Amount Was Awarded In SANDER Case,
and Plaintiff Had to Sue to Collect.
Attorney Frank r. Martin sued John
Fl. Kane for 6 cents in Detroit and
won. The fact that the costs and time
involved in the case amounted to sew
eral hundred times the 6 cents did not
detract from the joy of the victory.
Martin sighed with satisfaction as he
jingled the six pennies which Kane
took from his pocket with great re-
luctance.
Several months ago Martin was re-
tanned by Kane's wife to represent her
in a suit for divorce against her hus-
band. Some time later Kane, among
other divers things, said to Martin:
you are a cur; you have ruined my
home"
Martin started suit for SANDER and
the jury awarded him cents. Kane
refused to pay. Martin then started
justice court action and the verdict
was in his favor.

The Chinese
God
Part 1t Played In a Rejected
Lovers Revenge
By RALPH COBINO
Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co.


Arkeld moved about his room study
ing detail. The arrangement Of the
flowers did not please him, and he rang
for his man.
'"This is right in coloring," he said
to the servant, mot in design. Oh,
your best doubtless'- He checked
apologies with a gesture. Nov work
under my supervision"
The result was bizarre, startling; a
mass of outrageous bloom in a quiet
room, for the room was quiet; 1t
breathed repOse and stiffness, limited
even at mOnOtOny.
Arkeld nodded to himself, well pleas
ed with the effect.
His eyes fell upon the only orna-
ments in the room, two small models
of Chinese gods which stood upon the
chimney piece.
His hand caressed one Of the grin
ming models. With q whimsical move
ment he stopped and whispered to it:
Tell Stella that there is another wo'
man in the heart and mind Of Godfrey
Liston. Be sure and give Stella the
message"
Then his guests-a Mr.. and Mrs. God
frey Liston-were announced.
They were a handsome couple, dis
tinguished in manner.
The lady's eyes took in at one glance
the arrangement of the room and OF
the flowers. She said quickly:
"Here you have artistic charm. Only
why introduce alien things"
"You mean the f1owers?"
"These particular flowers and their
arrangement"
Dinner was announced, and the talk
became trivial, leaving subtleties.
The meal was excellently cooked and
served. Stella noted the details, ap-
proving them.
She thought Of the days when she
had been engaged to Arkeld. She
thought also Of the day when she had
met Godfrey Liston.
Love had swept her off her feet
when she met Liston. Whereas Ar
keld-she had always feared Arkeld!
Fear had gone masked as love. Fear
had been in all her thoughts of Ar
keld when she wrote to tell him that
she could not marry HMM fact, that
she was going to marry Lston.
She had imagined to herself Arkeld's
reception or TnIS letter.
The fear that was within her por-
trayed something which would leap TO

q vivid showing Of hate. And Arkeld
had not turned this imagery of hers
into concrete thing.
He had made the astounding offer Of
his friendship.
1t was eight years since she had
seen Arkeld.
When the Listens had arrived in
town a few weeks ago Arkeld had
called, but found them out, an expert
ence reversed on their return call.
Then followed this invitation to din
ner. Could one refuse an olive branch!
Eight years was long time.
The talk was trivial, fippant. Stella
laughed at her own vOicing of mani
ties.
She was glad when she could escape
to the room of dim gray and leave the
men to their cigars.
She felt that this room voiced some
thing, was full of suggestions.
She thought of this room as an out
ward showing of the mind of Arkeld.
She wondered what part of him
found expression in the flame Of the
flowers. Anger, hatred, a desire to
punish
On the chimney piece stood the little
Chinese gods.
Stella moved over to them, staring
at them. The grotesque faces return

COMMISSION WOULD LIMIT
INHERITANCES TO $1,000, 600
Some Members of Board Find Vast
Fortunes Contribute to Unrest.

