TWO DROP DEAD WHEN
 STRANGE TO NATIVES OF
 SOUTH SEA ISLAND GROUP

BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. It, Dr. William B. Herms, professor of parasitology at the University of California, returned recently from the South Seas with the description of natives on the Tanning group of islands who were shown their first mirrors when his party arrived. When photographs of them were talk en, he explained, they often failed to recognize themselves. Their own conferences apparently were very strange to them.
 He found these natives fond of edornment and very primative in their habits. They were friendly.
 Dr. Herms said there was evidence that the islands had been occupied in ancient times by Polynesians. There were indications, too, that strains of the Malay and the Amer ican Indian apparently had been con- tributed to the native race. He saw no point of contact with the African negroes, however.

POPE WILL OPEN JUBILEE YEAR BY BREAKING INTO HOLY DOOR

ROME, Dec. 11.-On Christmas Eve of this year Pope Pious XI will break open the famous Porta Santa doors in St. Peters in Rome, with a golden hammer, in celebration of the beginning of the Year of Jubilee. which is observed in the Catholic Church every twenty-five years. The door will remain open until Decem- Der 25, 1925, when it will be closed until 1850.
 During the year the Holy Door is open thousands of pilgrims from all parts of the world will journey here to receive special spiritual awards.
 1t is interesting to note that al most simultaneously with the break ing of the door the body of Pope Leo, at rest in St. Peters will be transfer red to its permanent tomb in the Ca- thedral of St. John.

JOHNSON CANNOT
 SECURE OAKLAND
 BALLPLAYERS
WASHINGTON ACE AND PART NER FAIL GET BACKING
 DEAL IS OFF.

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. h.
 PlaIs of Walter Johnson, pitch
 ing ace of the Washington Am
 crlcan league baseball club, and
 George M. Weiss, owner of the
 New Haven club of the Eastern
 league, to purchase the Oakland
 Coast league club have been re-
 gently abandoned, it was announce
 ed here last night.
 Johnson and Weiss failed to make their second payment of $25,OOO on the club, which was due today, and the deal was called off. They paid $5,OOO as an initial payment Iast Mon day, but stockholders of the Oak land club last night voted to return this sum to Johnson and Weiss.
 The two eastern baseball men, who were to have paid total of $35O,OO0 for the Oakland club, inti- mated that men upon whom they had counted for backing had failed to support them and they were un- able to finance the deal
 Johnson and Weiss had been so sure of the success of their plans, however, that they had made plans for rebuilding the local park and for obtaining players from major league clubs.
 Johnson left last night for his home in Reno, Nev., it was learned today, and Weiss, who is still here, expects to leave for his home in New Haven within a day or two.
 Almost as soon as the failure of the deal was announced, speculation was begun in local baseball circles as to Johnson's future. Joe Engle, scout for the Washington club, is at Johnson's home in Reno on a hunt ing trip and it is reported that he has been authorized to offer Johnson a three-year contract with a total compensation of $9O,0OO.
 It also is reported that there is movement on foot in St. Paul to col lect fund by popular subscription with which to purchase the control ling interest in the St. Paul Ameri- can association club and present it to Johnson.
 Another report is that efforts are being. made by Los Angeles inter- ests to have Johnson take control of the Vernon Coast league club.

POLICEMAN DENIES HE
 WAS SHOT AND KILLED

WHEELING, Wa, Dec. 1.-The characteristic remark of the immor- tai Mark Twain that the report of his death was greatly exaggerated was echoed here today by Patrol man Harry Rice.
 A Pittsburg newspaper published an account of Rice's death, but the victim refused to believe it when he read the article.
 Rice recently was shot and wound ed by Dave Corbett, of Washington, D. C., who was sentenced to seven years Imprisonment in the State oen- itentiary for the crime. In publish ing the story, the Pittsburg newspa- per stated Rice has been "killed."
 Rice was swamped today with con- gratulations for his remarkable re- covery by friends who had read of his "demise."

Hip, Hip, Hooray!" Makes
Big Hit AT Onancock, Va.

If it had been necessary to find
parking space for visiting cars either
of the two nights during which clip,
Hip Hooray" has been playing to
crowded houses at Onancock, it might
have been necessary to run some OF
the cars upon the front porches.
The desire to see home talent in
action, the pleasure of aiding the hos
pital project and the reputation OF
the Wheeler Producing Company all
contributed to an influx of visitors to
Onancock.
Comments from all quarters are
more than complimentary to the young
people who are taking part in the Re.
yue and as the individual efforts in
many instances lost nothing by com.
parison with professional talnet, it ID
impossible to single out any Of the cast
for special mention.

