TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Oct. 8, 1924 negro born a slave
died at SO ruler of a free and indie:
pendent nation, having carved for
himself a career far more significant
than that suggested by the play his
life inspired Eugene O'Neills 1.-THE
Emperor JONES'" He was Henri Christ
ophe, who when 80 won the freedom
of Haiti from the French by defeat
ing crack legions of the white Ma
poleon.
He tried to assure the preservation
of independence by constructing the
mighty fortress of the western world,
La Ferriere, upon a mountain top g.
600 feet above his capital, Sans Souci.
To the writer, who has climbed to
it and flown over it in a plane, it
seemed a monument as great as any
of the wonders that were raised by
the Pharoahs. Every stone for its
140-foot wall was carried up the steep
treacherous mountain side upon the
backs of $4,000 men who toiled upon
the citadel for many months, 10000
are declared to have been killed in
the project, by sunstroke, mosquitoes
and physical exhaustion.
The citadel was one of Christophe's
WPA projects. He provided jobs for
everyone and forced everyone to work
IA hours a day; he constructed roads,
opened schools, promoted agriculture
and trade, and made the country
prosperous.
The fruits of prosperity he did not
distribute widely enough among the
Dukes of Lemonade, Marmalade, etc.,
whom he created, and they schemed
to supplant HIM. Christophe did not
become vulnerable until a stroke of
paralysis for which witch-doctors
claimed credit, showed the ignorant
followers of his rivals he was not the
god he told them he was. Then, as a
mob gathered at the doors of his pal
ace, he had himself bathed and dress
ed in his finest, he took a gun in
each hand, fired both, killing himself.

Hungry Fighter
Proves Best

Tex Richards contention a hun
CRY fighter is the best was never
better emphasized than in the case
of frankie Dutch Weimer, Cali
fornian, who boxes Clarence Red
Burman, Jack Dempsey's protege,
in a 10-rounder at Griffith Sta
dium Monday night.
A year ago Wefmer and his
manager, Ernie Lewis, started East
via automobile. Several accidents
en- route stripped them financially
and they landed in Detroit flat
broke after going without food for
"a hours.
Invading the offices of Scotty
Montieth, Detroit matchmaker,
Weimer insisted he would fight
anyone selected for him for any
payment Montieth deemed fair.
Weimer was substituted as an op-
ponent for Bob Olin, then light
heavyweight king, in a nontitle
bout. Weimer surprised everyone
by outpointing Olin.

Shot Put Ace
Is sSensatiOn
On Track

The biggest man in track today,
or perhaps it would be better to
say, in athletics, is Jack Torrance,
the Bayou giant from Louisiana,
who toSses the 16-pound shot
around as though it were a golf
ball, eats a meal that would make
Henry VIII think he was on a diet,
moves with the speed of an alley
cat and breaks records with aban-
don.
More than any other athlete. he
is a sure fire bet to take the Olym-
pic shot put crown. This year he
has tossed the iron ball 54 feet l "a
inches, which is decidedly better
than the Olympic record eStab-
lished by another giant, Leo Sex
ton, in 1882. Sexton heaved the
heavy shot So feet 6 3-16 inches at
Los Angeles.
Tips Scales at S17
Torrence lacks the physical SYM
metry and grace of movement that
characterized Sexton's work in the
seven-foot circle. Some observers
think the colossus of the South
probably doesn't merit all the
praise that has been heaped upon
him by admiring track fans, be-
cause he tips the scales at BIZ
pounds, stands we'll over six feet,
and is one of the strongest men IN
the world today. Yet he has sent
the shot flying across 81 feet 7-32
inches, to establish the world re-
cord, and has repeatedly shown
himself to be the best man in his
field.
Adept in Three Events
Ideally equipped for the sport
in which he has chosen to Spe-
cialize, Torrance is adept at toss
ing the discus, throwing the So
pound weight, and even at short
distance running. Possessed OF
legs which resemble oak trees,
Herculean arms, a tremendous
chest and a good competitive
spirit, he is the realization of
every coach'S dream. Form, OF
course, is of the essence in the
delicately coordinated business OF
getting distance with the shot, but
beef, muscle and Drawn are equal
ly important.
No athlete, regardless of his
technic, could hope to toss the
heavy shot beyond so feet, unless
he weighed 200 pounds or more.
There have been remarkable shot |
putters in the last two decades,
but all of the leaders were well
equipped with muscular aVoirdu-
poiS.
Good FOotbaIler
Torrance, who played bang-up
football game for Capt. Biff Jones
a few seasons ago, had a terrific
line charge that fairly crushed the
opposing forwards. Biff used to
say that if Torrance had a vicious
nature and really wanted to use
his incredible strength, he could
have beer one of the foremost
nnemen of all tim1.
AS it was, he made hi presence
felt and distinguished himself ad-
mirably on the field. Faster than
men half his size, he was first |
down the field under kicks, and
was a devitalizing blocker.

NOW IT'S PASSED,
MAKE 1T STICK.

Both the senate and the house have
approved an extension until May l, 1887,
of temporary neutrality legislation BAN
ming arms shipments and loans to bel
ligerent nations The law embargoes
shipments of war implements from this
country, prohibits use of American YES
sells for arms shipments, withdraws of
fetal protection from Americans travel
ing on belligerent ships, bans loans and
credits to belligerent nations, and in
creases penalties for violation. 1t lays
the foundation for later, permanent neu-
trality legislation.
Temporary or permanent, 1t is the
law. The thing now is to make it stick.
There have been laws before this which
were circumvented. This should not be
in such a category. This country does
not want to become embroiled in war.
Unless the United States is attacked, 1t
probably will not be. Entanglements
through trade, however, are potent weap-
ons in the hand of Mars when he breWs
new conflicts. Anything the American
people can do to avoid such entangle-
ments is the right thing
