st. Helens, Orc. w. Emerson
eighty-two, a resident of st. Helens
for 40 years, and who said he was
a second cousin Of Ralph Waldo EN-

the post office in West ST. Helens and,
II is supposed, did not see the ap-
psoaching train bound for Astoria. AS
1t was passing over the highway cross,
ing about so feet from the depot, he
deliberately walked into the engine and
was struck by the piston head on the
left side of the locomotive. He was
thrown about u feet and died 20 min
utes after being picked up.

Theafer Afre, Patrons
Demand Refund to Le0Ue

New York.--A performance was In
progress at a vaudeville and motion
picture house In the lower East side,
when smoke began to drift across the
stage and into the audience. But in
stead of rushing for the exits ma
jority of the 1,2O0 persons in the au-
ditorium at first refused to leave the
building without assurance from the
management that the price of admis-
sion would be refunded.
Finally, as the theater manager ar
gued with the crowd from the stage
the smoke became so thick that the
spectators reluctantly abandoned the
demand for refund and fired through
doors and fire escapes to the street
The fire damaged the property room
and frst floor of the theater

court here has sentenced Alwine
Brusis, a French motion picture star,
to ten years in prison. the death sen

extreme penalty cannot be pronounced
In peace time.
Nine. Brusis, on the strength Of her
birth in Dusseldorf, returned to Ger
many and acted as a successful agent
in the French espionage service for
seven years during and since the war
Her arrest was due to her custom
of keeping a diary, which fell into
the hands of the German counter
espionage service. It was found that
the actress used her beauty to enlist
the services of susceptible officers and
students, who told her many military
secrets.

Praises Burrowins Rodents

There are 2,000,000000 mammals in
California. Half of these are burrow-
ing rodents, such as ground squirrels,
kangaroo rats and gophers, which give
farmers much trouble, says the At
lanta Constitution.
DR.. Joseph Grinnell Of the Univer-
sity Of California, however, has good
word to say for gophers and SUCH
Fossils show that they have been in
existence at least 2O0,0O0 years and he
has figured out on one tract of land
that in that time gophers have given
the soil the equivalent to 3,4o0 plow-
ings to a depth Of six inches. It is all
right to keep them off artifcially Gull

NetD Dance Club VIII
Haze an Ebony Floor

In a big dance club which is pro
jected the dance floor is to be of ebony
the first of its kind. 1t will be amaz-
ingly decorative. but its qualities for
dancing have yet to be tested.
The perfect dance floor is prob
lem. Engineers and timber experts
have produced some curiously complex
and original structures for bathrooms
In Britain and the United States, ac-
cordlng to the London Mail
The nearest approach to the Ideal
is laid in a London hotel 1t is made
up OF nearly 10000 small pieces Of
Balkan oak, seasoned for ten years,
and given resiliency, toughness and
imperviousness to atmospheric changes
by lengthy baking process.
Smoothness Of surface was attained
by pressing with electric irons, and
the necessary spring is impaired by a
suspension system involving the use of
thousands of steel springs and wires.
Although strong enough to bear $50
tons, its resiliency is retained, and
regular tuning" keeps Il sensitive.
Floors laid on rubber and felt are
comparatively common; but they have
many disadvantages. Thin floors laid
on a yielding foundation are very
pleasant to the dancers while they are
new, but they soon become worn In
patches and may even become splin-
terry.
Parquet floors, highly polished and
laid on a solid foundation, are very
firing after an hours dancing, al
though they are not so hard on the
feet and leg muscles as the marble
floors on which one dances in some
fashionable places along the Riviera
coast.

he was so bold as to serve notice
upon certain Chicago banks, it is said
that he was coming here to "gyp'
them.
"And he has," Norkett said. "Doz
ems of suits have been filed against
banks by depositors on account of his
activities. He is so clever that 1t is
almost impossible to obtain enough
evidence on which to prosecute him.
Never Appears at Bank.
"He never appears at bank. His
checks always have passed through
so many hands it is difficult to trace
them to their source.
"The gang has been working hand
In glove with bootleggers here. A
bootlegger gets a check from man
with a large bank account and Mo
shelk needs only a hasty glance at
the signature to duplicate it. Some
weeks ago he was being questioned at
the detective bureau, and to exhibit
his prowess with the pen looked at a
difficult signature for only three sec
onds. Two hours later he made a
forgery that experts pronounced gen
uine. But we couldn't get enough evil
dence at that time to prosecute"

men the police began a roundup of a
ring Of more than fifty bank swindlers
who are credited with having cashed
100000 worth of bogus checks in
some forty Chicago banks In the last
six months.
Aaron Moshelk, a twenty-four-year-

credited with being the leader OF the

According to detectives, young Mo

activities have come to the attention
of the police In a decade. Bank ex-

According to Norkett, Mosheik came

succeeded In passing 100000 worth Of
forged checks on Los Angeles banks.
