JAN BONE FOUND IN
A SOLDIERS WOUND
French Surgeons Find Many
Funny Wounds, Caused by
Secondary ProiectiIes.

tcorrespondcnce OF Associated Press.
Z PARIS, Jan. 20. The remarkable
wounds that are caused by ricochet-
ting bullets and secondary projectiles,
and are being discovered by surgeons
in ever increasing variety are com
mented ON by Henri de varigny, In
the Debat. 3 q
Not only are deformed bullets FREE
quently found in wounds, but with
them such unusual substances as
bits Of bone from the bodies of other
men, metal and medals and money,
pieces Of cloth and other articles.
The presence of these extaneous
substances in wounds Invariably
means that they have been projected
by ricochetting bullets. An oficer
recently was found to have been In
jured by part Of the forearm OF one
of his men, one man was struck by a
stone that had been projected by a
bullet.
Z In another case part Of one mans
jaw bone was picked out of another
mans body wound; still another SOL
der lost the sight Of his eye by being
struck with a fellow-soldier's tooth.
From the various field hospitals
come reports of finding In supposed
bullet wounds such unusual objects
as buttons, nails, fragments OF eye
glasses, pieces Of teeth. slivers Of
wood and bone, eyelets, scraps Of
Gather and coins.
In on case a projectile struck a
mans pocket and glanced of without
even scratching the skin, the bullet
hit another man, and In the wound
were found bits Of cloth from the
first soldiers uniform, and 90 de-
formed pieces Of gold from coins that
were forced out Of the pocket.

women DO THE
most BUYING
Ninety Per Cent of Purchases
Are Made by Center Sex,
Says ain Anti"

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. Ninety
per cent of-the purchases made in the
shops and stores Of this country ev-
cry day are made by women" This
statement was made by one Of WASH
ington's most prominent "anties," who
has recently returned from conven-
ton In New York Of those who o,,.
pose the cause OF woman's vote.
Apparently this fact that women are
the buyers OF the race has some di-
rect bearing on the argument that
they should not have the vote. The
argument probably is that they have
privileges enough without asking for
more.
But aside from the question OF sun
rage or, no suffrage II is an inter.
esting fact -tliis fact that women
make 80 per cent of the purchases.
Doesn't 1t mean that II. Is fwonan,s
taste that, in the END, guides. thss man
ufacturers Of conlmodi ties and directs
the merchants who, buy, from these
manufac turers.
Take furniture and interior fixings
alone. Women make 80 per cent Of
the purchases of, furniture and car
pets and rugs and Curtains. Men are
too busy to go out shopping. BUS
tness nowadays takes 50. much of a
mans time thatshe leaves the import
ant work Of lselec citing :tl1e furniture
for his house ITO the women his
wife, his sister, or his mother. He
trusts her too, and knows that prob
ably her taste. Is better than his, that
she Will be able sto but what he. win
like better than he would himself.
AS result Of this tendency women
have become educated as buyers while
men have not. Women have become
discriminating. They have learned
the science Of shopping. 1t Is one Of
the most important things that they
haxe to do. N

DEMOT|ON CASE
DECISIONS PUT
OFF, TEMPORARILY

The Police Board will make no fur
ther effort to denote the nine lieu
tenants and nine sergeants against
whom action has been taken until the
question of the right of the Fire
Board to denote the battalion chiefs
are settled. This was the announce
ment made this afternoon by Presi-
dent Breidenbach, of the Police
Board, following a conference with
Colonel Alexander r. Fordyce, of the
Civil Service Commission, and City
Counsel Spaldlng Frazer.
President Briedenbach said that
there was so much uncertainty as to
just what the board could do il would
await the official opinion from the
attorney-generars office on the bat
talon fire chiefs, and following that
the advice of the Civil Service Com
mission.
Following the decision of the State
legal department in the cases of the
five battalion fire chiefs denoted by
the fire board recently, a decision
which seems to apply to policemen
as well, an effort was made to have
House Bill SIG enacted into law. The
bill, which provided that civil service
employees whose offices were abolished
might be denoted to the next lower
rank, and which also provided that
their names be placed on a list which
would take precedence over the regu-
lar civil service lists when promo
tions were made, died with the Legis-
lature. 1t had passed the Legislature
had been vetoed by the Governor and
passed over the veto by the Assem-
bly,, but didn't get to the Senate for
action before adjournment.
Mrs. Mary McGurty, matron of the
Fourth precinct, whose husband was
a policeman and who died during De-
cember, 1912, applied to the board for
a pension claiming that her husband
died from the effects of an injury re-
ceived during the performance of his
duty in 1911. He had attempted to
board a trolley car and fell off. De-
cision was reserved.

NOT GUILTY PLEA
BY MRS. MUNSON.
Who GIVES BAIL
Woman Accused in Edgewater
Bank Case Answers to Three
Indictments.

