Pastor Prefers Poker
Playing Pupils to
Passionate in CITY

Columbus, O., Dec. 2S.-Here's a
preacher who not only knows every
card in the deck, but who can play,
and does play, poker.
His name is Rev R. Arthur
Basham, Presbyterian clergyman.
Leaving the city, he has become
parson to miners in copper camps
at Athapupuskow Lake, northern
Manitoba He would rather live the
rough and ready life of this Cana
dian mining camp than hold down
$4,000 pastorate in one of the big
eastern cities of the United States.
I'D rather be Santa Claus to a
bunch of miners than a minister to
all the elders in Christendom," said
Basham.
Il have played cards with the min
ers and | am willing to match the
miners bible-a deck of cards
against the Bible l teach any day.
II was tried for heresy once for
playing whist in the home of one of
the elders of my church. While
spades are trumps as rule among
these miners, l believe that | can
tell them something about Christ,
who is the ace of hearts, and am
confident that He will take some
tricks.
mo doubt they will have pair of
dueces when they get us" said Ba-
sham, explaining that his wife, for
mer Columbus girl, expects to go
with him to the Canadian mining
camp.
Basham was pastor for while at
Buffalo, where he rented theatef
every Sunday where he preached, in
stead of in his church, to packed
houses.

Franco-italian Scandal In
Rome; Duel May Follow

Rome, Dec. 28.-Great interest has
been aroused in Roman society cir
cles by an incident which occurred
the other day at the Hotel Excelsior
when a young patrician, Count
Malatesta. publicly slapped French
officer, Captain Loiseau, in the face.
Ii appears that the latter had been
spreading defamatory reports con-
corning the counts financial COR
rectness when attached to military
mission abroad. Captain Loiseau's
seconds, Prince Ruspoli and Mar
quis Spinola, Immediately waited on
the count demanding satisfaction
and were referred to the latter's
seconds, Count Pallavincino and,
Signor Casalini. In all probability
a jury. of honor will be held to
decide if the duel can take place.

Wild Elk, Deer and Sheep
Suffer From Severe Winter

Denver, Colo, Dec. 2S.-The many
early winter snowstorms and un-
usually low temperatures prevailing
throughout Colorado and Wyoming
this season are threatening elk, deer
and bighorn sheep that roam the
prairies with extinction.
State authorities in Wyoming
have notified the federal government
that nearly 10000 wild elk in that
state are severely suffering from
lack of food.
In the national park preserves
deer and elk are reported grazing
within few rods of human habita-
ton so tame have they become in
their search for sustenance.
With the short grass of the ranges
covered with snow, and the supply
of hay to feed the animals practical
ly exhausted, it is a common sight
to see deer and elk straying into the
confines of. ranches or easing along
the highway looking for something
to eat. 1t is even said by some that
deer and elk have invaded kitchens
and fingered on porches in an effort

Moon-Although the woman had
suffered the misery of the unloved

of her wedding, she had the courage
to fight on. She even brought COM

unearthed diary that told her the
history of her husbands past life.
This discovery led to a most I'M

it eventually brought her happiness.
But how and why? By seeing

New Jersey May Allow
Beer and Wine Sales

New Brunswick. N. J., Dec. 28.-
The preamble of the bill authorizing
the sale of beer and light wines in
New Jersey was made public by
State Senator Thomas Brown, who
will introduce the measure at the
next session of the state legislature.
Senator Brown said that the bill it.
self is not yet ready for publication.
The preamble set forth that the
state of New Jersey has not ratified
the 18th amendment, doubts that it
was passed in a constitutional man
ner. and intends to disregard the
Volstead act and pass an enforce
ment bill, which will be supreme
within the limits of the state SEN
ator Brown said that the theory
upon which Governor-elect Edwards
and his supporters are working is
that the 18th amendment gives equal
power to congress and the states in
the enforcement of prohibition and
that the congressional enactmet ap-
plies only where there is a state law
in effect.

n THEL CLAYTONS picture,
n, More Deadly Than the
~ Male" now at the Strand,
possesses all the earmarks of a
grim melodrama until just before
the finale, when a few revelations
turn it abruptly into a delightful
comedy drama.
The central figure is a capable,
high spirited girl in love with a
wealthy clubman who is used to
searching in queer corners of the
globe for excitement and adventure
When she urges him to settle down
to useful occupation, he retorts that
there are no thrills in modern civil
cation, whereupon she sets the
wheels of life in action to prove he
is mistaken. More Deadly Than

the Strand today and until Wednes-
day evening.

PASTORS WIFE
TIRED" OF PLACE
SO STEPS OUT.
Rev. Carl ]. Lucas Hints at
Eternal Triangle and Quotes
Wesley.

New York, Dec. 28.--It became
known that Mrs. Carl ]. Lucas, wife,
of the pastor of the German Evan
gelical Lutheran church. in New
Jersey avenue, near Liberty avenue.
Brooklyn, deserted him several
years ago and left note, saying
she was tired of being the wife of
clergyman, with the restrictions
imposed on her as such"
Mr. Lucas admitted that his wife
had left him and said she had left
correspondence which he later SUBJ
mitted to the church council, at the
same time offering to resign. The
council, the minister added. refused
to accept his resignation, absolving
him from all blame and passing
resolution criticizing his wife's con-
duct.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lucas were married
a little more than six years ago.
She was Miss Maudie Hess of To-
lcdo.
The minister said his wife's
whereabouts were unknown to him.
and that it was simply the old story
of an eternal triangle" He quoted
John Wesley, saying his sentiments
were therein reflected, as follows
He did not ask her to go away
and he did rot ask her to return"
Leslie Finkleday, secretary OF the
church Council, did not agree with
the minister. He said Mr.. Lucas had
made no statement to the council
that a third man was involved in
the disappearance OF his wife and
that he had evinced no desire to re-
sign. Finkleday also denied that he
and his associates had passed 4 reso-
luton criticizinp Mrs. Lucas.
