TWO MEN ARE HELI).
Archie King and Earle Williams Are S
Arrested.
Jacksonville, Nov. 14.?Archie
King is under bond of $1,000 charg- n
ed with manslaughter, and Earle Wii- si
liams a like amount. The latter is ti
charged with being his accomplice, q
in connection with the fatal stabbing a
of B. G. McWhite, Jr., here Thursday w
night. t<
The features of the coroner's in- tl
* quest held yesterday were the appear- tl
ance of two young women in the b,
case, as the cause of jealousy existing
between the two factions of young f(
men and the statement of King as p
to how the fatal blow from his knife w
was struck. This, he claims, was k
- - - v J - X *_ i T?
caused Dy nis arm oeing sirucK u> u
McWhite, who was wielding a bar of f<
iron in such a manner that the knife tl
was brought in contact with the ar- f*
tery of the ill-fated young man's o
thigh. b
> The fight ensued near the home of h
the young women where McWhite tl
and his companion, R. L. Register, d
were calling. King and Williams ap- f<
pear to have sought an engagement g
w^th the same young women, and T
- finding the other two men present n
the encounter took place. Although b
there is a mystery about the method
of the combat Thursday night, which P
resulted in the death of one man, a:
Justice Charles D. Abbott, who con- ei
ducted the inquest, felt that the pre- 1<
ponderance of the testimony today v:
warranted nothing heavier than a
v charge of manslaughter against King. 1?

Value of a Lawyer's Talk.
* p
A young lawyer was defending an j?
old convict on the charge of burglary n
in a state where the the court rules a
allow each side one hour to address 0
the jury. The young lawyer, some- ?p
what nervous, consulted a veteran 0
member of the bar who happened to 0
^
be standing near, "\tiow mucu time a
do you think I should take up in ad- a
dressing the jury?" he asked in a e;
rather pompous manner. w
"Take the full hour," was the gruff ^
reply. Ct
"The full hour? Why, I intended to
take only fifteen minutes." t(
J "Take the full hour," repeated C
j the old lawyer."
I "But why?" tI

Many Are Living Illegitimately. ' ^
Atlanta, Nov. 5.?The percentage ^
of couples living together in Atlanta ^
without the sanction of the church
r<
and law has reached sensational figc<
ures, according to the present grand
jury, and a committee has been ap- ^
pointed to trace the cause and bring
about if possible some system of ^
reform.
It is stated that the "fausse menage"
in which the man and woman
do not consider necessary the taking q
of marriage vows before they become
public, is not only large but also on
the increase in Atlanta; not so large
of course as in the Latin quarter at ^
Paris, but large enough to be hurtful
-Ll._ * tl
to the general morais ol me wm- ^
munity.
Pessimists are already saying, of *
course, that the present situation
has an indirect relation to the fact
that the lid was put on vice in At*
- ' lanta a few months ago, and are ?
% <r C
quoting world famous scientists and v
y
statisticians to back them up in their
gloomy views.
The grand jury, with this new
a
situation to face, is considering the
advisability of turning the white light s1
c<
of publicity on every one of these
affinity couples, and wherever pos- **
Isible compelling marriage.
They are admittedly at a loss, p
however, at the best way to combat b
the situation, and are asking for suggestions
on the subject.

a RAmftrkaMfl XewsDaoer, tl
(In British Columbia there is a lit- b
tie newspaper, the Kamloops Wawa. si
circulating among several tribes of U
North American Indians. The unique u
feature of this journal is that it is a
printed in shorthand. Its story is a
remarkable one. Some years ago the t<
Rev. J. M. Le Jeune, a Breton mis- n
siouary, arrived in British Columbia c]
to take charge of a territory some a:
fifty miles square. He found the
great obstacle to his work to be the e<
absence of any means of written com- ft
j munication, as the natives had no h
j written language of their own. His ei
' repeated efforts to teach them to read ^
and write by ordinary methods failed a
entirely. The missionary was ac- ft
quainted with the simple French h
Duployan shorthand, and then conceived
the novel idea of teaching the e:
Indians to write their own language C
phonetically by means of the short- tl
hand characters. He adopted the. w
stenographic signs to the Chinook
language, and the experiment proved ft!
a complete success. , There are to-1
rfotr thrPA thousand Indians able to ! u
write and read their own language by d
no other means than shorthand.
