WANTS TO KNOW
 WHOSE BABY IS RUTH
Famous Novelist Gives Unique An swcr to Theatrical Men, Regarding
 The ''Sultan of SWat.''


 New York, Oct. 2s.--Babe Ruth's reputation as a ball player has spread all the way to Japan, but apparently it took the western route. At any rate, the fame of the Yankee home run specialist has entirely escaped George Bernard Shaw, the well-known boxing expert who only few months ago pronounced that Georges Car pentier should be a 1-to-50 favorite over Jack Dempsey. A short time ago E. F. Albee, after signing Ruth for 8 vaudeville tour on the Keith circuit, mentioned the fact to a group of friends, including John J. Me Graw, Lawrence Waterbury, John Ringing, Tex Rickard and John J. Murdock. Mir. Albee was debating whether or not Ruth should be ad- vertised as ''the superman of base ball.'' Rickard ventured the opinion that the "superman" question would be properly decided by MT. Shaw and he cabled for Shaw's judgment as to Ruth's qualifications for the dis tinction.
 Would it be quite proper to bill Babe Ruth as the superman of base balr!" read Richards cable dispatch to Shaw, and the answer, received yesterday, was as follows:
 Sorry. never heard of her.. Whose baby is Ruth? "(signed) BERNARD SHAW Shaw? Ruth is reported to have unused when he was apprised> of the answer. Shaw? is that the guy that used to catch for St. Louis?''

to the fact that the Los Angeles chamber of commerce is endeavorins to have established a Forest of States" in the Exposition park of that city in cooperation with the city park commission. I know of no more prolific means of distributing unde sirable pests than enterprise of this sort. Incidentally, no less than two states CPennsy1vania and Mainel have attempted to fill this order by send ing pine trees in violation of federal and state auarantines. I believe the sending from Pennsylvania actually got through and was destroyed by the authorities. We have advised the deputy forest commissioner of Maine of the impossibility of complying with the request. IL seems to me it would be a good plan to do a little educational work in relation to this enterprise and for the purpose of pre- venting the example of Los Angeles being followed by other cities of California

AGAIN SET DATE FUR HANGING IF
 AACH|N MARTIN
Supreme Court Affirms Verdict Of Lower Court !; Cold-Blooded Staying Of Arthur De Steunder In 1919

Nachin Martin will be hanged at thes state penitentiary on June 10. 'rhat was the judgment of the su- preH9s court yesterday affixed to an affirmation of the judgment and con viction of Martin, with death sen tence. imposed by Judge Sweeney Of the Yavapai county superior court year ago. The time fixed by the su- perior court for the hanging of Martin hhving passed. it devoived upon the supreme court to set another limit on his life.
 In the opinion dismissing the ap- peal, written by Justice Baker, there is a graphic review of Martins crime
 On October of 1919 the half in- cinerated body of a man was. found along the road between the towns pf Kingman and Seligman. The body was identified, by means of a badge and other marks, as that of Cana dian soldier a member Of the 2oth Battalion Canadian Infantry. He proved to be Arthur De Steunder who had served overseas and had been wounded The body later was def initely identified by brother, John Emil De Steunder, who came on from Canada.
 Shot Tn the Back
 De Steunder had been shot in the back with a sS-caliber bullet which passed through his body and wee found in the half-b burned clothing in front. The shooting had been com mitted in an automobile which from the tracks was found to be headed westward. and from this automobile the body had been dragged about l50 feet to the place where the murderer had tied to burn it.
 It later was learned that De Steun- der and Martin were travelling to the coast in an automobile, and they had been seen by several parties along the way. They had been heard to quarrel over money matters, De Steunder claiming that Martin owed him money, which Martin denied.
 On the night of October Martin arrived in Kingman alone and regist- cred under another name than that of Martin. He went on to the coast, and some weeks later was arrested at Yettem, Cal, still in possession Of the automobile. There were blood spots on the machine which, 1t ap- peared, an intellectual attempt had been made to remove Under the car pet of the machine there was found A blood stained muslin. bag. There also were the soldiers trousers of Martin who had exchanged the ser vice suit he had worn in Arizona for a civilian suit. These trousers bore blood-spots which Martin said had come from a finger he had cut.
 Find Many Clues
 But more damaging than anything else were certain articles known to

but remotely connected herewith
 An instance of this kind recently has been called to the attention of the California department of agriculture and furnishes a classical example of how some of these original ideas work out Some one conceived the idea of establishing a so-called For est of States in Exposition park Los Angeles Word was sent to all of the different. states requesting each to furnish a tree for this pur- pose which would be planted by its state society under the auspices of the park superintendent. While a number of the states have endeavored to comply with the Los Angeles re- quests. some have found. however that trees which they desired to have planted to represent their state were not allowed to be rsoved interstate by the federal regulations; others were denied entry by the laws of the state of California

 The city recently attempted to es- tablish a so-called Forest of States" in Exposition park which has been held by the department of agriculture as a prolific means of distributing undesirable pests.''

planted by it's state society in what would become "A Forest of States" Arizona promptly sent its contribu- tion and many other states followed suit.
 It is generally believed that there are sufficient pests in California without other states contributing and such is the view taken by the federal authorities.
 Who of the uninitiated ever had reason to contemplate the many. con alterations which must be met in any project inaugurated by state or government for the protection of the agricultural interests of it's lands against the introduction of plant pests and diseases? While the fact may be recognized that there are regular channels which perhaps con tribute more than others to the pos sible introduction of undesirable pests, beyond this their reasoning does not go and beyond their par ticular line of thought it is difficult to convince them Of the error of their ways.

REGULATION OF PICTURES.

The regulation of the motion picture
industry is receiving much attention
from teachers and others interested in
keeping the right ideals before the
youth OF the country, and the scandals
attaching to the industry in recent
months have tended to center attention
upon the need for better pictures. That
the country is alive to this situation to
an extent at least, 1t Is pointed out by
the National Education association, is
made manifest by the prompt action
taken by exhibitors in canceling show
ings of certain motion picture star
recently.
Along this line the National Educa-
ton association says: There are stan
dards fixed in the minds Of thinking
people everywhere which are as mex
orabel as thise fixed by legislatures
and courts. and it may safely be pre-
dicted that regardless of the verdict of
the court on specific charges preferred
in this case. the public will express
its disapproval of licentious behavior
by refusing to see pictures produced
by stars of low character.
There are those in the motion pic
ture business who would put the task
of entertaining the public on high
plane. The general effort on the part
of picture producers to make contracts
that will protect them from degenerate
stars is evidence that they are trying
to eliminate the undesirable element

Henri Desire Landru, who had 238
sweethearts and is accused of murder
ing at least ten of them, is now on
trial for his life.
The trial takes place in France-at

are proved, Baron de Retz. the origi-
