Wood Pussy, Little But Unusually Strong,
Puts Seventh Precinct Police to FLIGHT

A wood pussy, little but strong,
spread CONSERVATION at No. precinct
this morning, cowing bold policemen.
Incased In fish jar and the tell
tale odor of the skunk, the visitor was
dumped unceremoniously in front Of
the desk sergeant by its captor, Robert
P. Burgess, 1910 N street, who re-
marked that he was used to skunks,
and then mounted his fiivver and rode
away.
Policemen ran for shelter as the
black and white liveried animal
blinked through its glass cage and a
moment later was alone in the station
house.
When the glass failed to break, two

masks ready. and bore their guest to
a shed In the rear Of the station. A
telephone call was hastily put in to
the City Pound. the man at the phone,
a diplomat born. neglecting to state
the nature of the animal awaiting
the poundmaster.
Reserves rushed to the shed and
placed the jar with it's potent prisoner
in a big hamper. It was not until they
weighted the hamper with boards and
bricks that their grim expressions re-
Iaxed.
Burgess, original conqueror OF the
skunk. approached his prey this morn.

RAIL BRIDGE DAMAGED.
Three Quarts of NitrOglycerin Found
on PENNSYLVANIA Line.

PITTSBURGH, August 10 R.-An
attempt to blow up a bridge on the
Pennsylvania Railroad was made
early today, railroad officials reporting
that a can containing three quarts of
nitroglycerin had been found under
a span at Mayview, a local suburb.
The discovery was made after a small
explosion had damaged a freight car
passing over the bridge.
The explosion, which damaged the
bridge to some extent, broke windows
in the Mayview power house nearby.
Railroad police who conducted an
investigation found the can Of explo-
sive under the approach of the bridge
opposite that under which the blast
occurred. There was no indication,
they said, that wires or fuse had
been set to explode 1t.
The character of the explosive which
let go on the other end Of the bridge
was not determined, the railroad re-
port said, but 1t was presumed that 1t
also was nitroglycerin, which ex-
ploded. when the train passed.
Railroad officials could advance no
reason why anyone should want to de-
stroy the bridge. An investigation was
started.
The bridge is located on tn ePan-
handle division, which leads into the
coal mining district Of southwestern
Pennsylvania.
Following the explosion. traffic was
not suspended. but trains were ordered
to proceed with caution.

SACCO NEWS ST|RS
CAPITAL VIGILANCE
Other Cities Also Prepare for
Trouble as Plea Is
Turned Down.

Government and city police about
public buildings here today increased
their vigilance when news was re-
ceived that the Massachusetts State
courts had again declined to intervene
for Sacco and VanZetti. About the
Capitol and Government department
buildings the guards were especially
on the alert.
1t was learned today that during the
"reprieve period" the precautions
taken by the authorities against rad
ical outrages or demonstrations had
not been lessened one degree, even
though the radical sympathizers had
been quieted by the stay of execution
granted more than week ago.
However, as the time for the execu-
ton of the convicted murderers drew
nearer and only one avenue of escape
appeared open--the United States Su-
preme Court-the numerous police Of
fcers had reason to be particularly
alert.
Several entrances to the Capitol
building and Post Office Department
which were closed following the bomb
ings in New York. Philadelphia and
Baltimore have remained closed since
that time, and "all the precautionary
measures" that the police authorities
"can think of" have remained in ef-
feet.
The three police agencies. charged
with the protection of Federal and
civil Washington, therefore, were pre-
pared today to question the motives
of every person who appeared 'sus-
picious."
Details of the precautionary mea-
sures" taken by the three agencies
were not announced.
SympathiZers of the men plan to
hold a meeting at the Playhouse, 1914

Women on Juries
Must DOff Hats
At Court Sessions

Woman Jurors must dof their
bonnets while sitting in the jury
box. Chief Justice Mccoy Of the
District Supreme Court today
stated that this will be the policy
when he presides in Criminal Di-
vision / next October. A new jury
sitting for the first time today at
the lunacy hearings had two
women on It. One wore big red
hat and the other tight-fitting
white hat.
While the court took no action
today toward putting his new pol
icy into practice he let it be known
that when the regular sessions or
the court begin he will request the
woman jurors to enter the box hat
less as the men are required to do.
The court gave no reason for the
suggestion other than uniformity.

fecting Drivers.

