.NEGRO'S Love
FOR CHICKEN
Fondness for Fowl Resulted in Darky
Finding Big Diamond in the
craw of
Puliet.
IT AM WORTH s4oo
Value of Stone is Raised at Each
Examination and co'ored Man
is Holding it for
the Limit.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 23-Thomas
Lynch, negro employed by Plows
Candy Company, at its factory, 201S
Market street, last night said that he
believed he was the luckiest darkey
in ST. Louis. Yesterday, while prepar-
ing a "dee-lightful chicken, as he
terms it. for his lunch, he found dia-
mond in its craw worth between $400
and $500.
Lynch left the factory about IL a.
m. to purchase chicken. When he re-
turned several began joking him
about his love for fowl. When he cut
the crop open out dropped white
stone. He picked 1t UP and washed it..
Not being satisfied with the re-
marks of his companions that it was
an ordinary crystal, Lynch rushed in
to the front office of G. K. Lakeland,
manager of the candy company, and
laid his find down, laughing. Mr..
Lakeland owfered him 81 for it,
Say, says Lynch, if that am
worth 81, it might be worth more" :"
He departed Immediately for jewel
ers. The jeweler went Mr.. Lakeland
1924 better and offered Lynch 1925.
Say" said Lynch to the jeweler,
'if that's worth 1925, it may be worth
more" He departed. Lynch is still
holding the diamond, while its value
has now been estimated at s40o 1t is
said to be about two karats. Lynch S
love for chickens has agreeably and
preceptibly increased.

BIGGEST YARN
OF The YEAR
!
Evansville Chief Of Police Refuses to
Believe the Story of the Hypno-
tized Gums of the
Girl.
LEFT HOME
Missing From Houston for Over a
Year and Was Thought to
Have Been kidnapped
by Dentist.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 23.-A
mothers search of a year for her
young daughter in many of Che prin-
cipal cities of the country was re-
warded with success when Mrs, Elo-
ise Barrow of Houston. Tex, found
the missing girl at vincennes, Ind
August II, 1909, Dorothy Barrow,
aged IA, disappeared from Houston.
About the same time a dentist left
Houston. Mrs. Barrows presented her
evidence to the grand jury and the
dentist was indicted for kidnapping.
Efforts on the part of the officials to
find the couple failed and then the
mother took UP the search. False
clews took her to many different
cities, and when she discovered her
child, her little fortune is exhausted.
The girl told the story of her wan
derings. She declared the dentist in
jected something in her gums which
when she came to, she was completely
under his influence The girl says she
was taken to Lawrenceville, H., sew
eral months ago by the dentist where
he practiced his profession. She told
the authorities that the dentist often
gave her money, but told her If she
ran away he would cut her throat.
According to her story, she was sent
to vincennes by the doctor and told
to stay there until she heard from
him. The dentist, accNding to the
girl, is in Windsor, Canada.
Chief Of Police L. Covey said that
in his opinion the Barrow girl was
spinning one of the biggest yarns of
the year and that she was never kid
naped.

Nothing But Harmony in Illinois With
a Platform Which viii be
Paragon of
Gentllity.
oFFENsE TO NOBODY PERHAPS WILL DIE
Republicans in Session at Springfield
While Democrats Discuss
New School
Books.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept 23.-When
the republican state convention con-
Vened here today with Gov. Deneen as
temporary chairman, the braces were
set and the ways creased for the adop-
ton and launching of party platform
which will be the paragon of gentility.
Gov. Deneen delivered the key nots
address and tAere were no harsh words
for anyone.
The platform will follow closely the
outline of the governors speech and
will not contain a plank to act as
stumbling block to the convention.
The platform will endorse the nation
al administration and President Tafts
plan of tariff commission. Senator
Cullom, Speaker Cannon and all of the
Illinois congressman will draw an
endorsement, but it will be so worded
that none can take offense. Senator
Lorimer will not be mentioned.
After characteristic speech by
Speaker Cannon, calling for the sup
port of all republicans for the Taft
administration and tie acts of con-
gress, especially the tariff bill, the
convention adopted the platform.
Gov. Deneen was chosen chairman
of the convention without dissenting
vote Harry Converse of Springfield
was named permanent secretary.
State Senator Berry moved that the
temporary organization be made per.
manent, and it went through with a
whoop.
Discuss School Books.
EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,. Sept. 23.-
Illinois democrats will fire their first

public school children for text books
when they gather in state convention
here today.
A plank in tie platform demanding
cheaper school books will probably be-
come a vital issue in every county in
the state.

