Hole in Skull, Lying Under

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 8, 1908
Two men were found by the police
Sunday night, both With serious injuries
sustained in some mysterious manner,
One of them, Sigmund Prekop, foreign,
er, aged 26 years, may die. He was
found lying unconscious with fractured
skull and fractured collar bone, under the
Sixth street yiaduct late Sunday night,
by Patrolman Fred Kaiser.
The wound in Prekop's skull is pecu-
liar and may have been made by blunt
instrument, hence the police are investi-
eating. 1t is thought, however, that he
slipped and fell while walking. Prekop
has been unconscious for eighteen hours.
He lives at 431 Chestnut street.
Matthew Dempsey, 45 years old, sim
gle man, was found on Sixth street, be-
tween Wells and Cedar, with an injury

lieved to have fallen. Dempsey will re-

HARRY and EVELYN
HAVE QUARRELED
YOUNG HUSBAND WANTS RECON-
CILIATION, BUT WIFE IS AFT
Err DIVORCE.
LAWYER MAKES STATEMENT.
Counsel for Mrs. William Thaw Says
His Client Will Act
Fairly.
YEARLY ALLOWANCE OF $4,000.

NEW YORK, March 1O.--If the mar
riage of Harry K. Thaw and Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw is nullitied it will be be-
cause efforts of the husband to prevent
it have been unsuccessful, according to
a statement given out today by Col
Franklin Bartlett, counsel for Harry X.
Thaw and Mrs. William Thaw.
The statement declares also that there
is no truth in reports that detectives
employed by Mrs. William Thaw have
had the younger Mrs. Thaw under sur
Vigilance for months. Col. Bartlett said
today that no proceedings yet have been
instituted looking toward Il separation
of Harry K. Thaw and his wife.
THE matter is in chaos" said Col
Bartlett when asked if possible proceed
ings looking to a severance of the mari
tai ties had been started.
Evelyn Wants Separation.
'.There is every disposition on the part
of my clients to be absolutely fair and
just toward Evelyn Thaw and to make
liberal provision for her support, and
even more than that. Harry X. Thaw
has sought a reconciliation and has not
desired that his wife should leave him,
but she desires a permanent severance or
the marital relations. Any thought OF
espionage upon the young Mrs. Thaw
would be abhorrent to Mrs. William
Thaw and has not at any time been en-
tertained by her"
Will Return to Stage.
That Mrs Thaw will go back to the
stage is now practically assured: TO an
intimate friend she said the other day:
"Wel. it looks as if | will be among the
down-and-outs. so l guess it will be up
to me to go back to the stage"
1t is reported here that Mrs. William
Thaw offered Evelyn $4,000 year, but
that the daughter-in-law is holding out
for $4,000.
1T is $4,000 a year or nothing" re-
piled Harry's mother, and this is the
reason why the Nesbit girl said she
would soon be among the down and
outs"

BRITAIN HALTS JAPAN
NO ''IMMEDIATE ACTION" AGAINST
CHINA POSSIBLE.
England Calls Attention to Treaty Which
Prevents Hasty Move on Mi
kados Part.

TOXIC, March 10.-According to
well authenticated report the center of
interest in the Tatsu Maru affair has
been removed to London.
When the British government was in
formed of Japan's announcement that,
in the event of refusal by China to
entertain her demands, Japan proposed
to take immediate action" the British
foreign Office asked Count Komura, the
japanese ambassador in London what
steps Japan proposed to take, calling his
attention to the clause in the treaty with
Great Britain covering the question of
war between Japan and any other ma
ton. Ambassador Komura, being I'M
able to give definite answer, asked the
foreign office in Toxic for information,
which found the attitude of the British
government an unexpected phase in the
situation.
1t is stated here that the British gov
eminent is advising arbitration on the
question of the restoration of the arms
seized, and has pointed out the advisa-
biity of Japan admitting the moral side
of the question while doubtless technical
ly correct.
This new turn of events has created
deadlock here, and the foreign office is
now awaiting advices from Ambassa-
dor komura.

Two Types of Biographical Writing

Two Types of Biographical Writing.
It is an interesting fact in the his
tory Of literary genius that two Of the
great examples Of biographical writing
occur almost side by side. Less than a
decade separates the completion Of
Johnson's Lives Of the Poets" from
the publication of his own life by Bos-
well. Yet with the latter book a new
type of biography came into being.
Johnson, in the main. had, like most OF
his predecessors, followed simple mar
rative and expository method, prefxing
a plain story of the poets life to a sys-
tematic account of his character and Il
critical estimate of his works. He gath
cred his facts and impressions together
and spoke for the author and for him
self. Boswell on the other hand, max
inc use of a more dramatic method,
succeeded in his attempt to let the au'
thor reveal himself, and, instead of an
exposition of character. painted a pic
ture of personality to which his own
comments were subordinate What we
see as a type Of mind and character In
Johnson's work we see as living man
in Boswell.-William T. Brewster, in
Forum.

but they need conversion in a definite
manner.
"The child converted at 10 years has
much the advantage of man convert

may be saved, but his former life has
been lost in sim"
Last night DR.. Torrey delivered a
