INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. IL.
Federal Judge Anderson is to-
day hearing the arguments of the
governments attorneys who are
making an effort to have the case

Washington for trial. The libel
charges grew out of statements
published in the News in connec-
tion with the Panama canal, dur
ing the last presidential campaign.
If Judge Anderson decides n
favor of the publishers the case
will end, although they could be
tried on indictments if they ever
went to the District of Columbia.

BOTH: BEAUTY SLEEP AND BEAUTY ASLEEP

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. O.
You've heard about a beauty
sleep, of course. Even mere man
has been told and has read vol
umes about that mystic wonder
worker of the gentler sex.
Beauty sleep? Pshaw! OF
course you know all about 1t. But
did you ever know of a beauty
sleep having it's picture taken :?
Well, here's the real thing caught
by the camera.
Sleep is a vague thing, say the
scientists, intangible, unfathom-
able. That may all be true; but
the picture shows as much of sleep
as could be gathered on one pho
tographic plate, and as fer beauty
well, take another look at the
picture.
Alicia Allison-that's very
pretty name for very pretty lady,
but not, as it happens, the name
of the lady asleep, because the
lady consented to let you see the
picture of the lady asleep, only
on the condition that you should
not be told her really truly name
s. Alicia, which is so to speak, a
nom de sleep of the lady in the
picture, has a neighborhood repu-
tation for her beauty sleeps.
Maybe it is just because of ALI

home are alt talking about Alli-
cha and her beauty sleep.
Very naturally, this talk reach

speeding out toward AlIicia's

the reporter. And swapping blue
grey eyes, apple-blossom cheeks
and laughing cherry lips echoed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IL.
DR.. WI Ting Fang, the Chi
nese minister to the United States,
today expressed himself as much
satisfied with his experiences
last night when he attended q
meeting at the Temple League OF
Spiritualists. From the moment
WI entered the structure where
the seanee was held he was all
attention.
One of the half dozen mediums
present startled him slightly by
informing him that a number of
spirits were lowering around him.
After the meeting had come 10
a close, WI closely questioned the
mediums regarding the mysteries
of the spirit land, and listened at
tentively to an exposition of the
spirtualistic doctrine, given by one
of the leaders.

Cpffey is wholly blameless for the

Cole jumped in front of the gun
an instant before Coffey pulled the

done as regards new manager for
the Nationals, but that decision,
one way OF the other, would be
arrived at within the next couple

Mr.. Moves is anxious to relin-

Cantillon has the inside track for
the job. with Harry Davis James
McAleer and Fielder Jones as pos

three gentlemen mentioned knows
the game in all its details and
would be given a hearty welcome

it is to be hoped that they will see
their way clear to reach decision
in the near future.
