STRANGE WHIM OF FATE
Curious Reuniting of Couple Sep
arated by the San Francisco
Earthquake.

A husband who believed his wife dead
will be reunited with the woman who
buried what she thought to be his body and
wore her widows weeds for months, when
Mrs. Hattie POLITE, who passed through
Milwaukee recently on her way to Stock
ton, Cal, reaches her journeys end. BY
a within OF fate as strange as that which
parted them their mourning has been
ended.
1t Is one Of the most remarkable OF the
stories which grew out Of the San Fran
cisco earthquake. At that time the Polite
family-father. mother and two children
was living In San Francisco. Mrs. Polite
and her husband were injured severely
when the building in which they were liV-
ing was wrecked by the earthquake, and
we're taken to different hospitals.

she was strong enough 70 hsar bad news
they told her that one OF her children had
been killed. The other was with her. She
asked about her husband and would not
rest until she lsaFhed OF his fate. She was
told that his charred body had been found
in their home.

ATHLETICS AND EDUCATION
Professor of Amherst College SAYS
Athletes Are Deficient in
Scholarship.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 2s.-Two dis
cussions Of Importance regarding college
athletics occupied the morning session Of
the American Physical association today
The first arose over a paper by Clark W.
Hetherlngton Of the University OF Missouri
on The Place of Athletics in the Educa-
ton of College Men"
He called attention to the evil effects Of
foot ball and other contests when carried
on exclusively with the idea of pleas
ing the spectators, and said that col
lege directors should insist that athletics be
conducted as a means OF education rather
than as a contribution to the sporting
life of the country.
DR.. Paul ]. Phillips Of Amherst pre-
scented the results of several years investl-
cation into the scholarship OF college ath-
letes at Amherst. His facts showed that
varsity athletes at Amherst for the last
eighteen years have averaged per cent
lower in their studies than the rest OF the
college. DR. Phillips held that this was
caused by the exhaustive efforts required
in competitive athletics,
An address was also delivered by Miss
Gertrude Dudley, physical director for
women In the University of Chicago
The following officers were elected: Pres
ldent, DIR. Thomas A. Storey. College OF
the City OF New York; vice president, DR..
Joseph II. Raycroft. University OF Chicago;
secretary-treasurer, Dr. James A. Rabbit,
Haverford.

what she believed was her husbands
corpse, burned so badly that the features
could not be recognized, Mrs. POLITE started
east for her old home in Shawano, Wis.
She had the bodies buried in Oshkosh and
took up her lonely life in Shawano.
Mrs. PolitE has an interest in a ranch
near Stockton. and some time ago wrote
a ranchman who lived near II to make in
ouiries about it. In replying he told her
there was a man living on it who said he
was her husband, and told his nelghbors
that his wife had been killed in the San
Francisco earthquake.
The wife made inquiries by telegraph
and telephone, although at first believing
the man was an imposter The man on
the ranch responded as eagerly though in
credulously. At last each became con-
WINGED that the other was alive, and Mrs.
POLITE started on her journey to her hus-
band and her second honeymoon. Her
husband. she learned, could find no trace
of his family when he was discharged from
the hospital, and after long search, was
forced to believe his wife and children
dead. There Is nothing TO indicate whose
body 1t was that Mrs. Politz brought east
with her and buried at Oshkosh.-Chlcago

COUNTY ALLOWS OLD BILL
Board Pays George Munro Account Which
Runs for Four Years,
QUESTION ARISES AS TO LEGALITY
Open Accounts OutIavyed After Four
Years, but Ruling IL Made Not
to Apply TO written
Records.

After a lapse of almost four years the
county board has decided to allow the
bill for supplies presented by George f.
Munro company. The claim was for $S1,
but the board Topped off 1915, allowing
S725 The reduction represented differ
ence in the contract price of the supplies
and the price charged on the bill presented
by Mr.. Munro.
The question came up whether or not the
bill was not outlawed by the statute of
limitations. According to the interpreta-
ton made by the county clerks office,
the claim against the county outlaws
in the same manner as a bill against
a private individual. An, open ac-
count cannot be collected after a lapse of
four years, while an account on a written
contract is good for five years The last
item on the bill was dated February 2,
1903, and, according to the commissioners,
the bill was subject to the regular written
contract with Mr.. Munro. Consequently
it was decided it would not become out
lawed until next February If it was an or
binary book account or until a year from
February If 1t was held to be on the con-
tract.
Mr.. Munro presented written orders,
signed by Commissioners Ostrom, Connolly,
O'Keeffe or Harte, for all the items on
the bill but three. To prove these three
items he presented his counter book, show
ing they had been charged on the dates
named in the bill.
MOnrO Forgot About II.
He says he forgot the bill and only dug
1t UP a few weeks ago when he sold his
store and was cleaning up his files At the
time he had had a controversy with the
commissioners because he had charged a
higher price for some OF the items than the
contract called for. He contended the con-
tract did not govern because the contract
was for furnishing goods to the county
hospital while the goods charged for IN
the bill were furnished TO the court house
The proposal under which the contract was
made was for goods to be furnished to the
court house or the county hospital, while
evidently by an oversight the contract was
only for the county hospital.
The commissioners held the contract price
should govern and when the bill was al
lowed in committee of the whole, County
Auditor Smith was directed to reduce tn,
prices In the bill 70 the contract prices
This made a reduction Of 1918 The age
Of the bill made 1t necessary TO check over
all of the bills allowed Mr.. Munro to make
sure there was no duplication.
The commissioners have denied the appli
cation of H. p Hansen for a license to g
saloon at Fifty-slxth and Center streets al
the request of Mr. Hansen himself. After
he had applied for the license protest
was filed on the grounds he had violated th'
law IN the past. The hearing was to have
come up Saturday. but Mr.. Hansen reported
he had sold the saloon and in order tina
the license money might be returned Il
him he asks the license be denied him,
