CHARGE THIS MAN
WITH FIFTY WIVES

CHICAGO, Feb. 6-Harry ]. Bauman'
alias DIR. Herman Brandt, said to have
had fifty wives and to have swindled
women out of 200 in five years, was
sentenced to the Joliet prison today by
Judge clifford in the criminal court to an
indeterminate sentence Of from one to
ten years on a charge of swindling. De-
tective woodbridge, who captured Bau-
man, says he has evidence to prove Bau-
man married at least fifty women in Eu-
rope and America, robbed them OF their
money and values and deserted them.
Plans are under way by the states at
torney to obtain wholesale indictments
against Bauman on charges of bigamy
and more than 500 indictments on charges
of swindling.
Detective woodbridge produced in Judge
Clifford's court a list of nearly 200
victims and said others were coming 10
the front by the score each day.
Bauman, according TO information
which has reached the police is wanted
in nearly every city in the country.
Prominent men and women in Germa-
nv. italy, Australia and other countries,
Il is said, have been victimized by Bau-
man The police pronounce Bauman the
greatest o fthe age and the prince OF
all swindlers. Even the lawyers he en-
gagged to defend him after his arrest in
Chicago were swindled out of an aggre-
gate Of $500.
Bauman gave the lawyers worthless
checks in payment for services. Charles
Bradley, the last attorney to represent
the defendant. was given a worthless
draft for $780,
None OF the lawyers appeared I'm courN
when sentence was pronounced, all hav-
ing deserted the defendant.
At one time Bauman lived at the Au-
ditorium annex at an expense OF a hun
dred dollars a day. He had a mansion on
the South Side boulevard at a cost OF
nearly $1,000 a month and passed as q
man Of millions.

SENATE TO REJECT
GAG, FOR TILLMAN

WASHINGTON, Feb 5.-The proposed
gag rules, introduced in the senate yes
terday and aimed at Senator Ttllman,
will, 1t is believed, fail Of adoption at this
session. number of Republicans are
opposed to the new rules, while the DEM
ocrats generally are up in arms against
them.
With anything like united front it
will be an easy matter to talk them to
death, and this is the program at present.
The fact that the rules were proposed by
Senator Lodge, who is the president $
spokesman in the senate, vtndicates SEN
ator Tillmans assertion several weeks
ago, when he was informed of the pro-
gram.
He said that Mr.. Roosevelt and some
of his friends would undoubtedly like TO
muzzle him, bat they could not do 1t, De-
cause he proposed to criticise Theodore
Roosevelt officially" ri
He states today that he hasn't changed
his mind, and the public may look FOR
ward to a bitter excoriation of the presi-
dent between now and March 4th. Inc
proposed rule may hasten Mr.. Tillman
speech.
1t developed today that the South caro-
lima senator was bitter in his reference
to Mr.. Roosevelt the other day in execu-
tive session when the Crum appointment
was under consideration.
Senator Tillman Is said to have re-
ferred contemporary to Mr.. HooseVeII,
and once, with a great show OF nate. ne
turned his nose up, sarcastically mention
ed Teddy R-o-o-S-V-e--l-t, ana shln-

ABANDON CRUM?

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Republican
leaders of the senate are ready to aban-

in which event there win be a vacancy
in the collectorship at Charleston. 1t Is
ed whereby Mr.. Taft is to select some
stated that an agreement has been reach
man suitable to, the people of Charleston
for the position held by the negro, and
that Crum will be rewarded with gov
eminent position in the District of Column
bia. .s~s
Many Republican senators who are in
favor of the confirmation of Crum are
unwilling to block the business of the
senate In order to obtain the result.
Taft Has Been Called In
Undoubtedly Mr.. Faft's advisers have
been sounded in regard to the matter. The
story goes, If the issue were laid over
for Mr. Taft to decide he would see
that a man was appointed collector who
was not personally obnoxious to the peo-
pie OF Charleston.
A solution of the problem has been sug-
gested in the proposal to supplant Crun.
to the District of Columbia and make him
recorder of deeds of the district to sue
coed c. Dancy, also negro, of North
Carolina, who, it is thought, has been
amply recognized by being retained in
office two terms.

Corn Fritters.

