HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAPAND OINTMENT “When my daughter was four weeks old; she had a dreadful scale which covered her face and head, and we thought for a time she would lose her eyesight. At first the skin was inflamed, and it itched continually and she could not sleep day or night. At last little red pim- ples with festered heads ap- peared and where the pim- ples had been, there would appear a horrid scale. It disfigured her terribly. “Then I thought I would try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After the third appli- cation we could see a marked improve- ment, and in a short time she was healed.” (Signed) Mrs. Geo.

In this address he took occasion to say that if he voted that year he would cast a straight re- publican state ticket, but would not support the Cincinnati ecity ticket placed on the ballot by the republican organization. This was construed as a direct slap at the Cox organization, but contrary to expectations, Hamil- ton county was solid for Taft when he was a candidate for president a short time later and it was known that Cox used his influence in swinging the state for Taft. Retires in 1909. When Cox announced his retirement from politics in 1909, Hermann and Hynicka continued the organization which was considered intact until it was beaten in the mayoralty race in Cincinnati a little more than three years later. Cox as a young man was an en- thusiastic baseball fan. He organized and was a member of the “Oseeolas”, during the strenuous days of baseball when fights were frequent. The mot- to of the club was “Win, Tie or Fight” and Cox is said always to have been where the trouble was the thickest. Later he was associated with Au- gust Hermann in the ownership of the Cincinnati Nationals. The ill-fortunes of that club palled on Cox, however, and whell he became tired of sup- porting @ “tail-ender” he sold his stock. " Mr. Cox was president of the World Film corporation, one of the largest picture producing and distributing concerns; chairman of the board of directors of the Shubert theatrical in- teests, vice president of the Marcus Loew amusement enterprises, and was interested in the Keith vaudeville circuits. He was president of the Cin- cinnati Trust company and held stock in various realty companies which have constructed theaters in New York city. WILL MARRY ORPET IF HE GOES FREE School Teacher’s Letters His Chief Solace During Trial Chicago, May 20.—Miss Celeste You- ker of Maywood, Ill., will marry Will Orpet if he is acquitted of the murder of Marian Lambert at his trial in Wau- kegan. The Unnversity of Wisconsin under- graduate has had this assurance from the lips of the young woman for whose love he cast aside the pretty Lake Forest high school girl who died at s feet from cyanide of potassium in Helm’s woods last February. Once during the trial yesterday Or- pet, as he sat between his father and mother at his lawyer's table, drew from his pocket furtively a letter writ- ten in a feminine' hand on mono- grammed blue stationery As he glanced at it his eyes softened and his faint sneer melted into a happy smile. The letter was from Miss Youker. One is delivered at the jail every day. Orpet watches for them eagerly. If they fail to arrive by the first post he is restless and morose until the afer- noon mail brings the coveted epistle. Miss Youker's visit to her sweet- heart has been kept secret. It occurred on Tuesday evening, but news of it daid not leak out. The pretty young woman who formerly taught chemistry in the high school at De Kalb, arrived at the Waukegan jail with her broth- or, Claude Youker of Lake Bluff, and his wife, formerly Miss Marguerite Mason, and Charles Orpet of Winnet- Glasses ka, Will Orpet’s elder brother.

Advertising EI BOYS SET FIRE TO NEW CHURCH ALTAR Greek Orthodox Church Decorations Damaged to the Extent of $1,000 By Boys Seeking Excitement. Five altar panels for the Holy Trin- ity Greek Orthodox church on Wash- ington street, valued at $2,000 were endangered and three were damaged to the extent of $1,000 early last eve- ning when two small boys, Vincent Utopski and John Koszyta, set them on fire to see the excitement. The po- lice investigated the affair and ar- rested Utopski, who blamed Koszyta. The latter was found hiding under a veranda at his home. Both boys were placed on probation by the court to- day. John Berkoff of Philadelphia has the contract for redecorating the altar of the church and the panels are the product of six month’'s work. He had already got two of them into the church when he came out and found three of them in flames. The fire de- partment was called out and saved the panels from complete destruction. The panels were insured at Philadelphia but as soon as they were unloaded at the local freight yards the insurance lapsed, so the damage is a total loss. Utopski finally admitted to the po- lice that he lighted two matches and his companion lighted three to set fire to the ornaments towards which the church parishioners had contribut- ed so much of their money.

