MYSTIC FIGURE
 ARBUCkLE BANE
Thirteen Strangely Figures in the Grewsome Episode of Crime
 in California.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S. -- Again does the mystic figure 6f 13 appear in the life of Roscoe ("Fatty'J Arbuckle. On the thirteenth of the month the film comedian went on trial third time for manslaughter As re- suit Of the death of Virginia Rappe, pretty film actress, who died following gay Labor Day party given at a local hotel by Arbuckle.
 Since the inception of the case the number thirteen has figured persist entity.
 But it has no terrors for Arbuckle "The thirteenth is just as good a day as any" the film comedian said as he appeared in the courtroom in which he has spent so much time in the last few months.
 There were prospects that the third trial would be even longer drawn out than the first two. The first trial re- quired about three weeks, ending in a hung" jury, which voted ten to two to acquit. The second trial took four weeks and resulted in a ten to two disagreement, the majority fav- bring conviction.

GOATS AND PIGS GOOD
 CORD0VA FAMILY ASSET

Letters of inquiry concerning milch-goats are going out on the SS. Victoria and several pairs of the wonderful "nannies" may be expected some time during the summer. Con- menting on the recent suggestion in The Times, Meyer Blum, the banker, said that while visiting Naples and other cities in Italy some time ago, he observed the Italian milk deliv- cry system-direct from goat to con- sumer. The milkman, in charge of the festive goat, made his presence known beneath the windows of the homes, he said, whereupon a can was let down upon cord and the goat was milked the required amount.
 "Gjaetost," pronounced "yate- oste," yate for goat and oste for cheese, may be one of the by-pro- ducts, if the animals are established for use at Cordova. Jules Dahlager, who has fine ranch home on Va shon Island, near Tacoma and Seat tie, is something of an authority on this industry, which is well adapted to the Northland The cheese, he says, has a goatish smell and flavor but is rich and sweet, especially fine in health diet.
 Each family here probably throws away enough scrape food to keep a milch goat, MT. Dahlager said, and several could be kept for the main tenance cost of one COW.
 Pigs also would thrive here, like the wonderful herd of Charles Ross, on his Hinchinbrook Island farm, but as far as known Cordova is pigless. It would be "all hogged up" to in- crease family wealth, if persons gen. orally knew how easy it is to raise them, MT. Dahlager said. q don't believe I'd bother with one, how ever." he said Gle is a bachelor, deyoting all his leisure to painting and fine art with which the care of a live pig would not harmonize.)

FIRE AT COPPER CENTER

A seriQus fire occurred at Copper Center when the roadhouse farm and store houses, owned by John McCrary were totally destroyed.
 The fire was caused by creoote in the stove pipe, and had reached a great height before awakening Mur, dock Mclean Who was the only oc- cupant Of the house and who escaped by jumping from the second story iii his underwear. He was wakened by the noise of cartridges exploding.
 The loss is estimated at forty thousand dollars, for in addition to buildings, stock of provisions and furs and twenty quarters of beef which had been raised on the place, were destroyed.
 MT. McCrary, who has the mail con tract between Chitina and Gulkanaa, was absent on mail trip. A small in- surance was carried.
 Although he is very much upset at his tremendous loss, it is MT. Me Crary's intention to rebuild as soon as possible.
 McCrary's place was one Of the finest on the Fairbanks trail, and the fruit of nearly twenty years of labor on the part of the family. Everybody in the Copper River Valley is sympa- thizing with them.

REVEAL TONS OF 4 WIFE
ADELE GARRISON

wondered, as I had done many times
before. whether my little friend means
to be delicately feline or is unconscious
Of the tiny scratches she sometimes
gives. She did not employ a maid, but
did her homework herself, save for
the aid given her by q laundress two
days week. Her house was fully as
large as mine, and her son brought
many friends home for entertainment
1t was not the first time that, uncon-
sciously or artfully, she had insinuated
that my house wouldn't look as well
as hers If 1 employed no more help
than she did. But she is so true and
dear a friend in so many ways that ]
never allow the doubt as to the limo
cence of her little verbal pinpricks to
make any difference In my attitude
toward her.
Cant you come over to dinner?" ]
asked cordially.
THANK you, but I've got one of AL
fred's favorite dishes already prepar-
ing for his dinner, and it won't be nice
tomorrow. I'm getting everything he
likes of his mothers cooking these
days, for dear knows when he'll have
any of 1t again. But we will be over
early, so we can have a nice long
evening together"
Mrs. Durkee's tones were bright and
CHEEKY as ever, yet through them ran
the minor cadence that I knew meant
suffering. But also knew that she
wished no sympathy. She had told me
that she could keep from weeping only
by talking and acting as if everything
was as usual.
Il know what we'l1 do, then" I re-
turned, in a voice as CHEEKY as her
own. "This is still April, even though
only a few days are left of IT, and I
think oysters will still be good, don't
your" ..,..
1T has surely been cold enough"
Mrs. Durkee returned, 'but IL you're
going to fuss around with something
to eat. we won't come"
Nonsense" I returned, for I knew
her protests of old, and that they were
merely perfunctory-thatt the little wo-
man delighted in a late evening supper
ALFRED and Dicky both love popped
oysters. to say nothing OF the rest OF
us. and Dicky was saying only the
other night he hadn't had a rarebtt for
ages. You know how Dicky loves to
make q rarebit"
II know I ought to stay at home"
she returned, but OF course. you feel
about Dicky as I do about Alfred. You
want to let him do everything he
speaks of doing. suppose he'll be 60
ing to Plattsburg soon himself"
Were her words q question in dis
guise or was she simply confident that
Dicky, too. would answer the call of
his country as readily as her son had
done? I didn't know. I only know
that my inability TO answer her proud
y, confidently, Inundated me.

