MANN ON THE SCENE.
Police Judge Mann was one of
the first to step in between the con-
testants. He jumped into the fray
and pushed one to one side and the
other off the curblng. The crowd
which had gathered around surged
in between the participants and
after being once separated they
were not able to get at each other
again. Mann's hat was knocked off
in the scuffle, and someone placed
1t on Sapp's head when he: was
taken away by Coontz, but the
judge fastened after him and res

SAPP IN JAIL FOR FIFTH TIME
And SO Sapp is landed In Jail
again-for the fifth time-m DON
nection with the cause celebre. the
Jamieson-Sapp-Weart case, which
has been aired so much in the news
papers during the past month. It
was just a month ago today that
Miss Jameson was founding faint
ing in the e. P. Charlton s, 40 and
Is cent store on Riverside, between
Lincoln and Post, and was taken by
Sapp to the home of relative. She
was i'll for several days and al
though it was announced that she
would marry Sapp as soon al she
recovered her strength, and al
though the minister had even been
invited for the ceremony, she sur
prised the public by marrying Ar
thur Weart on the evening of Au
gust II.
Sapp has been in jail four times
previously, thrice before the en-
broglio of August and once after
ward. He has been detained a few
days and then released by Judge
Mann. Sapp says he is preparing
to come out with some startling
statements which will implicate
Weart, A. w. Files and others con-
nected with the case. Files, who Is
manager of the store, was at the
station q few minutes after the
fight, assisted Weart to the Elmer
gency hospital this morning.
ISN'T OVER VET"
"And this isn't all over yet" was
Weart's parting shot, when asked
as to the details of Sapp's insults
regarding his wife.
Mrs. Lottie Weart, nee Lottie
Jameson, was seen at the store a
few minutes after the scuffle. and
although considerably agitated over
the affair, she declined to throw
any fresh light on it at present.

should not be a quorum. This lack

CINCINNATI, Sept. 9.-Colotiel
Roosevelt is visiting informally to-
day at the home Of his daughter,
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. At Tor
renee station he left the train that
brought him to Cincinnati and was
driven to the Longworth home,
where he spent the morning.
Shortly before noon Roosevelt
visited the grounds Of the Ohio val
ley exposition, whore he was q
guest At luncheon. Later he spoke
in the Cincinnati music hall.
Hundreds of invitations were is
sued week ago for a reception for
Colonel Roosevelt at the Long
worth home this afternoon. -
The triumviratet that rules the
city politically-George B. Cox,
Garry Hermann and "Rud" Hynic-
ka-were hidden to the assembly.
What the former president will say
to them IS causing much specula-
ton and scores of Cincinnatians
planned to time their minutes at
the Longworth house in order to be
present when the trio arrived.
Roosevelt was asked IL Cox's
presence at the reception would
make any difference.
"You must not ask foolish kues-
TONS" was the colonels reply.
Roosevelt also refused to discuss
the attitude taken by William r.
Hearst in recent editorials in which
he invited the colonel to come back
to New York and help drive the
bosses out Of the state. ~
Politicians here are specializing
on the possibility Of a Hearst

Pretty and Pathetic Story of Jenny
Lind and Grisi.
Jenny Lind and Grisi were both ri
walls for popular favor in London. Both
were invited to sing the same night at
a court concert before the queen. Jen-
ny Lind. being the younger, sang first
and was so disturbed by the fierce,
scornful look of Grisi that she was at
the point of failure when suddenly an
inspiration came to her.
The accompanist was striking the
final chords. She asked him to rise
and took the vacant seat. Her fingers
wandered over the keys in loving
prelude. and then she sang little
prayer which she had loved as child.
She hadn't sung it for years. AS she
sang she was no longer in the pres
ence Of royalty. but singing to loving
friends In her fatherland.
Softly at first the plaintive notes
foated on the air, swelling louder and
richer every moment. The singer
seemed to throw her whole soul into
that weird. thrilling. plaintive pray
er." Gradually the song died away
and ended in a sob. There was ST.
lence-the silence Of admiring wonder
The audience sat spellbound. Jenny
Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into
the scornful face that had SO discon-
certed her. There was no fierce ex-
preston now. Instead teardrop glis-
tened on the long, black lashes. and
after a moment, with the impulsive-
ness Of child Of the tropics, Grisi
crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed
her arm about her and kissed her,

An Independent Element.


Carbon Is an elementary substance
widely diffused throughout nature. 1t
occurs uncombined In two distinct
forms or allotropic conditions-viz.
graphite or blacklead and the dia-
mond. which is pure crystallized car
bon. 1t Is. however, more commonly
found In combination with other ele-
mentary substances than In the free
state. United with oxygen, 1t occurs
as carbonic acid gas (CO2) and exists
in the atmosphere, in natural waters,
in limestone. dolomite and ironstone.
In combination with hydrogen 1t
forms the extensive series of chem
ical compounds known as hydrocar-
bons. 1t is also an important con-
stituent Of wood, starch. sugar. gum,
oil, bone and flesh. No other element
is so characteristic Of the plant and
animal world as carbon. In 17SS La
voisier showed 1t to be an independ-
ent element He furthermore proved
the diamond to be the purest form of
carbon and by combustion converted
1t into carbonic acid gas.-New York
