A Needle Did IL.

A most peculiar article OF news Is
ohronicled by the Odessa papers In
reference To the long standing illness
OF Leslie McNeel, one OF the towns
most highly respected young o
Mr.. McNeel was taken with a pain In
his head more than a year ago, which
for a time produced semi-conscious-
ness and great fears were entertained
that he would either die or ultimate
ly lose his mind. Various physicians
diagnosed his case and everything
was done to give the young man re-
lief, but nothing OF a permanent ma
ture was accomplished until about
three weeks ago, when It was discoy-
cred that q tenderness had developed
upon the skull near the base Of the
brain. and upon a searching eyamina-
ton II was found that a considerable
portion OF a sewing needle was work
Ing It's way to the surface. The
needle was removed and the young
man is rapidly returning to his farm
err good health. AS to how and when
the needle became imbedded In his
skull. he Is unable to explain, but II
is an evident fact that all OF his suf-
ferings and sickness during the past
fifteen months was caused by the
tneedle point being imbeded In OF

OPEN TOLL FIGHT
PRESIDENT WILL ADDRESS CON.
GRESS URGING REPEAL OF
CANAL EXEMPTION CLAUSE.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Presi-
dent Wilson will address a Joint ses-
sion of congress in person Thursday,
advocating the repeal of the clause in
the Panama Canal act which exempts
American coast-wise shipping from
the payment OF tolls.
White House officials tonight ar
ranged with the majority leaders In
both houses for q joint session at
1880 D. m. Thursday.
The President has prepared a
brief address, In which he sets forth
his opinion that congress should re-
verse itself and keep the obliga-
lions of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
which he believes we're violated by
the Panama Canal act.
The President holds that the Ia
tional honor of the American people
~ at stake and that European Ia
tions should not be allowed to get
the impression treaties made by the
American government are not adber-
ed to In letter and spirit.
4. n. Bound, Says Wilson.
The exemption clause he points out
was passed on the assumption that
while the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
guarantees equal treatment to all
nations In the matter OF tolls, the
document was to be interpreted as
meaning all nations except the United
states.
The President believes there should
be no debatable ground on treaties
once made and believes the United
States are In honor bound to keep the
spirit of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Originally MIR. Wilson had not in
tended TO deliver n message on this
subject. lie had conferred with Sena-
tors aud members OF the house. Some
or the leaders believed the interna-
tional phases OF the situation should
be emphasized in a communication
from the President to congress to Inn
press upon those who had voted for
the exemption previously the necess-
lty OF changing their votes, regard
less OF domestic questions involved.
Treaty Violated, Europe Thinks.
Since the toll question was last
before congress the President has
told senator's European nations gen.
orally are taking the view the United
States had violated the Hays-Paunce-
fote treaty. The governments OF the
world. he made II clear, are beginning
to believe that the United States are
not sincere In construction OF trea-
ties.
The message to congress will open
the fight on the tolls questions In
earnest. Senator O'Gorman, chairman
OF the in~teroceanic Canals Commit
tee. Is expected to oppose the Presi-
dents view.
Lately II has been said that n ma
jority OF the committee would favor
a repeal. The White House Is conf
dent that In both houses OF congress
the repeal will be passed. Republi-
a n Joining Democrats In making

down the gauntlet to the Democratic

the political wrath of the 4,000,0O0
women in suffrage states would be
visited upon the party, unless favor

posed constitutional amendment for

harmful mot only to women, but to
the country" .....
At the conclusion of the hearings.
Dr. Mary Walker. trousered and silk

what she called the browning Con-
stitutional argument" to show that

you cannot answer us by shaking In
our faces that tatterdemalion OF a

pect us not to read the newspapers
when you repudiate your platform
and violate expressed states right IN
the matter OF n presidential primary.
You cannot tell us that the platform
will not allow this suffrage discus
sion, because 1t is silent, but will per-
NIT the repeal OF the canal tolls ex-
emptlon, which II expressly for bids.
II Is underestmated our to
suppose that We cannot put these
facts into the hands OF 100000
voters, including more than 100000