"Wawa" means "talk" in the Chi- r<
+ nook, hence the title of the little w
newspaper which has been the natural
outcome of the missionary's under- r<
taking. ci
SAND-STUFFED CHICKENS.
ome Poultry Packers Add to Weight
by Feeding With Sand.
Washington, Nov. 13.?The departlent
of agriculture, after extensive
:udy of the practice of certain poul y
packers in feeding chickens with
uantities of sand just before they
re killed, so that the poultry will
eigh more, has issued a warning
) housewives to scrutinize carefully
ley buy, and to watch the craws of
le chickens that are being dressed
v the butcher.
The government inspectors have
)r some time been investigating the
ractices of certain poultry shippers,
ho collect chickens from farms and
ill and ship them in large quantities.
1 some of these places the inspectors
)und that the practice was to take
ie chickens as they came from the
irms, nearly always below weight
r out of condition because of their
eing ill-fed on the farms and handid
roughly on the cars, and keep
lem in fattening pens for from three
ays to two weeks. The chickens are
id corn meal and water or finely
round mixed grains and buttermilk,
his practice is becoming more and
lore general and is highly desirable
ecause both quality and quantity of
dible flesh is increased. It is also
rofitable, as the cost of care, feed
nd interest on the investment *necssary
to add a pound in weight still
javes a good margin of profit, proided
the fattening is rightly done.
Not content, however, with adding
igitimately to the weight of the
bickens, some of the poultry shipers,
a day or two before the chicken
killed feed red pepper, which
lakes the chicken have an abnormal
ppetite, then they feed a mixture
f fine sand and a little corn meal,
he chicken eats this mixture ravenusly
and as a result large quantities
f sand are introduced into the craw
nd the intestines as well. This may
mount, in the case or a single cnicKq,
to only an ounce or two, but
here thousands of chickens are sold
le aggregate charge for sand beDmes
important. It simply means
lat the poultry dealer is selling sand
> the consumers at the rate of 20
>nts or more per pound.
The housewife 6hould scrutinize
le crops of poultry before buying
ad make it very plain to her pouliy
dealer or butcher that she will
ot pay at the rate of 20 to 30 cents
er pound for an ounce or more of
md introduced into the body of a
Sicken with the view of defrauding
le purchaser. In fact, she should
jbel against food in the crop, beluse,
quite aside from fraud, the
resence of food means that the
tiicken has not kept as well as it
ould have kept had it been starved
>r twenty-four hours before killing.
MORO WHO WAS A WIT.
apt. Morris Tells of the Time He
Taught Head Hunters Baseball.

afantry, has, theoretically, died a
lousand deaths for his country in
le Philippines, mostly battling madagainst
Moros, and as a reward of
lerit he now is living a peaceful
fe at the Presidio of San Francisco,
imporarily attached to the quarteriaster
corps, says the San Francisco
hronicle. At the Presidio the quarjrmaster
corps doesn't do much of
nything saving pay, feed, clothe
nd otherwise keep in good humor
11 that section of Uncle Sam's army
rationed there. The quartermaster
Drps works 18 hours a day and has
le balance of the time to itself.
When somewhat youger than at
resent?and Capt. Morris cannot
e accused of being an aged person?
le Sixth Infantry officer was staoned
with his company in some inecessible
Moro town. Morris thought
lat if the Moros of his district could
ecome interested in some sporting
tuDt outside of head hunting the
nited States insurance companies'
lortality tables could readily be redjusted
so far as soldiers were con
srned, so he encouraged his men to
?ach the Moros baseball. When a
lan is playing baseball he is not
bopping off heads, and Capt. Morris
ppreciated this fact.
Two baseball teams were organizd?a
Moro team and a team from
lorris' company?and one day the
ret game of the series was to bepulld
off. The question of the umpire
as the great one of the moment,
nd after much discussion a native
[oro was selected to pass upon the
ne points of the game.
In Filipino "umpire" is properly
xpressed as "makifuLa," and when
apt. Morris arrived on the scene of
le proposed ball game the Moro who
as to be umpire approached him.
