• JUDGE THINKS
‘ KANSAS LAW IS
PROPER THING
WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 2 (by Asso
ciated Press).—That a concerted
plan by ihose opposing the Kansas
industrial law exists, to elect a leg
islature which will repeal the law at
the next general session in 1921 was
*the declaration of William L. Hug
gins, presiding judge of the Su
preme court here. Judge Huggins
pleaded that the law be given a
“fair chance.”
He said the operation of the new
law thus far has been very satisfac
tory.
“The legislature created here a tri
bunal in which justice is administered
without money and without price,”
continued the Judge. “The poorest
man in Kansas, if he is engaged in
any of the essential industries named
^^^in the law, may at any time come
^^^nto the court and make his complaint
known. The state provides him with
a lawyer and will prepare his case
for him without charge. It provides
him with expert accountants and en
gineers and trained examiners who
will investigate his case without any
charge.
“If the court has rendered its de
cision, the laborer is dissatisfied, he
j*may take it before the supreme court
of Kansas. The ^evidence which the
state helped him introduce and pre
pare is transcribed for him by an ex
pert reporter.”

FOR CHICAGO TRAFFIC
CHICAGO, 111., Aug., 2 (by Associat

-♦steel, for use on Chicago’s new
boulevard link bridge settled into
place recently with a whirling of
gears, and for the ninth time in 117
( years north and south Chicago were
connected by a direct lake front
route.

bascule, or “jack-knife” type, is a tri

draw is open for passing ships the
two immense “leaves” tower 150 feet
into the air. A broad boulevard via
duct leads to the upper level, re
served for pleasure passageway. The
bridge costs $16,000,000 and more
than twenty years was spent in plan

EG YPTffOMEN
HAVE LIVES OF
HARSHEST KIND
LONDON, Aug. 2 (by Associated
Press).—The treatment of women in
Egypt is the darkest phase of Egyptian
life, says G. N. Barnes, member of par
liament, who has returned from a tour
of that country.
The men in Egypt, said Mr. Barnes,
so far as sex relations were concerned,
thought themselves the lords of crea
tion. They could divorce their wives ;
at will without whim or reason, and
it was not uncommon for a man to
have three wives.
“In many houses,” continued Mr.
Barnes, “I never saw a woman and
you can take it from me that the posi
tion of the women in Egypt is abso- j
lutely one of serfdom and dependence.!
They spend their lives in miserable
hovels; in working in the adjoining
fields, or in getting water.
“They are the serfs of the men and
as much beasts of burden as the don
key and the camel. A people which
uses women folk in that way are des
tined to be a subject race and do not
i deserve to govern.”

PROTECT ALLIGATORS
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2 (by Asso

seems to want to make a suitcase of

show that practically all of the alli
gator skins exported from the United
States go through this port. One con
cern alone is exporting an average of
10,000 hides each month throughout
the year.

LUXURY TAX IS
TOO GREAT FO
BIG THEATERS
BERLIN, Aug. 2 (by Associated
Press).—Taxation amounting to
something like 55 per cent of gross
revenue and heavy running expenses
are responsible for the recent closing
down of 60 first-class theaters in
Germany. Many theatrical and oper
atic companlies are said to be in sore
financial straits. Few people can af
ford to pay for the higher priced
seats at the present increase of rates
and the moving picture houses, with
their popular prices are reaping a
harvest.
The manager of the Reinhardt con
cern which controls the three most
important Berlin theaters states that
the latest “luxury” tax alone takes
more than 20 per cent of the box
office receipts. Boxes and stalls are
now rarely booked.
Director Ba^anowsky 0f the Lessing
theater, t,ie home of the drama in
Berlin, ton- a Tageblatt representa
tive that the German stage is passing
through a most critical period.
Theatrical budgets, he said, can no
longer be balanced. The greatest
nrenacehe said, was “Americanism”
by which, he explained, the meant
"art for amusement’s sake, not art for
art’s sake.”
ANCIENT COLLAR IS
REWARD FOR CHARITY
VIENNA, Aug. 2 (by Associated
Press).—The general’s collar worn by
Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden,

tria. The insignia was taken from his
body by soldiers of the Austrian guard
and has been in the military museum
here.
RUMANIA STRUCK BY
SPIRITUALIST WAVE
BUCHAREST, Aug. 2 (by Associ
ated Press).—A wave of spiritualistic
seances has swept over Rumania and

received extraordinary “messages.”

municate with the spirit of Julius Cae
sar had failed because he was “com
mamding and governing in Mars and

NORTHERN FOX PUPPIES
DIE OFF IN CALIFORNIA
TAHOE CITY, Cal., Aug. 2 (by As
sociated Press).—The first litter of fox
puppies born at the Kirman fox farm,
established near Lake Tahoe last fall,
survived only a few days, due, it is
believed, to improper feeding. This
again reduces the fox population to
two. Of the four sliver gray animals
brought from Prince Edward island,
two escaped, one being killed in the
wilds later and the other never heard
of. Richard Kirman, the proprietor,
plans to bring four additional animals
from Prince Edward island this fall.

NORTHERN IRUG CO,
THE DRUG STORE OF ALASKA
“Service” is Our Motto
“Marry Me or You Die,” Said Giacomo the terrible
CHICAGO.—The tables In the little Italian restaurant at 736 South State
street bubbled with talk. The diners were noisy over the macaroni Neapol
itan and the bread stalks. They talked and gestured and argued about th«
absence of Chianti. Then in walked
a big swarthy man and silence fell.
Silence for an instant. Then from
table to table went the whisper:
“That is the killer. That is the
knifer. That is Giacomo the Terri
ble, Giacomo Mirabello."
Mirabello seated himself, and it
was plain to see he was in no pleas
ant mood. He had been to the police
station to demand the long knife tak
en from him when he was arrested
for attacking a woman.
The police would not give it up, naa even askeu mm now ne came out
in the trial, and the other trial—the one after he had ripped open the stomach
of Frank Sisiesta—Sisiesta, who had once stabbed him.
No, Mirabello was angry. And he called to him, the waitress, Angelina
Costanzo, the daughter of Antonio, who owns the restaurant—the seventeen
year-old girl who had refused his cousin, Frank Cammino, and at whom his
cousin had fired two shots.
“You marry me,” said Knifer Jake, you marry me, or I’ll kill you.”
The girl went back to her father and told him. and he emerged—a little
man and old, but with courage and a long butclu-r knife.
The killer overturned his table and tried to grapple with the old man.
The diners fled. Angelina’s sweetheart, Salvatore Corrao, stood ready to de
fend his future father-in-law, should he need defense. He didn’t. Seven times
he plunged the kmfe into the killer’s body.
And then he went out to a p liceman and confessed. Giacomo the Ter
rible was still breathing, but died in the ambulance.
The police took Costanzo into custody, hut they said “Good job, Antonio.”
