ALMOST EXTREME EDO OFJHE LIMIT Doctor Resigns From Art Society Because Riley's Poem Is Recited.

IT MENTIONS TOBACCO Not Only Once, but Four Times, Says Crusader Against Weed-awful! When my truant fancy wanders with that old sweetheart of mine. can nee the pink sunbonnct and the littlo checkered dress She wore when I first kissed her and he answered the caress, With the written declaration that "as surely as the vine Grew 'round the stump" sho loved me that old sweetheart of mine. Hut, ah! My dream is broken by a step uKn the stair. And the door Is opened softly ray wife is standing there; Yet with eagerness and rapture all my visions I resign To greet the living presence of that ' old sweetheart of mine. New York. April 22. TheBC lines by James Whitcomb Riley, now dying in Indianapolis, were recited by an eleven year old girl at the International Art Society's entertainment in the Hotel Astor. ' The society's president is Mrs. J. Christopher Marks of No. 154 East Forty-Sixth street, wife of the organist of the Church of the Heavenly Kent. Mrs. Marks had organized a children's branch of her society. The entertainment was planned to show the parent society how well the youngsters were getting on. Little Aline L. MacMahon of No. 1565 Fortyeighth street, Brooklyn, recited several Riley poems, including "That Old Sweetheart dr. Mine." Mrs. Marks was astounded to receive a letter from Dr. Charles G. I'ease of No. 101 West Seventy Second street, who has conducted crusades against the use of tobacco. The doctor did not like a poem that "lauded tobacco" and represented a revery aroused by tobacco." So the letter contained his resignation from the society. He said that the poem. In which "tho opium of the west," tobacco, was presented in "a most voluptous and seductive way," and was not fit even for a fourth rate concert hall and its reading by a precocious child before children, some of very tender yearsj "constituted a crime against the human family and a sin before God." "The society," he continued, "that popuarizes the use of, liquors or tobacco is a menace to the race, and if It does it in the guise of art and music it is still a greater favtor for evil." Mrs. Marks expressed herself freely. "The letter is not only an insult to me," she said, "but is an insult to a great poet. Some of the best known musicians in the city belong to our society. My husband Is a church organist and he certainly would not countenance anything wrong. Recently Dr. Tease came to me and wanted me to hang placards all over the ballToom of the Astor, forbidding smoking, as he does with some other societies. "I said to him, 'Doctor, we do not Deed such signs. None here would think of smoking in the ballroom. This 1b not Second avenue. You might need youf signs there.' "Dr. Tease threatened to resign If 1 did not consent to his hanging up those placards. There was a recep tion In my home one day, and Dr. .I'ease was shown to a room. Tipes belonging to my son were on a shelf. ;l)r. Tease hid all the pipes so that they could not be found." "I did not hide any pipes," said Dr. Tease in his home, "unless laying n leaflet against the use of tobacco over them can be called hiding them." "To what do you object in Riley's poem ?" the doctor was asked. "It mentions tobacco four times distinctly, and It Is supposed to be the dream of a smoker." "How was the performance, 'scduc' live' and 'voluptous?'" "Well, the little girl threw her arms over her head and there was an expression of Infinite bliss upon her face when she spoke of the delights of tobacco. No wonder our women are becoming degraded when our children are permitted to conduct themselves so." MASONIC CALENDAR Tuesday, April 25, 1911. Richmond Ixnlge No. 196. F. & A. M.

NOTED BANDIT TO GET HIS FREEDOM Chris Evans, "Jesse James of 'California" to Be Released May First.

