fore she can faster the intricate steps
upon which Russians give points. She
may have muscles which give her the
appearance of strong lady in the
circus and still tfascinate Russian
spectators if she can spin fast enough
on her toes and SHIFT heavyweight from
one big toe to the other at just the
moment prescribed in the rules.
At first a foreigner is inclined to
admire the beautiful young neo-
phytes who dance mazoursias, and
have all the charm which grace and
flowing white robes can impart to
youth dancing to the music of a SUI

utter ignorance. a
Gelser, the strongly featured player
of the Moscow circuit, recently fell
on the stage and had to beat a re-
treat before catcalls and howls which
made it impossibel for her to reap

fans are as merciless as the crowds
at Spanish bull-fight. There are no
excuses for failure. ~

in Cherokee county has served to re-
call here the story of the Lost Cher

of the later day Indian histories but
in varying accounts. Old time Cher
okees of this section have lately
brought forth what they declare is
the "only true account" of the Lost
Cherokees" ever given to the public.
These authorities say they obtained
their information from their grand
parents and insist that the version is
absolutely correct.
It happened back in 1898. their &C.

This created an extreme bitterness

has been wounded and shot, buried
alive and bombed, and carries II
wound stripes on her coat sleeve. is
now facing what she calls the tough
est job of all
That of proving to the world that
she is still alivei
And all this because, following the
bombing Of an emergency hospital in
the trenches at Chateau Thierry, she
was officially reported dead" in the
government war casualty records.
"A. +. F."-thats what the boys

her initials-headed for France two
months after. the United States en-
tered the war. She joined up with
the goth division as a member of the
United States Army Nurse Corps
Survives Hospital Blast
Then things began to happen rap
idly. Wound stripe after wound stripe
went on her sleeve.
At Tours a hospital was blown up.
All but two persons in the building
were killed. She was one of the two
In another case a piece of shrapnel
broke her finger, caromed and killed
a man.
Fourteen other wounds came. all
while she was on the front, and then
the fatal blast, when the trench hos
pital was blown to pieces. Killed in
action" was the report after her
name.
In the meantime American soldiers
dug her, out of the ruins and took
her to a hospital where she remained
unconscious for 81 days. A year and
eight months later she left the hos
pital and was sent to the Walter Reed
general hospital at Washington.
Miss Frawley's mother and her STEP
father had long believed her dead.
Several i1stallments of her war risk
insurance had been paid to the family.
Then came a telegram sta::ng tnar
Miss Frawley's body" was being sent
to the hospital.
Wondering why a body" would be
sent to hospital, the parents went
to Washington where they found Miss
F'rawley alive but feeble.
Shortly after Miss Frawley was
taken to San Antonio to recuperate IN
cottage just outside the military
reservation of Fort Sam Houston. AT
that time she weighed Sc pounds and
was able to walk only on crutches.
Today she weighs 162 and has dis
carded one of the crutches.
Fighting to Change Records
And, in the meantime, everything is
being done to blot out the record that
she was "killed jim action" Mrs.
Frawley has made affivadits that Miss
Frawley is her daughter and not an
imposter and the wheels are begun
ming to turn that will straighten out
the mixup, Miss Frawley believes.
Miss Frawley was born near Roch-
ester, N. Y. Her own father was a
doctor and her mother was a rraIneo

Frawley had served as a nurse in. the
Philippines. China, Hawaii and in

Methods; Woman Yields
Umbrella on Him

DR.. Haywood Hopkins, of New York
Hospital, who was called to the Public
Library last night when Pauline Mar
shall, Of Edgemere, L. L., became Ill
there, thought the young woman ought
to go co Che hospital for further treat
ment, and told her 80.
|. She demurred, and the ambulance
surgeon was arguing with her when
Mrs. Isabel Mayors, Of 583 Crown
Street, interrupted them to tell DR..
Hopkina he shouldn't be SO abrupt. He
was far from polite, Mrs. Mayors told
him.
DR.. Hopkins replied that he couldn't
spend the rest Of the night arguing, as
some one else might want the an1bu-
lance in a hurry, but If he could per-
suade his patient to 60 to the hospital,
he wished to do so. Mrs. Mayers's hus-
band, Jesse, rushed to her rescue at
this point. DR.. Hopkins ordered him
cut Of the room, pointing out that his
patient was half undressed.
Mayors declined to go, and DR.. Hop
kins put him cut. Mrs. Mayors, it is
alleged, came to her husbands assist
ance with an umbrella as weapon,
and a vigorous three-cornered fight was
in progress when Patrolman Brick, OF
the West Thirtieth Street police sta
tion, appeared and arrested the May
erses. The patient, in the mean time,
had dressed and departed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The Ad-

passed by an overwhelming vote the
week after election. Representative
Greene, chairman of the House COM

cries, declared to-day in statement to

ton. The Presidents letter to Floor

Senator Jones, chairman Of the
Senate Committee ON Commerce, de-
clared the merchant marine bill
should be passed and passed quickly if
it is to be of any benefit to our mer-
chant marine."s
Chairman Greene said the shipping
bill would have the right of way over
all other legislation when it comes up.

