Warden Lincoln Makes Recom
mendations in Biennial Report
FAVORS REVISING SEINE LAW
Would Prohibit More Than Two
Hooks on a Trot Line and Make
It Unlawful for Children to
Carry Firearms.
H-
Des Moines, Oct. 18.—In his bien
nial report to Governor Carroll
George A. Lincoln, state fish and
game warden, makes several recom
mendations for changes In the fish
and game laws of the state. Those
recommendations are as follows:
A law making the possession of .u
seine unlawful a law prohibitlns
the use of over two hooks on a trot
line a law defining game birds and
declaring the ownership of them to
be in the state a law forbidding the
use of ferrets in hunting game
law making it unlawful to take or
offer for sale black bass under eight
inches long striped bass under eight
inches long blue or channel cat un*
der ten inches long, pike, pickerel
or perch under ten inches long, and
croppies under six inches long, and
a law making it a misdemeanor for
children under 17 years of age to car
ry firearms on the public domain. All
these laws are asked for in the in
terest of game and fish preservation.
Warden Lincoln also declares against
the establishment of state game pre
serves and says that private
game
preserves are un-Amcrican and
re
minders of feudal days in Europe.
His report shows that he prosecut
ed 449 cases, getting ?iO,G17.22 in
fines, 3S jail sentences and 35 acquit
tals. He destroyed 112 seines, 261
hoop nets, 250 trot lines, 101 traps,
167 dip nets, 3S spears and 7 boats,
the total value of which was J6.000.
He has put out 6,250 eggs of ring
neck plu.iisants to 17S applicants in
82 counties. He believes this to
be
the proper method-of propagation of
these game birds.
Two men, lie says, made $12,400 oft
of German carp taken from the Mis
sissippi river. One man caught 60,
000 pounds, for which he received $2,

MANY 0EFECT3 ARE CURABLE. I
King's Daughters want State Home
for Physically Defective Children
Des Moines Oct. 18.—To establish
In Iowa a state home for crippled
children will be one of the purposes
this year of the Iowa branch of the
international order of King's Daugh
ters, which closed its sessions at
the Central Presbyterian church.
At the meeting of the Mary Lowe
Dickinson chapter, an auxiliary of
the Iowa order, held for the purpose
of furthering the work of caring for
tne sick it was decided to take up
the project of securing through legis
lative enactment the establishment
of this home for physically defective
children of the poor. The state con
vention at Its session indorsed the
movement and voted to cooperate
with the chapter members.
Dr. Jennie McCowen, head of the
medical work for the Iowa order, in
her appeal stated that much of the
physical defects could be overcome
in childhood. According to Dr. Mc
Cowen hare-lip, hunch back and hip
joint defects could be remedied in
the children of the poor of the state
if there were a state hospital for the
direct care of such afflicted children.
"The state provides and well equips
hospitals for the mental defectives,
the deaf and dumb and schools of cor
rection for incorrigibles, but there is
DO place where a poor child can go
and b.e cured of deformed physical
tendencies," said Dr. McCowen.
Mrs. F. J. Mansfield, the present
presiding officer of the Iowa order,
was reelected secretary. The office
of secretary is the highest in the
s'ate order. Her associating officers
are: Mrs. E. N. Coleman of Daven
port, as recording secretary Miss
Lola Waite of Burlington as treasur
er, and Miss Emma Quackenbush of

