England Faced Similar Situation
in Years 1859-62.
British Consul Killed Upon His Own
Balcony and Other Atrocities Per
petrated Great Britain Failed
to Intervene.
Now York. Tho situation which
Great Britain is facing as a result of
tho Bhootlng of William S. Benton in
Mexico, not only Is novel but even al
most unimportant compared to the
events of 1859-G2, says a London dis
patch. A list of outrages committed
during those three years before the
British government joined Franco and
Spain In tho intervention which led to
the seating of Maxlmllllan of Austria
on the Mexican throne, has been
brought forward in part as follows:
Doctor Duval, a British subject, who
was arrested In April 1S59, by the cler
ical general, Marquez, whllo attending
to- wounded Juarlsts after their defeat
at Tacuhaya, was shot without trial.
A British subject named J. L. Inncs
was hunted through the mountains
about Oaxaca with a prico on his head.
British Vice-Consul Bodmer was
shot dead on his own balcony whllo
trying to save a Mexican.
Mr. Beale was shot by bandits on
his farm near Mexico City.
Thero were several othor killings
of British subjects of humbler posi
tion. A Mr. Burnand's factory was twice
plundered and ho was severely wound
ed by the robbers, so that ho lost an
arm; his wifo went mad from the
shock.
Financially, too, British subjects
suffered greatly through these three
yenrs. Claims submitted by British
eubjects to their legations up to April
28, 1861, amounted to $18,000,000 for
such outrages as "forced supplies,"
"stoppage of factory," "plunder, death
and mutilation," "imprisonment and
sentence of death," and simple plun
der. In November, 18G0, tho clerical Gen
eral Miramon seized $660,000 In silver
which had been deposited at tho Brit
ish legation as the property of bond
holders, and a few months later a
Juarlst general seized a convoy of
some hundreds of thousands ot dol
lars' worth of silver bullion belong
ing to British subjects, and on its
way to tho coast. The Juarlst govern
ment also suspended payment of tho
Interest on Its foreign loan, which was
then mainly held in England.
In the face of all thoso outrages,

VALUES BEARD AT $60,000
Novel Suit of Louisiana Lawyer iJp to
Supreme Court of the
United States.
Washington, D. C. What Is ttrb
value of a board? That Is the novel
question which tha Justices of tho Su
preme court havo been asked to de
cide. The caso ts that of A. E. O'Sulllvan,
aged Blxty-flvo, a prominent Louisiana
lawyer who placed a value of $60,000
on a growth of his bear. O'Sulllvan,
who formerly was( district attorney,
state senator and city attorney of Now
Orleans, contends that he was forcibly
deprived of his hirsute adornment on
election day In November, 1908. On
that day, ho asserts, Paul Felix, a Jus
tlco of the peace In tho parish of Jef
ferson, La., and William W. Stiles, a
deputy sheriff, conspired to prevent
Anthony Mngglore, Michael Christina
and a number of others from voting.
O'Sulllvan says ho went to tho polls
to advise about tho conduct of the elec
tion. Ho assarts that a number of
men Imported to tho election place by
Felix seized him and tied his arms to
his side. Then, ho asserts, Stiles
seized his beard and, with a pair of
shears, cut It off. In tho scuffle O'Sul
llvan released ono of his hands, which
was cut on tho scissors.
In consequence of tho ill treatment
and humiliation thus suffered O'Sulll
van brought suit In 1911 for $60,000
damages under tho federal civil rights
act. He waited until his assailants
had been convicted of assault beforo
suing for damages.
Felix and Stiles declare tho suit for
damages was barred by the one-year
Louisiana statuto of limitations. Tho
Louslana courts so hold, but O'Sulll
van has brought tho caso to tho Su
promo court on tho ground that tho
stato statute of limitations has no ap
plication to a suit arising under a fed
eral statute.

"About four grains ot morphine," said Dr. Llchtcnstotn, tho Tombs physician.
So the young woman was soon occupying a cell near her husband.
Tho "morbidity parties" aro a thing ot tho past, too. Those sight-seeing

there aro rumors that certain railroads havo run special excursions that

But Tom was declared out ot order by a city magistrate and sont to tho

But while Tom added to his laurels in tho Tombs his famous $10,000
mahogany bar was going, going, gone for $250.

