RICHARD TO BRING
BIG ONES TOGETHER
Perfeciing Plans to Have
Willard Meet the French
Champion
By H. G. Hamilton.

Il Omitted Press staff cOrrespoudent)
New York, Dec. 6.-The Willingness
with which this country has responded
TO the French need for relief funds
probably will have strong effect in
putting over the proposed bout in New
York between Jess Willard and Georges
Carpenter.
Tex Rickard, promoter Of the bout,
said today he has received strong assur-
ances That Carpenter will be given Il
month S furlough from the army provid-
ed his share of the purse and sum stat
ed by Rickard and McCracken is turned
into the French war relief fund.
Miss Anne Morgan, treasurer of the
fund, and Miss Elizabeth Marbury said
they have agreed to take charge of mon
ey collected for the fund through the
bout and Miss Morgan has guaranteed
bond of $150,000 for the safe return
| to France of the soldier-boxer.
/ Carpenter, i'll contract which should
be in his hands within few days, has
been guaranteed the sum of 100000
francs ($2O,000) and in addition will
receive $4,000 for training and travel
ling expenses.
He is expected to arrive in New York
about December 81, provided he is given
permission to make the trip
VIII Aid Relief Fund.
Rckard tackled an exceedingly trou-
blesome matter when he began TO plan
for Carpenter first appearance in the
United States. He found it would be
practically impossible for him unaided
to prevail upon the French government
for the soldier-boxer g release. 1t was
necessary for him to tie up negotiations
through the American fund for the
French wounded and hs found persons
connected with this in receptive mood.
Miss Morgan and Miss Marbury ad-
mitted they were apprised of the pro,
ceedings several weeks ago and agreed
to take charge of Cerpentier's share.
This will be turned over to relief work
in France, where, they said, it is badly
needed.
| Rickard has received tentative agree
ments from both Willard and Carpenter
to enter the ring. Willard has given
his word to meet any opponent which
may be selected for him by Rickard,
provided the opponent is not black. He
is expected to demand at least $4,000
for his share, but as Rickard never has
been known as u piker, it is more than
probable his terms will be met without
quiver.

KING PIN' JUST
 BUILT FOR COMEDY

Playgoers whose fancy runs to comedy have a treat in store for them when ''The King Pin'' comes to town. This is the new four-act play by Miss H. Virginia Kline, which comes to the Lyceum on Saturday matinee and night. Miss Kline is newcomer in the ranks of playwrights and in this, her first play, she is said to have evolved a story, which has many novel features. In view of the suc- cess which the comedy has already won, it is reasonable to suppose that it's author will be heard from again. In point of fact another play by her called ''The Cave Woman" has just been accepted by a prominent New York manager. "The King Pin" had it's premiere in Rochester on August A and has since been given Tn Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleveland and Baltimore, from which latter city it comes here. After the local engage ment it goes to New York, for what is expected to be a long run. The Tennant Producing Company, Inc, a new organization in the theatrical world, Is sponsor for the comedy. The actors possessing real merit have been engaged for The King Pin" George Marion, the eminent producer, who has staged it, has declared that he has never directed a more capable dramatic company. There are nearly twenty speaking parts. Tom Moore, well known in the cinema drama where he has appeared in the biggest serials notably "Who's Guilty" which ran for sixteen weeks, will play the title role. MT. Moore has appeared here in stock, and is one of the three famous Moore brothers, prominent in moving pictures, as is his wife, Alice Joyce, and his sister-in-law, Mary Pickford. Percy Helton who plays an irrepressible office boy, will be re- called as having scored a hit in 'Young America" and he also was with David Warfield in "The Return of Peter Grimm.'' Scott Cooper and Grace Henderson, prominent in Broadway productions for years, and Maud Hanaford and Editha Maxham, two of the most beautiful of the younger American actresses also are in the cast. Miss Hanaford is lead ing woman and plays the part of a musical comedy star. Others moro or less well known are Everett But terield, Robert Lowe, Edwin Fors- berg, Joseph Adedman, James SeeIey Wilson Day, Robert Smith, Ray John son, Charles Latte, Marie Day and Tracy L'Engle.