will give the bill the preference" he
added. "The members of my com

they will support it too. The mer-
chant marine question is bigger than
any party ard this bill has been drawn
for the interests of all the country.
Its provisions should appeal especially
to the producers in the South and
Middle West. It guarantees ample out
let's to foreign markets-just what they
have needed for many years.
"There will be some Democratic
opposition, of course. That is sure.
But am certain that those who are
so beneficial to all wiIFhear from their
constituents at the polls when the full
benefits of the bill are realized. It is
measure so carefully drawn that
every one in this country will get some
benefit from it and labor will derive
a large share by the increased activity
in our shipyards."
Discussing the legislative position of
the shipping bill Chairman Greene
said:
"a good many Of our people do not
realize just how important the Amer-
lean merchant marine is to them per-
sonally. The more the matter is dis
cussed the surer will be an increased
public demand for this bill. There
cannot be too much written and print
ed about it. The people in many dis
tricts are too much worried by the
coal and rail strikes, wondering about
their next winters supply of fuel for
their homes or factories and the NOV
ing of their crops, to take interest in
the merchant marine, which, is not 80
directly connected with their welfare.
I venture to say that once the strike
situation is cleared UP there will be
an eyer-increasing demand for infor-

Film Daredevil, Expecting
To BE Shot, Even Picked
the Pistol He Thought
His Enemy Would Use
Husband Gives Two
Versions OF Crime
Asserts Man Who Made
Attack on Wife Went
With Him to Fight Duel

John Bergen, professional daredevil
and motion picture actor, shot and
killed Friday night by George A. Cline,
lot man for the Fox Film Corporation,
in Cline's home in Edgewater, N. j., ac-
cepted Cline's invitation. knowing that
his life was In danger and knowing
even the pistol that Cline probably
would use.
He entered Cline's home in Under
cliff Avenue, It was learned last night,
with two notes in his pocket accusing
Cline Of his murder in case he should
be found dead. One, written appar-
entity some time ago, said that no
doubt "a German Lueger, caliber .25"
would be used. The other, simply to
the effect that George Cline killed
me-" is thought to have been written
after Bergen received Cline's telephone
message asking him to come to the
house.
Mystery Still Looms
Cline, it was learned. on the day that
he shot Bergen had taken steps to i'm
plicate the actor in case he should be
the victim of violence. Captain Dinan,
of the Edgewater police, recalled that
when he met Cline Friday morning in
front of Police Headquarters the mo-
tion picture man had stopped and said:
"I'ye had some trouble with that
factor, Bergen. If anything happens to
me or should be killed, look up John
Bergen" !.
That there was Ill feeling ebetween
No &L,&
cause Of it is about as far as the
authorities have got in their invests
cation Of the killing of John Bergen
in George Cline's home with q small
caliber German automatic pistol.
Cline has given two versions of the
affair, both of them involving his wife
as the source of the trouble, but vary
ing widely as to the details of the
shooting.
Tells Second Story
In giving his second version, which
was that he compelled Bergen to agree
to pistol duel in dark room. that
Bergen started to fire when he reached
up to. turn out the gas and that he
shot in self-defense, Cline asserted
that he must have been drunk when
he told his first story.
His tirst story was that they were
ON tnelr way upstairs to fight it out,
Bergen In advance, when the latter
turned and leveled the pistol Cline
had handed him. Cline, according to
his first story, rushed upstairs and
snatched the pistol from the actor,
who drew blackjack and was about
to fell him when he fired.
A blackjack was found in the Cline
home, but it is believed that Cline
owned the weapon. Mrs. Cline was on
the verge of hysteria all day. She
gave no coherent account of events
leading up to the shooting.
David Landau, driver of the taxicab
in which Bergen went to Cline's home
soon after 9 o'clock Friday evening told
the police that he had not waited five
minutes for his fare to come out again
when ne heard two shots. He was driv-
ing away, when Bergen came running
out Of the front door, and speeded up
his engine as the latter pursued him,
believing that he was robber. Bergen
fell near the ferry to 129th Street.
In both statements Cline asserted
that his wife told him Friday morning
