Tanning was smart enough to
solve Brady's rather monotonous
attack early enough to pile up a
commanding lead before the ninth
round. He discovered that Brady's
right hand was ,of little conse-
auence and played the right side Of
the Chicagoan's body with telling
effect Brady is a fast boxer, but
! not a fighter. Every time he had
the chance to mix, he chose to

BLUE LAWS ARE TAME
 COMPARED TO VeLuks
Sale of Drugs, and Even Doctors Offices Barred
 Under His Orders.

Zion, ILL, Aug. 12.-Wilbur Glen Voliva, oyerseer of Zion, renewed his attack today on religious organizations which nave opened churches here in opposition to the Zion church with the encouragement that the famous leases of Alexander Dowie would be changed to prohibit the transfer of property without the personal approval of the overseer.
 The new leases will be for 1,079 years being added to cover the period during which the Lord is expected to con1e again and take his saints out of the world for seven years, according to Dowie's teaching. At the end of the seven years they will be returned to establish his rule throughout the world for one thousand years.
 Dowie's leases made in 1900 were for HOO years. The seven year flight of the saints to Heaven was to take place some time during the extra 100 years. The new leases running 1,079 years, will terminate, like the originals in the year 5000.
 The leases forbid the sale or stor- age in Zion of pork, lard or other products of swine; the construction or operation of theaters, opera, nov ing picture houses, circuses, dance halls, secret societies, the keeping or sale of intoxicants, sale e manufac- ture of tobacco, operating of a drug store or sale or drugs and the use of any property as the residence or office of a physician or surgeon.

Ansonia, Aug. 12.-Fifteen automo- piles were burned early this morning in a fire which destroyed H. G. Fos- dicks garage on Central street and gutted the bakery of John Zawacki, adjoining.

MAINE APPLE CROP

Conn. Onion Crop Cut Short and
 State Tobacco Crop Has Been

State Tobacco Crop Has Been
 Damaged in Sections.
 Wakefield. Mass. Aug. 12.-akaina has fallen from first to fourth place in apple crop prospects of the country because o July drought. V. A Sanders, New England crop statis- tician of the federal bureau of markets announced today. Oregon now leads.
 Maine's condition Is 7S; Massa- chusetts z8, Rhode Island 22, and Connecticut l33, MT. Sanders said New England's commercial apple crop was forecast as 1,os9,S50 bar rels. against 1,285.000 last year.
 The Aroostook potato crop is not quite up to normal, Mr. Sanders said.
 The New England tobacco crop has made a good growth, but frequent hail storms lately have done heavy damage in limited areas. mainly in Connecticut. Connecticut valley onions have been cut short with but little over 50 per cent of normal growth by recent humid weather and insects.
 July showers caused a generally rapid gain in hay throughout New England except in the dry northern sections, MT. Sanders said. Oats gained slightly in July but are still below average. The corn ccrop in New England is good.

NEW WARNING DEVICE
 IS INSTALLED TODAY
Latest in Grade Crossing Signals At Wooster
 Street Tracks.

The Morrison dashlight highway crossing signal. operating day and night, was placed in service at the Wooster street railroad crossing.
 Upon the approach of train these signals flash every two seconds a high-powered electric red light, in both directions on the highway, and continue to flash until the train has passed over the crossing.
 These signals are attached to the standard highway. crossing signs, To- cated on both sides of the railroad crossing. and consist of disc 24 inches in diameter. In the center of this disc is an eight-inch red glass through which shines a flashing light giving a beam of 5000 candle power. This light Is so intense that 1t can be seen a considerable distance in bright sunlight. Surrounding this red light and on the face of the disc are the words When red stop'' 60 arranged
 that they are illuminated at night The mechanism of these signals Is as near perfect as human ingenuity can make it. An experience of years
 with the same apparatus in signals governing train movements on the principal railroads show that failures are almost unknown.
 These crossing signals are in ser vice day and night. while at most crossings fagmen are only employed during busy hours Further, regard less of how faithful a crossing flag man is, his crossing disc. white nag, or lamp, cannot be seen nearly as far as the Morrison signal, and under no conditions can he attract attention as surely as the thiEh-powered light fash ing red along and across the highway , every two seconds when a train Is ap- preaching the crossing.
 When this signal is fiashing rcd

 before passing signal and wait until passage of the train verscrossing. If signal continues to Hash after train passes over crossing. 1t indicates ap- -proach of AnotAer train either on same track or one adjoining.

HOMESCK SPANISH BOY, LEFT BEHIND
 ON DAY HE WAS TO START FOR SPAIN
displacement of Passports Prevents His Departure With Others Who Are Homeward Bound.

The Spanish boy who recently wrote a letter to Mayor Curtis, ad- dressing him as the father of the city," and pleaded for aid, saying his parents were "on the other side" that he was out of work, mad no food and wanted to go home, Is out of luck again.
 After getting so far as to have his baggage packed and loaded onto a truck, himself aboard the truck and actually started on the journey home, he has been left behind and his fel- low countrymen have gone without him.
 At the time the letter was received, Mayor Curtis asked Charity Superin- tendent William Cowlishaw to) have the boy deported as soon as possible. Arr rangements were made to send him with the first crowd going back. The party which sailed from New York this morning included him, originally, when leaving New Britain, but before arriving in Hartford his place had been taken by another.
 It was discovered upon starting that the boy had lost his passports. It was useless to try and send him without any, so he returned to his boarding house, where he discovered the missing papers in a trunk. Over- joyed. he rushed back to the truck with his papers, only to find that someone else had been selected in his place. Attorney E. Rogers Jones. and Inspector C1ementino, who were pre- sent, stated that it was impossible to get more than the original 25 on the boat, so the boy will have to wait for the next group to be deported. In the meantime he will take good care of his passports

At sunrise on August 2, a bright object was observed near the sun by w. w. Campbell, director of Lick ob- servatory, which is located near San Jose, Cal. It was described as brighter than Venus and was located three degrees east and one degree south of the sun. Five persons saw the Celestial object, and reports fpom the observatory indicated that ex- perts there believed it might be the nucleus of a bright comet. It would appear probable that this identifica- ton was correct, in view of the fore- going report from Germany.

 M. Litvinoff stated that British, French and, other subjects whose re- patriation had been arranged long ago, were still appearing now and then asking for passports to leave Russia. He added that if the United States insisted on the delivery of all the Americans on the list handed him the Russian famine proba bly, would
