MURDER NOT NECESSARY.
Crew Abandon* Ship With
$1,000,000 Fur Cargo.
Winnipeg.—One of the most amaz
ing tales of hardship and adventure
that has come out of the Far North In
yeara—a tale of hopeless battles with
Ice and sea, of a hair-breadth escape
from starvation In the wilderness be
low the pole—was told by Capt. Gus
Foellmer and members of the crew of
the Ill-fated Hudson’s Bay company’s
ship Lady Klndersley when they ar
rived here after abandoning their ves
sel to the engulfing ice floes off Point
Barrow.
“Well, If we had stayed with the
Klndersley another day we wouldn’t
have had a chance,” That was the
brief way In which Captain Foellmer,
a big, gaunt seaman, whose home Is
the Arctic ocean, described the escape
of the Klndersley’s crew. Ills ship, he
added, probably is at the bottom of
the northern seas now, with her mll-
llon-dollar cargo of furs.

Not until all hope of saving her had
gone did Captain Foellmer reluctantly
give the order to abandon his stout
little ship—and then It was with faint
hope of reaching shore. Many times
the skipper and sailors of the Klnders
ley had attempted to make their way
to shore across the Ice floes after she
had become wedged solidly In the slow
ly moving scum that covered the
northern sea. Each time they had
failed, turned back by yawning crev
ices in the Ice and bewildered by the
heavy fog which had settled down
upon the surrounding whiteness. When
they started on tlielr flnul dash It was
not for shore, but for the open sea,
where they knew, by wireless advices,
that the United States steamship
Boxer was standing by, somewhere out

position, gained by their wireless com

Lawrence M. Hight and Mr«.
Hweetin have been found guilty of
the poisoning of Mrs. Sweetin’s
husband, whose presence on earth
interfered with the illicit love
affair between those who conspired
to take his life.
Mr. Hight was a pastor and
preached the gospel of the lowly
Nazarene during the time he was
planning to break one command
ment as the result of having com
mitted th»! greatest sins against a
fellow man.
During the time that he was
coveting his neighbor’s wife and
was planning to get that neighbor
out of the way, Mr. Hight, in his
capacity as a pastor, joined couples
in tho holy bonds of matrimony
and admonished them that the tie
was to hold “unto death

Mr. Hight evidently was a cui-
tured man, one who should be
oxpected to shrink from a great
crime, even though he were not

HOW CHINESE USE
MONKEYS IN WAR
Training of the Animals I*
Long and Arduous Task.
London.—The use of monkeys In
warfare by the Chinese dates back to
the time when the Mongolians cap
tured Peking. The monkeys used are
the ‘‘Wah-Wahs," called after the pe
culiar call they make when angry.
They are tailless, always walk upright,
and when fully grown are about 4 feet
tn height, says a writer In the Dally
News.
The monkeys are captured when
quite young and are kept In a small
hut situated on a lonely plain, The
training of the animals is a long and
arduous task, and only such as the
Chinese, with their Infinite patience
and utter disregard of time, would at
tempt
The animal is let out of the hut at
the end of a thin cord about ten feet
long and made to go forward and take
out of the ground a little flagstaff with
a yellow flag on it. This flagstaff
forms the center of three fiagstaffs,
the two outer flags being blue.
When the monkey brings back the
yellow flag he Is la rewarded with food,
but if he attempts to touch the blue
flags the cord Is drawn tight and he
is chastised. Gradually the cord is
lengthened, and after years of train
ing the monkey Is capable of going
distances up to two miles and bringing
back his colored flag.
Other monkeys are taught to take
blue flags, others red, until an army
commander is in possession of several
hundred monkeys distinguished by th*
color painted on their backs.
Every Chinese division Is distin
guished by colored pennants carried
by bannermen, soldiers noted for their
bravery. When a commander wishes
to make an attack and desires to strike
terror Into the enemy, he selects about
20 monkeys of the enemy's color. The
animals are starved for several days
and kept in a position where they can
see the enemy.
The night of the attack the monkeys
are covered all over with luminous
paint and let loose., They immediate
ly make their way over Into the ene
my’s lines, where their appearance and
the savage way In which they bite
and scratch In their efforts to capture
the flags strike terror In the heart of
the enemy. When the commander
hears the loud "Wah-Wah” of bls
beasts he knows the enemy are In con
fusion and launches bls attack.

Loveland, Colo.—Incased In a tube
of lead, a ribbon of powerful TNT,
known as a Cordeau fuse, Is being

This fuse will be burled under snow
drifts 15 to 25 feet deep on both sides
of Fall River pass, and in the spring
drifts of snow will be blasted from the
trail.

Tests of 175 cars for brake performance concluded by engineers of the
Bureau of Standards at Washington, D. C., show that automobile brakes
in active service are not up to the standard set by engineers. Emergency,
or hand-brakes, chief reliance of many motorists, especially on cars not
equipped with modem four-wheel brakes, when a sudden stop is required,
failed to come up to specifications by a wide margin. Foot, or service brakes
were better, but not sufficiently good to insure a great margin of safety.
Seventeen per cent of the foot brakes were marked excellent.
Forty-one per cent were registered good; nineteen per rent were described
as poor.
Only three per cent of the emergency brakes were marked excellent.
Sixteen per cent were good and 67 per cent poor.
In the tests the driver was required to drive his car 20 miles an hour on
a smooth, well-traveled asphalt highway and then come to a sudden stop.
