ONCE FAMOUS
CHICAGO BAR
NOW OWL CLUB
Newspaper Men, Ac-
tors and Poets Take
OUer Saloon.

Chicao, March 28.-The lights
that burned until 1 a. m. in the
famous bar at Chicago's Randolph
street rialto are burning again of
night but bar, mirrors and bottles
have been replaced by shelves of
books and theatrical folk and loop
hounds" are buying literature
where they once bought drinks.
An owl club of actors, poets,
writer's and newspaper men meets
nightly in the rejuvenated saloon,
whose doors again swing wide un-
til long after midnight.
Buy Books, Not Drinks.
The old-fashioned chorus girl
whose friend wouldn't buy her a
book because she already has one
apparently has disappeared, for the
most regular customers are drawn
from the nearby theatres. Chorus
girls, the booksellers say, specialize
in three kinds of literature-books
on fortune-telling, the better class
translations of the higher drama,
and neurotic fiction. After a mid
night supper following the show
the girls drop in, with their sup
per hosts, select a book or two and
the host pays the bill.

to check has spread to New York
women in many walks of life.
TaXicab drivers were beginning to
worry too, for fear their convey
ances might be ruled public
places" and banned as smokers for
fair fares enroute home from the
theatre-thus causing a switch to
the subway route.
Alderman McGuinness, father of
the ordinance that had a hectic life
from sundown to sunrise, was al
most the only New Yorker discov-
erable today who seemed to regret
it's passing
HyEan Is Pleased.
Chicago, March 2S-Mayor John
F. Hylan of New York, before re-
turning home at noon today, after
three days spent as Chicagos guest,
on being informed that Police Com
missioner Enright today had re-
scinded his order of yesterday pro-
hibiting women from smoking in
public, expressed satisfaction.
81 make it a policy in my admin
istration," the mayor commented,
never to interfere with the ladies
for they will do as they please
anyway"
Mayor Hylan said that until re-
porters informed him last night of
the smoking ban he had heard moth
ing of such a thing. He assumed
that Commissioner Enright was
correct in stating that no such ordi-
nance ever had been passed or
signed by the mayor.

NOTED 'SIAMESE
TWINS MAY DIE

Chicago. March 2S.-Josepfa and
Rosa Black, Czechoslovak twins,
joined together at birth, and known
as 1.-The Siamese twins" were in a
serious condition at a hospital to-
day, but physicians said an opera
ton to separate them was out Of
the question for it would mean the
death of both. If Josepfa dies, her
sister must die also, the physicians
say, in spite of all medical skill.
Josepfa was first taken i'll. To
day she was unconscious. The dis
ease also has spread to Rosa and
she lies in a semi-conscious state
Two physicians are attending them.
Rosa is a widow. She has a L.
year-old son, Frantz, who plays
about the hospital, unmindful of
fate's misfortune and the possibility
that he may lose his mother. He
is a bright boy, hospital attaches
say, perfect mentally and physi-
cally, they believe The sisters
were brought to this country for
exhibition purposes.
The Black sisters were in Rock
Island last summer. one of the
midway" attractions of a carnival
which appeared a week at the
Douglas park field. The boy was
with his mother during the engage
ment in this city.

WILSON WON'T
TALK POLITICS
BEFORE PUBLIC
Declines Palmer Ed
y7aunds' Bid to Dis
cuss Issues.

Chicago, March 28.-Former Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson has declined
to discuss current political issues in
response to an invitation to do so
sent by Palmer d. Edmunds, past
commander of a local post of the
American legion, and chairman OF
the service mems organization OF
the regular Democratic organiza-
ton. The former president in re-
plying to Mr.. Edmunds'. however,
makes the declaration of his belief
that we shall very soon indeed
wipe away the ugly record we made
in failing to fulfill the objects for
which our gallant men fought"
Praises Service Men.
Certainly service men above all
others are qualified to express their
devotion to the principles we be-
lieve in," the letter to Mr. Edmunds
says. 1T was for those very prin-
ciples that they offered their lives
For my own part 1 believe those
principles to be in themselves SO
powerful that no political blindness
or iniquity can defeat their tri-
umphs. 1 believe that triumph to
be Immediately at hand and that
we shall very soon indeed wipe
away the ugly record we made in
failing to fulfill the objects for
which our gallant comrades
fought"