Take twelve small ears of corn, free
them from all silk. cut the grains
down the center, and scrape all the
corn and milk off the cob; add two
tablespoonfuls of flour, two eggs well
beaten, pepper and salt to taste, and
mix the whole we'll together. Put a
tablespoon Of this mixture at a time
in frying pan with hot lard or but
ter; when brown, turn them and serve
them hot. If the corn is large 1t will
require three eggs; If very milky, a
little extra flour. 1t should be thicker
than pancake batter; a hot fire will
cook them in five minutes. They are
excellent for breakfast, and may be
mixed the night before. If wanted
for dessert put in sugar instead of salt
and pepper, and serve with your IA
vorite sauce.

SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS.
By Clarence L. Cullen.
~~~~~N~~~~~

When a woman looks just right in
bathing suit it's a sign that all the
other women call her a bold, brazen
creature.
The man who can't swim but whose
wife can, has to stand for a lot of
patronizing by his spouse during the
bathing months.
The woman who looks the most loll-
full and supercilious in a motor car
usually Is the woman who is the least
accustomed to such vehicles.
Familiar quotation: Now, l warn
you-if you go out this evening with
out taking me, you won't find me here
when you come back. Mark my words,
sir!"
There are slews Of pretty and agree
able trained nurses, but the only time
a married man draws one Is when he
gets sick away from home and picks
his own nurse.
The only way to get even with her
for squirming and wriggling when
you're hooking up the back Is to pull
that squirming number yourself when
she's tying your dress tie.
The woman who keeps her hair in
kids" nearly all day Sunday can't
understand why her husband Is so
choppy and so anxious to go some
where-anywhere-on his day of rest.
One Of those serio-comis effects Is
when woman, unconscious of an un-
hooked back placket, haughtily turns
her back upon rival and then looks
stunned and puzzled when she hears
the giggles behind her.
The woman who harps the most
upon the swell matrimonial chances
she tossed away to marry the man
whose name she bears is the one who
runs around in tantrumlsh circles IL
her husband even accidentally lets slip
the name of some girl he knew before
his marriage.

BIRD CASTLES IN THE ROCKS.

Ten Thousand Birds Live Upon =
Rock on the Magdalen Islands.
To see the other rock-dwellers we
must go on farther to the nortn.
From the Magdalens to the most
northern lands one will meet the
precipitous islands and headlands
tenanted by the hardy seabirds which
delight in sheer heights such as turn
most men dizzy. Great Bird Rock, Of
the Magdalen group, far out in the
turbulent Gulf of st. Lawrence, is the
most accessible from civilization Of
any Of the colonies of this sort, says
Herbert X. Job, in Outing. 1t almost
seems like mocker, though, to apply
to 1t the term accessible" 1t is a
question of degree, for even this Is
remote and hard to reach at its best.
Yet such place as Great Bird Rock
Is one of the seven wonders of the
world. If any one who truly loves
wild nature desires real and unique
thrill. by all means he or she should
somehow visit Great Bird Rock. 1t
towers from a stormy, fog-begirt
ocean, lonely, buffeted on every side,
exposing its towering cliffs to the al
most unremitted assaults of the ele-
ments
1t has been my good fortune twice
to visit this great castle of the birds.
The first time we went in a schooner
of goodly size, were left on the rock,
and called for two days later. The
next time, four years after, the vessel
failed to keep the appointment, and,
rather than give 1t up, we watched
our chance and ran out from the Mag
dalens in an open lobster boat. We
were hurled ashore by the surf on the
one bit of rocky beach under the cliff.
Hurriedly hitching on the steam-winch
tackle, we had the boat hoisted out Of
danger, and scrambled up the long
ladder 110 feet to the summit, where
we were Loyalty cared for by the keep
er and his family, who had received
but one visitor since the previous No
vember.
On the sheer walls of this precipi-
tous island, on the many lodges, live
some ten thousand sea birds. The
sights are impressive beyond the pow
er of any words adequately to de-
scribe. From below, as we approach
In the boat, we gaze upward with
awe at the circling swarm of the
birds, note the rows and companies
upon the lodges, listen to the screams
of the birds and the din of the surf,
which pounds away ceaselessly at the
cliff. Our boat Is plunging, in every
thing there Is motion, the height Of
the rocky wall Is appalling, and the
very universe seems to reel and stag
ger. And when, either by climbing
the ladder or being hoisted up by the
steam winch, we gain the summit
and look down, the scene is equally
impressive. From some promontory
of the cliff we gaze down upon hosts
OF birds upon their eggs. Some Of
the eggs we can see as the owners
launch forth and scale swiftly down.
