Turk Pushes Over Bust
At independence Hall

PHILADELPHIA. July ll.-Andrew
Panos. 81 years old. who was born In
Turkey. was arrested late yesterday af-
ternoon just after pushing over a bronze
bust OF William Payne. the Revolution
ary author. in Independence Hall.
According to Reserve Policeman Leute-
wine. Panos acted in q suspicious man.
ner during the entire time he was In
the hall. While on the first floor he
closely examined the historic relics and
continuously cast glances to the right
and left. Thinking perhaps he was UP
TO some mischief, Lcutewine followed
him to the second floor, where he saw
him walk to the pedestal on which the
bust was placed and give II a push.
Panos was sent to City Hall. When
questioned. however. he would give no
reason for his act. Why he selected the
bust OF Payne. who was generally, re-
Harded as a free-thinker In religious
matters. Is q mystery. The man said
he lived In Cincinnati. Ohio. He is
charged with malicious mischief and
will have n hearing this morning.

AFTER CAREER on 3 STAGE
Educated for Military Career
lLaushmaker Turns to Pic
'tures for Sotace. a

= n q certain well-known kind Of
rock had really been q gas. history
declares that the late James Nc
Nell Whistler would have died re-
tired officer Of the United States
army instead of one Of Americas
greatest painters and cynics.
In an examination while q student
at West Point Whistler denned the
rock In question as gas. The re-
suit was that he failed in his exami-
nation. And he was discharged from
the Military Academy for his failure.
That sent him to studying art In
earnest. and led to his great career
as u painter.
The motion pictures have some
thing Of the same sort to thank for
= lot Of more or less ssenrsiS1s inseGe:5iSn1s
for the failure in this instance. Al,
bert Edward Duncan was intended
for the profession Of arms.
He was educated In the public
schools of Brooklyn and at the Berk-
ley Military Institute, In New York.
Edward until 1t came time to take
the examination for entrance to West
Point. He passed all the severe
scholastic tests, and then went in to
sec the doctors. They had trouble
locating him at first-thought he was
some sort Of germ. probably.
Just . Foot Shy.
And then when they did nnd him
they lost no time In throwing him
out He was a foot shy the required
height for the prevailing style OF ca
dets at West Point.
He was so disguised that he
compromised by entering the box Of
fee OF the Grand Opera House In
Brooklyn where he dealt out tickets
for time In his surliest manner.
Then he started out as vaudeville
playing; by the N,uS, wsy w with the the
Chaplin. sgd Chaplin. Billie Reeves
and Billie Ritchie to the American
public.
Then he created the part Of JEFF in
the musical comedy Mutt and JEFF"
and after several seasons met up
with Lloyd ". Hamilton, started in
and gave to the world the series Of
Ham and Bud conedies-Duncan be-
Ing the Bud of the team and as such
known to picture audiences through
out the country.
That is how the army lost a good
comedian, or the stage gained a val
liable military strnteEist-nobody has
vet been able to decide which II al
though probably both are right.
by the same token there Isn't the
slightest objection to the Kalem
company's press agent using this
story. with proper credit to The
Times, because 1t has the unusual
merit Of being true and interesting
at the same time.