"Makifula, me," remarked the
toro.
Capt. Morris looked at the native
mpire without in the slightest unerstanding
what he was driving at.
I'm glad you are a 'makifula,' he
emarked, "but please inform me
hat the word means."
"Means makifula of Americans,"
eplied the Moro. "Me learn Amerian
language fast."
SEXXT TO FEDERAL PRISON
Three Freight Car Thieves Sentenced
in Atlanta.
The Carlin bill, recently passed by
congress, making the robbery of
freight cars, baggage cars and express
cars engaged in interstate commerce,
I and the robbery of interstate shipments
from platform and station, a
I federal offence, is a law with teeth
in it, and sharp ones at that, as was
evidenced in the federal court in Birmingham,
Ala., Thursday, when John
T- Parker was siven a sentence of
six years in the United States prison,
having been convicted of robbing a
shipment of shoes consigned to Glazen,
Miss., from a car in the Birmingham
yards on May 4. Parker was
also implicated in robbing a shipment
of notions consigned to Avondale,
Ala., from a car in the Birmingham
I yards on the night of July 30, and
! Otis Williams and Arthur Goodeye,
who, it is was allleged, asjisted him,
I were given sentences of four years
I and six months and three years and
six months, respectively, in the United
States prison.
Under the Carlin law the prosecution
of car and depot thieves is
greatly simplified and the certainty
of conviction is much greater, as the
federal statutes do not provide the
i loopholes found in various state laws
through which many criminals whose
I guilt was clearly proved have been
enabled to escape on technicalities.
As the result of the operation of this
law it is believed that criminals will
recognize the danged of tampering
with freight cars and depots, and that
there will be a great decrease in

AUTOMOBILE KILLS MOST.
A Comparison of Deaths by Steam
Train and Motor Car.
The municipal reference librarian
of Chicago, Frederick Rex, has taken
the trouble to collate some statistics
regarding fatal railway and automobile
accidents for the fiscal year 1912,
and has drawn therefrom a few interesting
comparisons. He finds that the
number of passengers killed in all
ways on all of the railways of the
United States during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1912, was 270. During
the same period according to in;
formation obtained . by the Chicago
statistical expert, 691 persons were
killed by automobiles in 22 American
cities having a population of 100,000
or more.
The comparison becomes startling
| when it is realized that in the State
of New York alone such cities as
Rochester, Syracuse and Albany are
not included. Neither does the list
of 22 cities include all other cities in
other States with population exceeding
100,000.?Chicago Record Herald
NO HOUSE MONEY; DIVORCE.
German Husbands Must Pay Or Have
Wages Garnished.
One German housewife at least has
proved that she has a legal right to
the regular weekly, semi-monthly of
I monthly allowance which her hus-.
i band is accustomed to 'make for
housekeeping expenses, says a Berlin
letter.
If he fails to provide her with an
allowance sufficient to conduct the
household in a manner suitable to
the family's station in life she may
proceed against him at law, and the
i court will grant an interlocutory decree,
under which, if necessary, a rei
calcitrant husband's wages may be
garnished.
The foregoing rules of law have
just been laid down by the Supreme
Provincial Court of Brunswick. The
court rqjed further that the allow
ance must be paid in advance for a
period of not less than one week.
The husband can not escape his
'obligations <to advance the cash by
opening a line of credit at various
shops for his wife. She muet be in a
position to buy where she can buy at
the greatest advantage and must
have the money necessary to enable
her to do this.
The case that a man may have a
spendthrift wife is provided for in
the civil code. His remedy, in case
the wife misuses her so-called "power
of the keys," is to take her housekeeping
into his own hands.
[ Obeyed Instructions.
The teacher of a large school sent
one of her scholars to buy a pound
of plums from a fruit vender outside,
relates the Buffalo Enquirer, and as
she handed the little girl ten cents,
said:
"Be sure, Mary, before buying the
plums, to pinch one or two, just to
see that they are ripe."
I In a little while the girl returned
with flushed face and a triumphant
! look in her eyes. Hnading the teacher
the bag of plums, she placed the
money on the desk and exclaimed:
"I pinched one or two, as you told
j me, and when the man wasn't look|
ing I pinched a bagful."
