Kansas City. Mo-. Oct. 7.-Russel] Dean of 2567 Indiana avenue lost a pencil a year ago. It has inst been found in his right leg.
 One night a year ago, Dean anc some friends were out and Dear borrowed pencil from waiter te figure the cost of the evenings meal Presently he fell asleep.
 When Dean awoke, the waiter po- lltely asked him to return the bor- rowed pencil.
 It wasn't in his pocket nor behinc his ear. So Dean bought the waiter another pencil and forgot the incl. dent.
 Several months ago he began to have trouble with his right leg. Aft CT an examination at hospital a few days a@o, Dean was sent to the operating room, where a 'carbuncle on his leg was cut open. A pair of forcens inserted in the incision struck something hard.

sensational end runs. The team that will go to California to represent the East will hardly get the time for one practice together, nor will the all-Western team be anything like prfectly organized unit. It lis safe to say that contest between two organized football teams would be far more interesting.
 Preliminary practice has been un- der way at all or most Eastern in- stitutions for the last month. Prac- ticallY every cOllepe enters upon the season with a wealth of playing ma terial greater than in many years. This is chiefly due to the fact that seasoned veterans who left colleges to engage in war have returned to complete their college career. with the result that coaches in most cases find themselves in the position of having more than one good man try ing for each of the eleven positions on a team. For besides the veterans there are men who revealed strength on the S. A. T. c. elevens last season, as we'll as boys whose prowess as freshmen did not escape watchful eye.

GIRL JUST HAD TO
 LOOK AT R0BBER;;'
 MAY IDENTIFY HIM
Kansas Stenographer's Curiosity May Make Her Worth While
 Witness.

Benton, Kan, Oct. 7.-Ten men and one woman are under arrest, part of them at Kansas City. part in Wichita and part in Oklahoma, charged with robbing four or more central and eastern Kansas banks of more than S250,OO0 in currency and Liberty bonds.
 A girl stenographer who just had to have a look, is expected to identi- fy one of the bandits.
 The Benton State Bank was rob- bed one morning late in July, just after the bank had opened. The robbers obtained more than S75,OOO. mostly in Liberty bonds.
 Robbed of s1O0,0OO.
 On a morning three weeks later the First National Bank at Newton. 30 miles from Benton, was robbed of bonds and cash in excess of S1OO.- O0O
 Late in August the Chautauoua State Bank, in southeastern Kansas. was robbed of $20,OOO in bonds and cash. Later a bank in Atchison, Kan, was robbed of $6O,OO Oin cur rency and Liberty bonds.
 The jobs were "pulled" either late in the afternoon or very early in the morning. At no time did the rob- bers wear masks. An arrival in a large car. leisurely entering of the bank. drawing of the revolvers on the bank employees and any GUS toners, thorough search, and the locking of all in the room in the bank vault. with a speedy getaway in their high powered car, these were the same features reported each time
 Of all the employees in all the banks visited by the bandits, Miss Thelma McCune. a stenographer in the Benton Bank. was the only one to obtain more than a mere glance at the men. <:
 Lined Up Employees.
 When they entered the Benton Bank, they lined up the employees and customers along the wall, and told them to stay there. All obeyed except Miss McCune. Curosity got the better of her. She turned and scrutinized the man who held the gun on them. He thrust the gun into her side, pushing her roughly against the wall. But the mans features were imprinted on her mind. She is going to Kansas City to identify the man.

POWERFUL FOOTBALL ELEVENS WILL PLAY
 FOR THE BIG THREE:

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 7.-Footbal has just passed its fiftieth anniver- sarv. the first game of American football having been played by elevens from Rutgers and Princeton Colleges just half century ago. It has c11anged so that the original players hardly would recoonize it but it is ereat game. It takes youngsters of grit and stamina to play it, and it is one of the most spectacular of all sports. Profes- sionallv, it never has been able to go very far-which, perhaps, is a gocd thing for the game.
 The proposition of holdine foot ball game between an all-Easte,h and an all l-Western eleven in Cali. fcrnia on New Years day is inter- esting but it will not prove any thino. The all-star elevens will be made I'D of football men selected for their positions by experts. But football is4aa game that depends lareely ogaoreapization and. team work.

