Moving Picture Trouble.

San Francisco, June 3O.-The
deadlock over the moving pictures of
the Jeffries-Johnson fight came to an
end tonight when representatives of
the two firms claiming equal interests
in the concession formed merger.
An eastern company, known as the
moving picture trust, claimed to have
secured a half interest in the pictures
by purchase of the third interest of
Jeffries and the one-sixth share held
by Tex Richard. A local concern,
known as the Independents, was
equally entrenched with claim that
it possessed Johnson's third and Glea-
sons one-sixth of the privilege.
Threats of double set of pictures
and mutual injunction suits had been
made before the warning factions
came together tonight in the Office
of local attorney, who arranged a
compromise satisfactory to both par
ties. BY the terms of the merger
there will be one company and sim
gle set of pictures One of the ORR
ginal owners of the concession will
act as president and general manager
of the fight picture corporation.
which will have it's headquarters in

Nome Wants News.
Seattle, Wash, June 3O.-Up in
Nome where the snow hasn't melted
yet the fight fans are raising $4,000
to buy the long wire into Nome on
the day Of July and get the fight
by rounds from Reno. The returns
would be sent by cable to Sitka,
there relayed by cable to Valdez,
from Valdez to st. Michael by land
line with one relay and from St.
Michael to Nome by wireless. The
cost is small considering, but prac-
ticability of the scheme is doubted.
This news is brought by Tommy
White, prominent in Nome's athletic
circles, who is the camp delegate to
the fight. He has been instructed to
bring back a personal account of
every detail, no matter how trivial,
of the great battle. He arrived on
the Senator Sunday. and leaves for
Reno tomorrow.

tanned back in his home village that
he had penchant for the grape pro
duct. This accusation has been voiced
by Captain Bertram Dickson, who
made extensive journeys in Kurdistan
while holding the post of British Mil
itary Consul at Van and whose ad-
dresses before the Royal Geographical
Society have attracted wide interest.
Yes, I made an especial inquiry in
TO the problem as to where Noah real
ly landed after the great Deluge," said
Captain Dickenson, who now is in
London. "The Bible historian takes
the account of the ark resting on
Mount Arrarat from the Chaldean leg
end. which made 1t rest on the mount
aims OF Urartu, while local trad
itions-Christian, Moslem and Yezidi
alike-make it Jobel Judi, striking
sheer, rocky wall of seven thousand
feet which frowned over Mesopotamia
Common sense also would suggest
that, with a subsiding food In the
plains, boat would more probably

edge of the plain rather than on
solitary peak miles from the plains

There Is a large sanctuary at the

worshippers, who climb the steepest
trails for seven thousand feet in the

cination about 1t, with its huge preci-
pices and jagged, tangled crags watch
ing over the vast Mesopotamian plain.
"The local villagers show one exact
spot where Noah descended, while in
one villege, Hassana, they show a
grave and the vine yard where he was
reputed to have indulged freely in the
juice of the grape, the owner declaring
that the vines have been passed down
| from father to son ever since. 1t would
incline one to believe that local leg
ends are perhaps more accurate than
the statements of Biblical historians. u

ciety, however, has "sidestepped" the

SHOES GOING UP.
IL is Said That Automobiles is the
Cause.

Cause.
That every manufacturer and
reputable retailer in shoes will,
within a short time, be compelled
to advance the price of footwear
was the statement made by John H.
Hanan, president of the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers Asso-
citation, which held its annual meet
ing at the Hotel Astor. This ad-
vance, which will add materially to
the column now known as 'increas-
ed cost of living" is caused, Hanan
declared, by the use of leather in
automobiles and the vegetarianism
that is sweeping over the country.
Hanan declared the materials
used in shoes cost the manufactur-
ers at least 10 per cent. more now
than they did a year ago.
THE causes" he asserted, ARE
not artificial. The high cost of
leather is due to the automobile in
dustry, which uses so much high
grade leather in trimming automo-
biles. At least 100000 cattle hides
were devoted to that purpose during
the past year. The decrease of meat,
too, as food, has something to do
with the increase for where cereals
and vegetable products are substitu-
ted for meat, fewer cattle are killed
and fewer hides produced.
Under the new tariff, which plac-
ed hides on the free list Hanan de-
clared that the importations of
hides had increased rs per cent. to
5OO,OO0,0O0 pounds, worth $780,
100000. This, he said, gave the
shoe manufacturers a better grade
of hides from which to select, but
did not decrease their cost.

MASONRY SAVED HIM.

