Kerbau's Sensitive Nose

we are accustomed to read about, a
writer In the Youths Companion tells
u.s. The contestants are generally
water buffaloes animals that says
Mr.. Carveth Wells in Asia. the Malays
call kerbau.
A kerbau, or carabao, as 1t is often
written In English, makes, continues
Mr.. Wells, white mans life miser-
able because he does not like the
white mans smell, though he doesn't
mind the smell of a Chinese or a
Malay. Ii you think you have no
smell, just go near kerbaul He not
only sees you long way off, but he
instantly begins to sniff the air. Then
he lays his ears back and rushes at
you. remember once being chased
out of rice field by kerbau. The
rice was growing in deep mud, and /
was rushing along up to my knees,
with the great animal foundering be-

In explanation of collisions at sea
1t is said to be scientific fact that
very large liner moving through
shallow water will attract small craft
toward her. This theory was first put
forward when the White Star liner
Olympic colIided with the British
destroyer Hawke, whose captain
stated on oath that his vessel was
sucked toward the big liner and re-
fused to answer her helm at all. He
was laughed at then, but not so long
afterward the Inflated Titanic started
on her maiden voyage. AS she steamed
down Southampton docks the Amer
lean liner New York. an eleven-thou-
sand-ton ship, began to get uneasy
at her berth alongside the quay. Pre-
sently her stout mooring ropes
snapped, one after another. and she
started to move out toward the White
Star ship. The Titanic was immedi-
ately stopped, while tugs got hold of
the New York and towed her back
into safety. During the war there was
another proof of the theory. this time
by the Olympic again. A German sub
marine sided up to her and was get
ting ready to torpedo her, when the
suction drew the U-boat close up I'M
der the liners stern, and the blades Of
her great propeller ripped open the
submarine from stem to stern.

Vision of Cookhouse
Reads Like GuIIiUer

In Paul Bunyan's camp there was q
great cookhouse with kitchen like
another Mammoth cave, and dining
hall wherein, under huge and lofty
beams. the tables were ranged like
the ranks of an army corps drawn up
for parade on plain. Here were
served breakfasts of ham and eggs and
hot cakes, and huge and Incompatible
Sunday dinners and the lpler week
day meals Of which the coffee was
most highly praised. writes James
stephens In the American Mercury.
Paul Bunyan invented machine for
the mixing Of the hot-cake batter, so
perfectly devised that paving contrac-
tors now employ small models of it for
mixing cement. The range on which
battalion of cooks fried the not
cakes was creased by ski champion
from Norway, who skied to and from
with sides of bacon strapped to his
feet.
And that the men In the far end of
the cookhouse might be served before
the hot cakes cooled, the fiunkies
speeded on roller skates. 1t required
a crew of IL teamsters with teams
and scrapers to keep the yard back of
the cookhouse cleared of coffee
grounds and egg shells.

Congressman Gasque to Push
Measure Fixing Severe
Penalties

Congressman Allard H. Gasque
of South Carolina will introduce a
bill at the coming session of Con-
gress clarifying the law with re-
gard to assault on policemen and
other attempts to prevent them
from performing their duty. The
bill provides severe penalties for
such offenses.
The bill which is being drawn up
with the aid of the Policeman's
Association OF the District, OF which
Milton D. Smith is president. is
aimed particularly at the mobs
which have in several instances
surrounded police when they were
making arrests and threatened per-
sonal injury to the officers.
Congressman GasQue has always
taken an interest in the affairs of
the police department of Washing
ton. He expressed surprise, accord
ing to Smith today, that the laws
Of the District did not already fully
cover such offenses and expressed
confidence that the bill can be put
through in the next session.
The bill as suggested by Smith
calls for, q fine OF from 500 to
IS 900, or imprisonment for not less
than six months or more than ten
years for laying hands on an officer
to hinder him from making an ar
rest. y.

Was Threatened by Mob
After Alleged Knitting Of
Storekeeper

Charged with assault with intent
to kill, James Miles, colored, the
twenty-one-year-old colored youth
who narrowly escaped being
lynched on the Camp Humphreys
road last night following his al
legged knife attack on Elwood A..
Leary, twenty-nine-y ear-old store
keeper at Accotink, Va, will today
be claimed by the Fairfax county
authorities. Miles is held by the
Alexandria police, whose prompt
action prevented'an Infatuated mob
from "stringing him up"
Seven Others Being Held.
Seven other members of the Miles
party, all colored, who were on their
way to Culpeper in an automobile,
are also being held by the Alexandria
police for the Fairfax authorities al
though no charges have been lodged
against them. They are: Norman
Terrell, twenty,seven years, 316

stitches in his throat it was said to-
day that the injured man lis improv.