water leachos freoly, will stand more
Intensive poultry conditions, but moat

Is not aB well adapted to poultry
raising, as such land dooa not drain
'readily and It Is mtfch moro difficult
to keep tho stock healthy, says Farm
ers' bulletin 574, department of agri
culture. Long stationary houses, or tho In
tensive system, saves Bteps, but it Is
oaalor to keep tho birds healthy and
to roproduco the stock under tho col
ony system whero tho birds aro al
lowed freo range. Breeding Btock,
and especially growing chlckous,
should havo nn abundance of range,
while hens used solely for tho pro
duction of market eggs may bo kept
on n very small area with good re
sults. Tho colony house' system neces
sitates placing tho houses, holding
about ono hundred hens, apart two
hundred to two hundred nnd fifty
feet, bo that tho stock will not kill
tho grass. Tho colony system may bo
adapted to sovoro winter conditions
by drawing tho colony Iioubos togeth
er In a convnlent placo at the begin
ning of winter, thus reducing tho la
bor during theso months.
Roof and Front.
Tho roof Is tho most oxpcnslvo but
a moat lmportnnt part of tho poultry
houao, and should bo wntor-tlght.
Shingle roofs should hnva a ono-thlrd
pitch, while thoso covered with paper
or metal may havo a less pitch, or bo
almost flat; however, tho grenter tho
slope tho longor tho Ufo of tho roof.
Tho shod or slnglo-Blopo roof la adapt
od to housos up to sixteen feet In
width. It Is ono of the cnsleBt styles
to construct It allows a high front
to tho houso, nnd furnishes a north
ern Blopo for tho roof on which roofing
papor will last longer than on a roof
which faces tho south.
Tho combination and seml-monltor
roofs aro adapted tor tho buildings
from sixteen to twenty-four feet wide,
while either of these stylos, or Uio
monitor and the gablo roof, may bo
used for wldor buildings. Tho com
bination roof on a houso over slxtoon
foot wido gives tho best head room
at the least cost, reduces the amount
of surplus nlr Bpace, and. gives a neat
uppoarance to tho buildings; whllo
the somt-monltor and monitor typos
aro best for wido houses which havo
a central alloy, particularly brooder
houses.
Tho seml-monltor houso usually
facos south, while tha monitor typo
of roof is frequently used nn build
Irfga facing east or west. Tho gable
roof Is used extensively for two-story
buildings, for brooder houses, and for
Incubator collars. This stylo of roof
is usually celled at or slightly abovo
tho eaves, or tho globo may be filled
with straw or somo kind of absorbent
material, which tends to keep such
housos dry and warm. The A-Bliaped
roof Is used for growing coops nnd
colony houses which, with a wall 18
Inches high, provides a largo amount
of floor space with a minimum amount
of lumber; hut Increases tho roof sur
face, which Is tho most expensive part
of the houao.
A largo amount of glass In tho front
of tho houso makes It warm during
tho day and cold nt night, as glass
radiates heat very rapidly. Unbleached
muslin, or a light weight of duck cloth,
is UBod for eurtniriB In the fronts of
poultry housos. This cloth should bo
thin enough to allow a slow circula
tion of nlf, without a draft, which ob
ject Is defeated by using too heavy a
grado of duck or by oiling or paint
tng tho coth. Tho front of tho houso
should bo high enough bo that tho
wlndowB or openings will allow tho
sun to shlno well back during tho win
ter. .
Floors.
Tho best kind of a floor depends
upon the soil and the use of tho houso.
On light, sandy, well-drained soils a
dirt floor Is satisfactory, especially
for small or colony henhousos. A
board floor 1b generally used where
tho level of tho floor In tho houao Is
from ono to throo feet abovo tho
ground surfaco and In portablo houses
on land which Is not well drained.
Board floors harbor rats and rot quick
ly, and should bo raised somo distance
off tho ground so that rats or dogs
can get under them, which also al
lows a freo circulation of air to pre
vont tho wood from rotting. Cement
floors aro adapted to long perma
nent buildings, brooder houses, incu
bator cellars, and to all permanent
houses whero an artificial floor ts re
quired and can bo built on tho ground
level
Roo6ts and Dropping Boards.
Tho Interior fixtures ot the pens
ihould be simple, portablo' and Inex
pensive. Roosts are usually plated
next to tho end or back walls, six to
ten Inches above the dropping boards,
while the latter aro from two" to two
and one-half feet above the floor. They
should all bo on the same level, other
wise tho birds will crowd and fight to
get on tho highest roost. Scantling:
2 by 4 inches, with the upper edges
rounded off, makes good roosts with
either the ulde or narrow surfaco up.
Allow seven to ton Inches of roost
space por fowl, according to the bIzo
of thol)lrds. Roosts should be placed
about fifteen inches apart, but the out
side onoa may be within ton inches of
tho edge ot tho dropping boards.
Kinds of Material Used for Building.
lIousc3 mado entirely of solid con
crete aro cold nnd damp, but concrete
blocks may be used with good results.
Hollow tlje makes a very good poultry
houso, and It can bo bought In somo
sections at a prlco which compares
favorably, considering Its durability,
with wood. This construction Is well
adapted to Incubator cellars and
brooder housos, or to any buildings re
quiring double walls and good insula
tlon. , ,
All kinds ot wood are used in- build
ing poultry houses, and any durable
lumber which is available for that pur
poso may bo used. The lumber which
Is to bo UBod for Uio outside .construc
tion should bo well seasoned, other
wise tho shrinkage will lcavo cracks
in tho walls. The best Bhingles aro
mado of redwood, cypress and cedar;
nnd whlto plno Is also UBed. Asbes
tos shingles aro quite durable, but
moro expensive than wooden ones.
Whitewash.
Whitewash 1b tho cheapest of all
paints and may be used either for ex
terior or interior surfaces. It can bo
mado by slaking about ton pounds of
quicklime In a pall with two gallons,
