EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC—Immediate investigation 
of the mail airplane accident at La Crosse 
February 9, which resulted iu three 
deaths, is asked by Governor Preus, of 
Minnesota. Discontinuance of the Chi¬ 
cago-Twin Cities mail is preferable to 
“the sacrifice of further lives by its oper¬ 
ation with obsolete equipment,” the Gov¬ 
ernor said, ile also called attention to 
the mail plane accident near Mendota, 
Minn., a week earlier, when one man was 
killed and another injured. 
An automobile truck containing 20 bar¬ 
rels of whisky, worth more than .$20,000, 
was stolen February 10 by four auto¬ 
mobile bandits who held up the driver 
of the truck and three men who followed 
the machine in a sedan car on the Lin¬ 
coln Highway, near Monmouth Junction, 
N. J., Feb. 9. In the fight for the whisky 
the bandits shot and killed Leo Salaman- 
dra, a saloon keeper of Trenton, and are 
believed to have killed one fo the crew of 
the truck. Less than 15 minutes later 
one of the bandits was killed when the 
automobile in which they were escaping 
came in collision with another machine 
at Franklin Park. 
Thirty bodies have been recovered and 
probably 30 others were injured in a 
tornado that struck the Gardner Settle¬ 
ment at Oconee, Washington Co., Ga., 
February 10. Forty houses were de¬ 
stroyed. a schoolhouse in which were 82 
white children and three teachers, was 
ripped to pieces, but the school children 
hid under their desks, and when the 
storm passed all found themselves out in 
the open air, with no building around 
them. Julia Jolly was the only one of 
the group injured. 
Men put to work by the city at Great 
Falls. Mont., February 10, at $5 a day 
to afford relief to local unemployment 
were called out on strike by the Federal 
Labor Union, demanding the men be paid 
$5.50, the union scale. The workers who 
were called out numbered less than half 
a dozen. They were working on the 
grounds of the city pumping station when 
the union's order was received. The City 
Council has decided to offer no more 
work to the unemployed. 
Registered mail, including $30,000 to 
$50,000 in currency, was stolen from the 
railroad station at Corbin, Ky., February 
10. The money, it was said, was shipped 
by a Cincinnati bank to the Wisconsin 
Steel Company at Corbin. 
Cocaine valued at $20,000 was un¬ 
earthed by Federal agents February 14 
in a safety deposit, box in the vault of a 
trust company in Philadelphia. Resides 
the “dope” in the bank the agents found 
040 ounces of gum opium, worth $6,000. 
in a “smoking room” and $1,000 worth of 
drugs in other sections of the city. 
A 12-day quarantine, virtually doubling 
the length of the voyage from Europe to 
the United States, was decided upon Feb¬ 
ruary 14 by the Public Health Service as 
a precaution against typhus fever. When 
put in effect this drastic ruling means 
ocean liners like the Olympic and Irn- 
perator, which now cross in six days, will 
be obliged to lie at anchor in the bay for 
six days after their arrival before being 
allowed to dock and land passengers. 
Simultaneously it was announced that the 
Federal Government will take over the 
New York quarantine station from the 
State and immediately reorganize it. The 
announcement followed the first death 
from typhus that has occurred in the city 
since 1892. 
Another death from sleeping sickness 
and 12 new cases were reported to the 
New York Health Department February 
15. The total of cases reported in the 
city since January 1 to ISO. There have 
been 47 deaths. This is a considerable 
increase over the same period last year, 
when there was a mild epidemic of the 
disease. 
An indictment charging Isadore Cohen, 
a customs inspector of 28 Sheppard Ave¬ 
nue. Brooklyn, with soliciting and re¬ 
ceiving money in connection with his of¬ 
ficial duties was returned February 15 by 
the Federal Grand Jury in the United 
States District Court. New York. The 
action of the Grand Jury is the first of 
its kind arising out of the customs scan¬ 
dal which was disclosed recently by By¬ 
ron R. Newton, Collector of the Port of 
New York. Cohen was arraigned before 
Judge W. H. S. Thompson, pleaded not 
guilty to the charges and was released on 
*7,000. The indictment contains four 
counts, each charging the defendant with 
soliciting and receiving money from pas¬ 
sengers. 
Twenty horses were smothered to death 
February 16 and 21 others so badly over¬ 
come that they were not expected to live 
when smoke filled the stable of W. L. 
