The offer, he said, was made by Harry McCauley, whom he described as connected with the United States In- ternal Reyenue Department. Shortly before Birdsall took the stand, John R. Coen, Republican State chairman, testified that to his knowl- edge Public Service Co., which his firm nted in Logan County at a $250 & year retainer, had not interested itself in the Colorado_elections.

(Special) —Per- mission has been granted by Miss Beatrice Lacey of Bournemouth, Eng- land, for the publication of the diary of her brother, the late Howard Lacey, who for more than 40 years was & prominent ranchman of the Kerrville section, Mr. Lacey won international distinction in scientific circles for his studies of bird and insect lift in South- west Texas. His work won recognition by the Smithsonian Institution and various other scientific bodies. Mr. Lacey came to the hilly and re- mote region of Southwest Texas in the early '80s and purchased a large trac of land, which he stocked with cattle. He was a graduate of Cains College, Cambridge, but he quickly fell into the spirit of the frontier and made iriends with ranchmen for many miles around. From the time he located in this sec- tion he began a study of the wild life. From day to day he recorded his ob- servations and discoveries. It is this diary that is to be published soon under the auspices of the Witte Museum of San Antonio, His research work dealt particularly with migratory birds. He was & member of scientific societies in England and America, and collaborated with scientists of the Smithsonian In- stitution in Washington. The Lacey collection of butterflies and moths, now in the custody of the Witte Museum, is said to be one of the most complete in existence. Some of the valuable work which Lacey contributed to the world of science will be revealed for the first time when the diary is published. Loses $20 to Pickpocket. James E.

Blood transfusion, now a common | means of saving the lives of persons| weakened by loss of blood or anemia, was made possible by his discovery that there are four major types of human blood. Sufferers frum Infantile paralysis have been alded by Dr. Landsteiner’s experiments with monkeys. He was the obel first to find that these animals could be | | infected with the disegse. This led to the overy that the serum of infantile paralysis convales- cents might be used as a protective or checking agency in patients who had the disease in its incipient stages. Dr. Landsteiner has been studying the human blood for 30 years. His discov- ;‘. erles have ranged from a clue to the causes of immunity against disease to enabling poiice detectives to identity bloodstains.

By the Associated Press. LYONS, France, November 14.— Three workmen were injured today by falling masonry as they labored on Fourviere Hill in an effort to dig out the bodies of scores of persons buried under the debris of an overwhelming ‘andslide early yesterday morning. The authorities decided to use dyna- mite to demolish the shaky walls of buildings still standing in the zone and menacing the rescue work. A wide area about the section has been evacuated in fear of further land- slides. ‘The space under the great dome of the Hospital Hotel Dieu has been trans- formed into a mortuary chapel to re- ceive the bodies as they are recovered. Only five bodies thus far have been re- covered, but it is known that between enl-na 100 persons are buried under the ruins. Engineers mounting Fourvieres Hill this morning found crevasses there widening at an alarming rate. New cracks were discovered also, in the ground above the big hospital, which ap- lvtll’ed to be in danger of imminent col- apse. Expect Christmas Tree Plantations in Near Future. DURHAM, N. H.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ISTANBUL, November 14.—“Beating came out of Paradise,” relates a Turkish proverb, but the republic of today denles that it ever was the fruit of a Paradise tree. Correction by blows is forbidden in all the schools and recently a teach- er was arrested for thrashing one of his puplils. Under the Ottoman Empire no school was a school unless it was equipped with the “long stick” and the “short stick.” These stood on the teacher's platform and in a prominent corner of the school room. When a new pupil came to school, he made the ac- quaintance of both while lea: his letters and making friends. Whenever a student, far away from the teacher, misbehaved, down came the long stick on his shoulder or whatever place the teacher chose to chastise. The nearer puplls recelved the short stick with equal vigor. And if the student persisted in irritating the teacher, he was called to the platform, held down by the teacher’s helper, while the former ad- ministered with force 40 or more lashes on the soles of the feet. The rest of the class lat chorus to the un- fortunate ¢! howlings. Beating kad been for long the only method of correction in Turkey. parents beat their children, the master his servant, the officer his soldier.
