SEARCH FOR BELLE GILMORE
Story That She is Alive is Probably
a Theatrical Frame Up.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-The search for
Belle Gilmore, who was reported to be
a i've and in hiding near Chicago, cen
tiers near Hammond, Ind.
A mysterious note left in a Virginia
hotel here, mysterious telephone calls
and the appearance recently in Ham.
mond OF a pretty woman who closely
resembles Belle Gilmore, have spurred
the police to extraordinary efforts to
locate the singer.
Meantime however, the report has
gained currency among sporting men
that the story of Belle Elmores being
alive. and in Chicago, was purely a
frame up for theatrical purposes.
The names of Attorney Robert +.
Cantwell and Jack Curley, the wrestl-
ing promoter, were mentioned in con
nection with the alleged scheme,
which is said TO be nothing more than
the impersonation of Belle Gilmore by
an English actress.
Both these men admitted being in
terested with f. S. Tobin, the attor-
ney in Philadelphia, in the production
OF Belle Gilmore. Cantwell said he
believed Tobin may actually produce
Belle Gilmore and save the life Of
Crippen.

NoAH's ARK STORY A MYTH
Noted Chicago Divine Calls It the
Growing Nature Fake.

Chicago, Nov. l0.-The browning
nature fake is the Biblical story Of
Noah's rescue of animals from the
great food. according to a statement
by DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Sinai Tenn
pie.
There may have been Noah,'
said Doctor Hirsch, but the inunda-
ton story is the most palpable sort Of
myth. Even if there had been the
flood mentioned by the Bible and
Noah really built an enormous ark
for the safe conveyance of the favor
ed people and the beats, 1t would have
been a physical impossibilty for such
large group Of living things to have
survived a voyage in single vessel.
The primitive peoples Of the earth
were as impressionable as children TO
day. They would easily give cred
ence to such a tale as that Of Noah's
voyage and pass it down to their chill
dren. But today we must accept II
only as a pretty fabrication"

Revolt Was Predicted.

\ revolt in Yucatan has been predicted
for some time by writer's in American
magazines who have undertaken to eX-
pose the conditions in that Mexican prov
ince. 1t has been said that slavery in its
worst form has existed and that the peo-
pie have been ground down to such an
extent that life was scarcely worth while.
Most of the natives in Yucatan are In
dams, the natives of that region. To them
We're added in recent years most of the
Yaqui Indians, who for many years kept
northern Mexico in a ferment. They
successfully defied the Mexican troops,
and their territory was practically indie
pendent until an overwhelming force was
sent against them, and the tribe was
scattered most of them being sent to
work in the hemp plantations in Yucca
tan, thus adding d dangerous element to
the population
The planters are said to sell men, WOm-

the women on the plantations as their
