GAYNOR RAPS POLICE
FOR STRIKE ARRESTS

New York.-Mayor Gaynor, In a
dispute growing out of the activity of
the police in the shirtwaist strike. took
stand directly opposed to that as
sumed by Director of Public Safety
Clay OF Philadelphia. He condemn
ed the police for arrests of strikers, or
picketers, not disobeying the law.
The complainant was Lieutenant
Henry w. Torney, U. S. A. formerly
a West Point football star. He had
been arrested Just for being one of
the crowd" in company with Miss
Inez Milholland, Vassar graduate, suf-
fragette and champion of the strlk-
ing girl shirtwaist operators Through
promptly discharged in police court,
Torney carried his case to the mayor,
protesting against the action of Police
Captain Henry who caused his arrest.
Reprimanding the police captain
at the hearing, the mayor said:
ut is the business of the police to
keep their hands off people. No one
should be arrested unless guilty OF
some offense defined by the law. In
the case of strikers the business of the
police is to preserve the peace and
take no sides"

NEW RELIGIOUS SECT
PLAY WITH REPTILES

Nashville. Ind-Leaders of a new
sect, the Church of the First Born,
particularly distinguished by its
teachings that Christ was born under
an apple tree and that those that be-
due poisonous reptiles, were attacked
by scoffers while holding a meeting
at the Johnson township school house.
Rev. John Mcpherson was struck by
stone and seriously hurt. The sect's
preachers are accustomed to handle
snakes during their meetings, and the
charge that there was trickery in this
caused the riot.

PHONE GIRL VOICE
TARGET FOR CUPID

Chicago.-Chicago telephone girls
get married at the rate of about 1900
year.
Cupid thrives, it seems, on the me-
lodious polysyllable "dropanickle-
please" and as for the telephone
company's officials, it has long been
their plant that ''matrimony is the
bane of the service"
These disclosures resulted from an
investigation at the central exchange
following a dispatch from Washing.
ton D. C.. which stated that, accord
ing to an investigation conducted by
the government 92 per cent of the
telephone employees of the country are
unmarried.
The cry Immediately spread through
the city that ''matrimony is rare In
the telephone exchanges"
Matrimony rare? Hundreds OF
operators tilted their noses with scorn
at the thought.

amateur league and the towns OF
Weston, Athena, Pilot Rock and Pen

The Weston and Pilot Rock organ
izatons have already been perfected
and the Athena fans are to have a
meeting in the near future to form
the organization. Nelson reports
much interest in Athena, the town
which has the reputation of putting
out the best ball teams of any city of
its size III the entire northwest. 1t is
therefore evident that when the Athe-
ma spirit gets to working properly that
the town will be represented with a
team which will not be found at the

Athena will be the most fortunate
town of the entire league in many re-
spects. The new city park which is
being formed will include a baseball

THE CIRCUS IS STANDARD
AMERICAN INSTITUTION

Inc circus is familiar and standard
institution of American life. In the
country district its coming is eagerly
looked forward to as the one crowning
event Of the summer, and its tented
held is the mecca to which pilgrims
come from near and far. And vet the
inner life of the circus is as little
known to those who bask in its tinsel
glitter and its tawdry pomp as the
ancient life of the Etruscans might be.

how the accusing voice OF scandal

those who believe true love should

TULSA COUNTY UNAllOTEO
LANDS SOLD BY AGENT

Tulsa. Okla, Dec. 23.-Fourteen hun.
dred acres of unallotted Indian lands
In the western part of Tulsa county
was sold yesterday morning at the
government land sale in store room
recently vacated by the Globe Clothing
company near Second and Main. The
sale brought $4,000, which is one of
the best average records made during
the Indian land sales which have been
in progress for the past few weeks.
Fifty of the fifty-five tracts were dis
posed of during the morning, the price
ranging from $525, as the lowest, and
$176, as the highest. In no case did
the land sell at less than its appraised
value.
Buyers were present from all over
the middle west, though the unallotted
lands In Tulsa county were not nearly
so large as in other counties in which
sales have been held recently. Bidding
was brisk and those in charge of the
sale declared that the sale of the
fifty-fve tracts was good average.
The land was auctioned off by Sher-
man Mooter of Stroud, Okla. He was
assisted by J. L. Granger, w. E. wird-
nstone, w. A. Rambo and w. 8. d. |
Moore of the Indian land Office.
The party came to Tulsa from Sa-
'ulpa where for three days they con-
lucted the Creek county sale. Dur
ng the first half of the week, the land
sales totaled $4,000. Another good
'ale was held at Holdenville on De
,ember 16 and II, when $4,000 was
ealized.

plan to establish a parliamentary body

1--WE were informed in many cities
in the empire that the prominent Chi
nese regard the United States as their
best friend because of this country's
firm stand as to the integrity of China
and in favor of the open door policy.
Another thing that has contributed
largely to our relations with progress

the effective crusade against the

Ellnor eIyn And "Three Weeks. -

Miss Glyn has a great motive in her
book, which was purposely, or other.
wise, misinterpreted by hosts of read.
,ersi but, in her own dramatization OF
the story, she has left no room for
doubt, The moral strength and object
lessons are obvious te all. The play
begins with a prologue, showing the
home Of the Queen of Sardalia, and
applying a plausible motive for all
that followed in her life. The sad story
of this queen is of particular interest
to women who have comprehended and
understood her better than men. They
have wept with sorrow at her misfor
tune and sympathized with her in her
great love. This queen had glorious
motive for her sin, which cannot be
attributed TO Marguerite, Sapho,
zara, Camille or Lady Isabelle. And
