ACTOR ASSAULTED.
attacked by Three Men in His
DRESSING Room.

When the performance was over at Louis
Coppersmth's vaudeville theatre at No. 10
Sd street on Saturday night. Coppersmith
told his bookkeeper to pay off the actors
and employees, and then went TO his dress
ing room. AS he was wiping the grease
paint from his face he heard the book
keeper call from an adjoining room: I
need $35 more for the printer"
Coppersmith dried his hands and fished
out some bills from his trousers pockets.
when three men entered the room, and,
while one of them pointed a revolver. an
other knocked Coppersnth down. Seeing
the loose bills, about $35 In ALL on the floor
where they had been dropped one of the
men picked them UP, and then the trio fled.
Fully an hour Later as Coppersmith was
chatting with friends near the bar, one Of
the three men returned, and. pointing a re-
volver at Coppersmith. said: I've come
back for the rest of your money" Morris
Green. the special officer of the place, struck
the mans hand with his club. and the re-
volver fell TO the floor. Green then seized
him by the throat. The man tore himself
away, however. and. bolting up the stair
way, disappeared in the darkness.
Coppersmith then went to the 5th street
police station, and Detectives Nelson and
Bishop were sent out on the case. For an
hour the three went the rounds of East Side
poolrooms. and in one on Eldridge street
Coppersmith suddenly exclaimed: There
are the whole three of them" One of the
trio jumped through an open window, but
the detectives pounced on the other two.
At the station house the prisoners said
they were Joseph Rose. of No. PSI East
4th street, and Henry Ehrenberg, OF No. 229
Rivington street. In the Yorkville police
court Magistrate Barlow held the men in
$500 bail each for examination Wednes-

SELDEN'S CHARGES.
Explains Why He Wants
DOOling Rem0Ued.

The charges preferred against President
John T. Dooling Of the Board OF Elections
by William B. Selden. the chairman of the
Cleveland Democracy, arc as serious as
they are numerous. and practically state
that he has kept the Cleveland Democracy
as an organization OFF the official ballot.
The case is now being considered by the
Governor, who has the right to remove the
Commissioner II the charges can be sub
stantiated.
Mr. Selden says in his complaint that he
was unable to get at the Official records
after he had been informed that objections
had been made to the use by the Cleveland
Democracy of itg name on the ballot. He
says that he was unable to find out who
the objectors were or where they lived.
Mr. Selden told Tribune reporter that he
had since found out that no objections had
been flied with the board to the use of
the name Cleveland Democracy on the city.
county and borough tickets. but that Mr.
Dooling had announced that there was
protest.
The charges further state that. although
a substitute name. Cleveland Organization.
had been given to the board in case the
protest was sustained. Mr.. Dooling arbi-
trarily and without calling a meeting. put
Barnard Nominators'' at the head Of its
column.
Another charge against Mr. Dooling IS
that he falsely certified the records when
he wrote that the objection TO the name
Cleveland Democracy had been sustained.
The board did not agree on this proposition,
and therefore the objections could not have
been sustained.
Although the petitions had been filed be-
fore any other independent nominations,
except Mr.. Jerome's. the place accorded the
party on the ballot is almost at the end.
instead of coming Immediately after the
regular party tickets. This is said in the
charges to have been unlawfully done by
Mr. Dooling.
1t is understood that other organizations
are planning TO bring indictments against
the Commissioner and that the Attorney
Genera! is investigating his administration.

WOULD YOU KNOW
 ABOUT $2,OOO,OOO STEAMER
 COMMONWEALTH

In a little book just issued by the passenger department of the Fall Riv- CT line. the splendor and magnificence of the new two million dollar steamer Commonwealth is pictured arfd de- Scrlbed in a most attractive way. Critics of the art of good printing have described this publication as a really artistic achievement. The beauty o1 the interior of the steamer furnished plenty of inspiration to the artist and he has given most fitting expression to 1t. The cover is charming ex- ample of the impressionist school of art. It shows an impressionist steam CT of gleaming white gliding over an impressionist sea of dreamy blue. The engravings are printed in rich warm tint of olive. The margin of each page is embellished with reproductions in colors of the steamers mural painting S and interior decorations.
 An excellent engraving of the Com monwealth proceeding at full speed oc- cupies the center page. On the last cover page is reproduced in colors the Commonwealth's crest, which is the combined coat of arms of the states of New York, Connecticut. Rhode Island and Massachusetts worked into a shield. The book of the Common wealth is indeed work of art and is a fitting exponent of the beautiful craft to portrays. A copy may be obtained by writing to D. s. Peters, City Pas seneer Agent No. I'll Broadway. New York City, enclosing six cents in stamps.

 Princeton. N. J., Jan. 23.-Fire which broke out at 1:30 this morning in the Terminal Restaurant and which threat ! ened to wipe out the business district of the town was gotten under control after hard fight Students joined with the firemen in fighting the fire. A bursting gas pipe and broken electric wires endangered the lives of the fire nghters. The restaurant was adjofned Dy several other large structures.
 All the buildings in the vicinity were or frame construction and a poor wa ter supply added to the difficulties of the fire force. A. tank containing 500,- OOO cubic feet Of gas was saved solely by the work of a student brigade.
 The electric light company fearing danger. turned off the current and the work of the fire-fighters was lighted only by the flames of the burning buildings.
 President Woodrow Wilson and Dean Henry B. Fine directed the impromptu force of student fire-fghters whose labors probably saved the entire city from destruction. Several students narrowly escaped death or serious in jury in their brave attacks on the burning buildings.

FREAK IN SEQU0IA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six
teen Years Severed From
Its Base.

Out in California there is tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from it's base,
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is Is feet in diameter. and the
trunk towers Is feet in. the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn .of by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
miscalculation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held its position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and it was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by
the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber. Accordingly, the
work was stopped and the giant has
remained upright, withstanding some
of the severest wind storms that the
state has known. held In its natural
position by its great weight

Minnows to Eat Mosquitoes.

The Islands of Barbados, which fur
nish many laborers to the Panama ca
nal commissioners, having long been
free from malarial fevers, it has been
decided to import supply of tiny
minnows, called by the natives mil
lions," for the purpose of waging fur
ther war upon mosquitoes.
1t has been discovered that this lit
tie fish devours with great avidity the
larvae of mosquitoes, and, In fact, pre-
fers them as a delicacy to any other
food. 1t multiplies rapidly and un-
questionably will greatly assist in ex-
terminating the peculiar breed of mos
quitoes which spread malaria.
One remarkable feature of this fish
is that it's young are not Matched from
eggs, but are born alive, fully
equipped and armed for the pursuit of
its prey. Owing to it's small size,
rarely growing over an inch in length,
it has no dangers from anglers. This,
in connection with its rapid self pro
ducing powers, should assist this va
riety to grow to enormous numbers

Great Force of Tornado.

The southern part of this country
was visited during the last spring by
several severe windstorms, and the
state of Georgia in particular, suf-
fered from the effects of one of these
tornadoes Considerable destruction
was wrought by this high wind, which
left many evidences of it's tremen-
dous power, some of them being of an
especially freak;sh character
The property of s. M. Roberts Is
situated about IL miles from Allan
ia, and his sawmill was directly in
the path of the storm. The wind
caught up one of the planks that were
stacked in the yard, carried it a short
distance and then drove it against a
large pine tree.
The plank struck the tree end on,
and with such terrific force that it en-
tirely penetrated the tree, extending
a foot or more on the farther side. So
powerful was the impact that the tree
was not splintered, but the plank fits
in it as neatly as though the work
had been done by an expert carpen-
ter.-Harper's Weekly.
