ANGRY STATE SENATOR SAYS
HE Will KILL HEAD-SAWYER
Mike Boylan Threatens by Wire from Virginia to
Bump Off John L. Morrison if Solon's
Name Is Mentioned in Rip-Saw.

State senator Mike Boylan, un.
terrified statesman of the Queen
| City of the North, threatens to turn
from law-maker to law-breaker by
numbering John L. Morrison, editor
of the Rip-saw.
OF course the threat wasSmade
| with a distance of about seventy
! miles between the blood-thirsty
! Milesian and the old editor but
what's seventy miles when Senator
Mike gets peeved over politics?
Boylan set about it some months
ago to put George H. Lommen
across for the lower house of state
legislation. Partly in earnest and
partly in jest, the Rip-saw inter-
fered with Mickie Boylan's preten-
tious political plans.
Boylan then tried to put the Rip
saw and the Old Head-sawyer out
of business by acting as spiritual
adviser for The Duluth Manure
ISpreader, journal of spite and
degeneracy conducted by Drunken
Bum Edwards and the Sneaky Lap
lander, a couple of journalistic buzz
yards.
When Senator Mixes threat to
revive Boylan's Baby Rip-saw did
not scare Morrison and his Rip-saw
off the map, the temperamental
Solon became desperate. Last Tues
| day afternoon he was in such a
state of mind that he swore by all
| the gods of warsthat ne Woaad ei1l
the object OF his displeasure, the
Old .Head-sawyer OF the Daluth Rip
fsaw. -.
Not only was the wild man of the
hinterland seventy miles distant,
! but he qualified his blood-thirsty
threat by saying that he would bump
off the editor of the Great Family
Journal if the illustrious name of
Boylan ever appeared in the paper
again.
The Old Head-sawyer was work
Ting away in his journalistic saw
mill, last Tuesday afternoon, pre-
pairing for another run on political
dead-heads, when he was summoned
| " thO lClCpuOuO Wy d lOuS ulSlduCc
call from Virginia.
Putting his best ear to the tele-
phone, the Old Head-sawyer felt a
thrill of surprise and delight when
he was informed that State Senator
Michael Joseph Boylan was at the
Virginia end Of the wire.
care yez there, Morrison?" came
the query.
"Sure, Mike" replied Morrison.
II wish to inform you," then
stated the Queen City statesman,
that I'll kill you if you ever men
tion my name again in your dirty,
damnable sheet"
whats the matter, Mike? Are
you drunk?" Morrison asked.
"No, I'm not drunk. I am here
in my home with my wife and three
children. 1 wish to repeat that I'll
, kill you if you ever mention my
name in your paper again." -
do you mean to tell me, Mike,
that good churchman like your
self will damn your own soul by
numbering me?" the Old Head-saw-
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1924-10-25

