Turns Buddhist and Bars
Meat Eaters as Tenants

New York.-The secret Of the "Her-
init Of Stanton Street." which for six
years has been locked in the four
story building at No. 80 on that thor
oughfare, has just been revealed.
Sam Doonieffsky, forty-two, who
dwells alone there, explained that for
six years, although tenants have
clamored for rooms in the building,
he has refused them all because they
are "meat eaters"
When Doonieffsky purchased the
building he ordered every one out.
He admitted that he had forsaken the
orthodox Jewish religion to become a
Buddhist, and that one of the tenets
upon which his life is now based is
that it is wrong to kill. The building,
situated in the heart Of the East side,
had long provided a mystery.
Doonieffsky. who sells linen, has
lived hermit's existence ON the top
floor, subsisting entirely on cabbages
and potatoes, and porting over great
tones on science and religion. His
only companion is pet mouse. He
will not keep cat because, he said,
he fears 1t would kill the mouse.

VAST TERRITORY
is BISHOPS HOME
Aided Tenderfoots in Alaskan
Gold Rush.

Seattle, Wash.-A vast territory to-
wards the top of the world is "home"
and workshop" to Peter Trimble
Rowe, who for thirty-one years has
extended helping hand to residents
Of the frozen North as missionary
bishop Of Alaska.
Today, at seventy years Of age, the
Episcopalian bishop looks forward to
several rlore winters, extending the
outposts of civilization farther to the
north, ministering to his flock. Then
he says he will give way to younger
man inbued with ardor for difficult
mission. Bishop Rowe makes his
headquarters here.
Friend of explorer, Indian and Es-
kimo, Bishop Rowe's life is closely in
terwoven with the most interesting
chapters in the history Of Alaska. He
was on the march with the "boys" in
the gold rushes of the Yukon and
Dawson and admits frankly his hope
that there will be one more good find
Of gold.
He recalls how some gazed in
amazement as they rushed along the
trail to Dawson. He taught many
tenderfoots, many Of them lured from
the city, how to fashion their own
boats.
Aptitude for carpentry has served
the bishop many times in his varied
experiences. Various missions that
dot the horizon Of the north country
bear testimony to his handiwork. Sew
eral were fashioned by his hands. 1t
was In one Of these missions that
Stefansson, the explorer, was nursed
back to life after being gripped by
pneumonia and typhoid fever.
Bishop Rowe is proud of his record
In never losing a dog in the thousands
Of miles he has Travelled over the
broad expanse of the Alaskan terri
tory, much of it unknown to white
men. For years he has piloted his
own sledge in getting from mission
to mission and ministering what he
calls practical Christianity"

CREEK INDIANS
CLAIM MILLIONS
Say Government Owes Them
$29, O84, 500 for Land.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of interest
to students of Alabama history is de-
veloping from the suit filed by the
Creek nation against the government
for money claimed due in payment for
lands coded to the United States IN
1914, said lands comprising 100000
acres, embracing almost all the pres
ent states of Georgia and Alabama and
large portion Of the state Of Missis-
sippi."
This is the wording Of the claim, but
in 1914 the Creeks had Jurisdiction
not farther west than the rich country
west of the COosa, though ancestrally
they had extended to Natchez land on
the Mississippi. The land claim, there
fore, appears to be considerably too
large. The money value is figured at
$1.25 an acre, or total of $29, 1854, 500.
The land was undeveloped. much of it
was hill and mountain land. The valu-
alton Is declared excessive.
The Greek war was fought not for
the land the Creeks owned, but in
order to punish those leaders and
members of the nation who were aid
ing Great Britain in Great Britain's
war with the United States. General
Jackson's military operations were for
the purpose Of destroying the Creek
nations alliance with Great Britain
against the American settlers of the
coast region. At the end, when the
Creek nation was crushed and the
warning Creeks surrendered, a treaty
Of peace was entered into and Jack
son was free to proceed against PEN
sacola, unhindered by the red man.
This suit was authorized by an act
Of congress in 1924. the Court Of
Claims being designated to give 1t a
hearing.

