Him from Taking
Sixth Wife.

New York, Jan. 31.-Nat c. Good
win, the actor, died at a hotel here
early today, after a brief Illness. He
came to New York last Monday
from Baltimore where he had
been playing. Death was due to a
general breakdown. as a result OF
overwork.
Born at Boston. Mass. July %,
1857, Goodwin was a familiar fig
ure on the American stage for
many years. He made his first ap-
peaTance in 1874, and subsequently
played leading roles in many sue
cessful plays, both in the United
States and England.
GoodWin'S 5 histTOniC career was to
date back TO his school days IN an
academy at Pennington. Maine,
where his ability at mimicry won
him local renown. After brief per
iOds at Clerkships in Boston stores,
during which he read Shakespeare
and studied dramatic art. he made
his professional debut as a newsbOy
in Law in New York" at Boston in
1874. The following year found him
At the famous Tony Pastors in
New York, and from then until his
death his theatrical activities were
marked with almost uninterrupted
successes, both as star and as pro
duCer. in America, England and
Australia.
Goodwin was five times married
His first wife was Eliza Weather
nv nFE- ysr- ~61
1887. 4 few years later he mar
ried Nellie Baker Pease; in 1898,
Maxine Elliott, with whom he ap-
peared in a large repertoire of plays
including several of ShakeSpeare's
subsequently Miss Edna Goodrich
tBessie Edna Stephens). who was
his leading woman for several
years and his most recent wife was
Margaret Moreland, now the wife
of an army lieutenant GOodwin's
country home was at Ocean Park,
Santa Monica, California.
Goodwin was soon to have taken
a sixth wife, Georgia Gardner, of
Los Angeles, California, who is
playing in the company In which
Goodwin was starring at the time
of his death. She came to New
York a few days ago to arrange
for his care.
The removal of Goodwin's eye
was the result of an error on an
part some weeks ago in
an eye-wash for the ac-
tor. Chloroform instead of the US
ual remedy was placed in the cup.
Goodwin's eye was badly hurt, la
ter necessitating removal.
At the hotel today it was said the
actor suffered a slight stroke of
apoplexy before he died.
Goodwin's parents live in Rox-
bury, Mass, where burial will take
place.

American youths as a permanent
national policy is proposed in bill

POLICE RUSH
or
ENCLISHC
Several Hurt in Fight
Situation Reaches a
Critical Stage.

Glasgow, Jan. 31.-Severl
persons were injured here to-
day when the police charged
a crowd of strikers with their
batOns. The mounted police
were called out and number
OF arrests were made.
London, Jan. 31.-The critical
stage of the strike on the city was
expected to be reached today as a
result of meeting of the strikers
to receive the governments answer
to the telegram sent by the Lord
Provost transmitting the request of
the strikers for the government to
intervene to secure for them for
ty-hour week.
London dispatches last night
said the government had sent re-
ply to the Provost, declining 10 in
tervene.
The people of Glasgow are just
beginning to realize the gravity of
the situation and the danger of the
city's drifting into the same condi-
tions that prevail at Belfast. The
power Of the Glasgow strike COM
mittee appears to be increasing and
it is now exercising complete au-
thority over the electricity depart
ment of the city As the large in
dustrial plants, almost without ex-
ceptiOn, employ electric power, the
strike committees control gives it
a great advantage.
The supply of electricity has been
reduced to One-tenth of the normal
thereby causing a number of plants
to shut down and making a ma
jority of the city's working pOpula-
tion idle.
Late last night the municipalities
authorities, including the tram
guards, the motormen and most of
the laborers in the employ of the
municipality, decided 10 vote on the
question of striking The result
will not be known until tomorrow.
All the trade unions in Scotland
are expected to he represented at
a conference in Glasgow tomorrow
to consider a resolution supporting
the strike and calling upon the
TO enact a forty-hour
working law.
II is said that the conference in
tends to organize a national strike.
Advices from Belfast up to
before noon showed no
change in the strike situation there.
Strike pickets, with white hat
bands. aided the police to preserve
order after dark last night.

Annapolis. Md, Jan. 5f.-ln pre-
senting commissions today TO the
last class Of reserve officers train
ed at the United States naval acad-
emy during the war. Secretary
Daniels predicted that there will
be no time Of recession OF interest
IN the navy"
Not IN your day" the naval sec
retary told the young officers, will
there be any reduction OF naval
power. We are now on the last
stretch OF building the three-year
program OF naval construction
which was authorized three years
ago"
Secretary Daniels said he had
no doubt that congress would
adopt the recommendation of the
programs Of construction
\ In building ships under that pro-
S<am he said types of vessels
would be constructed which would
keep our navy abreast of any navy
in the world"
Not to BniId Against Others.
We shall not build against any
nation the secretary continued,
because We have faith that the
league of peace will bring about
such friendship and understand
among all nations as will ultimate
~ cause a reduction in armament
and d consequent decrease of ex-
penditures for naval strength We
shall not build against any nation,
but so long as this republic needs
navy, we must have one, for our
own protection and to preserve the
peace of the world, that will be
powerful, strong and modern.
Need Big Navy Il, Do Duty.
1T would be a sin for America,
rich and powerful, to be beholden
TO any other country on account of
no naval protection. We must re-
member always that the mainte-
nance OF the Monroe doctrine is
our peculiar responsibility and
duty. and for its proper mainte-
nance a navy strong enough and
powerful enough to measure up to
our responsibility and our obliga-
tions"

Trucks Not Profitable on General
Farms


A preliminary study toward deter
mining whether motor trucks as part
Of the farm equipment would be
profitable in the corn belt states, con-
Quoted by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, INDICATES that
under present conditions the purchas-
ing Of truck is not warranted on the
ordinary grain and livestock farm,
only as il makes possible the elimina-
ton Of some horses in the practice
possible. On 200 farms, stocked, rang
ing from 100 acres TO section, one
man and one team do all the hauling
necessary to market produce in thirty
days. and the work is so distributed
throughout the year that the use Of
the truck would not make possible
the sale Of any horses. Farmers in
reach by motor trucks of large cities
where better prices prevail for live
stock. and possibly grain, might be
justified in buying truck, but even
in such cases II is probable that hir-
ing the hauling done by custom truck
owner would be more economical
With regard TO truck farms, the stu
alton is somewhat different. Where
produce is taken TO market on the
average Of two or three times week
throughout the year the use Of a
truck makes ii possible to get on with
fewer horses This makes the use of
a truck more desirable than on gen
eral farms.
