Thousands Visit With
Girl at Detroit Home

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 26.--Coming from
every part Of Detroit and from nearby
cities, a thousand persons congregated
today in front of the humble home of
,16-year.old Celia Wrobleski, Detroit s
witch girl, where they stood silently, ap-
parently awaiting some visible demon
stration of the girl s supernatural pow
ers, Efforts of a squad of policemen
to disperse the crowd met with only
temporary success. 1t almost immediate
ly reformed, eagerly awaiting sight of
the girl whom they believed endowed
with the power to turn herself at will
into the forms of various animals and
to have east banal influence over the
community.
Inside the house the girl laughingly
introduced herself to reporters as a
" bear" and wondcringlv inquired what
it was all about.
The only bewitching influence was
the laughter in her eyes and the smile
that played upon her lips.
How the rumor of witcheraft started
no one seems to know, but it threatens
to wreck the life of a 16-year-old girl
living in an enlightened city in the goth
century.
Inquiry among the crowd gathered
about the house elected little informa-
tion, but many openly expressed fear
to gaze upon the girl s face, lest they
suffer some horrible penalty.
"It sounds incredulous and l cannot
understand it, said Rev Father Felix
Kierub pastor of st. Francis church.
HThe pirl is one of my parishioners and
the whole story is false"
But even with police, church and 9TH
er enlightened forces of the community
seeking to dispel the rumor, the crowds
about the Wrobeski house continue to
increase in size as the fame of the
"Miteh girl spreads

MANY BIG PLAYERS

Iris Speaker, Al Demaree and
Thirty Others Are Willing
to Strike
By II. Q. Hamilton.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 26.-Tris Speaker,
AL Demaree and at least thirty other
baseball players, ranging in station
from the Boston Red Sox and the
Brooklyn Dodgers TO American Asso-
citation and International league clubs,

were surprised by two telegrams-
from Iris Speaker, yowing allegiance
to the frat, aud the other from AL
Demaree, announcing that Al never
had said he would not strike and in
vtng FIultz to make that statement
just as strong as he pleased.

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

x x x x x i; x x x !; x 4 !; y ):
Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best, Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use it just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two tcaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
1ou can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every member
OF the family for months.

Are Deserving Fultz.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-- Lolly pop stuff
has drained diamond dramas Of blood
and thunder and David Fultz s frat
chariot is fast being deserted by
minor league players who want some
real baseball again. So sayeth Pres
ident r. J. Hickey, the Ban Johnson
Of the American Association.
''There s too much of this Damon
and I'ythias stuff on the ball field, I"
Hickey said "Old fashioned rivalry
is forgotten; players throw their arms
around each others necks instead of
watching their chance to put one over.
IL want to see teams go after each
other with hammer and tongs to win;
see blood in their eyes when they
come on the field see them at dag
ger S points from first to last, in
stead Of taking it out on the Jumps :.

players too rooney -matey." "

TRIAL OF SPANIEL
MAY CLOSE Today
Defendant Tells Story That
Visibly Affected Judge
and Jury

San Angelo, Texas, Jan. 26.-The fate
of Harry j Spaniel, on trial for the
murder of his wife may be in the hands
of the jury before night.
Spaniel, who was on the stand prac-
tically all day yesterday, occupied sew
eral hours in describing the events that
led up to his shooting Major NJ. c. But
Ter in an automobile at Alpine last
July and the death of his wife from
bullet wounds at the same time. He
reached the narrative of the actual
shooting late in the day and although
his recountal was at times incoherent,
he told one of the most dramatic stor-
les in Texas court annals
Judge, Jury, court attaches, the aged
father of his dead wife, spectators and
even the counsel for both sides wept OPP
enly and Spaniel, in the midst of his
recital, collapsed on the stand. When
he had concluded his story he was help
ed from the stand by two court al
taches.
SPANIEL sprang a distinct surprise by
stating that Butler himself started the
shooting. He said he believed his wife
had been insulted by Butler in the hotel
and that he invited the army officer out
in his automobile with Mrs. Spaniel 4" to
have it out with him.
There is slight probability SPANIEL

cross-examination today. Both sides are
expected to sum up their cases today
and the trial passed to, the jury late
today or early tomorrow
The defense rested today after intro
ducing seven more character witnesses
all of whom testified that Spanell's
general reputation was "good" ant
Butler S "bad."
Two of them-soldiers- Butler
was known in the army as "Bull" But

Large Timber Deal
In Gardner Vicinity;
3 to 5 Million Dollars

Marshfield, Ore, Jan. 26.-With
options Just closed on more than 100000
acres Of spruce and fir timber land on
the Lower Umpqua and Smith rivers, ?
large eastern paper manufacturing com
pany today placed a number of cruisers
on the property and will have it cruised
as quickly as possible with a view to
completing the purchase at once for
cash.
According TO the figures of owners
Of the lands the purchase when COM
pleted win embody 3,500,000,O00 board
feet of timber and the price will be
somewhere between $3,000,0O0 and
SIS, 900, 900.
100000 Acres Involved.
The cost is estimated in connection
with the prices and former cruises. Il
Us believed the new cruising will prob
ably increase the amount of timber
supposed to be contained on the 100,-
600 acress rather than lessen it.
The options cover practically the last
great body of spruce on the Pacific
coast, and although the timber is not
so large as some found in Northern
Washington, it is of the very finest
quality paper spruce. The land under
option lies contiguous to the Will
lamette-P Pacific railroad for approxi-
mately 20 miles, about 10 north and the
same distance south of the Umpqua.
Sjruce is Near Sea.
The spruce belt runs in q somewhat
regular line and is several miles broad
and ranges from six to eight to 10
miles from the sea. The belt follows
the river towards the east as well. The
spruce area, as it is elassed, has very
heavy proportion of this timber, run
ming generally from two-thirds to
three-fourths spruce and the remain
der fir. This is the property on the
Umpqua and along the railway.
On the land optioned ON Smith river
the timber runs almost wholly fir The
heavy holdings of fir will not detract
in any manner from the availability of
the timber for papermaking, since it
can be used together with the spruce
in certain quantities.
One Mill to Get S1,25o,000.
Following is approximately the acre
age under cruise: The Gardiner Mill
company, $4,000 acres; C. A. Smith
Lumber & Manufacturing company,
$4,000 acres; Sparrow & Krall, Spo-
kane, $4,000 acres; j. O. Elrod, 5000
acres; Reed & Mackay, G,O00 acres;
Standish- Hickey, 1000 acres, and other
smaller tracts. The Reed & Mackay
1000 acres are supposed to contain
400,000,000 feet of timber and the other
holdings a proportionate amount.
The deal will bring to the Gardiner
Mill company $1,25O,O0O and the Reed
& Mackay interests will have a pro-
tion that will bring them big sum-
The payment to the G. A. Smith COM
pany will be upwards of $1,000,000.
Cash to Be Paid.
When the property is taken over the
deal will be closed for cash and all
who are selling will be paid on the
spot. The Smith options for the $4,000
acres We're furnished by A. L. Adel-
