Army as "Buddies"
Washington, Feb. 15. Formula
tion of a definite, program as a basis
on which to continue its campaign
against high living costs baa been
initiated by railroad laborers, it was
disclosed by union officials. While
the wage demands of the 2,000,000
railroad workers which have held
official attention since February 3,
will be held in Temporary abeyance
at the request of the president, there
is no disposition on the part of
union leaders to regard their work
as complete or to await altogether a
final decision on the whole wage
controversy to he given Dy the gen
eral conference of union committee
men to be held here February 23.
The attitude of the union ofTU
cials, .while they expressed gratifica
tiou at the recognition of certain of
their principles by President Wil
son, is predicted on atK apparently
general belief among their member-
ship that the government has not
held together in many of its drives
on. the high cost of living spectre."
Much criticism was directed at con
gress and the heads of executive de
partments during the recent wage
negotiations, leaders said.
I he general teeling of railroad
labor was expressed in this ques
tion, asked by union official, who
has carried its grievances through
the negotiations:
"Are we, as Americans, to admit
that we cannot ' control the
profiteer?" , i
The program tinder consideration
will in no way run counter to the
plan of the American Federation of
Labor, which has announced its in
tention of engaging aggressively in
the coming political campaign. With
this railroad union-leaders said they
were in, complete accord. Union
heads said they desired to have their
ideas worked out comprehensively
for submission o-4he general con
ference next week.

Amazing Story of Daylight
Jack the Clipper Told by
Young Girl.
New Orleans, Feb. 15. Miss Nor
man Biggar, 15 years old, and good
to look at, reclined in bed ad in
circumstantial detail told an amaz
ing story of the operations of a
daylight Jack-the-Clipper, who, she
declares, invaded her home - and
slashed off a handful of her heavy
tresses, .
Miss Biggar's hair is or was
long and heavy. And from her locks
a handful has undeniably been cut.
It was between 9 and 9:30 o'clock
in the morning, says Miss Biggar,
that ahe was alone in her home.
Her mother, Mrs. H. Biggar, had
departed for her work at the Maison
Blanche. The girl in her bathrobe
went to the front door and locked
it, she says; went to the back door
and found it locked, and did not pay
any attention tp the side door.

Then, changing to a house dress,
she stood before the mirror in her

in the kitchen, she says, she had
"heard a noise," but thought it had
been made bv another family in the
other half of the duplex house.
While combing her hair, she says,
"as in a dream she heard a voice
say: "Get the ribbon bow and put
it on your head." Mechanically she
obeyed. And then in the mirror she
saw a hand that "shot through the
door and seized her hair." Her arm,

Baby Born With Bullet Jn
c Body Lives, Mother Dying
Gadsden, Ala., Feb. 15. A
little 1 week old baby is lying at
the Rails hospital with a .22 rifle
bullet in its shoulder, and, ac
cording to last report, it was do
ing well and would probably
live.
The baby was torn to Mrs.
Alice Martin of Boat a few
hours after she was removed, to .
' the hospital suffering from a
bullet wound in her abdomen.
She wasxhandling a .22 rifle in
her home, according to the
meager reports-that have, t6en
secured, wherrthe rifle was dis
charged and-., the bullet, enter
ing her-tbdomen, lodged in the
unborn baby's shoulder. When
her condition was noted at the
hospital the physicians in an ef-
-y N
fort to save her life performed
the rare Caesarian operation up
on the mother. After it had been
born it was found to be wounded
in the shoulder. -No effort will
be made to remove the bullet
and if the little girl lives she will
always carry the lead in her
body.
The mother died two days
after the child was born and her
body was taken to her home.
She has a sister living near here.
The operation that saved the
life of the child is a delicate one
and only resorted to in extreme
cases. It was highly successful