FROM OCEAN OF DARING
BALLOON VOYAGERS.
CRFM RESCUED BY STEAMER
Abandons the Airship and the Un
successful Flight in Diri
gible Airship
"America."
New York, Oct. 19.—A wireless mes
sage from Captain Dowd of the Royal
moil steamer Trent says the Trent
picked up Walter Wellman and the
crew of the balloon America at 5 a. m.
Tuesday. The airship had been aban
doned. The rescue was made in lati
tude 35.18, longitude 68.13.
Crew and Cat Saved, Balloon Lost.
The position reported by Captain
Dowd Indicates that Wellmnn and his
Walter Wellmaiw
crew were picked up at a point about
150 miles due east of Cape Hatteras on
the North Carolina coast.
The course taken by the airship up
to the time of its wreck shows to what
an extent it was the prey of wind and
weather. Sunday morning it was 300
miles northeast of Atlantic City. Mon
day it must have encountered strong
winds from the northward, as it was
driven 300 miles southward, finally
bringing up cast of the North Carolina
coast.
The total distance covered by the
balloon, while under control and drift
ing a prey to the winds appears to
have been approximately 850 miles.
The wireless message received from
Commander Dowd read as follows:
The Story by Wireless.
On board Steamship Trent at sea,
Oct. 19.—"We sighted the airship
America at 5 a. m., Tuesday. She sig
nalled us by the Morse code, and the
wireless played a wonderful part in
requesting me to stand by her till day
light. We kept a boat close by her
till dawn broke when she signalled
that she could not launch her lifeboat,
and asked me to keep close, in order
that a line might be attached.
"We made several futile attempts to
attach a line, then the America wire
lessed that she would come down to
the water as soon as possible and
drop her boat if
I
pick the boat up.
could stand by and
Lifeboats Keep Close.
"Meanwhile our lifeboats kept close
to the airship as possible and finally
she got all her men in her boat and
cut adrift at a height of about five feet
from the water.
"This proved successful. The Ameri
ca immediately rose in the air and
shortly afterward, at 8 o'clock, I had
the pleasure of welcoming on board
Mr. Wellman and his five lieutenants
and a cat which seemed little the
worse for its air experiences.
I
then
picked up the boat and proceeded.
Balloon Crew Are Guests.
"Wellman and his crew are honored
guests on board. After a wash and a
brush up they ate a hearty breakfast.
The America was abandoned in lati
tude 35.18 north, longitude 68.13 west,
408 miles from Sandy Hook, and the
craft is now having a great time
among the clouds.
"The America was making a speed
of about eight knots when abandoned
and when released drifted to the vest
ward. Her motor had been broken and
Wellman was out of his course. All
hands were mighty, glad of twjing res
cued.

JULIA WA HOWE IS DEAD
CREATOR OF "BATTLE HYMN OF
THE REPUBLIC" PASSES AWAY.
Was Ninety-One Years of Age and Waa
Always Active in Every Noble
Effort.
Middletown, R. I., Oct. 18. —Julia
Ward Howe is dead. Bowed under
the weight of her 91 years, the noted
philanthropist and author succumbed
to an attack of pneumonia. The end
came peacefully in her summer home
here. Her three daughters were at
the bedside, but her son was absent.
The funeral will be held at the Church
of the Disciples, Unitarian, in Boston,
Thursday.
Those who knew her intimately said
that Mrs. Howe's unfailing optimism
was the greatest source and support of
her manifold activities. Born in a
cultured home in New York City and
educated with care, she showed early
a remarkable avidity for study and
superior literary tastes.
She was Dut 22 years of age when
she came to Boston, and met Dr. Sam
uel Gridley Howe, the great philan
thropist, and two years later they
were married. From that time until
Dr.
Howe's death in 1876 this remark
able couple showed a never-tiring co
partnership of activity in all things
making for the uplift of mankind.
After her husband's death, Mrs.
Howe continued her work for many a
worthy cause. She had shared her
husband's labors for the Greeks in
their struggle for independence she
had assisted him in his anti-slavery
work and fired the nation with her
"Battle Hymn of the Republic she
had joined heartily in the crusade for
woman suffrage then in the last year
of her life by participating in a pub
lic hearing at the State House and
urging that action be taken to insure
pure milk for infants.
Although perhaps best known on her
literary side as the author of the "Bat
tle Hymn of the Republic," Mrs. Howe
was the author of many other poems,
of which she had published several
volumes, and of many prose works.
She was one of the most prolific con
tributors to the Woman's Journal, the
woman suffrage publication, of which
she was a founder.
Mrs, Howe/leaves four children, Mrs.
Florence Howe Hall, a prominent wo
man suffrage worker Mrs. Laura E.
Richards, an author Mrs. Maude
Howe Elliott, wife of John Elliott, the
artist, and Henry Marion Howe, pro
fessor of metallurgy at Columbia Uni
versity.
FRENCH R. R. STRIKE ENDS.

