MURDER OF GERMAN MAY PRECIPITATE
 MEXICAN CRISIS
Especial from United Press1

Washington, Feb. 12-The state de- partment, today, anxiously awaits further word regarding the reported assassination, by bandits, of W. Hans Angelmann, German plantation owner near Vera cruz, MexIco. If the official adVices confirm the atro- city, it is believed here that Berlin will demand that the United States hasten intervention to protect Ger man interests south of the Rio Grande.
 Because the Monroe doctrine practi. calIy forbids European powers protect ing their citizens. the administra ton 8 view is that it is up to- the United States to guarantee such protection It was understood. today, that Angle mann's murder may precfpitate a. crisis in Mexico affairs The State department would not indicate what action they would take until more de- tailed information had been received
 While neither Germany or England both of whom are vitally interested in Mexico because of great property holdings-have formally demanded that the United States outline her policy with regard to intervention, they have made tentative overtures. Such an inquiry. it was pointed out al the sta te department. was regarded as ndicatin~ a friendly spirit and a recognition of the Monroe doctrine.

Bright eyes are among the mos, fadiant of beauty's jewels. since the. give animation and light to the entire face. A dull eye means heavy, dropping expression a condition to be avoided by the employnas mt ot ex- rene measures on the part of the girl who would attract.
 A harmless and generally satisfac- :ory way to bring brightness to the eyes is to bathe them with a solution of boracic acid and tepid water. Put n basin full of tepid water as much boracic acid as can be placed on q lime. When it has entirely dissolved bathe the eyes gently. Do not be afraid to allow the water to get into the eye. as it will remove all inflam- nation and tend to make this impor- .ant beauty feature clear and bril- liant, at the same time giving rest sul and strengthening effect.

THICk-HEADED STUNT
Mccormack Couldn't Resist Hit-
 ting at Straight One.
Former Manager Of Philadelphia and Providence Teams Tells How For mer New York Player Lest
 Game by Stupidity.
By BILLY MURRAY.

The greatest play l ever saW--one that never was made before and hope never will be again--was pulled off by Bill" Mccormack. when he was playing for me at Providence.
 You fellows probably remember him as outfielder for the New York Giants, and when he played semi-pro ball around Chicago
 You know that most of the famous bone-head plays made are by smart players acting under impulse that they can't control, so don't think I'm accusing Bill of pulling a solid ivory stunt because he was in the habit of it. He wasn't.
 We were playing at Pro vidence a game that meant a lot to us, and we were fighting for the pennant. and had a good chance to win. The game was one of the hardest and best pitch ed of the year, and the score was tied when We came to the bat in the ninth inning. l don't remember ex- actly, but l think the score was one to one, and that we had scored our one early in the game and hung on to the seventh before Buffalo could tie 1t up, The Buffalo pitcher had everything, and it seemed as if we were in fair way to being licked and We couldn't afford to take beat ing. They came near scoring in the first half of the ninth, and I was wild to push over run in our half. and not give them another crack at our pitcher, who seemed to be slowing up and losing everything he had.
 The first man up for us in the nintk inning beat out slow luck bound- CT and the next one laid down sac rifice. Our two best hitters were com ing to bat-and I was praying for a single to finish the game. Mccormack was waiting to come to bat in case the hitter who was up failed to deliver safe clout, and was standing about half way between the plate and first base, swinging his bat and getting ready. He hadn't made hit that day, and the Buffalo pitcher seemed to have him on the string, yet like all players, he was confident that he could hit and was anxious to be up there.
 The batter smashed hard single down between left and center, and the, runner on second. who was fast, came tearing around third for the plate The left fielder headed off the ball, and although there wasn't a chance on earth to catch the runner at the plate, he cut loose the ball as hard as he could toward the plato without taking time to look or straighten up. The only chance he had was thousand to one that his wild heave would come somewhere near the plate. It didn't. The ball came on a line about half way be- tween first and the plate, so wild that the catcher couldn't reach 1t, and what we though was the winning run came over. Imagine my surprise to see Mccormack run at that ball. swing his bat and hit 1t mile to center field. The umpire, of course, promptly called the runner out for the interference, and in the next in ming they fell on our pitcher and hammered him all over the place, beating us out of the ball game. And when asked Bill why he hit that thrown ball. he said: Honestly, Bill, couldn't help 1t; it was the first straight one I've seen today

Continuous Tungsten.

