interested.
There is contemplated the construc-

which, it is said, will prove the great

All roads operating thru that ter

cheap electric power thru the con-

the electrification of their lines thru
that country, but SO far as is known
here, the Staley system is a new or

Squirrel Cage Chatter

New York, Oct. 6.-Love and UNI
pires are blind, said Socrates, utility
outfielder for the Athenian Red Sox,
centuries ago. How he could asso-
ciate love with umpires is mystify-
ing, but Socrates was not present yes
terday when even an umpire's father
hated his son.
When Umpire Hildebrand called the
game on account of darkness, such a
wall was slapped against the Atlantic
seaboard as would make the lamenta-
ton of jeremiah seem like a paen of
joy in comparison.
And above all the tumult, all but
unanimous, laundering reverberating,
cataclysmic boo. Regardless of pro-
hibition, the boys were chuck full of
"boos" All the boos that had been
laid by in summer to be expended
on the coal man in winter, were un-
leashed.
All the boos that ever were, were
disinterred. There had been boos for
Barnes when he walked the big Babe.
There had been drum fire of sporadic
boos for various and sundry baseball

LIKES TO CRACK SAFES.
At S6, Harry Morton Says He VIII Try
Another "JObo

Kansas City. Mo-, Oct. 6.-'Tm s6,
but I'm not thru opening safes yet"
Such is the proud boast of Harry
Morton, alias Muldoon, aged crook,
now in Jail here
Old man Morton admits he is the
'oldest and best safe cracker in the
country.
1t is a rather ironical fact that the
man who is confident he can crack
any safe in the country is doing time
for forging several small checks.
"A man should stick to his own
stuff" Morton said. why should an
expert safe man like me monkey
around with checks?''
Morton has done four Stretches in
penitentiaries. The first conviction
came in 1875 About two months 40
the aged criminal was released from
his fourth prison term at the Leaven-
worth, Kan, federal prison.

FLOCK TO FOREIGN VESSELS

Washington, Oct. 6.-AH American
ships, privately owned, as well as those
operated by the government, will be
outlawed as rum sellers by an opinion
of Attorney General Daugherty ex-
pected to be made public within a few
days.
The attorney general is understood
to take the position that the law
follows the flag" This means that
liquor sales, which have boosted
American shipping board traffic, will
suddenly decline and thousands of
overseas passengers will seek otner
routes on which foreign owned ships
are allowed to dispense the cup that
cheers without legal limitation.
Shipping Board VIII Lose.
The shipping board today estimated
that its loss on that account will
probably increase the government
deficit by many thousands of dollars.
Chairman Lasker is reconciled to the
attorney generals decision and said he
would await a final adjudication OF
the matter by the supreme court.
Shipping board revenues have in
creased about 400 per cent since Mr.
Lasker's legal advisers decided to al
low shipping board vessels to possess
and sell liquor for beverage purposes

Attorney General Daugherty said
today that his opinion, designed to

the Treasury Mellon within a few
days What he will actually decide
will be known only when that opinion
lis made public. Several revisions oil

Paris, Oct 6.-Man's Unsuitable de-
sire for prolonged youth has sounded
the death-knell for the race of Chin
panzees.
Every chimpanzee and other large
ape in the jungles of Africa is doomed
to extinction within a comparatively
short period unless the transference of
monkey glands to weakened and
weak-minded children and to old men
who have lost their vigor proves to be
based on false theory, or unless some
way of keeping chimpanzees healthy
and happy in captivity is discovered
by zoo-keepers.
Neither of these last events seems
likely, alas, for the chimpanzee! And,
alas for DR.. Serge Veronoff, who has
announced from his Partisan labora-
tory that he will soon make positive
and scientific assertion, following
three years of satisfactory clinical ex-
periments, that any. chimpanzee gland
may be transferred with good result to
the human body.
Already DR.. Veronoff has succeeded

The only trouble, according to DR..
Veronoff, is in getting enough CHM
panzees. He has nine at present and
needs more Each costs at least $500
to bring from Africa. AS yet the
glands of no other ape have been dis
covered to be adaptable for the pur-
pose. The operations will become
more common-the chimpanzees more
rare.
DR.. Veronoff, whose wife was Miss
Fanny Bostwick, American heiress,
supports his own laboratory and pays
all costs of his experimental opera
tions, including importing and main
tanning the chimpanzees.
