It Is In reality quite harmless, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. No animal is a more thorough "bluffer." It can Inflate Its skin to twice its normal size, presenting an appearance of extreme ferocity. When It Is angry it hisses and rattles Its tall, while it Is further endowed with the astonishing jrlft of squirting blond from Its eyes! Actually, however, the horn toad is as Incapable of Inflicting injury as the ordinary garden frog.

lis ability to emit blood from Ite eyes without damage to those delicate organs has lately claimed the attention of scientists, who have discovered that the toad squirts blood as a safety valve ejects steam. When the creture Is disturbed its blood pressure rises, filling with blood the tiny porkets round its eyes. A the pressure Increases the walls ot these pockets give way and the blood shoots forth, frightening; away Its enemy. The blood Is slightly acid and causes a certain amount of discomfort to the person or animal whose skin It touches. The horn toad can squirt its blood 15 Inches, at Intervals of from one to two minutes, and has been known to repulse even rattlesnakes by this extraordinary means.

Bright red scarfs in the show window of a Manchester haberdashery attracted the scorn of a bull being led through the city streets by Arthur Mack, farmer. The bull charged the win down, shsttering the glsss and tore up the display ef tlothing. Continued From First Page the two men began more than a year ago, according to the newspaper. The transaction In which the Governor's son is alleged to have received the bribe took place In a hotel at Topeka yesterday, the article stated. The money had been marked, and bills whlch young Pa-vis relurned, when confronted by the witnesses, corresponded with numbers checked in advance.

After handing over the, money, Pullman, the article stated, read the following verses from the Bible to young Davis: "It Is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools." "For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of fools; this also is vanity." "Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroyed! the understanding." "Behold, this only have I found: That Ood made men upright, but they have sought out many inventions." Then Pollman called In those In the adjoining room. Although Young Davis asserted his father knew nothing of the transaction the newspaper article that "other evidence has been assembled over period of three weeks connecting the Governor with the solicitation and acceptance of the bribe." TOPEJKA. Jan. 10 (United Press.) Governor navis inqay cnar ictemeu as a "frame up" and a "plot to get me," the article appearing in the Kansas City Journal wherein Russell G. Davis, the governor's son, is alleged to have accepted a $1 2 bribe for a pardon for Fred W.

Pollman, former convict out on parole. "It was framed Up by my political enemies," the governor asserted. Governor Davis declared that his son delivered the pardon to Poll-man, which already had been granted, and that "somehow they inveigled my son into accepting the money." The governor denied there had been any irregularities in h's granting of pardons. Russell Davis is manager of his father's farm and is 28 years old. Continued From first Page roll call It was the opinion of all newspaper correspondents and many others In the room, based on records they kept, that John AY.

Arthurs, of Kenton, who had been the bone of contention all during the four-day deadlock, had received enough votes to elect htm secretary. On Ihe tenth ballot Senators Pool and Slmonton, Republicans, voted for Mr. Arthurs. According to the tally kept by newspaper men seven of the Democratic members also voted for Arthurs. Senators Cann and McDowell, Democrats, voted for Ralph Wlngate.

Mr. Wingate, who was secretary of the Senate two years ago, was acting secretary. William Sauls-bury, temporary attorney of the Senate, was calling the roll. Mr. Saulsbury called the roll so fast that Wlngate was unable to record the vote as he called It.

At the end of the roll call Mr. Wlngate had recorded but sixteen votes although the entire membership of seventeen Senators was present and joting, Mr. Wlngate explained that he had but sixteen votes and President pro-tern Truitt. who was presiding, ordered another roll call. On the next roll call Mr.

Johnson was elected. He received all of the Republican votes and also the vote of Senator Hardest Democrat, which gave him nine, just enough lo elect. Some of Mr. Arthurs' friends talked vt contesting the election of Johnson, but there Is apparently no ground for such a contest. The vote on the bal'ot on whic It claimed Mr.

Arthurs was elected was not announced by either the clerk or the presiding officer and consequently there Is no official record of It. The fact is the clerk who took the vote had the votes of but 16 Senators while IT voted. The election of Senator Truitt as president pro-tern came late In the afternoon following a recess after a number of ballots had been taken. It had been, rumored around the corridors that there was likely to be a break, consequently a large number of visitors gathered. Previous to the recess there had been ten ballots taken with Senators Truitt and Viven getting most of the support but scattering votes for other Senators for the office, Se'nator Cann, Democrat, of Klrkwood, who by a straight from the shoulder talk before the recess had helped to bring the flghj to the Renate floor, Insisted after tho recess that if they could not elect a president, pro-tern the senate should then ballot for the next office secretary.

Senator Allen, Democrat, claimed the chair had ruled on the question to the effect that the president pro tern had to be elected first. Senator McDowell was In the chair. The question had been brought up earlier In the afternoon. Senator McDowell announced that during the recess he had consulted legal authorities who had informed that while such a procedure would be unusual It would be legal to call a roll on another office before electing the president pro-tem. The Senate voted 14 to 3 agninst voting for secretary before the president pro-tem was elected.

