SAY JOHNSON HAS A WHITHFFIIIITY Mother of Girl Asks Police to Rescue Her from the Champion's Home.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, Oct. 17 Asked by Mrs. F. C. Cameron-Falconel, of Minneapolis, to rescue her daughter, Lucile Cameron, alleged by the mother to be living as housekeeper of Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, the police today are uncertain what move to make. They made a careful investigation following the woman's request and found a number of persons who asserted that the girl, who is 19 years old, white and said to be handsome, had been frequently seen in Johnson's company. The police allege that Johnson has admitted the girl is living in the" apartments of Mrs. Etta Duryea Johnson, who recently killed herself. It is further alleged by the police that the former Mrs. Johnson killed herself after seeing her husband with the Cameron girl in one of the private apartments of the Cafe De Champion. Johnson, the police say, alleges that the girl, who has been in the apartments since a few days after the death of his wife, is his housekeeper and he has defied the police to take any action. The champion denied a story that he had married the white girl. Mrs. Falconel first appealed to the civil service commission, then, at the advice of the commissioners, went to 'the chief of police. He took the matiter up and personally directed the investigation.

FREEMAN IS TOLD WHOJS JUDGE Objects to Court's Ruling and Receives Sharp Rebuke from Judge Fox.

Because Judge Fox sustained the motion of Attorney V. V. Reller in the case of Mary B. McConlogne versus Edward McConlogne, to reduce the amount specified at the time the former was granted a divorce from $30 per month for her support to $20 per month, Perry J. Freeman, attorney for the plaintiff took occasion to criticise the action of the court. An argument ensued between the judge and the attorney in which Judge Fox declared that he and "no one else was running the Wayne circuit court." Mary McConlogne was granted a divorce August 14, and at that time Judge Fox ruled that the defendant, Edward McConlogne should pay $30 per month towards the plaintiff's support. Attorney Reller in his motion this morning stated that the plaintiff was now earning wages sufficient for her support and asked that the amount be reduced to $20 per month. The motion was sustained. "That's not according to law," mumbled Attorney Freeman. "Well, I'm familiar with the facts in the case and my decision will stand," the Judge replied. "That's just the trouble," Freeman said. "I'm running this court and no one else, and that decision will remain," the judge said.

SWEET REVENGE. ! Mark Twain Proved That His Old Tim Chum Was a Liaf. . j When the great man "arrives" the j associates of his boyhood days who j used to laugh at the idea of his ever "amounting to anything" retire unob,'trusively to the background. But when the opportunity arisea to make an example of some such skeptical old friend surely no one could rise to the Cooccasion more effectively than did Mark Twain on the occasion described by Albert Bigelow Paine in Harper's Magazine. He came to Keokuk to risit and was effered $5 a week and board to remain. He accepted. In the same building was a book store in which a young man named Edward Brownell clerked. ;He and Sam Clemens became great chums. Sam read at odd moments, at night. In bed, voluminously until very late sometimes. One night Ed Brownell, passing upstairs to his room on the fourth floor, poked bis bead in at the door. "What are yon reading, Sam?" be . asked. ' "Oh, nothing much a so called funny book. One of these days I'll write funnier book than that myself." . Brownell laughed. "No, you won't, Sam," he said. "You are too lazy ever to write a book." A good many years late. when the name Mark Twain had begun to stand for American humor, the owner of it gave his "Sandwich Islands" lecture i In Keokuk. Speaking of the unrelia- ' billty of the islanders, be said: "The king is, I believe, the greatest liar on the face of the earth excepi i one, and I am very sorry to locate that 1 one right here in the city of Keokuk 'In the person of Ed Brownell."

JOHN FOUTS DEAD

A local young man who is attending Columbia university, in a letter to a friend in Richmond, comments on the Cosmopolitan club of the university. He says in part: "Within half a minute's walk of the Columbia University library there is a five story building which houses under one roof students from every quarter of the globe. Japanese, Chinese, Turks anad Hindu3 live in peace and amity tvith Americans, Austrians, Germans and French. The building in which all this takes place is the Cosmopolitan club at 554 West 114th street. "The Cosmopolitan Club was organized three years ago by the foreign students in Columbia University, and since then has taken in nearly all of the foreign students in the city. Last year there were 256 students from foreign lands studying in New York's educational institutions, 140 at New York University, 98 at Columbia and the remainder in Union Seminary, the College of the City of New York and other local schools and colleges. "There are more than 100 Chinese and Japanese students, 25 Ottoman, 15 Hindus and about 100 others, includ

ing 20 from Italy. 29 from Austria, 15 I from Germany, 13 from England, 10 ! from Hungary and 7 from Roumania.