Bishop. a pioneer railroad builder in
New England. The family became the
heaviest stockholders in the New
Haven railroad. William d. Bishop,
the first, gave all his children large
fortunes years before his death and
beoueathed them millions more. The
present William D. Bishop is mem
ber of the Reform, New York Yacht,
University, Yale and Transportation
clubs of this city; is scroll ana
Key" man and a lawyer. He aban-
doned his residence in Connecticut i'm
mediately after the separation.
STATEMENT BY BISHOP
"There is absolutely nothing to con-
ceal in my past domestic relations"
said Mr.. Bishop. But, on the other
hand, there have been several busy
bodies of the most despicable of all
types-anonymous letter writers-who
have been Fostering me with scandal
Gus letters. 1 think it is just to all
concerned that to set gossip at rest
my plans for the future should be
understood.
II want to marry Mrs. Valentine.
She is the only. woman in the world
that 1 want and the only one l have
wanted for a long time. cannot
marry her until Mrs. Bishop has di-
vorced me. fully expected her to do
so long ago. If the thought had come
to me at the time of the possibility of
such a situation coming up as now
confronts me / would have insisted on
q divorce instead of a separation. I
did not think then that I would ever
want to marry again.
Women are strange-at least Mrs.
Bishop in her present attitude is most
strange. Why should she want to hold
me to tie that means nothing to
either of us, positively nothing? She
could at any time divorce me and ap-
parently she will not. 1 am quite help
less unless 1 go to Reno, but Mrs.
Bishop would have no difficulty in
freeing herself from me. I know of
no religious or ethical scruples which
she may entertain against divorce"
The statement was made by Mr..
Bishop at the Miter, a summer place
between Glen Head and Cliff Side on

CURATE SHOOTS DOWN
CANON AT THE ALTAR
Priest at Vicenza Slain as He
Was Saying Mass

MILAN, Sept. 9.-Canon Neleghelli,
parish priest at a village near Vicenza,
was shot dead by his curate as he was
saying mass last Sunday.
The canon was actually on the altar
with the chalice in his hands. There
was a large congregation, most of
them being women, and the sudden re-
port caused a great panic
Four years ago the canon was sent
to the village in direct opposition to
the wishes of the people, who wished
their former and much beloved priest
to remain with them.
The dead canon was not popular and
his rule was considered harsh. There
were constant changes among his as
sstant clergy, and the author of the
crime was himself under notice. This
caused friction and the curate was
ordered to go into retirement forth
with.
He, however, borrowed a gun, loaded
it and hid 1t beneath his vestments,
and when the canon came from the
sacristy he fired at close quarters, kill
ing him instantly.
The curate ran for his life from
the church and was at large for some
time. His clerical dress, however, at
tracted attention, and he was ar
rested.

The TheaterS

Lewis S. Stone, Miss Eve Kelly and
the others of the Belasco company had
their first scenic rehearsal of "Such a
Little Queen" on the Belasco stage
yesterday. The entire play was gone
through under the supervision of Stage
Director Harry Andrews. The Chan
ming Pollock play, which has been Sc
lected for the sixth anniversary offer
ing of the Belasco, gives every promise
of being one of the most delightful
comedies the Belasco stage has ever
known, and the cast gives indications
of being an ideal one. The sale of
seats is of such proportions that AS
sistant Treasurer Joseph, who reigns
supreme in the box office during the
vacation of George Clayton, is at his
wits end to find seats for the regular
patrons of the Belasco who want to
attend the early performances of Such
Little Queen"
The sale of seats for "Seven Days"
at the Mason opera house has been so
exceptionally large that the manage
ment has decided upon playing a spe-
cial Wednesday matinee. The prices
will be so cents, rs cents and 81, re-
duction from the usual scale.
