HIS Mummiaed Friend.

Eben c. Chamberlain. famous scientist.

Eight years ago Chamberlain and his

agreement that II one died the other was

Through fear that a six-leaf clover he
discovered in the morning might mean
bad luck. Earle Dunbar. OF Myrtle ave-
nue., Jamaica. Long Island. didn't half
enjoy HIS Saturday vacation last week.
He spent the day wondering what would
befali him. and seemed surprised at sup
per time that the day had been produc-
tive OF no great event.
The finding Of a six-leaf clover is ex-
ceedingly rare. Dunbar. who IS twelve
years OF age. found a nest Of four-Ieaf
clover leaves. which means good luck. as
al not confirmed materiallsts know.
Presently he plucl1ed stem that had i've
leaves growing upon It. That filed him
with horror, as Il In ,icates bad luck It
would take all the four-leafed cloyers he
had found to Offset the baleful influence
o. the five-leafed clover He tore IL apart
and threw the bits in different directions.
Just then he discovered the six leaves
growing upon one stem. As his knowl-
edge OF the bearing OF clover leaves on
luck did not extend above the five-leaf
mark, he placed the six-leaf sprig in
water and displayed II 10 all his friends.
Few had ever heard OF a six-leaf clover.

BIEBER'S REMOVAL
THOUGHT UNLIKELY
Republican Committee VIII
Allow Him to Conduct
District Primaries.

Removal Of Sidney Bieber from the
Craftsmanship Of the board Of elections
in charge Of the Republican primaries
ia the District is practically Impossible,
according TO a statement made today
at the headquarters o. the Republican
national committee.
This information developed as the re-
suit Of petition from Andrew S. Burt
and John W. Patterson candidates Cor
delegates TO the Republican national
convention, that a subcommittee Of the
national committee, consisting Of Or.
Robert Reyburn. John &. Capers, and
Cecil Lyons, remove Mr.. Bieber.
According 70 the statement at the
committees headquarters, a subcom-
mlttee has no authority To make the re-
moval. Bieber was named by the full
committee on the recommendation OF
the subcommittee. There fore, he would
have TO be removed by a vote Of the
full committee. But as the committee
Is composed OF a man from each State
and is, therefore, a difficult party to
get together, it is not at all probable
that a meeting will be called in regard
to the Bieber matter.
The request for Mr. Biebers removal
came from Messrs. Burt and Patterson,
as result of the recent attack on Mr..
Bleber in the Senate by Senator Carter,
and the objection OF Messrs. Burt and
Patterson to his having control Of Drim-
airy matters when he is a candidate
for the place Of national committeeman.
and Is in favor OF the election Of F'laJh-
er and Homer, as delegates.
Mr., Bieber was asked this morning II
he had any comment 10 make on the
demand for his removal
