For many years the American Humane so
ciety has. been at work to secure state and
federal laws that v.111 Insure the more
liumflne handling of live stock enroute to
the markets, and of late has mado several
attempts to secure a law that will compel
the railroads of the country to handlo
trains In which there are ten or more cars
of live stock at an averane speed of not
loss than sixteen miles per" hour. The
Wyoming and other association of wool

as to the best methods to be employd In
eradicating the malady.
The State Hoard of fiheep Commissioners
will meet at the same time, and its mem
bers have invited sheepmen generally from
all parts of the state to attend and make
known their views, so that when orders
ireue In the spring same will embody the
bint to be had, arid will Incorporate the
best methods to be employed In putting Up
and leg ulceration and the sore-mouth mal
ady out of business.
Member of Congress.
Among the prominent speakers who will
attend are Congressman Ralph D. Cole
of Ohio, that Intrepid young member of the
lower houso of coni;ress who successfully
defended the Interests of the American
wool grower In the recent tariff struggle.
Congressman Cole Is now serving his
fourth term In congress, but his able
leadership of the house fight for the re
tention of the wool and woolen duties
won for him the respect and high admira
tion of his colleagues. He la coming west
next month to confer with the Wyoming
wool growers, acquaint them with the
threatened attack on wool and what should
be done to ward off the impending' blow.
He Is an eloquent speaker, and Wyoming
sheepmen who remain at home will miss
a rare treat. Cole has the tariff situation
at his fingers' ends, and It Is expected
his address will be a text book of In
formation for the growers, as well as a
complete refutation of tho charges of east
era manufacturers and others that the
prevent duties on wool cause the high
price of clothing.
Proposed Lease Un,
Tho American National Live Stock asso
ciation In Its call recently announced that
an attempt will be made at the present
session of congress to pass the proposed
louse law, by which the government will
lease oil unoceupldo publlo domain In the
west. The wool growers have In the past
strongly opposed this measure. Indeed,
thilr opposition prevented the bill becom
ing a lav on more than one occasion. This
Mibjict will be dlscusffd at great length
ut the Cheyenne meeting of the Wyom'ng
Wool Growers' association and somo of
the best-posted men on land laws and west
ern conditions will lead the debates.
Governor Bryant 1J. I.: rooks will deliver
an address on "Land Lawn," and there Is
a possibility that Congressman Frank W.
Mondell will also be present. Congress. nan
Mor.dtll Is an expert on federal land laws,
telnK head of the reat lands commlttoe
of the lower house, and his presence at the
Cheyonno meeting would be helpful In the
extreme.
McKay Presents
No Defense
Man Accused of Murder at Neligh Sits
Stolidly Through Preliminary
Examination.
NELICII. Neb., Pec. 18. CSpeclal.)-No
defense was presented today in the pre
liminary examination of Joseph McKay,
cha:ped with the murder of A. G. Brown
of Brunswick. The prisoner remained un
moved throughout the ordeal and presented
the appearance of merely an ordinary
spectator. The evidence Introduced by the
state showed that smoke was seen Issuing
from the chimney of Brown's hcuse at
about 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. The
prisoner was seen there at very nearly the
same time, and on. Wednesday volunteored
the Ir formation that ho was there at the
time to feed a hog and rapped at Brown's
door, but received m response.
Soon after leaving the premises McKay
t-topped and talked with two men, at a
stable not more than half a block from
the scene of the crime. Ths conversation
was of an ordinary character and MoKay
fchowed no agitation, but was Salf-possiBed
and appeared as usual. After the prisoner
war. lodged In 'Jail an examination of hli
clc thing was made and apparently Blood
stalnn were discovered on the sleeve and
front of his shirt.
After Brown's death McKay changed his
clothes, and those he usually wore have
not been found. The state In Its argument
Intimated there was other evidence In re
serve,, but that the ends of Justice would
rot be furthered bw the presentation of
more than enough of Its case to warrant
lincMng over the prisoner to the next term
of court without ball. This was done and
the prisoner la now confined lrt' ijall.' The
trial will probably take place in January
or at least the regular term of the district
court will be held about that time.
Oleson Spies

Unpleasant Outcome of Lonely Kanch

on Party Line.
CODY, Wyo., Deo. 18. (Special Tele
gram.) Local surgeons spent the afternoon
digging the lead out of M. J. Dillon which
was left there by J. Oleson last evening.
Mr. Dillon, sitting alone In his ranch house
on lower Sage creek, heard the telephone
bell tinkle. Being lonesome, he thought
he would "rubber" and learn what the
neighbors were talking about. He heard
the fallowing conversation: "Did you see
Mike Dillon co by?" "Yes." "Was he
drunk?" "I guess so; he was riding like
the devil." The statement being untrue
Aft-. Dillon naturally resented it Taking
hie six-shooter, he went to call on Mr.
Oleson, who saw him first, with the result
that Dillon Is now reposing In the hospital
with a shattered right leg.

