MAY TRY Slayer Of
PRIEST IN SECRET
RUMORS OF WOMEN'S THREATS
AGAINST MRS. DUDEk MAY
RESULT IN BARRING CROWD.

Insisting that the authorities were
attempting to 'foop' them and hold
secret trial, score of the women spec
tators in criminal court refused to
leave the room today after Mrs. Amelia
Dudek, confessed slayer of Father
Henry Jajeski, pleaded not guilty to
an Indictment charging her with muir
der in the first degree.
After Mrs. Dudek's arraignment the
crowd Of women refused to leave and
bailiffs had difficulty in convincing
them that the session had ended. Mrs.
Dudek' s trial was set for March Is.
Rumors that the women of st CAST
Mrs parish have threatened to harm
Mrs. Dudek, were brought to the at
tention of the authorities with the re-
suit that she probably will be tried be-
hind closed doors. This will be done,
Judge Dickson intimated, if Sheriff
Wagner is unable to take precautions
to insure the safety of the prisoner.
No demonstration was made in the
court room during the woman's ar
raignment but it is feared that dur
ing her trial, serious outburst may
occur.

1.-THE Birth Of Nation" D. W.

an Inspiring story of romance, love
and patriotism eliminating in the
times that tried mems souls" the
times of Civil war and resurrenction.
Suggested by Thomas Dixon's "The

scope and imparts a vastly greater
thrill. New York, Chicago, Boston,

crowded for many months the thea
tiers where it was being simultane-
ously played.
For the first time in theatrical
history motion picture spectacle is
bein presented as a regular attraction

This Coming Spring and Have
Good Chances of Winning
Many Points.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-That q
stretch of many thousand miles OF
land or water no longer acts as bar
to amateur sports contests is to ne
again demonstrated during the COM
ing season of outdoor competition.
Sweden is to send a track team Of her
best athletes to America for series
of International meets and almost ev-
ery college schedule shows one or
more intersectional contests. This IS
particularly true in the 1916 football,
rowing, baseball and athletic dates.
A five to ten-day trip across the
continent no longer phases the Pacific
coast athlete. Stanford and Call
fornia universities are both likely to
be represented in the big eastern and
middle western intercollegiate track
meets with more than an even chance
that one or both varsity crews will
row at either Ithaca or Poughkeep-
sic. California is at present mem
Der Of the eastern intercollegiate as
sociation and Stanford has made ap-
plication for election to membership
at the next annual meeting.
( Both Stanford and California have
competed. off and on for some years,
in the middle-western conference
meets. California also has invaded
the eastern Intercollegiate champion
ships, but Stanford has never sent her
athletes to the Atlantic coast for a
test against the pick of the EASTERN
universities. The two Pacific coast IN
stitutions are expected to have unus-
ually strong track and field teams
this year and IL they enter fair-sized
squads in the eastern and middle
western intercollegiate meets. which
are set for succeeding Saturdays, the
far coast collegians are likely to prove
factors of great Importance in the
final apportionment of points.
The conference records show that
In recent years these universities have
scored victories In many events. In
1910 both were among the leading
point-vinners. A year later Cali
fornia was third out OF thirteen,
Missouri and Chicago taking first and
second places. California won In
1917 from a field Of fifteen polnt-win-
ming colleges. The succeeding season
fine Berkely athletes ran fourth and
IN 1914 stanford was second and Cal
ifornin sixth out Of twenty-one col
leges to score.
cslifornia's record in the eastern
Intercollegiate dates back to 1895,
when the coast athletes won NTH
Mace with seven points. They came
hack again in 1900 and took sixth
Mace with eight points. and two years
later were seventh with nine. After a
ianse of eleven years California tried
again and won seventh place with ten

with eighteen points, Last season at
Philadelphia California did not COM

points.
Elghty-four OF these have been lost