Daly of the New effort to take her four-year-old son, . | Charles Daly Barnett, from her hus- band, Willard R. Barnett, now assist- ant general sales manager of the American Sugar Refining company, disclosed the fact that the Barnetts, who lived in the Ormonde, 2030 have heen separated since last. Barnett, who resigned last Decem- Ler as assistant general passanger agent of the New York Central, where he was in his father-in-law’s Gepartment, admitted in reply to his wife’s plea for custody of the that he not only took his gon from Mrs. Barnett on April 24 but that he took the nurse, who has cared far the boy since infancy Foth, he said, were well cared for in his apartment. He added that his wife was so angered by his act in taking the boy that when he sent for the child’s night clothes she refused {o send them, although it was then too late at night for him to buy other garments. Barnett said that he had a righ ta be the “head of his own house” without interference from his father-in-law. Wife Tells of “Cruelties.” Mrs. Barnett, in her petition, said that she was married on June 1, 1909, and that she lived with her husband until March 12 last. Before that, she said, his “cruelties and licentious- ness” had made her life unhappy. Then, she said, because he was too “dangerous and unfit” te live with she was forced to leave him. She said that when she left her husband she tcok her son, born October 26, 1913, along with her, not only because she believed her hus- bund “tottally unfit” to have the boy but because of her ‘“‘desire through maternal love and affection to have a child of such tender vears with his mother.” She said that after leaving her husband she sent her boy to visit his father regularly, in the care of the nurse, ‘“exercising only the pru- dence to see that such visits were under proper auspices.” On April 24, while the boy was in the care of his nurse, her husband and against the protest of the nurse, took the boy and refused, and still refuses, to return him.” Barnett, through attorney, William Trav Jerome, said that his wite left him *“‘without justification or cause.” NTERTAINED BY FRIENDS Miss Mary Kerrigan Tendered Miscel- lancous Shower Last Evening.

Wolfe Von Igel, ex-secretary to Captain Von Papen, the recalled Ger- man military attache, was arrested in l}:ew York in conncction with a plot to blow up the Welland canal and his papers were seized by federal agents and kept despite vigzorous protest by Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador. Germany contended that Von Igel, as a diplomatc officer, was immune from arrest and his papers immune from seizure. The Geérman proposal to settle this acute controver®y has now been sug- gested by the German ambassador. It is for legal proceedings against Von Igel to be dropped and his papers re- turned on the undcrstarding that he is recalled and pumished in Germany if the evidence shows tiat he was guil- ty of an offence. How the state department will act on this proposal is not known. The seized papers are understood to con- tain much valuable information affec ing high personages who were in- volved in intrigues directed against Germany’s enemies. More Peace Plans. Fuurther pleas for the initiation of peace pourparliers continue to reach here from Berlin. Apparently the German censors have instructions to pass all matter bearing on Germany's willingness to discuss peace, and the reports along this line are so .persist- ent that they are regarded as more or less inspired by the Wilhelmstrasse. Coincident with the peace talk comes confidential information to the state department from American con- suls in Germany showing the effect which the British blockade is having on food prices and on the stoppage of necessary materials to Germany. The nature of these advices is kept a secret at the state department, but it is understood that they show that the food problem is now becoming a very serious matter for the officlals to deal with. It is learned for example, that the failure of this summer's crops in Ger- many would be a serious affair. With their customary foresight the German authorities are already dealing with the possibility of this unwelcome con- tingen Coincident with these reports from Germany comes news that Great Brit- ain is tightening the blockade more and more with the evident intention of cutting off all sorts of German sup- plies more vigorously than before. Three German Ships Sunk. British submarines which put up for the winter in Russiar. Baltjc ports are now active again and Consul-Gen- eral Skinner reported from London that three German ships had been sunk by submarines.
