radicalism will be offered to the 1885
Legislature by Frank G. Martin, AS
semblyman from Altadena.

from Illinois legislation which has
been upheld by the Supreme Court.
Use of literature, organizations, dis
play Of emblems or teaching in schools
any thought to advocate overthrow OF
the Government would be q felony,
punishable by 1-to-14-year prison

Deliberate attendance at an in
flammatory meeting or permitting the
use of structures for such an assembly
would be made miSdemeanor with
penalties ranging from $500 to 81 900
fine to six months or year in jail.
Another measure would require that
every foreigner employed in a public
school of this country take an oath OF
support of the laws Of the United
States or suffer dismissal.
A third bill would make it a felony
to display any emblem advocating
overthrow of the Government by vio-
lence.
To the school code would be added
a section prohibiting teachers or any
school employee from teaching or
shielding any person advocating COM
munism or any plan contemplating

Muskrot Trapping

$l,5OO,OOO in 1885
Pelts From, Marsh Land

Fur Centers.
BY ]. C. DEPONAI.

BALTIMORE, January SAN in
dustry of Maryland, of which little is
known, but which will net trappers
upwards Of s1,5Oo,0OO this year, is the
raising of muskrats, pelts of which
are sold In fur coat manufacturing
centers throughout the country.
Pelts of Maryland muSkratS are
eagerly sought by furriers on account
of the color and quality Of the fur,
game warden, who estimated a good
according to e. Lee LIE Compile, State
season this year.
Although the trapping center Of the
State borders the eastern and western
shores Of Chesapeake Bay generally,
trapping activities are fairly well set
tied in Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester,
Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset
Counties, with Queen Anne and Kent
trailing not far behind in output.
Along the Eastern shore virtually
every tributary of the Chesapeake,
running inland to a certain point, be-
comes hrackish and forms what are
known as fresh water marshes. In
these marshes the little furry animals
live in houses resembling nothing so
much as semi-submerged shocks of
hay.
lie Compile explained it is not I'M
usual for 5000 acres Of the marsh
land to produce, in good seasons, 49,
900 pelts. at prices ranging from
$3.50 to So each, excluding the value
Of the meat obtained.

FLATBUSH CITIZENS
HELD HOME-L
Community Survey Reveals Aver.
age Family Pays $46.35
Rent.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 5.-Those
who dwell in Flatbush were appraised
today as the most home-loving people
In all New York City.
The rating came from Langdon w
Post, tenement house commissioner,
and is based on a survey showing that
Flatbush-which is ~ square miles
Of Brooklyn-is more a home COM
munity than any other section Of New
York City.
The community, originally settled by
Dutch colonists about 1851, has 42,01s
families, the report showed, and one
out of every four families lives in a
private house.
The average F1atbush family pays
$46.35 monthly rent. Some pay $3.50
and more, 1000 pay $75 to 500 and
$4,000 pay $50 to SIS. The average
Flatbush rent is $40 higher than the
medium for Brooklyn, which Is $3.50
a month more than the figure for
Manhattan.
The survey was made by c. w. A.
workers in real property inventory
for the Housing Authority.

