The name Aurora BOreaIis" was first used by Cassendi, who, in 162l, observed one in France and wrote d description of it. The "aurOra' is pc riodic i'll it's manifestations, the finest display being at intervals of 60 years, and less marked ones at intervals Ot ten or eleven years. It is asserted that the greater and lesser displays correspond with the increase and de- crease of spots on the sun. This phenomenon is generally manifested in the following way: A dim light ap- pears on the horizon shortly after twi- light and gradually assumes tue shape of an arch having pale yellow color, with it's cOncaYe side turned earth ward From this arch streams of light shoot forth, passing from yellow t" green and th2n to brilliant violet.

Conversation Overheard by Sur.
veyor Leads TO Confiscation
of Thousands i'm Coods

chance conversation overheard on
Fifth Avenue bus by Surveyor of the
Port Thomas E. Rush a day or two
ago led to raid of customs inspectors
yesterday on the steamer Fort Pitt
Bridge, lying at the foot Of Montague
Street. Brooklyn, and the alleged con-
tiscation of thousands Of dollars worth
of laces, silks, linens and whisky and
nineteen revolvers on which no duty
had been paid.
Surveyor Rush learned that the bus
takers were from the Fort Pitt Bridge.
Their conversation had been about the
customs upheaval and what an easy
thing it is to get goods off ships. The
Surveyor sent searching squad, in
charge of Inspector Albert C. Hoken-
sen, to take look at the steamer.
which had recently arrived from Vigo.
Spain. In the coal hold, beneath several
tons of coal, it is asserted, the inspect
ors found the revolvers. In one of the
big water tanks, the officers said, they
found fifty-one bottles of whisky, and
one of the cargo holds is said to have
yielded several thousand dollars worth
of silk underwear, laces, silk stock
ings, table linen and perfumes. The
contiscated goods were taken to the
Custom House.

Rail Executives Approue
The Presidents Decision,
Labor Board the Appropriate
Body to Settle Issue, Wires
Cuyler; Union Chiefs Silent

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Thomas De Witt
Cuyler, chairman of the Association
Of Railway Executives, tonight replied
to President Wilson's telegram on the
railroad situation by telegraphing the
Chief Executive that the railroads
were gratified that he had seen fit to
refer the questions involved to the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
TO the Railway Labor Board.
The railway labor union leaders de-
ferred comment on President, Wilson's
telegram until tomorrow, several of
the chief executives Of the unions
being cut of the city tonight.
Mr.. Cuyler's telegram to President
Wilson said in part:
Your conclusion that the United
States Railway Labor Board is the ap-
propriate body to settle the questi
row properly before it and that the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
the appropriate body to settle any
other questions regarding the re-
sponsibility Of the railroad companies
for the character of their operation, is,
in our judgment, the sound and proper
conclusion. We appreciate your pro
noting the cause of orderly procedure
by the position which you have taken. /"
It was said in union circles that
when the labor board reconyenes to-
morrow, the labor side might ask for

subject.
1t was in some such conversation as
this that Bradford is thought to have
come to decision that there was but
one way to solve the mystery. Two
mlnds, properly attuned, must needs
be used, and one of these minds must
shake off it's earthly mantle, he is said
to have held.
- Accorlng to Mr.. Narcotic, Professor
Bradford went to bed early Friday eve
nlng and requested that if any one
called to tell them he was out and
would not return until late hour.
When he did not see Professor
Bradford Saturday he went I'D to his
room, and on approaching the door
round gas was pouring from nnder the
doorslll. He pushed the uoor and found
1t open. On entering he discovered the
man in the bed dead. Coroner Bur
death due to suicide by gas and or
dered the body removed to the morgue.
According to Mr.. Narcotic, Bradford
appeared at the store conducted bv the
former Friday.
Several works on spiritualism and
Two trunks were among the articles
found in his room.
Mr.. Narcotic says Bradford told him
that in his younger days he was star
athlete and champion pole yaulter of
the Detroit Athletic Club. He would
often put on a frock coat and imperson-
ate DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde, and this
seemed to be one Of his favorite i'm
presentations.
Bradford is said to have been ne
gotlatlng for the publication of a book
on splritualism which he had written.