Mrs. Lillian Camp Munson, who was
arrested in San Francisco a week ago,
charged with completely in the rob-
berry of the First National Bank of
Edgewater, was arraigned before
Federal Judge Haight in the United
States Court here today, and pleaded
not guilty to three indictments found
against her. She was released on
$4,000 bail to await trial.
When arraigned, Mrs. Munson ap-
peared. perfectly calm and self-pos-
sessed. She was represented by
Mirabeau L. Towns. of New York.
and the court procedure was speed
lily concluded.
Mrs. Munson was arrested on in
formation tending to show that she
was implicated with Ralph Lowell n
looting the Edgewater Bank. The
man, who is alleged to have stolen
$4,000 in cash and $105,000 in nego-
table notes, is said to have been i'm
PEELED to the robbery through his
love for the woman.
Mrs. Munson stepped up to her
counseps desk when her name was
called and appeared to be the coolest
person in the courtroom. She gave
no evidence of knowing she was tbs
object of much public curiosity. In t,
clear, steady voice she answered
mot guilty when the three counts
in the Indictment were read to he's.
Judge Haight refused to permit her
counsel to plead for her. because he
had not been admitted to practice in
the Federal courts of this State.
Later, while Mr.. Towne was in con
sultation with United States District
Attorney ]. Warren Davis, Mrs. Nun
son waited in an ante-room. Asked
about the report that Lowell had de-
posted $4,000 to her credit in New
York bank, she said:
"Why, that's absurd. It's the first
time I ever heard of it. If there is
10000 to my credit don't know any
thing about 1t, and I imagine that II
he meant the money for me he Would
have told me something about it,
Mrs. Munson said she met Lowell In
New York in 1918 and fell in love with
him. She said she was under the inn
preston that he was rich man and
never had an idea that he was a
salaried teller in the Edgewater bank.
"All I can say about this charge is
what I told the court" said Mrs.
Munson. 81 am not guilty of conspir-
ing to rob the bank and will prove |,
when the case comes to trial, I'm
sure.

BAN ON MOVIES
Of PRIZE FIGHT
TO Be TESTED
WiIIard-Johnson Promoters Be-
gin Proceedings Here to Have
Pictures Admitted.

Moving pictures of the Willard
johnson fight at Havana will be
shown in this country If the legal
battle begun here today by the pic
ture promoters is successful. For
mer United States Senator Charles A.
Towne and Benjamin +. Spellman, of
New York, demanded that the chief
deputy collector of the port of New
ark admit the pictures.
Frederick S. Freed, in charge of
the customs office here, refused per-
mission to bring the films into New
ark. With this refusal as a basis for
action, counsel for the promoters will
seek a mandatory injunction "pre-
venting and restraining the collector
of the port of Newark from refusing
to allow the pictures to be entered
into this port upon the paying of the
customary duty"
On July 81, 1912, Congress passed a
law prohibiting the importation or in
terstate transportation of motion pic
lures showing prize fights. This was
generally believed to be the result of
the Jeffries-Johnson fight, the govern
ment fearing race trouble if the pic
lures were shown.
1--WE will begin right away our con-
test to have this law declared uncon-
stitutional," said former Senator
Towne today.
Mr.. Spellman declared his law firm
represents l.. Lawrence Weber, of
New York, one of the principal pro-
moters of the fight and owner of the
moving pictures showing the contest.
When they attempted to bring
pictures of the Welsh Ritchie fight
into this country" said Mr.. Spellman,

FINES OF $4,000
ON OPIUM MEN

Fines of $4,000 were imposed by
Judge Charles p Orr in the United
States District Court today upon John
Warner, of New York city, and Sam
uel Felmette, of Newark, negroes,
who were convicted in the Federal
Court last week of the manufacture
and illegal sale of opium. AS soon
as they were sentenced the men were
placed in charge of the United States
marshal and will be removed to the
Essex county Jail.
Neither man has sufficient money
with which to pay his fine, and, as
there was no time sentence they will
be held in Jail while Federal officials
make an investigation to determine
whether they have any property
which can be levied upon for the pay
ment of their fines. If not they can
take the oath of poverty after being
in Jail thirty days and secure their
release, there being a Federal statute
which provides this relief for pris-
oners who are unable to pay their
fines.

HAY AND COAL
FIRE CAUSES
MUCH ALARM

Fire. which was believed to have
been started by mischievous small
boys, destroyed an old frame barn
full of hay in the coal yard of Linde-
man & Co. Badger avenue and Bige-
low street. about 1:s0 o'clock this
Gated to a pile of seventy-five tons of
soft coal in the basement of con-
crete building about twenty feet
away.
Two alarms were rung at almost
the same moment, one from the box
at the corner of Hawthorne and Bel
mont avenues, and the other from
the box at Clinton and Jelliff ave
nues. Arthur Bindeman, manager of
tine company, was sitting in his office
when a passerby told him the barn
was afire. He looked out to find the
entire building ablaze, with flames
breaking out of the roof and sides
in all directions.
About that moment James Geste-
meier, driver, twenty years old, who
lives at lis Howard street, came
along, and, thinking horses were in
the building. threw off his coat and
ran into the stable to rescue them.
He found they had been taken out,
and came out of the building himself
only to find that his coat had been
burned.
Flames Spread Quickly.
The flames spread quickly to a new
concrete building about twenty-five
feet away from the frame barn. In
the cellar of the new building was a
pile of about seventy-five tons of soft
coal, which was burning before the
firemen reached the scene. Heavy
clouds of smoke billowed up from this
building and attracted a crowd of
1000 people from the factories in the
neighborhood.
In spite of the> large number of spec
tators. the police were able to handle
the crowd without stretching fire
lines.