Effective.
Paris, Oct. 18—The strike commit
tee of the railroaders union formally
called off the strike of the railroad
employes which has extended over sev
eral of the most important systems

The collapse of the Strike was
primarily due to the stringent meas
ures taken by Premier Briand, who
M. Briand.
called to the colors the majority ol
the strikers, thus compelling them to
do service as reservists. The premier
also placed under arrest many of the
strike leaders and used the military
force without restraint for the protec
tion of life and property. After hav
ing broken the back of the strike
M. Briand successfully arranged a
practical settlement, whereby the chief
demands of the men were met.

INRUSHING SEA WATER SPREADS
OVER BUSINESS CENTER OF

Peril is Growing Hourly—Thu«
Far There Is No Loss of
Life.
St. Augustine, Oct. 19.—The entire
business section of St. Augustine is
flooded with inrusihng sea water, while
the wind and wavue are still rising,
with no indication of when their limit
will be reached.
The water is pouring over the sea
wall from the highest storm tide in
eighteen years. So far there has been
no loss of life.
Scores of persons were driven from
their homes by the rising tide. Sev
eral hotels on the water front were
flooded in their lower floors. Two
launches were sunk in the bay, but
no lives were lost. The electric pow
er plant was forced to shut down.
Other Florida Cities Endangered.

indicating that the center of the storm
Is somewhere off the middle peninsula.
No loss of life has been reported
here. The strong northwest winds
last night have caused tides on the
east coast higher than ever before in
years.
The last message from the Key West
Western Union office was that water
was beginning to pour into the build

South Florida is down, it is impos
sible to ascertain the damage to prop

the damage to the fruit trees of the

dollars.
FACT SEES OUR NEW CITIZENS
MR. TAFT VISITS ELLIS ISLAND
IMMIGRANTS.
Aide Welsh Miner With Motherless
Children—Gets Ideas On
Immigration.
New York, Oct. 19.—President Taft
had his first view of that wonderful
piece of machinery on Ellis island,
where the aliens of many countries
undergo their first gruelling on the
road to American citizenship. He
spent five hours in the one place in the
United States where the rights of
human liberty temporarily are sus
pended by executive action alone,
wiiile the work of separating the mod
erately good immigrants from the
wholly bad goes on day after day.
The human interest side of the work
at the big immigrant station appealed
to the president keenly. He saw the
process of handling the aliens from
the moment of landing, through their
wide-eyed wondering and docile com
pliance with all of the rigid rules
or mental and physical examination
and segregation up to the moment of
flnal discharge, when, with tear-stream
Ing eyes, they rushed into the arms
of waiting friends or relatives.
It was this last phase of the work
which struck the president most deep
ly. With nerves strung to the break
ing point over the detention, the
strange surroundings and the doubt
as to final admission, most of the wo
men among the new arrivals gave way
completely to their emotions as they
were released from the wire cages
which greet the eye on every side.
President Aids Miner.
Mr. Taft proved a lenient Judge and
It was indeed a happy fate which
brought nearly a score of rejected im
migrants to the bar for flnal decision
on the day of the president's visit.
The most interesting of all the cases
that came up for appeal was that of a
Welsh miner and his family of seven
motherless children. The president
personally directed that the family be
admitted. He said that if he was at
all a judge of human nature the seven
children would grow into the best type
af citizens. As a result of his studies
ind observations, Mr. Taft reached a
pretty definite conclusion on three
points:
First—He believes that a strong ef
fort should be made to distribute the
influx of foreigners.
Second—He believes that heavier
penalties should be exacted of the
steamship companies for infractions of
the immigration rules.
Third—He believes that all male im
migrants should be put through a thor
ough examination as to the condition
3f families left behind in Europe.
Mr. Taft was urged to use his influ
ence in getting an appropriation from
congress which would practically
double the facilities at Ellis island.
This he will decline to do. He holds
that if the Ellis island facilities were
doubled, it would simply mean a furth
er inducement to the steamship com
panies to concentrate their immigrant
traffic In this city.
