COMPARES PUNISHMENT
OF TWO OFFENSES

London, Dec. 12.-In a scathing
editorial appearing in today's issue Of
The Suffragette," Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst denounces the two sen.
tences recently imposed upon Elsie
Howey, a militant suffragette, fol
turning in false fire alarms.
"There is symbolic fitness about
this new scheme of ringing fire
alarms writes Mrs. Pankhurst. an
is arousing the public, which is just
what we want to do. The sacrifice Of
hundreds Of women and girls annu.
ally in the white slave traffic, sweat.
shops and kindred evils is the cause
Of our agitation We want to vote in
order to remedy these conditions.
"In striking contrast is the imposi.
tion Of the maximum sentence upon
Elsie Howey for ringing in false fire
alarms and that of an Aberdeen man
who was given Is days Imprisonment
for assaulting an S-year-old girl"

WALKER WHITESIDE
AT THE GRAND TONIGHT

Walker Whiteside, who appears to-
night as the leading character in the
great modern play "The Typhoon," is
one Of Americas greatest modern ac-
tors, and every one who loves a good
play and fine acting should see him
He has just finished an engagement
in Seattle, and the papers there are
enthusiastic in their praise of him,
It is probably the last chance Salem
people will ever have OF seeing this
great actor and 1t should not be ne

usually strong company, and the sale
Of seats up to noon today indicates
that he will not play TO any empty

1t has been noticed that dramatic
editors in practically every city Wis
tied by Walker Whiteside and his fine
company presenting "The TyDhoon"
have remarked upon the timeliness Of
the remarkable work. 1t deals with
the activity of the modern Japanese.
The story Of the play has big theme,
the Japanese obsession; give all for
Nippon. Mr.. Whiteslde appears as
Tokeramo, a young Japanese noble
man, who has been entrusted with a
secret mission Of great importance by
the Mikado himself, and in the unfold
ing of the fascinating story, Mr., White

effective impersonations Of a strangely

known, according to the critics, He

Fossil of Camel
Is Found in
California

Los Angeles, Dec, Zone of the
most remarkable discoveries in the
history Of paleontology in America has
been made by Professor Il, c. Stoner
Of the University Of California, in the
famous La Brea asphaltum beds at
the western city limit appropriately
named the death trap Of the ages.
Stoner. who for months has been eX'
cavating strange fossils Of the quar-
ternary period, came upon the perfect
skull and nearly the whole skeleton
of gigantic camel of the pleistocene
age.
There is no previous record that this
animal ever existed on this continent
and the find is so interesting that
Stoner at once sent for two Of the
greatest experts to make an eXamina'
tion. These authorities, Professor j, G
Merriam, head Of the Department OF
Paleontology Of the University of Cal
ifornia and Charles Hart Merriam for
many years head Of the biological sur
vey of the federal government agreed
that the animal belongs to the camel
family Of today.
1--WE have been getting deep in our
excavations said Stoner, "and new
fossils have been numerous, but we
have been able to classify them with
others right along, so there has been
no great comment but when we came
upon the long-nosed, narrow-headed
skull, different from anything ever
found, we were startled 1t was in eX-
cellent preservation, and when we un-
covered the yertebrae from the shoul-
der blade down to the pelvis, with
complete leg bones the problem was
practically solved. The animal lay just
as it must have perished in the treach-
erous tar where it sank"

tanned by any haphazard method, but
was the result of long and minutely
careful rehearsals. Before giving the
play to the public Mr.. Whiteside SUB
mitted the production TO the judg-
ment of two representative Japanese
residents in New York, inviting their
criticism as to every motion and ges-
ture Of the actors, and every minu-
tiae of the stage settings, furnishings
and atmospheric effects, 1t was only
after this special jury had signifled its
emphatic approval that Mr. Whlteside
felt prepared to submit this wierd and
unusual drama to the general public.
