SHAKESPEARE'S
WILL RECALLED
ON BIRTHDAY

LONDON, April 23 lP)-Shakespeare's
birthday anniversary today finds the
last will and testament of the great
dramatist gradually being crowded
out of IT'S resting place by the more
prosaic and less romantic vital
statistics.
For nearly three-quarters of a
century the final testament of the
bard has been kept in vault in
Somerset House, London, where all
deaths, births, marriages and wills
are recorded, but space has become
limited and on this account the
priceless document must be moved
to other quarters.
Just what disposition is to be made
of the will-dated March 25, 1916,
less than a month prior to his death
has not been determined. One pro-
posal is to transfer it to a place in
the British museum, where it would
be on view to the public for all
time. AS it is now, the testament

payment of shilling.

House are supposed to be confined

documents. Because of the constant

Dewey Hunter, whose name was
a household word among Douglas
baseball fans few years ago, is
with the United States army forces
in Tientsin, China, ready to go into
action to prevent the loss ofeAmerican
lives in the Mongolian empire.
Hunter, who played first base with
the Douglas baseball team UP until
1922, is a member of Company K
of the Fifteenth United States
infantry
He is the son of John L. Hunter,
conductor on the Southern Pacific
railroad. The elder Hunter, like his
son, is well known here and runs
through Douglas Frank w. Hunter

IF the ball is knocked or thrown
anywhere in the county, Dewey will
get it." That used to be the adage
heard in Douglas when Hunter was
holding down the first cushion on
the local team in the days of Manager
Skid" Williams.
Hunters batting and fielding pulled
many a seemingly hopeless game
out of the lost and back into the
win column and he. is still playing
the game as of old and setting ur
records in other sports as WELL ac-
cording to clippings received by his
father.
Hunter suddenly left Douglas in

solved for some time and then word
came back that he had Joined Uncle
Sans forces and was stationed in
China. He has been there for some
time.

held in the French arsenal, in which
representatives from several other