A jazz band engaged to furnish
music for Sunday night festivities at
the Duane Field Club, on the third fioer
OF the building at 158 Park Row, had
just begun lively air at $3.50 O'Clock
last night when pistol shot was heard
from the sidewalk below This shot
was followed by about fifteen other
shots, fred in rapid succession.
The music stopped. Heads popped
from windows on both sides of the
street and members of the club raced
downstairs to the sidewalk. In front
of the building they found three VIC
times of the shooting, one fatally
wounded, one seriously and one slightly
Dies in Few Minutes
Michael Den.osci, twenty-six years
old, seaman. of 472 Pearl Street,
who was fatally wounded, died within
a few minutes The two other men
shot were George j. Bellitti, twenty
eight years old, of 81 Baxter Street,
and Frank Uale, twenty Eight, an un-
dertaker, of 6605 Fourteenth Avenue,
Brooklyn.
Demosci was shot through the head,
Bellitti was shot in the head and
chest and Uale shot through the
chest.
Uale was removed to Broad Street
Hospital. Bellitti, whose condition is
not serious, was locked up at the Eliz-
abeth Street station after being given
medical attention He is being held as
a material witness.
The dead man and the two wounded
men, the police believe, were emerging
from hallway at 158 Park Row when
they were fired upon by three unidenti-
fed gunner. Demosci, the first man
shot, ran several yards before he fell.
Bellitti and Uale dropped directly in
front of the building.
The flying bullets broke several VIM
dow panes and spattered against the
sides of the hallway from which the
men are believed to have been emerg-
ing. AS the shots were being fired
pedestrians scurried for cover, and the
gunmen. after dropping the third man,
darted southwark on Park Row and
made good their escape.
Police Arrived Too Late
According to the police, the three
victims and the gunmen are believed
TO have been participants in q free-for-
all fist fight at the Park Row address
late Saturday night and three of tho e
engaged in the fight got decidedly the
worst of it. 1t is believed that these
three, with desire to even matters,
returned to the scene last night and
began firing Immediately upon sight of
their adyarsaries.
Patrolman Frederick Ulsanan, of the
Oak Street station, was a short dis
tance from 15S Park Row when the
shooting began. He saw a squirt of
flame when the second shot was fred
and dashed toward the gunner. But
when he reached the front of Che build
ing the three men had vanished and
their victims lay on the sidewalk.

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. Ga sug-
gestion made at the State Hospital for
the Insane at Norwich that hopelessly
insane persons be mercifully put to
death has found favor with certain
members of the joint committee on
appropriations of the Connecticut
Legislature, which reconvenes in this
city Tuesday.
Whether or not the plan of officially
and deliberately putting chronic
manlacs out of misery win come be-
fore the general assembly in the
form Of bill is problematical, for
January % was the time limit for in
Producing bills for such innovations,
and it is generally felt the idea would
get short shrift from the Legislature
and the public of this "land of steady
habits" which has not yet ratified the
woman suffrage amendment and is
still asking when prohibition goes
in;o effect.
On an official visit to the Norwich
Asylum yesterday, Superintendent
Franklin S. Wilcox showed the mem
bers of the appropriations committee
an inmate, about fifty years of age
and a veritable giant in stature,
manacled to an iron bed placed in a
padded cell some distance from other
the maniac that he has not been un-
shackled in five years except occa-
sionally when three of the most
powerful guards have unclaimed him
TO give him a bath
Superintendent Wilcox told Senator
Edward Hall, of New Britain, and his
colleagues on the appropriations COM
mlttee that the patient could never re-
cover MS reason and would have to re-
main fettered to the iron cot until
death freed him. 1t was at this point
that several members of the committee
=, ii tna5 the man were better dead
than alive in the asylum, and suggested
: "a" which would provide that per-
sons found to be hopelessly insane
after observation and examination by
experts should be put to death as mer-
clfully as possible, presumably by poi
son.
The advocates of this radical depart-
ure from Connecticut custom and view
point admitted the objection of the diff
hculty of selecting and authorizing the
proper tribunal, even if it were possi-
pie co md any one who would be will
ing to issue a death warrant for a
maniac. superintendent Wilcox re-
ported that whereas when he went n
Norwich in 1913 there were only 1,177
patients there are now 1897, of whom
oof are women, but he attributes the
increase to wider understanding and

Just heard 1t with his own ears, "but

Yes, yes" said DR.. Pease. "The
average child is poisoned by tobacco
before it is born, through the mothers
having to irhale the poisonous smoke,
and it is conducive to immortality in
women smokers because it lessons the
moral sense. And. as for smoking in
public places frequented by non-smok-
ers, it is criminal invasion of the
constitutional right of the individual" !"
Yes" said the reporter, 1.-The Sem
Fighting on Broad Front
"The Non-Smokers' Protective
League" replied Dr.. Pease, divining
the purport of the question with that
ease which aroused the admiration of
Annette Hazelton for his mental and
moral force, "of which ! am president
is growing in strength and influence,
but the activity against smoking is not
so great at the present time as it will
be when the hysteria created by the
Red Cross and the governmental work
in the army has susided."
"How about making the vote of the
Senate campaign issue at the next
Senatorial elections?" suggested the
reporter swiftly.
1--WE are fighting" replied DR.. Pease,
"for humanity in combating this evil
addiction and we are fighting along
broad front, which opposes such vile
menaces to health as the consumption
Of coffee, tea, cocoa and chocolate
drinks, as well as nicotine"
The reporter knows when he is
licked. He took his, hat and went.
DR.. Pease accompanied him to the
door.
"Habitual use of tea, coffee, cocoa,
chocolate sodas or chocolate candy" he
said, as the reporter descended the
steps, "effects changes in the tissues
which bring about degeneration and
therefore is an evil"
