HOT Q STUFF,

Manager Connie Mack has announced
that Outfielder Murphy, who was UNI
able to play last year, will captain the
Athletics this year.
William IEloto, writing in the Butte
Post, CritiCi2es the Amateur Athletic
union for trying to disqualify Thorpe
the great Indian athlete. Mr.. Floto
insists that the charge that Thorpe
played professional baseball is trivial
when set beside his performance at
Stockholm.
1t has been announced by the Yale
gymnasium authorities that William f.
Roos has broken the straight record Of
2+90,9 points made by John r. kiIpat-
rick in 1911. Roos scored a total of
1865 points, a remarkable record. Voos
is a sh~ot-putter, and has already won
some distinction in the event. He is
a candidate for the varsity this year.
His most phenomenal showing was in
the pushups and p%ullups. He pulled
up % times and pushed up % times.
The details Of his record are: Weight.
iNt pplHltSy l"iiS capacity, ON,
strength. right forearm, 1870: left fore
arm, 125; back, 400; legs, $50; pullups,
%; pushups, So; total points, 26G5.
In a way Mr.. Floto is right, but he
must remember that the least faint
of professionalism would spoil our
wonderful amateur athletic standing.
The fault is not with the amateur ath
letlc union officials, but with the
rules. The high standing of baseball
as a professionalism sport should in
fluence the athletic union to allow
amateurs to play professional ball.
Until some such stand is taken though
the rules must be strictly upheld.
When Mr.. Floto says that the man
who takes $40 for playing baseball is
no worse than the football PLAYER who
gets $1,40O for signing articles on the
game, he is, as usual, absolutely right.

ARABS WIPE OUT
FRENCH TROOPERS
IN FIERCE FIGHT

Paris, March 22-A column Of ma
tive French troops, with their white
officers, was virtually annihilated by
Arabs, a few days ago while operating
in the Aderar region Of Western Sa-
hara.
A body of 1000 of the Intractable
Berber tribe of AwelIemid swooped
down and surrounded the French de-
tachment which was marching through
the shifting sands of the desert about
three days journey from Tfmbucktu,
the French military station.
After a severe fight lasting all day,
the French troops were overcome.
Their commander, Lieut.. Martin, and
four white sergeapts were killed, to-
gether with So native troopers, while
80 others were taken prisoners A
few natives escaped on the pack horses
accompanying the French detachment
and brought the news to headquarters
in Tinbucktu. They declared that
the Arabs suffered heavily before the
ammunition of the French troops was
exhausted.

STEAMERS CRASH
IN HEAVY FOG

Vineyard Haven, Mass, March 22-
The revenue cutter Itaeca left today
to assist the steamers City of Macon
and James s Whitney which were in
collision in a heavy fog Off Tarpaulin
Cove, in Vineyard Sound, last night.
An eight foot hole was torn in the
side of the City of Macon above the
waterline and the bow of the Whit
ney was broken in when the steamers
crashed. Neither vessel shipped wa
ter and Captain Diehl, of the City of
Macon, reported that no one was in
jured.
The City of Macon, of the Savannah
line, was bound from Savannah to
Boston with few passengers and a
cargo of freight. The Whitney, which
is operated by the Metropolitan line,
was bound from New York to Boston
with freight
Captain winram, OF the revenue cut
ter Itasca, received the following wire
less message from Captain Diehl of the
City of Macon, early today:
''The City of Macon was at anchor
when the James S. Whitney, of the
Metropolitan, rammed US. No one
was injured The Whitney's stem
was twisted and her bow was broken
in but nothing serious. The City OF
Macon has an eight foot hole in her
side. All damage was done forward

IN THE BARRACKS
Big Lasky Production to Be Shown at Polls New

1t is but fitting that s. z. Poll
should, in keeping with his policy of
securing only the best, gather in the
exclusive exhibiting rights of Edison's
latest and greatest invention, the
Talking Moving Pictures, and also fit
ting that he should decide to display
them first in the local theatre, the
most gorgeous and modern of his en-
tire circuit, consequently local play
goers are to have first chance at these
wonderful pictures, and beginning
Monday afternoon and each day and
night following, the wonderful kineto-
phone will be shown at the new Poll
here, with the latest and most ap-
proved subjects produced by the Edi-
son people.
Twenty thousand dollars Poll paid
for the pictures and that he struck
a popular chord, is best shown by the
fact that the advance sale at his new
theatre here is the largest in the his
tory of the theatre Over three thou
sand dollars worth of seats have been
sold already, and the mail and phone
orders are coming in every minute.

