SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2O.-An-
nette Kellerman has a rival. and a
formidable one, for the title of the
worlds most perfect physical WON
an" And strangely enough, the rival
is not of Caucasion blood. She is a
pure Chinese girl, but everything that
a Chinese girl is not supposed to be.
The. popular idea of the Chinese
woman, with bandaged feet and
stunted growth, of seclusion amount
ing almost to slavery. must undergo a
change. for here in California there
is a young Chinese woman who is
physically perfect according to Occi-
dental standards, who is studying law
and who is an ardent upholder OF
equal suffrage
She is Miss Zamlock Lowe, daugh-
ter of a prominent merchant of San
Francisco, and is the only woman Of
her race who is enrolled in the law

4-YEAR-OLD BOY
IS MASTER Of
POLYSYLLABLES
Words Like "SpondyIotherapy''
and "PoIycotyIedon" Baby
Talk of Youngster.

DETROIT, Sept 20.-"The boy with
the mirror brain" is what they call
4-year- old George Herbert VanVleet.
His exceptional mental activity dates
back to early babyhood
At an age when the average young
ster's vocabulary consists of a series
Of sounds that no one but a doting
parent could by any stretch OF the
imagination construe as representing
even 'googoo." George was talking
distinctly, repeating words that woui !
stump many a grown-up.
BY the time he was Is months old
he astonished physicians who had
ben attracted by stories of his ability
when such simple words as spondylo-
therapy, polycotyledon, mataptergold,
limnanthaceae rolled off his tongue as
easily as If they contained but one
syllable.
To-day, just turned 4, there is not a
word in the English language THAI,
having heard once, he will not repeat,
with astonishing clearness of enun-
citation.
lie has never been taught to read.
All letters look alike to him when
they are coupled together.
We have never crowded George in
the least" said Mr.. VanVleet, when
the fear was expressed that such
precocity, if encouraged, might lead -
a mental breakdown in short time.
1t is only necessary for him to hear
anything once, A statement settles
back in his brain to be brought forth
at will. We have never undertaken
to teach him to read, as we we:e
fearful of imposing too severe a
strain. How one small head man
ages to contain such a mass of de-
tail is too much for me. / only know
that IL does and ; i willing to Ell
someone else do the explaining"
In other resrects George is an or
binary, wideawake, fun-loving young
ster to whom life is one round Of JOY.
He is fond Of the games common with
children of his age ami is popular
with his playmates. Bat when all
these pail, he seeks relief in porting
over maps or in other ways acquir
ing a fund of information out Of all
keeping with his years.

English Sparrows
Used to Halt Weevil
Feathered Ganins Are Welcomed in
Alfalfa Fields of Western
States.

MADISON, WIS, Sept. 20.-The
English sparrow has found claim to
usefulness. The most despised of
birds promises to be of service in
checking the spread of the alfalfa
Weevil.
The spread of this pest has threat
ened the destruction of the alfalfa
industry in Utah, Wyoming and
Southern Idaho and caused much
alarm among growers of the plant in
Wisconsin and other Middle Western
States.
That the seed introduction theory
of spread is false has been definitely
proved by T. H. Parks and James G.
Sanders, plant experts, respectively, to
the Idaho Agricultural College and the
University of Wisconsin's College of
Agriculture. Their investigations
have shown that the weevil feeds
upon leaves and stems of the plant,
but never upon the seed. On the
other hand, there is every possibility
IF spread in the fact that the beetle
or its eggs may be carried from dis
trict to district in the hay upon which
it feeds.

