OLYNPIC SPORTS ARE INTERRUPTED Springlike Weather Causes Much Disappointment St. Moritz, Switzerland, Feb, 16.— UP—Balmy springtime weather to- day continued to raise havoe with the Olympic winter eports program and today’s events again were inter- Fupted, Two hockey matehes were disput- ed this morning, but the sun came out in full force about noon and soon turned the ice into slush necessitat- ing the calling off of the games for the day. Belgium defeated Trance at hockey 3 to 1 and Switzerland scor- ed an upset in the eame sport by defeating Germany 1 to 0. The figure skating for'women was started but had to be abandoned be- fore the program Was completed. The bob sleigh run in which John Heaton and William Fiske of the United Statea were entered had to be postponed until tomorrow. An attempt by the committee to have Canada play 8weden in the first semi-finals of the hockey com- petition this afternoon brought a protest from the Canadians who car- rled their point and the match was fixed for ecight o'cleck tomorrow morning. v “Wo came here to play hockey and not water polo,” said P. J. Mul- queen, chairman of the Canadian Olympic committee, when informed that the committee wanted the Can- adian-8wedish game played this aft- ernoon. There appears small likelihood that tae 10,000-metre race, about which s0 many complications have arisen, will be run again in accord- ance with the decision of the inter- national akating federation. The fed- evation yesterday overturned the de- cislon of the execntive commission of the international Olympic committee that Irving Jaffee of New York be proclaimed the 10,000-metre cham- plon on the strength of his leading position when the event was called off on Tuesday because of unfavor- able weather conditions. Gustavus T. Kirby, American dele- gate to the Olympic winter sports has received a telegram from the Finns who are now en route to Helsing- fors, reading: “Congratulationa. The American victory in the 10,000 metres was well earned.” This mes- sage was signed by Thunberg, 8kut- nabb, Ovaska and Backman, Fin- 1and's four efitries in the speed skat- ing. Kirby announced today that the American epecd skaters may leave Bt. Moritz tomorrow should the thaw continue, WHITE HOUSE BREAKFAST Represcntative F.

Andrus of Yonkers, who for years rode on subways but differed from other straphangers because he had millions of dollars, today reached his §7th birthday. He was in fine health and spirits. In fact, he offered to box one of his interviewers but the challenge was declined. . “I expect to live long,” he sald. “I hope to live within a few days of the age of Methuselah.” The annual interview began en routine lines and, asked to name the greatest man he knew, Andrus chose been bullt. He bought a share of 8inger Sewing machine stock In 1864 value of $97,630. “But say,” he recited, “Ive got #rome things that beat that all hol- low. Some years ago I took some stock in the Texas Pacific railroad when it owned vast land grants. They gave an acre of land with a share of stock. T think mine cost about 30 cents a share and now its worth about $2,412 a share.” Andrus is no longer ‘“‘the world's richest straphanger” because he now rides to work every day in an auto. mobile, KIN OF JACK HORNER New Earl of Oxford and Asquith is Descendant of Famous Nursery Rlymo Boy. Glastonbury., Eng, Feb. 16 UP— The new Earl of Oxford and As- quith, aged 11, is a descendant on his mother's side of Little Jack Horner who sat in a corner eating ple. The corner is Mells Manor, which the monks of Glastonbyry were forced to abandon during the {reformation. The accepted explanation of the nursery rhyme is that Jack Horner was steward of the abbot of Glas- tonbury and that he by subterfuge gained posscssion of the deeds of | Mells Manor, The deeds were sent |to Henry VIII. Concealed for safe- ty in a pie, Jack Horner was the bearer and en route he lifted the crust and extracted this “plum.” Mells Manor is etill owned by Hor- ner's direct descendants. Katherine Frances Horner, daughter of Sir John Horner, married Raymond As- quith in 1907, He was killed in ac- tion during the war.

Stops That Tough Hang-On Cough That Racks Your Whole Body For ordinary coughs any simple #weet sugary cough syrup will prob- ably do. But when you want to throw out of your system one of those obstin- ate, old timers, that simply won't be conquered, but linger on and on causing sle ‘pless nights and days of torment then you've just got to have & REAL cough medicine. Then you must ask vour -druggist for a bottle of Bronchuline Emulsion for the harder and tougher and tighter they come the more joy: Tironchuline gets in knocking them out. Bronchuline isn't a cheap cough conqueror mind you, for first raters are never cheap. But if you are ene of the unlucky ones that a persist- ent, health destroying cough is push- ing towards the grave, get a bottle today and notice how the first dowe takes right hold and soothes the raw sore membrane. Often three or four deses bring blessed relief and half a bettle forces the most stuborm, die-hard cough into submission. “A bottle of magic.” one oi4 man calls Bronchuluine Emulsion. He was all worn out and ready to give up when a friend brought him the good news about Rroachuline. Don't let a cough hang on—it's dangerous company—Get rid of it quick. Ask Fair Dept.

