,fm i' S , A THE DAILY EXHAUST r f -5 ' d 1 3? 5: s g ,gofflim ,gg gg SPEAKS AT BIG MEETING At a mass meeting held last evening by the American Association for the Recognition of the lrish Republic, Miss Marion Catterall was the main speaker. She chose as her topic, Why lreland Should Be Freef' After Miss Catterall's very able and feeling address on this sub- ject, Miss Mary Costello, the Trish prima donna, sang several old Irish lyrics in her usual pleasing style. Is HURT BY AUTOMOBILE VVhile crossing Main Street this morn- ing, Mason Hargett was struck by an automobile. Mr. llargett did not look where he was going, but while watching a young lady across the street, walked directly in front of the on-coming car. As he recovered his senses tif that can be possiblej he asked dazedly, What's her address? Dr. Albert Evans is attend- ing the patient, and although he has had a run of had luck lately, having lost twelve cases, hope is entertained by friends and creditors that Hargett will survive. TNVENTS A N1'IXV EXPLOSIVE llarry Herman, the well-known chem- ist, has invented a new high explosive. Tests show it to be a success, for when last seen Mr.Herman was being projected upward into space. We shall endeavor to have a special correspondent present at his return to earth in order to get full details from the experimenter. EVANS ACQUITTEII or TIIEFT Harold Evans was found not guilty, in Iudge Ettinger's court, of stealing a Ford automobile. Evans' plea was tem- porary insanity, and he was ably de- fended by Attorney George Myers who summed up as follows: My client was temporarily insane when he took the car, for surely no man in his right senses would steal a Ford when, as the evidence clearly shows, there were so many better automobiles about. H Is GIVEN HIGH POSITION Orders were received from Washing- ton, today, promoting Lieutenant Ches- ter Anderson, U. S. N., to be commander of all naval schooners on Lake Michigan. This was no doubt due to Lieutenant Anderson's previous experience with schooners. NEW BUILDING TO BE EIzEc'rEn Ever since it was decided Racine did not need a new high school building, there has been agitation concerning the new high school site's being used for some useful purpose. Now it has been decided that a home for homeless cats is to be built on the site. This imposing structure will cost one million dollars, and the city will issue bonds for that amount. pi, Huis l ' In ll Q I--Q QQ- PROFESSOR SOGARD COMMUN1CA'I'Es WITII THE DEAD Prof. R. Sogard, who for many years has claimed that it is possible to talk with the dead, asserts that the truth of his theory has now been proved. lle bases his assertion on the following dis- covery: Last night Prof. Sogard went to the telephone, took down the receiver, and, after waiting for two and half hours heard a faint voice ask, Number, please? Needless to say the professor is jubilant over the success of his ex- periment.

MANTELL FOUND GUILTY OF BRIBING DISTRICT ATTORNEY MYERS- CHARGE BROUGHT BY ATTORNEY WHO NOBLY SPURNS OFFER. lntense excitement was felt at the court house to-day when District Attor- ney George Myers brought a charge of bribery against Iacob Mantell, now awaiting trial for disturbing the peace. ENDEAVORED TO BE A MUSICIAN The trial against Mantell came about as a result ofthe latter's ambition to be- come a musician. It is stated that Mr. Mantell practiced on the violin far into the night. Since his playing was not particularly harmonious, and since such hours of the night are usually devoted to sleep, charges were quickly brought against the would-be musician by scores of indignant neighbors whose soulS refused to respond to the glorious power of music. As soon as the charges were brought against him, Mantell went to the dis- trict attorney and tried to bribe the latter to drop the charge. Mr. Myers spurned the bribe and in Iudge Ettinger's court started an action on the more serious charge. MAKES STATEMENT ln an interview with a representative of The Daily Exhaun, Mr. Mantell made the following statement: The charges brought against me by District Attorney Myers are untrue, and were prompted by political jealousy. I did not offer any bribe nor had I any thought of doing so. As soon as it is possible I intend to bring a charge of libel against Mr. Myers. Such unfair- ness must not go unpunished. FATE UNKNOWN It is not known at present just what further action will be taken against Mantell. It is rumored, however, that he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The trial for disturbing the peace will come up before Justice of the Peace, Edwin Merriman, Monday, Iune 20, at 10:50 A. M. The more serious action will be heard during the luly term ofthe Circuit Court with the Honorable Her- man Lynch presiding. Nlantell will be represented by the firm of Davis, Heck and Konnak. BUYS A GOLD BRICK Two strangers are reported to have sold Hilmar Heuer a gold brick which turned out to be lead. After looking through the rouge's gallery, Heuer identi- fied the men as Al. Petersen and Henry Reno. These slick crooks are well known by the police, who expect to catch them soon.

