SAVES CRIPPLE, THEN
BRAVES DEATH TO GET
HIS CRUTCH FOR HIM

New York, Jan. 22--After the
daring rescue Of an unconscious
woman and several children from
a burning tenement here last light
a policeman named Halsemacher
made what he thought was his last
trip with Daniel German, a six
year old cripple, in his arms.
When the boy was revived on the
pavement he cried for his crutch.
well, a fellow like you isn't
much good without crutch,"
1 said the policeman. "I'll see If I
can get it."
Pushing a number Of firemen
aside, Halsemacher ran up the
stairs through binding smoke,
], and after searching through sever
al rooms that were ablaze, he
found the crutch. When he
reached the sidewalk his coat was
burning.

Lord Byron and
His "Hoodoo Castle"

This is in the 129th anniversary of
the birth Of Lord Byron, one Of the
greatest of modern English bards, and
for a time the occupant and owner
of Newstead Abbey, the historic fam
lily seat Of the Byrons, which passed
from their possession just century
ago. For generations it has been as
serted that Newstead Abbey and it's
occupants labor under a curse and
recent events have given rise to- a
revival of the old superstition.
The poets family, on the paternal
side, traced it's origin back to the
times Of William the Conqueror, and
on his mothers side he was related
to the royal family of Scotland. His
father, Capt. John Byron, of the
Guards, was SO notorious for his gall
lantries and recklessness that he re-
ceived the nickname of Mad Jack"
After squandering the inheritance of
his wife, Mad jack deserted her,
and died a few years after the birth
Of George Gordon NoeF who early
became Lord Byron through the
death without issue of his grand
uncle, the fifth. Lord Byron. The
latter was called the wicked lord"
and he we'll merited the title, for he
was twice a murderer. In his trial
before the House of Lords he was
let off with a verdict of manslaugh-
ter, but he was afterwards ostracized
by decent society, and retaliated by
holding in Newstead Abbey almost
continuous orgies of the. widest de-
scription.
Newstead Abbey was built at the
order of Henry H., to expiate his in
stigation of the murder of Canter-
bury's most illustrious bishop, ST.
Thomas a Beckett. The property was
conf1scated by Henry WILL, which
brought upon it the Course" Of the
church The monarch of many wives
gave the abbey to Sir John Byron, one
Of his favorites and it remained in
the possession of the Byrons until the
poet was forced to sell the property
about a century ago, soon after his
fight from England. Disgraced in
his native land, Lord Byron found a
glorious death in the service of the
Greek patriots. dying from illness
brought on by exposure.

EXTRA SESSION
WARNING SPURS
CONGRESS WORK

Washington, Jan. 22-Longer day
and possibly night sessions Of the
session and a legislative program for
the remainder OF the session OF Con-
gress we're considered today by the
Senate steering committee. The COM
mtttee met In response to President
Wilson'S personal appeal to its MEM
bers to speed up action on his legisla-
strike restriction bill.
Congress may be called into extra
session In the event of failure to put
through the administration legislative
measures before adjournment on
March 4 and such session Senate
and House leaders are anxious to
avoid II possible. One Of the princi-
pal barriers in the way is opposition
to the railroad legislation. In some
quarters, however, 1t is not believed
an extra session would be called to
take up the railroad legislation alone.
Further emphasizing his intention
Of working in close cooperation with
Congress to secure the completion of
his legislative program before March
4, President Wilson went to the CAPT.
toll today for the third time within a
week to confer with the members of
the Senate and the House,
President Wilson had engagements
to see Representative Rainey Of IL
iinois; Senator Ramsdell. Senator I'm
derwood and several other members
OF Congress at the White House, but
word was sent to them that he would
see them in his room at the capitol
instead.
Mr.. Wilson is very anxious to avoid
m extra session Of Congress and with
that end in view wants to hurry con-
Bideration OF his program. He ex-
poets to devote much OF his time DUR
Ing the next few weeks to that end.
