well, Colonel william +. Cody
that was Buffalo Bills real name, was
great man and shall be very glad
to tell you about him"
why was he a great manY' asked
Joe.
He was a remarkable man in many,
many way" said Uncle Harry But
he was a great man because he made
and showed to the people of the
United States-yes, and the people Of
the entire civilized world, the greatest
moving picture the world has ever
scent"
"A moving picture?" exclaimed
Helen, astonished why never
heard of Buffalo Bill's moving pic
turelr
Maybe you never thought OF II as
a moving picture" said Uncle Harry.
1T wasn't the kind Of a moving pic
ture that is shown on a canvas cur
tain. II was a live moving picturel
II was a genuine, actually moving
picture OF the Wild West Of America
Of forty-fifty years ago. People call
II show and so il was a show --
Buffalo Bills wild Wild West Show,
but II was more than a show
What Colonel Cody did was this:
he gathered together large group Of
Indians who In their younger DAYS
had been on the warpath against the
Wiiite settlers in the West and had
fought the soldiers. To these he add
ed genuine cowboys and other pion-
eers Of the West. Then he added a
herd OF buffaloes, and a genuine old
time stage coach-in fact, every thing
needed to reproduce the 'olden days
Of the Wild West, just as they we're
actually lived by the savage Indians
and the early white settlers. All these
people and things he put together ia
a show In a word, he made a real,
live. moving picture of the old West
This picture-you may call 1t a Show
if you prefer, he exhibited in practi-
cally every city in our own country
and in all the principal cities OF Eu-
rope"

my. I'm certainly glad now that I
saw Buffalo Bill's show" said Helen
$50 am J." said Jimmy and Joe, al
most in chorus.
Colonel Cody was a fearless and
courageous man." added Uncle Harry.
'He was perhaps the best Indian
scout the country ever had. He rem
dered valuable service to the Gov
ernment during the Civil War. and
afterwards He was a wonderful ac-
curate rifle shot and a famous but
falo hunter-that's why he was call
cd Buffalo Bill" But il he was
great man-and most every one
who has really thought about what
he did agrees that he was. IL was
because he carried 10 the cities Of the
East, and the cities OF the West that
grew up after the Frontier Days. a
true and wonderfully thrilling picture

BY H. b. ROBERTSON.

OnlIeQ EIeSS Cldu 0OlltSDOhNNhf
RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 24.-Not
since the days when Morgan and
other buccaneers of old roamed the
seas and sent vessels scudding before
wild rumors of their presence. has
there been such a crop of stories or
secret bases, concealed harbOrs, mys-
terious supply ships and the strategy
OF willy seamen - that which buzzed
up and down the South American
coast today. Many of >the harbored
strongholds OF the pirates of the days
when the Spanish main was good
picking" are located on the north
coast of South America and the ru-
mors of today were that these same
natural vantage points were being
utilized By the German raider
The minister OF marine put enough
credence in one OF these rumors 70
dispatch the Brazilian cruisers Rlc
Grande do Sud and the Tymbira to
search the coast or the State OF Rio
Grande do Norte. The specific rumol
on which he based his action was that
the municipality of -Fouros, in that
State, located between Fortaleza and
Natal, was the hiding place OF the
raider. and that on thret occasions
ships had been seen there. Pernam
buco dispatches today persisted q
this rumor. declaring that-the Brazil
ian coasting packet Maranhao had
sighted four ships anchored at the
mouth Of the Rio Aqua Amarella, neal
the port of Natal, one apparently an
auxiliary cruiser with four tunnels.
The meager description OF the raider
sgiven by survivors at Pernambuco said
she had four tunnels. The same rumol
had il that the four-funneled vessel
was attended by the passenger shiI
and two cargo boats. one OF which was
flying the American flag. There was
no confirmation elsewhere Of this ru'
NOR and the Minister of Marine an
nounced his belief the vessels were
British ships. But the persistence
with which the rumor stuck-with al
sorts OF additions-led to his deter.
mination carefully to investigate anc
make certain that there was no vio'
lation of neutrality in Brazilian
waters.
Practically every inch Of the Eas'
South American coast line Will have
been searched out within the nex'
few days. Warships from Brazil, Ar
gentine and Uruguay have taken W

of the neutrality of their waters, as

SHIFT THE PROBE
TO WASHINGTON
BY CARL D. oRoAT

DQlteQ freSb cthu correspondent
NEW YORK. Jan 24.-The House
note leak committee this afternoon
adjourned its session to Washington.
There it will hold another meeting
and announce the time of resuming
here.
This action came after the commit.
tee had been informed that il might
be physically impossible to get Stock
Exchange records as quickly as de-
sired.
The Stock Exchange was asked to
use a form OF presenting this infor-
nation that would expedite returns.
President Noble agreed to present
this new request 20 the exchange gov
ernors, and it is likely that II will be
granted.
The new scheme will eliminate many
minor details and serve to speed up
the revelation of who were the big
dealers during the period covered by
the leak inquiry
1t was hinted that government
clerks might be employed to delve
into records where there was undue
delay, or IL brokers were recalcitrant
about coming forward voluntarily.
Mobiles testimony was devoted to
the question of retirement Of stocks
from the stock exchange list. He
said retirements Of stocks were due
to narrow holdings-virtual disap-
pearance Of the stocks from the eX-
change-which might leave a short
in a corner when he wanted TO cover
Whipple tried to develop that mar
row holdings, such as Noble men,
tb5ned, constituted al pool. Noble
sought to show that this was not a
pool in the common acceptance Of the
word, inasmuch as here was no man
ipulatiOn in the case he cited.
Chairman STREET of the clearina
house, reported that records Of his
organization, several enormous
stacks, were ready for examination
The committee asked that It be ntti-
fed Immediately II any houses refuse
their individual records.
STREET threw a bomb into committee
calculations when he expressed the
opinion that the big houses could not
get their records into shape in less
than a month And the committee IS
authorized TO sit less than a month
STREET. said his own house was not

could be cut down If added help were
given and some OF the details elimin

houses cannot or do not get the rec
ords together quickly was the implied
threat OF the committee.
incidentally Chiperfield sought in
formation about experience in govern

able to the committee was presented