Dorothy Kenton, burt recently an
added attraction at all the high class

fills out the big diversified bill. Miss
Kenton makes one forget the banjo

Of course the Poliscope with new
photo play offerings will contribute its
quota to the big offering.
All in all, the bill looks like one of
the best Manager Poll has ever sent
here, and without a. doubt the Talking
Pictures are the most expensive and
the most sens tionally successful OF
any feature ever shown.

The fact that Mr.. Poll is presenting
the most expensive attraction now in

Professor Quervain, of Zurich, has

incident of history.
Dynamite in large quantities has
been used in the construction of the
railroad to the top of the Jungfrau,
a mountain nearly $4,000 feet high
in the Bernese Alps. The Professor
observed that the sound of the dyna-
mite explosions was heard distinctly
for distance of thirty miles. Then,
between thirty miles and forty-four
miles, the explosions were absolutely
inaudible, only to be heard again be-
yond the forty-four mile zone.
The Professor is not yet able to de-
termine the cause of this zone of ST.
lence,'' but he makes the interesting
suggestion that a similar zone at LEG
nitz, in Prussia, where Frederick the
Great defeated the Austrians in 1850
may account for the persistence with
which the Austrian General, Count
Won Daun, declared he never heard the
sound of cannonadtng in spite of the
fact that the roar of the Prussian ar
further from the battle field than was
the Austrian commander. Failing to
hear the Prussian guns, Won Daun did
not go to the aid of General Laudon
whose command might have been saw
ed by his presence.

the most unique and interesting ex-
hibitions that was ever evolved for
amusing purposes. This remarkable
man has baffled scientists and many
of our well known college professors
by the manner in which he handles
electricity, he allows himself to be
shocked with enough of the deadly
current to kill a regiment of men,

Aside from his sensational part of his
performance he injects comedy into
his performance which will make it
one of the best acts of the season.
The remainder of the bill however
was not sighted account of the high
priced attraction. Dixon and Dixon,
two musical clowns will offer a real
novelty on brass and mechanical in
struments. Henry Frey, a well known
German comedian in a somewhat diff
ferent mono1ogue will surely be most
favorably received. Leonard and Al

ing diversion should meet with un-
animous approval, as hoof trotters

different contests. Dresdner and

and rapid fire talk will be one of the
laughing hits of the bill and Marshall

POlNCAIRE PLANS
TO SPEND INCOME
NEW PRESIDENT WILL DISBURSE
$4,000 PER YEAR FOR
SEVEN YEARS.

Paris, March 22.-President Poin-
care has made up his mind to spend,
as fast he receives it, every penny
of his presidential income of $4,000
q year. Then, at the end of his sew
en-year term he will return without
savings to earning his living as a law
yer. A total income during the term
of office of nearly $1,700,O00 has CIV
en- opportunity to previous French
Presidents to lay aside a snug sum
against the time when they retire to
private life, but even this commend
able thrift does not enter into the
plans of the new President of the
French Republic.
NJ. Poincare expressed this deter
mination to be lavish in his expendi-
lures to a lawyer friend a few days
ago. His friend thought this was
rather unwise, and pointed out to the
President that his private means were
not large.
What will you do. if you don't save
anything, when you are no longer
President?'' he asked.
"Do?'' answered NJ. Poincare, "why,
work, of course. Mr.. Taft is going to
become a Professor at Yale when he
leaves the White House; why should
not 1 put on my advocates gown
again?''

appear with the sash of the Legion of
Honor in public, they could, if they
wished, display as many variegated
ribbons, stars and crosses as any here

holds the record; he has no less than
SO Grand Ribbons and Grand Crosses
as against IS for his successor, NJ

ex-Presidents has the Golden Fleece
of Spain; the Lion of the Netherlands
the Lion of Norway; the Imtiaz of
Turkey; the Liberator of Venezuela;
the Star of Ethiopia; the Order of
Daniel I, of Montenegro; the Golden
Lion of Luxembourg; the Redemption
of Liberia, and the Order of the Blood
of Tunis. NJ. Fallieres holds exclu-
sively the Grand Cordons of ST Ste

tugaI; of st. Olaf; of the Nicham- If
tikhar, and of the Order of Carol of
Roumania.
The question of the nationality of
Christopher Columbus, and where he
was born, continue to prove an mex
haustible subject of discussion for his
torians and philologists.
The latest contribution to the de-
bate comes from French writer,
Henri Schoen, who brings forward a
number of new arguments in support
of the tradition that Christopher Co
lumbus was born at Calvi, in Corsica.
This tradition is, of course, in direct
contradiction to the theory that the
discoverer of America was of Genoese
birth, and it is also contrary to the
views of such learned Spaniards as de
la RieSa and the Marquis de Dos Flu
entes. who maintain that Columbus,
or Colon, according to the Spanish form
Of the name was in reality a native of
Galicia, in Spain, fact which he al
ways concealed with the object of hid
