FROM HOUSE-TOP
LENA YELLS OUT
HER VOCAL S. D. s
GERMAN GIRL FINDS DOOR LOCK-
ED AND VISIONS OF MURDER
SHOO HER TO THE ROOF.

New Orleans, La, Nov. 7.-Wedne5-
day afternoon Andrew Allen hired
Lena kaufman to help his wife about
the boarding house which they run ut
S38 Bayonne street. This morning, as
scarce as household help is, Allen fired
her. You can hardly blame him, be-
cause
Her name is Lena Kaufman, and
she came from Germany, just liz
tie while ago yet.
Mrs Allen let Lena in at her kitch-
en- door when she told her that she
was hired and took her to her room
on the second floor. That evening the
Aliens went to see little polite
vaudeville. Now Lena had not been
in this country long, and she wanted To
give it the German once-over. SO she
got on her hat with the hop flowers
on it and started to sally forth.
/ Lena went to the kitchen door,
through which she had entered the
house and tried to open it. 1t was
locked. Like a door in a melodrama,
it was locked!
/ Of course, the front door vas open
and Lena could have escaped there
but she was too panic-stricken to think
of that.
Zach Gott!" moaned Lena, Juggling
at the merciless knob of the locked
door. 81 am trapped What will be-
come of me?"
For she had heard dark and sinister
tales of how immigrant girls had been
lured and captured in this land of the
so-called free. She looked about for
escape. Before her eyes a narrow
stair ran up to me ROOF.
With bound, Lena mounted it and
galloped out on top of the house. A
little trap door kept out the rain. Lera
was not watching and the door tapped
back, shutting her on the roof. But
Lena still had her lungs She used
them.
!, Clearing her throat and ,oosening
the top button on her waist she raised
her voice and yelled forty different
kinds of murder and police, both in
broken English and unbroken Prus-
hian. An alarmed neighborhood gath
cred to see what was the matter.
Two fremen stood in front of En-
CINE House, No. 2, nearby, and discuss
ed the feasibility of getting out ladders
and making a flameless rescue of the
resonant woman on the roof.
A neighbor who knew where the
Aliens had gone, saved them the trou-
BILE. He ran to the vaudeville house,
told the Aliens what was happening
on their roof and brought them bacA
on the run.
Allen came up on a run and after
opening the trap door leading to the
roof told Lena about the open front
door. Lena soon regained her compos-
ure-but her job was lost beyond re-
call, because Allen had to leave the
theatre in the middle of a very fine
juggling act.

DECLINED THE
$4,000 OFFER
FOR PLANTATION
JOHN CRAWFORD The OWNER
OF LOO Fertile Acres Near
Americas

Forty thousand dollars, it is stated,
was the round price offered John
Crawford, a worthy and Industrious
colored farmer, for his fine farm of
HOO acres near Americas, yesterday,
and the offer was at once declined BY
Crawford. The place is a desirable
one and has long been Crawford's
home, where he works a large force
of laborers and makes good crops.
Crawford owns his land and does not
owe dollar upon it, or to anyone else
for that matter. He is well off, finan-
cially, and with money in the bank
he did not see any necessity in selling
the old farm to which he is greatly at
tached. Not many Georgia negroes
have attained the great success John
Crawford has attained durin his long
residence here, or are held in such re-
gard.

Constitutional
Convention

Governar Oddie's message to the
present Legislature, which is a mes
sage TO the people of Nevada, is out.
The document is of value, as it gives
IDEAS on a number OF facts that Exist
in Nevada.
Probably the most important rec
ommendation of the message is that
of the calling of a constitutional con-
vention. 1t is an admitted fact, both
by the laymen and those versed in the
law that this state has a constit1-
ton that has outworn its usefulness.
Many of the provisions were made in
war time. Many were made with the
view of providing for times that were
far removed from the present condi-
tons. The trainers worked we'll, but
their visions Of the future were ma
and in a century that has passed.
Land laws need regulation and
could not be forthcoming in several
sessions of the Legislature. The
mixed condition of the present code
IS a worryment to every state and
county officer. The application of
laws through constitutional provis-
ion hampers and delays action that
should be mediate.
In all it is found that the present
constitution is hide bound and of TOO
small scape for modernism.
His recommendations of rural
banking systems and the right of the
state to lend to farmers on improved
ground is along the broadcast lines.
1t is probable that no action can be
taken, as again the constitution pro-
hibits. Most of the economic pro-
visions suggested are either prohib-
tied or hampered by a cas- hardened
constitution of fifty years ago.
The cry will be raised that Nevada
has no money for such a convention.
At the same time the state will plug
along on a worn out document and
thousands Of dollars will escape bv
this cry. It is hoped that the matter
can be considered seriously at the
session and give Nevada a chance to
expand.

Cheap Fight

There is a fight on in Congress
