Quick SWindler

New York, Feb. 25.-Mrs. Dorothy
Atwood, listed by the district attor-
ney's Office as one of the lesser VIC
Tins Of Alfred E. Lindsay's alleged
dominic club" stock pool, declared
today she had run Mrs. Lillian N.
Duke, divorced wife of James B. Duke,
tobacco king" close race for hon
ors of chief goat" in the brokers op-
erations.
Instead Of the $4,000 she was re-
ported to have contributed to the pool

few other giants of Wall street were
going to make a big killing" in the
street, she put in $225,O00 in cash,
about $4,000 in jewelry and nearly
81, 900 in dogs. Mrs. Atwood said.
The missing broker, she declared,
carried off two of her pedigreed
Mexican dogs after he had got the
last of her ready cash. representing
he had found good sales for them.
He tried to borrow a third, she said,
but her suspicious had been aroused
and she kept the dog.
Mrs. Atwood has earned her liv-
ing since. by raising pedigreed dogs
something that was just a, hobby
before the suave Lindsay came into
her life. Mrs. Atwood said she had
first met Lindsay through Mrs. Duke,
who thought so we'll of him that she
entrusted more than s35o,000 to
him.
''He was the most convincing man
in the world" she said. "He
should have been a writer. He would
tell the most fabulous stories in a
a way that made one believe them
never questioned his honesty at
first because of having met him
through Mrs. Duke. He always act
cd very nice and talked big. Names
| OF big men were always on his
| lips
Finally. however. she began to sus-
pect him because his grammar wasn't
up to the Yale education he claimed,
! Mrs. Atwood said. and she had a wom-
an friends meet him. who immemdiate-
| ly warned her that he was mo good"
| The next day my friend 'phoned me
| that she had seen Lindsay at the AS

wearing the diamond lavalliere I had
| given him to invest in the domino
| club pool" she continued.
II was about to go to the district
attorney with my story at that time,
but he talked me out of it, saying If
he went to Jail I would never get
anything.
Don't kick a man when he is
down. he begged me, so l let the
! matter drop"
Mrs. Atwood laughed at reports
that Lindsay was too cautious to &C.
cept checks and that he always in
sisted on cash.
II have plenty Of checks endorsed
! by him." she said.

England Excited Over
Boxing Game Events

London, Feb. 11.-(By Mail).-
With four home champions ex-
pected to uphold their titles during
the coming two months, and the
prospect OF seeing Carpenter again
in a London ring, English enthusi-
asts are following the boxing game
closely.
George Cook. recently defeated by
Carpenter, returns to the ring or
March 81. meeting Joe Beckett. the
English champion, in a match Ia
belled the British Empire heavy
weight championship. 1t is expected
that this same bill will include a
bout between Joe Fox. the holder OF
the eather-weight belt. and the Bel
gian. Arthur Wyns. which has been
postponed from this month because
the former fell victim to the in
fluenza epidemic. Wyns has already
beaten one English featherweieht
champion. Mike Honeyman.
Boy Mccormick. who lost last
November to Ted Kid Lewis. the
middleweight holder well-known in
America. will meet Jack BLOOMFIELD Id
two weeks later to decide future pos
session Of the light heavyweight
belt. now held by Mccormick.
Lewis is also recovering from an
attack of the "flu" and is expected
to be in perfect condition for his
match with Carpenter which, &C
cording to present arrangements,
will be held here about the middle
of April.

OF the fact that the people of the
city were indebted to the members
of tho fire department, for the fact
that they were able to have the con-
cert in that building at that time.
After the intermission several more
beautiful numbers were played. Among
these two were especially noteworthy.
These were the suite. MY Lady's Bod
doir" and the Bells Of Normandy"
The former was a delicate piece in
which the strings and reeds predomi-
mated. The swing to these selections
was pleasing and smooth. The latter
was brilliant with rapid changes of
tempo which were done easily and
surely by the orchestra. Different In
struments carried the theme of the
piece for short intervals, and the
blending Of the theme with the ac-
compartment Of the orchestra was
striking.
Despite the fact that many people
were under the impression that the fire
Saturday in the hall would cause
change in the plans Of the orchestra
there was a large attendance Sunday
night. The seats on the main floor
were all taken and people were stand
ing about the hall, while the balcony
was taxed to the utmost. This fact
was Of course very pleasing to the
members Of the orchestra.
At the playing Of 1.-The Star Span
gled Banner" the usual number of peo-
pie in the audience left the hall in the
midst Of the music, to the distress Of
those in the audience who have a real
liking for music. 1t seems strange
that people will have so little regard
for the feelings Of others that they
will cause confusion by leaving during
|; the playing Of the national anthem.

