Aunt Wins Out Over Girl.

For 8 time there was sharp rivalry between the aunt and the girl. Both were infatuated with the Blue beard,' who was lying under the high sounding name of Louis Forest de Barzieux. He gave the girl flow CTS. while the widow of riper expe rience received a fur coat and som rare wines.
 Finally, year ago, he invited the girl to accompany him to one of his country houses.
 The aunt objected, but spoke Of leaving Paris herself, on account of Big Bertha's nefarious smelling. So Landru suggested that she come in stead of the girl. She accepted, and sent her niece elsewhere.
 Police have learned that the aunt left for the country villa taking along her pet black and white cat, with long fur. As she was boarding the train she said to a friend who had come to see her off T don't know what is the matter with me. but I am afraid"
 She has not been heard of since. She never replied to letters.
 But a pet cats body has been dug up in the garden of Landru's Blue beard villa"
 The adventure had an ending sim liar to many of Landrus affairs. A few days after the widows disap- pearance he appeared at her flat with a motor van and carted off her fur niture.
 Woman and Dogs All Are Missing.
 As late as January of this year, Mile. Marie Therese Marchadier vis- tied "Bluebeard's" villa-and dropped out of sight as mysteriously as the former loves.
 Marie was bold, black eyed beauty of French southern type. Dogs were a passion with her, little grif- ions or toy dogs" particularly, and she was known to keep five at one time.
 When she went to live with the India rubber man" she took three dogs along. She told her friends she was going to marry a "charming fel- low who would give her a country house. a motor car, a lady's maid, and lots more"
 When she boarded the train for the forest cottage, she disappeared from human knowledge. Police have learned that passers late at night or at carry morning hours, OILen neaTu the little dogs "yip-yipping' faintly. They thought it strange that dogs should be yipping so, at such hours.
 Later the yipping ceased. And now the bodies of the little dogs have been dug up in the 'Bluebeard's S villa garden.
 Faced with this evidence, Landru has said that the girl asked him to kill the dogs because they were "so costly to keep"
 Disquieting mystery surrounds the fate of two little girls with golden curls, who couldn't have been over 10 years old, often in Landru's com pany in 1915. They were always daintily dressed and Landru pre- scented them as his daughters.
 Landru is known to have two daughters but in 1915 they were IS and 16 years old
 Widow and Son Both Disappear.
 Another mystery in 1915, just re- vealed, is the disappearance of Mime. Cuchet, and her son Andre, aged 15. Mime. Cuchet was a good looking widow who took her son along when she went, under the usual promise

James A. Hart, OF Chicago Nationals
Passes Away--Did Much To Per-
feet Baseball Rules And Playing

James A. Hart, who died July IS
at Chicago, did much to elevate base
ball to its present standard. He was
regarded as one of the best informed
baseball men in the country. Many
rules now deemed indispensable, were
championcd by Hart. The foul strike
rule, one of the most important, was
mis- final effort in rule making. He
was largely responsible for the abOli-
ton of foul bound, defining the
coachers' box changing the pitchers
box and substituting the slab, altering
the shape of the home plate, requir-
ing the catcher to play close up to
the plate all the time. abolishing the
foul tip and covering of the players
bench.
He was actively engaged in baseball
for twenty-five years, retiring as pres
ident of the Chicago Nationals in
1905 when Charles w. Murphy took
over the club. He was closely identi-
fed with the National league for 16
wears, entering the league in 1889,
just prior to the Brotherhood fight in
1890. From 1891 to the time he re.
jired-almost 10 years-he was pres.
ident of the Cubs, having succeeded
A. G. Spalding, who resigned.
Hart was bonr in Girard, Pa, July

OPEN FORUM

To the Public: | wish to
that the article published by Louis
NJ. Rego, ex-wrestling champion of
Maui, against me, (E. H. Hart, Jr.,)
present champion is more or less a
%false-hood. 1t is true enough that
and my manager would not accept
any return challenge from him but
that was under one condition.
He stated that with the return
up a purse of a hundred or two hun
dred dollars. My manager S. Itomura
then stated that a challenge would
not be accepted until the cash for the
said purse could be shown by Louis
NJ. Rego.
Therefore, l take it that if the eX-
champion was any kind of a man he
would stick to his word and not
scrape up any roughs and send it to
the Publishing Co, then take the
next boat for Honolulu a. he did. Up
on his leaving, town before the re-
turn match took place shows his
poor sportmanship and what kind of
a loser he is.
l therefore claim to be champion
of Maui regardless of what has been
published by the eX-champion.
Yours, truly,
e. II. HART,JR.

secretary of his home club. After
leaving school he devoted Is years
to mercantile pursuits, owning stores
in Pennsylvania, California, Illinois
and Kentucky.
He first connected with professional
baseball in Louisville, Ky. The old
Eclipse team, before the days of the
Association, attracted him. The team
played Sunday ball with such clubs
as it could find as opponents-Comis-
keys Browns of st. Louis, the Phila-
delphia Athletics and similar organi-
cations. When the American Asso-
citation was organized in 1882, he be-
came v~ice-president and a member of
the board of directors of the Louis
vile club, which succeeded the
Eclipse team. He practically ran the
club, the work requiring so much of
his time that he quit the mercantile
business.
In che winter of 1SS6-1SS7, he sold
iliS liltItSlS III llt LOUISVILLE CluD
and purchased the controlling inter
est in the Milwaukee club, then in
the old Western league. He was
president and manager through 1887
1888, and in the winter of ~1SSS-1SS9,
became American manager of the
"Chicagos" and the "All-Americans,'
the first baseball teams organized for
a tour of the world. He handled the
business affairs of the clubs on their
way from New York to San Francisco,
in the meantime disposing of his Mil
waukee interests.
He returned to Chicago, and while
Spalding was on the world tour with
the two teams, Hart received offers
of managerial positions from severa,
clubs, including Boston and Washing
ton of the National League. He ac

cepted the Boston offer and became
manager i'm 1889. The following
spring he went TO England ana Scot
land TO introduce baseball in those
countries. When he returned he de-
voted most of his time to pacifying
the factions in the Brotherhood war,
acting as a "go-betwecn" for the play
ers and the National League. He was
secretary of the Chicago club at that
time and at it's annual meeting in
April. 1891, he was elected president.
