Cook q Professor of History.

Moscow university has a professor
OF history who is only a cook. The
university telegraphed to the minister
Of. education in st. Petersburg for a
cook to be hurried to Moscow The
operator made a mistake in sendir g
the message and the cook was a pro-
fessor OF history when he arrived at
MOSCOW. He protested to the faculty
that he knew nothing but pots and
pans, but while the Russian red tape
is being unwound he still holds his
professorship, though no one attends
his lectures.

When it reached the Baltimore post
office the postmaster said it had to be
delivered. Several of the experts were
puzzling over how that trick could be
turned when the mail carrier in whose
district a big hotel Is walked up to a
group around the man holding the let
ter and said. why. that's Sam Hoo

It was for Sam, who opened 1t and
learned that his friend wished to en-

was ready for him.

MUNICIPAL STORES
WILL Be LOCATED
Portland, Ore, Attacks High
Cost Problem from An
other Angle.

PORTLAND, Ore. Dec 22,-Attack-
ing the high cost of living problem
from another angle, the city council
of Portland has taken a hand looking
for the consumer. The mayor has been
directed by the aldermen to appoint
committee of business men to estab-
lish grocery and provision stores that
shall be controlled by corporation in
which the general public holds all the
stock
Profits of the business must revert
to the purchasers for they will be the
holders of stock. The committee of
business men named will set the plan
in motion and conduct it until perma-
nent officers are elected to handle its
affairs.
The resolution asking the council
to authorize such a committee was in
troduced at the direction of prominent
men of the city who believe the
scheme will land body blow on the
mddleman, who is now the individual
charged with sending prices skyward
That the plan is a radical departure
for a municipality is admitted and it
might not be taken seriously but for
it's sponsors, who are anything but WIS.,
ionary schemers The committee to be
named by Mayor Rushlight will be
made up of capable men of affairs
who will give their best efforts to max
ing the plan a success.
1t is intended to conduct the stores
in conjunction with public markets,
(which are soon to be provided for the
city. 1t is expected that branches of
the Portland stores will later be estab-
lished throughout the state provided
they shall prove successful here.

FILM DEPICTS RED
CROSS SEALS WORTH
Plot Woven About White
Plague Ravages-Shown
at Arcade Theater.

The story told in the special film.
The Awakening of John Bond" to be
shown in the Arcade theater in Rich
mond on Dec. 1928 is one of unusual
interest. At the same time it tells of
an incident that may occur any day
in any home in this city. During this
month the film will be released in
hundreds of theaters throughout the
country.
The Awakening of John Bond" is
in direct line with the campaign to
sell Red Cross Christmas Seals and to
fight tuberculosis. In this city the
salesfs being managed by the Wayne
County Anti-Tuberculosis association
and the seals are being sold in Rich
mond under it's direction
John Bond is the leading character
in the story which is as follows: Mr.
Bond. wealthy politician, ignores the
tenement inspectors warning to make
the necessary repairs TO conform with
the city's laws. and refuses his sup
port to the tuberculosis committee
"
will provide funds for sufferers of con-
sumption.
Living in one of his tenements is
the O'Brien family, consisting Of four
children. The oldest of these is George.
aged twenty-one, who is the only
bread-winner. Descended from con-
sumptive parents. the entire family is
aff with
ease, their wretched surroundings
hurrying them to an early grave.
John Bond marries and takes his
bride on honeymoon cruise on his
yacht. 1t so happens that George
O'Brien obtains employment on the
yacht, and during the cruise is taken
i'll. The surgeon pronounces him in
the last stages of the disease-tuber-
culosis. His condition arouses the SYM
pathy of the bride, who nurses the pa
tient daily. He steadily grows worse,
despite her attentions, and just before
he dies, entrusts his watch and what
little money he has to her for delivery
to his sister Nellie
Through her nursing, Mrs. Bond has
become lnIGCleu WIN tuberculosis. Ar
irving home she sends for Nellie and
gives her the brothers trinkets. Here
Nellie comes face to face with Bond.
and, recognizing him as the owner of
their wretched home, bitterly de-
nounces him, telling him that indirect
ly through his neglect, his wife has
contracted the disease. Bond tries I'M
successfully to place his wife in a sani-
tarium and is at last obliged to apply
to the tuberculosis committee for aid.
BY trying to bride the official he is
brought to realize the great good that
is being done by the association; when
confronted by his own tenement. now
in the hands of one of the commit ee' S
nurses. His awakening is complete
and he writes out a substantial check.

SUING Ex- GOVERNOR
Dispositions Taken in Case
Against Jas. X. Vardaman
(National News Association


JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 22.-The TAX
ing of dispositions in the case of the
state of Mississippi against exGov-
ernor James X. Vardaman was begun
today. The purpose of the suit is TO
compel Mr.. Vardaman to account to
the state for various funds he is alleg-
ed to have misused or misapplied dur
ing his term as. governor. The funds
involved are the executive contingent
fund, amounting to over $50, 900 during
the four year tenure, the Meridian cy-
clone relief fund which is alleged to
be short about $1,000, the whitecap
prosecution funr. the Spanish-Ameri-
can war fund and an alleged unla wful
bonds.
1t was this suit which occasioned
the recent speech in the United States
senate of Senator Percy of MISSISSIPPI
pi, in which he scathingly denounced
Ex-Governor Wardaman as an en-
beZzler. After the primaries last fall,
in which Mr.. Nardman won the con-
tebL W sutCeeu MI. IeICy Ill the Sell
ate, the latter announced that, though
his term still has two years to run. he
would resign to give immediate, force
to the popular choice. In his recent
speech, however, Mr.. Percy announced
that, rather than assume the respon-
sibility for admitting to the senate a
man so VIGOROUSLY unworthy as Mr..
Vardaman, he would continue to hold
his seat until 1918
Mr.. Vardaman has asked for an in
junction to prevent the hearing of the
suit. which had been set for trial here
in January. An interesting feature of
the litigation is the fact that Attor-
ney-General Hudson. who took the I'M
tative in the proceedings against Mr.
Vardaman, will retire from office early
next month, and there is much specu-
lation as to whether the new attorney
general, Ross A. Collins, who is close
personal and political friend of Mr.
Fardaman, will push the case.

SUFFERS
A RELAPSE FRIDAY
Accused Pastor Believed Dv-
ing-New Arrest Caus-
es a Sensation.
(Na,toral News .ASSociation1

BOSTON, Dec. 22.-The Rev. Clar-
cnce Richeson suffered relapse to-
day and is reported to be at the point
Of death as result Of the terrible
mutilation he inflicted upon himself
cal operation.
News that new arrest had been
made in the mystery surrounding the
death OF Avis Linnell. for whose muir
der Rev. c. T. Richeson is under in
dictment caused a sensation today.
The one man who the police believe
can settle the great mystery of wheth-
err Rev. Richeson was ever married to
Miss Linnell. the pretty music student.
is Charles Scroggins Pierce, student
at the Newton theological seminary
and close friend and former ROOM
mate of Richeson. He was arrested
last night and is held under bonds to
guarantee his appearance. He will be
questioned Tuesday by District Attor-
ney Peletier. The prosecution believes
he has startling Information regarding
the Linnell mystery.
Pierce has admitted that he knew
Avis Linnell and Miss Violet Edmands.
the fiancee of Richeson. He was the
first person that Richeson asked to
see after the latter's arrest on a charge
OF killing Avis Linnell. Pierce's ar
rest has caused a stir at the theologi-
Cal seminary.
The government officials have been
striving to secure Information of the
reported marriage of Richeson and
Miss Linnell to a direct motive for the
murder of the girl.
