VIRGINIA IS NOT
ANEXTRAVACANr
IRON RANGE CITY
Chicago Newspaper. Man Says
Queen City of the Iron Ranges
Is Greatest Small City Of
Which He Knows In Varied
Newspaper Experience.
Dazzled BY Lights on Central
Avenue and Public Buildings
Thinks Virginia Is Without
Opposition Greatest Small
Town In the World.

Virginia is the greatest small city in
the world. This is the opinion of Rich
ard Henry Little, star Of the staff of
the Chicago Herald, who is a Vir-
ginia visitor today on a. trip over the
Iron Ranges for the greatest inde-
pendent newspaper in the world, the
Chicago Herald.
'This is magnificent" said Mr.. Little
last night on his way to the New Fay
hotel, as he looked down Central ave-
nue. at the ornamental lighting system.
II understand" he continued, that
Virginia is not one Of the extravagant
towns Of the Range, and I should say
that it is not. The main thoroughfare
of your town, Chestnut street, seems
to need cleaning badly. It is beau
tiful street, but the south side of it is
covered with ice and snow. l have
heard that your Mayor Boylan is
famous democrat and that he stands
high in the Democratic councils of
Minnesota. l am sure if this is true
he must be out of town, from the looks
Of your Chestnut street.
"Your American Exchange bank
building and your First National bank
building are a credit to your city.
You have magnificent school build
ings. l do not see that the charge of
extravaganza can be laid at your
door, but l am informed that there
are wonderful things on the Range"
Mr.. Little is at Hibbing today. Ac-
cording to reports which reach this
city that village is in a considerable
uproar over the Harrison per capita
tax bill: Mr.. Little said this morning
he proposed to interview w. J.
Power, C. M. Atkinson, VIM. West
and John A. Redfern Of Hibbing. This
will afford him an opportunity to get
both sides of the question at Hibbing.
Mr.. Little's story from Virginia to
the Chicago Herald last night loaded
the local wire. There is general in
terest in its reception which will come
with the current issue of the Herald,
on sale in Virginia news stands to-
morrow.

GERMAN COACHES ARE
LOADED WITH BACTERIA

BERLIN, March 25.-German rail-
way cars returning from the front in
Russia according to an order of the
railway authorities, must now be pla-
carded with the following inscription:
From Russia-Epidemic Danger
Before reloading must be disinfected."
The regulation further prohibits the
use of upholstered cars in Russian
Poland so far as possible owing to the
difficulties of disinfecting them.
The insect pest is described as a
real danger to the German troops, for
the parasites, as has been discovered,
carry spotted fever from man to man.
Not a few German soldiers have sue
cumbed to it there. Soldiers letters
are accordingly appealing for insect
powders and other protective prepara-
tions; and the mails have been 50
flooded with these that the postoffice
has had to issue orders excluding all
mercury preparations from the mails.
Fortunately the soldiers are able to
see the humorous side of the matter,
as is shown by the names that have
been adopted for the different classes
of insects. Some are called infantry
others "cavalry." Still another name
for the latter is the "black hussars. u
The Cologne Gazette soberly suggests
that the soldiers adopt the practice Of
the Arabs, that of keeping their heads
shaven, "in order to leave no room
, for quartering foreign visitors"

that the Germans are determined to
make another attempt to break
through the Allies lines in this Sec

LONDON, March 25.-The mine
sweepers alone maintain the naval
activity in the Dardanelles, but as the
equinoctial storms in those waters
seldom last over seven days, resump-
ton of the bombardment is expected
at any time. 1t may possibly occur
today. It is just one week since the
last engagement. The battle in the
Carpathians which has developed into
most important phase of the land
fighting is now progressing on either
front. There are no definite indica-

upper hand in the encounter which
may decide the mastery in the Car
pathian passes and the gateway to
Hungary.

are under arrest here, charged with
participation in a conspiracy to sup
ply soldiers at the front with the
means of tricking the army surgeons

SUNDAYDEFENDS
CETTINCBICPRICE
FOR S0ULSAVINC
Compares Earnings In His Fight
With Devil to Those of the
Prize Ring.