Some Things You Want to Know
Landing of
Wherever there lives a descendant of
that brave little party of Pilgrims who
btaved the perils of an ocean voyage In a
tiny craft and faced the dangers of a
primeval country In order that they might
worship God In their own way, next
Wednesday, December 22, will be celebrated
tho IsSth anniversary of the arrival at
Plymouth Rock. Perhaps no little boatload
of people in the history of the world has
accomplished more, or contributed moro
to civilization than those Pilgrims. Cer
tainly the recrods of no such small band
of people have been better or more care
fully kept, and the fact that millions, per
haps, claim to trace their ancestry to 'he
passengers of the Mayflower bears elo
quent witness to the honor the world be
stows upon the little band of devout re
ligionists. a
Someone has had the patience to keep a
running account of the furniture and other
equipment which it la claimed came over
in the Mayflower, and he calculates that
It would fill the holds of the Maureta lla
and the Lusitanla, with a good-sized cargo
left over.' And yet the Mayflower was a
boat of only 1W tons burden. So wide
spread were the claims of parentage
through the Mayflower passengers that the
General Society of Mayflower Descend
ants was organized In 1834, for the princi
pal purpose of separating the true jfrom
the false among those who claim that they
had descended from some passenger of the
Mayflower. That many false claims are
made la well known, but there are thous
ands who can trace their ancestry through
an unbroken line of eight or ten genera
tions back to th Mayflower Pilgrims.
The society has done much toward check
ing the innumerable claims to Mayflower
deiicent. The person who desires to become
a member of that organization, If he has
any ground for his claim. Is given every
opportunity to prove his lineage, and If
he succeeds, all 1b well; If he does not,
there is probably no color at all to his
pretensions, as the records possessed by
the society enables this matter to be de
termined with a high degree of accuracy.
One of the most Interesting things shown
by the records of the Society of Mayflower
Descendants Is how generations of differ
ent families may fall to keep step with
ono another. In these records one may see
as contemporaries of the same age, one
person seventh from Elder Brewster, and
another person tenth from the same Elder
Brewster. It is probable that the majority
of the present Mayflower descendants, so
far as membership In the society Is con
cerned, arc of the eighth generation from
the original Pilgrims, and that their chil
dren represent tho ninth generation. Count
ing the average as the ninth it will be
found that the average generation since the
Mayflower is slightly over thirty-two
years.
Tho General Society of Mayflower De
scendants Is modelled after the plan of the
United States government. State societies
may be organized wherever there are
enough members to Justify it. They have
the privilege of enacting any rules or laws
which do not conflict with those of the
general society. They are represented In
the activities of the general organization
in proportion to their membership, and in
general bear the same relation to the gen
eral society that the states bear toward
the federal government.
One of the prominent Mayflower descend
ants says that the Pilgrims were fortunate
in their historians; that they not only made
history, but wrote It themselves, in order
that It might pass down to posterity in
proper form. To this he attributes the
advantage they ha a in history over the
Dutch. The settlers of New York did
things Just as well as those at Plymouth
Rock, but they were men .of silence, little
etc earned, about the perpetuation of their
deeds In historical annals.
It ! recorded that the first use of the
written ballot In America was in IiS,
when the Puritans of Salem organized
themselves Into a Separatist church, and
elected their officers by ballot. Another
interesting feature about the organization
of this church is the fact that Its whole
creed was told In a single sentence. "We
covenant with the Lord, and with one
another, and do bind ourselves in the pres
et noe of God, to walk together In all His
ways, according as He is pleased to re
veal Himself unto us in His blessed word
of truth."
The most far-reaching result of the Pil
grims' work was the town meeting in-
st'tuted by them a typical pure democracy.
From the town meeting grew the consti
tution of the State of Connecticut, which
was written in the study of Parson Thomas
Hooker. It Is claimed that from this in
strument came the germinal ideas of the
Constitution of the United States. Virginia