Navy traditions for long-dis-

These newest long distance ven

Sailing from here January for the
Canal Zone, Johnson's flagship, the

S3O,0)D,0lO PIER
| IS REPLY TO CRITIC
Fear That Golden Gate
Span May Slip Results in
Careful Survey.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated tEeSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 5.-One
of the most difficult bridge piers con-
ceived by engineering has been COM
pleted at cost of 10000, 900 and, its
builders say, it is not going to slip into
the ocean and perhaps partially block
the Golden Gate
To quiet the fears of an outstand-
ing geologist that the foundation Of
the main 736-foot tower on the San
Francisco side was insecure due to
the nature of the underlying rock and
the contour of the site on which 1t
stands, an unusual underwater sur
vey has been made.
Ten acres surrounding the immense
pier-a regulation foot ball field could
be laid out on the bottom within the
fender walls, if the pier were hollow
was marked out. 1t was ruled of into
a huge checker board with squares
20 by 20 feet. At the corner of each
square a 2,000-pound weight was
dropped and deep-sea diver was sent
down. He was attached to the huge
weight by chain so that he couldn't
stray away from the section assigned
to him.
Area Carefully Charted.
He covered each square. foot by foot,
walking under from As to nearly $50
feet of water and reporting by tele-
phone to men on the surface who
charted the shape and nature of the
ground as he described it. The reports
were checked by second diver working
independently without knowledge OF
the previous divers report.
It had been commended that the
great pier was unsafe due to the slope
Of the channel bed and the belief
that an upper strata Of serpentine rock
was underlain by a strata Of sand
stone.
Not only was it determined, the
bridge engineers assert, that the pier
is not on dangerously sloping ledge
but drilling innumerable holes, some
to a depth of 100 feet, failed to reveal
the dreaded sandstone strata. The
serpentine rock, they say, is among
the hardest known in the State.
The steel tower that now will be
built on the new pier, like its twin on
the Marin County shore, will be 121
feet wide at the bottom. AS the base
Of this one goes deeper into the bed
rock, the full length of tower and pier
will be greater. From the rock base to
the top of the steel work will measure
846 feet.
1t is designed to support vertical
load of 4OO,000,OO0 pounds. The top
Of the towers must resist horizontal
wind force Of 100000 pounds.
The San Francisco pier was difficult
to construct, not only because of its
great size, but also because Of strong
currents and the ocean tides.
Hollow wells have been left in the
pier, so that inspectors can go down to
bedrock at will to make inspections.

Associated Press STAFF Writer.

Ell RENO, Okla, January S.
Prisoners cluck at plodding oxen and
their fingers move over Anticipated
hand looms in the new United States
Southwestern Reformatory here as
Government experts watch develop
mentS in an experiment which may
revolutionize prison welfare.
In a place where time means moth
ing the prison authorities have turned
back 1000 years, throwing into dis
card labor-saving devices Of the ma
chine age in an effort to occupy the
minds and hands of men imprisoned
here.
Speed and efficiency has gone by
the boards, as roundabout, tedious and
slow methods of performing tasks are
adopted.
The man behind the experiment is
H. L. Merry, a New Highlander, former
New York hotel operator and student
of economics. He instituted it when
he became warden.
When Merry arrived he had an
appropriation with which to buy i'm
plements and machinery for the 1000
acre prison farm.
Rather than buy tractors and other
modern machinery, he began search
for way Of doing things that would
require more time rather than saving
it. He recalled oxen, which he had
seen used when he was boy in Con-
necticut, and decided that this was
probably the slowest method of till
{v,ex -
They fit so well in his plans that he
bought II more Jokes.
I'VE have what we want" Merry
said. We've got to cut down on
speed. There's too much speed in the
world"
The oxen are popular with the pris-
oners, Merry reported. Many pris-
oners have asked to be transferred to
OK teams, so they will know how to
use them when they complete their
terms and go back to their farms,
the warden said.
Drivers are Youths.
Five of the OK team drivers are
youths-car thieves.
Similar success has followed install
lation of hand looms. Merry first
bought one for model and an expert
ment. Prison workers constructed
another, and are making 20 more.
Most of the loom workers are Sioux
Indians, sent to the prison from the
Dakotas. Like the OK drivers, they
like their work, Merry said.
Next year the prison will grow its
own cotton and sheep for wool, Merry
has planned. BY hand these fibers
will be fabricated into finished
products.
AS Merry discussed his plans, two
antiquated horse-drawn vehicles
passed. In the vehicles were men
being taken to the train to be sent
to other prisons, Merry explained.
'They could have gone by truck in
less time, but why hurry? The pris-
oners have all the time in the world
A truck would need but one driver
These require two drivers. I've
doubled the manpower."
