NAP0LEoN's ONE. BIG QUALITY
Great Frenchman's Fascination Lay in
His NDirsctness, That's All,
T.. Says n. G. Wells.

The world has largely recovered
from the mischief that Napoleon did !;
perhaps that amount Of mischief had
to be done by some agency; perhaps
hts career, or some such career, was
a necessary consequence Of the worlds
mental unpreparedness for, the. crisis
Of the revolution. But that his pc
culiar personality should dominate the
imagInations of great numbers OF peo-
pie, throws'a light upon factors of en-
during significance in our human
problem.
Marat was q far more noble, per-
sistent, subtle and pathetic figure
Talleyrand greater statesman and q
much more amusing personality
Moreau and Hoch ADLER leaders of
armies; his rival, Gar Alexander, rs
egotistical, more successful, more emo
tional, and with finer Imagination.
Are men dazzled simply by the scale
Of his fiounderings. by the mere vast
ness OF his notoriety? -
No doubt scale has something to do
with the matter; he was. q record
the record plunger; but there Is
something more in it than that. There
is an appeal in Napoleon to something
deeper and more fundamental IN hu'
man nature than mere establishment at
bigness. His very deficiencies bring
out starkly certain qualities that TURK

GREAT ACTRESS KISSED POET
Sarah Bernhard Made Her Meeting
With Lonafe1Iow an Event to
BE Remembered.

When Sarah Bernhardt came to
America in the seventies sculpture
was her "side line" AS soon as she
arrived in Boston she expressed de-
sire to do the bust of Longfellow, says
the Christian Science Monitor. Long
fellow, however, though not insensihle
Of the honor, declined. he said that
he was aboutsto leave for Portland,
Me-, and feared that Mime. Bernhardt
would have departed before his re-
turn. Then, to mitigate the curtness
of his refusal, he asked thetragedienne
to his home, inviting William Dean
Howells and Oliver Wendell Holmes to
meet her,
They became very amiable toward
one another. and Longfellow. who
spoke excellent French, praised Nine.
Bernhardrs performance Of "Phedre,"
telling her she surpassed the great
Rachel, whom he had seen 80 years
earlier. The actress, not to be out
done, told the poet how much she en-
ioyed reading "Hiawatha," which she
pronounced Hee-a-vatere.
Evidently the affair Of the sculp-
tured bust did not ranile. for on her
departure, as the poet and his other
guests we're escorting her to her car
rage, she turned about suddenly, i'm
pulsively threw her arms about Long
fellows neck and, kissed him on the
cheek, said: "VOus etes adorable"

AMERICAN OFFICER HERO
"a NORlENTAL ROMANCE

Critics who have had an oppor-
tunity to, obtain pre-release view
Of the latest Universal Jewel produce
ton, 1.-THE Virgin of Stamboul,' star
ring Priscilla Dean, have been I'M
stinted In their praise Of this pictur-
esque photodrama which is announc-
ed for next Wednesday and Thursday
at the Grand theatre.
The story was written especially
for Priscilla Dean by H. II. Van Loan
and it is said that, he kept her vision
before him constantly during the
months he was at work on this color
full romance, the scenes of which are
laid in STEAMBOAT, the wickedest city
in the city. The result is, from all
accounts, that Van Loan has supplied
Miss Dean with a role that permits
hef-tO. exercise the thousand and one
phases Of. her magnetic art.
The central figure in THE Virgin
of Stamboul" Is Sari, beggar girl on
the streets of the Turkish city; wild
as an Arabian steed, and according
to the Moslem creed, with soul as
the filth in the streets. While secret
ed in the mosque, whittier she has
gone, against the, law, to pray that
her soul be clsansed, she. is witness to
a brutal crime and becomes embodied
in a chain of circumstances as fan
tastic as the Arabian Nights. ~
Sari's meeting with the young Am
erican commander of the Black Horse
troop, composed Of the scum of Asia,
her wooing by the powerful sheik,
her Imprisonment in and the escape
rom the harem, her wild ride across
the desert, at the head of the untam-
ed cavalry-all are but a few incl
tents from story that is alive with
tense drama and stirring situations.
The photodrama has. been given a
sumptuous production by Tod Brown
ing and the principal characters are
portrayed by Miss Dean, Wheeler
Oakman, Wallace Berry, E. A. War
rem, Edward Burns, Eugene Forde,
Ethel Richie, Nigel de Bruillier and
Yvette Mitchell.

LODGE CAUSES
FINAL BREAKIN
TREATY PARLEY
Refuses to Accept Amendment
Drafted by Taft and Demo
Gratis Walk Out.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80 The b.-
partisan conferees to-day definitely
broke off all negotiations for treaty
compromise.
The final break came when Senator
Lodge refused TO accept reserva-
ton 10 Article X drafted by former
President william II. Taft and pro-
sented TO the bipartisan conference
by the Democrats.
The Democratic Senator's walked
out OF the conference and announced
they would seek some other method
OF obtaining ratification.
The Democratic leaders said the
next step would not be determined
until there had been a consultation
among the friends of the treaty. They
Indicated that nothing would be done
for a few days.
To-day's development caused great
surprise In view of an announcement
earlier that Article X. would not be
considered at to-days session, and
that the conferences would be held in
abeyance, but not broken or during a
brief absence from Washington of

Bank Murder.
HUNT FOR ACCOMPLICE.
Nation Searched and $500
Reward Is Offered-Slayer'S
Identity a Secret.

sheriIs, policemen and detective
agencies all over the United States
and Canada have been asked by the
police OF Brooklyn, cooperating with
District Attorney Harry f. Lewis, to
arrest on sight one Elton c. Wing,
II, who the District Attorney charges
was Gorden Fawcett Hanby's ac-
complice in the hold-up OF the East
Brooklyn Savings Bank on Dec. 10,
1918, when two employees OF the bank
were shot and killed. For the arrest
and conviction OF young Wing the
directors Of the bank offer u reward
Of $500.
ConcealIng his identity TO the last,
the man known as Handy was exc
cuted in Sing Sing Prison last night.
He was pronounced dead at 1116
o'clock. Neither friend nor relative
coming forward to claim his body,
Without any religious services
HaGnbys body was buried in the
prison burial ground at 1890 o'clock
this morning. The body was in a
plain comm. Prisoners in charge Of
Keeper Robert Martin dug the grave
and filled it in. There were no floral
tributes. Burial was at the States
expense.
DR.. Thomas w. Edgar OF No. 1858
West End Avenue, a witness of the
execution, thought he recognized
Handy as a young man by the name
of Walsch who visited his office on
Dec, 20, 1917. nut District Attorney
Lewis declared day that Ihe had
positive knowledge that Handy was
neither in nor near New York on
that day.
BrOoklyn's interest in the Handy
case, the District Attorney said. cen
tres in the hunt for Wing. who is de-
scribed as S feet inches tall, weigh
ing about 14O pounds, with blue eyes,
protTuding ears and light chestnut
hair, inclining to be curly. The
United States coat OF arms is tat
tooed ON his right forearm.
The man whom we know as Elton
Wing" Mr.. Lewis said, has no Grim
ina record OF any kind in that we can
find no conviction against him any
where. He probably never was with
Handy on any other job than the East
Brooklyn Bank, for it was Hamby's
unfailing custom to pick a new pal for
every job and break with him
promptly.
I'VE know, from Hamby's story and
our own investigation, that the man
who was executed last night followed
the sea, had been to Europe many
times and knew South American ports
as well as he knew New York. On
one Of his voyages he appears to have
fallen in with young Wing"
