SENTENCED TO LEARN SPEECH
Five Boys Must Know LincoIn's
Gettysburg Grafton or. Go to
Reform School.

Passaic, N. J.-Five boys who
amused themselves by throwing stones
ct trains and clambering about on
freight cars were sentenced by Re-
corder Barbour to learn Lincoln's
Gettysburg address and be prepared to
undergo a catechism on it unless they
wished to go to the reform school.
The eldest boy, John Haliniak, four
teen years old, of Athena, was told
that when he reported back to the re-
corder in four weeks he must be able
to recite the address.
II won't sentence you now," said
the recorder, ''but when you come
back here / want you to know some
thing about Lincoln's life and his great
address at Gettysburg. Study 1t as
you would lesson, and will regard
so points as a passing mark for your
recitation. For every five points be-
low so / will send you to the reform
school for a year."
The boys left court to get copies Of
the Gettysburg address with the de-
termination to read 1t till they know
it by heart and also know what IL
means.

Boy lie Convicted Of Murder, With

Atlanta, Ga.-Since time immemo-
rial women have wanted things be-
yond their reach and men have sacri-
feed themselves to crafty the wishes
of women.
So it was In the Garden of Eden,
when the apple appealed to Eve; so It
was when Cleopatra's ambition lured
Antony to ruin. Circe changed men
into beasts with her beauty. Helen Of
Troy sent them forth to fight and die
history is scared with the conse-
Quences to the men who risked their
lives that women's wishes might be

In today's variation on the ancient
theme-for there Is a new form Of 1t
Illustrated every day-out Of a youth
full romance-the infatuation Of an I'M
presslonable boy for a handsome girl
came larceny, burglary and finally
murder. Over the head Of the boy the
moose is suspended; before the eyes Of
the girl is the gridiron shadow Of pris-
on bars.
Though each blames the other for
the plight they are In, they are pitt
fully in love, and when the boy was
brought to trial charged with murder,
and the girl involved as a possible ac-
cessory, they sat side by side affec-
tionately.
Not Even Wild.
This is the story of Frank P. Du
Pre-, the Peachtree bandit, and Betty
Andrews Of the "Chu Chin Chow"
chorus.
Frank was seventeen years old
when they met In Atlanta two years
ago; she, sixteen, the child of divorced
parents, struggling for place In the
spotlight Of the stage; he the son Of
respected, refined parents, and not

But last month he broke into two
jewelry stores, looted them, shot and

Brooklyn.-Helen Ferguson Dressler
has been sentenced to six months in
the reformatory, following her first
trial for charges of becoming the wife
of 16 American soldiers and sailors

object was to get their allowances.
When she has served that sentence
she is scheduled for trials in Baltimore,
Nd; Norfolk, Va; Holyoke, Mass, and

Mayor Butler made an ideal chaper-
one for the merry-makers on the base
ball special to Hattiesburg Friday. His
greatest difficulty was in keeping Pat
Farrell from leaving the train at a wa
ter tank to do a little electioneering for
Tuesdays primary. When it, was point
ed out that these folks had no vote in
Brookhaven, Pat explained that some
time he might be running for a state Of
flee, and he wanted to get in his deadly
work while the getting was good.
Untz broke into the limelight with six
blows out of seven attempts. Manager
Ham set total base record by hitting
for eleven bases in eight trips up. He
smashed out three two-ply smashes. a
triple and two singles. Miller. besides
hurting the incest sort of a game, pad
died out couple Of long singles. Cupit
grabbed off triple and a single in the
first game, Castaing kept up his stick
work with a pair of bingles in the sec
and. and Eckhart and Eos each poled
cut pair.
Jones and Eckhart starred In the field
each making spectacular stabs Of SEEM
ingly safe blows.
A snicker slid along the Brookhaven
bench yesterday when Umpire Smith
called Eckhardt out on strikes-rot be-
cause the little centerfelder was called
out, but by the explanation offered by
Untz. He sees your big beak and
thinks you're me-" yelled Untz TO Eek
hardt, pointing to the jumps. And just
before. in a tilt with the jumps over
some rank decision, Untz has been in
formed that he'd be called out every
timeehe came to the plate and the mix
up in noses may have been the explana-
ton, at that.
Mines. Fish. Miller and Hollingsworth
had the time of their young lives over
at Hattiesburg Friday. They happened

and temper to tingle the ears and scorch
the cheeks.

