Some Literary Offerings Of the
Season

Two novels from the pen of David Gra-
ham Phillips are excellent examples OF the
new school of fiction which is enjoying
temporary vogue in contemporary American
literature Mr.. Phillips heroes and herOines
are not the swashbuckling ieutenants and
couuettish damsels of the romantic novels,
but the real flesh and blood men and women
of our own epoch The scenes of action are
not laid upon ancient battlefields in castle
and fort, but in our own seemingly prosaic
marts of trade, society drawing rooms and
political chambers The action is more
less dramatic; the interest more than hu-
man. If anything the clashing of giant per
sonalities and individual passions present
greater realism in the new environment than
in the old.
In "The Deluge," Mr.. Phillips has drama
tized "Frenzied Finance" Weuse this Lawson
lied phrase purposely, for even the densest
intellect will perceive that Matt Black
lock is thin disguise for Lawson himself
and the dreaded Roebuck has a strong
semblance to the patron of Chicago Univer-
sity in his quoting of Scripture and the
enisting of his God in his StOckjObbng
operations. The financial battle is de-
scribed in a mastery manner yet is it
hardly superior to the love theme which is
developed with power and a sympathetic ro-
manticism, hardly to be looked for from the
author of "The Plum Tree"
'The Social Secretary by the same
thor, is lighter in vein and the characters
not quite so Titanic. PA Burke, the states
man from Bucyrus, more intent upon social
recognition than upon Legislative triumphs;
Ma" Burke, the unwilling martyr, injecting
her refreshing personality into the jaded so
cial life of the Nations capital, are charac-

ters depicted by a man who has not wooed
the comic muse in vain. The love affair be-
tween the son and heir of the house and
the high strung aristocrat of the Burke i'm
possibles will suit the most romantic mai
den with whom the success of a novel de-
pends the tinkling of the wedding bells
before 'finis' is written.
Octave Thanet's first essay in the realm
of sustained fiction is a success. While
The Man of the Hour"f will hardly be re-
garded by posterity THE American novel,
yet it is good deal to say in this age OF lit
erary overproduction that it will be read
when many will be forgotten. rhe book
possesses positive literary merit The ac-
ton is dramatic and the characters recogniz-
able as real human beings. The authors
excursions into sociology and economics,
her attempts to solve the labor problem,
will hardly be regarded satisfactory from
the scientific view, but why look for any
thing like this from writer of fiction? JON
ivan, as a boy, youth and man, courageous,
of true nobility of mind and heart Peggy,
good and beautiful-are in themselves ample
recompense for economic amateurisms and
solecisms. If you wish to read book from
cover, and if you care to indulge in that sigh
of satisfaction which every normal man and
woman ought to crave, read "The Man of
the Hour.
The March King has again abandoned
the baton for the pen, and has left us to
judge which is the mightier You would not
recognize in 'PipetOwn Sandy'T any El
Captain or "Stars and Stripes Forever"
motif. This is a boys story for boys, and
we can give an absolute guarantee that Sun
day schools adopt Sandy and place him
on their library shelves without fear of a
disciplinary revolution. E. M.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 6.-As q result OF

Jurisdiction over the prisoners career

Two deputy United States Marshals

day, and tonight are guarding the way
to Mrs. Chadwick's cell. Not even her
attorney, J. p. Dawley. was allowed to
see her to-day because he had not OBJ

