Man Served Thirty Years In the U,
Marine Corps.
Sergeant Robert Smyth, after 30 years'
service In the United States Marino Corps,
was today put on the retired Hat. He la
62 years old.
As ho said Kood-by to his frlendw at the
T.caRUo Island Navy Yard, wlioro ho has
been stationed for the past year, Smyth
proudly displayed a Government check
for mnie than $11)00 which, ho says lie has
saved since he has been In the service.
For several hours today, Paul Fittery,
pitcher of the Cincinnati baseball team,
feared that he would not be uhlr ta aid
his team in this afternoon's struggle with
the Phillies. A warrant chufRlnff him
with desertion and nonsupport cnuscd his
detention nt detective headquaitcrs at
City Hall.
After much trouble he wni dually lib
crated through the efforts of Paul Ban
croft, secretory ot the Cincinnati club,
who succeeded In getting the American
Bonding and Surety Company to go lot
tery's security.
The pitcher's breakfast was disturbed
this motnlng at the Majestic Hotel by
tho arrival of Detectives Harbrldge nnd
Marks, of City Hall, who presented him
with a wnirnnt Just as he was sompllng
Ills sliced pearlies.
This was the climax to a romance
which begnn In Pottsvllle, Pa., thiee
years ago. There Klttery, Just budding
out as a pitcher, met a pretty ti allied
nurse, Viola by name, and she ficqucntly
cheered him as ho struck out opposing
batsmen In tho minors.
Three months ago, according to Mrs.
Fittery. her husband left her abruptly
and gavo no explanation. She Hfrnrc
out a warrant for his arrest Im
mediately, but as the Cincinnati team
has not been here since, tho wnrrant could
not be strved until today.

Today Is not ns co'd compared to con
ditions just south of the Arctic Circle,
but tho bieezo thnt came out of tho north
or wherover it came from this morning
struck Philadelphia like a blizzard blast.
The city was unprepnicd.
Two dins ago every one porsphed save
those sulllcleiitly well-to-do to hlro h

the motorcar. Yesterday the unseason
able heat abated somewhat nnd Phila

It were denounced today for keeping open
tho windows of trolley cars: the same
conductors who were inndo the butt of
sarcastic remarks two davs ago because
there was no circulation of air.
If camphor fumigates, then tho trolley
cars of this city are perfectly sanitary.
Nearly every ninn who tangoed Into a
car this morning was surrounded by a
sharp, pungent odor supposed to keep
off the Industrious moth. Men wlthchit
the camphor haze shivered violently. Tho
fumes came from tho winter garments
folk hastily donned this morning. Fur
naces that have been sleeping the long
sleep of slimmer were rudely awakened
this morning. All were covered with
Inches of soot, nnd their pipes and rusty
dSois worked badly.
Altogether, the day wns one to cheer
up tho pessimistic dcntlbt. Teeth may
not ohatter unendingly without harm.
Also the doctors looked worried and mut
tered fears for chronic-cold patients.

whither ho went a few days ago when
he icallzed the venture was a fallur.
For a while his whereabouts were a
mystery, as he had been reported In
Canada, and then in Philadelphia.
Efforts nro being made by a procesi
server for Thomas F. Calvin, a Fifth
avonuo florist, to find the Duke, so that
papers can be served on him in a suit
to incover $4M, which It Is alleged tho
Duko owes on a florist bill. Louis F.
Pearl, attorney for Gnlvln, says he
chased the Englishman for weeks be
fore ho paid 230 on account of u $721
bill. The Duke also gavo another check
for $2W, but It came back marked "no
good."
In March. 1000, the Duke mnrrlcd Miss
Helen Zimmerman, daughter of Eugene
Zimmerman, a millionaire banker and
rallioad magnate, of Cincinnati. Tho
Duko and Duchess havo passed much of
their time in England and havo
traveled a great deal. Zimmerman ar
rived In Cincinnati yesterday, and laugh
ed heartily when told his son-in-law wps
reported to have droppocJ-flCoOO.OOO of his
own money In the enterprise.
"The Duke never mentioned the matter
to me In the way of suggesting that I
Invest," rnld Zimmerman. "It Is absurd
to suppose that lie lost any such amount
in any enterprise. He did not havo it to
lose."

We chose for our route Bethlehem Pike, through Allentown, Easton, finishing at Delaware Water Can
with following results: v'
Distance, 100 miles.
Time, 6 hours 55 minutes. Lubricating oil used, 1 gallon,
- Gasoline used, 12 gallons.
Motor or car was not stopped nor was transmission out of low gear or clutch released during the entiro
distance. Figuring difference in gear ratio this equals 336 miles on high gear, or an average of 48 miles per
hour for nearly seven hours; also equaling 28 miles per gallon of gasoline, 340 miles on gallon of cylinder oil.