E. +. Williams of Kirkwood, Mo-,
has the following letter in a number
of the Corner Stone" a New York
publication:
Il have just been on visit to my
father, l.. J. Williams, whose home
is in Harvard, n. Y. My father serv-
ed in the Civil war as a member of
the 114th New York Volunteers. He
is a member of townsville Lodge, No.
464.
when war broke out the Entered
Apprentice and Fellowcraft degree
had been conferred on him in New
York. He went out in defense of his
country, without having been raised
to the degree of Master Mason. 1t
was his misfortune to be taken a
prisoner of war while at or near
Savannah. While he lay in the south
ern prison he communicated with
some of his friends in the north.
His lodge in New York, through
proper officials, got in touch with
Zerubbabel Lodge in Savannah, and
made the request that the Savannah
Lodge, as a favor to the brethren OF
the north, confer the third degree on
the Fellowcraft brother, l.. ]. viii
liams.
"One night my father was taken
frim his prison and conducted TO the
Savannah lodge room. 1t was a re-
markable occasion. He wore his be-
draggled blue uniform, token of his
sympathy with the cause of the
north He was surrounded by men
who wore the gray. All the chairs
were occupied by confederate Off,
GERS. They were on opposite sides
in a struggle of death, but they were
brethren. Then and there he was
raised to the sublime degree of Mas
ter Mason and acclaimed a friend and
brother by his enemies.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-01-19

But the more significant feature
of the story was yet to follow. For
on the same night my father escap-
ed from his prison and rejoined his
comrades of the north. I have visit
ed Savannah since then and looked
up the records of his raising. In red
ink, on the same page that records
the fact that the degree was there
conferred, is the brief annexation:
ON this night Brother Williams es-
capped from prison
II have talked with my father
about the matter a number of times.
When asked about his escape he al
ways smiles peculiarly. You may
put 1t down as an escape he told
me, but il wasn't an escape, strictly
speaking. For on that night some
men came to my prison. They put
me in a boat and carried me off
some distance. Then they deposited
me on neutral soil between the lines.
From there found my way back to
my friends. Who my rescurers were
have never learned. 1t is their own
secret and IL has never been disclos-
ed. But in my own mind l know
exactly to whom | may attribute the
escape in question. His name is
Hiram"

HE WAS A GOOD MINER.

There used to be a popular minis

known in Louisville. He was pastor
of one of the leading churches of the
city. He was built on the plan of
the late Henry George, whose motto
was, II am for men," This Indian
apolis preacher was what is called a
good mixer" One day he stopped
in blacksmith shop to chat with the
workmen. During the visit florid
faced man of prosperous appearance
came into the shop. He and the min
lister began chatting, but neither
knew the others line of business
They became good friends in a few
minutes. Finally the fiorid faced
man produced his card, which an
nounced that he was in the saloon
business on West street.
Come down to my place any
time" he said, land I'll show you a
good time"
"All right" replied the minister
"and, by the way, I'm running a pret'
ty good place myself. Come and see
me, and I'll show you a good time"
"Ill sure do that" said the other
But, by the way, where is your

he has never been defeated in any
contest, and makes all other birds
take water. And before he gets
through with them they usually pay
dearly for the meeting.

FALLS e5 FEET, KILLS COW.
Farmer Knocked from Top Of Wind
mill. Reviews Whole Life.

Bedford, Ia.-Martin Van Dersly, a
farmer near here, fell sixty-ive feet
several days ago, landing squarely on
the back Of a thoroughbred COW,
valued at 1875, and was practically
uninjured; the COW is dead.
Farmer Van Dersly was repairing
the top of his windmill when a sud
den shift of the wind turned the fans
in the wrong direction, which swept
him from his perch. At that instant
his prize COW meandered up for a
drink OF water, got directly beneath
him, and stopped. Her masters feet
struck her just behind the shoulders.
Her back was broken, and she was
ordered to be killed.
Van Dersly says his flight did not
last longer than three seconds, but
during that time his entire life passed
before him like moving picture.
While he was the cause Of the cows
death, he is confident she was the
cause of saving his life.

AMBITIOUS: CHANGES NAME
Feared Father Would Interfere
with Career.

Chief Judge O'Dwyer, of the City Court,
granted to Robert Lee Howe yesterday per
mission to assume the name of Branch
The petition of Howe differed from the
usual document submitted in cases of the
hind, for he had family reasons. and his
petition showed also that he was a young
man with ambition, which he feared would
be hampered unless he changed his name.
Howe lives at No. 30 West 21st street
He is twenty-three years old and a native
of Wellington, Mo. His father. Robert
Mitchell Howe. and his mother, Mrs Susan
Branch Howe, live in Lexington. Mo.
Four years ago. said Howe in his petit
ton, ne left his home. with the consent of
his mother, because of the unusually cruel
treatment to which his father subjected him
and also because his parent refused to send
him to school The young man assumed
his mothers name because he feared his
father might learn of his whereabouts and
interfere with his efforts to obtain an edu-
cation. He spent one year at school at
Springfield, Mo, and then went to the
Manor School, at Stamford. Conn, from
which he was graduated last June.
Now Howe has a job with the Hudson &
Manhattan Railroad Company, and appar-
emily he is making progress. Although he
knew that he could legally change his name
without the formality of applying TO the
court he preferred TO have it on the record
so that there would be no trouble In the
future.
