PaTis.-The probability that the
Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue

as an artistic promenade and a chill
dren's paradise has been strengthened
by action just taken by the municipal
council Of Paris. The council not

DOCTOR STARTS CRUSADE
AGAINST PESKY FLY

ST. LOUIS, April 30.-Therell be no
fly in the ointment If the recommen-
dations of Health Commissioner Bond
are accepted by the municipal assem-
bly,. Dr. Bond favors the passage of a
stringent ordinance requiring the
screening of every place and vehicle
in which food products are kept or
carried.
A bill which embraces DR.. Bonds
ideas is now in the hands of Dele
gate Taussig, who will introduce it
in the house within a week. The bill
applies to dairies, restaurants, hotels,
bakeries, confectioneries, groceries,
boarding houses, butcher shops, fruit
stands, candy carts and delivery
wagons.
Dr. Bond says he believes that pri-
vate houses ought to be screened, but
fears that any attempt to enforce this
might defeat the measure.
Dr. Bond regards flies as the chief
agency in spreading contagious dis
eases.
'"The contamination of food through
its exposure to flies is always a seri-
GUS element in the dissemination of
disea se," said DR.. Bond. Lunch stands
and fruit and candy stalls on the street
are incubators Of germs, which are
deposited and scattered by flies.
Science recognizes the fly as menace,
and st. Louis ought not to be back
ward in protecting itself.

PH|LANTHROPIST SHOWN
TO Be AN EX-BRIGAND
Libel Suit in Germany DiSCIOseS
Famous Author Also Wrote
Cheap Novels

BERLIN, April 90-Herr Charles
May, a millionaire philanthropist, au-
thor of pious books, and a most prom
inent personality in German public
life, has been proved to be Identical
with a notorious brigand chief who
perpetrated numerous crimes of Yio-
lence in the mountainous districts or
southern Saxony in his youth, forty
years ago. for which he served two
terms of penal servitude.
When these astounding allegations
against Herr May were made recently
by the trade union leader, Herr Will
liam Iebius, who declared his inten-
tion of driving Herr May out of pub
lie life, they were universally regarded
as malicious inventions, and Herr May
brought an action for libel.
The case was tried before the Char
lottenburg district court, and the tri-
bunal, consisting Of one professional
Judge and two jurymen, delivered
Judgment in favor of Herr Lebius on
the ground that he had proved the
truth of his accusations and that he
had served the public interests in re-
vealing the true character Of Herr
Nav in view of the considerable pub
lie influence he exercised.
Herr May, now an old man Of
seventy, Of venerable appearance, col
lapsed and wept on hearing the judg-
ECpNA
name and reputation. During the pro-
ceedings he declared if he lost the case
he would Immediately shoot himself.
He has been placed by his friends un-
der supervision to prevent any at
tempt at suicide
After undergoing terms of penal
servitude he disappeared and when a
few years later books written by
Charles May began to attract atten-
tion, no one dreamed of connecting the
new literary star with the former
brigand chief. With characteristic au-
dacity Herr May kept the same name.
His literary work combined various
commercial ventures, which brought
him wealth and fame and he entered
the Roman Catholic church. He be-
came conspicuous not only as deeply
religious man, but also as a generous
philanthropist.
AT the trial it was proved that be-
sides his well known books, Herr May
also wrote anonymously long series
of sensational cheap novels, in which
he described his own adventures as a
brigand chief.

BEATS MOTHER-|N-LAW
AND WIFE,; FINED S115O
Pollard Assesses Record Penalty
Against RoIIa Kyle

ST. LOUIS, April 3O-Like Lord
Byron, Rolla Kyle woke up and
found himself famous when Judge
William Jefferson Pollard of the
Dayton street police court fined him
an aggregate of $1150 on four charges.
This is said to be the heaviest fine
ever assessed in any minor court in
ST. Louis If Kyle should serve the
sentence which this sum implies, it
would keep him in the workhouse one
year and nine months. AS a matter of
fact, no man can be confined in the
workhouse more than six months on
any fines, however numerous.
OF this amount, $500 was for disturb
ing the peace of his wife; $500 for dis
turbing the peace of his mother-in-
law; $50 for wrecking part of her fur
niture and 500 for resisting arrest and
interfering with a policeman.
Kyle who is 25 years old, is a cab
inetmaker. He Is separated from his
wife, Lottie. Late Saturday afternoon
he went to his wife's home, 1901 North
Tenth street, and accused her of ac-
cepting attentions of other men. Ac-
cording to her story, Kyle chased her
out of the house and knocked her
down three times.
Her mother, Mrs. Charlotte Kasse-
vaum, who resides at 1901 North Tenth
street, ran to her daughters rescue,
and Kyle, enraged at interference,
turned upon Mrs. Kassevaum, and
Knocked her down, the woman testified.
Patrolman Kraus was struck in the
face, but subdued Kyle by few
whacks on the head with the police
mans revolver.
Kyle's excuse was that, as he entered
his wife's home unannounced, he saw
her emerging from a bedroom and at
the same instant he was struck on the
head presumably by a man. who es-
caped through a rear door. Both
women swore there was no man in