JITNEYS

WHENEVER community gets into a
w row with the directors of its street
car service it cries out for iitneys. That
is what the people of Camden are doing
now. The iitbus is supposed to be the
ultimate solution in every street-car
crisis that arises from inadequate serv-
ice or high fares. Ancient motorcars
are trundled out in droves and the transit
problem is declared solved.
Yet experience always shows that the
jitncy is, after all, a poor thing upon
which to base high hopes of an easy and
quick way home to dinner at minimum
fare. Jitneys can never be more than
an incident in any extensive system of
street transit. 1t is only when they are
operated in a haphazard fashion, that
they represent a cheap means Of getting
about.
If jtney transports passengers for
five-cent fare it is because it is not sub
jected to the sort of regulation ordi-
narily established to safeguard those who
ride in public conveyances and insure
systematic service An organized sys-
TEN of jitneys more elaborate and extern
sive than anything yet dreamed of would
| be necessary to meet the transit require
ments of any ordinary city.
1t is a question whether motor vehicles
alone could ever accommodate the rush
| crowds in Camden. When jitneys are
| operated as part of a regularly estab-
lished system under state regulation
they, too, have to meet overhead charges,
insurance for passengers and similar
obligations, and inevitably the fare is
raised. The jitney prospers and renders
what seems like ideal service only when
it is permitted to take the best of the
"short hauls' from the street cars.

a new obstacle in the way of the Paris

Italian regiments have actually mutinicd

fellow countrymen who seized foreign
territory as followers of D'Annunzio,

7SAVED BY THE GENERAL S SPEED

TT is likely that a good many Philadel-
phians regret General Pershing's in
ability to pay prolonged visit to Inde-
pendence Hall last Friday. But if they
consider the matter closely they should
be glad rather than sorry.
=, A venerable and historically hallowed
part of the State House Buildings is
quite unfit for inspection. The old City
Hall and United States Supreme Court
/. house at Fifth and Chestnut streets is
almost as dilapidated as Edwin H. Wares
downtown "home" Bolted doors hide
the shame from visitors, but the broken
windows convey thoroughly dismal i'm
preston of what the interior must be
like.
p The four-starred commander has told
us he is coming back to look US over

TT is the silent vote, the mass of Opln-
ion that holds allegiance to neither
faction, that will decide today's election.
b. 1t is clear that the organized forces in
the mGyoralty fight are pretty evenly
divided. Conservative voters who are
accustomed to stay away from the polls
because of an impression that elections
are won by organizations rather than by
the individual ballot never had such an
opportunity to make their influence felt
as they have today.
1t is the duty of every registered voter
to cast ballot on this occasion. AS the
fight goes today affairs in Philadelphia
( will go for four years-and perhaps for
"a longer period. If the smaller Council
!. is boss controlled, boss control may be
given new advantages under the now
= charter. 1t will be harder to abolish in
the future. The election involves great
opportunities and greater responsibilities
FOR the unattached voter. 1t is the op
portunty of his lifetime.
If the election is permitted to go to
the cynics and corruptionists, the blame
will not be on the members Of any fac
;,tion. 1t will rest properly on the unor-
ganized voters; upon the citizens who
: like to talk about their respectability.
These are the men who can elect the
Mayor and the majority in Council today
if they will take the trouble to go to
the polls.
They are the balance of power.

And the courtiers carol and sing;
For some of her fouters
She sees mid the shouters
Who chorus the loud Hail the King!'

Her king wear his crown on the morrow?
Will the mandate he issues today keep him

Or land him in chains forged by Sorrow7
Will he rule in his might
Or be dumped out of sight?
Let him answer with courage, and fling
The fetters that bind him
Forever behind him -
And he will forever be King!

settled there will be some clearer think
ing on the subject than has prevailed in
the past. And it is likely also that
public sentiment will be created which
will frown upon general strikes in other
forms of employment affecting neccssi-
ties of life. That is where the labor lead
ers have erred.
The CummnS railroad bill forbids
railroad workers to strike because they
are employed in an industry on the con-
tinuancc of which the whole nation is
dependent. But the heads of the fourteen
railroad brotherhoods and unions have
made a protest against this prohibition.
They insist that "the right to strike as a
last resort is ingrancd in the nature of
the American workingman," and they
object to any provision Of law which will
prevent American workingmen from
tying up interstate commerce whenever
they sec fit.
They seem to forget that the right to
interfere with interstate commerce is
already denied to them.
This issue was raised in the Chicago
railroad strike when Cleveland was
President. In spite Of the protests of
Governor Altgcld, Of Illinois, the Prcs-
dent sent United States troops into Chi
cago to protect the railroad companies
in the operation Of their cars. The ques-
tion was taken to the Supreme Court.
which sustained the President in every
particular. Now, if the army can be
called out to keep the trains moving,
what is the use of a strike which cannot
succeed without preventing the trains
from moving?
The nation will not consent to the
stoppage of the railroads. They are the
arteries through which the likelihood Of
the communities flows. 1t is preposter-
Gus that any group Of men should assume
that it has the right to put tournQuet
on any one of these arteries at its pleas
ure.
The unanimous condemnation Of the
Boston policemen is likely to remove the
danger Of future police strikes.
But we have some distance to go before
the right of railroad men to strike is as
generally denied. But it will be denied
ultimately as sure as there is sense Of
justice and fair play in the American
heart. We are not going to consent TO
any system which will paralyze all in
dustry. The sooner the labor unions
realize this fact and adjust their con-
duct accordingly the better for the whole
cause of unionism
