. KANSAN MADE TRIP
PACKED IN A BOX
Started From Kansas to Galves-
ton In Novel Manner
Scheme Worked On An Express Com-
pany Until Water Supply Gave Out
in the Box
Special to , id Timet.
Fort Worth, Tex., May 8.—
A. MeyOrs, "the human snail,” who
rode In a cramped talking machine
box from Lawrence, Kansas, to Fort
Worth because he lacked railroad
^fnre and was' afraid of the freight
P- L.'.route, has dictated his own story of
* " the trip to a reporter.
The novel traveler was released
from the city prison late Monday aft-
ernoon, after advices from Lawrence,
Kansas, proved that the man was not
wanted for any offense.
M) day Monday and Tuesday My-
ers was solicited by exhibitors, who
desired to let the public see him as a
curiosity. He is now arranging for an
exhibition in Fort Worth, waiting only
on the box in which he traveled. The
American Express company is holding
the box and will not give it up, even
with Myers' offer to pay the full
amount of the charges to Galveston.
In case he can secure this box, he will
t go on exhibition.
The “human snail's” tale of how
he traveled, why. he devised such an
ingenious method and of his sensa-
k tlons while he lay cramped in the
iiox anp billed as a talking machine
and the surprise of the express mes-
senger when he asked for a drink
of water, grows with interest v;hen
he'tells it in his own words.
Here is his own story:
Hy Banks A. Myers.
For some time I had been wishing
to go to Galveston and thence to Vera
$ Crus, and as £ lacked the necessary
money, having $.13.15. 1 was passing
along the rear of Bell Brothers' mu-
sic store in Lawrence. Kan., and saw
a Victrola music box, and the thought
struck me, why not hex myself up and
ship myself by express? So, Friday
evening at 5 o’clock. I went to the
American Express office and asked
them what the freight per 100 pounds
on a talking machine would be to
Galveston. They told me that the rate
would be $4 per 100. So I decided
that I would have enough to pay my.
express. 1 then told them that I
A would have a baggage man fetch the
talking machine to them in the morn-
ing. but I wou$d not bc there to bill
it, but would give a stamped enve-
lope to the expressman for them to
send the receipt on to Galveston. I
billed the box as a talking machine.
I offered them $5 as a part prepay-/
ment on It. They said that as they
did not know the weight and could
not make the charges, I could just
pay at the other end. So, Saturday.
I bought th^i box from Bell Brothers,
paying them $1 for it. and after fix-
ing it up somewhat for my convenl-
/«lice by placing a seat in it. and also
Mixing a removable panel at one side
so that in case It would become too
close I would not suffocate, and pre-
paring myself With two bottles of wa-
ter, I then went and hired a baggage-
the Kansas river to the Union Paci-
fic depot, where 1 stayed for about
twenty minutes, and left Lawrence at,
about .l.'05 in the afternoon, arriving
in Kansas City about 4:15 In the aft-
ernoon.
Nearly Melted in the Sun.
All the time from the time I ges(
Into the box, the box was standing
in the sweltering sun. Say, but maybe
It wasn’t hot!
But, still it wasn't quite so bad as
when I got in the ear, as while it was
about 85 degrees when I was outside,
there was a little air stirring and l
would get It through the crevices in
the box, but when I was in the car f
got no air at all. I first had to pull
off my shirt, then had to open my
undershirt and use my hat for a fan
and the sweat was pouring from me
In streams. But after they took me
BanksVout in Kansas City, it having rained'
there, the weather was considerably
cooler and I rested comfortably. I
was transferred from the U. p. to .the
Katy and left Kansas City at nine
o’clock Saturday night.
This is the last station I know of
Until I reached Denison, as I could
not tell about the stations until we
were nearing Denison I heard them say
we would be at Denison at 12:45 Sun-
day afternoon. I could see the bag-
gageman and express messenger at
work loading and unloading baggage
l»y peeping through the very narrow
cracks in the boards,
I wa3 molested only once during the
trip and that time to shove the box
further back into the car. X slept very
good Saturday night and most of Sun-
day forenoon. I was rather cramped

Copper Producers’ Monthly

AotteUtcd Press Dispatch
New York, May 8.—The monthly state-
ment of the copper producers and the
government crop report received more
attention in the financial community to-
day than did the stock market, while
trading wag so lifeless as to be almost
without significance. Expectations of a

many small net losses among the active

The copper producers' statement was
not favorable, as had been expected, but

The real market leaders with few ex.

