Claim to Own
Two Chicago women, a little girl
named Harriot, an ofllcer in tho Po
lish army and his titled sister, now
In Poland, are making claims to own
ership of a lnrge part of the land up
on which Cldcngo is built.
The Chicago women are Mrs.
Martha Schuster, TAXI Vincennes ave
nue, and Mrs. II. P, Booth, 0001 Win
ston avenue (portrait herewith), who
believe that they have the key docu
ment needed to prove their direct
descent from Count Casimlr Pulaski,
the Polish patriot, who died fighting
beside George Washington in the
Revolutionary war.
The continental congress in 1777
Is said to have granted the foreign
fighter 830 acres of "worthless" land
In the Indian country, upon which to
day, it is asserted, the city of Chi
cago is situated.
Mrs. Schuster possesses an army
dlschnrge dated 1804 nnd signed by
the then king of Austria. The name on the dlschnrge Is Vladlsiaw von
Polcski, claimed to bo her ancestor. ,
Meanwhile a Philadelphia lawyer, Joseph Gross, Is attempting to prove
the claim of another descendant of the Polish adventurer. This other claim
ant is Count Clndlslov Burdlnsky, now fighting the Russian hordes ns an ofll
cer In "the Polish army. The count nlso claims direct descent from the Pollsli
volunteer of Revolutionary war fame. He has a sister who lives on their
Impoverished estate in Poland.
Sherman Must Rest or Go Blind I
their candidate to succeed him after a hurd-fought primary campnlgn.
Senator Sherman was born in Miami county, O.. in 1858 nnd was brought
by his parents to Illinois In 1850. lie got his schooling in Illinois Institutions.
He is a lawyer and was county Judge In McDonough county, 1880-00. He was
speaker of the Illinois house 1S90-1003, and lieutenant governor of Illinois'
100-1-08. From 1000-13 he was president of the board of administration which

and is now a widower.
j LeJeune, the Marines and Haiti
Gen. John A. Lc Jeune (portrait
herewith), the new head of the Uni
ted States murine corps, isi likely to
play n leading pnrt In the settlement
of tho controversy now raging In the
presidential campaign about the "un
constitutional warfare" in Haiti. He
fore the subject became n public con
troversy Secretary Daniels of the
navy department had secretly sent
General Lo Jeune to Haiti to Inves
tigate. As is well known, a fiscal pro
tectorate was established by the Uni
ted States over Haiti by treaty sev
eral years ago and the island repub
lic hn been virtually governed by an
ofllcer of the United States navy in
command of a forco of United States
marines.
Virtually the only source of newa
from Haiti hns been through the state
department or tho secretary of the
navy in Washington. Tho attitude
of the murine corps headquarters hns been simply that it acted as u polico
force for the state department nnd lield itself accountable to the elate dei
partuient through tho secretary of tho navy.

Y. Shermnn of Illinois, has given out
tho statement in Springfield that he
Is facing this alternative: A year's
complete rest or blindness. Special
ists have told him that he has almost
worn out his eyes from overwork,
and that lie must quit work or lose
his eyesight. This undoubtedly ex
plains Senator Sherman's attitude
during the last session of congress
when he more than once threatened
to withdraw from the political Held
at times when debate waxed warm in
party council.
Senator Sherman was elected

vivid and splendid ribbons appear to
tluiuhito the genius of designers In
the direction of v shopping bugs. Mil
linery fairly revels too In these gor
geous ribbons, that do so much to
tone up the brilliant huts of midwin
ter, but It hns come to pass that bngs
dispose of mnny more yurds of rich,
brocaded ribbons than huts find a use
for. Some fortunate darlings of the
gods can Indulge themselves In huts
with bugs to match, many others con
tent themselves with bugs or with a
lint mude of these gorgeous stuffs.
In any ense they carry a flavor of
genial opulence along with them.

About Those Whimsical Brims
N SOME sensons milliners appear
to center attention on the brims
of huts nnd at other times It Is the
crowns that command all of their eon
sldcrutlnu. Just now, In winter milli
nery crowns ure playing nn Inconspi
cuous pnrt. They refuse to tnke nny
responsibility, being soft nnd unsup
ported, their contour Indefinite, except
nfter. they nre adjusted to the head.
Occasionally when assisted by n side
band they are equal to supporting n
little embroidery but usually they nre
merely n soft covering for the top of
the heud in all fabric lints.
Meanwhile designers are showing
Just bow many things can be done
with brims. They ure fanciful eccen
tric, whimsical, ami they are exceed
ingly pretty and becoming. With the
advance of the season nnd the up
penrnnre of midwinter lints for formal
wear n great many hnnilsnme velvet
hats show brims of uneven width
uud In addition to mere imeveiiuess
they nfo split, curved, dented, slushed,
folded and draped. Their ways are
devious and there Is no telling wliut
will happen to them next, but It Is a
safe gueH that they will not return
to the straight' and narrow path for
some time to conic.

tern, makes a good choice for this set
and for the other bag of the same
shape, shown in the picture. Hut
there Is a world of patterns to choose
from.
Tho third bag Is n very odd and
handsome combination of both bro
caded and plain ribbon. It makes a
good beginning with nn unusual
mounting of sliver and follows It with
a vivid brocaded ribbon body hnvlng
plain sntln ribbon shirred across Us
lower corners. The two ribbons go
well together, the plnln colors empha
sizing the vividness and richness of
the hroended pattern.
Changeable taffetas make lovely

plenty, of bngs mmje without mount

of nnrrow ribbon usually. Velvet bags
ornamented with bends or finished
with bend fringes nre sometimes sus
pended on fine steel chains to corre
spond with the steel nnd glass bends
used In their adornment.
Typical brims appear In tho group
of hats shown In the picture. One of

vet' and Its edges nre bound with
henver cloth. A rose and foliage de

flat bow of ribbon Is posed on the
brim at the front. A great favorite
in shapes has an upturned brim of
brocaded satin, folded Into a plait at
tho center with chain and ball orna

turned brim draped with embroidered
velvet Is pinned to the duvetyn crown
with two lnrge. nrnumentnl pins.

Camera Man Well, did you find out

plays wo are to plcturlze next? ,
Director Yes. They've decided on
"King Lear." Hut I don't approve of
tho selection. You see Lear is n big
character and very exacting nnd calls
for n great actor, well on In years and
classic experience, to proporly assim
ilate It. We have no such actor. King
Lear Is of tho patriarch type, very
venerable and very, very old.
