Reporter Josephus Daniels
Quizzes DENLY, His Successor

WASHINGTON, March 10
Josephus Daniels was back at the
Navy department TO-DAY, but to
ask, not to answer, questions.
Joining the group of Washing
ton correspondents at the regular
press conference with Secretary
Denby, Mr.. Daniels fired a few
questions at his successor, hoping
for a STORY fo rhis paper, the
Raleigh IN. CD News and OBJ
server. They produced no results,
so the former secretary described
feelingly to Mr.. Denby the natu-
raj advantages of Raleigh for a
fleet base, or naval air station, or
almost anything like that.

Great Baby Shrlnkaoe.

Doctor Johnson's dictum that "births

rather IKE wide shot In the pres

by the Cambridge University Press.
These figures occur In the report OF q
paper read by Mr.. g. Udny Yule. NJ.
A., at the university, and they show
that in England and Wales the annual
birth rate per thousand has been
halved In the last 40 years. In the
light Of this comparison the present

II is said that there are no snakes
In Ireland, but the story that they
were driven out by st. Patrick II
probably based more on hearsay than
historical evidence. The phrase "Con.
corning Snakes In Ireland" is frequent
ly quoted In connection with the above
story, but the phrase Is Itself mis-
quotation and had In reality nothing
to do with snakes In Ireland. The orig
inal phrase does not refer to Ireland
at all, but to Iceland. In transla-
ton Of Harebone's works, "The Nat
ural History Of Iceland" published In
London In 1853, chapter AZ Is headed
Concerning Owls" and Is as follows:
"There are no owls Of any kind In the
whole island" Chapter 72 is en-
titled concerning Snakes" and the
entire chapter Is as follows: mo
snakes Of any kind are to be met with
throughout the. whole OF the island"
The application Of the phrase to Ire
land probably at first arose from .

FOUGHT WAR OVER LAP DOG
Matter Of History That Conflict b.
tween the Fiorsntlneo and Citizens
Of Pisa Began Thus.

One Of the bitterest .of the minor
wars Of history was fought over q
lap dog. In the thirteenth century a
Florentine emissary attending the cor
onation ceremonies OF Frederick II
saw and admired lap dog belonging
to cardinal. The church official, not
ing the admiration, promptly assured
the Florentine that the dog was his,
and the emissnry agreed to send for
Il. The ambassador from Pisa saw
and admired the same dog, and was
Just as promptly promised II on tho
morrow. Both men sent for the dog.
but the Florentine's servant, being
FIRST, carried II away. The citizens OF
Rome, hearing Of the incident, began
to Joke about II. and the visiting Flor
entines were especially vicious about
the matter. Street fights began and
when news Of the affair reached Pisa
the citizens seized all the Florentine
shipping in the bay. "
The war that followed was first Of
q series that ended with Pisa falling
before the triumphant Florentines,
and the beginning OF the wane Of
her power. The famous leaning tower
Of Pisa was only one skyscrnper Of q
score or more, although the others
have long since crumbled down. These
towers proved valuable In the attacks
Of the Florentine army, but one by
one were overcome, and the first city
Of the world to have skyscraper
skyline. lost its unique standing.

NEW STORY ABOUT PILGRIMS
Writers Claim Early Settlers In Ansri.
ca Were Kidnapped From the
', London Virginia Company. Ped.

Some historians. notably Azell Ames.
who has complied ''The Mayfower and
Her Log from original sources, as.
sert that the skipper of the Mayfiower
was Capt. Thomas Jones, rougn
seadog who had led more or less
piratical career on the high seas. Be-
tween Capt. Jones and Sir Ferdinando
Gorges and doubtless Weston. they al.
lege that n plot existed whereby the
Pilgrims were deliberately stolen from
the London Virginia company and
planted on territory outside Of the Vir-
ginla grant. The maneuverlng about
Cape Cod, according to this interpre-
tatlon. was simply part Of the plot
to discourage the Pilgrims from set
Ting near the Hudson, as evidently
they intended when they left Holland.
The exact Identity Of Master jones'
Is not clear. Historians OF the Massa-
chusetts Historical society say that the
skipper was one Christopher Jones. a
trustworthy man. entirely different
from Capt. Thomas Jones, who was
known to have a checkered career dur
Ing his voyages to Virginia and other
colonies. The course Of American
colonial history may have been greatly
changed when the = Pilgrims encoun-
tered the shoals and unfnvorable
winds of Cape Cod. but this bit OF
destiny can be easily exaggerated. 1t
is sufficient here to relate that the
Pilgrim colony was founded outside
the jurisdiction Of the London Virginia
company.