this seemed to be due more to neglect

man to transfer-the box'to the express
company, telling him not to, coitto
around for half an hour, as I would
not be ready, and that I had made ar-
rangements with the express company.
I paid him 25 cents to haul me. Then
I went, crawled Into the box. care-
fully fastening one side in with wire.
When he came he got another man to
help him load it. They laid the box
JL over on its side, but when I found it
was going over I braced myself and
did not get hurt, and my bottles were
in excelsior so that they were all
right.
He then hauled me two blocks to
the American Express office and un-
loaded me there, placing the box up-
right again.1 The expressman came
out and looked at the box. making
different remarks, among which was,
Say, that box must be loaded with

my position and then go to sleep, again.
I did not mind this at all, but rather
enjoyed it, as I could hear all that was
going on-outside of me, and they, of
course, didn’t know wlhat was inside. I
had forgotten to say that as I went
to take a drink shortly after I was put
in at Lawrence, I accidentally broke
the corner of one of my water bottles,
thereby losing a good portion of that
bottle of water. The remainder I
drank to save it.
The other bottle of water I had used
up by midnight Saturdaj-, as I had
lost so much moisture in the sweating
process. As X was nearing Denison I
got very thirsty but I thought I could
get along, and did not wish to come
out as there were both a messenger
and a baggageman on the car as far
as Denison. After passing through
Denison and riding quite a distance, I
noticed that there was only one man
in the car, the messenger. I saw him
looking out the door very unconcern-
ed and I thought now was a splendid
opportunity to have a drink. I could
see the water cooler through the crack
and it had been tempting me for so
long that I could not resist the temp-
tation.
Caught Taking a Drink.
So, 1 thought t could Just now
come out. I quietly unloosed the wires
and pushed the front forward, stepped
feut and marched for the cooler. Thu
roaring of the bur prevented the mes-
senger hearing me. I passed him and
just beyond him was the cooler. I
said as I passed him, "Brother, I
would like to have a drink. I am jus*
about all In.” He looked around very
much surprised and frightened and
said, “Where in -
from ?"
“I said out of that box back there
in the corner.” Whereupon he took
a tremendous laugh.
I got a hearty drink and filled the
botti^. Th*,messenger said, "Don’t go
back In that box. Take* box here at
the door and rest yourself, which I
gladly did, and traveled an hour and
a half with him until we came to Fort
Worth I got back into the box and
pulled the Hd to. When we stopped
at the station, he came and knocked
on the box, he said I would have to
come out, which I did.
I waa taken to the express office and
questioned about my methods, reasons,
etc., and after a consultation among
the express men, they turned me over
to the city detectives, by whom I was
detained twenty-two hours awaiting in-
formation from Lawrence. This evi-
dently was satisfactory, for they re-
leased me and I was besieged by of-

Associotcd Press Dispatch.
Washington, M^y 8—President Taft
indulged in some plain talk in ex-
plaining to twenty-five members of
the National Grange that he does not
intend to play politics with the Cana-
dian agreement, even if the enact-
ment of that measure by congress
costs hint the farmers’ vote.
N. P. Hull, spokesman for the far-
mers, intimatqd strongly that the far-'
mer does not like reciprocity, and
that Republican votes are likely to be
lost if it Is (tossed.
“if reciprocity goes through," said
he, "it means we must take less for
our wheat and less for our products,
and that means a halt in the improve-
ment of our homes and in the educa-
tion of bur children. Take the'states
along the line—Michigan, Wisconsin
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
in the past the farmers of these
sta’.es have been the backbone of Re-
publican protection. You could count
on these people every time.
"If this measure goes through it
will be against our market:) apd Can-
ada Will get the benefit; it will make
it hard for us to get a dollar, and I
ask you for your opinion on this im-
portant Item.,”
"Certainly/’ said the president, ”1
have no dispositibn to interfere with
the prosperity of those who make up
the bone and sinew of our population
1 the farmers-—and lam convinced I
am in no way interfering with it. If
I am—if we carry through this treaty
and it turns out it does produce the
Injury you anticipate—it can be re-
pealed by a single congress.
"It does not last longer than either
side desires it to last. I am convinced
that after it has been given one year's
trial, neither side will thlhk of re-
versing it. That is my conviction