Byrnes, at 440 East 134th Street. New’ 
York City, which was gutted by flames, 
with an estimated loss of $250,000. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—It keeps 200,- 
000 men working full time to support the 
nation's rat population. That assertion is 
made by the Biological Survey Bureau 
in figures issued February 10. showing 
that there are as many “common brown 
rats” as humans in the United States, 
and each of the 100.000.000 or more de¬ 
stroys $2 worth of foodstuffs a year. 
They also maintain an efficient trans¬ 
portation system for “black death” and 
other plague germs, the bureau adds in 
urging a starve and slay campaign to 
check “a real hazard against American 
lives and property.” In England pet rats 
or mice are now barred. Anybody dis¬ 
covered harboring a rat or mouse in his 
house is liable to a penalty of $25. under 
a law recently enacted by Parliament. 
If the “offence” is continued he may be 
fined $100. The reason w’hy so few pros¬ 
ecutions had yet taken place is because 
the Board of Agriculture is waiting until 
the public has become more familiar with 
the law. 
More than 10.000.000 Puget Sound and 
Chinese eggs .have arrived at Vancouver, 
B. C., from Seattle, Wash., for forward¬ 
ing to New York, Philadelphia, Boston 
and other Eastern points. The Chinese 
eggs, in the shipment about 8.000.000, 
are said to be consigned to confectioners 
and bakers. 
WASHINGTON.—The allowance of 
$5,000 a year to feed the army pigeons 
is not enough, according to Major Gen¬ 
eral George D. Squior, chief of the Army 
Signal Corps, who appealed to the Sen¬ 
ate Military Affairs Committee February 
15 to give his feathered personnel a larger 
appropriation. The general told the com¬ 
mittee that $35,000 should be appropriated 
to keep and train the birds, saying that 
they have become an essential part of the 
Army Air Service. He said that many of 
the birds have heroic war records and 
have achieved distinction since they fig¬ 
ured in the Canadian trip of Lieutenants 
Farrell. Kloor and Hinton. 
Hardship if not disaster would result 
from enforcement of total restriction of 
immigration, says the formal report sub¬ 
mitted February 15 to the Senate with 
the substitute immigration bill w’hich 
would regulate admission on the percent¬ 
age biisis of 5 per cent of aliens now in 
the country. The report was prepared 
by Senator Dillingham (Vt.), former 
chairman of the committee. The report 
admits a tendency toward increased Eu¬ 
ropean immigration, but says that so far 
as it endangers the United States the 
problem will be met by the so-called i>or- 
centage bill during the next 15 months. 
A recommendation is made that perma¬ 
nent immigration regulations be framed 
after the expiration of the present bill, 
which remains in effect, only up to June 
30, 1922. “The situation in agricultural 
sections.” the report says, “so far as com¬ 
mon and agricultural labor is concerned, 
is distinctly bad and means must be 
adopted by which future immigration 
shall, to a certain extent at least, be de¬ 
flected from industrial centers and find 
employment on the land. To study this 
problem and to frame adequate legisla¬ 
tion is important during the present ses¬ 
sion of Congress.” 
An act providing for the drainage of 
lands of the five civilized tribes of Indians 
in Oklahoma was vetoed February 15 by 
President Wilson. He informed Congress 
that it was his judgment that the meas¬ 
ure would reduce the number of safe¬ 
guards thrown around the Indians’ prop¬ 
erty. 
After one of the most spirited debates 
of the session the House late February 
15 passed a resolution of Representative 
Gould (N. Y.), calling on President Wil¬ 
son for an itemized statement of his ex¬ 
penditures under the two national de¬ 
fence funds of $100,000,000 ami $50,000,- 
000 granted to him during the war. 
New England Ayrshire Breeders 
The Ayrshire Cattle Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion of New England has engaged War¬ 
ren F. Berlingame as a field agent and 
salesman. It will be his duty to travel 
about through New England and put the 
Ayrshire cow and her merits before the 
minds of the people. This will mean a 
systematic effort to show the dairymen of 
New England what the Ayrshire cow is 
good for and what she can do as com¬ 
pared with the other dairy breeds. It is 
a good move, and ought to result in great 
benefit to the Ayrshire breeders. For 
many years it was a fair criticism to say 
that the Ayrshire people were too modest 
in presenting the good qualities of their 
cattle to the public. The Ayrshire has 
always been a superior dairy cow. She 
gives a good mess of milk, makes a good 
carcass of beef and has a wonderful abil¬ 
ity to live and make good under conditions 
which would prove too hard for many 
other breeds of cattle. In these modern 
days it is necessary to go out to the 
people and make the quality of your 
goods known, and evidently the Ayrshire 
people are determined to do this very 
thing.
