The idea OF the enterprise was the
invention of Belland himself, who said
that he is an author by profession and

sought that he would map out the au
tomobile roads of the world, with suit
able camping sites, and that he would
consent to diet himself in the interests
of science to determine the limits Of
physical endurance. The advertising
that his trip would receive incidentally
would guarantee the sale of the story
Of his tour, while the motion pic
ture rights OF the features of the tramp
have been disposed of Belland's diet
in his test OF the durability Of man"
as he said of his trip, is very simple,
Grains, vegetables, raw beef, mutton
or veal compose it, while pork and
its products, and milk are denied him
He said that if he were to be sick for
two hours he would lose his prize
He has worn out 80 pairs of shoes to

a black cap, sailor blouse, blue serge
pants, leather army puttees and heavy
tan shoes. He carried knapsack with
his writing materials, data and :oi.et

Joseph Levenson, State Motion Pic
ture Commissioner, last night told the
New York Republican County Commit
tee that the reason for the recent de-
feat of the forces standing for good
government in this city was that the
masses of the voters either are unable
or unwilling to comprehend fundameR-
tai political morality.
Mr.. Levenson cited the findings made
by Professor Goddard of Princeton,
who analyaed the mental tests of
1,50O0 900 American soldiers in the
World War and discovered that only
Az per cent disclosed highly intelligent
men.
The speaker declared, in summing
up. that unless political leaders are
insistent upon holding to truth and
morality In political standards govern
ment and civilization will fail
Revertng to his own commission
Mr.. Levenson said that 100000 people
in the state managed to see the movies
every day of fhe year. and he asserted
that it was of fundamental Importance
that the screen pictures be decent and
Instructive He paid his respects tc
the State Federation of Labor, which
this week demanded the abolition of
movie censorship, asserting that the
demand arose from Grass ignorance,
and that similar instances Of brainless-
ness on the part of organized labor
could be cited.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
N0RRISTOWN, Pa, Dec. 15.-Miss
Marjorie Barker, tewenty years old, OF
Michigan City, Ind, niece of an auto
mobile manufacturer, testified to-day
in Common Pleas Court here in her man
damus proceedings to compel her rein
statement as Il student at Bryn Mawr
College. The question before the court
was whether the college authorities
had the right to dismiss Miss Barker
without giving specific reason"
The complainant testified that sus-
picion had been directed at her short
ly before her dismissal in connection
with the disappearance of several ar
ticles from the rooms of other stu
dents. To defend herself, Miss Barker
said that she had asked the president
of the institution for hearing before

New Hearing Is Ordered
In Check-Off Quarrel
Federal Appeals Court Directs
Judge Anderson to Enter Pre-
liminary Injunction

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-The injunction
forbidding the check-off system of col
lecting miners dues recently issued by
Judge A. B. Anderson in Federal Court
at Indianapolis was ordered recast to-
day by the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals. 1t was remanded to Judge
Anderson with instructions to enter
preliminary injunction while the case
is being reheard.
The opinion was signed by Judges
Baker, Alschuler and Page. The Ap-
pellate Court took the case under ad-
visement several weeks ago after rep
resentatives of West Virginia and Ken
tucsy mining companies and represen-
tatives of the United Mine Workers of
America had appeared to argue the
case. The injunction banning the
check-off was ordered suspended on the
plea Of counsel for the miners union.
The opinion said the district court
in entering the restraining order had
erred in several particulars, especially
in enjoining the performance of tn
check-off system in the central com.
petitive field, when the granted relief
was confined to the Borderland Goa
Corpora ton, which brought the orig
inal action against the miners in be
half of itself and more than eighty
other companies.

Prisoner, Convicted as Slayer
of Woman, Said To BE
Oldest Murderer Ever
Executed in Sing Sing

OSSINING, N. Y, Dec. 15.--Georgc
Braaie, said to be the oldest murderer
ever in Sing Sings death house, was
put to death in the prison tonight.
He was sixty years old and shot his
common-law wife, Anna Van Patten,
about year ago at their homo near
Oneorts.
He entered the death chamber at
ll:os, calling out "Goodby, boys" us
the door closed behind him. Eight
minutes later he was dead
Until tho last he protested his in
nocence and the Rev. DR.. Anthony N.
Peterson, Protestant Episcopal chap
lain at the prison. believed his state
ments
"There are three persons know l am
innocent" Brazie said to-day. "They
are God Almighty, George Brazie and
Guy Hughes"
Hughes was the principal witness
against Brazie at the trial, and it was
largely in tho hope Of weakening his
testimony that Drazie's new counsel,
James Byard, made much of the dis
covery that the District Attorney of
Otsego County had caused an autopsy
to be performed on the body of Mrs,
Van Patten after Braxie was convicted
The autopsy showed, il was said
that only one bullet struck her.
Hughes had testified that Brazie fired
twice at her and because of this ap-
parent contradiction Mr.. Byard OBJ
tanned hearing for his client before
Governor Miller this week.
Until Mr.. Byard came into the case
Brazie received no copies of the record
and no announcements concerning the
progress being made, according to Or.
Petersen, although it is customary for
attorneys to keep their clients in
formed Of such matters. He was toe
poor to retain counsel at the time of
the trial and was defended by attor~
neys assigned by the court.
Brazie received a letter to-day from
Mrs. Anna Delucey, of Schenevus,
daughter of Mrs. Van Patten, thanking
him for bringing her up.
