Norris G'asel was shot on Saturday

afterward. He was afraigned yester-

Trouble between the brothers is said
to have started when the will of their

$4,000 of her 100000 estate to Leopold
Glasel, dividing the remainder between
Morris and his sister, Mrs. Lillian

The Young Fox Is Impudent
By Thornton w. BURGESS
By impudence is nothing aoon,
And only harm is ever done.
-Prickly Porky.

The young Fox who had refused
TO go back and join his family had
now to make his own way in the
Great Wor d. There was no one but
himself to depend on. There was no
one to tell him what to do. But he
wasn't afraid. The fact is he wanted
to be alone. When he thought of
his brother and sisters he rather
pl I'D them because hey were not as
independent as he was. You see. he
dldn know that they, too, were eager
to be out in the Great World for
themselves and were about ready to
leave home.
HIS sad experience with one of
jimmy Skunks children had made
the young Fox very careful. He had
learned his lesson we'll. He really
hadn't needed his mothers advice
never to medd.e with things he didn't
Know about. Whenever he found
anything new and strange he made
II his business TO find out all about
H. or at least as much as he could
before venturing near. He used his
eyes and his ears and his nose as
they were intended to be used and
so he made few mistakes.
But even the wisest of Foxes will
once IN while forget or will make n
mistake. SO perhaps it is not To be
wondered at that the young Fox did
occasionally forget. One of these
times was on the day that he made
his first visit alone TO the Green
crest
He was trotting along down the
Lone Little Path when lis sharp ears
caught new and strange sound In
stantly the young Fox stopped. He
stood perfectly still, with his two
sharp little black ears pointed for
ward that he might hear better. That
strange sound was unlike an thing he
aad ever heard. II came from tree
just a head of him. Presently his ewes
opened very wide. very wide, indeed.
Coming down the trunk of that tree
backward was the oueerest fellow
he ever haG seen. He hadn't sun-

IN al the Great World. He was big,
much bigger than the young Fox ana

young Fox was the queerest kind Of

Valentino Paid OlUn TOreador
Out of 81, $50 Weekly Salary
Screen Star, Attempting to Break Contract il
Court, Also Says He Was Forced to Send
Wife Away From Hollywood

Justice Wasservogel, of the Supreme
Court, has before him to-day for de-
cision the controversy between the
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation,
and Rodolph Valentino, over the con-
tract of the motion picture star, who,
it is alleged, is trying to break 1t and
take employment elsewhere.
Men and women crowded the court
room yesterday and stared at the light
haired Italian screen star. Valentino
didn't look like the Sheik, nor like the
tango dancer in the -Four Horsemen,"
Tor like the toreador in Blood and
Sand,' picture productions that have
made him famous enough to be re-
strained from leaving his job. In fact
there was only one thing in the appear
ance OF this $1,250-a-week actor that
distinguished him from the lawyers
and spectators with whom he sat, close
to the counsel table, and made it easy
for persons to point him out to the
curious, who wanted to know which he
was. He wore straw hat yesterday
the 18th of September. And having
located Valentino in the courtroom, it
was just as easy to locate Mrs. VAL
entino, who was Miss Hudnut and
married the actor few months ago,
for she sat few rows behind him, and
every lit while during the proceed
ings, Valentino would turn to face his
wife and was repaid with smile.
No Star Dressing Room
The burden of the argument made in
behalf of the screen actor by Arthur
Graham, his attorney, to show why VAL
entino was justified in leaving the en-
ploy of the Famous Players-Lasky Cor
poration was that he was not treated
just as star of the screen should
be treated. For instance, the dressing
room allotted to him out in the Fl v
wood studio was the same sort that was
used ~ minor members II tne C. nj
pany. Then, also, it was stated, that

lives of 1000 passengers were endan-
gered. Two persons were injured.
The Bound Brook was en- route to
Jersey City and the Crawford heading
for New York. The crash is said to
have been due to jamming OF steering
gear after passing signals had been
given. The lower deck cabin of the
Crawford was ripped away thirty feet
back from the bow on her starboard
side. About twenty feet of the upper
deck and superstructure of the Bound
Brook were swept away. Both vessels
procee ded to the ferry slips at Com
munipaw Avenue, Jersey City, under
their own steam.
When collision appeared imminent
many passengers rushed to the opposite
rails and heeled the boats so that they
were handled with difficulty. When the
hulls came together members of the
crew. struggled with passengers, who
were trying to leap into the river.