Although war had not yet boen declared these men were the first to die in the war with Spain. The blowing up of the alne was not tha political cause of the war but proved to be the pivot cause that proved that Bpain was not a desirable neighbor. War fol- lowed the disaster and with it came freedom for Cuba. The Bpanish war gave the United Btates the inspira- tion for the last war that this coun- try fought, namely the World war, “Why do men go to war? What are the reasons? Love of home and love of country enter the heart of every man and fires his soul to do his part to maintain the freedom and independence of his country. The Spanish war veterans responded to their country's call with enthusi- usm and patriotism. “Today every town, city and vil- lage is the scene of a gathering of try.

Ex-Commander Theodore Johnson was the next speaker on the pro-| gram. He gave a short specch on, the sinking of the Maine. | “Times during the war were al-| ways trying,” Mr. Johnson said. The great difference in weather caused the soldiers great discom- | fort. The woldiers were outfitted with heavy blue uniforms that ware fitted for the climate in our country but were totally out of place in lhu’ war area. The heat was terrific and the woldiers suffered untold misery. | “Many of the soldiers who en- listed and fought in the war never | returned alive. Many were Killed | and others dicd from diseases. How- ever, the body of every man who died on forcign soil during the war| wag returned to the United States for burial. The Spanirh-American | army veterans can be proud of the fact that their army was the only volunteer army that cver fought under United States colors. Every man was a volunteer and it is al- most mafe to say that there will never be another volunteer army in this country.” Past Commander W. J. Rawlings | gave a short address. He told the | audience that the 8panish-American soldiers went to war to fight for their country and do whatever was expected of them and they felt, when the war was over, that they had performed their duty in the best way they knew how. Mr. Rawling also gave a short talk on Past Commander A. H.

Doris and George McDonald and the Women's Jail at Montrcal where the girl is confii.ed, awaiting execution. Montreul, Quebee, Feb, 16—The fervid public attention which cen- tered on Ruth Snyder in Bing Sing ! prison, New York, a short time ago, centers today on a 21-year-old American girl, Doris McDonald, in the women's jail here. Doris McDonald {s walting in the women's jail for the dawn of March 23, when, with her husband, George McDonald, she is to be taken out and hanged for the murder of a taxi driver. There is no hope for the hushand. It is generaly believed that there is little, {f any, for the girl. Only a repricve from, Viscount Willingdon Governor General of Canada, can save her. She Docsw't Care, Doris McDonald, who used to hoast that she was *“tough,” hut who now f{s moody and acquiescent, doesn’t care. From day to day she sits in her cell and mourns—not for herself, but for her husband. “If George dies, I want to die too,” she has told her guardians time and again. “I don’t want to live without him. If he swings, let me swing too.” It happens Doris McDonald bore |the name of Snyder in childhood. | 8he was born Elinor May Wilth Sny- der, child of Lee Bnyder, now of | Wheeling, W.

But Palmer and Mrs. McDonald named different towns when asked where they were married. McDonald sign- ed the name Bouchard as “Bour- gert.” in a chemise with a rug for a skirt. They were refused admission to the states and returned to Montreal, where they abandoned the car. The nest day Bouchard's lifeless body was found near the Huntington highway three miles from Trout river. He had been shot twice, and thrown face downward in a watery ditch to die. His money. $200, was stolen. Nearby was found a wo- man's alip, skirt, hat, shoes and stockings, some of them spattered with blood. They later were jdenti- tied as Doris McDonald's. For six weeks the McDonalds dropped completely out of sight. Then they were arrested in Sutte, Montana, under the name of Carter, for paseing false checks. A revoiver they had was of the same calibre as the bullets found in Bouchard's body. They were extradited to Canada and trial commenced De- cember € in the little country town Valleyfield.

Now, in the little jail be- hind the ecourthouse where they were tried, preparations are being made to erect the gallows from which they will drop to their deaths.
