When Johann Van Albert stepped
from tlie gangplank on u recent ar­
I
rival of tlie Mauretania he had the
distinction of being tlie tallest limn
who ever entered the United States.
Ills 8 feet 5 inches of height required
that a special berth, made up of two
cols placed end to eml in a large com­
panionway, be furnished for the trip
from Ills home in Amsterdam, Holland.
Since Johann lias left his quiet home
out among the nearby windmills of
Amsterdam ami Intends to enter the
show business over here, It will be in­
teresting to dig up some giant history
and see how he compares with previ­
ous competitors who used to be great
attractions. Probably no living giant
In tlie United States ever exceeded the
8 feet attained by tlie late Captain
Bates, who was a native of Kentucky.
Tlie word “living” is used here be­
cause of the fact that for some time
during the year 1809 the famous Car­
diff giant Ie«l many people to be­
lieve that a 10-foot man had once lived
in Onondaga County, N. Y. The story
of tliis monstrous fraud perpetrated on
tin* American public makes such un­
usual anil interesting reading thut it
will bear repeating.
The Idea had its Inception out in
Fort Dodge, In., when an adventurous
fakir purchased a huge block of gyp- I
sum from a quarrynian of that place. ‘
J The block then was shipped to Chi- j
cago. It being taken In charge by a
J sculptor, who chiseled it into a 10-foot
giant. Tlie surface was pricked with
needles to give it the appearance of
pores in the human skin, and then
treated with a variety of acids which
made the entire statue appear of
ancient origin. After completion the
giant was securely packed in an iron
box and shipped to Union, N. Y„
t
where tlie owner claimed it, loaded the
bulky box upon a large wagon and
hauled It fifty miles to a farm near
Cardiff. ' The giant form was then
removed from the box and secretly
buried, remaining under the ground
nearly a year, until It was "accidental­
ly" discovered by some workmen who
had been engaged to dig a well by the
promoter of the fraud.
This great discovery was made on
October 16, 1869, and news of the won­
derful petrified giant spread all over
the country. The lucky finders cover­
ed it with a tent and put it on exhibi­
tion, while special trains were run
from New York city and other nenrby
points so that the clamoring multitudes
could see the astonishing remains at
the earliest opportunity.
Until the deception was discovered

ilege.
But. passing on from this greatest
hoax, It Is found that Captain Bates
was the tallest of our modern Ameri­
can giants, although his 8-foot height
was slightly exceeded by that of Anna
Swan, a native of Nova Scotia. Going
I further back into giant history we find
that Queen Elizabeth’s head porter
I was 7 feet 6 Indies high, probably be­
ing given this exalted position on ac­
count of his ability to see what was

Among royalty Itself It is claimed
that one of the Roman emperors was
nearly 9 feet high, but the measure­
ments of those days may have allow­
ed him considerable more height than

Home Blew for Family Consumption
Declared Safe From Federal
Interference.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 19 -Robert C.
Saunders, United States attorney, an­
nounced this morning that he had in­
structed federal prohibition agents
to make no further searches or pil-
vate residences for liquor unless they
had absolute proof that unlawful
sales were made.
Home brew for consumption of
family and friends is safe from fed­
eral intervention on a search war­
rant. Home-made beer and wines are
exempt as well as any imported
stocks, intended for strictly social
purposes, insofar as a search warrant
applies. Unlawful possession of liq­
uor, the prqecutor said this morning,
I
may. be met with prosecution, but
the home where It is kept is inviola-
able from search. From the instruct­
ions issued to the federal prohibition
squad, it is understood according to
the federal officials that no special
effort will be made to locate stocks
of exhiliarating beverages, unless
their use is flagrant and offensive.
The instructions issued, he said,
are based on the fourth and fifth a-
mendments to the federal constitut­
I ion. especially the fourth amend­
ment. which makes a "man's home
his castle,” and on section 25 of title
Il of the Volstead act, which reads
as follows:
"No search warrant shall issue to
search any private dwelling occupied
as such unless it is being used for
the unlawful sal« of intoxicating li­
quors,”
The new instruction do no apply,
Mr. Saunders said, to lodging houses,
hotels and rooms over stores where
the transient public resides. The rul­
ing is to apply to the home-owner
and the permanent resident citizen
who has a family and Is maintaining
a household.