of his calling to see his client, but a

JENNINGS ADDRESS.
At the opening of the proceedings
yesterday President Rufus P. Jennings
made an address. In part he said:
1T is impracticable at this time to
go into all of the details of the work
that has been done by the committee.
The necessity and Importance OF
prompt action, however. is realized.
and that the comprehensive report of
the engineers now before us should be
carried out with all possible dispatch
is evident.
I'VE are menaced with constant
danger and the sooner this danger is
averted the better. The points of con-
troversy that have heretofore divided
forces and probably delayed conclusive
actions are ALL hope. finally disposed
of by the report of the commission of
engineers. Any one who studies care
fully the argument made by these
gentlemen by which they arrive at their
final conclusions cannot fail to see that
most of the remedies previously sug-
gested had their measure of merit.
This shows what all of us have recog-
nized that they were the conclusions
of thinking men who were probably
not furnished with the elaborate de-
tails from which the commission of en-
gineers worked.
az seems to me good reason has
been shown why all controversial
points should be abandoned. and aban-
doned forever. Never again must our
efforts be weakened by discussing the
several issues that have been settled by
the report of the commission of en-
gineers.
There is much yet to be done. The
work has only commenced. That which
is before us needs the help of every
one and it is believed that Californians
will join together and carry out a plan
which IL it's benefits to the State are
scarcely to be estimated. The ends de-
sired, however, can only be accom-
plished by concerted action, a setting
aside of individual prejudices and even
personal interests. One for all and all

Mrs. Bouton's Relatives
FIND NO TRACE OF HER
Special p.u.sch to Tn. Call.

DENVER. Jan. 5.-Mrs. Augusta I.
Bishop, who came to Denver early last
year from San Francisco. may have
been the woman murdered on Mount
Cutler, near Colorado Springs, whose
body was found on the mountain on
December H. Her friends in this city
are certain that she answers the de-
scription of the dead woman In every
way, and are not shaken by the SEEM
ingly positive Identification of the body
as that of Mrs. Bessie Bouton OF Syra-
cuse, N. Y.
Mrs. Bishop has not been heard from
since last June. Shortly before that
time she went to Colorado Springs. She
was engaged in selling hair and face
preparations, and when she left Dem
yer about $500 worth of various prepa-
rations were left in this city in the care
of Mrs. l.. u. Jones, with whom she nao
stopped. Mrs. Jones has not heard from
her and still has the goods. Mrs. Bfsh-
op promised to return not later than
October. Her general description close
ly answers that of the victim of the
mysterious tragedy. Her hair was the
same color and her weight and age the
same.
When Mrs. Bishop came to Denver
she said she came from San Francisco
and that her home was In California
She was retiring and uncommunicative,
and those who made her acquaintance
learned little of her affairs. She did not
make money here, and went to Colo
RADIO Springs in a search for a new 10
cation.
Mrs. Jones sent a letter to Colorado
Springs several days ago addressed to
Mrs. Bishop. 1t was returned, the
postal authorities having been unable
to locate the woman.
While the identification Of the body
found as that of Mrs. Bouton Is strong,
there is enough doubt about 1t to cause
much anxiety among Mrs. Bishop 9
friends.

LEARNS HIS WIFE is ALIVE
THROUGH DIVORCE SUMMONS
Legal Document Tells Canadian of
Woman He Had Not Seen in
Five Years.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 5.-Ed-
ward O'Reilly of Ottawa has heard
from his wife, from whom he has been
separated five years. The news came
in the form of a notice calling on him
to appear in an action for absolute di-
vorce brought by Mrs. Eliza O'Reilly
in the Superior Court of the county
of Los Angeles, Cal. Sheriff McLach-
Ian served the notice, but as United
States divorces are not recognized by
Canadian courts O'Reilly will ignore
the matter entirely.
Five years ago at Aylmer, Quebec,
Judge Falconbridge gave judgment in
an action brought by O'Reilly for the
custody of two children, issue of rnc
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. O'Reilly.
The woman not wishing to comply,
went to Winnipeg and then to Los An
geies, where she entered action for di-
ycrce.

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-A number of
cussing with all seriousness the propo-
sition of DR.. Ida Hilsicker of Zurich,
that women be called upon to serve
the State one year after the analogy
of the military service of men.
The majority do not go as far as
DIR. Hilscker in demanding compul-
sorry service, pointing out that the
cost is prohibitive, but suggesting that
a year of voluntary service might have
many advantages, especially educa-
tional and disciplinary.
The state, it is argued, could utilize
women in army hospitals, asyIums,
public nurseries and also to train in
the household arts.

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Jan. 5.--Bids were

furnishing $4,000 barrels of fuel oil
for the Roosevelt dam and they will
be referred to Washington for the
awarding. There were various propo-
sitions submitted. including oil at the

the supply point was by the Union