. t. . . THE DAILY EXHAUST I ,, NN I9 -M i g ILUTC' O: O22 L- Q 09- P TFUDESRE.. Ciba ikipikatni Theme Disgusted and discouraged, I stared at the blank sheets of paper before me. Yes, that fool Kipi theme had to be in tomorrow, and an idea for it would not come into my head. The house was per- fectly quiet feveryone else being out for the eveningj, so the idea was not scared away by noise. I sat and thought, pen in hand, ready to dash down any elusive inspiration, but none came. Ipulled out my Ingersoll. Suffering cats, it was 8:50,Ihadn't started, and besides I still had two other lessons to get. Oh, well, if I had to write some- thing I decided I'd write one of those Wild West affairs, which clogged my theme tiles when I was a Frosh and, also, when a Soph. Accordingly, I wrote across the top of the paper, IITHE HAZARDS OF HELEN Wretched name, I thought, and then I began. The night was dark and stormy upon the Arizona hills some five years ago. Q lVIore bunk thought I.j When the lightning shot across the sky, it revealed a man crawling slowly up the side of one of the hills. The man had a dark face and cruel eyes, and his name -C Ah, his name, what should that be? j was-the Duke Alfonso de Braggadocio. His destination was a small cabin perched on the hill. At last he reached it, burst open the door and strode in. Inside he saw C Now what on earth was it? Oh yes. j nothing but a small black box. 'Ahal' quoth the Duke, 'I have it, and now I shall have her tool' He picked up the box and left the cabin. The storm had somewhat abated, and by the time he had reached his horse at the bottom of the hill, the storm had stopped. He mounted his horse, and with the box under his arm, rode toward the south, where a light twinkled in the dis- tance. C Now where did he go? I asked my- self. Ah, I have it. To the ranch where Helen, the heroine, lived. j Helen Hottdoggue was walking in the moonlight which now flooded the landscape since the passing of the storm. Suddenly she heard hoof-beats coming up the road. The gate slammed. Some one was approaching through the park which surrounded the ranch-house. Sud- denly there confronted her the hateful countenance of the Duke. 'Sign,' he hissed, thrusting some papers and his Neversharp pencil into her hand. 'Nevahl' said Helen, spurning him with her glance. 'Coisesl you shall,' the Duke pulled out his nefarious hip Howitzer, 'or I'll blow out your brainsl' Helen trem- blingly took the pencil and began to write. 'Bang'a loud report split the night air. The pencil flew from our heroine's hand. Bounding across the greensward came Harolde Hottaire, the brave young cow- boy. 'Foiled', growled Alfonso. Seizing the fair Helen, whose shrieks rent the night and spurred on the young hero, the villain dashed for his horse, vaulted into the saddle, and with his fair victim galloped down the road. Harolde ran to the rear of the house where his faithful charger was parked, and seizing the reins, he shifted into high and immediately tore down the road in pursuit of the villain. He began to gain speedily on the Duke, and was about to command the villainous wretch to halt, when the latter turned about, fire-arm in hand. There was a blinding flash and a loud report. Our hero's horse keeled over dead, spill- ing the brave Harolde head over heels into the ditch.