Sena- friends of the family, sang at the services, which was held from the undertaking parlors of Harvey C. Nichols, 502 West Seventh street. TRUITT NAMED, JOHNSON CLERK FORAGING WOLF REPORTED DEAD Utile Red Riding linod's deceit-ful enemy Is left away behind when It comes to craft and cruelty by an old wolf killed In Arizona last year by hunters of the United States Hinloglral Survey, who are ridding the country of destructive wild animals. This wicked beast was estimated to have killed $25,000 worth of cattle and sheep during the past eight years. His usual diet was a calf every four nights, but sometimes he got thing and just went out and killed for the fun of it.

On one such occasion he killed 85 sheep In one night and on another night, when he thirsted for blood, he slew 40. He had quite a following of coyotes who had learned that there would be plenty of leavlnfs where he dined snd who used to trail him at a safe distance night after night. Clever he was, too, for In spite of the fact that a bounty of $500 for his hide had attracted all the hunters of the region he managed to escape death or capture for years. PREVENT SPROUTING OF STORED TUBERS COIA'M BUS, O. Now Is the time when stored potatoes have ended their "rest" periods end enter the dangerous era of sprouting.

According- to John Bushnell, potato specialist at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, here, this ''rest period" ends about January 1. During trtls time potatoes do not sprout, To prevent sprouting after this stage, he advises farmers to keep storage temperature below 42 degrees, at which the potatoeg will remain dormant. The rest period of late potatoes lasts about 100 days after the plants die. For early varieties the period is shorter. During this period there ts no trouble In storing them, as they will not sprout even at room temperatures.

DALLY When It shows thev still are tors Highfleld, Cann and Hardesty were the only three to vote to force the vote on the secretaryship. Senator Ridgely at this point moved to adjourn until Monday and when there was some objection, changed his motion to make It adjourn until this morning. This motion was defeated 11 to 5.

Senator Kramer then moved that another ballot be taken for president pro-tem which motion prevailed. The ballot on which Senator Truitt was elected president pro-tem follows: Truitt Allen, Attlx, Truitt, McDowell, Jester, (Democrats); Simonton, Steele. Kramer and Pool, (Republicans) Total 11. Viven Lord, Ridgely and High-field. Hardesty and Cann.

Arthurs. Eleven ballots were taken as described above suiting with the election of Mr. Johnson. The Senate next went Into the election of a reading clerk. Senator Hardesty nominated Richard Cann, who is a son of Senator Cann.

Senator Pool nominated J. C. Davis, of New Castle, and Senator Allen nominated Fred C. Howard, of S'aford, After a few ballots Richard Cann was dropped and Mr. Wlngate started to receive votes.

Wlngate was elected on the fourteenth ballot. His election on that ballot was the re-suit of Senators Steele, Kramer. Pool, Simonton, Viven and Ridgely, Republicans, voting with Senators Hardesty, Cann and McDowell, Democrats. After a motion was made to proceed with the election of a bill clerk there was considerable discussion as to whether or not this office was elected In this manner or by a Joint resolution. Eventually the Senators decided to go ahead with the election the same other officers.

Senators Jester nominated Wll-lard K. Jacobs, of Harrington; Senator Kramer nominated Charles T. Schofield, of Wilmington, and Senator Hardesty nominated T. Marvel Gooden, of Dover. After fourteen ballots were taken without result the senate adjourned until this morning to complete the organization.

On taking the chair after being elected -president pro-tem SVnator Truitt made a short speech. Get Together Today. Stirred over the developments of yesterday, afternoon, which have created a discordant situation that will crop up at times during the session, the Democratic. Senators went Into conference as soon as they arrived in Dover this morning. The onference lasted nearly an hour and the Senate convened at 11.05 o'clock, It was whispered around that nn agreement had been reached among the Democrats on the remainder of the offices and this turned out to be true.

Although It had been explained that the bill clerks of the two houses a.re named by joint resolution, Senator McDowell moved tihat the Sewcte proceed to ballot for bill ole.rk. Senator Kramer withdrew the name of Charles T. Schofield and nominated in his place Augustus Krlndcll, of Wilmington. Previous to this Harry R. Johnson, the new secretary, was sworn in by president pro tern Truitt and assumed the office.

There had been talk that the ejection of Mr. Johnson might be contested or that the Democra.ts would endeavor to the vote by which he was eJleoted. But nothing along this line developed. The president pro tern and Ralph M. Wingate, reading clerk, were sworn in late yesterday.

On the fifteenth ballot the first taken this morning Mr. Jacobs was elected bill clerk, all nine of the Democrats voting for him. The eight Republican members voted for Mr. Krindell. Senator McDowell nominated A.

J. Wrtght, for sergeant-at-arms. and Senator Steele nominate Robert planation of his vote. Senator Hardesty moved that the president pro tern be authorized to appoint, a secretary, which motion prevailed. Senator Truitt at once announced that he would appoint E.

Frank locates to the ofllee. "More economy," Senator Simonton remarked. On motion of Senator Hardesty the Senate adjourned until o'clock Monday. In the House yesterday afternoon Representatives James C. Hastings, William E.

Vlrden and R. W. Hil-yard were appointed a committee to arrange for the inauguration of Governor-elect Robert P. Robinson. The Senate will name Its committee next week.