FINDS DAUGHTER IN DREAM.
Mother Reunited With Girl Who Was
Lost for 15 Years.
A dream, so vivid that it led a
mother to travel nearly 1,000 miles,
came true with the reunion of Mrs.
Marion A. Dexter, of Chicago, and
her daughter, Alice G. Dexter, for
whom she has been searching for 15
years, says a Syracuse dispatch to
The New York Tribune.
On last Sunday night Mrs. Dexter,
in Chicago, dreamed that she found
her daughter living with the family
of James S. Slocum in Moravia, N.
Y. So deeply was .Mrs. Dexter impressed
by the d^eam that she journeyed
to Moravia, arriving there and
finding thp Hrpnm true in everv Dar
ticular.
Fifteen years ago Miss Dexter's
parents decided to separate at Boston,
Mrs. Dexter at once went West,
moving recently to Chicago. She had
lost all track of her daughter. Mr.
Dexter died in New York a year ago.
The daughter, who is a miniature
painter; had been visiting the Slocum
family for a week past.
ARMY MANEUVER DAMAGES.
Misconception Regarding Uncle
Sam's Willingness to Pay. j
An important sequel of the maneuvers
wherever and whenever they
occur is the settlement of claims for
damages. This account has now been
closed in the case of the Connecticut
maneuvers last summer, which cost
the government about $8,000 in adjusting
the claims for damages, says
the Army and Navy Register. It is
found that a misconception of law
has given rise to the idea that the
government pays for damage done by
a man wearing the uniform. A great
many officers of the National Guard,
it was found, had this mistaken notion,
and so informed civilians. Under
the law the government does not
pay and is not liable for any damages
not incident to military operations.
Theft and other torts committed
by individuals must be met by
action against the individual or
against the organization to which he
belongs. Fully 50 per cent, of the
owners within the territory of last
year's maneuvers were blessed with
a pliable conscience, it appears, when
a claim against the government was
under consideration. This at times
verged upon a willingness to commit
fraud, according to an official report
in the matter. Many farmers were
willing that damage should be done,
believing that.they would make money
thereby. One man of prominence,
owning land in the ground covered
by the maneuvers, said that he saw
damage being done, and neither interposed
an objection nor made any
report to the military authorities,
who were in camp nearby, and with
whom he was associating socially.
He said that he did not take steps to
stop the damage because he knew
the government would pay him well
for it.
FRESH BLOOD COULD NOT SAVE.
Young Woman from Savannah Dies
in New York of Anaemia.
New York, Nov. 17.?Miss Edith
M. Thomas, a senior of Barnard College,
died to-day of anaemia, despite
the transfusion of blood from four
Columbia students. The girl's father
tried vainly to obtain blood from
healthy men, though the Salvation
Army could find none suitable. The
student friends of the dying girl then
volunteered their services, but she
was so weak that the operation proved
without avail.
Nails Down Lid.
Austin, Texas, Nov. 18.?Two new
liquor statutes become effective at
midnight Monday.
One, prohibiting the shipment of
liquor into dry territory, makes an
apparent attempt to put grape juice
into competition with intoxicants by
providing specifically for its transportation.
Local dealers also are forbidden
to solicit business by letter,
circular or in other manner. Some
lawyers take this to mean that newspaper
advertising of liquor may be
stopped in dry territory.
The other law, known as the 9:30
civil closing clause, adds to the restrictions
imposed by the already effective
9:30 penal closing law.
Texas also puts into effect 12 other
new laws at midnight Monday. One
puts building and loan associations
under State supervision. A "blue
sky" law prohibits corporation stock
sale without a permit from either
the secretary of state or the State
commissioner of insurance and banking.
Exceptions to this are companies
with not more than 25 stockholders
and fraternal beneficiary orcro
ni^otinnc
to 0.1X1UUC1VUU.
Other laws will require railroads to
furnish cars to shippers upon written
demand; prohibit the use of the Lone
Star flag for trade marks, and make
it a misdemeanor for officials of State
educational and charitable institutitutions
to create a deficit to meet
expenses.