ANOTHER MIXED
JURY LOCKED Up
Failing to Reach Verdict, Women,
Men Spend Night TOgethe9
in County Jail

St. Paul, Mimi, March 2S.-St.
PauPs third mixed jury forced to
spend a night in the same room in
the county jail because of failure
to reach a verdict was prepared to
resume deliberations this moraing
in the case brought by John Tos-
sine of Benton, ILL.,, who seeks $780,
900 damages from the Illinois Cen
tral railroad for loss of an arm.
Eight women and four men are
on the Tossine jury. They were
given the case late yesterday after
noon and after celebrating until
late last night without agreeing,
were locked up until morning, as
required by law.
Criticism which followed the
first two juries to be locked up
here had caused county off ticials to
make better arrangements for par
titioning of the jury room and last
night heavy curtains and high
screens were available for the Tos-
sine jury.

IOWA TOWNS
PICK WOMEN
AS MAYORS
Political Strength of Fair
Sex Stirs Entire
State.

Des Moines, Iowa. March 2S.-
(By the Associated Press. )-Activ-
ity of women in the political affairs
of Iowa towns and cities at yester-
days elections is believed to have
brought about election of two OF
their number as mayor, victory to
candidates they endorsed in other
towns, the defeat of Sunday motion
pictures at Ames and New Sharon,
and the routing of the towns pool
hall at Newmarket.
Mrs. C. ]. Young was elected
mayor of st. Charles by a small
majority. Mrs. Harry Steadman is
the new mayor of Calamus.
Voters at Charlotte, Mount Yer
non, and Lenox defeated women
candidates for mayor.
Women were elected to the city
council in several of Iowa's towns
and cities. In Des Moines Mrs.
Charles H. Morris led all other can
didates in the councilmanic race.
Municipal Bands Win.
Reports received from 10 cities
and towns show that nine were
willing to increase the tax levy by
two mills for the support of a mu-
nicipal band. Granville was the
only town reporting which voted
down the band proposition. Broscoe,
Iowa Falls, Gowrie, Council Bluffs,
Laurence, Corydon, Allison, En-
metsburg and Northwood voted to
support bands. Sunday movies fur
nished the chief issues in the last
two cities-Ames and New Sharon
both voted the proposition down
by meager majorities.
The pool hall will have no place
in Newmarket. The issue to permit
pool halls in the town was defeated
by heavy majority.
Women of the town were active in
defeating the candidate for mayor
who favored the pool hall.
Defeat Britt Mayor.
Britt, Iowa, March 2S.-This
town was furnished conclusive
proof yesterday that the feminine
vote must be reckoned with.
With only one ticket in the field
and that one hand picked by the
men, it looked like smooth sailing
until the women of the town, some
three hundred strong, stormed the
polls in the afternoon and wrote in
the name of H. c. Armstrong with
such frequency that he was elected
over H. c. Meyers, by margin of
go Meyers had been mayor for a
dozen years.

BIT OF
EVIDENCE IN
TRIAL TAKEN
Tex Stirs Laughter by De-
scription of Foot
ball Game.

New York, March 2s.-Evidence
in the Rickard rape trial was all
in at noon. Supreme Court Justice
Wasservogel told the jury he hop
ed to give them the case today
after both sides had summed up.
The defense indicated it was
through when cross-examination Of
Rickard ended.
The first touch of Ievity that has
marked the trial came while the
defendant ws-s being cross-examin-
ed regarding his alibi that he was
at the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
football game on Nov. II. at the
time when he was supposed to have
met Sarah Schoenfeld. He said twas
the only game Of football he had
ever seen and that he went to the
Polo grounds only to get the air.
Asked how the elevens lined up,
he answered that they just scat
tered around"
"What Kind of Kick-OffT
Did you see any kick-off?" he
was asked.
What kind of a kickoff? ?" ask
ed Rickard.
Asked to describe plays, he said
he had seen every one trying to
take the ball away from the man
who was running with it. He ad-
mitted later he did not know that
this was a violation of the rules.
He denied that he ever had gone to
a newspaper Office to talk with ".
S. Farnsworth, a sporting editor,
about him having seen him at the
Polo grounds. Farnsworth pFevi-
ously had testified to seeing Rick
ard at the game.
When the cross-examination
shifted to Richards business enter
prises, he admitted he had pro-
NOTED a number of oil and mining
companies that never had paid any
dividends. He also testified to hav-
ing tried to sell stock in the South
American Land and Cattle COM
pany. an organization which he
said had met with little success.