Vast fortunes and lack of work are
the chief causes of the prevalent indus
trial and social unrest in this country,
according to the summaries Of three
reports given out by the United States
commission on Industrial relations,
which were prepared for the use OF
congress.
The commission then went out Of
existence. During the two years OF
work none Of the members was able
to reach an agreement. over the vital
problems, so that none OF the three re-
ports can be properly called ''majori-
ty" report. The board was composed
Of three members representing employ
ees, three representing employers and
three representing the general public.
Only the first section of the principal
report, that made by Basil L. Manly,
director Of research and investigation
for the commission, has been made
public.
The Manly report finds that the so
cial unrest in this country is largely
due to the unequal distribution of
wealth. It recommends the enactment
of an inheritance tax so graded that,
while making generous provision for
the support Of dependents and the edu-
cation Of minor children, it shall leave
no large accumulation OF wealth to
pass into the hands which had no
share in its production.
In the belief that social and indus
trial unrest can be in a large measure
relieved by placing a million dollar
limit upon inheritances members of the
commission favor the establishment Of
a permanent industrial commission
which should be supported by the In
come derived from an inheritance tax
on large incomes.
It is proposed to graduate this tax
from 1 per cent on the excess of
$4,000 fortune to Is per cent on a
fortune Of more than $1,OOO,OOO. Other
provisions of the report:
Warn against industrial princes"
like the Rockefellers, Morgans, tricks,
Vanderbilts and Astors.
Urge the absolute right Of labor to
organize and the enactment Of nation
al eight hour and minimum wage laws.
Advocate a revision of land laws
and recommend litigation to regain
public lands, water power and miner
al rights obtained by fraud.
Urge taxation Of nonprOductive land,
but exemption of the Improvements
thereon.
Urge an amendment to the constitu-
ton providing in specific terms against
encroachment on rights of citizens to
free speech, jury trial, to keep and
bear arms, to freedom from excessive
bail and from cruel and unusual pun
iShment

German Application of Electric Forces
Destroys EntangIements.
The Germans have now some mystic
rious scientific device for clearing q
way through wire entanglements from
a considerable distance, says Petro-
grad disptach. The instrument has all
the appearance OF what is known as q
projector-that is, a searchlight. No
specimen has yet been captured and
nothing is known about it, except that
it disposes of wire entanglements from
a distance Of mile by some means at
present incomprehensible to the lay
mind.
Greek fire projectors have now made
their appearance on the western 'front.'
These also were apparently intended
originally to. fuse wire defenses, but
they can only operate from a maximurh
Of couple Of score yards. The new
instrument must probably be some nov.
ell and hitherto unknown application OF
electric forces.

LUSITANIA IN TEN VOLUMES.
Mrs. A. G. Vanderbilt Has Record ct
Press CLIPPINGS Compiled.

An unusual record of the destruction
of the Lusitania and the subsequent
developments in the case has been pre-
pared at the request of Mrs. Alfred G.
Vanderbilt. The record consists Of ten
volumes OF newspaper clippings con-
corning the sinking Of the ship by
German submarine. Each volume con-
tains 100 pages Of clippings, and Is an
inch and a half thick.
The books are bound in Russian le'
want and bear the inscription IS. 8.
Lusitania, May Z, 1915" Many Of the
clippings tell of the heroic last mo-
ments of Alfred G.. Vanderbilt, during
which he assisted women and children
on the sinking ship.
Mrs. Vanderbilt intends ultimately to
present the volumes to the library OF
Yale university.
Eqqs of Crabs and Lobsters.
Crabs and Holsters are Matched from
eggs, resembling upon birth nothing so
much as the animalculae shown by the
microscope in a drop of ditch water.
They are as unlike the shellfish they
are to become in mature life as grub
is unlike a butterfly. In the case Of
the crab the egg clusters are attached
beneath the animal after extrusion,
while with the lobster they become
fastened to the tail, which by its fan
ming motion increases the stream OF
oxygenated air through and among the
OYa.