WlNONA LAKE, lnd., March Z0.-
Billy Sunday is tempted sorely tonight
to sign articles for knockout fight
with the devil in Chicago during the
dry campaign in 1916.
Once he exploded emphatically with
"You bet, I'll do it," when the posi-
bilities Of the battle were borne home
to him. Then he as quickly reconsid-
cred and expressed doubt whether he
should go. Mrs. Sunday, active part
ner of her husband in his labors, is
keen for the Chicago campaign.
Wife Urges Him to Come.
"That's great fight they're going
to have up there in Chicago; you ought
to be in it," were her words to her
husband ten minutes after neighbors
had escorted them in triumph on their
return from Philadelphia.
1T seems to me that the west side
is all that is after me-" he said. 81
don't want to go to Chicago unless I
can preach to the whole city.
"Come to think Of it, in Chicago
there's liable to be pickering about
where the tabernacle is to be located
and that sort of thing"
Mr.. Sunday finally said that if he
does go to Chicago he'll have to force
an opening wedge into his tentative
schedule for next year to do it.
Has a Good Appetite.
He invited the Tribune representa-
tive to the family dinner, said a short
and emphatic grace, and then ate like
a hungry man.
IF any of those delegations of
preachers that I've been wiring to keep
away from here insist on coming they
won't find me-" Mr.. Sunday averred
between bites. "1'm going to play
medicine ball, rake leaves, and frolic
with the squirrels"
Talks of His Income.
Mr.. Sunday was told by his visitor
that criticism of him as capitalizer
of religion from a mercenary stand
point justified some questions that or
dinarily would be impertinent.
my financial affairs are open to
the world" responded Mr.. Sunday.
"Everything I get is known to the
newspapers. I couldn't keep them Sc
cret if l wanted to.
AT that, the liquor people have lied
about them. In one of my campaigns
they boosted the contributions by $5,-
900 and cut down the actual number of
converts 5000.
"What is your income?" asked the
interviewer, thus encouraged.
II don't know" was the easy reply.
"The newspapers have printed all Of it.
They know and l don't. l haven't
kept any statistics in twenty years. I
know l religiously give one-tenth Of
all l get to the Lord"
But He Warns Up to Cash Talk.
Mr.. Sunday finally became warm on
the money question.
"Here they go and holler because I
make more money than some other
preachers. They might as well holler
because some one doctor or some one
lawyer makes more than others of the
same profession"
Then he added the singer of the in
terview.
Johnny Kilbane and somebody else
go in and fight for eighteen minutes
in prize fight at $500 side. That
is $3O5.50 a minute for each prize
fighter for the time he puts in.
"Were l paid for the time I put in
on the platform fighting the devil al
the rate these men are for fighting
each other my campaign in Philadel.
phia would have brought me four mil
lion dollars"

LAMP POST USED TO
ANCHOR JITNE; FALLS DOWN

When F. Jopp, a nickel car driver, got
out of his machine at the plaza at $3.50
Saturday night TO look al the tail light
the car started down the slight incline OF
Mesa avenue. To stop It Jopp held to
the machine with one hand and threw
his arm around a lamp post.
Il was then that the trouble started.
The post, an iron affair with a goose
neck, broke loose from the sidewalk
and fell over into the street. barely
missing Jopp. The attached wires held
firmly and the weight o. the falling post
pulled from its foundation the post in
the rear. and it also toppled into the
street. The post ahead held firmly. but
the wires came down Immediately in
front of a machine a few feet IN front
of Jopp's car, and the occupants, includ-
ING a woman, were badly frightened
Two policemen were at the scene in a
moment and kept people in the vicinity
away from the wires. Jopp Is of the
opinion that a lamp post that could be
pulled down BY hand was not very Sc
curely anchored.
