LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. S.
With mystic incantations and mutter-
ing strange curses to wish the evil
luck" on Under Sheriff Brain and the
deputies who raided the gypsy camp
near Lancaster, Cal, and brought
eight OF the chiefs to the county jail,
the queen of the band placed spell

The gypsy queen. black OF eye and
wild in gestures, Is one Of the strang-
est personalities ever held behind the
bars, and all day wardens, sheriffs
and visitors besieged her to tell their
fortunes or to impart to them the for
mulas OF her muttered threats and
curses.
But, flashing fire from her black
eyes and shaking small clenched
fist, the queen refused to be beguiled
into friendliness. Even though her
palm was crossed with silver. she
would not tell-although she did not

gypsy queen.
"He take-a my baby away-he take
away my bsby." she walled, with
threatening gestures toward the sher-

take-a me away and my baby--it is
from my arms. l wish all the evil
luck on him" And the black head
with its long braids and fastastic
headdress dropped low over her heav-

Under beetling brows the gypsy
queen soowled on the curious specta-
tors. Suddenly wonderful light
frightened her eyes, a smile radiated
her face and softened 1t till the fight

picture OF warm love. The arms that
had been waved above her head in

any doubt of it here, as everybody
who knows Mr.. Luke and his fighting
characteristics, knows that he will
never give up thing as long as these

he made such a fine race last year,

his chances will be even better this
year when he has had an opportunity
to become better known.

WASHINGTON PAPERS
PAY BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
TO GEORGIA WOMAN

Atlanta, March 1O.-A beautiful
tribute to we'll known Georgia wo-
man, Mrs. w. ]. Harris, wife OF the di-
rector of the U. S. census, and daugh-
ter of the late General Joe Wheeler, is
paid by another well known Georgia
woman and writer, Helene Armstrong
Harmon, in an article written in Wash
ington which has just reached here.
Some women have positive genius
for motherhood" says the writer, "and
Mrs. William j. Harris is such a wo-
man and such mother. Her interests
center in the rearing and training of a
small daughter with a ower-like face,
and every subject that touches remote
ly upon child welfare is of interest to
her.
and into the administration of her
husbands affairs, Mrs. Harris puts the
best of her enthusiasm. Though she
looks with admiration upon those wo-
men whose qualities of leadership have
caused them to take a constructive
part in the shaping of their husbands
careers, her own methods of assistance
in this line are gentle, the indirect ones
of the woman who is essentially do
nestle
Mrs. Harris is one of several wo-
men whom a democratic administra-
ton has brought to Washington from
the far South. She has the cordiality
of manner, and the hospitality which is
a tradition with the women of h n
state, and which will contribute large
ly to her popularity at the capital"
