BAGS "WHAT-IS-IT" Chicken-Slaying Animal Has Head Like Pig and Eyes Like Parrot It has a head like a pig and eyes like n parrot. Its body is colored with thin gray hair and it bus a tail like a squir rel. Its ears arc short nnd to the point. Such is the queer animal caught early this morning in the barn of Kane Walker, ,"17 Knst Hoborough street. Walker is n dealer in exclusive? chickens, such ns appear in poultry shows. During the last few days he lost bevernl line birds. On Friday nigjit he found n prize Wyandotte nnd n rare leghorn fowl-ly murdyred. There wns a deep wound in the neck of each and fthe mark of vicious tooth. Walker set n trap. Karly tlijs morn ing he heard sounds of a battle in the barn yard, followed by a low sepulchral moan. And then he discovered the strange animal of the above charac teristics. For lack of a better nnine Walker has called it a "what is it."

One ilny, six and a half years ago, "Wolf" arrived In Overlirook nt the home of Samuel Humphrey, tk'tfil Over brook avenue, having been purchased by his daughter in France, Ho was then merely n year-old puppy wllh n power ful baritone voice.

Witli MIs Mary Qiilnn. of Hos Ion, she insisted on staying behind bars "with ordinary criminals" pending the preliminary lioarl'ng to be given the Irish pickets Monday before the federal authorities here. "It's n shame," said Miss Obrcnncti. of Dublin, Ireland, one of the directing heads of the pickets, "Hut they are womcu of grent spirit, nnd won't come out. "We pleaded with them not to go to jail, tried to persuade them to ncecpt bond, mid lust night sent n committee of live women to see them nnd nsk thctn to coino nut, but they wouldn't even sec us. They sent out word they wanted to stay in jail. Foolish, Says Dublin Woman "I think It's foolish their first night in tiie House of Detention wns enough but this Is their particular, protest agulust the presence of troops In Ire land." Miss (iiilvin Is said by her com patriots to have been seriously ill. and oji n diet nt the present time. When they found she would not quit jail, they sought permission from the warden to send her special food so her diet might not lie interrupted. This was refused as n violation of regulations. The warden declared the prisoners are well cared for and fed nnd pointed out that tho pickets might lenve whenever they wished, upon furnishing the required bond. Miss Katlierine McKeon, of Philadel phia, arrested with Miss (lalvin and Miss Quinn, gnve bond nnd returned home Inst night to get n change of clothing for tho imprisoned pickets. She snid she would have gone to jail with them but for the necessity ot her trip. No I'khetlng Today After their strenuous performances of the lnt week the pickets spent u reasonably quiet day nt the Lafayette Hotel today. Some of them journeyed to the Capitol to call on senntors and representatives in the cause ot n lib erated Ireland, but picketing wns called off until .Mom lay. Frank P. Wnlsh. who wns duo here today to arrange for the pickets' legal defense, will not reach Washington until tomorrow, it wns announced. The pickets' lenders declared a hall fuud of more than .f.'O.OOO is available for their use nnd snid those arrested will be defended by Walsh and a group of assistants from Now York nnd Wash ington.

Day in nnd day nut. rain or shine, "Wolf" was tit the car to greet him when he alighted and never left his side until ho boarded the trolley with an empty bag. Indirectly, it was "Wolf's" fondness for Postman Foley that caused his un timely end. for, on Thursday, during his peregrinations, the police dog found a hunk of, luscious meat nnd devoured it, Alus, tho meat was poisoned though not probably intended for him and poor "Wolf" was almost immediately in torture. A neighbor who recognized him picked tiie dying dog up and rushed him home iu her car.

Finegnn, state superintendent of public instruction? Doctor FlneRHii Is emnhatlcally In favor of the survey. He Is equally as einphntie in Ills belief that the work should he undertaken by the stnte. It has tho men, the means and the ma chinery. In the brief time, less than n year. Hint Doctor Finegnn has been nt the head of the educntlonnl interests rtf Pennsylvania he hns accomplished note worthy things. He accomplished note worthy tilings before he enme here, when he wns deputy commissioner of educa tion for the state of Now York. One of his most conspicuous achieve ments was a survey of the school system of the city of Huffalo. It was it dif ficult and rather complicated job. It required live months to do the work. Kvery member of the staff of the in spection division, in addition to other members of the department staff at Al buny, wns engaged In It. The task was accomplished in the face of vigorous po litical opposition bended by one of the most powerful political lenders in thnt state. In the end, bnscd on Doctor FineRan's findliiRs nnd recommendations, Huffalo was equipped with an up-to-date school system. Jt took the place of on anti qunted organization run by the Huffalo city Council nnd functioning ns n po litieul power In the hands of a few men. It is n foregone conclusion. I think. Hint the state authorities will perform iIia ini. r -.,. :..:., i i ....... i tern. There nre verv siilistnntinl ns- 1 .sumptions for this belief. Doctor Fine gnn hns n certain clearly defined policy. It is statewide in its application. There must bo co-ordination nnd unity of ac tion in every part of tho commonwealth nnd in every one of its cities. Not to accept the offer of the head of tho educntlonnl interests of the commonwealth would imply lack of confidence In the department and its head. The findings of outside investi gators, who have no permanent interest in the outcome, and whose connection with tho iJchooJ system would end with their examination, might run contrary to the established plans of the State Kducational Department. Servo No Selfish Interests The civil organizations interested in tiie survey serve no special or selfish interests. They nrc actuated by the de sire to have the work done in the most effective manner possible. It is in the public's interest and they desire that tiie public in some fashion have recog nition in the general clean-up. Doctor Fiuegan appreciates 'this fact. At the same time he has very clcur idens as to how results should bo achieved. Philadelphia is the metropo lis of Pennsylvania and the tiiird largest city in the country; it must set the pace for the rest of the state. "In offering to undertake a survey of the public M'hools of Philadelphia I have not been actuated by any selfish motives," said Doctor Finegnn. "I have nn specinl interests to servo. I feel that the state could render no better service to the cause of public education than to make it thorough examluntlon of the school system of the chief city of the commonwealth, point out its tie- EATS JEWEL THEFT CLUE I Ex-Convict, Caught Selling Pearls.

In tills, the second of n short scries of arti cles on the school survey, he explains why the public should be interested nnd why the public should be heard upon the question. ords to he adopted. "The public is directly interested nnd should be heard upon every question raised. Kvery interest should be Riven tho fullest opportunity to find expres sion of Its views.

Hruce Wntson, secretury of the Pub He Kdiicntion and Child Labor Associa tion of Peniisvlvaniii. was euiially pronounced in Ills views concerning Philadelphia's educational future. The outstanding demand in nny survey of Philadelphia's public school systenj was that there should be no strings attached to it. No interests, personal or other wise, should be considered. Mr. Watson pointed out t lint such n survey was not. a new thing. Thus far l.'r) cities nnd towns in this coun try linvc had them.
