ROOSEVELT LEADS
Greatest Living Man-Edison Sec.
ond, Wilson Third.

San Francisco. April IA. - Theo-
dore Roosevelt received the largest
number OF votes as the greatest liv-
ing man in the replies received by
the Rev. mt Allen Geissinger,
pastor of the University Methodist
church, when he invited the mem
bers of his congregation to express
their opinions on the subject. Edi-
son came a close second and Wood
row Wilson third - although some
feared that it vas too soon to pc
sure of the president.
The consensus of opinion was that
Roosevelt is great not only because
of his personal accomplishments and
individual achievements, but pe-
cause of his service in the cause OF
universal peace, his relation to the
Christian movement, his stimulation
to democracy and his marked eff.
cheney as an idealist.
DIR. Geissinger based his sermon
last evening on the replies received
and, in part, said:
Jesus says that the Gentiles
think of greatness as consisting in
place, fame, wealth and servants tc
wait upon them. True greatness
pours itself out without reck or stint
in the service of all as Moses did, as
John the Baptist did, as Christ him.

Once Sypert pinned the beast to the
ground and clutched 1t about the
throat with his hands. The animal
struggled. Finally, slowly, it quiet

his hold.
But the animal was not dead. The
minute the mans hands left its

sprang at the man. The battle was
on again. The man succeeded in
forcing his left hand between the an
imal's teeth. clutching the lower jaw
tightly. With the right hand he
seized the beasts windpipe.
His hand was on the windpipe when
a farmer found them about an hour
later. Sypert was covered with

Draper - What is perhaps the
largest land sale ever a in the
west of the river country vas closed
last Saturday by the O'Reilly Land

of decided land was sold to Robert

Clear Lake-Some excitement was
caused here when the authorities
made a raid on a building owned by
a brewing company, in search of liq-
uor. The authorities acted under a
search warrant secured by August
Kreger, a leading temperance advo-
cate. The officers found in the
building a keg of beer, which was
confiscated. Although no arrests
have yet been made, IL is expected
one or more persons will be placed
under arrest on the charge OF own
ing the beer and selling the bever-
age in violation of the law.
Chamberlain-Hot or cold, wet or
dry, the Milwaukee pontoon bridge
at Chamberlain rarely fails to get
kicked out of commission three times
each year - twice from ice in the
spring and once again from the
driftwood of the usual June rise.
The second u of ice came down the
river a few days ago and put the
bridge out of business for the sec
ond time this spring. The last ice
run came so suddenly and unexpect-
ed that one of the passenger trains
which belongs east of the river was
left on the west side. A force is now
at work on repairs and it is expect
ed the bridge will again be ready for
use by the latter part of the week.
There is evident need of a rear
bridge across the river here.

DESPERATE BATTLE
BETWEEN MAN AND DOG In
WHICH THE FORMER
TRIUMPHS.

Muskogee, Okla, April IA. - A
man armed with no weapons other
than those nature gave him, and an
immense mastiff dog fought a battle
on the prairie near here. When the
battle was over both lay on the
ground. The dog was dead and the
man was exhausted. The strength
and cunning of the man triumphed
over the strength of the dog.
Clay Sypert. an insurance man,
followed his daily custom and took
a walk into the country. He was
accompanied by his dog. Pete. When
the SHADOWS began to fall he turned
and started back to town. Sudden
ly the dog sprang at him from the
rear, knocking him down. Then the
battle between man and brute be-
gan.
The two were evenly matched. Sy-
pert weighs 152 pounds. When the
dog was weighed about a week ago
man called for help. Then, realizing
the futility of 1t he put all Of his
strength into the desperate fight.
Rearing on its hind legs, standing
as tall as the man. the brute made a
lunge for Sypert's throat. The man
lodged and swung his right fist into
the dogs belly. A stone was near.
The man saw ii and reached for 1t,
but before his fingers could close on
II the dog again was on its feet. At
first the dog snarled viciously, but as
the struggle grew nor desperate
neither man nor brute wasted
strength. -.
The dogs enormous jaws we're OPP

swapping teeth. Once the animal,
springing like a tiger, sank them in
to Sypert's shoulder. The two roll
ed about the ground like wrestlers.
When the a shook the dog free a
great piece of flesh was in the brute's
mouth. Time after time they sprang
at each other. each vainly attempt

Be A SPINSTER AND
LIVE LONG, He SAYS
Life Insurance Man Gives Sta
tiStiCS on Death Rate.

New York.-The spinster lives longer
than the married woman.
The business woman lives longer
than the business man.
The oma who takes out an endow-
ment insurance policy lives longer
than the oma who takes out a
straight life policy.
These facts-and Arthur Hunter, ac-
tuary OF a leading company, said they
were facts-were gathered last year by
experts In the employ of the forty
three leading companies In this coun-
try.
Mr.. Hunter didn't explain why the
unmarried woman survives the matron
nor why the business woman outlives
the business man, but he revealed why
the woman who takes unto herself an
endowment policy lasts longer than the
woman who has to die to win.
"The endowment woman just gets
up her spirit and determines to live
until the policy natures" he said. "The
other woman signs, oh, what's the
use?' and shufies off"
Mr.. Hunter said there were more
fatal accidents In this country than
elsewhere because of the American
"Ill take a chance" spirit. The Amer
lean, he said. takes all sorts of risks to
save time and inconvenience. The for

Disturbance on Pacific Coast.
RIVER LEVEL NEAR NORMAL.
All Danger From Water in the Po-
tomac Has Passed.

All danger from high water in the
Potomac in the vicinity of this city has
passed Today the water level in the
harbor is a little below the tidal aver
age at this season of the year. Saturday
night, when the wind whipped around to
the northwest and blew with consider
able. force, the high water in the river
began TO fall rapidly, and yesterday at
high tide the water did not come within
several inches of the platforms of the
lower wharves.
Owing to the fact that by far the
largest proportion of the pleasure craft
owned here is in winter quarters. and
also to the fact that the harbor here is
well protected from Il northeast storm,
but little damage was done at this city.
At the harbor office this morning it
was stated that only one report was re-
ceived of boat. a launch being missing.
That report came from Georgetown. The
little vessel was later recovered.
Today there are indicat atoms of a cur
rent III the river, caused by the coming
down stream of the water from the
heavy rainfall of the past two days. At
noon today the down-running water was
rolling under the Highway bridge in large
swiris The full strength of the current

time tonight or in the morning. No
danger from it is anticipated by the

CHAPTERS THRILLING
First Installment of "The Adven-

in Sunday Star.

Readers of The Sunday Star have had
the opportunity to read the opening in
stallment of THE Adventures of kath-
tyn'' and to see in print the story that
is being shown in the movies at sew
eral motion-picture theaters of Washing
ton this week. Enough thrilling situa-
tons are crowded into the opening in
stallment to please the most exactins,
and many writer's would have found it
easy to spread Kathlyn's initial adven-
lures over several chapters. But Harold
MacGrath's inventiveness is ample FOR
the task of maintaining interest in the
narrative, and further chapters, as read
ers will find, are crowded just as full of
action as was the beginning of the story.
The picture play of The Adventures of
kathlyn'' will be shown tonight at the
Washington Theater. 18th and L streets
northwest. Tomorrow afternoon and
night the pictures will be shown at the
Scenic, Wisconsin avenue near . street,
Georgetown. while residents of the north

night.
