PAGE TWO THE CITIZB. TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1913. WINNING A HIGH JUMP. Psychological Aspects of Ono of Our Victories at Stockholm. America's victory in the high Jump at Stockholm was especially Interesting because of Its psychology. As James B Sullivan tells tho story in Outing, the stars of tho American team one by ono dropped out until, when the bar was moved to a height of sis feet four inches, only Richards, n youth from Utah, and I.icscho of Germany were left. The German had cleared the bar on his flrst effort every time and looked to be tho winner. At this stage Itlchards had the flrst jump. Everybody thought he would take a grout deal of time and care, as ho had been compelled to make two or three tries before succeeding nt every preceding height. To everybody's sur prise "he disdained all preparation, skipped up to tho bar with an easy run and hopped over It with a full two inches to spare." ; Instantly IJcscho became Intensely 1 excited. Ho made his preparations I nervously, went up to tho bar and missed. A second time he trlsd and missed again. Itlchards. however, In common with every body else, expected him to get over on his third attempt ' and was running about to keep his legs ' supple. Just nn tho German was ready for his final effort a pistol was fired for tho start of a race. This so disconcerted ( him that he waited until the race was over. Then he got ready again. This time the band began to play, and once more he refused to Jump. After nine minutes of this series of delays ono of the Swedish officials stepped up and asked him to hurry. This was tho last straw. In another minute Llcscho ran at the bar and made n botch of his only remaining try. WOULD COLONIZE WEST WTH POOR Former Idaho State Senator on Great Project, TO DRAW FROM TENEMENTS AVIATOR'S SICKNESS. Sensations That Come With Flights Into High Altitudes. Mountain climbers arc subject to what Is called "tho mountain sick ness," duo to the rarefaction of the air nnd the muscular work done by climb ers. Then there is the balloon disease, with analogous symptoms, but which does not appear oxcept at very high altitudes. Newer than either of these is aero plane or aviator's sickness. Its effects are duo to tho rapidity with which tho maximum height Is reached and tho still greater speed at tho descent, In volving the passing from a low air pressure to a higher one. Aeroplanes' sometimes reach altitudes of 10,000 feet In nn hour, nnd hore tho effects on tho ear, such as humming or crack ing noise, are about the same as In a balloon, but tho effect on tho respitra tory organs Is different The pilot Is sooner out of breath and ho feels a special kind of uneasiness. During tho descent the heart beats are of greater amplitude but without accelerating. A quick descent In a sailing flight at a speed of 1,000 or 1,200 foot a minute or even more since Morano descended at Ilavro from 8,000 feet in six mlnntos causes a feel ing of a special kind or uneasiness, ac companied with humming In tho ears. Burning In the face is also felt and a severe headache; also great tendency to sleep. Tho movements of tho body are sluggish and unskillful. These symptoms continue for some time after the landlug, and the tension In the arteries Is noticed to bo higher than tho normal. Chicago News. Tho Highest Railway. For thlrty-nlno years tho highest rail way in tho world was tho Oroya lino in Peru, which at ono place reaches an nl. titude of 4,834 meters above sea level. Passengers who wish to avoid the risk of mountain sickness in its most ag gravated form have to make two or three stops of a day or two on tho way up. Since July this lino has taken sec ond place, as the new Bolivian railway which connects Potosl with Rio Mulatl reaches an altitude of 4,880 meters. It is not considered likely that this rec ord will ever be surpassed unlcs3 Tibet is opened to civilization. Ho Waited Until Tomorrow. Kansas City furnished the other day ono of "life's Httlo ironies" that might have Interested even Mr. Hardy, tho novelist. A business man made a memorandum saying that ho was to notify a certain young woman from Illinois to report for work aa his stenographer. He allowed tho matter to go over until the next day. In tho morning papers of tho next day ho read of tho girl's raielde. Sho had been looking for work for a month without success. Kansas City Star. Vacations In German Banks. As nn Inducement for its clerks to take their vacations in tho winter in stead of during the usual vacntlon sea son tho Imperial Bank of Germany is offering its clerics extra timo off if they take their outings between Sept 15 nnd May 1. Tho bank finds it necessary to employ hundreds of extra clerks in the summer months to tnko the places of those who are on vacation and believes that if tho outings aro spread over tho whole year business will be less handi capped. Argonaut Spun Glass Silk. Tho advantago of being uninflam mable, unaffected by humidity and in destructible by aeldi or alcohol is claimed for a new kind of artificial silk which is at base pun glass spun nt one-eighteenth of a hair's diameter. This almost ImperccptTblo filament, to which the addition of different chemi cal products gives brilliancy and sup pleness, Is said to bo stronger and more solid than any other artificial ft nf commerce. Teeming Millions Living In Poverty In Great Cities to Be Given Chance on Broad Acres of Untenanted Land If Plans Go Through Is Forming Big Society For the Undertaking.. Former State Senator James N. Stacy of Idaho, who wont to New York from Portland Intending to make a four day stopover which has lengthened Into four years, has announced that ho Is putting tho finishing touches to the realization of his twcnty-flvo-year-old dream looking to the organization