fortunate to be. alive as the knife or
razor used on him barely missed his
jugular vein.
Chased BY Hounds.
The threatened lynching of Miles
followed the young colored mans
capture through the aid Of blood
hounds led by r. s. Glascock, mas
ter OF hounds at Occoquan. Miles
had run a mile and a half before
he gave up, realizing the futility of
evading the dogs. He was. caught
by Constable N. E. Dove and E. H.

ing party.
Leary, the wounded storekeeper,
1t is learned was visited by Miles
and the party of seven colored men
and women at about o'clock last
night. Members of the party were
in and out of the store several
times. Miles, 1t is contended, pur.
chased a sandwich, and while Leary
was preparing it slipped a pair Of
gloves in his pocket.
Row Over Gloves.
Edward Hazard, who was IN the
store, says that he told Leary that
Miles had taken the gloves. A / ar.
gument ensued. Miles is said to
have left the store but in j mo-
ment returned with another negro.
Leary grabbed a meat cleaver and
ordered them out. The 'ntruders
ran from the store with Leary be-
hind them. 1t was just outside Of
the. store that Leary's throat was
slashed.
Leary has been married only a
month. His wife was preparing his
Thanksgiving dinner when he was
attacked.

A mysterious fire, originating
on the third floor of the second
hand furniture store Of A. Kir@
stein, 408 Tenth street northwest,
today threatened the destruction
of the entire block. Thousands
watched the blaze.
Speedy work of the fire depart
ment, more than a score of en-
gines responding to three alarms,
saved Kirstein's store and pre-
vented the spread of the blaze,
which gained considerable head
way. l
Stores Damaged By Fire.
Adjoining stores both on Tenth
and D streets were damaged by
water. These places were the cigar
shop Of M. Heilman, 1901 d street;
Ideal Lunch, 10O115 d street. and
the Franklin Clothes Shop, 1908 p
street.
Losses will probably reach several
thousands of dollars.
The fire was discovered by A.
KapIan, clerk in the furniture
store. He was standing outside
and saw flames shooting out Of
windows on the third floor. He
turned in an alarm.
Almost at the. same time John
Crothers, clerk in the clothes shop
on d street, saw smoke. He rushed
to the second floor and told Sol
Goldberg, manager.
Three Alarms Sounded.
The first alarm was turned in At
9:56. Two minutes later, a second
alarm was sounded followed by q
third two minutes later.
The fire Quilted the third floor Of
the second hand shop, burning up
several hundred pieces of furniture.
Thousands of gallons of water

IN
HISTORY
LIKELY
Congress Inclined to Free
Hand Of Commissioners,
Says Cong. Davis

The most liberal District appro-
priation bill in the history Of the
National Capital probably will be
passed by Congress during the
coming session, which will begin
Monday, it was indicated today at
the Capitol.
Members of the House District
appropriations subcommittee are
confident that the plan of lump
sum appropriation by the Federal
Government toward the expenses
Of the District, which was insti-
tuted during the last session Of
Congress, will be retained.
May Pass 80 Millions.
On the basis of this plan, under
which the District must meet from
Its own income all expenses above
the sum fixed by Congress as the
Federal Governments share, Con-
gress will not be disposed to make
any very material cuts In the items
submitted by the District Commits.
eiOners, it was stated.
1t was considered probable that
the next District appropriation BILL
exclusive of items carried in def
cheney and supplemental bills, will
be in excess of $40, ZOO. 900.
Il feel that the function of The
District appropriations subcommit.
tee this year, on the basis of a lump
sum appropriation, will. not oe TO
pruhe the items with a view to spare
the Federal Treasury so much asst
will be to ascertain the wishes of the
people of the District concerning the
increased appropriations they, as
taxpayers, must meet declared
Congressman Charles r. Davis of
Minnesota, chairman of the House
District appropriation subcommittee.
Free Hand Proposed.
Members Of the subcommittee,
he said, have a feeling that they
should grant to these people of the
District the fullest opportunity. to
voice their opinions regarding the
size of appropriations, They feel
that the District Commissioners will
have to justify the items they
submit in the eyes of the people
of the District rather than In the
eyes of Congress.
The lump sum plan, however, will
not be continued without a bitter
fight. The District Commissioners
have repeatedly voiced their opposi
ton to this plan and have an
nounced their intention to request
I that Congress return to the time.
honored plan of a proportionate
sharing of the District expenses.
Many members of Congress, It
was shown during the last session,
are in favor of the "60-40" plan
under which the Federal Govern
ment pays forty per cent of the
cost of the District, regardless OF
the total.
Stiff Fight Expected.
The controversy over the lump
sum plan is expected to be one
of the sharpest to arise during
the consideration OF any of the major
appropriation bills during the com.
ing session.
Congressman Davis said that the
appropriations subcommittee prob.
ably will commence hearings on
the District appropriation bill
shortly after the Christmas holidays.
