That night, while resting virtuously in his
Florida hut, noise was heard at petitioners
boat-landing. Said untimely noise animated
from the Sheriff and his posse. Said Sheriff
was bringing some reading matter to your
petitioner. Said reading-matter consisted of
warrants for the arrest of your petitioner.
The posse, however, were allies and volunteer
helpers of your petitioner; and they had
accompanied said Sheriff with view to miti-
eating the rigors of The Law.
To the said courteous Sheriff, and to the
friendly posse, your petitioner related the
events which had led up to this untoward cul-
mination: how the said Waldo had thrice
attempted to intrude upon privacy, when there
were miles and miles of public fishing all
around where his yacht was anchored Ocean
fishing, Sound fishing, River fishing and Lake
fishing.

quent outbursts of merriment-for your petit
toner related much of the conversation
between himself and the Vermonter, which
colloquy was not lacking in spice and
plquancy.
To the great disgust of the said Vermonter,
the Sheriff did not drag your petitioner off to
jail. Instead, he agreed that one of petit
toners frlends-the we'll known and var
iously capable Ed King-might go to Miami,
that night, see the Judge, and request permis-
sion for your petitioner to give bond at Fort
Lauderdale, near which the howell of your petit
toner is situate
The Judge kindly consented and while the
said Waldo was waiting in Miami, to see your
petitioner, fettered and manacled, brought in,
for durance vile, this petitioner was in Fort
Lauderdale, where his friends rallied around
him-the organs, Stranahan, King, &c-and
went on his bonds. One of said bonds was for
your petitioners appearance to answer to
criminal charge of aggravated assault upon the
high seas. The other, was to keep the peace
toward all persons whomsoever, but especially
toward one Waldo Clement,
The next time your petitioner went down to
his Florida place, the Sheriff had some addi-
tional literature for him. It was delivered
on the train, as petitioner was leaving for
Georgia. 1t consisted of a lengthy typewrit-
ten declaration, in which were set forth in
legal and impressive phraseology, the many
cruel outrages and batteries that had been COM
mitted by your petitioner upon the said Waldo
Clement.
Among other barbarous dongs. it was
alleged that your petitioner had pointed his
shot gun at the said Waldo, and had
fired upon him. Consequently, the said
cruelty treated Waldo desired that S.
900 of your petitioners coin might be
transferred to the ownership and keeping of
him, the said Waldo, as a salve to his wounded
feelings.

civil suit came on to be heard, in Miami, last

august tribunal did to it.

of law that affects the entire waterfront of

rights were altogether erroneous. Therefore,
petitioner was not sorry to try test case.
About the final outcome, your petitioner
never entertained doubt.

TURKEYS ARRIVE
BY THE CARLOAD
Housewives of Capital Need Not
Fear Shortage, Say Commits
sion Merchants.

Turkeys are coming to Washington by
the carload. They are coming in from
Maryland. Virginia. Pennsylvania, and
even from Tennessee. The local mar
ket will be well supplied. the dealers
say. and. in spite of the high cost of
living" will remain within the purchas-
ing power Of many.
Commission men anticipate no shortage
in large, succulent birds. They say that
there will be a turkey for every one
who wants to buy one. and probably
a few left over for the proper observance
of New Year. They do not look for an
OVer-supply, however, nor for any lower
ing Of the prevailing prices. The turkey
market, they say, will most probably
remain firm and conservative.
1t seems likely thai turkeys will whole
sale at 19 TO 30 cents a pound alive and
from l cent to cents higher when dress-
ed. This ought to make the retail price
about % cents or IS cents a pound for
the best birds.
The outlook yesterday, however, was
that this city would be able to meet all
the local demands without any material
advance in the prevailing price.
Turkeys are coming 10 this market also
from Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsyl-
vania. While the bulk of the supply for
some years past has been drawn from
Tennessee and Southwest Virginia, tide
water Virginia and the counties OF Mary
land furnish their quota.
The nearby sections, however. are
secured by hucksters who go from farm
to farm with their wagons. This makes
1t difficult to estimate what comes from
this source, as those so bought are dis
tributed directly to the consumers with

CONSIDER NEW
STYLES IN SABRES
War Department May Adopt Balkan
Fashion of Straight
Blade.

There have been received at the War
Department several sample swords such
Ss are used in the French and German
Armies and by the cavalry forces of the
allies in the Balkan war. These swords
are wholly unlike the heavy sabre with
which our cavalrymen are armed, being
much lighter and straight instead of
curved like the old Saracen blades that
gave the shape and type to the modern
cavalry weapon. The officers of the Cav
airy Board, now in Europe, are giving
special study to the sword. The board
was not permitted to get into the actual
theater of military operations, but was
finally, after a fiat refusal to allow its
members to go to the Balkan region at
all allowed to make observations within
e zone where much OF the hard fighting
was done.
Members of the board in brief reports
say that the cavalry charge with the
sword in the Balkan campaign has been
characterized by an entirely new method
Of attack. The old sabre stroke has been
displaced by the new idea Of the thrust
with the point of the sword.
The French and German swords are
as straight as rulers, and the points are
ground as sharp as possible. The cavalry
man is taught not to strike, but to thrust,
as he advances upon an enemy, the
theory being that he can do far more
execution with a sudden sharp thrust
than by the swing and stroke heretofore
taught in cavalry training, which ex-
pose him to a counter thrust of the
bayonet.
The scabbards of the foreign swords
are unlike ours in being dull blue and
rot the highly polished kind which glist-
ems in the sunlight and reveals the posi-
ton OF a mounted force to an enemy.
Among officers Of the General Stan here
II is said that the new straight sword
with the dull scabbard soon will be in
troduced in our cavalry service.