Informal "Will" Disposes
Of Two Million Estate
Denver. Feb. 14. An estate valued
?2.000,000 was disposed of in the
briefest and most informal document
ever recorded in a Colorado court.
The estate was divided among the

widely known cattleman and capital
ist of Wyoming and Colorado, who
made his home in this city the past
few years on the strength of a brief
note found among his effects." The
will was written in lead pencil in
1905, and is as follows:
I have never made a will, but ray
ntentions are to do so shortly and
subsequent to this. But in case of
my death before doing so I desire
my estate to be divided as follpws:
Une-halt to go to my wife, GUsste
Haley, and the remaining one-half
to be divided equally , between my
three children O.-a Benjamin Halev
my son; and my daughters, Mrs.
Annie Uussie George and Mrs.
Blanch Smith.
(Signed) "OKA HALEY,

Fourteen years after this was
written Haley had neglected to
make the will he planned.

and it is plenty, first
place must be awarded to Miss
Grace Walsh, singer, and Johnnie
Jordan, dancer. Miss Walsh is not
only endowed with charms of linea
ment and person, graceful and vi-'
vacious in carriage and manner, but
has a way about her that baffles
mere words, and her vocal endow
ment is not the least of her physical
attractions. A pure soprSno voice,
very clear, and sufficiently strong to
fill the great auditorium with its
beauty unimpaired, and used with
taste and skill is her chief bid for
attention. It cannot be separated
from the girl herself, however, and
the two make a combination that
would "carry the show" if it had
nothing else to commend it.
Then Johnnie Jordan, dainty, de
mure, flitting about the stage like a
bit of thistle-down borne on a sum
mer zephyr, is what one ardent and

Madame Petrova. won her audi
ences .yesterday at the Orpheum,
where she began a one-week en
gagement, having recently returned
to the spoken drama. - She won
through the powers of her voice,
her statuesque beauty, her expres
sive eyes, and a smile that is as in
genuous as that of a child. She ran
the gamut of gay to grave, winning
plaudits when she offered an in-i
tensely dramatic soene which
brought forth a full measure of her
emotional expression. For an, en
core she recited a short poem to a
baby in wliich the tenderest senti
ment was expressed" in her , own
charming manner. The rcnge of her
expression is her greatest gift, and
it is good for he eyes just to look
on Petrova in her queenly garments
and to watch the graceful move
ments of her beautiful arms and
hands. She sings a few numbers
and for a final encore she speaks to
her audience in terms of intimacy,
stating that she has gathered in
many shekels during the last four
years by "keeping still," a veiled
reference to her work in the movie
studios. And it may be said that
Petrova, the artist, knows what the
average vaudeville audience wants
and expects.

such a hit-that it lias been routed

Feud." In this picture Mix gets
away from his 'stunt 6tufP and goes
in for real acting. As Jere Lynch,
son of a feudist family in the Blue
grass region in the early sixties, Mix
establishes himself as an interpreter
of dramatic roles. A love romance
between children of enemy families
is bound to carry shooting in its
wake if discovered; 'and this case is
no exception. Jere wants to discon
tinue the feud, but is stung' into ac
tion when his father is snot down
before his eyes. Jere kills his fath
er's slayer, "and has to ride for his
life, to escape the posse. This leads
to a series 'f thrilling incidents,
which include an Indian attack upon
a wagon caravan on the. old Santa
Fe trail. The end of the story does
not come until the prophecy that
blood must be shed before the Lyn'ch
blood and the Summers bjood are
joined- is fulfilled. The supporting
cast includes Claire McDowell, J.

from the large audience attracted

house packed to capacity for the
balance of the week. As a chorus
girl with but , little money she is
forced to keen house for herself and I
ao her ownxooking. And Miss Tal
madge does it, as the screen will
show. In fact, she is quite as proud
of her household accomplishments
as she is of her screen talent. "Two
Weeks" is the story of a chorus
girl who leaps to fame, and who, to
escape the importunities ot a too
rash lover, flees to the home of
three crosty bachelors, where she
upsets all-rules and traditions and
vamps her way through their hard