TEA EVIL IN IRELAND
is WORSE THAN BOOZE
Blue Book Just Issued Shows a
Lack Of Cooking knowledge

DUBLIN, April SO.-Some interesting
side lights on the life of the peasantry
are contained in the reports of the in
spectors of national schools, which have
been issued in a blue book.
Speaking of the teaching of cookery
on the Galway circuit, ]. P. Danton
says: "Of the many abuses that re-
quire correction, one in particular must
be vigorously combated If the race is
to be preserved from deterioration. The
use of tea is now carried to such dan
gerouS excess that it ranks before alco-
hol as an enemy Of the public health.
ITO aggravate the situation, 1t is in
the very poorest parts of the country
that the tea evil is most active and
hurtful. outside the slums of the cities
and larger towns there are no people
in tine British islands who have to en-
dure a more miserable lot than the con-
gested population of the Connaught
seaboard; and yet the carts and vans
of the itinerant tea vendors are to be
seen every day going in and out among
the most backward and inaccessible
Connemara villages.
"It Is only the cheap sorts Of tea
that reach these poor people; and, let
the quality be good or bad, the tea is
when drunk, has the properties of a
slow poison. The teapot stewing on the
hearth all day long is kept literally on
tap, the members of the family, young
as we'll as old. resorting to it at dis
cretion."
Mr.. Dalton suggests that the cookery
classes should spread a knowledge of
the right modes of making and serving
tea, and adds: 1.-THE class that could
popularize a few nutritious vegetable
soups among the housewives of it's
neighborhood would do more than any
other to promote the health and to
merit the gratitude of the rising gen.

ACTRESS SMOKES PIPE
AND ASKS WHY NOT?

PARIS, April SO-Women may smoke cigar
cites, and even cigars, almost anywhere ex-
cept in some American hotels, but people
usually draw the line at pipes. Yet pretty
French actress now appearing in one of the
Paris theaters is notorious among her friends
for smoking a pipe. She has been interviewed
on the subject, and her first words were:
why not? Why should anyone object%'
She was told that nobody did object, but,
nevertheless, people were curious to know why
she was so fond of a dudeen. 'Well," she
said, at quite naturally" 1t was not
so long ago when she had to play a part in
which she was supposed to be smoking a pipe.
She bought a very pretty meerschaum, filled it
with havory dry cut, and, to make It more
realistic, she smoked It, and found It delicious.
Since then she has continued to take pleasure
in her pipe, and though she longer acts
the part on the stage she likes it in her home

MYSTERY Wells DEATH
OF SERVANT At NICE
Marauder Thought to Have Been
Bent on Robbery Caused
Woman'S Death

PARIS. April 30.-When a wealthy
banker from Constantinople and his
wife returned after a promenade last
Sunday afternoon to the villa at Nice
where they are in the habit of passing
the winter, they found that their cook,
a woman about 80 years of age, was
dead.
She had been left for a few hours in
charge of the house as the other SER
want was taking her turn of the Sun
day half-holiday and when their doctor
had been sent for and the police COM
municated with, closer inspection re-
vealed the fact that there was no trace
of wounds, but that the wrists were
slightly bruised. AS there was no sign
that the lock of the street door had
been tampered with and as all the
ladys jewelry, although deposited on a
table in her bedroom, was intact, it
was concluded that the woman, who is
a native of Turin, had died natural
death.
HEART FAILS
The next morning, however, the bank
er and his wife noticed that the doors
Of the bedroom and of another cham
Der on the same floor had been tam
pered with. The police were informed
of this discovery and a fresh investi-
cation took place 1t is now presumed
that some person called at the house
and was admitted by the cook after
having shown a paper to her, as a
sheet was lying on the floor of the
hall when the corpse was found, and
the safety chain of the door was dang
ling instead Of being firmly secured. 1t
is thought that thief obtained admis-
sion and seizing the cook by the wrists
tried to bind her, whereupon she was
so terrified that she succumbed to the
shock-a case of heart failure.
What puzzles the police is the fact
that the thief, who seems to have made
his way straight up to the bedroom,
as nothing was removed from the
ground floor, did not carry off any of
the jewelry. In the total absence of
any other evidence it is supposed that
he was frightened by ring at the
door bell, a lady having called that af-
ternoon and slipped her card under
the door because her ring was not an
swered, and so fled through the garden
of the villa.
