VESSEL WRECKED;
) BODIES FOUND.
Unknown Boat. Comes to Grief orr
Jekyl Island.

Brunswick, Ca, Feb. IA vessel
OF some description was wrecked
off Jekyl island some time today and
already five bodies have been picked
up on the beach and brought TO this
city, but it has been impossible to
establish the identity OF any OF them.
Near where the bodies were found
was a piece Of wreckage and life
preserver with the name Fortune"
but no vessel of any kind by that
name is known here. 1t is believed to
have been either a prawn boat or a
scow. There is no Brunswick boat by
that name. 1t was at first thought
that the bodies were those of the
members of the crew of the Spanish
schooner Sanfest, which went ashore
off Doboy Thursday and is now
wrecked. The crew of fifteen men
is still missing.
1t has been established, however,
that the finding of the bodies on Jekyl
island has no connection whatever
with the wrecked schooner. The last
of the five bodies found floated upon
the beach late this afternoon and a
search all along the beach will be
made tomorrow morning for addi-
tional bodies. If the heavy northeast
wind subsidies somewhat tugs will
also go out to ascertain, if possible,
the name of the boat wrecked.

HEART REMOVED MAN LIVES.
Organ is Replaced After Bullet Il
Taken Out.

The Morning Oregonian.
Some days ago surgeons at the st.
Joseph's Hospital at Omaha took the
heart out of Stepe Zakich, an Aus
trim, who had shot himself, removed
the bullet from the heart where it
was imbedded, replaced the organ in
Zakich's body and sewed up the in
cision. Today Zakich is on the road
to recovery.
The operation was performed after
the bullet had been in Zakich's heart
nearly 36 hours. When surgeons ar
rived after Zakich fired the bullet
into his heart they thought he would
die in a few minutes. After he had
survived So hours the operation was
performed.
In performing the operation the
surgeons cut through three ribs and
exposed the heart. DR.. Simanck
reached into the opening took the
pulsing heart in his hand, lifted it
clear of the body and removed the
bullet, after which he replaced the
heart where it belonged.

$15O,OOO TO FIGHT WEEVIL.

There was a time when $3.50, 900
was staggering amount of money.
Not so now. 1t is now easily said and
more easily understood. Not many
years ago it would have needed much
argument, much propaganda and
hard work to have had such an
amount voted by the General Assem-
bly, for anything. Today, without a
dissenting vote, unanimously the
senate pledged itself to appropriate
s15O,000 with which to organize the
fight against the boil weevil. 1t was
voted with good grace. The resolu-
ton came to the senate from the fin
ance committee, under the sponsor
ship of Senator Banks, of Calhoun.
The House committee will proba-
bly, have an open hearing on the re-
solution next Wednesday.
The only questioning voice was
that of Senator Laney. He did not op-
pose the voting of the fund, but
questioned its results at this time.

MEN TELL STRANGE TALES.
Loyal to Men Who Sold Them the Lii
quor, Even to the Point of
Lying.

\ Mayor Hamer was relating few
days ago some of the experiences he
has had with men who were caught
with the goods since the prohibition
laws have gone into effect. They
are loyal to the men who sell them
the whiskey, says the Mayor, even
to the point of deliberately lying.
Last Saturday an officer saw a
man turn a flask up and take a big
swig. AS he approached, the officer
saw him hastily replace the flask in
his hip pocket. The officer went up
to him and said: Give me that
whiskeyp Il haven't got any whis-
key" replied the man. "You have"
replied the officer and proceeded to
take the flask from the mans hip
pocket. Where did you get this
whiskey?' demanded the officer.
Pom my word" replied the man
without change of countenance, "a
strange man rushed by me jist a while
ago and forced it in my pocket"
A negro was before the Mayor
last Friday charged with transport
ing. He had quart in his possession
where did you buy that whiskey?"
demanded the Mayor. ITO tell you

