Professors Kill Snakes: House
Dispatches Two in One Evening

L. M. Brooks of the University
faculty, who lives out at the low
er end of Ransom street, oppo-
site the Odum estate, killed a
copperhead on his lawn Friday
evening.
Robert B. House, secretary Of
the University, while a supper
guest at the home of NJ. C. S.
Noble ON Hills5oro street Sun
day evening, killed one highland
moccasin on the front door step,
and fifteen minutes later killed.
another, probably the mate of
the first, on exactly the same
spot.
Charles M. Baker, assistant
librarian, killed moccasin on
his doorstep a few days ago.
Roy M. Brown has killed two
copperheadS, near his home
southwest of the village, this.
fall.
All these snakes were>probably
of the same breed. The names
copperhead and highland moe
casin seem to be used inter-
changeably hereabouts.
Mr.. Brooks, returning home
at dusk and crossing the lawn to
the door of his home, came upon
the reptile about ten feet from
the steps. He veered to the left,
went to his garage, and brought
back a rake and a bottle con-
tanning some of the denatured
alcohol left from the supply he
got to keep his radiator from
freezing last winter.
Meanwhile his wife and his
neighbor, F. P. Brooks, had
arrived on the scene. While
one of the Messrs. Brooks held
the unlimited stranger down
with the end of the rake, the
other teased it a bit, until it
began to bite furiously at the
air, and then placed a stick be-
tween it's jaws. A stream of
the alcohol was poured down the
throat, and presently the snake
was helpless.
At this juncture Mr.. Tripp,
the dairyman, arrived with his
milk truck. He brought an emp
ty bottle, and the copperhead,
still with a faint spark of life left
in it, was pushed skillfully into
the glass prison and shut in with
the familiar pasteboard label
marked Grade A. (Be it known
that later Mr.. Tripp insisted on
smashing the bottle; so none of
his customers need fear that the
family milk has occupied the
quarters recently tenanted by a
serpent).

CODE Of CONFUCUS lS
INVOKED IN LIBEL SUIT
csntUFles-old Preospts Are Applies IN
Dispute Between Chinese
ak Vancouver.

Vancouver, 3. C-The spirit Of Con-
fucius still holds sway over the Chi
nese and the yellow men Of the Orient
still follow the teachings OF the noted
scholar, although they were expounded
centuries ago.
The century-Old code Of Confuctus
was introduced into the stiff formal
ity Of q court Of Law here by counsel
for Mar Poy, charged with defama-
tory libel against Nip Sue Gin. Frank
Higgins, Poy's lawyer, said Nip Sue
Gin had bound herself to Mar POy
as his sister under the law Of Con
fucius, and so as his sister could not
be llbeled.
Higgins explained the relationships
under the Confucian law. There Is
the blood tie between children; the
relationship where man and woman
voluntarily agree to be brother and
sister, with the man in the role of
guide, or mentor, and the Relationship
brought about through adoption. The
evidence in this case,' Higgins said
would turn on the voluntary relation
ship by s~elf-declared brothers and sis
tiers.
Nip Sue Gin told the court th'
terms Of the agreement had been die
tated by Mar Poy and written down
by her in the painted characters O.
the Chinese language on a silk hand
kerchief.
These declared that Nip Sue Gin
withdrew herself from parental con
troll and bound herself to MAJ Pc!
in the relationship Of a sister. Ma
POy, she declared, was intended b.
means OF the document to have ful
control over her movements and coul
take what measures he saw nt t
discipline her,

Whale, Stranded, Dies
on New England Coast

Boston. - A 48-foot whale, the
first to come ashore along the New
Hampshire coast in more than 20
years, was marooned high and dry re-
Gently on the rocks Of the northern
point Of Great Bears Head. When
be was first seen he was alive, but.
presumably suffering from a cOmpll-
cation Of chagrin and exposure, he
died.
Just plain hard luck, apparently, be-
set this monstrous mammal. In the
first place, he must have lost his bear
lngs, for he was straying far from the
usual haunts OF his kind. A whale
who can't Rnd his way around In the
ocean might just as well quit before
any other trouble begins.
This fellow probably was floating,
maybe sound asleep. out somewhere
on the brlny.
The first thing this whale knew he
was II the breakers. Being heavy, for
his estimated weight Is somewhere be-
tween rs and 20 tons, he couldn't get
out 20 sea again.
Out went the tide in the usual man
ner. bat our whale was stranded high
up on the harsh rocks. He thrashed
his ponderous tail about and gtrOve
nightly to regain his accumst0med
element. but ali In vain.

LOSE FIGHT FOR
VETS INSURANCE
One Wife Is Declared Di-
vorced and Other Not
Legally Wed.

Chlcago.-TwO wives-One divorced
and the other never legally wed
a may-haired father and an "EnOch
Arden" who never returned were
the central figures In q drama that
grew out Of the World war and
came TO an end in the courtroom
Of Federal Judge James II. VIII
kersOn when Q Jury decided that the
aged father was entitled to the $1O,-
600 life insurance Of Maj. Mark W.
Hanna, Jr., who died as he charged a
machine gun nest in France an hour
or two before the armistice ended hos
tilitfes.
The finding of the jury not only
designated the father, Thomas NJ.
Hanna Of Iowa, as the rightful heir,
but 1t brought two other matters to q
decision by declaring that Mrs. Hal
lie Schroeder OF San Antonio. Tex,
the divorced wife. vas the legal mate
OF Hanna at the time OF his death, and
that Mrs. COrinne Hanna Of Kansas
City, who married him just before he
went to France and drew his lnSur-
ance until the government stopped It.
was never legally married to him, be-
cause the previous marriage vas still
in force.
Involved Veterans Rights.
The drama Is one Of the strangest
that has come out Of the war and
the first Of it's kind that has gone to
the Federal court for decision. The
finding in It was awaited with p~articu-
lar interest, not only because 1t would
set a precedent, but because It in
vOlved the rights Of the veterans bu
reau to pass upon the morals and per
sonal liberties Of benehciaries under
a war risk insurance policy.
The reason the government origin
ally stopped the insurance payments
to Mrs. Corinne Hanna, after payinS
her hearty $1,000, was that she wal
friendly with Joe Wagner, a Kansas
City gang leader now serving Is year
In the Iowa penitentiary for bank rob
berry, and was therefore not entities
to government money. On this pOin
the jury found her not guilty. .
Divorced and Married Again.
