WEAR 1T If YOU WANT TO.

The right of a free-born American
citizen to wear straw hat after
September ] has been yindicated.
The man who still possesses his last
summers straw hat-yea, even a
straw hat of the vintage of 19l2-may
drag it forth from the paper bag in
which it has been put away for the
winter, and wear it on the streets and
his head with impunity 1t must not
be smashed down over his eyes,
neither may unseemly jibes be hurled
at the wearer.
Straw hats in September have been
under the protection OF the law, if the
precedent of a Washington. D. c.,
police judge is worth anything. This
Daniel come TO Judgment severely re-
primanded a culprit who had 'jeered
at the headgear of a large man who
wore No. - shoes, and who turned out
to be a policeman off duty" The
judge also gave warning that future
offenses would be punished
Strawhat wearers all over the
country have cause for rejoicing in
this decision.
But who wants to wear a straw hat
anyway?

All Roads Lead
to Vaudeville
BY Carlton Ten Eyck.

(Written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Popularity
rests on astonishing foundations in
these bizarre days when all roads of
crime, misfortune and adventure seem
to lead to the vaudeville stage or the
lecture platform, which are first cous
ins.
The other night they had a lecture
in the Episcopal Church at South
Norwalk and policemen guarded all
the entrances, though the affair was
under the auspices of clergymen. The
reason? Bald Jack" Rose, the New
York gambler, chief "squealer" OF
the Herman Rosenthal murder case,
was the lecturer and he professed to
be afraid that some of the New York
gunmen would try to get him as he
occupied the church pulpit.
What Makes Up the Underworld"
was the shiny-pated crooks topic and
the lecture was listened to by 500 of
the churchmen, their wives, daughters
and sons. The lecture was to raise
money to pay off the church debt. and
Bald Jack" Rose donated his services
Gambler Herman Rosenthal was as
Sassinated in Forty-third Street in the
glare of Broadway in June of 1912, and
the killing started a police graft scan
dial that is still fostering. On the tes-
timony of Rose that he hired the four
gunner who shot Rosenthal and es-
capped in a touring car that he trans
mitted to them the plans for the muir
der and that he paid them for the
butchery, Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker and the four gangsters, Lefty
Louis" "Gyp the Blood Whitley
Lewis" and 'Dago Frank" are now
on the life side of the little green
door" in the Sing Sing death house.
awaiting electrocution.
Rose went scot free and has been a
hero ever since. He has lectured in
New York and surrounding towns. A
serial story by him, telling of his sor-
did life as a gambler and thug of the
underworld took up two pages every
Sunday for weeks in one of the New
York newspapers. 1t was Jack Roses
own refusal and not the fault of the
sensational managers that the "squeal-
| erS" did not go on the vaudeville stage.
Another sciutillating example of
amazing popularity is Mrs. Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw, whose husbands thrilling

England has been of intense public in

Whenever Willie gets ready to re-

eral worthy opponents. Freddie

Leach Cross has the bee buzzing in

gun agitation for a return match.
In Wolgast's case. the fact that his
advances are not taken over serious
ly is due to himself. Wolgast has
had several chances TO redeem him
self, but he has not trained suf-
ficiently on any one occasion. He
could easily make himself a strong

would foTsake city life for a few
months and spend his time on his

with a physicians certificate setting
forth that he had stored up plenty
Of vitality during his sojourn in the

from the promoters.
In the writer's opinion, Wolgast is
far from being a back number.

Now that Willie Richie has

lie in that direction, no one can say

sports that no chance remains to

The story goes that Richie long
ago set his heart upon trip through
the older lands and that he wants to
take advantage Of his present position
and earning power to fulfill his de-
sire. He is sensible enough TO know
that a ring mans grip Of the top