yer then asked the jealous follower
of st. Patrick, St. Bacchus, st.
Gambrinus, the Bitulithic Bunch
and Messrs. Brooks-C Coleman.
Senator Mike Boylan, his voice
trembling with rage, emphatically
repeated that he would bump off
the Ola Head-sawyer If he dared to
even mention the noble Boylan name
again In the columns of the Great
Family Journal.
'Do you mean to tell me-" con.
tinued Morrison, "that I will be
compelled to shoot you on sight to
protect my own life?"
II mean to tell you that I'll kill
you If you ever put my name in
your paper again." shrieked the
seemingly frenzied Solon over the
long distance wire between poor old
Duluth and dear old Virginia.
'Let me tell you something, Boy
LAM" Morrison then informed the
Queen City senator. "You may have
successfully biilldozed the people of
Virginia for man, years and made
a success of 1t, But you cannot
bulldoze me and the Rip-saw. Tire
best thing you, can do is to mind
your own business and let me run
mine"
Senator Mike Boylan then COM
menced to blather in way that
made the telephone vibrate like q
piano in the hands of Paderewski.
It was impossible to- understand
Iehat the poor mn ~ was sayfng and
! 1t was Just as 'rapossible to get in
a word edgewise. ....----.Ss'4,-.-'
"You better ring off and save
telephone tolls" Morrison suggested
before he hung up. You may need
the money before the winter is
oyer"
r The Great Family Journal is
rather sorry to violate Bro. Boy1an's
orders not to mention his name in
the Rip-saw again, but news is news
in. the Rip-saw office. The editor
was wondering what he could use
for this weeks headline when his
dear old friend Boylan furnished
it with his murder threat.
If Mickie Boylan, that tempera-
mental descendent of noble Irish
kings, comes helling around the Rip
saw office, the Old Head-sawyer may
deem it a painful necessity to take
the senator across the editorial knee
and give him a good spanking.
After that, the Old Head-sawyer will
hope to celebrate a treaty of peace
by buying few big ice-cream sodas
and taking his would-be murderer
to movie show to see Valentino
stick his stabber through the giz-
yards of lot of Bad Men from
Bitter Creek.
The trouble with Sen. Boylan Is
that he has been throwing dead
cats into the yards Of his neighbors
in Virginia for many years and get
ting away with it. 1t is more than
his sensitive soul can stand to have
anyone play the same game on him.
1t is impossible for Bro. Boylan
and The Duluth Manure-Spreader
to run the Rip-saw out of business
and murder means life imprison-
ment in Minnesota. Why not let US
love one another, Bro. Boylan?

GEN. CROZIER
HAS CLAIM
TO FAME
Is Only Living Delegate
to First Hague
Conference
BY JEAN ELIOT.

UEITH the talk Of possible
wv peace conferences or linn
itatiOn of armament con.
fefences in the air, It Isl interesting
to- know. that, in .Brigadier General
William Crozier Washington can lay
claim to the only surviving Ameri-
can delegate to the first Hague
conference, called by the car Of
Russia in 1889. which was. in fact
the first international congress to
promote peace. in the worlds his
tory.
An old Indian fighter, the inven-
tor-with General Buffington-of a
disappearing gun carriage, and Of a.
wire gun, General Crozler may he
regarded as an authority Of the
making of war, as well as the max
Ing OF peace. He Is, moreover, q
man who has had much foreign
Service-he was chief ordnance Off
Ger of the Picking relief expedition
in 1900-who has travelled extern
Gively and who has a. fund OF in
toresting experiences He was mar
rted rather late in life to Miss May
Williams, daughter of Mrs. Norman
Williams, and together they have
pursued still further adventures in
the far places of the earth.
Indeed, it was only q few months
ago that they returned to town
after devoting q year or more to a
leisurely trip around the world, loaf
ing for weeks in India and China
and accommodating delightful memo,
r1es AZ well as many lovely exam
pies Of Eastern art. Their house in
Massachusetts, avenue is undergo
ing extensive remodeling and while
1t is torn up they are temporarily
established at Wardman Park Ho-
tel. But even in Their temporary
home they have many lovely things
about them and there is one room
given over to Chinese and Indian
things, marvellous embroideries, gold
leaf screens, cloissone and the like,
which are a treat to the connois-
sour.

Regime; Hay, Secretary OF State.
All this, however, seems to be a
far cry from The Hague and the
first peace conference. The general
may occasionally be persuaded to
become reminiscent about it, and
one discovers then that Seth Low
and Andrew d. White, some time
president Of Cornell University, were
also members of the delegation,
with Captain Mahan, the famous
naval expert. The conference WAS
held in McKinley's Administration
while John Hay was Secretary Of
State and Alger, Secretary Of War.
The latter, however, was succeeded
by Elihu Root while the conference
was in progress.
If I remember correctly, General
Crozier was one of three bachelors,
the others being Speaker Gillett
and former Justice Moody, of the
Supreme Court, who made their
home together in the Washington
Of fifteen or twenty years ago, and
who were regarded as the most
sought after men in Washington.
It was said that they received more
invitations to dine than anyone else
in society, and bids to the parties
they gave were in great demand.
