U. S. MISSIONARIES’
LIVES THREATENED
Nicaraguans Stone and Bomb
Home of 3 Protestant
Representatives.
The lives of three American mission
aries, representatives of the Central
American mission at Granada. Nicar
agua, have been threatened and their
residence has been stoned and the
mission bombed.
Dispatches reaching here describe
the situation in Granada as still
serious.
The Central American mission, a
Protestant institution, was established
about four years ago, but only re
cently opened its headquarters in
Granada. The move was opposed at
the time by the Bishop of Granada,
and since then there have been a
series of disorders.
Doors and windows of the residence
occupied by the missionaries were de
stroyed by stones, and meetings held
by them broken up. On July 19, the
mission was attacked and a door was
blown off its hinges by a bomb ex
plosion. None of the missionaries—
two women and one man—was in
jured.
Protection Promised.
Appeals to the Nicaraguan govern
ment authorities at Managua, were
answered with a promise of police
protection.
The State Department lacked any
information concerning an appeal re
ported in Associated Press dispatches
to have been made by the missionaries
to the American Negation at Mana
gua.
It Is supposed that the Minister
will render whatever aid seems nec
essary, but it is believed unlikely that
the outbreak will interfere with plans
to withdraw early in August the guard
of 100 marines on duty in Nicaragua
since 1912.
It has become known that the Nic
araguan government recently had
asked that the marines be left on Nic
araguan soil for the present, but Sec
retary Kellogg replied that the Wash
ington Government already had post
poned the date of withdrawal several
times and could not do so again.
ASKS $5 ? 000 LIMIT TO FEE
OF BONAPARTE ATTORNEY
Counsel for Wife Contends $250
Is Enough for Settlement of
Husband's Suit.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.—A recom
mendation that $5,000 be fixed as at*
torney fee for Leon R. Jacobs, attor
ney for Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte
in the settlement of the latter's suit
against his wife. Blanche Bonaparte,
to set aside an agreement transferring
all of his property ta her, was filed
yesterday In the Supreme Court by
Referee Emanuel B. Cohen. Counsel
for Mrs. Bonaparte contended that
$250 should be enough.
Mr. Bonaparte, a great-grandnephew
of the emperor, alleged in his suit
that while he was ill in a sanitarium
at Beason, N. Y., his wife induced him
to sign an agreement putting all his
property in her hands, reserving but
a small portion of the income for him
self.
After being released from the sani
tarium, Mr. Bonaparte consulted Mr.
Jacobs as to taking legal action to
recover the estate, whiqh he valued
at $500,000. The attorney contended
that he gave Mr. Bonaparte legal ad
vice and went with him to see Mrs.
Bonaparte. Later Mr. Bonaparte in
formed him he was discontinuing the
suit.
The settlement finally agreed upon
provided for the payment of $,‘..000 a
year to Mr. Bonaparte, while his wife
was to receive the remainder of the
income.
Mrs. Bonaparte admitted that the
value of the property was from $400.-
000 to $500,000, with an income of
$20,000. The trustee of the property
in Baltimore, however, said the prin
cipal amounts to only $147,000, with
an additional income accrued of
$13,452.

Strange Superstitions About Snakes
Are Classed as Myths in Survey
Stinging,’Hoop, Coach-Whip, Glass and Many Other
Reptiles of Fable Called Either Non-Exist
ent or Harmless in Biological Report.
After years of long-range supersti
tion, especially among a class of un
learned folk, particularly in the rural
districts of the country where snakes
abound and move around during the
warm Summer months, the United
States Biological Survey has at last
come to the rescue to solve two of the
most persistent and widespread snake
myths that has so long terrified a
class of people in certain sections of
the United States, but especially
among the Indians and negroes of the
Southern and Southwestern States.
The survey takes up the question of
the "stinging and hoop snakes,” of
which tales have long been told that
this species of reptile form themselves
into hoops and roll in pursuit of their
victims with racehorse speed, the tails
of which are furnished with horns. If
the victim dodges and a tree is struck
it is sure to die.
The “stinging snake” myth, accord
ing to the Biological Survey, apparent
ly originated more than 200 years ago,
and is reported to have been first pub
lished in an old report of the lords,
proprietors of the Carolinas. John
Clayton also mentions this myth in a
letter to the Royal Society of London
in 1688. In the first mentioned report
it is asserted that there lived in the
Carolinas a snake whose tall was a
poisoned horn, or spike. This account
refers to the horn, or stinging snake,
which is perfectly harmless. The horn
snake is bluish-black with a few red
bars aeros sthe belly. The tail of this
snake tapers to a fine *'o!nt, having
the appearance of a horn, or spike,
blit is quite incapable of piercing or
stinging anything.
The glass, or jointed, snake is really
a legless lizard. It is said that a
stroke of a stick will cause the body
of this reptile to disjoint, tlie pieces

