FINDS DANTE. WAS NOT
ITALIAN But GERMAN
Author of Book Says Poet Had Light
Hair and Blue Eyes

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-Dante was not an
italian by race, but German. Such
is the most recent conclusion of Ger
man erudition in the person of DIR.
Louis Woltmann, who has just written
a book which is supposed to prove
conclusive1y that the great poet had
blonde hair and blue eyes, as well as
other German characteristics in his
philosophy and general habit of
thought.
Dante, says the doctor, speaks in
one place of his hair in a way which
leaves no doubt as to it's color, and
in another place he remarks that sud-
den pallor seizes him when he suffers
pain. This trait is only known, con-
tinues the doctor, in the pink faced
races of the North. Dante was a Ger
man; of that there can be no doubt
DR.. Woltmann has sent copy Of
his book to nearly all the learned
scholars of the world. 1t will contain
sad news for them, he thinks but the
truth must be told.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-At the meet

Cooper Union tonight, Chairman Post,
of Battle Creek, Mich. said he had pre-
pared papers and would ask the United
States supreme court for restraining
order to prevent Senator Thomas c.
Platt from taking his seat
He said he would take this action
on the ground that Senator Plat SUBJ
verts the interests of the people he has
sworn to represent in the interests of
corporation he really represents. The
matter relates to the parcels post.
Mr.. Post said:
Senator Platt is president Of the Unit
ed States Express company. Word was
passed around to other senators that no
definite action should be taken on the
Post check money bill. Senator Platt
was approached by my representatives to
know his attitude, and he clearly defined
the fact that he was opposed to. the meas
ure because 1t was contrary to the in
terests of the express companies. He
ignores the interests of the public where
those interests conflict with his own COM
pany and would directly affect his own
earnings. He is drawing two salaries, one
from the express company and the other
from the people.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The Evening

One passage in Gov Johnson's inau-

upon the placehunters of Minnesota. In

desirability of providing for an amend

tenure of Office of governor from two

points out the necessity for getting the
amendment before his own two-year term

any chance of reelection. In writing

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 13.-That
Marie Boyd, the five-year-old daugh-

BLIND man BUYS
A STOLEN MUR|[LO.
John Condor Pays Sum of
$4,000 for Madonna by
Old Master

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Pat Sheedy's hertz
age from Adam Worth-the painting of
Madonna by Murillo-has been purchased
by John Condor, the blind proprietor OF
the Harlem race track. For several weeks
the picture has been on exhibition at Moul-
tons art galleries. The price paid for
the work is said to approximate $4,000.
With the Murille three other paintings
went to Condon's residence at 1923 Mich
igan avenue. All were violently in con-
trast with the Murillo in their brilliant
color schemes. One was the picture of a
cavalier in red cloak by Roybet, the
French artist, another a gay scene of Ven
ice by ITEM. and the last a portrait by
Henner.
Morgan Said to Have Bid
j. Pierpont Morgan is said once to have
been bidder for the Murillo.
The painting, which is believed to be
nearly 300 years old, is supposed to have
been stolen from Mexican convent forty
years ago. It found it's way to Worth,
the notorious English fence who died,
leaving the treasure to Sheedy, the Chi
cago faro king, ;, "for services rendered. =,
On Christmas eve 1901, Worth became
Ill In his apartments in the suburbs of
London. His quarters were invaded by
gang of thieves, with whom he had
consorted, who ransacked the house.
Sheedy who was in New York, gave up
all hopes of ever possessing the Murillo,
which had been promised him. One day,
however, a stranger handed him a bundle,
wrapped in a soiled newspaper. Inside
the wrapper the tattered canvas, hardly
recognizable for dirt and grease, was
found. When the picture was cleaned
and remounted, the deep tints were
brought out. as well as the characteristic
skull which distinguishes all of Muril-
los paintings. The picture evidently had
been cut from large painting possibly
representing group.
Declared to Be Genuine
Some doubt has been expressed as to the
authenticity of the work. but many of the
most eminent art critics OF England and
America have pronounced it genuine.
You couldn't deceive Sheedy on a pic,
ture,' declared Mr.. Moulton at his studio
The fact that both Worth and Sheedy
pronounced it genuine is a guarantee
'Sheedy, who is now in California, is
expected in Chicago soon.

At the opening of the convention
majority and minority reports were
submitted by the committee that con-
sidered the plan of reorganization. The
former, which came from the cattle
men, was read by S. II. Cowan, of
Texas, and recommended that only
stockmen be admitted to membership
and that all visiting stockmen be al
lowed to vote on the plan of reorgani-
cation. 1t declared against a combi-

opinion that if outside parties were

get congress and the president to come

Seceders Organize
The cattle men who left the conven-
ton gathered at a hotel in the after
noon and appointed a committee of
fifteen to present plan for a new or

unanimously adopted, recommended
that temporary president be appoint
ed, to hold office until May 2, when a
general convention for permanent or

John w. Springer, a former president
of the National Live Stock association,
was elected president until the May

Mr.. Springer later announced his in
ability to serve as president, and Con-
rad Schaffer, of Colorado, president of
theh Colorado Cattle Growers associa-

In the new organization the repre-

not 4 THIEF But
A BARGAIN HUNTER
Odd Mania of Aged Woman
Gets Her and Husband
Into Trouble


NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-The arrest of
Thomas Robinson, aged eighty-one years,
and his wife, Hannah, ten years his jun
ior, early this week, on the charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods, and their, releases
after being held five days, has revealed
ing on record.
Bargain hunting and bargain counter
rushing as incidents of feminine activity
have been targets for the joke writers
since the days of old Raameses, but never
perhaps in history has the bargain hunter
been disclosed in such purity, SO free
from any admixture of unrelated acts
and motives as in the person of the aged
and kindly Hannah Robinson.
The incident also is another example
of police outrage with which this town
is so familiar, for the couple, certainly
innocent, were arrested without warrants
and their fiat looted by the police, and
they published as criminals without a
shadow of evidence.
Flat crammed With Intact Bundles
After the detectives had arrested the
RobinsonS they found in the fiat strange
condition of affairs. There were piled
thousands of bundles containing every i'm
ag1nable kind of dry goods, dress patterns,
handkerchiefS, even infants shoes and
slips, and other stuff for which they could
not have had any use. Merchandise was
so thickly piled in the four rooms that
there was room only for cook stove and
bed, with a narrow aisle between the rows
of bundles to allow one to pass through.
Most of the bundles had been unopened
and piled up as they had been received
from the stores. This miscellaneous col
lection of junk, it appeared, represented
not stolen goods, but merely the aged
woman's passion for bargains. Safely ba ok
at home again the aged couple today talk
ed of their experience.
Ham ah, whose weakness brought so
dismal a New Year on them both, sat by
her husbands side most of the time, hold
ing his hand and scolding him when he
cried, but every now and then her tears
would come and her voice, too, would
break.
you see I've never done wrong in my
life said she. when the police ham
mered on my door late at night, came in
here and threw all my nice things around
and told me was a thief, why it upset
me so couldn't defend myself.

Among the things taken from the fiat
were several bank books showing the
Robinsons to have $4,000 on deposit in the
Greenwich and Union Dime Savings bank.
This money came to Mrs. Robinson as a
legacy from an aunt who died in Eng
land.
Mrs Robinson, despite her years, until
several weeks ago, almost continually was
employed as nurse at SIS a week.