of the American Colonization society, which seeks to colonize 700,000,000 acres of land In the west with the poor living In the congested districts' of New York, Chicago and other blft cities. Not only will his great scheme help men to help themselves, he said, but as soon ns free lands and the great resources of the west aro under development the happy homesteaders will send to the cast tho fruits of their labors, thereby helping to reduce the cojt of living to n minimum. It Isn't g&Jng to cost a city man a cent for transportation to his future western hotnv. the ex-sonn-tor declared, and all that Is needed now to lnunch the society and assure its success Is to got sufficient funds from philanthropists to pay tho rail road fares and other incidental ex penses. Mr. Stacy has found time since ho has been In New York investigating conditions on tho east sldo and work ing on the framework of his society to lead tho Friday night meetings at the Catherine street mission. He lives In n small room at 270 "West Eleventh street Just nbout big enough to hold a tiny bed, a bureau, n table, a chair and the big hearted dreamer. Describes Society. "Tho American Colonization society has not yet been incorporated," he said to n reporter. "And neither have offi cers been elected yet but things have gone so well that I believe tho first shipment of colonists to tillable lands In Idaho, Minnesota and Oregon will be made in the next three or four months. "I have watched your bread lines and have found there men who took their fathers' places in tho lino. I have seen tho poverty and unhappiness of tho ten ements. Labor leaders with whom I have talked have told mo that there aro hundreds of thousands of unem ployed in New York alone. Tho condi tions in the congested sections are frightful. And in tho west there are millions of acres of land, half the area of somo states, waiting to be colonized! 'It Is of course impracticable for the poor of the cities to get to tho west and aid in its development unassisted, and ,iho society will undertake to give them free transportation and take care of thorn until they are on their feet. "How is this to be dono? Tho sim plest thing in the world. Wo will flrst get the railroads Interested in the plan. It will bo like 'casting bread on the waters' fo them, for their return will be great when the lands have been tak en up. Communities will grow, and an ever ceaseless stream of freight, includ ing crops, will begin its eastward course to tho cities. Thon we will seek the assistance of philanthropists like Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. Russell Sage and Mrs. E. H. Harriman. Will Ask J. J. Hill's Aid. "Ono of the first railroad men I want to sco about this Is James J. Hill. He 'is a friend of mine. Back in 18CS, when I kept a general store nt Monti eollo, Wright county, Minn., Jim Hill and a wheat buyer named Henry Atncs of Milwaukee were stopping at a hotel lust opposite my store. The inosqultooS were thick, and ventilation was bad in the hotol, so they came over to my place and asked if they couldn't sleep there I mado up bods for them on tho counter, and they rested well. I know that Mr. nill will like the societr'B col onization idea and will help 1 flong all ho can." The ex-eenator said hoadquarters ir the society will bo established in Not York, where there are so much poverty and acute suffering, and branches will bo located in Chicago and Portland, Ore. "There is no doubt that wo will get all tho money wo need," said Mr. Stacy In his little room, "as soon as tho peo ple understand the humanitarian mo tives at the bottom of the project Thero's a man in Brooklyn, whoso name I'm not at liberty to tell, who has promised to give us $10,000 as soon as we got tho Bocicty working. NobVly can possibly mako a cent out of it" Mr. Stacy claims that when he y" in the Idaho state senate in 180S-0 lit) nut through a free homestead law. The senate then stood oleven Republicans and ten Democrats, be said, and ha was the Republican leader. WOMAN SAYS BULGARS KILLED TURKS LIKE DOGS. She Writes From Kavala Telling of Awful Massacres by Troops. An Austrian woman living in Kavala has written a letter dated Dec. 0, but only now published in the Montags Zcltung, in which she describes fearful atrocities by Bulgarian Komitadjls upon the Turkish Inhabitants. Having described the arrival of the Komitadjls in Kavala and tho arrest of the gov ernor, she proceeds: "On the following day a man hunt, or, more properly speaking, a Turk hunt, began. People who had commit ted no other crime than that they were Islamites, and these the best situated in tho city, were taken prisoners and executed without even a pretense of a trial in the most cruel manner. "At midnigVt prisoners were awaken ed, bound together while half nakod in twos and threes nnd then wounded in tho abdomen between the ribs nnd in other parts of the body with bayonets. Tho murderers then reversed their ri fles and beat them to death with the butt ends of guns like mad dogs. Age or rank was no reason for mercy. On tho flrst night thlrty-nlno were tortured to death, on tho second fifteen, on the third eight and on tho following night thirty, until 115 were killed In Kavala nlone. "In a neighboring city the Turks de fended themselves and shot two sol diers. Thereupon tholr officer took out his wntch and said: 'It is 4 o'clock. Now you may do what you like to tho Turks until 4 tomorrow.' That was enough for tho soldiers. The brutal wretches murdered- 1,200 Turks In twenty-four hours." USES DYNAMITE FOR SUICIDE.

Workman Shoots and Stabs Self, Then Takes Explosive. A recent suicide of an extraordinary character was committed at Epernay, France, by Gaetan Valencia, a work man, aged twenty-ix, who had been disappointed in love.
