ROBBER IS CAUGHT

NEW YORK, November 13.-Ru.
dolph Beck, innocent bystander,'
employed foot ball tactics during a
robbery today and 'got his man. y
with flying tackle that thrilled a
Times Square crowd.
Beck's man was one of three who
attempted a daring daylight hold-ur
Of Henry Silberfeld's jewelry store on
Broadway and Thirty-ninth street.
That same robber shot a policeman
and a jeWelry salesman before a sec

flesh of Beck's knee. jammed deep in

Bandits Condition Critical.
OF the wounded, only the bandit,
identified by police as Benjamin Gro
gan, was in serious condition. David
jacob, the salesman, had a bullet
wound in his left shoulder and Pa
trolman John Lanigan had a bullet
wound in his right side.
1t all began when Grogan and two
accomplices appeared at the jewelry
store. Two stood outside, Grogan

helping the store manager dress the
show window.

whipped out his revolver and forced
jacob and Hoffman into the back

The porter returned and the robber,
holding his revolver leveled at Jacob,
ordered him to open the door. jacob
slipped out the door as the porter en-

AS Grogan sped after jacob, he
saw Patrolman Lanigan drawing his
revolver. Grogan fired and Lanigan
fell. Grogan then continued his pur-
suit of the fleeing Jacpbi. Grogan
sped along Broadway. Beck made
his flying tackle and brought him to
the sidewalk. A tussle followed, with
Grogan trying to get in a position to

St. Bernard Not What He Was.

The dogs to be found today in the
great and little st. Bernard Passes in
Switzerland are of a smaller and less
striking type than formerly. They are
a cross between the Newfoundland and
the sheep dog of the Pyrenees. They
have been credited, moreover, with
rather more than they can perform,
says Charles Lincoln Preston in the
Motor Travel Magazine.
A Swiss professor of Geneva, given
to making adventurous cross-country
journeys on skis, relates that on one
occasion, when he was within sight Of
the great st. Bernard Hospice, the
dogs came rushing out, but were un-
able to reach him through the soft
snow, in which they fioundered hope
leSsly. He is of the opinion that the
uses of the famous dogs are more linn
tied than is popularity supposed. One
can conceive them as being highly
serviceable in tracking a weary way
farer overcome by a sudden blizzard
on the road itself, but even St. Ber-
nard dogs cannot walk over snow that
is both deep and soft.

FLIES 400 YARDS A SECOND.
South American Fly Is Swiftest of
All Created Things.

From the Youths Companion Magazine.
A South American entomoloSist, DR.
&. II. T. Townsend, recently made
some interesting statements to the
Pan-Amer-ican Scientific Congress con-
cerning the speed in flight of a fly
belonging to the genus Cephenemyia.
This fly. which in the adult stage
looks a good deal like a bumhtebee, is
in its laIval stage a parasite in the
noses or throatS of certain species OF
deer. DR.. Townsend says the fly Is
the swiftest of all created things. and
he estimates that it can fly 400 yards
in a second, or more than 500 miles
an hour.
"You see no form as they pass. but
only a momentary blur or streak of
color" Prof. Townsend suggests
that, II airplanes could be made to fly
at this pace, one could circumvolate
the earth at the latitude of New York
between dawn and dusk of single
Midsummer day. He adds: 1T Is GER
tain that what has been attained by
animals in the way of locomotion can
be equaled by machines. The whole
matter is a problem in mechanics
And he advises a careful study OF the
mechanical principles involved in the
structure of the Cephenemyia-

First Rifle in America.

The use of the rifle in America has
been general since the War OF 1854
63, known to us as the French and
Indian War, in which Braddock was
defeated.
From what can learn, the f1intlock
rifle, as we generally understand the
weapon, dates from about the begin
ming of the eighteenth century; my
reasons for believing this are the
statements that Capt. Dillon, of whom
more anon, has a good specimen with
a date of 1719, If l recall correctly,
stamped in the metal Of the barrel.

Whale Flesh as Food:

Some interesting facts about the
whaling industry in the Island OF
Harris and the curing of whale hesh
for human consumption are given In
the annual report, just issued, of the
chief sanitary inspector of Inverness
shire, says the Christion Herald,
England. Since the death of Lord
Leverhulme, who owned Harris, the
whaling industry has been carried on
successfully by a separate company.
During the last year great develop
ments have been made in curing whale
fesh, for marketing purposes as food,
at the curing station of Leverburgh.
There the meat is cut into small
pieces, washed, placed in salt pickle,
thoroughly dried on frames by
mechanical power, and then packed
under pressure in small bags. Over
400 kegs were exported to the Congo
and other parts of Africa for the use
of natives employed by Leverhulme

REED RAPS DRAFT
!. OF WEALTH IN WAR
Presidents Conscrip ton
Prophecy in Kansas City Is
AssaiIed by Senator.
By the Associated Press.

Dg tItS AsSUtldteO FTeSS.
ST. LOUIS, November 13.-Tha
recommendation of President Coolidge
at Kansas City Thursday for "all-
inclusive" conscription in time of war
was characterized in a formal state
ment tonight by Senator James A.
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, as ''the
most astonishing statement which
ever fell from the lips of an American
President
The Senator asserted "such a pro-
posal would spell national paralysis
and national defeat"
"Mr. Coolidge declared that in
future wars there should be a gen.
eral consumption of all people and all
property, that the conscription
should be all inclusive Senator
Reed said. THE phrase he employed
was the 'conscription of capital but
capital embraces every form of
property.
Phrase Laid to Paciffsts.
II heard this phrase the 'conscrip-
ton of capital first employed by that
class of pacifists who insisted that
the World War was deliberately
brought on by capitalists who desired
to enrich themselves out of the strug-
gle, and that if capital should be con-

longer promote wars:
"Of course, the idea that the recent
war was the result of a conspiracy of
capitalists is an absurdity which rea-
sonable men do not for moment
entertain, but I never expected to
hear the President Of the United
States publicly declare an acceptance
of this monstrous fallacy and yet
more monStrous doctrine Of general
conScriptlon."
The one result of such a move,
Senator Reed said, would be the
abrogation OF the right to life, liberty
and property guaranteed by the
Constitution.
Sees Money Hoarded.
"At the mere approach Of war
every dollar would go into hiding;
business would be paralyzed; the
wheels of industry would cease to
move; the entire machinery of trade
and commerce would stop.
mo man would dare trade, barter,
buy or sell; none would venture to
make an investment. universal
chaos would Immediately result. Ac-
cordingly, at the very time when the
Government would most need to
stimulate the activities of the people
and to promote the highest com
mercial activities, everything would
suddenly come to a standStlll. Inc
result would be worse than the loss
of a hundred battles"
Under such a law, Reed said, a
military autocracy would be erected
ION the ruins of our civilization. the
press would be throttled, the right or
peaceabe assemblage denied, women
would be subject to command by
military autocrats and the President
could exercise powers greater than
ever dreamed by a Roman dictator or
an Oriental despot.
1.-The astounding thing is that a
President should so far forget the
principles underlying our civilization
and our form of Government.
"A draft of any kind, particularly
for foreign wars, is obnoxious to the
spirit of our civilization. But that Is
a very different thing from the pro-
posal to conscript the women as well
as the men, the old as well as the
young, property as well as soldiers"

Fire Chief Watson said that it
