THE REsoURcEFUL PRESS AGENT

VTILLIAM H CRANE, the actor. tells of a
" press agent whose ability was never ques-
toned, but whose habits sometimes caused his
employer uneaslneSS.
He is one of the highest salaried men in his
line now" said the actor and is connected
with travelling theatrical organizations When
| first knew hlm he was the promoter OF pub
lcity for the leading theater in one of the large
cities The manager of the theater never
smoked and never touched anything stronger
than sweet cider and he had horror of anyone
who addicted to the use of alcohol De
spite his aversion to drink, this manager seemed
always to get press agent who had that one
great weakness The man of whom l speak
was a Jewel when sober; but when the other
way he was useless
On one occasion the press agent was miss
ing for three entire days The manager had
asked for him several times, and finally told all
the attaches that if any of them saw him to tell
him he was fired that he needn't come back.
'One man did see him and broke the news.
The press agent was just getting over the cele-
bration He went to bed and had a good
nights sleep and the next morning decided to
go to the managers home rather than to have
scene at the office
"On his way to the boss residence he came
across a sprinkling cart, and was instantly
seized with brilliant idea.
"'Hey therer he said, calling to the driver.

"'There is money in this for you, he said to

driving up the street
The driver did, and presently came up in
front of the managers home Get off now
said the press agent, and go up and ring that
bell, and when the maid comes to the door ask
for Mr. Davis.
The driver carried out instructions and
within a minute Davis appeared. He
gazed out in astonishment and saw the press
agent on the front seat of the water wagon

miral Won Rooster, who gave an inter-
esting account of his recent visit Ia

came a festival of peace and interna-
tional good will because Americans be-
lieved in the peaceful intentions OF
Germany He also said he found the
general sentiment among Americans
was that the two peoples belonged to-
gether.
Prof. BENJAMIN Ide Wheeler, presi-
dent of the University Of California,
who is in Germany to deliver a series of
lectures, described his feeling on re-
turning to Germany after a quarter of
a century He said the American uni
versities were the best guarantees that
the two countries never could drift
apart.
Touching lightly on the naval devel-
opment of the nations, DR.. Wheeler
said the battleships in the hands of
wise and Just nations are messengers OF
peace.
Prof. Otto Giorke of the University OF

Bribery Charges Are Both at

men reported dying from the shock OF
being indicted for bribery in connection
with county contracts, and another de-
daring he would rather go to the penl-
tentiary for life than plead guilty, are
developments in connection with the
trials resulting from the recent graft
investigation by a special grand jury
The pleading of President Milligan'
an aged contractor, to misdemeanor
in bridge estimates, through his attor-
ney yesterday. and the indictments tol-
lowing were pathetic. After the attor-
ney had entered the plea of guilty, with
Milligan absent from the court room,
Mrs. Milligan took the stand.
Her husband, she said between sobs,
was a physical wreck, and within the
last four weeks she had found him un-
conscious in his bed, where he is now
confined. She begged the court to snow
mercy, since he had confessed his guilt.
John b. Waldock, another of the in
dicted men, is said to be at deaths
door. A physicians certificate gave the
information. According to his friends
and attorneys, it Is likely he never will
leave his bed alive.

MAN FINDS RUNAWAY WIFE
THROUGH L0QUACITY
WOMAN CHECKS BIRD AT RAIL-
ROAD STATION
Husband Recognizes Screeching OF
Household Pet and Waits for
Appearance of His
Spouse
tBy Associated Press.1

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.--The screeehing
of a parrot in La Sale street last night
frustrated the plans of runaway WlIe
and later the bird was a means OF
effecting a reconciliation between the
woman and her husband, Edward
Zarndt.
The couple were married a year ago
at South Bend, Ind. Among the wed
ding gifts they received was the par
rot.
When the husband returned home
from work last evening he discovered
that his wife had gone, taking a
satchel filled with clothes and the
talkative bird.
Surmising that she had left him to
go back to her old home, Zarndt hur-
ried to the LaSalle station. He searehed
through the waiting rooms, but his
wife was not there.
Just as he was leaving the building
he heard a parrot screech. The sound
came from the parcel room on the
main floor. Thrusting his head through
an opening his gaze fell on the bird
in its cage.
''Hello, polly" said Zarndt, pursuing
up his lips and making a kissing
sound. "Polly know papa?'
Hello papa; hello" shouted the par
rot, striking it's beak against the cage
IN an attempt 10 ESCAPE lIOlh 40 Pi'S"Ai

The husband had found the parrot
but where was his wife? He went tc
the Harrison street police station and
asked for assistance.
Detectives were put on the case by
Lieutenant Bonfleld and they decided
to wait for the return of the woman
to the parcel room. a Lake Shore
train would leave for South Bend al
10: 80 O'Clock.
Five minutes after the departure oil
the train Mrs. Zarndt came running
up the steps to the waiting room. Al
her side was man, who carried hei
satchel
The parrot was handed out to her by
the clerk in charge of the parcel room
and as she turned her husband grabbed
her by the arm. In the meantime the
two detectives had approached hel

screamed the bird.
The husband, wife and her com
panion and the parrot were taken tc
the police station, where a reconcilia'
tion soon followed Mrs. Zarndt de-
MED she was eloping.
