A RUMOR OF
ASSASSINATION
LONDON EXCITED WHEN UN-
TRUE REPORT is clRCU-
LATED.

LONDON, Dec. 18.-A vague rumor
that King George had been assassin
ated at Delhi, India, spread like wild
fire through London this morning.
Nobody knew where it originated but
it created immense excitement IN the
city and West End.
This was only allayed when a dis
patch from Delhi, timed 11.45 mid
day, was received simply announcing
the carrying out of the royal program
and not mentioning any untoward in
cident.
The reports of fires in the Delhi
durbar camp had ben so grossly ex-
aggerated and the disaffection among
small section of the Indian natives
had ben brought so prominently to
public notice in the newspapers that
it was felt almost anything might
happen during the sojourn Of the
king emperor is India.

VERY NEAR A
Sc l0US HURT
OFFSET IN THE WALK NEAR
WOODBRIDGE CORNER CAUs-
ES SEVERAL FALLS.

The Offset in the walk at the VOL
bridge corner, Garden and Seventh
streets, caused several falls Monday
night, one of which came very near
being a serious injury to Mrs. 7 l.
Cunningham. Her left arm was bad
ly bruised between the wrist and ell
bow.
There were nmber of others who
fell or stumbled there is the early
part of the evening before the street
lights came on which was delayed
until after nine o'clock on account of
a defective boiler.
There is a similar Offset in the
walk on the opposite side of the
street at the Dixie Theatre corner
and both are rather dangerous during
crowded conditions of the streets at
night such as are likely to obtain dur
ing the remainder of this week.

BRISTOL, Va, Dec. 19.-Tonight
it is unofficially stated that about
one thousand indictments have been
returned in Lee county, Va, by the
special grand jury that is investi-
eating the alleged wholesale corrup-
ton of the electorate of that county.
The grand jury proceedings are be-
ing carefully guarded, but the entire
county is shaken from center to cir
conference and the end Of the invs-
tigation is not yet in sight.
Judge Skeen will adjourn the grand
jury for Christmas this week, but at
least two weeks will be consumed af-
ter Christmas in probing further into
the alleged boodling. 1t develops
that Bristol mail order liquor deal
ers have been before Judge Skeen's
jury testifying as to large shipments
of liquor two days before the last
election. Their testimony would
tend to show that liquor was about as
potential a factor in elections as
money. They told of large shipments
made up of pints and half pints of
liquor, consigned to leaders at the
various voting precincts of two of
the counties in Judge Skeen's cir
cult. Judge Skeen remained in the
court room all day today.
The foreman came out of the grand
Jury room and consulted him fire.

This information is vouchsafed in

GAME PROTECTION
AND PROPAGATION
ISSUE BULLETIN
WILL DEAL WITH ALL TIE AC-
INVITES Of THE ASSOCIA-
TON.
PURPOSES OF THE ORGANIZATION
Needs the Support and Help of
Sportsmen and Those Who Are
Interested In Game-Resuts in No
Other Way.

With the first bulletin, which has
just been issued by the American
Game Protective and Propagation
Association, of Ill Broadway, New
York, comes the announcement that
it has been decided to put out similar
pamphlets at frequent intervals.
These will deal with all the dctivi
ties of the Association, telling what
has been accomplished by it's special
agents in the way of bringing to JUS
tice yiolators of the game laws;
what has been done for better legisla-
ton in the different states; how
many members have ben enrolled;
and the condition of the nances.
1t is intended that these bulletins
shall serve as reports to members
and all those who are interested in
the problems of saving our wild life
from destruction, and increasing it
through propagation in captivity for
the purpose of stocking wild covers.
The first booklet speaks of the con-
ditions out of which the Association,
grew, and sets forth the general
policy Of the organization. 1t comes
out fatty in favor Of; Federal legis,
lation to protect migratory wild
fowl; modern forestry methods and
the establishment of game refugees;
stocking the waters with game and
food fish and the enforcement of laws
designed to protect them; protective
laws and laws encouraging game
propagation along lines which shall
be for the benefit of all sportsmen,
the poor as we'll as the rich; hunt
ers license and bag limit laws; alb
solute protection for insectivcrous
birds; prohibition of the sale of ma
tive wild game; and all measures
calculated to preserve, protect or in
crease the game supply.
To quote from the book: This
country stands today at the parting
of the ways in the matter of field
sports. It faces today the question
whether free shooting shall continue
or whether the European system of
preserves and posted lands is to be-
come universal"
Needless to say the Association
believes in free shooting for all and
is working along the only lines
which will make this possible for
any length of time.
In another place the book says:
"The Association desires the mem
bership contributions and support
of all sportsment and of all State
and local organizations interested
in game protection. 1t has no rival
ry with existing organizations and
aims solely to further the common
cause, and for this purpose it will
cooperate with other Associations
in support of worthy objects. In no
other way can results be accomplish
ed than by effective organization.

Little Bedtime Tales m By sez= =Axsss

Above all else little Helen used to
love to watch the birds as they hoped
about on the branches of the trees just
outside her chamber window and al
ready she had made friends with many
a little feathered creature
In the early morning they would
come and sing under her window
and then she would quickly arise and,
throwing wide the window, say,
Good morning, my little bird friends"
and they would peep and chirp in
pretty answer.
But sometimes it worried Helen
just how these little friends OF hers
could get enough to eat. and although
she very often threw crumbs out on
the lawn, she felt very sure that only
a very few of the birds ever got them.
'How could she make it so that
they all would be fed?" was her con-
stant thought.

CHALLIS CHARMING
FOR STREET GOWNS

One is so accustomed to thinking of
challis as being suitable for children's
frocks, negligees, &c. that it is rather a
surprise to note its use for little street
and afternoon gowns. It is a pleasant
surprise. however. and the challis is very
appropriate indeed. since It is soft and
graceful and is as clinging as the fash
ionable fabrics are required to be.
Such a charming little model was noted
the other day-of delicate blue and white
challis-in one of the new striped pat
terms. The skirt was quite plain, rather
narrow and come up above the normal
waist line.
The blouse was made peasant fashion,
with the scant blouse and kimono sleeves
that are so modish.
Around the collar. which was cut low,
was a touch of heavy cream lace which
came next the throat TO relieve the
severity OF a tiny square rever-like COL
lar of black satin. A tiny fold of black
satin showed the line of the skirt as 1t
joined the bodice. and there was another
touch of black at the cuffs.
