Caldwell flashed brilliant sprint IN
catching Joe 7. Higgins, OF Holy cross
College, in the special l,oOO-yard run
at the Ozanam A. A. meet on Saturday
night. Racing ten yards behind on the
last lap. Caldwell was veritable hur-
ricane, "a he quickly closed the gap
nipping the Worcester athlete at the
tape.
The aid attained by the use of q
starting block was forcibly illustrated
in the 100-yard race at the Bronx
Church House games. Roy +. Morse,
the national outdoor champion, slipped
at the crack of the pistol shot, and the
accident killed his chances for his
prizes. The failure Of the promoters
to run the dash in lanes was responsi-
bic for the jams that marked the elm
nation of the entrants.

tryout over the snowy ground yester-
day. The contest is sure to result In

would be hurt considerably.
So he asked Atty Frederick SLIDER
of Chicago to sue the Tribune for
$4,000 and had other attorneys in
the east file similar actions against
other papers which printed the same
story.
Atty SLIDER says he has started an
investigation of the swell LA Mar
quise" and says he found that LA
Marquise" stuff is written by man
named Phillip c. Owen. And mar
quise is supposed to be a female per-
son.
SLIDER says that the Tribune will go
easy hereafter when its articles hit
men who have family connections
traceable back to the old guys who
wore tin plate helmets and led the
crusades.

TRIB SUED FOR STORY WRITTEN
BY TITLED" SCRIBE

BY "TITLED" SCRIBE
When the Chicago Daily Tribune
takes it upon itself to call man
fake and pretender and when this
man claims to be a cousin to the
crowned heads of England, Spain
and Austria, trouble is liable to re-
suit.
So when the Trib in its column
headed La Marquise De Fontenoy,"
printed for highbroWs with taste
for royal scandal, called Rudolph
Francois Ghislain Hamilton De Lam
da Berghes st. Wincok a pretender
he sued them for $4,000.
The story was printed just a year
ago yesterday. LA Marquise" said
that Rudolph had just come to this
country and was posing as the cou-
sin of the reigning heads of England,
Austria and Spain, while he was
merely pretender.
La Marquise" then went on to
throw mud on the claims of Rudolph
as a bishop of the Old Catholic
church Of Scotland. In fact, LA
Marquise" branded the Prince Ru-
dolph Berghes St Wincok fake.
The Prince Rudolph FRANCHISE G.
H. De L. Berghes st. Wincok set his
attorneys about investigating the ar
ticle which questioned his creden-
tials. He found that the story hurt
his standing in American society;
New York highbrows were raising
their eyebrows and whispering be-
hind their hands.

found that the Brentwood Co., syn

There was a lapse of silence, for
Rhoda had dropped log to the shore
as a seat for Roland and had arrang-
ed pole, line and bait with sportsman
like experiences for her novice guest.
There were nibbles and catches
and at the end Of two hours the fish
basket was pretty well filed. Sud-
denly, as Roland pulled hard on his
line, Rhoda exclaimed
"Oh, you must have a big one"
and, as the rod bent, amid her ex-
element she put out her hand to aid
him.

Slowly, attached to the hook,

Great Picture Returns.

d. W. Griffith's THE Birth of a
Nation" which is returning to the
Palace next week for two days, be-
ginning Saturday matinee, October
2S, is sure TO create the same sort
of excitement it did on its previous
visit to this city The sale of seats
starts Wednesday and those who
were not able to see this magnificent
spectacle before, will undoubtedly se-
cure their seats well in advance. In
all cities where "The Birth of Ma
ton" has played return engagement
a goodly PERCENTAGE of the large au-
dlences is composed of those who
have seen the picture before and who
are anxious to see it again.
The power of this spectacle to ere
peat" as showmen express it, has
been conclusively demonstrated all
over the country, always with the
same same result of packing the play
houses from orchestra to dome.
Everywhere 1t is welcomed with the
old enthusiasm, not one whit abated.
Those who have seen it before are
the leaders in the outbursts of ap-
plause that greet every moment of the
action in the crashing climaxes.
The reason for this appeal of the
performance the second and third
time it Is witnessed is to be found
in the marvellous wealth of detail
that no one can grasp at one seeing.
When It Is remembered that there
are close to 100000 details in the
production there is no room for as
tonishmen that many of these, emin-
emily worth while, should be over
looked in the excitement of following
the story the first time.
Then the musical score is one Of
these compositions that grow and
grow on tie auditor the more 1t is
heard. Nobody thinks OF imagining
that he has actually heard a grand
opera when he has been present at
only one performance. He goes again
and again and lets the themes of the
composer eat into his heart and
brain. So It is with the score of
"The Birth of a Nation" The ap-
probation of the score increases with
each hearing. The music lover then
realizes that there is a stirring Clans
man motif, an ominous Lynch motif,
an exquisitely sweet motif that at
tends the blonde heroine played by
Lillian Gish, and dainty little mo-
tif, compounded of humor and plain
tiveness that is heard when the little
pet sister, Mae Marsh, is the center
of the scene.
It is for reasons such as these
that "The Birth of a Nation" can
be seen again and again without tir-
ing. The production will be exactly
as before with the same large sym
phony orchestra. In every respect
the same high standard of excellence
of the first performance will be
maintained