Easter, Shoren,an Writes
Account OF Trip To South

James B. Taylor writes very inter-
estingly of his trip to Florida in which
state he is located at Sarasota.
Writing from date Of December II,
he tells Of his arrival at Sarasota, af-
ter a pleasant trip, leaving Richmond
on the 9th of December.
Sarasota, he says, is about 400 miles
south of the Georgia and Florida line,
on the Gulf coast. He states that it
is the fastest growing town in the
South. There is going on at the pres
ent time about $6,00O,000 worth of
construction. The Seaboard Railroad
is erecting the finest station south of
Jacksonville, and dwelling houses by
the thousand are springing up.
Mr.. Taylor does not forget his East
tern Shore home, and thinks the best
way to get the news is by having The
Democrat sent to his Florida location.

CREFELD OYSTERS
FREE FROM GERMS
Given Clean Bill OF Health By Pub
lie Health Authorities OF
Chicago

Relative to the report as to typhoid
germs in Crisfield oysters, the follow
ing, clipped from @The Times" will
be of interest:
sCrisfeld. oysters are absolutely
free of germs and are pure and pala-
table, according to the results of the
investigation recently made by vari-
Gus public health officials. The re-
port that oysters shipped from this
city to Chicago, had caused an cpl
|demic Of typhoid fever there, has been
found to be absolutely untrue, the ori-
gin Of the typhoid having been traced
to oyster beds along the New England
coast.
Following the publication Of an ar
ticle in a Chicago newspaper, which
reported that typhoid in that city had
been traced to infected oysers, DR.. G.
E. Collins, City Health officer of Girls
field, addressed the following letter to
Dr.. Herman Bundeson, Health Com
missioner of Chicago:
II note in a newspaper article of
December IL, 1924, that there are a
few cases Of Typhoid fever in Chica-
go, which are supposed to be trace
able to eating infected oysters.
/ Being Health officer of Crisfeld,
the largest shipping point in the
United States for oysters, wish to
say that the sanitary conditions assoc
ciated with the production, packing
and shipping of oysters here are ex-
cellent. Every safeguard is thrown
around this business. The product of
every packer and shipper is tested in
my laboratory daily. No typhoid bac-
illii have been found, and the colon
count is negative with most all tests,
when positive seldom running above
3. We do not hesitate to say that the
Crisfield oyster is free from infection
and may be eaten in raw state with
perfect safety"
Maryland oysters were given a
clean bill of health by Abel Wolman,
sanitary engineer Of the State Bureau
of Health, who returned on Tuesday
from Chicago. He investigated the
report that a typhoid epidmic in that
city had been attributed to oysters
shipped from this State.
DIR. Woolman reported he made
laboratory tests and checked up oys-
tiers shipped from Maryland and found
them free from disease germs. The
epidemic, he learned, was traced to
oysters from New York and Massa-
chusetts and the trouble originated in
the oyster beds there"

ALL LIVE CHICKENS
BARRED FROM STATE
Board OF Agriculture Acts As Pre-
cautionary Measure Qther
Poultry Exempted.

A chicken disease, which the ex-
perts compare to the hoof and mouth
disease which involved cattle several
tyears ago, has broken out in the mid
die West. This has caused DR.. Albert
F. Wood, executive officer of the
State Board of Agriculture all live
chickens from any part of the coun-
try turkeys, ducks, and geese not
being included in the order. This ac-
ton followed an embargo ordered by
Governor Richie, who gave the ag-
riculture board power to enlarge if
they deemed it necessary.
Maryland chickens do not seem to
be infested with the trouble. Local
dealers say the birds seem to be right
when put into the crate, but curl up
and die on the passage. The Balti-
more authorities report that approxi-
mately 800 sick fowls were taken out
of two carloads arriving in Baltimore
from Tennessee.
The Government has appropriated
100000 for a study of the disease,
which has been termed Chicken In
fluenza." The fact that Maryland
fowls seem to have escaped the infec-
ton has made, outside buyers flock to
this State to buy for re-shipment. The
embargo was placed so that reAship-
ment from other states counld not be
made here. -
At this writing, a local dealer, B.
F. Sturgis, states that the embargo
was laid today wednesday, on Phila-
delphia. These have not apparently
affected the price, nor increased the
demand.
| Presence Of the two carloads OF
Tennessee chickens in Baltimore was
discovered by George J. Belzner, ar
inspector for the Health Department
He notified DR.. Shrader, who went to
the railroad yards with Charles H
Roehner, another Inspector.
| Working for several hours Sunday
and Monday officials had checked ur
about 1900 chickens, of which 1,20(
were healthy and the rest either dead
or sick.
| According to DR.. Shrader, an entire
carload of fowls had been left without
food or water since Friday night
when they left Tennessee. Both car.
loads were left unprotected from Sum
days cold winds, he said. Officials
Of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals have been notified
Of the conditions reported, it was
stated.
Health officials ordered the dead
fowls taken to the city dumps and SUI
pervised the employees Of the house
while the sick chickens were quar-.
rantined.