WHITE SLAVER CONVICTED

also had a representative form of govern
ment In Its House of liurgesses.
Fourteen states and the District of
Columbia now have state associations of
Mayflower dercendants, and their total
membership Is well up Into the thousands.
It has been calculated that If In each gen
eration there were three children to marry,
and each of these in turn have three to
marry, tha tenth generation might number
about 4.&00.000. In other words, one-sixteenth
of the native born population of the
United States might trace at least one
strain of blool back to the Mayflower.
Each person has 1.02 ancestors of the
tenth generation, unless there has been
Intermarriage somewhere along the line.
It follows, therefore, that every person
whose ancestry Is of native stock, stands
a good show of having somewhere touched
the Ma) flower passenger list. Further
more, each Individual who traces his an
cestry back ten generations will find that,
barring Intermarriage, he has 1.040 ances
tors in the ten generations. If any ono
of these has been a Mayflower passenger
or the descendant of one, the individual
becomes eligible as a Mayflower descend
ant. John Alden has as many as 000 descend
ants who are members of the society, while
not a member of the IUchard More family
had applied for membership at the time of
the publication of the last souvenir volume
of the society. Perhaps a score of the
passengers have not over fifty descendants
In the society. William Urester and Wil
liam Mulllns heve many descendants on
the rolls of the noclcty, and after them
come the descendants of John Howland,
William Bradford, John Tilley and Richard
Warren. From these men have sprung
many of the notables of New England and
other sections of the country.
One of the objects of the society Is the
gathering and publication and preservation
of additional data about the Mayflower
passengers, their history before coming to
America, and their lives after settling at
Plymouth. Each member takes a deep
pride in searching out some new fact per
taining to the Pilgrims, and It has stimu
lated Investigations In Europe and America
to a wonderful ut-fciie. At the triennial
congresses of the general society these
things are much , talked about, and made
matters of permanent record. There Is
also a periodical published several times a
year, which gives a list of all the ac
tivities of the various state societies, the
new members admitted, the new facts dis
covered, etc. While It may be dry reading
to the outsider It Is a publication of In
tense Interest to the Mayflower descendant.
It has run through eleven volumes, and
these are carefully treasured by members
of the society.
The determination of the Pilgrims to
make their history-affecting voyage to Ply
mouth Rock was largely a matter of
chance. An Independent church, composed
mainly of simple country folk, was formed
In 1606 In Scrooby, Notlnghamshlre. . At Its
head was John Koblnson, the pastor, of
whom It was said that It was hard to Judge
which was the more delighted; he in hav
ing such a people, or they in having such
a pastor. William Brewster, who was
postmaster at Scrooby, was a member, and
go was William Bradford, afterward gov
ernor of the colony at Plymouth, and the
historian of the Pilgrims. '
Persecutions at the hands of the king's
officers, followed f he , organization of the
church. One attempt to flee was frus
trated, but after asecond attempt, they
were able to get o. Holland, where they
settled at Lsyden in 1C09. For eleven years
they prospered, and their number was in
creased to 1,000 souls. But their surround
ings were not congenial, and the question
of moving to America came up. The cas
ualties of the seas the. length of the
voyage, the miseries of the land, the cru
elty of the savages, the expense of the
outfit, the 111 success of other colonies, and
their own sad experience were reasons
urged against going to America. But the
advocates of the venture prevailed, and
having decided to go somewhere, where
should it be? ' .
Some favored Guiana, "whose rich feet
were mines of gold and whose forehead
knocked against the roof of the stars."
Others favored Virginia; and In due time
"Virginia" was decided upon. The proceed
ings that finally ended In the chartering
of the Speedwell and afterward the May
flower were undertaken and after many
adventures, financial, religious, sea-faring
of every kind, December 22, 1G20, saw
them landed on "Virginia" soil that turned
out to be Massachusetts.