Many of these have been sent to the United States by their governments to prepare them for positions of prominence in their home lands. "Under the direction of the intercollegiate Young Men's Christian Association the foreign students were enabled on the first of August to lease their club house on 114th street, and open it for board and rooms to regular members. The house provides living quarters for eighteen men students, all but four of which have been taken up to the present time, and it is expected that these will be rented before the month is up. The charges for rooms are considerably less than what the students would have to pay if they lived in any of the college dormitories or private barding houses near the college campus. "Board is also very cheap, so that the club in a measure represents the foreign students' solution of the high cost of living problem. Seven Turkish students who came to Columbia a year ago as the result of the scholarships which were placed at the disposal of

!the Turkish Minister of Education by

the Columbia trustees have rooms on the third floor of the house. Above them are some Chinese and belowsome Japanese. They all eat together in the main dining room and at the club socials they all work to give each other a good time. "The club gives what is called a foreign students' supper in the clubhouse. Last year these were given in Earl Hall, Columbia University, and American students acted as hosts. At each

jof the suppers it is planned to have a 'prominent speaker discuss topics of j the time both in this country, and in I the home countries of the students. -On alternate Sundays there is to be an open forum, which on different days is i to be in charge of different groups of I students, each group representing the ; special viewpoint and problems of its native land. "In order that good fellowship shall be the keynote of these gatherings the club has made a rule that no two students of the same nationality should sit beside one another, and the result . was last year that one could and a .

Columbia, '09, who was elected last spring as secretary to President Yuan Shai-k--ai, was active in the work before sailing for China, and it was largely due to hia efforts that the club gained such a strong foothold that it was able to lease a home for itself."

TUNEFUL BELLS III RICHMONDARE FEW Mechanic Explains How Bells Are Made Large Ones Seldom in Tune.

HUMAN LIBERTY. It is true we have done great things, but it is equally true that we have no right to rest upon them. Our past is glorious, but our future ought to be more so. And that nobler future is to give to every citizen of the United States liberty of speech and action. Wealth and prosperity are noble, but human liberty is magnificent. Thomas B. Reed.

"Bell making is one of the few arts which have been in practice from the earliest times, but even to this day it has not reached a state of perfection." remarked a local German who is of a mechanical bent of mind. "Very skilled workmen are needed to construct bells so that they shall be melodious, artistic and durable." This mechanic expressed the belief that there are few bells on the churches of Richmond that have a soft and melodious toue and are free from the

strident clang that is so marked in the dinner bells which farmers use to call their help to dinner. He had the following to say about the construction of bells: "The bell of today is usually composed, of five parts of tin to sixteen parts of copper. It has been found by the large bell founders that to put too much tin in a bell often causes undesirable results, of which cracking is the most common. But the most satisfactory results have been obtained by using very old copper and procuring good tin, which comes from Australia. "In constructing a large bell the

first step is to make the mould. Ttds is really the most vital stage in th whole process, for the slightest error &t this point would certainly lead to failure snd the work wou'.d sU nave to be dene over again. "After the bell is cast It is sent to the tuning shop, where metal is pared off from the inside according to need. "Before the tuning of bells had been studied as au art it was pointed out that a large bell was hardly ever in

i tune. A bell to be in proper tune j must arst be in tune with Itself; that lis to say. it should have at least five tones at correct intervals from on (another in order to produce a perfect musical chord. I "These harmonies are the hum note.

fundamental and nominal, and also the third and fifth from the fundamental, or In other words the strike note. If we were to put the first three named! in musical notation with a C bell w-

i should ge three Cs in octaves.

"It was always found, very much to the surprise of the maker, that small-! cr bells were in worse tune thanl the larger one, but after the mastery) of the harmonics it was found that' practically all these difficulties disappeared, enabling more perfect bells to be produced."

tt Is Bad For Their Nerves and In jurious to Health. Too much love kills many babies" Is the opinion of Mrs. Mary Hlnes, for years matron of the Sunnyside day nursey in Boston. "There is too much kissing, fondling and caressing," continued the matron. "Babies are not any happier when coddled by mothers or neighbors. In fact, it makes many of them miserable. I have known a number to pine away and die from too much physical affection. Take yourself for an example. When not feeling well would you rather lie by yourself on a couch or be close up against some one? Well, that Is the baby's feeling exactly unless his constant handling has made him prefer it. "Kissing is bad for children, because it might give them 6erious disease, and it certainly does no good. If mothers would consider that a baby has rights tho same as a grown person there would be fewer sick babies and much of this harmful affection would be abandoned. "The love of many mothers seems to be wholly to gratify the whims of the child, which is no, a sane love. It is really true in my experience that where there is a large family of children the individual child is stronger and healthier." "Is that because only the fittest survive?" was asked. ""Not at all." replied the matron. "It Is simply because each child does not get so much attention and therefore is not weakened by an excess of affection. It learns to stand up for itself."
