a quarter ot a million signatures
have been secured in favor of dras
tic action by congress against news
papers and magazines printed in inn

support was given In the following
telegram sent Dy a. u. i;ruis,
tary ot the society:
"Please accent the assurance of
nnr nrdinl endorsement of your ef
forts looking toward the suppression
of the German and Austrian lan
guage press. To support your patri
otic and much needed legislation we
are arranging for Immediate presen
tation of our petitions signed by
260,000 citizens of the U. 8. Our
canvas is today being carried on by
our two hundred ana sevemy-jieYeii
branch organisations In the United
States, Hawaii and Porto Rico and
by many civic and patriotic societies.
Our ronorts show that Individual cit
izens and associations in all parts of
the country are giving prompt and
unqualified endorsement to this cam
paign. In one New yorn oiuce

1800 signatures. We are especially

YOUNG GIRL STEPS ON
A BIG BATTLE SNAKE
George 15. Colo, a farmer who lives
on
Red mountain, about 14 miles
south or tho city, was In town today
and told of a thrilling experience
with a big rattle snake a short time
ago. Mr. Cole nnd his daughter
were engaged! In shocking oats, the
young lady using a pitcnrorK tn
handling the bundles, when she
stoimed squarely on the snake,
which had quietly remained bidden
In the stubble. Rattlesnakes are
quite numerous in the vicinity of the
Colo farm, and the young woman
Intuitively knew that she hnd trod
on a snake when she felt him squirm
beneath her foot, nnd jumped so
quickly that she escaped the vicious
strike of the rattler. Mr. Cole just
happened to glance that way In time
to see the whole transaction, or por-
haPB the startled exclamation of the
girl drew his attention. As he
glanced up he saw the Bplrnl like
shape of the Bnnke as ho lunged at
his Intended, victim, springing lor
ward Colo grabbed the pitchfork
from thol girls hands and struck
the Biiako so violently as to break
the hickory handle. The rattler
proved to be an old follow and meas
ured three feet and four Inches in
length. A few days previously a big
rattlor was discovered near the Colo
home, lying stretched out in It path
nnd was killed.