MRS. MARTIN IS HYSTERICAL
Woman Charg-ed with Snead Murder
Creates Scene in Court.
HEAEDTG GOES OVER TO MONDAY
Mrs. Mnrtln Den lee Any Connection
with Sister, Mrs. Snrad, nnd ays
She Una .Not Seen Her
for Years.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19-Mrs. Caroline W.
Martin astonished the court yesterday by
her denial of ony connection save that of
blood, with her sister, Mrs. Mary Snrad.
Both women were brought before a police
magistrate to answer whether or not they
would fight extradition to New Jersey,
where with a third sister, Virginia Ward
law, they are ail charged with the murder
of i Ocey i'nead, Mrs. J Martin's daughter.
A further hearing will be held on Monday.
Tho sisters stood slda by side heavily
veiled as always, and robed In fold on
fold of black. Sister Mary was mute, but
Sister Caroline showed herself the fighter
of the family.
"I had not seen this woman." she said,
"for a long time until she came to the
Tombs. I knew little of her. We have
nothing to do with each other. Our af
fairs are entirely separate."
Squat, broad and almost shapeless, she
planted herself In stollij opposition to the
court and the detectives, fighting for time
and public sympathy. When she lifted her
veil a face was disclosed, as brown as a
walnut shell and so wrinkled that the
eyes were almost hidden.
Mrs. Mnrtln Questions Law.
The court allowed Mrs. Martin consid
erable latitude at first. Mrs. Martin
seemed determined that her sister should
not be dragged into tho case.
When Magistrate Cornell announced that
he would have to hold both the women,
trouble began.
"I understand," said the court, "that the
grand jury will Bit next Tuesday and you
rrobably will be Indicted."
Mrs. Martin began to question the regu
larity of the proceedings. Hhe wanted to
know under what section of the code the
hearing was held. Sho was Informed and
was led from the bridge.
Then she coliupsed. ftlie protested that
she did not want to go back to the Tombs
and resisted the officers who tried to lead
her from the court room. Crying out hys
terically, sobbing and protesting, she was
taken out of the room and back to prison.
An East Orange newsboy whom detec
tives had brought here today, Identified
Mrs. Martin as a woman whose handbag
he said he had carried for her in East
Orange, not far from the scene . of the
tragedy, on November 29.
Prosecutor Mott said he regarded as sig
nificant tho discovery that Mrs. Martin
had visited Fletcher Snead, the long
missing husband of Ocey Snead, during the
latter's voluntary exile lu St. Catherines,
Ontario.
Up to the time Snead's 'whereabouts be
came known all the members of the fam
ily had asserted, to the best of their be
lief, he was dead.
Evidence Said to Be Strong;.
The prisoners both manifestly dreaded
the ordeal. It was known that recent
revelations have convinced Prosecutor Mott
of Essex county, where Ooey Snead, the
young victim of the tragedy, met her death,
that he will have no difficulty in securing
their extradition.
This evidence Is largely that which the
prosecutor has unearthed In the tin boxes
which Mrs. Martin left with the clerk In
the Hotel Bayard, where she was arrested.
Every document, the prosecutor insists,
strengthens his conviction that Mrs. Snead
was not a suicide.
He lays stress on the fact that not one
of the letters supposedly in Oeey Snead's
handwriting found among Mrs. Martin's
effects hud been mailed. All are written
on fresh notepaper and apparently had
been little handled. Mr. Mott declares
careful comparison has satisfied him that
If the note found with the clothing of the
bathtub victim was In her handwriting
these letters were not.
Convicted Clerk s
Expected to Tell
Hope of Clemency May Open Mouths
of the Sugar Dock
Weighers.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19. Oliver Spitxer, the
Williamsburg dock superintendent, and the
four checkers, found guilty last night of
conspiracy to defraud the government by
urderwelghlng sugar Imported by the
American Sugar Refining company, weie
not sentenced today. Instead the criminal
branch of tho United States circuit court
allowed them freedom under ball until
Januury 8, when they will present argu
ments for a new trial.
tSpiizer's ball was raised from $.,000 to
(IOajU, and that of too others was con
tinued at $2,600.
It Is believed the federal attorneys wel
come the stay in sentence, because they
hope that some of the Indicted men might
give them valuable information on the
chance of thus lightening their punishment.
1 atiick Ilennissey, a white-haired veteran
of the weighing desks and one of the con
victed men, talked earnestly In court today

They are perfect, red-ripe,

gestible core-fibre using only the clear rich
juice. And every can is sterilized after scaling,
so that it opens as fresh and sijicy as Ihe day
it va9 made.
There's nothing to compare with it. Insist
on Campbell's. Any good grocer will supply
yon with Campbell's Soups. And if not satis