After three years research work. a British concern has succeeded. SO 1t is said, in producing tungsten in such | form that 1t could be drawn Into a continuous wire one-thousandth of an inch in thickness, used iu any length or bent to any shape. At the same time. its tensile strength has been increased.
 Hitherto tungsten has only been producible in short lengths. The new discovery makes 1t possible to use a continuous wire in the lamp, so that the risk of breakage is reduced to a minimum and the life of the lamp considerably extended.

NORTONI HEADS MISSOURI MOOSE TICKET UNDER PROGRESSIVE HEAD IS PLACED IN THE
 POLITICAL FIELD.
Hadley Attempts Fusion Ticket but the Progressives Refuse to Join
 in the Sentiment of Harmony,

St Louis, Sept 1.-The Missouri state progressive convention today nominated a full state ticket headed by Judge Albert D. Nortoni. of the St. Louis court of appeals.
 A debate was brought about by a telephone statement of Governor Her bert S. Hadley to Progressive State Chairman L, A. Ellis in which the governor said two of three republi- can candidates had told him they would withdraw from that ticket should the republican state central committee demand that they adhere to the supporting of the entire state ticket.
 This statement was regarded as an effort by Governor Hadley to bring about fusion between the two parties on these nominations and this was bit- terly resented by practically all of the delegates.
 The matter of obtaining places on the ballots for the party's candidates also received attention. A report of a special committee of lawyers appoint ed at the session yesterday finally was adopted This put forward three methods by which the desired result. may be accomplished, through attest ed certificates from the convention. by application of the progressive state committee, or through petitions sign ed by the electors of the state The report provided that should all three fail, an attack should be made on the constitutionality of the state primary law.
 Besides Judge Nortoni, other nomi- nees are.
 Lieutenant Governor-J. M. Burrus, Kansas City. <
 Secretary of State-Frederick w. Neidermeyer, Columbus.
 Attorney General--A. M. Hyde, Princeton.

INSPECTOR HAYES
 JOINS WHITMAN
WILL GIVE NEW YORK DISTRICT ATTORNEY INFORMATION ON
 THE POLICE CRAFT.
Denoted Police Inspector Expects to Return to Be Saved From lndIct-
 ment by Special Grand Jury.

New York, Sept 4.-Corpelius C.. Hayes. the denoted police inspector. who is to go to trial Friday for mak- ing an alleged false statement con corning his police duties in connection with the raiding of disorderly houses. will be a witness, it was learned to- night, at the John Doe proceedings to investigate police corruption.
 Hayes, who was in secret conference last night with District Attorney Whit man, is known already to have given startling information and it is under. stood he is ready to give more, pro viding certain conditions in the power of the district attorney to grant are compiled with.
 Hayes, it became known tonight, sought the conference with District Attorney Whitman chiefly to find out whether 1t was the intention of the prosecutor to seek his indictment in connection with the pending graft in- quiry.
 The denoted inspector was frankly told by MT. Whitman that he had in his possession evidence against him which he proposed to present to the grand jury. Hayes, it was learned, protested innocence, but begged the prosecutor to withhold presentation of the evidence until after his police trial
 Hayes said he expected to be made the goat" of the police department, but did not propose to be a cOmplai- sant victim.
 Should an indictment be found be- fore the police trial was completed, Hayes said. his case would be injured. He declared he expected to prove that Police Commissioner Waldo had told him not to raid disorderly houses. ex- cept on specific instructions. this be- ing the substance of the statement Hayes made to the commissioner, for which he will be tried.
 He asked Mir. Whitman's aid in. pre- venting any delay in his trial, Sand said he expected at this hearing to present considerable evidence bearing on police conditions. It was then that MT. Whitman warned Hayes, in the presence Of Thomas D. Thatcher. the police officers counsel, that he in- tended to call him as a witness at the Joe Doe proceedings and expected him there to repeat all that he had said in the conference. If he should refuse. Mir Whitman said. he would call MT. Thatcher to confirm all Hayes state ments.
