MILLIONAIRES KEEP
AN ARMY OF GUARDS.
Live In Continual Fear of
ASSaSSinatiOn---TWO WO-
men Guard FriCk

New York, March S.-Threats from
Would-be assassins and bomb plotters
have so terrorized millionaires that
they are spending thousands daily to
protect their lives, families and prop
erty, it was learned today.
The financial districts are honey
combed with high priced "shadows Z"
who always dog the footsteps of Daniel
G. Reid, Judge Z. II. Gary, Vincent
Astor, Henry Clews, Charles NJ. Schwab,
Henry c. Frick and others.
Two trim women, apparently chatting
social small talk, hustle along, watch
ing everyone. Inside their carelessly
dangled fur muffs are automatic pis-
tolls. They are Frick S guards and are
never 20 feet away from him. Men
shadow him too.
Since j. p. Morgan was shot, he has
built up an intricate system Of defense.
Encasing his own offices and those in
adjoining buildings are roofs of bomb
proof steel nets. Tests have proved
that high explosives can do no more
than dent them.
The stock exchange is similarly net

Enforcement Of Traffic
Laws Up To Police

Secretary Olcott today received a
postal card signed cone Among Others

ing that Gin La Grande a taxi and a
private car are wearing 1915 yellow
license tags. In Condor one or more
cars are decorated in yellow. What To-
cal political pull grants or condones
this privilege7"
Mr. Oleott stated again today as he
has many times declared publicly be-
fore that the enforcement of the pro-
visions of the motor vehicle law is vest
ed In the local peace officers, any viola
tions of the law should therefore be
directed to their attention. The duties
of the secretary of states office un-
der the law are only to register motor
vehicles and chauffeurs and furnish
proper license plates and badges and it
is not vested with police powers.
Registration appears to be made more
promptly this year than during previous
years. At least the number of applica
tions for 1916 licenses received to date
would so indicate. Up to March Z
1916, applications for the registration
of 1900 automobiles, 1875 motorcv-
eles, 1925 chauffeurs and 1Sl dealers
have been received, while up to March
!, 1916, applications had been received
for the registration of l3,260 automo-
biles, 1860 motorcycles, 100 chauf-
feurs and l08 dealers.

Bad Check Man Paid
One Bill But Forgot
To Mention Others

A young man passed a bad check to
Miss Ora Pogue for $l1 and after she
found out the true state of affairs she
gave chase in an auto and compelled
the man to return $40 in cash to her
1t appears, however, that the young

Salem for $11 but he forgot to men
ton the matter when he settled up
with Miss Pogue and then he left the
city before anyone else got on his

The young man entered the hair
dressing parlOrs of Miss Pogue late
yesterday and purchased some articles
and rendered a check signed with the
name of DR.. w. A. Cox, the dentist.

that the check was a forgery and then
she hunted the man up and forced him
to pay her back $40 and he promised
to call this morning and give her the
other dollar Today another bad
check for $1l appeared, but no trace
o fthe young man can be found.

GET RID OF HUMORS
Hoods SarsapariIla is the Medicine
to Take-Makes Pure Blood.

Dry, moist, scaly tetter, pimples,
boils, and other eruptions come from
humors, which may be either in
herited, or acquired through defec-
tive digestion and assimilation.
To treat these eruptions with dry
ing medicines is dangerous.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reli-
able medicine, helps the system to
discharge the humors, and improves
the digestion and assimilation.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla from your
druggist. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon to do its work. 1t purifies
the blood, tones the stomach, and
builds up the whole system. 1t goes
to the roots Of diseases, and its bene-
fetal results are permanent. It sets
things to rights in the system. Re-
member to ask for Hoods Sarsapa-
rilE because nothing else acts like it
and nothing else can take its place.

1t is becoming the proper thing for
musicians to take the audience into
their confidence at a concert, which re-
suits in the audience realizing a greater
and keener appreciation of what the
musician is trying to express. And
that is what the Schumanns did last
night at their concert at the armory,
when they told the history of the num-
bers given and what the music repre-
sented to those who ere lted it. The
theme chosen for this concert was
ROmantieism, which received its in
spiration from the early romantic liter
ature and which was at its height
about one hundred years ago. This
music is marked by the strange, mys-
terioso, fantastic, effusive elements,
like the mfathOmable caprices Of a girl
in love. 1t appeals to the neart, to the
childlike in human nature, and that is
why this concert was success.
Notwithstanding over hun.
dred years ago-according to Lambert,
leader of the quintet, the themes for OPP
eras was taken from the classical lore
of Greece and the ancient world. But

opera music was marked, for ne chose
