COOLIDGE IS AGAINST
NEW GRAINS MEASURE

Opposition to the proposed bill
to regulate and charge for grazing
on the public domain was voiced ia
President Coolidge yesterday by Con
gresham Winter OF Wyoming.
Federal regulation will prevent
entry and settlement of the re-
naming great areas in the eleven
public land States, Winter said. He
declared fees should be decreased
rather than raised because the
cattle business is bankrupt"
Winter also urged that the relief

GREAT IRE
'LUC|FER'
Canadian Hunter Says De-
scription Resembles Beast
of North

HADDoNFIELD, N. T., Aug. "a.
Ellisburg's What Is 1t" the
mysterious animal alleged to have
ravaged farms in Delaware town
ship in the vicinity of Ellisburg
and which was killed in a midnight
chase by police and posse on the
streets of Haddonfield, continues to
puzzle police and citizens Of the
community.
Since the animal was brought
down by shot fired by Policeman
Earl Hinchman. OF HaddonfieId,
hundreds OF persons have visited
the Haddonfield police headquarters
seeking TO view the remains and
give their diagnosis of the animal.
Some of the, visitors have come
great distances to see the creature.
Chief of Police George Baxter has
informed all inquirers that the
animal was given a decent burial
by Sergeant William Start and
Policeman Hinchman. it's captors,
and cannot be disinterred.
One OF Chief Bakers callers was
a Canadian big-game hunter, who
said he was positive from what he
had read that the animal is a "luci-
fer" a Canadian term for a beast
half tiger and half wild cat, which
lives on live stock and for the cap
ture or killing OF which Canadian
farmers pay a bounty of $25 head.
'Lucifer" is defined in the diction-
airy at Satan, <o or Prince of Dark
ness which Canadians say aptIy
fits the animal which kills their
stock He said it was possible one
of the Canadian lucifers had wan
dered south and caused the havoc
anlcng dogs, turkeys, ducks and
chickens on farms near Ellisburg.
Mrs. William j. Sickel, of Med
ford, another visitor, the police be-.
Iieve came nearest to solving the
identity OF the animal. She said
she had missed q mongreI-bred, half
police and half shepherd dog, some
tine ago, which she believed had
been. frightened and driven into the
woods during an electrical storm,
and she believes had entered a
wild state from its outdoor life and
became the Ellisburg killer. Med
ford is five miles from Ellisburg on
the Marlton pike, and police believe
the Sickel dog, becoming hungry,
lad grown vicious and attacked
farm stock in search of food.
There are some who believe the
real killer has not yet been killed
and will yet show itself in a new
raid on farm stock. Farmers are
keeping watch for any new signs
Of the presence of the animal.

Judge Mcchord Raps Approval
of Mechanism in !, c. g.
Order to Roads

In carrying out the mandate OF
Congress that the railroads install
automatic train stop or train-control
devices, the Interstate Commerce
Commission is meeting with consid.
cradle difficulty, it became known
today. ~
!. Orders have gone forth to Iorty-
nine big railroad systems to install
such devices on portions of their
respective roads, but apparently
none of the devices so far have
met with all the requirements. The
Commission has approved the auto
matte train-control device OF the
Union Switch and Signal Company
on a division of the Oregon Wash:
ington railroad, with notifications,
and this has brought forth a sharp
criticism of Judge c.. G. McChord,
a member of the Commission.
THE responsibility incurred l'y
the Commission in giving this for
mai approval is not a light one. I
said McChord. pointing out that Tin
a matter of this kind we should
have evidence that the device

From reports it appears that
the mechanism is complicated and
extremely sensitive" said Nc
Chord. Many important elements
in it require a precise and accu
rate adjustment to be maintained
in order that the device as a. whols
may function properly and con-
tinuously. Numerous failures and
undesirable operations have oc.
CURED, resulting in stops to trains
and delays in the operations OF the

McChord pointed out that severe

instances have so affected the APP

and that serious difficulty has
arisen also from the effects of
