fine LECTURE ON
ASTR0N OMY BY
W. H. BRADLEY

The Bible lecture course at Tulane
theatre was resumed last night by
w. II. Bradley who has been giving
n series of highly interesting dis
courses, with brief interruption Oc
casIoned bv the Christmas holiday.
Last night 5 lecture was the fourth
one on astronomy and showed how
that science is confirmed by Bible
truths. Aided by vivid pictures of
the skies thrown on a screen Mr..
Bradley took his hearers through the
realms of infinite space and thrilled
them with the wonders of creation.
He proved himself to be a literal
and most skillful "sky pilot
The deduction drawn from the
journey among the planets, moons,
suns and stars was that the precision
with which they move through space
without conflict or collision has its
counterpart in human life when
Gods perfect moral laws are as i'm
plIcitly obeyed. These lectures will
continue every night indefinitely.
Mr.. Campbell, the singing evangc-
list, rendered two sacred solos in
an excellent manner, accompanying
himself on the piano.

Among the documents, Clarke in.

cation and publication of the Klan.
Elrod said that after seyen years
of Clarke control, the Klan had
only attained n membership of
100000 but since Clarke had retir-
ed as head the Klan had grown
so fast that in November it was
increasing at the rate of 10000 n
week.
Elrod accused Clarke of having
for months been engaged in an at

What Is Wrong
With Wager,
Question

Wallace Joscphson wager has
something radically wrong with
him, according 10 the police, but
just what it is, they are unable
to figure out. Wager is now in
the county Jail, pending de-
cision on his case.
Wager broke into the home of
Edgar Nance on Brighton street
last night, and called up the
sheriff s office to report that
there was Il burglar in the
house. Deputy sheriffs respond
ed to the call and found wager.
When searched, he had num-
Der of bundles neatly tied up
on his person. Upon examina
tion, they were found to con-
tain pieces of newspaper, neat
ly folded up.
The city police picked Wager
W some time ago and housed
him in the city Jail, where he
proceeded 70 tear up blankets,
destroy furniture and attempt
ed to burn the Jail. He was
committed to the county farm
and later examined in the super
ior court, 10 determine his sani.
ty. The court decided him to
be sane and he was released.
He was then ordered to leave .
the city, and nothing further
was heard from him until last
night s escapade.
Nothing was reported stolen
at the Nance home. The police
and the sheriff s office are IN
clined to believe that Wager is
sane, but is feigning insanity
in order to obtain a comfortable
home dur:ng The winter.

Mrs. Bridger Hahn today sought to
collect $1,000,000 libel damages from
the Famous Players Lasky Corpora
ton and the Paramount Pictures
Corporation for alleged misrepresen-
tation of the character of her fdthef
in "The Covered Wagon. +"
Mrs. Hahn. the only surviving

clared the representation of Bridger
in the picture brings disgrace to
her name and raises question of
her parentage.
In the picture Bridger is repre-

two Indian women as wives.
Many records presented with the
suit for damages uphold Mrs. Hahn s
contention that her father was an up
right, temperate and industrious
man.
Mrs. Hahn contends her father was
married but once-to a full blOoded