LIVES SHOULD Be
OPEN HEAVENS
Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe breaches
on Christmas Theme to
Congregation.

In the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church last night Rev. DR.. Wal
lace Radcliffe preached a Christmas
sermon upon The Heavens Were
Opened. He said in part:
The heavens are never entirely
closed. Always some CLEAN of the De-
vine Face, even though the skies be
brazen and the earth black with clouds
and passions. are seen. But the heav-
ems were Open and the glory of God
burst upon humanity. In the manager
was a child. In the sky was a star,
but in that star WAS the Infinite Light.
and on the child face the glory of
Jehovah.
TT was no common birth. It can
not be explained away. We have the
historic record of the angels songs
and OF the birth of the child. The
shepherds and the wise men have al
ways been coming to see, worship. and
OFFER gifts. That manager has become
the pivotal epoch of all religious his
tory. From that moment dates all
events. and that light has girdled the
centuries.
Through the whole being Of Christ, the
Heavenly beams shone forth in the very
presence from which evil skunk away and
in words which echoed with Divine au-
thority and works of the healing and
multiplying touch OF God, and finally in
supernatural sacrifice.
Men may die like philosophers, heroes,
soldiers, or martyrs, but Jesus Christ
died like God. Those opening Heavens
showed US the personality of God. For
this personality men cry. A law, power,
or force do not satisfy. We want the
eye, the hand, the heart of personality.
He that hath seen Me hath seen the
Father Jesus Christ is God in outline.
To our eyes He also is the face Of God
In this come to US the character Of God
Men are always ready to applaud the
perfect character but too often forget
the fullness of its message. As Christ
was. God is. This is the continual an
nouncement from the open Heavens at
His baptism: This is my beloved Son
in Whom I am well pleased.
LAS this Light dawns upon men and
nations, the beauty and grace and entity
appear. The heather god gives heather
ism, the Christian God gives Christen-
dom. so that in supreme and literal
sense the Heavens are open.
I'VE are what we are, because of the
Christ Light shining through US upon our
fellow men. We are the Christs to the
The true Christian Joy is this Heavenly
Light. 1t is not jeweled cross upon
the breast and passions within the heart;

HUNT FOR WOMAN
IN MURDER CASE
Chicago Police Seek Gertie Frisbie
in Connection with LOgue
killing.
SEARCH FOR MAN, TOO

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE police dragnet
| was thrown out over the South and
| West Sides tonight in an effort to To-
cate Gertie Frisbie, said to be the
mysterious blond woman" in the Logue
murder case. Through the woman, the
police hope to locate the msn-admitted-
| Iy a man with a criminal record and a
sweetheart of the woman-who is thought
| to have committed the murder through
triple motive-jealOusy, fear, and rob-
berry.
Information was placed in-the hands
| of Capt Halpin showing suspicious &C
| tons on the part of the woman. Two
years ago she was known in the South
Side levee district as the sweetheart OF
Eddie Tate, noted safe blower. When
Tate was sent to an Eastern peniten-
tiary, ''Gertie'' began TO lose her stylish
and neat appearance. About a year ago
she disappeared. Three months ago
Tate and two other criminals were pa
rolled. Tate was said to have returned
to Chicago. At this time "Gertie" again
appeared dressed in the height Of
fashion.
The police information is that she is
the woman who has been seen visiting
the office of Logue in the McNicKer Build
ing a number of times before the murder.
They are working on the theory that she
may have disposed OF some diamonds TO
Logue and that a quarrel arose over
a settlement
Prisoners Arc Released.
The police case against Stratton. Hamp-
ton, williams, and the other men and
women arrested in the fiat at 1876 Clifton
Avenue has collapsed completely. Cliff
ford Dysland and Charles Duffy, the two
men held as suspected chauffeurs of the
Stratton automobile on bandit raids,
were released to-day. Zella Reynolds,
also known as Edith Lambert also was
allowed her freedom. Capt Halpin an
nounced that Edna Collier and Mrs.
Harry B. Hampton would be allowed TO
go tomorrow morning. OF the entire
nine suspects only four will remain in
custody.
Stephen Doiza. the fourteen-year-old
office boy who was employed by Logue.
was largely responsible for the release
of the five suspects. Doiza was closeted
with Capt. Halpin for over two hours
One by one the suspects were brought
before the boy. To questions by Capt
Halpin, he said after each one had been
viewed: Il never saw that person be-
fore in my life"
Stratton, Williams. and Hampton are the
only suspects now being detained by the
police. The only actual charge against
them is that of having burglars tools in
their possession. OF the women, Mrs.
Toronto Jimmie johnson, alias LOttie
Longton, is the only one held. 1t is
thought that she will be released within
a few days.
