THAT COOK STORY MADE
 HIM YAWN
He Yawned So Hard that Doctors Chloroformed
 Him to Get Jaw Back

Edward F. Bradmiller aged S5, sim gle, a boarder at AS Howard avenue, sat up late last Saturday night hear ing his fellow boarders discuss the Cook-Peary controversy. He was not much interested. but out of courtesy he tried to appear as deeply interest ed as possible.
 But if Peary is on the level, why doesn't he submit his proofs to the same people that Cook sent his docu- ments to for inspection ?'' demanded the Cook supporter, for the seventh time in half an hour.
 This was too much, and Bradmiller allowed his jaws to relax into a yawn- It was not the common or garden variety of yawn in which one allows ones jaw and fauces to relax mo- mentarily. BradrnilIer had restrained his drowsiness so long that when he did indulge in an expression of wear mess, he opened his jaws to amazing width. Then he decided to close his mouth, but his under jaw was stuck. It wouldn't work. It had settled com fortably on his chest, and was set there rigidly.
 Bradmiller grunted a few inarticu- late syllables to call the attention of h-s compan- ons to his plight. One of them ascertained from Bradmiller's frantic gestures that he couldn't close his mouth so he grasped his under jaw firmly and tried to help out. He and Bradmiller together forced the jaw nearly in position, but not without great Suff ering on the part of the long patient listener.
 Since then Bradmiller's jaw had been so sore that he had been unable to chew. He lived upon milk, eggs and other diet that didn't require mas tication, but this morning after a full week had passed, he decided it was time to seek relief.
 Dr. Krause of the emergency hospi- tai found Bradmiller able to talk with difficulty, and on examination of the jaw, he found it had been so long disIocated that it had become set in a new position. He was obliged to the patient to get the jaw back in place.

TEDDY REFUSES TAME SPORT OF
 W0ODCOCK HUNT
Declines Invitation of Elm peror Josef to Bag Game
 at Royal Preserves

| (By a Staff Cores. of United Press. Vienna, April 16-From charging elephants and rIlinos to inoffensiye
 woodcocks proved too big a transition
 for Colonel Roosevelt, who today re-
 fused an invitation from Emperor
 Franz Josef to try his hand at the
 latter sort of game at the Royal pre-
 serves. The Colonel pleaded an aI-
 ready filled program of events in de-
 clin1ng the proffered invitation but it
 is probable that he looked upon the
 proposed sport IS entirely too tame
 and hardly in keeping with his re- cent exploits in the jungle. It is ad- mitted that Vienna's gala dinners 9
 when given in honor of such a guest as Roosevelt, are about as gala as any thing Europe can turn out, but despite the express indulgence in one last night he was chipper as you please this morning and ready for another hard grind.
 He did not leave the Kranz hotel until II when the Imperial auto cab called and took him to the castle. at Kreuzenstein owned by Count Wilcek. The castle was built in the 11th cen tury and is one of the most famous in Europe. The 40 minutes ride to the castle gave the Colonel a good view of much of the city and the surround ing country.
 Count WiIcek's castle is filled with ancient furniture and a collection of armor and guns that Have caused the Count a fortune. The Colonel was ClA1S44y 4ulGI6St0u III La6S0s E1G Q0- lighted his host with the knowledge of the Pisos family of Poland, of which the Count is a descendant.
 The Colonel will leave for Budapest tomorrow morning. at 2 o'clock.
 Ambassador Kerens was the host of Roosevelt at luncheon at the em- bassy. Foreign Minister Aerentha1 Baron HengelmuelIer and the Baroness former Ambassador White, Consul General Denby and other distinguish ed Americans and Austrians were also guests at this luncheon. A visit to the luncheon. The Emperor will give a court dinner for the Colonel tonight at the famous Schoenbrun Palace, to be followed by an entertain ment at the palace of the Margrave Von Pallavieini in the Joselfsplatz.
 Mgr. Pignate1li, the Papal nuncio at Vienna, called on Colonel Roose- vet today in the apartments of United States Ambassador Kerens in the Hotel Bristol. Neither Roosevelt nor Mgr. Pfgnatelli would disclose the nature of the conversation be- tween them but that it had to do with the RooseVelt-Vatican incident is believed to be certain.
 It is reported that the Monsignor visited Roosevelt at the suggestion of the Pope who has several times ex- pressed his regret over the breaking off of negotiations for Roosevelt to 1 visit the Vatican.
 The Colonel had just finished l luncheon with Kerens and a company l 1f distinguished guests when the ! 1unc1o was announced.

Ramsden, of Groton, died without being removed and without resigning as trustees, so that no release was petitioned to and it appointed Samuel Hemingway a trustee to take care of the matter.
