A pretty story comes from France
Of contest In compliments between
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt and Edmund
Rostand. the poet In which the Alfonso
and CASTOR stunt is put to shame.
Nine Bernhardt telegraphed to Paris
newspaper that she had entered suit
against Rostand because a poster OF
cinematograph performance of his play
"LAiglon" had been stuck up right op-
posite her Paris theater and would
hurt her business Nine. Sarah was
most put out by the use of the title
"L'Aiglon," which she claims belongs
to her so far as concerns the stage.
The brilliant author OF "L'Alglon"
seems to have been distressed at the
anger which had been aroused against
him In the bosom of the "divine Sarah,"
and he teegraphed her:
II know nothing about the case. but
I would rather cut my hand or than
engage lawyer against Nine. Bern
hardt. No human force could make
me defend myself against her. What
ever she wishes Is right, and i grant
her all the profits arising from films
Of my work. Lkiss her hand. gracious
as lily"
This tribute from the poet evidently
touched Nine. Bernhardt deeply. as II
Is stated that she promptly wired to
the Paris press declaring her purpose
to refuse to accept Rostands moving
picture profits. which are estimated at
$4,000.

BAD ROADS GAUGE GREAT
LOSS.

Bad roads cost the United
States s7.50o.00O,000 per annum
is the reported estimate of the
highway commissioner Of Ohio.
He figures that the average cost
OF hauling one ton one mile on a
good, hard road is 5 cents. while
the present average cost Is %
cents, and in some districts II Is
as high as "a cents. There Is no
doubt respecting the economy Of
good roads. but such estimating
as the commissioner offers takes
no account OF the capital outlay
necessary to get the roads. III

pieces and In the ways that have
prevailed in the state Of New
York. there may be a loss Of
money instead Of a saving. The
matter is one OF great impor-

COrnea of Pigs Eye
Gives Sight to Baby

Baltimore Sight has been given to
the left eye of Davis Kane, 9-months-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Kane,
of Gettysburg, Pa, through the graft
ing Of the cornea of pigs eye to the
child's eyeball, according to state
ment of physicians at a hospital here.
Tests, they assert, have brought out
this fact without doubt. When the
bandage was removed, it was said
that the child followed the course of a
lighted candle which was moved in
front of him. Another test that
brings out the fact more clearly is
that the child now winks his eyelid if
a finger or small object is waved
close to the eye.
The disease from which he has been
a sufferer since he was three weeks
old is known as staphytoma of the
cornea. The operation was performed
Monday and the cornea of the pigs
eye was used because it more closely
resembles the human cornea than that
of any other animal.

French AlUard Medal to
American Bird Protector

Paris-Myron T. Herrick, United
States ambassador to France, received
Monday a deputation of members of
the French Acclimatization Society
and of the French Natural History
Association. They handed to him the
gold medal conferred on William T.
Hornaday, director of the New York
Geological park. The honor was con-
ferred on Mr.. Hornaday for his inter
national service in the protection of
wild life. He was unable to be pres
ent, as he was detained by his work
at Yale University.
Mr.. Hornaday drafted the para
graph dealing with plumage in the
new American tariff bill.
Edmond Pommier, who aided the
deputation, addressed the ambassador,
eulogizing the work of Mr.. Hornaday.
The ambassador, in reply, said it
seemed to him that the French, in be-
slowing the medal on one of the fore
most champions Of distressed wild life,
had given an answer to the fnsistent
demand of fashion, and added:
"The people Of America, who have
witnessed the wanton destruction OF
herds of buffalo and deer and Of wild
birds, will appreciate the high courage
you have displayed in taking this
broad and unselfish standpoint"

Italian RaillOay Employees
Planning General Strike

Rome - Another general railway
strike is threatened in Italy. Eighty
thousand railway employees are agitat-
ing for an amelioration Of their condi-
lions OF employment, which would rep
resent an increase Of $10,O00,0O0 in
the state budget.
The employees have held several
meetings, the most important of these
at Ancona, a great railway center, at
which it was decided that if the gov
eminent refused to give satisfactory
answer to the demands of the men
general railway strike would be pro-
claimed on April Is.
Enrico Malatesta, the anarchist
leader, promised the support OF his
party to the railway men and the Re
publican and Socialist leaders gave
similar promise.

skin as bright as the diamond. She

FIRE BUILDING
THEN ROB BANK
Seven Highwaymen Get $500
at Elma, Washington.
While Citizens Gather About Fire,
DesperddOes Successfully Es-
cape With Much Cash.

Elma, Wash.-First firing the school
house to attract the attention Of citi-
zens, seven heavily armed men Satur-
day night entered the Bank of Elma,
made the cashier prisoner, "covered -
several customers and then robbed the
vault of between $500 and $1,000.
Several members of the gang re-
NAMED outside the bank and made tar
gets of approaching pedestrians and
the town marshal, and when their con-
federates finished the looting, riddled
the plate glass windows as they made
off down the railroad tracks.
While fusillade of shots were fred
during the robbery, no one was hit.
Elma is on the Northern Pacific rail
road about IL miles east of Montesano
IN Chehalis county. The population is
about 1000.
The Bank of Elma remains open
Saturday nights from 7 to o'clock.
The attack was just before closing
time and the only ones in the bank
were Cashier Earl France, his book
keeper, A. H. Fleming, and three de-
positors, Walter Myer, Ed Bosley and
George Avery, and Ben Young.
-Four of the highwaymen entered the
bank, covered the three occupants,
forcing Cashier France into the vault,
where he was held prisoner. Three of
the gang on the outside hurriedly
forced two passersby into the bank,
where they were "covered." One of
the men on the inside made the haul
during the dramatic towering of the
citizens, taking only the money in the
vault, leaving $4,000 on the counter I'M
touched.
The holdup was completed within
five minutes. On account of resist
ance made by Cashier France, who at
tempted to reach his revolver on the
cage counter, one of the robbers fred
twice at him, but neither shot took
effect. The loot had been obtained
almost before the town realized that
one of the boldest bank robberies in
the history of the state was being
staged.
The crowds rapidly left the burning
school gymnasium and gathered at the
bank. Posses were formed at once and
under direction Of Sheriff Matthews of
Lewis County and Marshal ]. L. Smith
of Elma, all started in pursuit. Five
posses, aided by bloodhounds, are on
the trail.
