Was Particular Friend Of the lmmort-
al Lincoln and Successor
to His Practice

Charles S. Zane, first chief justice
of the state of Utah, and for many
years terrorial Judge before Utah be-
came a state. died suddenly Monday
morning at the home of his daughter
Mrs. Margaret Zane Cherdon, 1901 s.
Ninth East street. Death was due
to a stroke of apoplexy.
Mr.. Zane retired early Sunday night,
and did not complain of feeling un-
well. When he did not appear at the
usual time Monday morning Mrs.
Cherdron entered his room and found
him lying on the floor partly dressed.
physicians were summoned but too
late to give him any aid. Since the
death of his wife Mrs. Margaret Zane,
about two years ago, he has made his
home with his daughter.
He retired from the active practice
OF law about fourteen months ago.
The last firm with which he was con
nected was Zane, Stringfellow 6 Whit
aker.
Was Friend of Lincoln.
Judge Zane was one of the best
known lawyers in Utah and succeeded
Abraham Lincoln in the law firm of
He4ndon G. Lincoln at Springfield, H.,
when Lincoln was elected President Of
the United States in 1860. He was one
of the close friends of President Lin
coin and accompanied him on his cam
paign tours. He was present at all
of the famous Lincoln-D Douglas debat-
es, which aroused the country prob
ably more than any political incident
in the history of the nation.
Judge Zane was born at Morristown,
N. J., March 2, 1884. For several
years he worked on a farm and then
went to Philadelphia, where he worked
in a store for more than a year. He
then worked for a government contrac-
tor who was building lighthouses
along what is now the Delaware break
water. He then acquired an interest
in a livery business in Philadelphia
and sold his interest to go to Illinois,
where, with his brother, he took up a
quarter section of land. Tfis was in
1852.

while 1000 cars from the Missouri

would be used, or 1920 tires.
The total expense of these tours,
including gas, oil, supplies, night stops

three people to the car, as estimated
by the Lincoln Highway association
is approximately $~4,470,OOO. The as

the teachers gained over him during
his campaign against Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young. At that time he had a meet
ing held in his ward, the 18th, the
object of which was to have Mrs.
Young assailed by the audience to
give him the excuse to openly oppose
Mrs. Young, saying the people of his
ward demanded the opposition. When
the meeting was held two-thirds of
the audience were teachers who were
loud in their approval of Mrs. Young.

"Mr. Holpuch has just returned
from California. Perhaps he is not
informed as to sentiment in favor Of
the increase, and perhaps he does not
know Of the public meetings at which
the present campaign being conduct
ed by the teachers was discussed and
indorsed.''
Holpuch said today that he was
suspicious Of any movement with
which Miss Haley was associated.
my fight is in the interest of
economy, he said. Instead of
spending $1,5OO,0OO more money, I
think the board of education should

STORY IN TRIBUNE
The Tribune in an apparent attempt
Thursday. morning to create public
sentiment against the increase in ap-
preparations the teachers are asking
the legislature to grant printed a
story of the discovery by job. A. HOl-
puch of an attempt to mulct the
state treasury.
AS a result of the yarn there were
Indignation meetings of protesting
teachers in half of the schools of the
city yesterday and today.
The story quotes Holpuch, member
of the board Of education, as saying
that he stepped in on a board meet
ing last night to discover that a sec
ret session was being held in which
a mysterious letter from Miss Mar
garet Haley addressed to Michael J.
Collins, president of the board, was
being read. The story would lead
one to believe that the letter was a
thing of horror, written with sole in
tent to promote some deep, dark
scheme to loot the treasury. There
follows no explanation of what said
letter is all about or whether it
amounts to anything at all.
There is an inference that the
board and the Chicago Teachers
Federation, of which Miss Margaret
Haley is an official, entered into
coalition.
There is nothing mysterious at all
about what the teachers federation
is doing" said Miss Haley today.
Every action was discussed in four
public mass meetings held in differ
ent parts of the city. There were at
least 1000 people at these meetings,
so the plan Of the teachers can be no
dark secret.

FOX HUNTERS IN THE WAR
Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That Sport in Britain Are Now at
 the Front

Waterloo, according to the duke of Wellington, was won on the playing fields of Eton. Should Britain emerge triumphant from the present conflict we may find someone rising to claim that the campaign in Flanders was won in the English shires. The shires are the headquarters of fox-hunting. which most humanitarians denounce. George Bernard Shaw, for example, has no words strong enough to con demn it with. MT. Jorrocks, the hero of sporting novel, describing fox hunting as war without its guilt and only 25 per cent of it's danger It has to be admitted, however, that they who follow the hounds have answered magnificently to their country's call.
 There are, 1t proves, 150 masters of hounds with the British colors, 5000 members of hunts and 1,500 hunt serv- ants. To them must be added the of ficers of the regular army who are ac- customed to ride to hounds, likewise numbering some thousands The total is an impressive one. It suggests that the real attraction of this sport may be that 1t is, as Jorrocks said, "a sort of war"

The question has often been asked: Was there any earlier race in occupa- tion of the area in Africa at present held by the Bantus? In Man w. H.

 These Miathoachiana are now be- lieved to be earth -gnomes, skilled in the art of iron working. MT. Beech. with some amount of plausibility, sug- gests that they were possibly bush men, pygmies, or both, and that they were a local indigenous race of the stone age who used flint instruments often found in the Kikuyu country. The Gumba are said to have made pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu the art of smelling. They may have been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but of this there is no evidence and the legend may tend to show that the first discovery of iron was made in Africa

MOST ABLE MEN NOT LARGE
Worlds Geniuses as ? Rule Have Been Only Medium or Even Less
 in Size.

We are inclined to look up to the physically big man, not only literally but there is always a certain presump- tion in his favor that he must be cor respondingly strong mentally, says a writer in Popular Mechanics. People make room for him; they attach more importance usually to what he says than to the same words uttered by an undersized man. We unconsciously picture in our minds the bayonet charge and storming of the trenches as the work of large men. The boy dreams of having a football physique and little sister worships her big brother.
 Other abilities being equal. the large man has positive advantage over the small man. And yet many, if not the majority of the great men of the world have been only of medium build and not a few were even undersized.
 A certain large city in this country had for years made it rule not to employ in it's fire department any but large men. The result was a small army of athletes which never failed to cause a positive thrill when ever they went on parade. They dis tinctiy represented the day os physi- cal might
 For some years past the inventive mind has been busy, and very sue cessfully, to produce apparatus which never tires, and calculated to trans fer to a great extent the hard work from muscle to machine. The evi- dences of this evolution may be seen in even small towns everywhere, and now the fire engine drawn by volun- teers and worked with hand brakes must be looked for in museums of strange mechanics of the past. In it's place is the selfpropelled gas-engined machine, carrying it's own hose and capable of highly effective work with only two men; and ladder trucks by means of which one small man ma nipulating some short levers can in a few seconds raise great ladders to dizzy heights, or pour deluge of water into tenthstory windows while standing in the street below. Hence 1t has come about that the man small of stature, but nimble of body and alert of mind is not only the peer. but often the superior of the giant in build. There yet remains some work for the big athletes, but it is growing less each year, and the man whom nature has not endowed with great physical strength is coming into his own.