Member of l Family in SO
on Average Hit by Auto

New York.-Some member of your
family has one chance in three in be-
ing killed or injured by an automobile
this year. That is the risk indicated
by figures on last years motor acct
dents, gathered by the National Safety
council and just made public through
the National Bureau Of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters.
Persons killed by automobiles In the
United States in 1925 numbered o.
500 At an estimate of 80 injured for
each fatality, the number hurt was
675000, making the total casualties
$97, 800. The one-in-thirty-six ratio Is
given on the basis of 25,OOOO00 fam
lilies in the United States.
Those killed in 1925 numbered 900
more than in 1924. The automobile
death rate increased to 17.2 per 100,-
600 in 1925. It was 1871 in 1924 and

Akin to "Missing Link

London.-A dispatch to the Daily
Express from johannesburg, South
Africa, tells of an unnamed traveller
who reports having encountered in the
northern Katanga district of the Bel
gian Congo, a curious tribe of natives
whose physical characteristics suggest
"the missing link"
The traveller described one individ-
ual as half man and half ape. He was
six feet tall and had an exceptionally
long arm, projecting jaw and re-
ceding forehead. He had the normal
negroid nose, woolly hair, startling
black eyes, straggly beard and was
of exceptionally powerful physique.

Evidence of Spanish
Battle Is Unearthed

Los Angeles, Calif.-Spanish con-
quistadors, under the leadership of the
famous Cortez, fought desperate bat
tie ON the famous golf course of the
Los Angeles Athletic club at the
Riviera. near Santa Monica. some
time in the Sixteenth century. This
fact was brought to light few days
ago when Doctor Morton. tree surgeon,

to be at least 300 years old, says

So, 100000 IN 1925
SPENT ON GERM WAR
Rockefeller Foundation in
World Campaign.

New York.-More than 100000
was spent during 1925 by the Rookie
Teller Foundation in its campaign
throughout the world against disease.
Hookworm, yellow fever and malaria
are the enemies of mankind its inter-
national health board especially aims
to annihilate. This organization fol-
lows the policy of working only
through governments of the countries
only at the invitation of an official
agency. 1t concerns itself only with
new methods, one Of its primary ends
being to help health official prove to
his community the value of an inno-
walton, but the board undertakes CO.
operation only with the clear under
standing that the project in hand Is
eventually to stand on its own finan-
cial feet.
Worldwide War on Hookworm.
In IS different countries and in 220
counties in 20 different states in our
country the international health board
backed up the local officials in their
struggles with the hookworm prob
lem, with the result that nearly 1,500,-
600 persons were treated.
Around hookworm disease as
nucleus the board has a general edu-
cational plan to instruct the populace
of tropical and subtropical countries
in sanitation and preventive measures
against all disease This idea has
spread to Europe, and cooperation
along these lines has been extended
to France, Austria. Poland and Czecho-
slovakia.
In 1925 only three cases Of yellow
fever occurred in all the Americas,
whereas formerly this disease made
Central and South America. and even
New Orleans and other cities of the
Southern states, veritable pest holes.
Now these same cities are represented
to Northern tourists as health resorts
with fair degree of truth.
War on the mosquito that carries
yellow fever has driven this former
plague to last stand in western At
RIGA, where experts sent out by the
international health board. at the in
vitatlon of the countries concerned,
are hard at work holding it in check
lest 1t gain access to other regions of
the continent when the trans-African
railways under construction are COM
pleted.
Fight Malaria With Paris Green.
A new use for paris green has been
found in the contest with the malarial
mosquito. Experience has shown that
only by exterminating the insect that
spreads the infection from person to
person can malaria be stamped out,
since, in the majority of cases, pa
tients will. not continue doses of quiz
nine long enough to be completely
cured Paris green has proved effec-
tive, cheap and safe as a means of
eradicating the fever mosquitoes.
In cooperation with the Italian gov
eminent the board has been expert
menting with the arsenic compound
in Calabria and Sardinia, sprinkling
the breeding areas with powder COM
posed of 80 parts road dust and one
part paris green. The small quantity
Of poison killed the wigglers without
harming the fish native to the waters,
and mosquito breeding was stopped at
very low cost.
Work on malaria was carried on in
twelve states in the United States, and
in the West Indies, Brazil, Argentina,
Palestine, the Philippine islands and
Ceylon.