ing adjunct to the Baseball Special,
was crowded to the limit coming back
from Hattiesburg last night by inter-
ested spectators of the impromptu ca
baret. Stick williams work with the

the stomach of Frank Carl will be
submitted later. The Indictment Of
Mrs. Carl immediately followed.
Cling believes that the probable mo-
tive for the murder was the desire to
obtain insurance and property.
1t was while the wife OF Gibson that
the woman came to Greenfield about
nine years ago. Gibson Is said to have
had several thousand dollars inSur-
ance and small tract of land near
Greenfield.
Upon arrest, Mrs. Carl exhibited
calm behavior and has persistently
said nothing concerning the case. Lit
tie is known concerning the woman
previous TO her coming to Greenfield.
A search of the house she occupied
is said to have revealed nothing of an
discriminating nature.

Greenfield, Ind.-A parallel to the
case of Mrs. LYDIA Southard, the "wom-
an Bluebeard' now serving prison
sentence for the murder by poisoning
Of one of several husbands, may be
developed here through the arrest of
Clara Gibson Carl for the murder Of
Alonzo B. Carl, her father-in-law.
Mrs. Carl is charged with having
given arsenic to- the father of her hus-
band, Frank e. Carl, In August, 1921,
In indictments returned by the county
grand jury few days ago. The death
Of her husband followed soon after
that of his father and under similar
circumstances. A former husband of
Mrs. Carl, Robert Gibson, also died
under rather mysterious circumstances
in March, 1920, and is now buried in
Springfield, o. 1t is said his body will
be ordered taken up and examined.
After their deaths, the bodies of the
Carls were taken to Hiawatha Kan,
their former home, and buried. In
November, last year, the grand jury of
Hancock county, Indiana, unearthed
evidence that caused it to recommend
the disinterment of the bodies Of the
Carls with the view Of determining
the manner of their deaths.
Arsenic 10 Found.
Waldo Cling, prosecuting attorney Of
Hancock county, acted on the jury's
recommendations and moved to obtain
the removal Of the bodies.

SPORT SPARKS
DIAMOND DUST

After winning two and tying one,
the first three starts, you'd naturally
think the fans would join in a happy,
united chorus of approval of the Brook
haven team of 1922. And. most of them
have, but there is a discordant note of
criticism, like the croak of frog with
influenza. Oh, well, some folks systems
are full of grunts and they have to
come out. 1t only makes the pean of
praise sound sweeter
Don't let anybody slip you the bunk
about this fellow Elkins not pitching
ball in the two games he hurled against
the locals. He was bending EN- over
like old Chief Bender himself, and he
had more steam than a locomotive. And
in all the IL strenuous innings of We'd
nesday's game this old bird was nick
ing the corners with most every pitch.
He didn't walk single man out Of the
forty-four to face him.
Castaing gets credit for tying the
score with a homer in the eighth, and
Weeks gets credit for winning the game
with single that brought in Fish from
second. All of which is very true, and
correct dope for the record books. But
lin the final analysis, it was the un-
shakable faith of those loyal little
lassies in the. grand stand whose well
come words of encouragement supplied
the needed incentive to make the play
ers exert themselves that won the
game.
A bunch of the Ocean Springs play
ers were eating down at their boarding
house Tuesday evening when one fell
low said Hey. you, don't eat with va

be uneasy about me-" replied the other
fellow, airily: "the' amt no danger Of

handle your knife" And he never un-
derstood the giggles that followed.

as the worst enemy of live stock in

The veteran hunter, who has killed
more than 200 bears during 25 years
