Naturally when Oliver L. Splitter, a
Company, who has served six months
of a two-year sentence in a govern
ment prison, showed up yesterday in the
United States District Court with a
nice new pardon from the President
and proceeded to testify everyone sat
considerable enough to fall and disturb
him while he told the absorbing story
of frauds practised through many years
on the government by the sugar trust.
He says he has a lot more to tell and
his audience will extend from ocean to
ocean, albeit a small percentage of the
attentive ears upon which the oarrative
falls will be unwilling one enough.
Stirred to emulation by h feat Of
Pedestrian Weston, who walked across
the continent in los days. John Ennis
left New York Yesterday v the same
route. He is sixty-eight years young
and hus has a three-year advantage
of Mr.. Weston. But he Is COMPARE
lively inexperienced and IL he does not
realize his ambition of beating the vet
GRAMS record he will not have been dis
graced. The example of these plucky
men whose spar of three score years
and ten has beer completed should
cause the short street car hauls to
diminish in this country Inc make
correspondingly for general improved
health,
The manager of a boardwalk res
taurant in Atlantic City refused to
serve the loosely clad Duncans Sunday
night. He looked askance at their
flowing Greek raiment, and said they
would nave to put on some clothes be-
fore they could eat In his restaurant.
1t is altogether likely that the eccen-
tricly clad family have, long since,
become hardened to rebuffs in this
country. While planning their tour, in
deed, they probably foresaw sue treat
ment and its attendant publicity, and
that they would have been disappointed
had 1t not been forthcoming.
A temporary setback to the plans for
universal pence occurred yesterday
when both combatants in a Partisan
duel were wounded. A result so unex-
pected n revolutionary as this to an
affair of honor is almost unprecedented
in the French capital. TIL principals
had fought two earlier duels, which
might have been staged in any draw
ing-room, so conventionally bloodless
nate outcome of the set-to was acct
dental. Be that as It may, the French
authorities are likely to frown upon
the pastime If any more slips like this
occur.
OF the 300, 900 babies under one year
of 6 who die annually in the United
States, says a medical authority, the
lives of 150, 900 are n~eedlessly sacrificed.
They are tiny martyrs to unhygienic
conditions which might be remedied.
What a terrible arraignment of ma
liohui OiSSSiiCos diu OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
There would seem to be too much
hubbub over Conservation of natural
resources when this greatest of nat
ural - citizens-to-be = has
never been included in the policy.
1t is said that Mrs. Hetty Green, who,
by the way, denies emphatically that
she Is the richest woman in the
verdi" showed the liveliest concern
when h lost a suit yesterday involv-
ing the payment of $3.50. She said 1t
was the first time q jury had ever
returned In unfavorable verdict against
her. Perhaps Mrs. Green views her law
suit record as a sporting proposition
anG deplored the break In the string
of victories rather than the loss of the
money involved In the suit.
Newarkers have had little opportunity
to enjoy the "All Headliners' cast in
astral vaudeville which Is grazing the
heavens these nights. Solidly banked
rain-clouds shut off completely the big
double bill last night, which consisted
of a total eclipse of the moon and the
comet at its brightest AS in the Oft
cited case of split milk, however, it is
next to useless to cry over such a dis
appointment.
