"PETER THE PAINTER"
Authorities Believe Stowaway Is Fa-
nous Architect

Manila, June 6.-The Philippine au-
thorities are holding stowaway
found on the British steamer Protest
taus which arrived here today The
man embarked on the vessel at Sing
apore while coal was being taken on,
and it is suspected that he is Peter
the Painter" the Russian anarchist
for whom the British police have
been searching in connection with
the murder OF three policemen in
Hounds Ditch, of which "the battle
of Sidney street" was a sequel.
The officials of the British con
sulate here while skeptical that the
man will prove to be peter the
Painter are having him held pend
ing an investigation. The Protest
taus left Liverpool April 80 and is
bound for Seattle. For a time it
was thought by the police that Peter
was one of the two outlaws killed in
the fighting between the London po-
lice and anarchists January 30 last,
but later the man was reported as
having been seen at various places in
Europe.

WOmen's Royal Worcester
Arch Support Shoes
$500

Women are particularly susceptible to foot
troubles. The extreme styles in shoes which
they frequently force themselves to wear tend to
misplace the bones of the feet and cause perma-
nent injury. This is no idle assertion for hun
dreds of women have come to the Case Shoe
Company from all over the country for special
shoes to relieve and cure lame feet that have been
practically crippled by wearing shoes that are
anatomically incorrect.
The Case Royal Worcester Arch Support
Shoes lack nothing in style and artistic appear
ance. The arch support features do not increase
the size of the shoes make them at all UNI
wieldy. The large majority of women that have
trouble with their feet will find the Case Arch
Support Shoes exactly suited to theft needs
quickly relieving aches and pain Of the feet, and
ultimately effecting complete cure.

ONE.ARM MAN BEATS
E.LEGGED FOE

CINCINNATI, Oct. 7.-Prosaic
Judge Bode in police court dashed
to the grounds hopes which sprang
high in the breasts OF those who
ardently have longed for the ad-
vent of the white hope" when he
imposed a fine which sent to the
workhouse Jesse Dobson, a one
legged pencil vender, and Frank
Taylor Of Marysville, KY, a one
armed shoestring man.
Hey. you get off my beat!"
yelled Dobson to Taylor.
Your beat? Say, who gave it
to your" was the sarcastic come
back.
And then round one was called.
Dobson, minus one leg, came to
the scratch with a nasty wallop in
each hand, but there were those in
the ring of interested spectators
who opined:
DE guy wild de feet Is goin' to
win, you see. Sooner or later he is
goin' to slip a kick across on dat
guy"
Taylor's one-armed defense was
poor for three or four rounds, and
at the beginning of the last session
he came up groggy. Making a final
rally, however. he put one across
which sent the timber leg up in the
air like q distress signal with the
bunting ripped off.
At this interesting juncture
Traffic Patrolman Deters inter-
fered and the new "wbite hopes''
were escorted to cells.

Gertrude Hoffman,, High Priestess Of
Silent Drama, True Blue Yankee

SEATTLE, Oct. 7.-Gertrude
Hoffman is the high priestess Of
the silent drama
1t is no trick at all for her to
deluge you with joy and sunshine
and love, nor is II hard for her to
plunge GU into the bottomless
abyss of hate and rage and jeal-
ousy-all with few sharp. quick
gestures, a look here and a nod
there.
At the New Washington hotel
an interviewer found her just fin
ishing a late breakfast.
Did she know fatigue?
Mercy, no." cried the slight,
girlish woman. 81 haven't time
to be fatigued. True, do work
hard-if | didn't l would be ter
ribly miserable. A great many
stage people look forward to the
joys of easy retirement, l under
stand, but la-no retirement for
me, If you please"
The interviewer murmured that
perhaps Miss Hoffman is a bit
too young TO contemplate retire
ment at this stage of the game.
For what have gained l have
worked hard. And l am proud
of the Russian ballet. / am glad
that the people like it. There is
so much possible in the expression
of the dance; such a great unde-
veloped field of real dramatic art.
That is why | am proud that the
men and women of my company
have made their native art COM
prehensible to Americans.
No, Gertrude Hoffman is not a
Russian. She is a true-blue Yam
kee American. The tall, fine look
ing man whom you will see direct
ing the orchestra is Max Hoffman.
Brother or father?
No-husband.
