QUEENS CHAIR IN JUNGLE
Africans Say Spirit 81 Old i, Chief
Guards Supposed Gift o.
Victoria. i

LondOn.-The massive chair made of
copper. which natives believe was CIV
en- by the late Queen Victoria of Eng
land to an Ashanti chieftain and used
by him as his throne, has been ,discov-
cred In the midst Of a jungle far from
human habitatioa in the Gold Coast
colony. West Africa. According to ma
tive legend, 1t was placed over the
grave Of the chieftain who had occu-
pied It when alive.
In their superstition, they believe he
still sits upon his old throne In spirit
at certain times and, for this reason,
they have never tried to move the
chair, which, they declare, has now
rooted itself in the ground, says a
dispatch to the Daily Graphic.
A Gold coast surveyor first stumbled
across this curiosity. A search party
returned to the spot and found the
jungle so dense that the natives had
to hack a path with cutlasses through
the underground.
In spite Of inquiry, no confirmation
Of the native story al to the history
of the chair has been obtainable and
how it came to be in the jungle re-
mains q mystery.

Professor Rice Says That In Al His

Never Saw Such Feroelous +

headed by DR.. Alexander Hamilton

near the banks Of the Orinoco with
giant cannibals, returned here from

With Doctor Rice came Mrs. Rice.

Philadelphia, who accompanied her
husband on some of his South Ameri-
explorations; Chester H. Ober,
geographer of the expedition A. w.
Swanson, J. E. Mason and DR.. G. e..
Byers.
1t was while exploring an unnamed
tributary Of the Orinoco river that the
party was attacked. The discharge of
firearms failed to scare off the saw
ages, who were described as large and
fierce. and the explorers only escaped
by firing into them, killing either
two or three. The party then turned
back.
Not Previously Seen Since 1863.
"The cannibals were almost white
in color" Professor White said. I'm
all my years In the tropical jungles I
have never e such ferocious look
Ing savages. Nearly all were armed
with bows and arrows and carried
spears and blowguns. They were
more than six feet tall and l recog-
nized them as cannibals of the Quart
Dos tribe, a mountain legion consid-
cred the most ferocious of all the saw
ages in either Venezuela, Colombia, or
Brazil"
TheSprofessor declared he believed
1t was the first time these cannibals
were met by white men since 1893,
when a Spanish expedition discovered
them.

William Desmond, tie star with a
smile in every punch, blarneys and
fights his way through five thrilling
reels in "The Blue Bandanna," his
latest,production, which will be shown
at the Unique theatre Friday and Sat-
urday.
"The Blue Bandanna" is an origin
al story by Eugene B. Lewis, made
under the direction of Joseph j. Franz
for Robertson-C Cole release.
This is a story of the vest as Jerry
Jerome (Desmond), a young New
York millionaire, found it. When the
doctor told Jerry his hemoglobin was
forty points shy, which accounted for
several cylinders in his brain motor
missing, Jerry hiked for the west in
order to get away from the excite
ment Of Wall street and feed on the
mental pap of the wild and woody.
But Jerry ran into more excitement
in Wyoming in a few weeks than the
bulls and bears of "the street" had
ever stirred up. The stage driver told
Linn "they amt no excitement in the
west no more" but Jerry hadn't been
there twenty-four hours when the
bandits got busy.
Jerry got busy too, and with the
enthusiasm of a kid started out to
emulate Nick Carter and run the
bandits to earth. When he found
one of the bandits was the father of
the girl he had fallen in love with,
and vas an ex-convict besides, it COM
plicated matters all around.
Jean Acker wins new favor in the
role of Ruth Yoncy. Others in IN

of this city released Lewis Bible on
his own recognizance when he was
arraigned on the charge Of passing q
bad check.
Your Names said the Judge,
sounds all right. I'm betting that
you! will come back ON the day set
for your trials
The day came, and the hour-9
o'clock In the forenoon-and no Bible
put in an appearance. The witnesses
were there, both for the state and
the defense. They had not, seen Bible
since the day he was released. ] y
"I,hts is n time you have made a
mistake" observed the county attor-
ney to, Judge Maxey. The Judge shook
his head. - Y. a
"His name is all right" he con-
tended, land he looked all right to
me. But I may have been mistaken"
At $50 the witnesses were dis
charged and the case set over to an
other day. Judge Maxey ordered that
the sheriff be sent to him he would
have Lewis Bible apprehended.
Ten o'clock came and a man on
clutches hobbled into the court room.
He was Lewis Bible, with one leg
done up in splints and bandages.
II got here as soon as I could.

Then he explained that after his re-
lease he went to Cometa and went to
work, His leg was broken the first
day, and he had been in bed ever
since. A friend in Cometa volunteered
