MAY REGAIN TITLE
Peter schmitt Meets John j. Hahman
For State Pool Championship

Peter Schmitt, the Kenosha man who
held the state pool championship for
twelve years and then lost it to John
J. Hahman, a young Milwaukee player,
has secured a chance to retrieve his
honors and tonight the men will meet
at the Coleman and Perrigo Academy
in Milwaukee for the first of a series
of three contests. The games are to
be for hundred dollars a side and a
portion of the gate receipts. Hahman
was defeated by Schmitt in the first
match between the two experts early in
the year and the second match was won
by Hahman by large margin. The
present series will settle the question
of the state championship. Schmitt has
been hard at work for the past two
weeks and he is in shape to meet Hah-
man. The Kenosha sports seem to
think that Schmitt will find Hahman
easy in this series of games and that
he will regain the title which he held
for so many years.

Zion City Girl Shows Strange
Powers Alleged To Be Due
to Religious Fervor
SPEAKS CHINESE FLUENTLY

Medical experts, professors Of ancient
languages, and students are today dis
cussing the remarkable powers of little
Irene Piper, who has recently given a
demonstration Of linguistic ability that
is truly wonderful
The child is the daughter Of William
Hammer Piper, formerly an overseer of
Zion City, and one Of Dowie IS head men
for years.
Many scienticfc men have expressed
themselves as anxious to have an iDtelli-
gent explanation of the girl wonder
full power, as the language she speaks
is an ancient one, vet spoken with such
"a precision Of diction and accent that
all who have talked with her have been
left astounded
/. The first manifestation she had Of her
remarkable gift was on Nov. Il, 1907,
when she suddenly spoke to those about
aer in a strange language, and crying
out Jesus is coming soon, demanded
to be allowed to converse with China
man.
Mrs. Ida Rust, at whose house the
girl was visiting, took her to a Chinese
laundry and she Immediately entered
into conversation with the Chinaman,
asking him to come to her church and
accept salvation.
Moy Lee, to whom the child talked,
declared her accent perfect and that
her forms of speech we're so exact that
ten years study would not give the
average Occidental such knowledge.
DR., Piper talked freely regarding the
gift = his daughter had received, but
thought it too sacred a subject for any
thing but devout discussion.
:. The remarkable gift has affected my
daughter in many ways he said
The peculiar feature of it is while
Irene speaks this strange tongue she is
unable to translate into English the
meaning of her words.
AT times Irene has begun to use this &
unknown tongue ard for. the time De
ing seemed to have lost her knowledge +
Of English, we talking to her, but ap- /
parently she was unable to understand !
what we said =
It was suggested to DR.. Piper that he /
had just called the language an I'M
known one, while before he had stated
that Chinaman understood the girl.
The reason I did that, - he replied,
Z is because we have no way of telling
that the language she speaks now is the
same as at the time she conversed with +
the Chinaman. IF you could hear her,
however, when she speaks you would
say the tongue sounded like Chinese. +"

Bitter as was the opposition to An
drews as the detailed report of the
convention shows, there is no question
that the leaders of that opposition will
give the strongest support they can,
not only to Mr.. Andrews. but to the
republican party and to the issues
which they believe to be vital i'm this
campaign. Mr.. Catron. the most bit
ter in his opposition was the strong
est in his expression of complete loyal
ty to the ticket; while in the ratilica-
ton meeting which preceded the
evening session of the convention both
Judge Mann and Mr., Spiess declared
their determination with a sincerity
not to be mistaken, to support the
nominee OF the convention and to do
everything in their power for the sue
cess of the party in November. That
the personal feeling which exists
against Mr.. Andrews has not passed
away with the convention. and that
the opposition to the Andrews meth
ods still exists within the party, there
can be no doubt. Tonight when the
report of the committee on resolution,
| had been read Mr. Luna offered an
amendment empowering the central
committee to fill any vacancy which
might occur In the candidate for dele
gate. Whereupon Mr. CatrOn arose
ponderously and desired to know II
there was any hope that a vacancy
would occur.
Yet In spite of all this, in spite OF
demonstration after demonstration II
the convention today, the delegates
who made the demonstrations or
either side are plainly determined tC
do everything in their power to elect
Mr.. Andrews. because they believe tha
statehood for. New Mexico rests upor
the success of the republican party II
| November.
The outcome of the convention
therefore means a renewed interest il
party affairs; a renewed interest II
party management, 1t indicates thu
presence OF new blood within the
ranks of active working republicans
1t indicates upon the whole bettei
things for the party and better thingi
| for New Mexico. The convention from
party standpoint. from the stand
point of interest manifest, was sue
cessful; and II the result in November
Is not satisfactory from a party stand
point It will not be the fault of tn
men who made up today's convention
and who constituted the bulk, not o
its management. but of its yotinI
strength. The very men who wer'
loudest in their belief of the extrem'
weakness of the candidate are plainly
the men who will work hardest TO
| his success.
