Gelntoid for spectncles.

Spectacles of wire gauze are too dark.
Those of glass are easily dimmed by a
cold draft or little dust. A heavy
blow destroys them and the splinters
are then source of danger. DR.. Thorn
ALA, of Berlin, has discovered that from
Schering's gelatoid, an elastic, perfect
ly transparent material, which can be
hardened in amylacetate, spectacle
may be made. If broken, it will not
splinter. Moisture does not condense
on the surface. Gelatoid does not be-
come so hot as glass, near fire, and
does not catch fire.

STUART NEAR DEATH.
Taken Down With Acute Mountain
Fever and in Bad Shape.

Carson, New, Feb. 25.-Although Dan
Stuart, protector of pugilistic enter
prises, has been confined to his room
for ten days, it was not known until
last evening that the Texan had on two
occasions been given up by his physi-
clans.
1t had been reported all along that
Stuart had been suffering from an at
tack of Indigestion. 1t was stated that
he was taken down with a pecu.
liar form of pneumonia known in this
section as mountain fever. Both of
Stuart's lungs were affected and last
Thursday his temperature was 104. A
consultation, at which four leading ply
sicians of this section were present
was held, and the medical men declared
that Stuart had not more than one
chance in 20 to recover. This afternoon
he was able to walk about his room and
hopes to be about inside of a week. The
physicians will not allow anybody to
see Stuart

BUMGARDNER ASSAULTED
Knocked Of of the Sidewalk on His
Way Home Last Night.

Another knockdown occurred last
evening just after dark within two
blocks of Sixth and Kansas avenue in
which a citizen, who was quietly walk
ing home, was thrown violently into
the gutter and badly shaken up by
East side toughs.
Last evening John Bumgardner of 629
Madison street, started from the tailor
shop of John F. McManus, where he is
employed as cutter. 1t was 1925 and
he was walking toward his home At
the southwest corner of Sixth and Mon
roe streets four men were standing.
Mr.. Bumgardner had on heavy over
coat and his hands were thrust in his
pockets. Upon approaching the men
he noticed that they divided, two on
either side. When between them the
largest man took hold of another of the
gang and hurled him forcibly against
Mr. Bumgardner. The force of the
blow knocked him away several feet
and he fell into the gutter. He was
unable to arise for a short time, owing
to having been stunned by the blow
and the fall.
The four men walked away hurriedly.
Mr.. Bumgardner recovered himself and
went to his home. He was consider
ably bruised by the fall Nothing has
been heard of as to who the four men
were, and of course they haven't been
arrested

BUTLER AND JONES AGREE.
Both Think the Silver Republicans
Have Done Just Right

Washington, Feb. 25.-The following
are some of the expressions of sena-
tors on the address issued Tuesday by
the silver Republicans:
Mr. Dubois of Idaho: THE pronuncia-
mentO, if you please to call it so, seems
clear and speaks for itself. The silver
Republicans are fully organized in sew
eral states, but there are large numbers
of them in every state who are not or
ganiZed. Our object is to- have a ma
tiona1 organization as well as an or
ganizatiOn in each state When the
Republican tariff measure fails to give
relief, as it must of necessity, from our
reasoning, then Republicans who are
silver advocates will find a home and
welcome in the silver Republican party.
When the incoming administration
gives no more benefits to the people
than the present and proves as dismal
failure, there will be large numbers
of men who will leave the Republican
party. They will turn to the silver
Republicans
1t is not the intention to antagonize
existing parties which advocate bimet-
allism, but to cooperate with them and
strengthen the great cause of silver.
The silver Republicans. believe none
tary reform to be the great OVershad-
owing issue for the people, and will ask
those to join us who think all other
issues should be considered of small
Importance as compared with the res
tOratiOn of silver as basic money,
money of final redemption"
senator Jones, CHAIRMAN Oh the DEM
Ocratic national committee, said: I
believe it is the proper course for those
who are Republicans, and yet who are
conscientious bimetallists. There are
many Republicans in the country who
accept the financial question as the
most important one now before the
country. They are not Democrats and
they are not Populists. This new or
ganization gives them a politi cal home.
They can vote their convictions on the
finances without doing violence to their
convictions on other subjects, and they
can, after this question is disposed of,
return to the old party if they wish
Senator Butler, chairman of the Pop
ulist national committee, said: 1T is
the wisest thing they could have done.
OF course 1 would have preferred to
have these gentlemen and all silver Re
publicans, and in fact all of those OPP
posed to existing conditions, to join
the Peoples Party, the banner under
which all patriots should enlist. But
1 realize the fact that they can corral
more strength and make themselves
more effective by the organization pro-

Island of Crete.

London, Feb. 25.-In the house of
lords today Lord Salisbury, replying to
a question from Lord Dunraven, said
that as the best means of placing the
house in possession of the facts of the
movement as regards Crete, he would
read a telegram sent yesterday even
ing to the British ambassadors to the
courts of the great powers. 1t was:
Inform the government to which
you are accredited that her majesty S
government purposes to make the fol-
lowing declaration of the policy which
they intend to pursue and which they
believe is in accordance with the views
of their allies:
"Firstly-The establishment of an ad-
ministration autonomy in Crete as a
necessary condition for the termination
of the international occupation
''Secondly-That, subject to the above
conditions, Crete ought in their judg-
pnent to remain portion of the Turk
ish empire.
"Thirdly-The Turks and Greeks
this resolution.
.'FourthIy-If Turkey or Greece
should when required, persistenly re
fuse to withdraw their military and
ers should impose their decision by
force upon the state so refusing"
Paris, Feb. pa special dispatch re-
ceived here from Larissa, Greece, says
that 20 600 Greek troops are concen-
trated there, and that the greatest ac-
tivity prevails The dispatch further
states that it is believed at Larissa
that general hostilities will immedi-
ately begin on the frontier in the event
of Greece not being allowed TO annex
the island of Crete.
Athens, Feb. 25.-King George and
his government reiterate that it is i'm
possible for them to retreat from their
decision in regard to Crete. which is
supported by the whole nation.

STATE EMPLOYEES STRIKE.
California Stops Pay and the States
Printers Stop Work.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 25.-The press
men employed in the state printing Of
fee have quit work and refuse to go
back
They say they have received no
wages for six weeks and they see no
prospect of getting any. The state
printer accordingly has closed down the
entire plant and the legislature will be
unable to transact any business until
the pressmen and printers go back to
work.
The real cause of the trouble is the
veto by Gov. Budd of the bin appro-
priating $4,000 for the use of the state
printing office. The governor charges
that the office has been conducted in an
eXtravagant manner and that the act
Of the state printer in creating a def
cheney was illegal.