Head Of Rodman Wanamaker Expe-

TACOMA, WASH, Sept. 20.-After
studying Indian tribes at Neah Bay
and elsewhere, DR.. Joseph Dixon, head
of the Rodman Wanamaker expedi-
ton, returned from Cape F'lattery, at
the entrance to the Straits of Fuca
DR.. Dixon is accompanied by his son

'Neah Bay Indians are a combina-
ton of Russians, japanese and Eskj-

squatty. short type, and extremely in
teresting. From a viewpoint of char
acter study, they are valuable"
This confirms the view advanced
twenty years ago by Judge James
Wickersham. now Alaska delegate in
Congress, and by others since, that
Western Washington Siwash tribes
sprang from Japanese waited across
the Pacific voluntarily or otherwise
by the japanese current centuries
ago.

.REFORMATORY FOR
GIRLS SEEMS SURE
Senate President and Others In
dorse Measure for Home for
hayward in Georgia.

President Randolph Anderson of
the Senate has announced that he
will support a measure for the estab-
lishment Of an industrial home for
hayward girls in Georgia. Leading
members of both the House and Sen
ate have pledged support.
The measure has ben Endorsed by
Superior Court judges and by prac-
tically all of the women's clubs and
social welfare organizations through
out Georgia.
Even as the law now stands, 1t is
contemplated that Georgia should
have some place for the detention and
care of hayward girls. The State
Reformatory at Milledgeville was in
stituted with the idea of caring for
boys and girls. but the lack of neces-
sary facilities and money for that in
stitution and other circumstances
have made it impossible for that in
stitution to be used az anything but
a boys reformatOry.
The need of a similar institution for
girls IS recognized, and it IS believed
will receive no opposition.
Mr.. Anderson said:
THE growth of the towns of Geor-
gia has forced this problem upon our
attention. 1t is one of those meas
ures of prevention which We must

Chief Of Dectives Newport Lanford
and Colonel Thomas b. Fielder met
Friday morning for the first time since
their row in the Grand Jury witness
room a few weeks. Chief Lanford
was a witness for Judge j. r. Bate
man. tried on charge Of larceny
after trust in connection with an al
legged pool room swindle. Colonel Eel
der cross examined him as the attor-
ney for Frank Rothleutner. the pros
ecutor.
The case came to trial before Supe-
rior Judge L. s. Roam Thursday aft
ernOon. The session was taken up
with a narrative by Rothleutner, an
Austrian, who uufolded a story Of
So 600 swindle in which he said II.
H. Brown, J. H. Blake and j. y.
Bateman were principals. Brown and
Blake have not been arrested.
Won $4,000 on Horses.
Rothleutner said he met Brown a.
Miami. Fla, in February, and after
forming his acquaintance was intro
duced TO Blake who said he had won
fabulous sums at the Miami pool
room. He said that finally he went
70 the place with them, where he
met Judge Bateman, who was called
the commissioner. and seemed to be
in authority.
Rothleutner said that after making
several small bets and winning, he
listened to the entreaties Of Blake and
Brown ami made a bet Of 10000 for
which he put up his personal check.
The horse won, he said, but the com
missioner" would not pay him until
he proved that his check was good.
After a futile effort to get the banks
at Kilgore, Neb., to honor his draft
for this amount. he said, he tele-
graphed his son to round up $4,000
worth Of cattle and send him the
money After about ten days delay
he received from his son $4,000, all
the cattle had sold for. Blake and
Brown went with him to Jackson
willie to get the draft cashed, he said,
and Judge Bateman went with them
az far as St Augustine.

Rothleutner said that when he got
the money Brown and Blake told him
to come on to the branch Of the syn
dicate" at Atlanta. where he could
pct his winnings without any trouble.
lie said that he was taken by them
10 171h Whitehall Street, where
they went into room on the third
floor that had much the same APP
pearanCe Of the room in Miami
He said that while the cashier was
telcgraphing Miami TO find out
whether to pay the $4,000 they had
won, Brown and Blake persuaded
him to bet his SO 1000, which he did.
Rothleutner claims that the place
in Atlanta was operated by Judge
Bateman, and was a fake pool room.
He said the telegraph wires ended
in another room and that the pro-
moters had any horse they wished
TO cross under the wire first