"THE LITTLE NILLIONAIRE''

In the musical farce "The Little
Millionaire" which will be presented
at Elks theatre, Monday January r.
with Bert Leigh and Hazel Burgess
as its stars, Geo. NJ. Cohan is said
to have again demonstrated his
infallibility in gauging the pulse OF
the amusement loving public in the
matter of supplying it with an enter
tainment that is invigorating, whole
some and laugh-ocmpelling. That
'"The Little Millicnaire' contains
those appealing attributes is proved
by the phenomenal run that was ac-
corded this play at the Geo. NJ.
Cohan theatre in New York last
season.
Playgoers who saw Geo. M.
Cohan's musical farce "The Little
Millionaire" in New York City, are
enthusiastic over this product of his
magis pen, declaring it to be the
most delightful and mirth provok-
ing play this favorite author, actor,
and composer has furnished the
American stage down to date.

"EVERYWOMA,N"

The dramatic spectacle, 'Every-
woman" in many ways the most
talked-about play of recent years, is
to be offered by Henry W. Savage
at the Elks theatre, Monday, Janu-
airy 10. This unique production
which has made an extraordinary
success in England in addition to
it's American triumph, has been wit
messed by three millions of people
during the three years which have
elapsed since it's first performance
and it is now being played in half
a dozen countries.
s.EveryWoman" is sort of nom
descript in the matter Of classified
ton 1t partakes Of the nature of
grand opera, drama and musical
comedy, and yet, in reality, it does
not belong to any of of the three
Glasses. 1t was suggested to the
author, the late Walter Browne, by
the morality play, "Everywoman,'
which was performed throughout
America few years ago by a band
of English players under the leader
ship of Ben Greet, yet the latter
work was gloomy and morbid, while
"Everywoman" is bright, witty, and
abounds in comedy.
The work is on a vast scale and
ranrnsontS a cash outlay Of 1nwa rd
of sixty thousand dollars. 1t is
considered by Henry W. savage as
his greatest triumph as a producer.
The cast is a long one and includes
thirty-seven speaking characters.
One hundred and fifty people are
employed i'll the production.
The accompanying music is one of
the features. 1t is symphonioni
character and includes twe1ty-six
numbers which are especially COM
posed for "Everywoman" by George
Whitefield Chadwick, dean of the
New England Conservatory of Music
of Boston. A special symphony
orchestra is carried by the organi-
cation to properly render the score.
The CONSUMES for the production
are especially rich and represent the
last word of the Partisan designers.
The title role is played by That's
Magrane, young woman of excep-
tional beauty and talent.

zzations are faithfully renaereu, and
the tensely woven story never loses
it's enchanting continuity. kesased

the Bookcases were entirely Of the

had never been guilty of saying: ooh,

Bickles yet come to the point where
he ratified the evening paper and

stay at home comfortably?"

released in 1914 is Cecilia Lotus.
the famous character actress, is the
famous novel and play, "a Lady OF
Quality" by Frances Hodson Bur-
nett. The subject is an idyllic blend
ing of the romance, beauty and da--
ing of the days of knighthood, and
the film version has developed into
a brilliant reproduction of the
warmth and color of a picturesque
period.
Cecilia LOTUS, who during her
stage career has enacted many dit
ficult characterizations, infuses i1te
the role of Clorinda, the headstrcng
tempestuous hoyden who is the here
inc of the tale, degree of charm
and sentiment that is at once rare
and delightful. Throughout her
strange and fascinating career, Miss
Lotus invests Clorinda with dash
and vivacity, naturalness and arts
try, difficult to imagine and impos-
sible to resist.
The story centers about young
hoyden who grows up among he1
fathers dissolute companions, clad
in male attire, and who arrives al

a man. She falls in love with Sir

Bickles nearly cut himself twice

He paused in the doorway of the

six inches taller than the first one

All over the room young giants were