summer country homes and garden
plots for the workers home.
In sense, modern civilization con-
siders these things ideal.
Yet 1t is doubtful IL the company's
employees are as happy as the en-
ployes of many centuries ago, when
the miner lugged his ore away from
the mine and sms1ted It in his home.
We have gained a lot of things by
our modern industrial system. Also,
we have lost a lot.
The age of alarm clocks, time clocks
and system keeps US Gagged in offices
and shops which our ancestors would
have considered prisons.
Our great grandfathers felled trees,
made clearings in the wilderness, built
log cabins. Musket balls, moulded at
an open fireplace, brought them veni-
son, wild turkey and other game.
Tanned deerskin and spinning wheel
solved the clothing problem. Forests
yielded free fuel.
Great grandfather had to chop thu
firewood, and he had to work a few
hours day in his garden. But his be-
loved home was in sight at ell times
And the children ro11icked around him
as he welded axe and hoe.
Life was in the open-healthy, glori-
GUS, with birds singing by the thou-
sands and sweet woodland scents FL
tering through the sunshine on the
pure air.
We eat out of tin can and a storage
plant now. Our water is treated chem
ically to kill germs. Spinning wheel
and deer are gone; clothing eats into
our pay. Forests are nearing extinc-
ton and sooty coal costs like sixty.
All is Observation-Disclosures this regu-
lated. that prohibited. Such is prog
ress. And the ultimate goal is-what?
No one knows. Apparently though
the goal isn't happiness and health.

THE CURSE OF PRIZE FIGHTING

Tex Richard. who promoted the Car
pentfer-Dempsey fight, has been ar
rested on charges involving the NOR
atty of 15-year-old girl This girl
with another IL, and another II, told
their story to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, and
the police.
OF course. we haven't the least idea
whether or not Rickard is guilty. We
are willing to give any human being
the benefit of the doubt when it comes
to charges so nearly unbelievable.
However, It is pertinent to remark
in this connection that nastiness of
this kind, is, according to rumor, fire.
quently to be located around prize
fighting camps and the stables Of race
tracks. Prize fighting, because Of its
brutality and gambling, because of It's
degradation of character, seems to
produce as a side1ine natural vices.
1t Is absolutely impossible to promote
prize fighting in a community without
indirectly promoting every anti-socia1
influence. Boxing is healthful and
beneficial. Prize fighting Is not re-
motely like it. One boxes with his
brother, but one certainly does not
prize fight with his brother-not if
he has any natural feelings.

DRINK iMPovERlsHlNe AUSTRIA.


Austria's enormous drink bill has
aroused renewed agitation in certain
quarters for some form of at least
modified prohibition. An official state
ment says 1t amounted last year to
211, 600. 000.00 kronen (about (6.22o,-
000, 000).
This is three times greater than the
national coal bill and about equal to
the total currency circulation.
Imports Of alcoholic beverages ex-
ceeded exports by about 100000
kronen.
Its most ardent advocates. however,
acknowledge that prohibition is viz
tualIy an impossibility in this country
at least for many years. Beer and
wines form a part of the sustenance of
the people from youth up and no polit-
ical party dares make it a plank in its
platform or openly advocate 1t.
Two years ago when the social dem
ocrats were in power their leaders dis
cussed the wisdom of such a step, but
after a careful investigation realized
1t could not be done and the party
survive. They did, however, authorize
a quiet campaign against excessive
drinking, as well as to prepare the
youth of the country for a possible
future effort for prohibition.
In many other ways, not only the
social democrats but many leading
men of all parties have stressed the
need of sobriety In people who face
such a struggle to survive as do the
Austrians.
President Hainisch, himself a tee
totaller, frequently makes temperance
the note of his public addresses. The
other day he remarked to a delegation
that the sight Of a nation as hard
drinking as this asking prohibition
America for aid was hardly pleasant
one.
The Arbeiter zeitung, the working
mans organ, in an editorial last week
said: '1f Impoverished Austria could
summon half the moral energy the
United States displayed in the sup
preston of drink she would soon have
no need to go begging Of all the world"
The new taxation schedules just put
into effect increase the tax on beer 800
per cent, on wine $50 per cent, and on
spirits 1000 per cent,
It is generally conceded that any
step toward prohibition must have the
Endorsement of all parties, as no party
alone could survive such an issue with
the powerful opposition of the great
body of the people from working man
to peasant.
One step has been accomplished of
late by the removal from some of the
largest industrial plants Of the can
teens where the men could get beer
and wine at any hour.
