LURE OF WAR PROVES
 STRONG FOR MIX
(From Sundays Daily)

Every male member Of Tom Mix FoXfilm comedy company at Los An gelcs is preparing for war. They love peace and motion pictures, but if there is to be war, they intend to be there, for every one of them is an accomplished horscman, and rife and revolver shot.
 The reason for these warlikc prep arationS is that their distinguished di- rector himself is fighting man. Read his record:
 Tom Mix. world-famous cowboy and screen director, is the son of Cap tain Mix of the Seventh U. $. Cavalry who was shot in the battle of Wounded Knee in the old Indian days.
 Young Mix enlisted in the Fourth U. $. artillery at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. At Tampa, when the officers learned that Inc was skilled in scouting, he was made chief of division of scouts for Cuban ser vice.
 At the close of the Cuban campaigri Tom Mix went to the Philippines, where he served as a Maccabcan scout. From the Philippines, he went to China with the famous Fighting Ninth" U. $. infantry and participated in the historic march to relieve Pck- ing and United States Minister Con. ger. He was wounded in the battle of TicnT sin, but continued on to the Chinese capital.
 After the Boxer uprising had been suppressed by the allied forces, MiX returned to America, resigned from the army, went back to Fl Paso and joined the Texas Rangers. At that time, the rangers were hunting a band of outlaws headed by the notorious Shont brothers. The gang separated and Mix took up the trail of the lead CTS. running them to cover in a dug out on the PecoS river, 40 miles north of White Oaks. \. NJ.
 In the fight that followed one of the Shont brothers was killed and the other seriously wounded MiN, him self, was shot through the leg. He next served as deputy United States marshal in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Tennessee Then he broke in to- pictures with the Sclig company
 Tom Mix IS champion bulldog ger of wild steers and has whole case of medals. ribbons and loving cups won at various cowboy contests.

NICHOLAS TELLS WHY HE QUIT THE JOB OF
 EMPEROR|NG

PETROGRAD, March l7. - The following is the text of the imperial manifesto in which the Russian cm peror announced his abdication and that of his son:
 eve, Nicholas II, by the Grace Of God, emperor of all the Russias czar of Poland and Grand Duke Of Finland, etc, make known to all our faithful subjects, in the day of the great struggle against a foreign foe who has been striving for three years to cnslave our country, God has wish ed to send to Russia new and pain ful trial. Interior troubles threaten to have fatal repercussion on the final outcome of the war The dcs- tinies of Russia and the honor of our heroic army, happiness of the people and all the future of our dear father land require that the war be prose cutcd at all cost to a victorious end. The cruel enemy is making his last effort and the moment is near when our valiant army, in concert with those of our glorious allies, will defin- itely chastisc the foe.
 ''ln these decisive days in the life of Russia we believe our people should have the closest union and organiza- ton of all their forces for the realiza- ton of speedy victory. For this req son, in accord with the duma of tho empire, we have considered it desir- able to abdicatc the throne of Russia and lay aside our supreme power. Not wishing to be separated from our be- loved son, we leave our heritage to our brother, the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, blessing his advent to the throne of Russia. We hand the government to our brother in full union with the representatives of the nation who arc seated in the legisla- tive chambers, taking this step with an inviolable oath in the name of our well beloved country We call on all faithful sons of the fatherland to full fill their sacred patriotic duty in this painful moment of national trial and to aid our brother and the rcprcscn- ta,ives of the nation in bringing Rus sia into the path of prosperity and glory. May God aid Russia"

the method used in counting the bal lots and was several times during the evening invited to take a walk"
 According to Redfeld, Pearson and Hart held the ballots spread out in front of them with their knees pro- truded so as to form platform. Ere quently the right hand would loosen its hold on the ballot and slide sur rcptitiously out of sight for a few seconds. It was Redheid's conten- ton, although the court ordered his part of the testimony stricken from the records, that Hart and Pearson were erasing and rcmarking the ballot when their hand disappeared behind it.
 Attorney Ives attempted to prove that it was . physical impossibility to mark ballot with lead pencil while rcposing on the knee and handed the witness a sample ballot and a pencil to explain how 1t was done While Ives was attacking the contention of the Campbell forces, the witness erased and remarked the ballot be- fore the court. It was a simple task although Ives still refused to admit that 1t was possible.
