PIGEONS PROVE
 ATTRACTION AT FAIR

An idea adopted by the Panama California International exposition al San Diego, more than a year ago to aid in giving a final artistic touch 70 the Spanish influence of buildings and grounds is rapidly turning into com mercial proposition with big returns in view. Everyone who has visited the San Diego exposition knows abou: the thousands of tame pigeons that perch on the shoulders and heads ot guests in search Of food.
 A few days ago, an Eastern visitor approached one of the Balboa guards with a beautiful white pigeon eating wheat from her hand. q want to buy this pigeon" she informed the guard, and if you refuse to sell it, I prom ise to steal it and take it out of the grounds willy nilly" The guard re- ported the matter to officials and was advised to ask what the visitor would pay for the pigeon. Without hes;ta- ton the visitor offered g. and she was given receipt for the pet.
 At the present time there are d. most 5000 pigeons in the plazas anf almost as many more tiny birds nest ing in the pigeon lofts. Instead e: worrying over the question of caring for the enormous increase, exposition officials begin to see visions of big income from raising "extra tame" pigeons for the pet market.

Admiral Jackson, First
Sea Lord of John Bulls
Navy, Is 81 Today

Anira1 Sir Henry Bradwardine
jackson, who became the senior naval
lord of the British navy in succession
to Lord Fisher last May, was born at
Barnsley 81 years ago today. The
First Sea Lord is Yorkshireman,
and has been in the naval service for
nearly half a century, having entered
it in 1858. Sir Henry has long been
the close and intimate friend of Sir
John Jellicoe, the commander of the
fleet, and of William Marconi, the in
ventor of wireless biography. The
Sea Lord is himself an inventor of
note, and played an important part
in bringing about the adoption and
adaptation of the wireless to naval
uses. Sir Henrys first and only actual
war experience, up to the beginning
of the present conflict, was gained in
the Zu1u campaign in the late '7os,
when he saw shore service with the
naval brigade. His scientific bent was
manifest early in his career, and he
has served on a multitude of technical
and scientific committees. He made
the acquaintance Of Marconi in 1897,
while he was stationed in Paris as
naval attache at the British embassy,
and he entered into a close friendship
with the Ita1ian-Irish inventor, help
ing him to solve many points in con-
nection with the development of the
Hertzian wave to the practical uses
was the first Englishman to put the
wireless to a practical use, and was
largely responsible for introducing its
use on British naval vessels. While
controller of the navy Sir Henry was
associated with Sir John Jellicoe In
the work of the committee which de-
cided upon the construction of the
dreadnought and invinctbIe types of
fighting craft From 1908 to 1910 Sir
Henry-who received his title in the
last named year-Was commander Of
cruiser squadron in the Medtter-
ranean. He commanded the Royal
Navy War College fromN 1911 to 1918.
In 1912 he was made chief of staff
OF the British navy, and at the out
break Of the war he was commanders
in chief in the Mediterranean.
The Yorkshire admiral, like his
friend Jellicoe, is a thorough sports
man, but his principal recreations are
shooting and golf. Sir John, who is
more the man of action and less the
thinker than his friend. finds his chief
joy in friendly bout with the gloves,
and in his younger days. it is said,
delighted in a 'go" with the raw
'uns.''

O'CONNOR AWARDED $4,000.
Former Manager of Browns Makes
Contract Stick in Supreme Court.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 5.-A verdict of
a jury in the state circuit court in
May 1912, which awarded John
.O'Connor damages of $4,000 against
the st. Louis American league club
because O'COnnor was discharged as
manager while he was under contract
for another year, was affirmed by the
st. Louis court of appeals today.
The court of appeals reviewed the
evidence brought by the ball club to
substantiate the charge that O'ConnoT
as manager conspired with his fellow
players in October, 1910, to allow
Lajoie of the Cleveland team to set
a large number of hits and thus defeat
Tyrus Cobb of Detroit in a contest for
an automobile. The court held that
the evidence failed to convince the
trial jury that O'Connor was guilty OF
the conspiracy. The court also held
that the contract with O'Connor was
not void because of ambiguity.

INDOOR GOLF IN Topeka
New Course at Fullerton Brothers
Store soon to Be in Operation.

Indoor golf in Topeka will become
a reality next week when Fullerton
Brothers procure the equipment for
their new course that is now being
constructed in the rear of their store
on Kansas avenue.
The course will consist of a space
20x10x11 u feet surrounded by net,
at one end of which will be a canvas
wall to drive the ball against. The
floor will be covered with cocoanut
mating. and along one side will be a
putting carpet and a disc to represent
the hole of outdoor course
The canvas wall against which the
balls are to be driven will be divided
into squares, and players will have to
drive into designated squares in order
to make a certain distance. These
squares will be so arranged that a
match can be played the same as an
any golf course in the country.
The netting and canvas wall have
already been set up, and golfers will
be invited to use the course as soon
as the rest of the equipment arrives.
The course will be open to any one
who wishes to play. No charge will
be made for its use.