NON-UNION
MINERS To
Join STRIKE
Lewis De clares Large
Numbers Will Quit
April /.

Springfield, Ill, March 2S.-Non-
union coal miners in both anthra-
cite and bituminous fields will join
in large numbers with union min
ers in the c2al strike April l, John
L. Lewis, international president of
the United Mine Workers, predict
ed today.
In statement Mr.. Lewis said:
There is no change in the min
ing situation. My reports from all
sections OF the country indicate that
1.-The organized mine workers and a
great number of unorganized min
ers will cease work on April 1.
This will include the anthracite and
bituminous fields and is indicative
Of wonderful unity Of thought and
-eadfastness of purpose among
the mine workers OF the country.
The mine workers have no alterna
tive but to take this action. The
situation is forced upon them by
the arbitrary action of the coal op-
orators, and the American public
may well place the responsibility
where it properly belongs.
THE miners are fighting for a
living wage and the American
STANDARD of living and do not pro-
pose to compromise these princi
pies. They will enter the fight
standing upon this high moral
premise and with a deep convic-
ton that justice will be accorded
them in the end
Operators Meet Harrington.
Chicago, March 2S.-Illinois coal
operators were preparing today to
meet Frank Harrington, state min
ers' union president, and members
of the joint board in Chicago to-
morrow, to discuss the situation
connected with the impending coal
strike called for April /.
Whether the operators would pre-
sent any statement to the union
leaders still was undecided. AL
though it was generally conceded
that there was no chance to pre-
vent a suspension of work, the op-
orators were optimistic that some
thing of value might turn up at the
meeting. hey said they would in
sist on return to the 1919 wage
level, saying that Illinois coal
could not now compete with West
Virginia non-union mine coal, al
though the freight rate on the lat
teer is $1.41 a ton higher than on
coal shipped from southern Illinois
to Chicago.

Forbid NeaU York Women to
Smoke in Public--But IT'S
All q Mistake: LQaU Is Dead

New York, March 2S.-Police
Commissioner Enright today lifted
the ban on smoking by women in
public as suddenly as he clamped il
down last night when he learned
that Alderman McGuinness' anti
smoking ordinance had neger been
passed by the board of aldermen or
signed by Mayor Hylan.
News that it was all a mistake
came like reprieve from the gal
lows to proprietors of scores of
places where qualification of mi
lady's passion for the soothing
weed was the chief source Of bread
and butter revenues. Fashionable
smoke shops for women had sprung
up in Fifth avenue, Broadway and
other advanced centers, while
Greenwich village had come to de-
pend almost exclusively on smok-
ers to produce an atmosphere of
Bohemianism-since the passing of
the cup that cheers
Spread Gloom Everywhere.
But the ordinance making it a
crime for proprietors of public
places to let women Smoke-loosed
on a thunderstruck town last night
by squads of Commissioner En-
rights finest-did not stop with
spreading gloom in advanced places.
1t even had it's effect on down
town cafeteries where stenograph-
ers and women clerks foregather
for luncheon. For the smoking g
evil the ordinance was designed

Deslacs, N. D., March 28.-This
is the first town in the United
States to be entirely governed by
women. At an election held last
week eight married women were
swept-to use a household express
sion-into office. Today they point
ed with pride to the record of their
first "a hours at the reins of the
community government.
Among the first reforms they
have declared for is a nine o'clock
town. Any one who is caught roam
ing around hereafter at midnight
will be given a chance to get over
their high-falutin' ideas in the cal
aboose. No more will there be all
night poker gaiacs IL the back room
of the Commercial hotel. No more
will pocket flasks be tolerated. The
curb lizard is to have his walking
papers while the dip, the camel
walk and. the shimmy have had
"finis'' written for them inside the
boundaries of Deslacs. But that is
not all. Today the "city mothers"
brought down from the shelves the
musty statutes that in the past have
been entirely neglected by the men.
They are to be examined with the
utmost care. If there is anything
in them which will aid in making
Deslacs a place of heavenly rest the
women government is for it
