FAMOUS FIRSTS

- day of triumph for George
~ Stephenson. An engine he
had constructed drew a train
from Stockton to Darlington,
England.
Many people had gathered to
watch the experiment they were
certain would fail. A horseman
rode in front of the engine-he
was sure his horse would outrun
the engine.
But the people who had come
to laugh and the horseman who
had come to scorn were wrong.
Stephenson's engine pulled the
ninety tons Of the train to Oar
lington and ran as high az fifteen
miles an hour.
George Stephenson was born in
little village near Newcastle
on-Tyne on June 8, 1881. Due to
the poverty Of his family George
received little or no education. But

Hartford, April i1.--Superintenden Of fisheries and game John W. Tit comb, communicated 10 state. county and municipal police yesterday a re- quest not to dump confscated liquor into the streams Of the state for fear that it will kill fish.
 Human beings may be able to stomach some of the whiskey and gin that is now being dispensed by bootleggers, Superintendent Titcomb said. but the stun is too much for fish. He pointed out that hundreds of dead fish were found Monday float ing in the East river off the docks Of the army base. south Brooklyn, where 10000 bottle of various liquors were poured into the river by United States customs employees.
 The destruction of the contraband, which included whiskey, gin and fine cordials, was a three days lob for go men, but dead fish began to appear on the river surface within a few hours after the pouring of the liquor began.

 post upon his appointment as civil lord Of the admiralty in the labor governments
 Cook, who is an aNowed extremist and devoted 10 the MarNian theories, when interviewed upon his appoint
 ment, said he interpreted the miners choice as a desire for a militant, ng- grcssire policy.
 "l am in favor Of real live na- tiona and international miners or- ganization," he said, and am convinc- ed that the miners cannot retain even their present bad conditions without if. l am still rcd with all that means. and will not rest satisfied until private enterprise in tho mining industry is abolished"
 The result Of tho miners ballot on the owners offer. or minimum wage standard g 1-2 per cent above the pre-war mark as opposed to the mons demand for 40 per rent above, is eX- pccted to be Known today.

 From these returns 1t is augnred that n strike will probably be aYcrtcd, and hope is strengthened by the fact that the federation's executive has to meet the owners nsAt week and talk things over.
