part of the public when TheO-
dore, Jr., upon completion Of his col
lege course two years ago, chose a
business career as his life work, and
still more wonder was aroused when
he took employment in a Connecticut

Hard ON German Actor.

In commenting on the German stage
and German actors. after a visit to
Berlin, Sir Charles Wyndham says that,
while the German actors might be
capable character portrayers, they
could not give a proper representation
of a gentleman, being incapable even
of dressing like one. He said also that
the modern problem play was far be-
yond the German actors field Of vision.
A Berlin paper says that. while it may
agree with Sir Charles as to the gen.
tleman on the German stage, there
seems 10 be no good reason for the
criticism as TO the problem plays.

~tailors,' says the writer, but we claim

New Year Morn in New York.

New Year Morn in New York.
| Wow,
There was a roisterous, rolllcking, rump-

All night
Till broad daylight
And then everybody went to bed
To wake up with q head.
Say, Ii was fine
Knocking Nineteen-nine,
Joilying Nineteen-ten,
| And then
Well,
The morning after was horrible.
Two million lips were hot and thick.
a million tongues were dry
And ratified round in drier mouths
Whose temperature was high.
BY gum,
Everybody was going some.
There was a sound OF revelry-
A hundred million sounds,
And old n young
Blew out q bung
To go the New York rounds.
II was ray,
Gay
On the Great White Way,
While every side streeI turned out strong
To push the festal scene along
On, but they shouted,
And crowded and rushed
And ratified and footed,
And ate things and lushed.
They sang out the old
And they sang in the new
With a genuine little old
Hullyballoo.
Gee whiz,
There was nothing pazziz
About New York putting the Old
Out in the cold.
And giving the New Year
The welcome cheer,
Except-well,
The morning after was
Different!

Wins HIS FIGHT
FOR CONFIRMATION
Robert T. Devlin's Reappoint
ment to Office Is Approved
by the Senate

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Robert T.
Devlin, United States attorney for the
northern district of California, was
confirmed today for an additional term
The fight against him continued for
nearly two years and attracted much
attention. Devlin was opposed by Dr.
+. b. Perrin, one of the defendants in
the Perrin Benson land fraud cases in
California Perrin was convicted, but
the case was reversed by the supreme
court and during the administration of
President Roosevelt a special attorney
from the department of justice investi-
gated the case and recommended the
indictments against Perrin be dis
missed. Perrin fought against Devlin's
reappointment and, after the appoint
ment had been made, against confirma-
ton
The senate judiciary committee on
the strength of the showing made by
Perrin, voted to reject the nomination.
Afterward the case was reopened and
Devlin proved to the satisfaction of
the committee that the report of the
department of justice official on the
Perrin case had never reached him.

MYSTERIOUS FORCE
STARTS MUSIC BOX
Strange Happening After Musi-
cal Instrument Had Been
Mute Half a Century
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

PARIS Ky, April 25.-More than 80
years ago Dr. Edward Owings, leading
physician and wealthy citizen of this
city, purchased an expensive imported
Italian music box and installed it in
his mansion. lie was very fond of
music. and as the day of grand opera
and concerts in the south had not ar
rived. this was his only chance to hear
the works of the great composers.
One Sunday shortly after the pur-
chase of the instrument, Doctor Owings
wound it up and adjusted it to play
his favorite air, rested his head on a
table in the room and fell asleep. and
when found an hour later was dead.
The music box was left just as
it was found BY Edward and Thomas
Owings. the dead physicians sons, and
has never been used or removed from
the table where it was placed by their
father in the half century that has
elapsed since his death.
About 10 o'clock last Sunday morn
ing members of Edward Owings' fam
fly heard music coming from the room
where the music box was kept, and
when they entered the room they were
mystifed beyond expression to find the
old instrument playing the air that il
had played last as the breath left the
body of Doctor Owings.
A minute examination of the mech
anism of the machine failed to offer
any solution of the strange occur
renee.