wriggling off in every direction and
coming together again, if the head
part is not captured. The explanation
of this curious phenomenon lies in the
ability of this reptile to drop its tail,
an tict which sometimes enables it to
escape while the still wriggling tail
attracts the attention of the pursuer.
Short Tail Grows.
Many other lizards do the same
thing, and a spike or short, imperfect
tail grows in place of the lost tail.-
This curious reptile is rarely seen,
as it lives under decaying vegeta
tion and burrows in the soil. It is
sometimes turned up by a plow. It
has long been the subject of discus
sion, and is merely a harmless, leg
less lizard, and because of its food
habits is of considerable value to
agriculture.
The Coach-whip snake is another
species of reptile of which there are
many legendary stories, because of
its -nffrontery when suddenly come
upon in the woods in straightening
up on its tail. It will even follow a
person for some distance after it has
assumed its normal position in crawl
ing on the ground. This snake is a
harmless, cowardly reptile that skulks
away out of sight when pursued.
The Coach-whip snake is a slender,
swift-moving, brownish-black snake
of the Southern and Southwestern
States. 'The tradition is that it will
whip or lash its adversary with its
tail. It fights only when cornered.
Similar superstitious stories prevail
among the ignorant of the South At
lantic, Southern and Southwestern
States, both as to the Coach-whip
and Hoop snakes that they will take
their tails in their mouths, stiffen
their bodies and roil like a hoop, to
let go their tails to sting their vic
tims.
DOUBTS CANCER CAUSE
HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
Chioago pathologist Believes Find
of British Scientists Holds
Little Value.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 25. —Dr. H. Gideon
Wells, professor of pathology in the
University of Chicago, believes that
the studies of cancer made in Kng
iand by Dr. Gye and J. K. Barnard
probably have little bearing on the
problem of human cancer. He does
not think the cause of the disease has
been discovered.
"It is not possible to make any
positive statements concerning the
work of Dr. Gye and Mr. Barnard
until the report of their work has
been published in full,” said Dr.
Wells.
"The newspaper reports indicate
that by the use of ultra-violet mi
crojjhotography, a process which is
not altogether new, they have ob
served articles in extracts from the
diseased tissues of chickens which in
some respects resemble a certain
form of human tumor.
"This is a very different matter
from discovering the cause of cancer,
and according to the newspaper ac
counts, Dr. Gye merely states ‘We
have made a discovery which we be
lieve will enable us to detact the
cause of cancer.’
“In other words, no claim is made
that the cause of cancer has been
discovered, and consequently most of
the accounts are entirely mislead
ing.”

MACMILLAN SNIPS
STARTFINAL LAP
Bowdoin on Way to Etah,
Base of Arctic Ex
plorations.
The Bowdoin, flagship of the
MacMillan expedition, left Godhavn,
Disko Island, Greenland, on the last
leg of her voyage to Etah yesterday
morning at 11 o'clock, according to
radio messages received at the head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society here today.
The Peary, with Gov. Rosendahl
of North Greenland on board, left two
hours earlier, expecting to put in at
Umanak, Greenland, at 7 o’clock this
morning, to take aboard 80 tons of
coal, and by this evening she also ex
pects to be on her way to Etah where
the exploration flying with the United
States Navy planes will begin.
The Bowdoin rejoined the the Peary
at Godhavn, Disko Island, yesterday,
one of the messages stated.
The schooner was met by a kayak
containing oilskin-clad figures shout
ing unintelligible Eskimo. On closer
view these were recognized as two
members of the Peary's crew.
Whooping cough in Godhavn and
all down the Greenland coast prevent
ed the personnel of the ships from
landing.
Second Vicissitude.
The whooping cough is one of the
series of paradoxical difficulties which
have faced an expedition prepared to
brave icebergs and extreme cold, but
taken unawares by a mosquito plague,
several days of warm and humid
weather and curtailment of their shore
privilege by a children's disease.
Gov. Rosendahl, Danish resident ex
ecutive of North Greenland, accom
panied the Peary to Umanak to see
« at i. tfle ship is supplied with 8u tons
of the best Greenland coal. The Na
tional Geographic Society has ex
pressed its thanks to the Danish gov
ernment for the fine co-operation in
the expedition’s work. The tendering
of the coal was especially appreciated,
because of the limited supply avail
able at Godhavn.
1 he Bowdoin and the Peary hove in
sight of each other at a spot which
is historic in Arctic annals—at the
foot of the cliff on which Admiral
J’eary erected the first cairn, in 1886
A few rods away are the last lotting
timbers of the Fox. the Eadv Frank
lin Relief Expedition ship, whose
heavy planking has been made into
numerous souvenir canes and picture
frames.
The messages containing this in
formation were received through ama
teur station 1-MY, operated by Donald
C. S. Comstock, at 1622 Main street,
Hartford. Conn.; by the United States
Navy's station, NKF, at Bellevue, D.
