'BANANA ANNA- ALWAYS LAME.
The Very Latest In Skin "Grafting" as i
Developed In New York. |
Now York , Nov. 28. Hero's the
very latest In skin games , as devel
oped and perfected by Anna A. Strula
otherwise known as "Uanana Anna. "
As a fcminlno Rufus Walllngford , the
fair Anna was in a fair way to amass .
a fortune from her Inventive genius , |
until some naughty men got wise to
her game. That was last June , and
since then Anna's address has been
the well-known Tombs , where she
has been awaiting her appearance be
fore the courts. The trial is set for
today.
Four years ago "Hanana Anna" was
u poor but honest _ boardlng-bouso
keeper In a New Jersey village. Oc
casionally , as u variation from tho' '
customary prunes , she served banan
as for dessert. To this fact was due
Anna's fall from grace. She was a
thrifty soul , and didn't like to throw
anything away. Hut what to do wall
the skins of the bananas ? Long and
deeply Anna cogitated , until one day ,
aha ! she hit upon what seemed to bo
the answer.
1'laclng a banana skin In her hand-
ban she sallied forth to try out her
invention. Selecting a suitable place
on the platform of a railroad station ,
she dropped the banana skin , then
stepped upon It , and gracefully sat
down. As a game sport she sat down
hard , injuring her spine and nervous
system something awful. When the
claim agejit of the railroad had settled
for the damages to Anna's constitu
tion , she found herself in possession
of more money than could be derived
from the prune and hash business In
many months. Choosing different
cities as tlio scene of operations , and
other railways as tho' victims , Anna
repeated the operation with great
rugulaiit.N , at times running the price
of her banana skin up to $1,000. Hut
she played her skin game once too
often , and the Alliance for the Pro.
vent ion of Accident Prand got busy ,
with the result that Anna was sent
away to the Skooktnn house.

European News and Views.
London , Nov. 28. Parliamentary
maneuvers for the past two weeks
have been so puzzling that It Is doubt
ful If oven many members of parlla-
. . N
munt themselves thoroughly under
stand every phase of the vexed ques
tions now facing the British govern
ment. Ono thing , however , Is most
apparent. All the loaders arc exceed
ingly anxious to have the king on their
side. The liberals and unionists arc ,
and have been , umiuestlonably sin
cere in their efforts to reach an agree
ment. Much censure seems to bo di
rected against Winston Churchill be
cause of his apparent determination
to effect a dissolution of parliament
at any coat , without reference to Its
disturbance of thu Christmas trade or
the turmoil which would result when
peace and quiet are Indispensable for
Hit ! coionatlon and the Imperial con-
, ferenco.
I An Interesting development has
I been the Implication of Americans In
the trouble by certain London news
papers. The Standard frankly de
clares that there would be no consti
tutional crisis but for the American
subsidizing of the nationalists. This
Journal says that "It Is Redmond's ,
not Asquith's crisis. Redmond's pat
rons are not the poor , like Parnell's ,
but the affluent. It Is the American
business man , the American capital
ist and the millionaire who are llnanc-
Ing the home rule party for purposes
uf their own. They do not love Eng
land , and they want to prevent the
adoption of tariff reform. "
King George has given England
quite a sensation by his announce
ment that he Intends to go to India ,
with the queen , and that they will bo
crowned at Dolhl , as emperor and em
press of India at the beginning of
1912. There is no preccdant for such
an event. Queen Victoria never con
templated Buc.h a thing , and King Ed
ward never visited any of his colonies
after he ascended the throne. King
George's project Is wholly an Innova
tion , considered In terms of custom
and establishment ; but perhaps It
may bo better considered , In terms of
modernism and progress , an original
idea , a step forward in the great task
of strengthening and solidifying his
empire , by actually appearing In his
own person to assume the crown In
his most remote dominion.
A coronation durbar on January 1 ,
1912 , would present a spectacle unique
In history. The boast of heraldy , the
great pomp of England's power , would
furnish the splendid stage setting for
the central figures of an emperor and
empress maintaining a personal rela
tion with antipodean subjects. The
appeal to the Imagination of East In
dian subjects would bo very strong ,
and King George Is astute enough to
realize that England needs all the
strength she can command.
"Tony Neno" Not Arrested.
Tony Pasha , known better In Nor
folk and northern Nebraska as "Tony
Mono , " a member of the 1909 Norfolk
baseball team , has been done an in
justice In the publication in this paper ,
some weeks ago , of a story connect
ing him with a series of Omaha hold
ups. The Tony Pasha arrested for the
Omaha robberies , and who confessed ,
is an entirely different person and the
Pasha known in Norfolk as Neno was
in no way Implicated. It was the Iden
tity of the two names which led to
the publication by The News that the
former Norfolk ball player had been
arrested In Omaha.
Upon hearing that the man under
arrest was an entirely different per
son than the Tony Pasha known in
Norfolk * The News sent a man to
Omaha to investigate the case in order
that , if a mistake had been made , the
error might be corrected. The News
representative returned from Omaha
last night with the information that a
mistake in identity , due to the two
men having the same name , had been
made. And tills early opportunity is
taken to correct the mistake and to
express the regret of The News that
any such error should have been
made.

Taft After Sunar Men.
New York , Nov. 28. The federal
j government today began ono of Its
most Important actions against great
corporations which are said to have
violated the Sherman anti-trust law.
Henry A. Wise , United States district
attorney , filed In the- United States
district court for the southern district
of New York a petition asking for the
dissolution of the American Sugar Re
fining company and twenty-eight other
corporations which compose the so-
called sugar trust.
The petition charges an Illegal com
bination In restraint of trade and asks
from the court relief in whatever form
may be necessary , including a receiv
ership , If deemed advisable.
Arbitrarily Fix Prices.
The companies composing the sugar
combine have an aggregate capltali/a-
( Ion of $20,000,00 : ! ( ) and control a
largo percentage of the output of su
gar In this country. This combination
Is able to fix prices arbitrarily. The
petition charges that for years the
companies have violated the law , have
oppressed competition and ground
competitors out of existence. Rail
road rebates and customs frauds are
mentioned as devices which were em
ployed to raise the combination to the
commanding position which It occu
pies today.

Tlio filing of the suit was a simple

In printed form was handed to the