AS TO BOIL WEEVIL MACHINES

Clemson College, Jan. 29-There
is a considerable demand for testing
different methods and machines for
catching or controlling the boil Wee
vii. While a great number of solu-
tions and mechanical devices have
been tested during the last twenty
years, so far none has been found
practical, says Prof. A. F. Conradf, a
recognized authority on the boil Wee
vii. The fact, however, that these
have been failures does not guaran-
tee that some practical contrlvance
may not be devised.
Frequently farmers purchase TOO
quickly the devices that are offered
for sale. Those who have had the
longest experience with these inven-
1ions have learned to proceed eau
tiously.
While the Division of Entomology
of Clemson College is glad at all
times 10 cooperate with any well
meaning person or firm in trying a
new method or machine, it distinct
" withholds any opinions until the
tests have been completed and the
results clearly shown. If a method
has merit it will be supported, and II
it has not merit it will be so reported.
Tests made this spring can not be re-
ported on until We know the produc-
ton in pounds OF seed cotton during
the fall. A machine may do many and
Interesting things, but if it fails TO
proportionately increase the yleld,
then it has little or no value.

iSIMS AND KNIGHT
SCORED By GERARD.
Declares He Would Have Dumped
Criticising Admirals.

New York, Feb. 1.-The past year
for the United States has been one
"of fiddling and delay" and was
characterized as 1.-the tragedy of
tragedies" by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, who addressed the opening
meeting here today of the campaign
for the Near East Relief Fund. AL
though America had not kept faith
with the Allies, he said he had con-
fidence that the American people
would do their duty.
"One of the beliefs that carried
us into the war;" added Secretary
Daniels, was that small peoples have
the right to liberty and to control
their own destinies. Shall America
alone fall now in sustaining that
principle? / do not believe it, l am
confident that the American people
will respond to this call. Give to Ar
menia present relief from the perils
Of starvation and then provide for
the freedom of the country from the
rule of the Turk. They will respond
to this call as they have responded to
every call made upon them since
April 6, 1917"
Defends Navy Action.
Secretary Daniels in speaking OF
the navy said that the popular idea
of the navy was that it only exists as
a fighting machine. This, he added,
is it's chief mission, but if it had not
proved a powerful agency in protect
ing the people and upholding the dig
nifty of the flag at all times it had
failed of its mission. In the war, he
declared, it had proved its worth and
had done it's full share in bringing
about peace. There was nothing the
matter with the American navy dur
ing the war, James w. Gerard, for
mer ambassador to Germany, said in
a brief address.
Too Good Natured.
1.-The trouble with the secretary is
that he is too good natured," added
Mr.. Gerard. "If l had been secretary
of the navy and bunch of admir-
ais or any body else had formed So
Wet board of criticism, would have
had them on the slide and their heads
in the basket inside of twenty-four
hours"

KILLED FINE PORKER.
Mullins Enterprise.

Mullins Enterprise.
II. G.. Harrelson, route number 3,
city, undoubtedly holds the record for
the largest hog killed this season.
Mr.. Harrelson was in The Enterprise
office Saturday and stated that he
killed his Poland China stag on Mon
day and he weighed S32 pounds. The
hog was just little over two years
old Mr.. HarrelsOn having raised
him from a pig. Owing to the wealth
er turning much warmer much fear
was expressed that the meat would
ruin before the next cold snap. The
loss Of 500 pounds of pork at pres
ent prices certainly would mean
something.

Markham Attacks Rail Ownership as
 S0cialistic Move

Louisville, Ky, April 29.-Govcrn- mcnt ownership of railroads is step otward socalized government, ac- cordine to Charles H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central Rail road company, principal speaker at q meeting of the Transportation Club of Louisville last night.
 of it is true that private owner- ship of railroads is being given it's final test, it is also true that all American institutions are on trial" MT. Markham continued, and added:
 "As result of two years of gov ernment operation, leaders of or ganized labor not only opposed re- turn of roads to owners, but made de- mands for their retention under con ditions that would make the em- ployes virtual managers and bene- iiercifas. It is travelling long way in two years. At that increased speed such movements with any suc- cess acquired, how long would 1t take to nationalize the. coal mines, milling interests, distribution of
 dfoo,and, finaly, the resumption of title to the land itself?"
 Concerning the transportation act, MT. Markham said it was the first legislation so far devised to regu- late railroads with view to serving both users and owners of the road.