OLD FAVORITES BACK
 AT GRAND THIS WEEK

Max Spiegels Merry Founders" which opened a weeks enga cement at Grand theater Hartford, last evening, possesses the same snap and dash that has featured the Founders work in the past, and one of the largest au-
 diences of the first nighters'' of the season was on hand to greet the com
 pany. In his selection of the mem
 bers of the company to display just
 what Spiegel show means, the man. agement has used excellent judgment
 One of the best drilled choruses, pos sessing ability to sing, and capable of displaying the many beautiful cos tunes, which the company is abund- antly supplied with, adds to a show that is bound to please even the most critical of burlesqUe patrons.
 Heading the troupe arc the old fa- vOrites, Abe Reynolds and George F. Hayes, in the portrayal of Hebrew and rube characters and the regulations
 attained by this clever pair of enter tainers in seasons gone by are lived up to, an improvement if anything being l noted in their work. Reynolds is in deed funny. His vocal contribution of Il Don't Want to Be a Soldier" was greeted with rounds of applause last evening, necessitating several encores. The lmpersOnation of a rural gentle
 man, when handled properly, affords many opportunities for side-splitting laughter, and when it comes to being about the acme of perfection along these lines, leave it to George F.
 Hayes to capture first hOnOrs in a
 walk. There is something about the : manner in which MT. Hayes does his work that makes the audience feel lonesome when he is of stage,' and
 the popularity which Hayes has at
 tained in the Capitol City has no doubt
 been increased by those who heard
 him for the first time.
 Eugene Me Gregor and Frank Ward
 new members of the company this season, are valuable acquisitions to
 the troupe. Both boys are entertain
 CTS of the first water. MacGregor and Elizabeth Jane contributed a speciality
 in the second part. The act of Frank
 Ward differs entirely from any that has been presented at the theater heretofore. Starting his speciality with
 a song, ne dances, then gives some fa-
 c:al Representations of Bert Williams, ending his turn" with a dancing doll novelty.
 May Latham, the prima, donna, is a
 big favorite in Hartford, and still re- tains the ability to sing in pleasing manner. Ruth Wesley as the sou brette and Elizabeth Jane are be- witching. There is an octette com posed of eight naie voices. They render several hits in splendid man. ner and are generous with their en- cores.
 The burletta which is in two acts and eight scenes is entitled This Is the Life" The "plot' concerns run away girl, an elusive hat box and anx- ious father who is willing to outlay $5O0OO for her return.

They Do Exist

dreadful how Mrs. So-and-So looks"
 There is nothing they enjoy more than surprising you with the informa- ton that some friend is critically i'll.
 They are the kind who get just out of ear shot Of a sick person and whis- per about his conditions.
 It was a woman of this type who cheerfully assured member of my family who had had the hiccoughs for some hours that her cousin knew someone who got started hiccoughing, "and they had doctors and doctors, and nobody could stop them and final ly she died"
 A Pleasant Way to Greet a ConvaI-
 escent.
 It was a woman of this type who, On meeting my mother for the first time after nervous illness, greeted her with the reassuring comment, How you have fallen away!"
 My letter friend would be answer ing fool according to his folly if she answered, 'Wouldn't it be a shame if he should, get infantile paralysis ?" by saying, "Yes, and wouldn't it be aw- full if your husband were brought nome dead ?'
 But I don't suppose she would want to do that.
 So here's hoping that some of these people see this hint CD and wake up.
New Britain herald., 1916-10-10

'I want to ask if you can make some people understand" writes a let ter friend, that just because one hap pens to be the mother of big, healthy, active baby boy of seventeen months, that the infantile paralysis and that awful disease etc., are not enjoyable subjects to be greeted with everywhere one goes.
 Why I have even been stopped by My, aren't you afraid of that awful disease?' or Such a lovely baby! Wouldn't it be a shame if he should get that infantile paralysis?
 She Worried Enough Already.
 'To tell the truth I am worried enough without hearing such things. If you could reach some of these tact less people, I think many mothers would be grateful"
 It would be difficult to realize that such utterly tactless people exist, if it were not for corroborative evidence in ones own experience. We all know people of this kind who seem to take morbid interest in calamity.
 It is this type of people who, though they never consciously admit it to tn themselves, enjoy carrying about any tidbit of bad news.

Rose slips are grown successfully by first selecting a young shoot from the bush, cutting the end off with a sharp knife, clipping the leaves off and then putting the slip in the ground, covering about three joints where leaves were in the earth. Place q glass jar over the slip and leave it to grow. This should be done early in the spring.
