A federal I rand jury at Rochester, It is said, will be empanelled to investigate branches of the alleged swindle while the grand jury at Buffalo, N. Y., will convene to take up the case. Much of the evidence which resulted In the indictments, It is said, was given the grand jury by a woman, Miss Clara Kronage, formerly employed as stenographer by the firm of Minyard, Kessler & Malcolm. Uisturici Attorney McRherson held a long conference with Miss Kronage and says she would go to Rochester to testify before the grand jury. The plan of operations, it is charg cd in the indictments, was for members of the firm to advertise their ability to sell stocks lor promoters and inventors. Those who answered the advertisements were told that the s'o'-k could not he sold at its true value unless guaranteed by a reliable guaranty company. The customer r then was recommended, it is charged to George S. Hann?irord, who represented the Chicago rtebenture com puny. Hannatord, the indictment states would guarantee the stock, charging I jm r cent of its par value.

Thousnds of dollars out of the South American republic are sent to Europe and the United States today :or pit game fowls and American breeders reap a harvest of good dol uirs in supplying the demand for high class pit games. The history of the game fowl ? I. 1-1 1? * I ... t ,v ? Iinuiiiu I readies prenisiuriu umt-o, iwi uiuu.,h ho Persians and other Asiatic people this fowl can be traced by tradition to over 1,0 00 years before the Christian era. It has been established beyond a doubt that the game fowl of today lias its origin in the Jungle of India, ''hey came down to us through the Greeks from Persia, from tne Greeks o the (tomans, which latter nation listributed them all over Europe. Game fowls, however, are found in he South Sea Islands an 1 the islands of the Pacilic, but they are evidently <>r' different origin. The jungle fowl is a small lightly built, small boned fowl, very active ami quick in its actions. The South Sea and Pacific towl is large in size and bone and slow in action and lacking in energy. Cock lighting began in England about tho time of the (toman invaion and, although it has been prohibited by law several times since 1191, in the reign of Henry 11., it was practised in spite of the law passed against it, for several of the ings in whose reign it was made illegal indulged in the practice. Even .ood King .Mnies I owned game fowls I engaged In cock fighting. The an dent Greeks and Romans used bone orass and iron spurs on the gam fowl? that they fought." I No breed of fowls on eartn nas reeived moro painstaking and carefu Mention in their breeding lhan n<t he frame fowl. This careful breeding >egan in Persia, where cock fighting vas practiced when Alexander the Meat conquered that country, and i 11 unbroken lino continues down tt he present time. The result of thi areful breeding is exemplified in th ;amo fowl of today. It is manifestly impossible to giv i history of the hundreds of differed reeds of these fowls that have from me to time appeared in Hnglar 1 bru \mercia. They have been bred in all olors. Rome of them, like the Pyle md Duck-wing varieties, are among he most beautiful of ail other breeds Hid yet this has been accomplished without in any degree affecting theii tiigh standard as to ganieness and usefulness as fighters in the pit. In England the Earl of Derby games foi vears have stood at the head of all *ame fowls there, and today theii blood courses through many of our American breeds. Prior to the civil war the Rhett game of South Carolina stood first among the games o* ho south. Hundreds of other noted varieties have since come forwar", both in England and America thaT have proved their superiority to any if the games of former times. Now, we have been looking at thrs grand bird only as a fighting machine, uid not as a fancy or as a utility fowl. There is no fowl in existence to-day chat surpasses in beauty the game fowl. I have no reference to the fowl (hat is to-day bred in America as a show bird, with its ridiculous long 'egs, its unsightly small, narrow body, its long neck, capped wiMi a long, small head, for this fowl is useless, except as a fancy monstrosity ihat some people think adds to its beauty, but I am talking about th? r,xor>nr>rnllv as the nit game - a fowl of grand appearance that 'onotos in its every action that it is without, a peer on all poultry down, n fowl that for ages has been bred on fbe Darwinian idea, "The survival of lie fittest," with a pedigree that is lost in ant lenit y, but thnt has come to us through all his past generations with its chief characteristics just as they were thousands of years ago. Now, as a utility bird. Where can vou find, nil things considered, their ?qual? Their egg product has seldom been equaled.

There are now in the active service only about thirty-five otticers and enlisted men who have been awarded medals ol honor. What the men who are to be rewarded by the medals of honor next Saturday did stamped them as heroes. It was July 4, 19 09 that the ati'liir occurred, on the island of Patian in the Phillippine archipelago. Al o?' the dattoes in 1908 had promised to be good. Hut one turned pearl pi rate. Maj. Gen. Wood sent out strict oiders to the soldiers on the Island oi Jolo to get this pirate chief, whose name was .likiri. It was a long, hard campaign, hut ended in in victory and Lieuts. Wilson and Kennedy and Sergeant Henderson were recoinmende 1 lot medals of hoorr. It was not alone the official report which brought high honors to these four soldiers. It was more the evidence contained in a personal lett.ei iroin one of tho ollicers participating in the fight to a brother ollicer bach in the states. This personal letter only fell under the observation of th< War Department ofllcials by chance It was from a "shave-tailM (a second lietuenant not long graduated from West Point). The letter, the writer and recipient of which cannot for obvious reasons be named, describes the action in which the men who arc to be decorated were as follows: "Then an advance was ordered. 1 suppose theso were about forty men on the firing line. The rest wore in the rear, or carrying ammunition. Some of my men got up into the line with only their revolvers and we started crawling forward on our bellies. "Capt.

