Julian Hawthorne, now convict No

God wrought a wondrous miracle.
For a voice like a glorious trumpet
Arose as a soul from the deeps oi

And our souls rose with IL on won

FINDS INF ANT|LE
PARALYSIS GERM
DR.. FIexner, of Rockefeller In
,stitute, Hopes Soon to
Perfect a Cure.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 1.-THE
announcement made to an audience
of medical men here last night by
DIR. Simon Flexner, director of Rookie
Teller Institute of Research, New
York city, that he has found the
germ which causes infantile paraly-
sis, has aroused the keenest interest
among scientists and local physicians,
eminent in their profession, who re-
gard it as one of the most important
discoveries of recent years.
DR.. Flexner. who stated that the
organism was one of the smallest
which had ever been identified, said
that in the cultivation of 1t, the use
of a medium freed from oxygen had
been found necessary, and that be-
cause IL could grow only in the alb
senee of oxygen 1t would never be
found In blood or in any cavity con-
tanning oxygen. In the cultivation
of 1t tissue infected with the virus
was placed in receptacle from which
air was drawn by means of vacuum
pump, and under the resultant con-
dition the virus was propagated.
The discovery of a serum for the
cure of the disease Is looked upon
by medical men here as practicable
and possibly early to be accomplished.

Is TO CREATE NEW
CHARTER FOR CITY
cIeveIand's Contemplated Basic
Law to Be Most Up-to-Date
and Ideal.

The fifteen men elected to formulate
a new charter for Cleveland are
pledged to write into 1t the following
principles:
l, An effective initiative and refer
endum containing percentages not to
exceed 10 per cent.
2. The short ballot.
3. A non-political merit system,
A. The submission to popular vote
of the question of the recall of elected
officials.
3. A non partisan ballot
This platform of general principles
was Endorsed by the voters recent
Il, The commission will be under
constant scrutiny to see that the pro-
gram is not deviated from in any par
ticular
But these things, important as they
are. constitute but a small part OF
the work before the commission. In
regard TO the larger issues, the hand
of the charter trainers are happily
free. The experience of other cities
Is to be utilized; no plan appears 50
iinpromising as not to merit AT lease
momentary consideration.
Had the opposition ticket peen
chosen the commission would nave
been pledged to the Federal plan OF
government with a small counch
elected at large. The only chance OPP
ponents of that plan would have had
would be TO work against acceptance
of the completed charter at the polls.

PRocToR'S THEATRE TO
HAVE DIVERSIFIED BILL

Diverse attractions representing a
pleasing combination of merit and
novelty will make up the bill ar
ranged for presentation at Proctor's
Park Place Theatre next week, in
which the services of some of the
most conspicuous figures on the
vaudeville stage will be enlisted
or distinct interest to the average
theatre-goer will be the initial sensa-
ton in this city of THE Sea of ST.
lence," in which that distinguished
actor, Walter Law, will be seen with
the support of an exceptionally tall
ented company of players. This lit
tie playlet has attracted wide atten-
ton by reason of the theme the au-
thor has chosen for the basic ground
work of the plot. 1t represents a
scene in the confessional and is the
first time the theatre has invaded
the sanctuary in depicting human
emotions and human sympathies. The
incidents portrayed and the scenes
enacted, however. are handled with
such discerning care that the play
let has received the praise of the
clergy rather than their resentment
while good taste is in no way vio-
lated.
Another playlet that invites special
attention is entitled Honor Among
Thieves" and represents the latest
contribution to the vaudeville stage
of that artful producer, Joseph Hart.
The little drama represents the swift
~ moving scenes of life in the UNI
derworld,
Among the other contributors to the
bill prominence attaches to the APP
pearance of Wellington Cross and
Lois Josephine, recent features in the
George M. Cohan productions, who
will be seen in merry melange of
mirth and melody; Charley Case. the
ever popular monologist, who has q
few more stories to tell about his
father; Ed Morton. the old-time song
ster; Paul Kleist, the wizard of nee.

new stunts: Leo Beers, the popular

"cHERRY BLOSSOMS" TO
BEAR FRUIT AT MINERS

The management of Miners Empire
Theatre announces for next weeks
attraction that old. but always young,
exquisite, bewitching and alluring
band of burlesque troubadours, THE
Cherry Blossoms"
The scenery is all new and very
elaborate, the management having
gone to a great deal of expense to
give the public a really grand pro-
duction. The company Is under the
personal direction of Max Armstrong,
who gives his entire attention to this
show, and, as he knows what the
public wants, he does his best to
please them
This splendid company is introduced
in two merry satires from the pen of
Jack Perry, a comedian of expert
ence and ability, who is seen to iex-
cellent advantage in the leading
roles. The curtain rises on delirium
of joy, entitled What Happened to
McGuirlS," and goes down on a wildly
funny burlesque called Widow Nc
Carthy's Boarder."
The chorus is one of the best ever
heard in burlesque, and the beauty
and costumes of it's members will be
something to remember. Many of
these girls have sung In the Man
haitian Opera House, New York, and
also with some of the best opera
companies on the road.
Among the varied features of this
splendid organization will be the
graceful posing of group of beauti-
full Partisan models, who will appear
in a series of charming living pic
TIRES depicting some of the best gems
of French art All these pictures are
alive, palpitating with young. red
blood, and full of rich and gorgeous
colors.
The added feature will be O'Dora,
THE Girl and the Globe of Death
She will be assisted by Charles Red
field, well-known Newarker.

Countess Toeroek, who entered the
Khedive's harem in 1910 as the Prin-
cess Zobeida. has disappeared. 1t is
surmised that she returned to
Austria early in February. The fact
was kept secret, but now everybody
is talking about 1t and 1t has caused
a great sensation.
Soon after the countess entered the
demonstrating previously become a
convert to Islamism-it became
known that the Khedive was anxious
to alter the Egyptian laws of success
sion so that her son. If one should be
born. might become the titular ruler
of the country after his death. The
wife. who by virtue of being the
mother of his first son. the heir-ap-
parent. was entitled to the honors
and dignities of the Khedive, was
naturally bitterly aggrieved,. and 1t Is
surmised that her influence is re-
sponsible for the departure of the
charming Austrian.