Ameri. a News, Service) Portland. Ore.. April 22. There will be a happy woman in Portland on May Day, for then her father. Chris Evans, will be frred from Folsom penitentiary. Cal. The name Chris Evans does not mean much to eople nowadays, but in the late eighties and up to 1S93, it was to Tulare, Fresno and King counties, Cal., what Jesse James was to Liberty and Clay counties, Missouri, a few years earlier. To his daughter, Eva, who lives in Portland, must be credited his forthcoming pardon from prison. This has been the object of her every effort since her father, led by his love for her, stumbled Into a trap set around her hogse by deputy sheriffs, after the ; bandit had successfully "stood off" one ! sheriff's posse after another for al- ; most a year in the fastnesses of the ' Sierras. j Evans and the Sontags were train robbers and operated for years on the j Southern Pacific. George Sontag us-, ually rode on the trains w hile Chris j Evans and John Sontag boarded the j engine and dynamited the express cars. They stole only from the railroad and the express company. Final-1 ly, after years of effort on the part of j the authorities and the expenditure of . many thousands, George Sontag's bold-; ress led to the bandit's downfall and j broke up the gang. With a big price set upon his head, Evans fled to the i mountains and for a long time evaded capture. He Is now almost 70 years old and Is practically helpless. He is partly paralyzed and whenthe news of his coming release -was made known to him, he broke down and wept for joy. His daughter is equally happy over their good fortune. For years, she has besought the authorities to release her father, but governor after governor , has refused. She has traveled all over California getting signatures to voluminous petitions asking for his pardon. When Evans leaves Folsom prison, he will come to Portland where he will spend the remaindor of his days with his family. KNOCKED OUT BY A WOMAN. Last Monday Mrs. John Hogan, an Ohio woman, did her washing In two hours a job that had always taken the whole morning. But this time she took the advice of several friends aud used Hewitt's Easy Task Soap, which does the hard part of the work and docs it in half the time required by the old fashioned boiling and rubbing methods. Five cents a cake. A 'popular vote on the question: "Are you In favor of the death penalty?" conducted by a Parisian paper, resulted three to one in favor of "yes."

TROUBLE-iWOIIDER Ex-minister Has Three Wives In Bad with All.

Chicago. April 22. Kurtz Carlson, who says his real name Is Kurtz Mueller, and that he is an ordained Lutheran minister, pleaded guilty in municipal court to having three wives living. He was arraigned on complaint of the third wife, whom he described as his "true love" and in his story to the court he said he thought his first marriages "should not be held against him." These are the three wives, and the reason he married or left them, as given by Mueller. Wife No. 1. Kate Mazer Mueller, of Sutton, Neb., married her because deacons of his church said it was not good for a young pastor to remain unmarried; after four years left her because of her .simplicity of mind and his own "elevated mentality." She is the mother of three of his children. Wife No. 2. Annie Deblock Mueller, of Detroit; she married him for his money ten months after he left his first wife. After two months she left him ; is the mother of one child. Wife No. 3. Amelia Fehl Carlson, Chicago, his "true love." Married her eighteen months ago in Chicago. ' Mueller has been working as an electrician, but rgave the following as his personal, history:. "I hail from a family of Lutheran ministers. My father was a minister at Alpent, Michigan. He died two years ago. An uncle Is a minister at Paxton, Illinois, and a brother is a Lutheran, minister in Wisconsin. I was educated for the ministry at Springfield and Saginaw, and my first charge was at Sutton, Neb., when I was twenty-two years old. FUNERAL OF LARGE MAN HELD ON PORCH New Albany, Ind., April 22. The body of Timothy Burke, who died near Corydon was taken to Defiance, Ohio. Burke weighed more than three hundred pounds. The coffin prepared for his body was too large to be taken through the door of his home and the body was placed on the porch. Burke retired from active work as a railroad engineer some time ago, after thirty years in the service. He left the road because of his weight and became a farmer. He leaves a widow and three children.

ASK REGULATION OF PICTURE SHOWS Teachers Deem Them Injurious to Pupils Law to Prohibit Theaters.

. Indianapolis, April 22. Councilman George L. Denny has been requested by the Federation of Indianapolis Public School Teachers to prepare

and to introduce an ordinance forbid- Senator-elect Kenyon at first anding the erection, maintenance andnounced ,hat he wou,d not accept the , . . . , jsenatorship until the prosecutions operation or moving p.cture tneairess againgt tne Chieago packor s had been and cheap vaudeville theaters within j completed. This meant that he w ould

