POLICE AND TROOPS
KILL TWO BANDITS
French Officers Blow Up Villa
With Dynamite.

Paris. May 1.-THE career of the
last of Frances notorious bandit gang
was dramatically ended when after
eight hours battle with police and
troops its leader, Octave GARNER, and
his confederate, Wallet. were blown up
by explosives in small villa at No
gent-sur- Marne, where they had taken
refuge ...
Shattered by shots of dynamite their
house fell in ruins when mellinite was
exploded under its, walls. The police
found GARNER dead and Wallet dying.
Wallet died on the way to hospital.
Five policemen were wounded in the
battle el .aa,. 49,.
When the bodies of the desperad0es
were dragged into the open the thou
sands of spectators pressed forward
and tried to tear them from the troops.
Automobiles were brought up and. the
bodies were thrown in, but for a few
minutes it was found impossible to
start the machines. In those few min
utes the police and troops had diff
Guilty in beating back the enraged
rrowds. Finally the cars were started
on their way to Paris.
Several thousand police, gendarmes
and Zouaves tried for hours to shoot
the bandits or blow up the building
with explosives. Three policemen had
fallen from the desperadoes bullets,
but though the villa was badly dam.

their own for hours and showed no
signs of surrendering.

been my pleasure to work with.
Their suppers, always gladly served
and good many of them, have
always been splendid. Without them
we would often have been at loss
to know what to do. The improve
ments made in the building, are a
big help and an attraction. The
drinking fountain is one of the most
practical things installed in three
years. The secretary's office looks
like an entirely different ROOM The
boys room could never have been
furnished but for their efforts. MI
merous other things they have ac-
complished.
The lyceum course, made possible
only through their efforts, has been
the best for two years, ever run in
any association, for the money. 1t
will be too bad indeed if it cannot
be continued. The net proceeds for
the past two years amount to about
$500. 1t can be repeated each year,
with equal success financially as
well as artistically.
Building Improvements.
During the past year no very
noticeable changes or improvements
have been made in the building.
The Overhauling of the roof was
the large item of repair, amounting
to $75. The placing of the fire es.
cape ropes and the fire extnguishers
cost about fifty dollars.
During the three years number
of things were done and furniture
and fixtures added. The gymnasium
ceiling costing $275, gymnasium APP
paratus $500, new lockers and locks
$l25, dOrmitory and barber shop
500, street improvements 5000.
The Ladies Auxiliary has added a
number of things, mentioned in the
previous paragraph. number of
other items such as furniture, games,
ETC., has also been mentioned, A
summary of these things appear on
separate sheet, with the report
you have.
The report closes with some ref
erence to the financial condition of
the association. Mr.. Deerhake hopes
that some day the association will
be lucky enough to obtain an en-
doWment fund.

MEMS BRAINS ARE SUPERIOR
Dr.. Spitzka Says Women Lack in Alb.
stract Mental Conception.

Philadelphia, May 15.-Dr. Edward
Anthony Spitzka, professor of anato-
my at Jefferson medical college, who
has examined hundreds of human
brains, declares that woman can never
be the equal of man in abstract men,
tai conception. .. s
Dr. SpitZkas examinations have
shown no notable difference between
the brains of the sexes, except that
the feminine brain is smaller and the
eonvolutions broader and more simple.
1.-The female brain" he says, lis usu-
ally characterized by smaller frontal
lobe. The frontal lobe is concerned
more with the abstract concept and
therefore it would seem that the male
is possessed of greater capacity for
abstract conception.
"The average female brain is small
er. less richly convoluted and less COM
pletely assured than that of man."

about that the most daring highway

This has had an effect. Several

found favorable opportunities have
left without stopping To look the val
Icy over. one man, il is said. hear
ing of these weird tales, stayed in
the city only between trains. 1t was
a little too wildwesty for him.
As 4 matter of fact. bold bad
man ran loose on the streets for sew
cral nights. He is now in jail await
ing trial in the district court and
will do no monkey business with a
gun for a few days at least. The

nothing to cause worry for those

The Long Arm OF Science

WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN signed the
Emancipation Proclamation he struck the shacklcs
from millions of slaves.
But group of college professors in Berlin, and
another in London are engaged in putting an
end to the awful torture and ensayement OF negroes
in the Kongo country in Africa, and the Peruvian
Indians ON the headwaters of the Amazon. These
men send out no proclamations, muster no armies,
fight no battles. They pour badsmelling stuff from
one bottle to another, putter about with beakers,
stills and flagons-and finally announce that they
have found way to make rubber in the laboratory
Natural products in the laboratory are called
"synthetico products Synthetic means "put to
gether., "Synthetic indigo put the indigo plan
tations out of business Synthetic rubber" is sure
to put the rubber plantations out OF business.
When rubber can be made OF starch, metallic
sodium, fusel OIL isoprene, butyric acid and few
other things, it will no longer be sought III the deadly
tropics where every ton of it costs life.
Automobile tires will be cheaper All rubber
goods will go down in price More potatoes will
have to be grown for the making of starch and the
honest farmer will do the work with corn-plow
which is now done by tortured Indian or negro
with machete.
We shall more of us be able to ride in motor cars
when this happens
The poor man will be able to afford waterproof
clothes with real rubber in them.
The long arm of science will unlock the shackles
Of the slaves of rubber in the tropics
And then, if the professors will only give us
synthetic ivory the "White Mans Burden may
be quite removed from the Kongo.

The Times Daily Short Story

"You tint got no dawgs," nod
ded the old man in appreciation.
The widow frowned. The old
man lighted his pipe. How
would you like to marry me and
never be lonesome no more, Wild
der Barnes?"
The plump, comely widow arose
and walked to the door. She
thrust forth her hand and counted
lone, two, three" up to 20. "Ah
Bernhard" she said turning, II
could put up with you the finest
kind, though maybe you are bit
triflin' and lazy. But / can't d.
gest them 20 no-account, hungry
dangerous dogs. Give 'em away
and I'll be good wife to YOU"
The old man sat in silent
thought, putting strong scented
smoke, signing now and again as
a man signs only when he weighs
a plump, comely widow in the
balance against 90 good lean dogs.
Finally the pack outside set up a
great yelping. He bounded out,
followed by the anxious widow.
1t was Bud Ellers, with new
dog, a white, hairy, fuzzy fellow
new to Coon ridge.
"Uncle Alb, I've brought you a
new dawg," announced Bud. "A
Scotch collie"
"Well, by dum," gasped Absa-
lom Bernhard. "They amt no
pups like that on this ridge.
Here, you, Caesar and Hamp,
make up with our new dawg."
There followed riotous, tu-
multuous introduction, while the
old man chuckled absently. Sud-
denly he recalled the widow,
frowning in the doorway.
"Oh, wilder, l guess that mat
ri-monial deal Is off. We got to
go home and show the new dawg
around"
AS the old man disappeared
over the hill. surrounded by the
joyous, jumping pack, the widow
sat disconsplately down to the
task of the five-minute production
of butter.
