unable to do so on account of deaf

Chicago, Feb. 4.-One thousand Chi

against smoke. obtain evidence, swear

cution of offenders.
Prominent women formulated the
plan of action. They decided to di-
vide the city into districts, which shall
be watched over by clubwomen. They
will keep guard at their own windows,
and if smoke is emitted for longer than
six minutes from a single chimney
suit will be filed against the owner of
that chimney.

much concerned about this evil,' said
one leader, t'but they are too busy to
see that suits are filed. The women
have time to devote to it. and we be-
lieve that concerted action among
them will free the city from smoke.

ROY PORTER BACK HOME
Ottawa Boy Has Recovered His
Memory Except for Lapse.

Ottawa, Kan, Feb. 4.-Roy Porter,
who lost his identity and his memory
and only found himself after nearly
three weeks time when his father
met him in Memphis. Tenn, arrived
home with his parent Wednesday af-
ternoon. His mind is clear except
for a stretch of thirty-six hours from
Sunday evening, January II, to the
following Tuesday morning.
Porter took leave of young
woman friend at Cameron, Mo-,
where he had gone from Lathrop,
Mo-, Sunday evening. When he next
realized what was happening he was
in a Memphis boarding house. He
cCu.d not recall his name nor any
thing as to his past. He appealed to
the police and word was finally gotten
to his father.
1t is not believed that Porter was
slugged or drugged. No evidence in
dictated violence. Specialists ex-
amined him and pronounced the case
a nervous disorder brought on by
close indoor confinement at work.
Porter lost $50 to $175 and all
marks of identification while uncon-
scious, but he had $40 left and he be-
1ieves his memory gave away before
he was robbed.
When he applied for lodging at the
Memphis boarding house Monday
evening he appeared normal. His
inquiries as to where he was were
taken as jokes. Porter appears to be
in good health and wants to go back
to his work

Use Public Telephone.

New York. Feb. 4.-One hundred
and fifty members of the Bible class of
John d. Rockefeller, jr., of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church, attended the

ex-secretary of the treasury, and John
kendrick Bangs. the writer, were the
principal speakers. The Rev Charles
F. Aked. pastor of the Fifty Avenue
Baptist church, was POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Shaw during the course of his
speech said:
I'VE are only satisfied with the
highest ideals in public life nowadays.
We are teaching our public men that
they must not think, but must use the
public telephone to ask US what we
want done. If they guess what we
want done, we guess they get out. The
standard of public life is now much
higher. While at washington I had
the opportunity of meeting many
prominent public men intimately, and
I formed an entirely different opinion
from what the press reports would
have one believe. There is a constant
cry that the senate is corrupt, but I
don't believe it."

NONE FOR DAUGHTER.
William Croker Disinherits Her Be-
cause Marriage DispIeased Him.

Although he knew that death was
but a question of a short time William
Croker, wealthy Williamsport farm
er. refused to forgive his daughter for
having married Thomas Wilson. and
though protesting great love for her
cut her off without a cent, leaving his
entire estate valued at $4,000 to his
wife and a son and daughter. Numer-
GUS paragraphs in the will make clear
the intent of the father of Mrs. Wilson
to disinherit her, not on account of
animosity towards her, but on account
of hatred toward her husband.
There was parental objections to the
marriage of the daughter to Wilson
and the hatred seems to have in
creased as years passed rather than
diminished, and on his death bed
Farmer Croker remembered his som
in-law as an enemy and worded his
will so that he can not participate in
the distribution of the estate. The real
estate is valued at about 1000 and
the personal property is worth about
1000 more.

Is Successfully Grated onto a Living
Patient.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Doctors at the
Georgetown university hospital witness

The bones Of Kelly's knee were so bad

on am3utation.
In the hospital was a man about to
die. DR.. Vaughan obtained permission
from the dying patients family to re
move the left leg in the event OF death,
and it was decided that the knee OF
the dead man should be grated to the
leg of the living sufferer.
The transfer was duly made. The
bones were riveted together by slender
strong wire and the most delicate

the ligaments, caused the surgeons TO

a new record was made for the df-

Sara J. Hastings secured a decree
separating her from her husband. the
entire proceedings occupying less than
five minutes. Mrs. Hastings called at
the office of Clerk of the Court r. L.

her application for divorce; there was
a lull in the business of the district
court just at that time and Judge
Dana listened to the evidence and
granted the decree. just four and one
half minutes having elapsed between
the time the petition was filed and the
time when the divorce was granted
Mr.. and Mrs. Hastings were married
in Topeka in 1898 and from the petit
ton of the wife and the admissions of
the husband it seems that there have
been numerous serious TnisunderStand-
ings. An attorney appeared for the
defendant and filed a formal entry of
appearance. The petition of Mrs. Hast
ings states that her husband has a bad
temper which he does not control and
that he has compelled her to perform
labor beyond her strength, and has
abused her.
