today to the police search for the man who
murdered him.
The victim was found by Joseph Di.

last night. and died in the Pennsylvania

Members Of the murder squad from the
Detective Bureau searched all night for
Mariana Altndonna. but were unable to
find him. The search Is stIli going on,
and the police believe the man cannot
escape them much longer.
According to the detectives, their inves-
tigaton showed that jealousy was the mo-
tive of the crime II Is believed that both
Strazaieri and Altadonna were infatuated
with girl who worked in a factory at
9Th and Carpenter streets where they
were employed.
Altadonna lives on 9th street near Car
penter, the police say, and watch is
being kept on the house, but he has not
returned there.

max to day OF strife. He and Alta

room of the factory at the end of the
day. The detectives learned that Straz-
zieri threw a bucket of water over Alta
donna and that he taunted him about an
appointment he Is said to have had with
the young woman for last night.
A fight on the corner OF 18th and Car
penter streets was interrupted by the APP
proach of a policeman The men fought
again when they reached 18th street, and
again at 10th street. The police have
been unable to trace either man from
thre, and It is not known whether either
of them met the young woman last
night
The police do not know the exact loca-
tion where the stabbng occurred. 1t
Is thought that the murderer lay in wait
in an alley for Strazzieri to pass and
then stabbed him without warning. A
trail of blood led to 10th and Montrose
streets. 21s squares from the home Of
Diomonia. and 1t is regarded as likely
that the crime occurred near there, al

the injured man should have run all the

The CRESCENT MOON.
Artists Have a Knack of Getting 1t
Wrong In Pictures.

Wrong In Pictures.
It is astonishing how many artists
spoil what otherwise might be good
pictures by enormously depicting the
concave side of the moon turned to
ward the place of sunset, writes Percy
Johnson In Popular Astronomy. The
convex or lighted side of her crescent
is always presented to that part OF the
sky In which the sun Is situated.
The new moon appears first as deli
cate crescent in the evening soon after
sunset and sets almost Immediately
The following morning it rises soon
after the SUM- Night after night it ap-
pears as a larger crescent farther and
farther from the sun, but always with
the Illuminated side directed toward
the latter.
When about seven days old the moon
shows half her surface lighted up. She
is then in her first quarter and is
Just on the meridian at sunset. The
gibbous phase is now entered upon un-
til full moon, when she rises as the sun
sets and is on the meridian at midnight
Now the light begins to disappear on
the side opposite the sun and the light
ed side is directed toward the east
She rises about midnight when she has
reached her last quarter" and gradu-
ally the crescent diminishes, and she
is seen only in the light of the dawn.
Then she is lost in the suns rays to
emerge again a few days later as q

Duelino.

1t is generally agreed that dueling
took it's rise from the judicial combats
of the Celtic nations. The first formal
duel in England was that between VIII
liam Count of Eu and Godfrey Bay
nard about the year 1896. Dueling
was at it's height in France about
1900, though it was pretty popular as
late as 1923, in which year Francis
1. sent challenge to Charles V. In
England dueling was checked In the
army in 1892 and gradually disappear
ed from civil life with the coming of
more enlightened public opinion. Duel
ing was never as popular in this coun-
try as it was in Europe, but never
theless many famous duels have been
fought here. The code may be said
to have received it's death sentence
when Burr killed Hamilton. The de-
cline after that was steady until it

then that his friends private secre-

night. 1t was a silk frock coat, but
tercup yellow and heavy with jewels.
'HOw much may you be worth with
your coat on?' the prince was asked.
"About 100000" was the reply.
Il am poor man beside you," said
his friend sadly. "My dress coat Is
worth not much more than half that
amount"

IS FEELING FINE.
Editor of World Returns
From Chicago; Says
Hughes Is Winner.

Eugene Lorton, editor OF The
World, returned yesterday from Chi
cago after a months absence. lie went
to Chicago as delegate to the Re
publican convention. Reports that
reached here concerning his Illness
were greatly exaggerated MIR. Lor-
ton is feeling better than he has for
many months and looks the picture
OF health. Mrs Lorton and their son
Robert Eugene will remain in Chicago
and vicinity for the balance of the
heated term.
The nomination of Hughes proved
been done" said Mr. Dorton yester-
day. Roosevelt has proved himself
patriotic American and his refusal
to accept the Progressive nomination
marked the end of the Bull Moose
party. The men who were strongest
for Roosevelt prior to the convention
are now among the most ardent sup
porters of Mr. Hughes.
Hughes is a scholarly man. with a
mind of his own. Like Wilson. he
will use his own judgment to a large
extent. but he is so far above Wilson
in intellect, diplomacy and tact that
partisan and will not play politics.
All over the country it is conceded
even by many leading Democrats that
the election of Hughes is assured.
Wilson will hardly get as many votes
as he did before. He needs a great
many more to he elected"

BROKEN ARROW
BE ON NEW LINES?
Proposed Intcrurban To Wagner
Completes One Survey; May
Not BE Final.

Engineers of the proposed Tulsa e
Wagner interurban railroad have
just completed a survey of a line
which cuts mile off the former
route and which misses the town of
Broken Arrow. Comparison of the
two projects are now occupying the
time of the promoters of the road and
it is probable that Broken Arrows
fate will be decided within a week.
According to II. ID. Patee, promoter
OF the road. the interests who will
build the line are in favor of going
through Broken Arrow and although
it will be a distinct disadvantage it
is probable that the city will get the
new interurban.
There are no other developments in
the proposition and it is said that the
road is being held until the Iron
Mountain railroad is reorganiZed. The
interurban would connect with this
road at Wagner.

CITY LOSES MONEY
BY POLICE TREATY
City Prisoners Now Housed
in County Bastile Can't
Work on Roads.

The transfer of the city prison.
ers from the dilapidated and ILL
smclling hole beneath the police sta
tion to the county Jail on the fourth
floor of the county courthouse will
mean daily loss of hundreds Of dol
lars a week to the citizens of Tulsa,
because the city will be unable to
use those serving out sentences on the
street gangs.
when Mayor ]. II. Simmons Chief
OF Police Lucas and Sheriff Jim
Woolley agreed to the transfer of the
prisoners from the city to the county
Jail as result of the orders issued
by the state health department, ii also
agreed that the prisoners should not
be taken from the Jail by city police
men to work on the street.
BY this agreement at least n dozen
men are kept from working on the
streets daily, and as a result the
work which was being done by these
men serving sentence will have to be
done by employees of the street de
partment and in this way the city
loses the use of the men and is forced
to pay some $25 a day for the work
which they formerly did.
The reason for the acceptance or
such an agreement, presented by the
sheriff, has not been made clear, but
it was said at the police station last
night that the agreement probably
had been reached when the sheriff
refused to be bothered letting the
prisoners out of the Jail several times
a day. 1t was pointed OUT that such
a practice presented the possibility
OF county charges slipping out with
the city charges.
