BUDAPEST, November 28.-Dr
Franz Sarga of the me against nine"
dueling saga today ran afoul of
police, who warned him to quit all
this shooting around where stray bull
lets might hit some one"
The police warning was the latest
complication to beset the diminutive
doctor in the campaign Of honor he
has been waging against practically
all corners for the sake ''of my wife
and our unborn baby"
Police were considerably exercised
when they learned that the first two
duels of the herr doctors series of
nine were fought only a few yards
from an important highway.
They decreed that such careless
ness must cease. DR.. Sarga, who was
not even perturbed by the thought o.
nine duels in a row, turned his at
tention to the current problem at
once and emerged with the solu-
ton.
DR.. Sarga's wedding to the grand
daughter Of wealthy Hungarian
banker brought on all his troubles
Friends Of the family accused the
little doctor Of marrying for money
He Immediately issued challenges un.
der the Hungarian code duello to al

Each OF the operations performed
thus far has been merely a step in

OSSNNG, N. Y, November 2s.-
There are more young men in the
Sing Sing death house tonight than
will be in q small town high school
graduating class next June.
Twenty-three men are there. nine
of them under 81. Each took human
life. Each, in the regular order Of
things, must die.
The death house. once considered
a lonely place apart, has come with
the Christmas season to be almost

When James Sullivan came to the
prison this week he found the eight
others who, like himself, are still too
young to vote-though old enough to
kill and to be killed.
Boy Murdered Merchant.
Sullivan is II. q school boy who
buldgeoned q merchant to death for
the paltry SO that was in the till.
At school in New York the kids
called him little Dillinger." He was
tough. A rowdy and a ruffian. there
was something of incongruity in the
cry that poured from the lips of a
woman who stood at the prison gates
as they led him in.
He Is only . child" the woman
cried.
That was his mother.
They've set January for the ex-
ecution. He won't be alone. Young
Wentworth Springer goes out that
night, too. He murdered storekeep-
er. like young Dillinger" did, and
he's only II.
Others Under 20.
Springer, Lawrence jackson and
Robert Taliaferro, we're together in
the storekeeper's murder. Jackson
has Just turned IS. Taliaferro is only
year older.
OF the five other "under-age" con-
demned men, two killed a bank pres
ident during q holdup and the others
were convicted Of homicides which had
money for their motives.
Even the prison uniforms, the prison
haircuts. the prison faces. could not
conceal the youth Of the death-house
inmates. Young Sullivan-"little Dill
linger"-noticed it at once.