British India

Lahore. British India. Feb. &c
The Prince of Wales arrived here
this afternoon. He received cor;
dial welcome from large crowds. not.
withstanding that Lahore has beer
considered storm center of unrest
For weeks past a hartal has beer
vigorously proclaimed, and the city
closed to Europeans as unsafe. The
question was asked whether it wa:
safe for the Prince of Wales to pay

Last week a great trade fair mys-
teriously sprang up and attracted
crowds of natives. Since the harta
did not forbid attendance upon fair
these crowds congregated to see the
glittering show of the princes entry
The hartal was completely ignored.
Lahore marks the eliminating

Explosion Due
to Criminal Act

Chicago. Feb. 25-A declaration
that the dynamite explosion which
rocked Chicago and suburbs last
night was the result of criminal
act was made today by r. NJ. Per-
bonner. assistant city fire marshal.
The explosion occurred at the Con-
sumers' Company's McCook quarry
near Argo, a suburb. The damage
caused was estimated at about
100000. There was little gelatine
in the powder and lack of gelatine
means that the powder would have
to be touched off," Mr.. PERFORMER
said.
f. W. Grear. resident manager of
the quarry, and L. H. Stewart, mas
ter mechanic, declared their belief
that shovelers who had failed to OBJ
tain employment were responsible for
the explosion.

Bitterness Increasing
Against Britain in India

London, Feb. 26-The serious con-
ditions of unrest in India are en-
phasized by correspondents Of the
London Times from various local
tiles in India They pay particular
attention to the growing hostilities of
the Sikhs.
The correspondent accompanying
the Prince of Wales in a dispatch
from Patiala last Friday says 1t is
notorious that the bitterness of the
Sikhs has been largely fermented by
Indians who have returned from
America without whom, long before
this, they might have been brought
to see the unreasonableness Of their
animosity."
He says that the Punjab, though
owing little allegiance to Mohandas
X. Gandhi, is the most greatly dis
turbed and most mutinously inclined
district of the whole country. The
extremists are showing rebellious-
ness under the restrictions OF the
resolutions of the national congress
held at Bardoli, calling for suspen-
sion Of civil disobedience and the
Khilifatist mobs may at any moment
become dangerous.
The correspondent at Allahabad.
telegraphing Friday. reports hostility
to the Europeans as being manifest
in towns and villages over large
areas in the United Provinces and in
Bihar. He adds that scarcely day
passes without reports Of riots.

College Association
Puts Over Action
on Professionalism

Inc HleInDCTS OF the Maine Inter-
collegiate Track and Field Associa-
ton met Saturday morning at the
Elmwood hotel to elect q new slate
OF officers for the coming year and
to discuss professionalism in college
athletics. The men who make up
this association are the track
coaches and the track managers Of
the four Maine colleges. Meetings
are held several times during the
college year in order that plans and
rules OF the Maine intercollegiate,
track meets may be clearly under
stood by each Of the colleges.
At the present time professional
ism Is a widely discussed subject in
the college world and by all those
who are interested in college ath-
letics. The day is past when 'ring-
ers." as the men who are hired to
play on the college teams are called,
can participate in college sports. 1t
is difficult to draw the line where
the term professionalism applies and
where amateurism begins. Professor
g. Harry Edwards. athletic director
of Colby college said in a speech at
the Colby chapel exercises the other
morning that the men who play
baseball during the summer on the
various mill teams of the State
should be classed as professional and
that any amateur that goes out and
referees a basketball game for mon
ey becomes n professional. Professor
Edwards said that an amateur ath-
lete was hard to define but to the
best OF his knowledge an amateur
was one who competed only for the
love of sport.
Throughout the United States a
professional for college athletics.
Meetings arc being held in many of
the colleges and several college presi-
dents have expressed their views on
the subject. At the meeting held in
the Elmwood a long discussion was
had but no definite conclusions were
arrived at on account Of the serious
ness of the question. The meeting
lasted until nearly three o'clock and
before the close it was decided to
bring up the question again at the
next meeting 10 De nciu OH MaICIl
Is in Watervlle.
Those who were present at the
meeting were as follows: From
Bowdoin, Coach John j. Magee.
Manager D. j. Eames, and Virgil G..
McGorril. manager of last year and
retiring president Of the association;
from Bates. Coach c. A. jenkins, and

shot and killed tonight by Sebastiano
Garafola, 80, notorious bad man and

ents warned him to stay away, and
so did Angelo. Several weeks age
Angelo drove the unwelcome lover
away, backing his eyes in a fist fight
There had been bad blood. between
the two ever since.
This evening. after being driven ont
Of the grocery by Mrs. Annalora, the
gunman flew into a rage, and meeting
Angelo in the street fired shot at
him which went wild. Angelo leaped
at his assailant who turned and ran.
A short distance down the street,
Garafola turned and shot his pursuer
down.
Meanwhile Patrolmen Patrick ].
Barry and Thomas F. O'Brien, hearing
the shots and seeing the man fall, came
up at full tilt. Garafola coolly fired
four more shots into Angeles body
before starting to run. One of the po-
licemen fired a shot over the fugi-
tive's head. but instead OF stopping he
turned. pointing his revolver at them.
Both officers fired at once and Cara
fola, dropped