one thousand feet of any public school building. The federation has turned over to Mr. Denny a petition in favor of such an ordinance, signed by 680 public school teachers, and bearing indorsements from the board of school commissioners, J. L. Fieser, director of truancy department; Alice B. Graydon, chief probation officer of juvenile court, aud others. A committee consisting of AVilliam N. Otto, Addie Wright. Lorie Krull, Mary McGee and Hannah P. Waterman, school teachers, was appointed in February by the federation to look into the moving picture situation and its influence on school children. The committee says that the ventilation of such places is bad and that harmful influence is exerted over children and that they are usually dreamy on the day following attendance at such places. "The cheap and flashy advertisements circulated," says the committee, "cause unwarranted and unnecessary excitement." The objectionable pictures are usually of three classes: cheap, sensational melodrama of the 'clap trap' variety; unlawful aots, scenes from the boweries and slums of our large cities." Examples Submitted. As an example of the advertising matter given to school children, the committee has given Denny a circular from the Woodruff Theater, 1700 East Tenth street, advertising "coming attractions." ; Among - the attractions mentioned are "Elsie Sigel,. Murdered by Her Chinese Lover"; "Chinatown's Opium Dens and Gambling . Joints"; "Famous Police Raid of 1906"; "Opium Dens Where American Women Can Be Seen 'Hitting the Pipe'"; "Bowery dance hall, showing cafe that is the headquarters of the greatest den of thieves, crooks and murderers on earth." A report has been prepared of a moving picture theater near school No. 15, in East Michigan street. The report covers one school term and shows that 314 of "623 children attending the school made 1,429 visits to the place. Among the attractions offered were: "Men Robbing a House;" "Old Man Killing Servant's Lover"; "Man, Dressed as Woman, Visits the Woman's Husband." Denny probably will introduce an ordinance along the lines suggested at the next council meeting. A law has been passed in Australia and New Guinea to prevent plumes, sqins or eggs of birds being sent out of the country. The. bird of paradise in New Guinea and the lovely lyre bird in Australia have been threatened with extermination by the petty bird murderers after money.

KEIIYOH MAY RETIRE I 3 v. - As Prosecutor vof Packers r Be Unconstitutional. '

' Wa'shington, April 22. The announced plans of W. S. Kenyon, the newly elected United States senator from Iowa, to take his oath of officee on Monday and then "donate" his services to Uncle Sam as an assistant to the At-troney-General in the prosecutions of j t he beef packers at Chicago may cause complications. retain his place as assistant to the Attorney-General until next fall. The Constitution provides that no "officer" of the United States shall sit. in eithpr nouse of congresSi and Kenyon could not qualify as long as he remained in the Attorney-General's office. He declared that he would resign his place, be sworn in as a senator on Monday and then would give his services gratuitously to the AttorneyGeneral's office. There is still some doubt here whether he can thus escape the specific constitutional prohibition, which says : "No person holding any office under the United States shall be a member of either house of congress during his continuance in office." Opinions conflict as to whether the mere termination of Mr. Kenyon's salary will be in accordance with the Constitution. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Jesse W. Locke to Harley L.

SENIORS SECURED M1SS1BG REGftLIA Finally Recapture Caps and Gowns Naughty Juniors .Had "Swiped." , There was rejoicing in the ranks of' the seniors of Earlham college yesterday when they were again able to appear at chapel in their new caps and gowns. About three weeks ago the

Earlham seniors received a shipment of the regalia, fondly hoped for by the undergrad, and tho coming men and women of letters donned the black apparel and appeared unexpectedly in chapel with the same, and "gone one over" on the student body. The junior girls sat with fast beating hearts and longing eyes, gazing upon the coveted manifestation of knowledge, for which they would have to wait another year, and incidentally did not see how the senior girls could wear such things without their knowledge and consent. Their palms Itched to stroke the long folds of the black gowns and stick natpins through the narrow crowns of the four-sided caps, and lik Cataline of old, they formed a conspiracy. In other words their desire to see themselves as others would Be them some time. In caps and gowns, got the best of them, and they yes, they actually "swiped" the full quota of their senior sisters' raiment, and held secret spook parties for a week in nocturnal festive attire. Their elder sisters intervened and pleaded for the return of their rightful property, but the juniors again proved the rule that a fair co-ed is an unapproacba- . ble proposition, and flatly refused to "come across. The seniors used strategy, persuasion and force, but without avail. By a clever ruse, however, they brought the faculty into the mat. ter yesterday morning, and before chapel their much sought after graduating clothes were discovered.
