Lieutenant McClintock," saws Cap
tain Bernier, who was commander of
the Intrepid and second in command
to Captain Kellett, early showed his
great activity by making sledge jour
neys of a hazardous nature across
Melville island from the locality in
which the Resolute and Intrepid were
frozen in near Dealy island. The
tracings made by N1cClintock around
the shores of Melville island and
Prince Patrick island, on foot, added
many hundreds of miles to the coast
surveyed under Relcher and Kellett.
The cairns established by him be-
tween 1852 and 1854 are mentioned in
his reports with the papers found at
Dealy island.

pile of rocks was found by Captain
Bernier. Another was found outside

Much of the information found in
these documents was utilized by Can

HIGH HEELS CAUSE DEATH
Pittsburgh Woman Mangled by Ele-
vator After Her Shoe Catches
in Door.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-High heeled shoes
dragged Mrs. G. Steffler, aged forty
two, to a slow death when she was
crushed beyond recognition between an
elevator cage and the shaft wall in the
North Park apartments, No. 204 East
North avenue, where she resided.
Mrs. Steffier was hurrying through
the hall going to the elevator when
John Gibson, the elevator operator, in
formed her that he would carry her
up after he had answered telephone
call. AS Mrs. Steffler stepped into the
waiting car her high heeled shoes
caught between the elevator and the
floor. In an effort to extricate herself
she fell forward, grasping the cable
of the cage which started slowly to de-
scend to the basement, pinning her
between the steel cage and the wall.

WORM DELIGHTS IN COMFORT
Expends Much Time in the Drepara-
tion and Furnishing of It's
Humble Home.

Worms holes are often dug three
or four feet deep, and in cold coun-
tries, as far as seven or eight feet
under the surface, going straight down
or in a slightly oblique direction. AT
the bottom there is a small. round
compartment with perhaps few
small stones or pebbles in it, for the
worms do not like to lie close against
cold earth.
During hot, dry, summer weather,
or in the cold of winter the worms
remain in the bottom of their holes
curled up singly or in balls of three
or four.
The whole length of this narrow
hole has lining of dark mold. Near
the top, for a few inches, the lining
is made of leaves flattened and pasted
all round against the earth. In that
softly lined part the worm likes to lie
all day in damp or cold weather with
his head just concealed beneath the
level of the ground or poking up from
the surface.

not found anywhere else in the world
In 1911, one of those species was rep
resented by six birds-all that were
left as the sole means of perpetuating
the species, and they concentrated on
"a single little island, where one man
might kill them all in one minutes
shooting.
That species-the LaySan teal-has
fortunately increased until there are,
by estimate, thirty-fve individuals.
For the United States department of
agriculture, for a few years, has con-
trolled the islands as bird reserva-
tion-the Hawaiian islands reservation,
it is called. But protecting the birds
there is q precarious business. The
possibility has existed always that one
or more. of the rare species might be
wiped out in day.
AIbatross Destroyers Arrested.
BY way of illustration, this: One
day in 1909 the crew of the cutter
Thetis found an old shed absolutely
piled full of albatross wings. "A search
revealed the fact that % plume hunt
ers had landed on Laysan island and
had killed at least 100000 birds. The
men were captured, taken to Honolulu,
and formally arrested. Since that time
there is not known to have been any
repetition of such depredations, but
it is always imminent.
Just now many fishermen-largely
nationals of countries other than the
United States-are extending their OPP
erations from Honolulu out to the re-
gion of the bird reservation. Landings
on the islands are constantly immi-
nent, and such landings would be a
menace to one of the most remarkable
bird-breeding places In the world. The
bureau of biological survey, having
direct charge of the reservation, is
turbing the birds on Laysan or any of
the smaller islands is forbidden, and
announcing that the reservation will
be protected, by whatever means are
necessary, for the benefit of all the
peoples of the world.

not raise the 5000 bond required, took
his three little children TO the police

custody as surety for his wife's ap-

by the strike committee.
The rioting followed the attempt to
reopen the Minnequa steel mills, closed
since July. Austrian women stoned
the workers who tried to enter the
plant.

STATES PROTEST ACT
 RATES OF RAILROADS

Attacking the four -cent-per- r-mile passenger Nrate on the railroads, the state corporation commissions in Ari- zona, Nevada and New Mexico have joined in a petition which will be filed with the interstate commerce commission today.
 F. A. Jones of the corporation com mission stated yesterday that the ac ton was brought on the ground that the rate was unlawful and in violation of sections 1, 2 and of the interstate commerce commission act. He claims that the rate is neither just nor req sonable and that it discriminates in favor of Wyoming. Montana Utah, Colorado and the interior of California, where the rate is three cents mile.
 The commissions have asked for a hearing at the earliest possible date. preferably at Albuquerque. While it is believed that the case will come to an issue this summer. it will not benefit the rates this season should it be de- cided in favor of the three states filing the petition.

AT LAST HE KNOWS
 WHERE HIS HOME |S

What do you mean. where do you Iive2
 That is the question the state tax commission asked and decided for H. H. Scorse, prominent sheep man. who gave his address as Navajo and Pinal counties.
 The question of residence arose when Mr. Scorse paid his taxes in Pinal county last year and remitted Navajo county a share of the taxes, which it refused to accept, and brought the matter to the state tax commits sion. MT. Scorse was so popular in both counties that both claimed him and demanded that he pay taxes. While his sheep ranged hither and yon in Navajo and Pinal he himself became confused and appeared before the com mission, which served as a clearing house. It was decided that Scorse pay all the tax to Navajo county. providing the county make proper distribution of taxes to other counties according to the affidavit of Mir. Scorse showing the time during which his sheep ranged in other counties
 Despite the fact that the tax rates are lower in Pinal county than Navajo county. Scorse was so delighted at finding out just where he lived that he offered no objection to the ruling which will increase his taxes very ma terially.

 Friday night sure looks like big night at Riverside park. On this night King Brady with his unrivalled band of jazz experts assumes charge of the dance music at the Riverside ballroom, to continue there through out the season. This announcement has been the source of any amount or congratulation for the management of Arizonas S most popular amusement center, for King Brady stands supreme as the dance music expert of the city and his band will furnish that same sort of music that has made him the most appreciated conductor to ever play an engamement at Phoenix.
 And on Friday night the Gingham party takes place. This is in reality 8 contest to decide the prettiest dresses of gingham worn by the ladies. Fifty dollars has been hung up in prizes, to be divided three ways-$25 first money. $15 second. and $10.