Then a big spear came whizzing out from the cave and gave one man an ugty wound in the shoulder. Finally the right of the line was right up against the entrance and my part was up against a stone barricade about ten feet from our etrance. It was impossible to go in, for the entrance was only about two feet square, an they were waiting inside to cut of! the first head that showed itself. They were firing through the door from outside but couldn't do much damage owing to the construction of tho cave. "Well, just as we got up to the barricade there was a shout from our door and a big Moro jumped straight for us with a barong. ( Rarong is the lighting weapon of the Joloano Moroi I had grabbed a rifle from some man when wo started tho advance, and four of us tired at him and got him in the middle of his Jumps. lie hit the ground once, turned ?a somersault in the air and rolled over dead just inside the barricade.

The detectives were on the trail of the pair, suspecting them ol having been accomplices in a dianion ( roi. u. o *o? ui.iii isophio Beckendor a domestic had been held lor the grand jury today. The women win had lost the jewels traced the girl o Vogels house and told the detective of her discovery. After the taxicab that the Vogels had sought lodging at the Elsmere hotel, at Cortland avenue and One Hundred SSixty-ttisu street in the Bronx. Martin F. Fay, central oftice detective, and John Allen and Louis CJerade, private detectives, went to the hotel in search Louis Moendschein, the proprietor, told of the couple having arrived in a taxicab early in the evening, and ordered William Butler, a waiter, to show the detectives to the Vogels' room. Vogel opened the door in response to a summons and as Allen forced his way in, declaring that the couple were under arrest, Vogel struck the detective over the heact with a blackjack and then grasped a magazine pistol which lay upon the bed. His first bullet struck Allen in the head and ho fell probably fatally hurt. Fay and (lerade rushed into the room, followed by Moendschein and Butler. It is declared that they did not fire a shot, but expected to seize Allen's assassin. They were not luiok enough. Vogel let go 0110 shot after another, nearly every one taking effect. Fay and Moendschein hotli received probably latai wouihis in tho abdomen. Gerale was shot in ilie lag and back and Butler received a bad wound in the hip. The woman, also armed, had fired several shots, some of which it is believed hit the detectives. Yogel turned on his woman and shot. She was shot through the abdomen and soon expired. Vogel made quick work of himself by "Mttirg the last bullet from his gun into his head. At tin4 hospital to which all of tho wounded were taken it is sal ' probably all except Butler would die. At a late hour the two trunks and two suit cases, which the couple had taken to the hotel were removed to a police station hut the stolen jewelry was not. found. Tho police say that in trailing the Yogel pair the detectives were probably running down a completely organized scheme for robbing residences throughout the upper West Side. The Indictment on which the Precken lorf girl was held, charged her with numerous robberies of jewels. amounting to several thousand dollars. * According to tho police the girl broke down Monday night and confessed that the Vogels were with her. and it was to them she had given the stolen articles. The plan of operalion was for the girl to advertise for a position as a domestic and as soon as she had obtained it to rob her cmnlover's hoi >e. that the three officers and Henderson ere seriously wounded.

A Democrat will succeed Ernest Cochran as district attorney and will receive $4.oou; lik< wise there will be an assistan district attorney. Then will come collector of the port at Charleston worth about $1,800 a year, and postmaster at that same place, which, too is a good job. Add to this about ') small cities in the State whore the postmasters are paid each year salaries averaging f2.ono and 60 where they are paid $1,000 and you will have a pay roll of more than $100,000 a year. It must he remembered that the South Carolinians were among the most faithful of all the Democratic workers. South Carolinians here are won dering who will succeed Postmaster Harris at Charleston, Floyd at Spartanburg, Young at Union, Hicks at Laurens, Huggins at Columbia, Webster at Orangeburg, and ofllclals elsewhere throughout the State. These are all good offices and the pay is attractive, considering that the duties are In the, main most pleasant, i Equally much discussed here is the question of who will he made district attorney and assistant district attorney and collector of the port at Charj leston. Ernest Cochran and his assistant will have to go as will IC. YV. I Durant of Charleston. So far as th^ appointment of postmasters is concerned there seems to bo little hope for any ttcpunncau co bold over, no matter how efficient his services may have been to the patrons of hiH office. President-elect Wilson intends to leave the naming of all such officials to the members of the house, and this shows most clearly that where a district has a Democratic coi gressmnn the future postmasters in his district are likely to be of that persuasion. There are many good officials among the South Carolina postmasteis and doubtless they have most generally rendered faithful service, I but indications point to the fact that they will have to give way to the new order of things early next year.
