten severely, for the strokes
do not draw blood. No man who came
to see one of the whippings, and who
was unprecedented could find anything
70 object TO in them.
81 do not know of any movement
to abolish whipping. and l do not
know any citizens who would favor
such q thing. We feel that we know
what we are doing, and we don't want
outsiders to dictate to u.s."

Fight in Jersey Legion
On Strike Volunteers
Serious Break Threatened af
Veterans Contention Over
Members Who RaTs Trains

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. "a
fight which threatens the American
Legion's organization in New Jersey
will take place here tomorrow when
the annual state convention OF the
veterans organization begins at the
Marlborough Blenheim Hotel.
The conflict centers around the ac-
ton of the Bernardsville, N. j., post
of the Legion, which refused to re-
pudiate the action Of members who
ran indignation specials" over the
railroads during the "outlaw" strike
recently. Until the reputation is made
state officials of the Legion have de-
clined to approve the posts applica-
ton for a charter, holding that the
attitude of the Legion is against mix
ing in industrial disputes or taking
sides against organized labor.
Newark and Hudson County posts
favor the attitude of the state officials,
but the southern part of the state is
with Bernardsville. Six delegates from
Bernardsville are here to present their
posts version Of the dispute.
1t is not improbable that a serious
break may result from the controversy.

Landlord Fails to Gust
Tenant Because of Dogs
Profiteering Allegation Made
and Stay Until May I
Ia GvameeN

Justice Scanlon in the Second Dis
trict Municipal Court yesterday rem
dered q decision in favor Of John
O'Connor, landlord, who had brought
proceedings against Samuel Ruocco,
who lives with his wife and six chill
dren at 2077 Ryer Avenue. Justice
Scanlon ordered that Ruocco vaca.e
by October 1.
James D. O'Sullivan, Assistant Cor
poraton Counsel, and a representative
of the Mayors Committee, appeared
In behalf Of Ruocco. They declared
that O'Connor wanted to ouet Ruocco
and his family so that the premises
might be used for garage.
John Magenta, who lives at 1865 Cedar
Avenue, has too many dogs, according
to his landlord, Abraham Monroe. So
Monroe pressed charges against his
| tenant, with view to getting him to
vacate his apartment and take his dogs
along with him. The case was heard
yesterday before Justice Scanlon. Ma
gonia told the court that he didn't be-
lieve the landlord had any serious OBJ
jections to dogs, but that he wanted
to get him out so that the apartment
might be rented to another tenant for
$75 instead Of $44, which Magenta is
paying. Justice Scanlon granted Ma
gonia q stay until May at d rental Of
949.
The Bonabell Realty Company was
denounced by Justice Scanlon as a
''prime profiteer." He gave to Mrs.
Jane Ranes, q tenant in O Bonabell
apartment at 1879 Morris Avenue, a
stay until May. She told the court
that she had paid $50 o month rent q
