Getting Free Notices.

That eminent self-advertiser, HOudi-
nj. Is just summing up the net results
Of his purchase Of the Bernhardt sta
tue. You may possibly remember that
the statue was presented to Nine.
Bernhardt by John Drew, in the name
of the actors of America, and after
wards was discovered not to have been
paid for. The sculptor's wife sent
Bernhardt a bill for it and Bernhardt
promptly responded that she had ac-
cepted it as gift and would send it
back rather than pay for it. A most
embarrassing situation ensued and all
the newspapers commented upon it.
Then came Hondini to the fore. He
paid the sculptor's wife for the statue
and wrote Nine. Bernhardt begging her
I, keep it with his compliments and
forget an incident which had brought
embarrassment to the door of the
worlds greatest artistic. Houdini has
just finished tabulating the returns
from his press clippings describing his
highly commendable act and linking
his name with Bernhardt's have been
received. Over half of them were first
page stories. They average 15 lines in
length. Estimating this advertising at
the pure reading matter rate of a dol
lar line, Houdini calculates that he
has reaped the equivalent of an ex-
penditure of $58,34O. The statue cost
him $36O.-New York Letter.

Requires Quick Action to End Labor
Disputes.
Denver.-The Industrial relations
committee of the Senate, through
Senator Lewis, chairman. reported to
the Senate for printing its proposed
amendments to the industrial rela-
tions law. The principal changes Of
fered are all in the direction Of
strengthening the law and rendering
it more efficient instrument for the
settlement of labor disputes by re-
quiring positive action by the indus
trial commission within reasonable
time limitations.
The so-called thirty-day clause is SO
amended that within ten days from
the filing of the notice Of dispute be-
tween an employer and his employees
with the Industrial commission and
to the opposing side of the contro-
versy, an answer must be filed with
the commission setting forth the de-
tense to be offered to the abuses COM
planned of. Within ten days there
after, and not less than five, the COM
mission must begin hearing the is
sues Joined by the complaint and an
swer. and proceed with the hearing
with all possible speed.
Within another ten days the de-
cision must be filed, unless both par
ties to the dispute consent to furth-
er delay or unless the commission.
deeming the matter OF Importance to
the state, shall order further delay,
and If they SO order they must state
their reason for the order in writing.
In any event, the final decision must
be made and published within ninety
days from the date Of the filing of the
primary notice by the party alleging
the grievance.

To use his own expression, i fought
it out alone" Later he placed him
self under the care of Lieut.. Col. M.
w. Ireland Of the Medical Corps,
Southern Department, and regained
normal health and spirits.
For three days." Col. Ireland said.
Gen. Funston had been entirely
well.' Later Col. Ireland issued this
statement: Gen. Funston's death was
caused by angina sclerosis of the ar
teries. Death was almost immediate,
and without pain"
Ever since March, 1916. when he
was placed in command of all United
States forces on the Mexican border.
Gen. Funston had worked at an un-
usual pace. At critical times in bor-
der developments he frequently re-
manned on duty twenty-four hours OF
the twenty-four. The handling OF
regulars disposed of at various sta
tions on the border, the Pershing ex-
pedition, and of late rearrangement
of regular troops while providing for
the return of national guardsmen
have entailed an enormous amount Of
