A quick look out the door showed
that no one In the office across the
hall was looking. And then-this man
with no legs at all ran away. Out Of
the courtroom and up the steps he
went. and was u of sight in a few
minutes without even a cane to help
him on his painful way.
The court, returning, found Burke's
chair vacant. He called the cripple

would not help to swell the population

Chicago.-Darwin's theory that our

four-handed. since they could use their
feet as well as their hands, Is par

although she lost both arms at an

been given the opportunity to shout
with impunity the name of their choice
for the presidency.
Provisional President de la Barra
acknowledged his elevation to that
high Office in an open letter to the
Mexican people. In it he declares he
will not be a candidate for either pres
ident or vice president when the gen.
eral election is called.
On the motion to accept the presi-
dents resignation, 167 deputies voted
aye, while two of them did not ex-
press themselves.
In similar fashion the resignation of
Vice President Ramon Corral, now in
France, was unanimously accepted,
and similarly Francisco Leon de la
Barra, late ambassador to Washing
ton, was chosen provisional president.

lar mind vas the practical assumption
of military control of the federal dis

the city within three hours.
President Diaz' Letter.
President Diaz, in his letter of resig-
nation, addressed to the chamber Of
deputies, says: Il do not know OF any
fact imputable to me which could have
caused this social phenomenon, but,
permitting though not admitting that
/ may be unwittingly culpable, such a
possibility makes me the least able to
reason out and decide my W culpa-
bility."
Diax ls EuIoqized.
The one dramatic speech of the day
was made by Deputy Jose Aspe. In
introducing the presidents letter of
resignation, Deputy Aspe made one Of
the most brilliant o~ratorical efforts
with which the chamber has ever rung.
His voice was repeatedly drowned by
applause and the floor fairly shook
with the demonstration which followed
his peroration.
The speaker admitted that General
Diaz had been called to account for
his errors by a people who had pro-
crossed faster than the author of their
progress had realized, but he declared
the good that General Diaz had done
his country would live forever in his,
tory and outweigh his mistakes.

Her method of using a typewriter
Is very peculiar. She sets it on the
floor in front of her and takes a chair
a little above the ordinary height, so
that her feet reach the keyboard easi-
ly, and then she Is ready to begin.
When she wants to play the piano, on
which she is able to play a few simple
melodies, she has to use q s%tepladder.

PAS1lmE n0T FOR rncocnERS
st. Louis Ministerial Alliance Reach
Decision Baseball 10 Not Proper
Game for Them.

St. Louis.-It 10 undignifed for min.
listers as a body to challenge lawyers
to q baseball game.
This was the decision of the St.
Louis Ministerial alliance at it's
monthly meeting In the Y. M. G. A.
building recently.
DR.. Homer r. Henderson, pastor of
the Wagner Place Presbyterian
church. started the debate by offering
a resolution that the ministers organ
lie a ball team and defy the lawyers
to beat them swinging the bat and rum
ming bases.
1t was DR.. Henderson's suggestion
that the formal challenge be made by
the alliance and presented to the st.
Louis Bar association, the game to be
played for the benefit of the Post Dis
patch Pure Milk and Free Ice fund.
The Rev. w. Writ King spoke in OPP
position to the resolution.
while there is nothing inherently
wrong in the game of baseball" he
said, II do not think it would be digni-
fed for the Ministerial alliance to is
sue such a challenge. 1t might lower
our organization in the estimation OF
that very dignifed body, the Bar as
ISOLATION"
The Rev. T. F. Hagerty said that
he would support the resolution on
one condition.
IL believe in asking the Lord for
what we want" he said. For that
reason l must insist that the game
be opened with prayer"
While the alliance voted down the
proposition to issue the challenge 1t
did not forbid the members to organize
a team and issue a challenge on their
own account.

Vagrant, Dreadine Poor Farm, Takes
to His Heels" When Judge
Gives His Sentence.

Denver, Colo.-Thomas Burke, who
has lost both legs, ran away from JUS
tice Gavin's court, where he had been
brought by Officer Joseph Watson to
answer to the charge of vagrancy, and
has no yet been recaptured.
A standing reward of $40 IL offered
by Constable Jacob Simon Of the court
to any o~ne-legged, t~wolegged, three
legged or no-legged mar who car sue
coed In running down this unusual
Splinter, or who will give information
as to where the officer may find him.
1t was all because Burke objected to
going to the poor farm. Justice Gavin
took pity on him, as the unfortunate
man stumped his way into place in the
line of "vags," noted that both his legs
had been cut OF close to his body,
and decided that what Burke needed
was not punishment but refuge.
They tell me you get drunk and
can't hold yourself u2> and that you
fall over and hurt yourself" said the
court.
Burke delivered himself of an unip-
telligtble splutter of excited speech
which sounded much like denial.
Yes said the court, without un-
derstanding one word, y think I'll
send o out to the poor farm, and
not to jail. The officer here says
you've come to be a nuisance to people
down town, and of course that must
be stopped, but you can't be helped
by going to jail, SO the poor farm
strikes M as the best solution of the
problem. You sit down there in the
corner. and when court is over III

Our British cousins have been ac-

"To the Humbird Lumber Com

Mr. Fellow ssaid. There are several
reasons why, in my opinion. such an
institution would be successful. / I'M
derstand that the suggestion now is
to have the house something in the
nature of a clearing house to which
would be referred all issues of irri
cation securities.
In the first place, an institution
like this would do more than any
other one thing, 1 think, to eliminate
what we term the wildcat developer.
There is no denying that the east mas
become critical-the eastern man now
has some definite idea Of what con-
stitutes an irrigation project. while
two or three years ago he did not
have this knowledge This made pos
sible q great deal of loose speculation
on the part Of the so-called devel-
oper. The more critical the east is.
however, the better the condition. 1

merit in the west.
ANY irrigation project IN the west
worthy Of consideration at all can
stand the severest criticism-there
are many Of them that invite such
criticism-and with a banking insti

curities. the mere fact that the bonds
of any one project were offered by
this house would provide the strong

the fullest confidence, has made such

Mr. Fellows declared that the first
rule Of such a bank, if it came into
existence, should be that no project,
however promising, would be pro-
NOTED by the bank itself. He declared
that he traced the basic cause Of the
bond market disturbance to the fact
that many bond houses. seeing the
possibilities OF irrigation development,
ventured into the development field.