the District Commissioners today or
dered the establishment Of Is new pub

ford temporary relief in the present

tions which prevent them from loiter-
ing or standing at other unauthorized
places.

that this action was taken today in the
hope Of improving existing conditions
without delay and that the whole prob
lem Of hack stands, including the ques-
ton of whether some of them should
be near hotels, would be given further
consideration when all three members

Irish Protesting
Removal of Oggham
Stones to Britain

BY the Associated Press.
VALENTIA, Irish Free State
Kerrymen are up in arms because
the most ancient of their monu-
ments, the Ogham Stones, are
being removed one by one to
British museums. They likewise
protest because the few remain
ing historic stones are being used
in ireland as gate posts and hearth
stones.
Ogham was a manner of writing
on stone and wood used by the
ancient Irish. 1t is somewhat like
some of the modern shorthand
characters, consisting of straight
or slanting lines to represent the
consonants, and short straight
lines to represent the Vowels. One
hundred and fifty kinds of Ogham
writing have been used.
The Ogham stones are usually
tombstones giving the name of
the chieftain or clergyman buried
beneath. Because. Of frequent
clan conflicts the names of clans
often are defaced. Some Ogham
stones are not inscribed, and were
merely landmarks to show the
boundaries Of clan lands, or to
record battles, such as the Gates
Of Glory Pillars, near Ventry.

DOLE FLYER BEAT
DEATH FIVE TIMES
Aloha Pilots Story Tells How
Ship Narrowly Escaped
Doom in Ocean.
BY MARTIN JENSEN.

winner OF second prize IN the Dole air race
By Wireless to The Star and New York Times
HONOLULU, August 19.-Right at
the start want to say that II we had
had a radio set aboard the Aloha, We
would have arrived first without any
trouble.
This was demonstrated when we
lost three hours Wednesday morning
circling about waiting for high noon
in order for Capt. Paul Schluter, my
navigator, to shoot the sun and get his
position, before we could proceed. And
when he got it, we gave her the gun,
and approximately two hours later hit
the Island Of Oahu right on the nose.
and 10 minutes later had landed at
Wheeler Field to the accompanying
shouts and cheer of the crowd.
The preliminary examination Of the
gas tanks showed that roughly we had
about five gallons Of gas. or about
Death LOOmed Five Times.
Five times during the voyage It
looked as though we were doomed to
Davy Jones' locker. Tuesday after
noon we had been flying at low alti-
tude, and when darkness fell I decided
to make a little altitude in order to
enable my navigator to shoot at the
stars. We went into a cloudbank, and
pitch darkness prevailed. I could not
get out Of the clouds, and finally
noticed that I was getting dizzy look
ing at the instrument board. Then /
realized we were falling into tall
spin. Immediately I showed ahead on
the stick and sent her nose down.
This Strengthened us out, and I again
tried for altitude. but twice again I
went into tail-spin.
The fourth narrow escape occurred
in the middle of the night. We were
again flying at low altitude, barely
10 feet above the water. Visibility
was hazy. Capt. Schluter asked for
my fiashlight and attempted to hand
1t back to him. In doing so I thrust
my body forward and at the same
time unconsciously pushed ahead on
the stick. The nose dropped and I
saw by the altimeter that we were
close to the water.
Suddenly I felt a bump. The wheels
had struck a wave. / pulled back
hard on the stick and gave her the
gun just in time. Fortunately the

ing the presence Of which he had been
aware for several days, prepared for
battle.
Tearing aside several boards in a
pile of lumber he spied a bushy tail.
Grabbing the tail and holding his nose
with one hand and a bag with the
other he gave a mighty heave. and
jerked a surprised three -months-old
skunk into his bag.
Then Burgess, who used to be a
Maryland State motorcycle officer, de-
cided to test the discretion of the men
of No. Z.
Two husky pound employees, accus-
toned to handling dogs and other
animals but not used to handling
skunks, appeared full of confidence,
but started to depart sadder and wiser
men, leaving the skunk still in his
cage.
Fearful. after efforts to snare the
little animal had failed. that it was
to be a permanent guest of No. Z
precinct, the police prevailed upon
the pound men to linger a little
longer, and in desperation sent for
Burgess to WOO the skunk from the
cage.
Still clad in his skunk catching gar
ments, Burgess pursued his original
tactics. grasping the animal by the
tail and putting it into the pound
masters cage.
1t was born off In triumph to the
pound.
