several occasions to marry him. She al

age, but they remained firm friends and

Mrs. Angle said she obtained a divorce
from her husband on grounds of deser

Tho witness was greatly affected while
testifying about the friendship casting
between herself and Hallou, nnd more
than once held her handkerchief to her

mental strain by clasping and unclasping
her hands.
Mrs. Angle lost complete control of her
self when she described tho events of tha
night of June 23 last, when Ballou met his
death. She said that Hallou had called
her on the telephone and later visited
her, leaving the house at 10:30. While at
Mrs. Angle's apartments Ballou had some
drinks.
"After he left I heard sounds upon the
stairway, and a little later I ventured to
open my door and look out," said the
witness. "I saw no one there and went
and looked over tha balustrade. I saw a

ANGRY MOKEMACHER ONIONS
PREDICT TWO SNOWSTORMS
They Bristle Savagely in Self-Defense as First Flakes
Fall, Fulfilling Part of Weather Seer's Prophecy.
"Furlousest batch o' onions I ever did
see." remarked Old Simeon M. Moke
macher In a gloating tono of voice this
morning as he danced through his hidden
garden patch a few miles outside Anda
lusia and began to murmur soothingly
to his trained onions. -The vegetables
were bristling savagely at the first of
the three snowstorms predicted some time
ago by Mr, Mokemacher.
"There's one," was the first remark
made by Mr. Mokemacher when he poked
his head out the door of his cabin and
saw the feaUiery Hakes falling. There's
one; 'n' there's to be two more, Just as
sure as my middle name is M
The bent old man buddenly blushed
through tha cbat of wind tan and re
turned to the onions. Something in his
hesitation aroused the suspicions of the
reporter, who had forced hljs way through
the dense thicket of saplings and under
brush hiding the garden.
"What la .your middle name, Mr. Moke
macher?" he Inquired.
The weather prophet, who tells when It
Is going to snow by the bristles on hU
trained onions, which etand up and wave
furiously In self-protection while the
storm Is on, did not answer at once. lis
was on his knees with the magnifying
glass, solicitously watching the angry
vegetables. Mr. Mokemacher says he la
devoting his life to jthe discovery of the
link between animal and vegetable life,
and In this he nnds onions the most re
sponsive for research.
Never mind about my middle name. '
he said, digging ths dirt out of the cuffs

Producers of Films Allege
Undue Impositions of
Hardships on Them, Fa
voritism and Improper
Exercise of Power.
The long-expected break between tho
motion plsture moi of this state and city
and the state censor, J. I.ouis Breltlnger, ,
has come to pass and. If the mood ffof
the Mm men docs not change, there will j
bo a battle royal which will end In a
round loblu to the Governor, requesting
the removal of the tensor.
Tho llfht, which has been going on
quietly for many months, broke unexpect
edly this morning, when Arthur Lucas,
district manager of the Mutual Film Cor
poration, sent a letter to Mr. Breltlnger,
refusing hereafter to pay the pro-rata
expenses of the censor's ofllce In this city.
In order that the situation, which Is com
plex, may bo understood, It will be nec
essary to go back to the Institution of the
censor's ofllce in June of last year.
The statute under which Mr. Breltlnger
took office permits tno censor to charge
J2 50 for each and every (Urn examined,
the expense of such censoring to come
out of the funds thus collected. When
Mr. Ureltlngcr took office he called n
meeting of the film men, and declared
that he would have ull films examined In
Harrlsburg, although every film shown
in this State comes through the Phila
delphla exchangee. Tho exchange men
explained to tho censor that this would
work undue hardship on them. Involve
extra expense for cxpressage to and from
Harrlsburg and would delay the showing
of tho Alms. Mr. Breltlnger declared
that ho would view the films In this city
If the film men would get a suitable room
for projection. Thli they did.
For a few weeks all went smoothly,
and then Mr. Breltlnger, so tho exchange
men assert, demanded a special censor
ing room. He said the State would fur
nish the room, but that the exchange
men would have to pay pro rata for every
film examined.
So n room was hired nt 13th and roe
streets, at $75 si month. Robert W. need,
a brother-in-law of Mr. Breltlnger. was
Installed as clerk and three operators
wero hired at wages said to be In excess
of tho prevailing rate.
Then, according to the exchange men,
other employes were engaged, and the
monthly bills mounted steadily. The pro
rata bills for July. August, September
and October of last year were paid with
out question. Then came the first revolt.

Why should I tell It?" Mokemacher
wears cuffs on his trousers because once,
when he was a boy, he dropped a t't
gold piece from his coat pocket and It
was caught in the cuffs. Later he found
It Just when he had worked- up nn
appetite for cream puffs and didn't think
he had any money.
He remained obdurate as to his middle
name today for some time, but finally no
consented to explain why he would not
tell It.
"My revered parents," he began, "had
an altercation shortly after my birth, I
have been reliably Informed. Father
wanted my middle name to be Reginald,
but mother wouldn't hear of It, Finally
she got so angry that she gave me the
middle name of a certain vicious biblical
character, merely to spite father, I ahall
not reveal It, why should l"
Mr. Mokemacher began a careful and
systematic study of tho smaller onions in
his patch. After a time he looked up and
declared that his prediction of three snow
storms would stand. "There'll be two
more." he said, "ere the winter ends.
Even the little fellows are road todn
The hair's standing up on 'em like bristles
on an Infuriated canine. You mark my
words, young man, two more snowstorms
ere the winter ends. Furlousest batch o

Mr. Mokemacher then pointed out that
Mr. Bliss, the oniclal weather forecaster,
hadn't been able to foretell the snow
storm Of today until a few hours befor
It happened.
"I told you." he added, "mors'n two

PALMER APPOINTED
JUSTICE OF FEDERAL
COURT' OF CLAIMS
Former Representative, a
Staunch Friend of the
President and Leader of
Pennsylvania Reorganiza
tion Democrats.
A. MITCHELL PALMER
Formally named by President to
day as Justice of the United
States Court of Claims.
WASHINGTON, March 10. President
Wilson today named ex-Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer, ot Pennsylvania, to be
Justice of tho United States Court of
Claims.
This appointment Is the second that
President Wilson lias offered to tho Penn
sylvania Democratic leader. At tho time
he was t-clectlng his Cabinet. Mr. Wil
son Is understood to have asked Mr. Pal
mer to become one of his advisers. Mr.
Palmer cared only for tho Department of
Justice portfolio, and that could not be
given him because the President had
offered the place to Mr. McReynolds, who
had accepted.
Mr. Palmer has been one ot the Presi
dent's closest friends nnd supporters In
the House, and Is credited with having
had much to do with the nomination of
Sir. Wilson at the Baltimore convention.
Thero Is no certainty that Mr. Palmer
will be promptly confirmed by tho Sen
ate. A member of the Judiciary Commit
tee In the Senate Bald last night that not
In recent years until this present Admin
istration was a. Judge appointed during a
recess.
Mr. Palmer may encounter opposition
because of his activity in the pardo.i
cases of the convicted International Lum
ber and Development Company officials.
This activity ot F. U Slildons. then a
District of Columbia commissioner, In a
pardon ense nearly caused his defeat for
confirmation for the District Supreme
Court bench. He wns confirmed by a
scant majority of two.
Past administrations have abstained
from making recess appointments of Fed
eral Judges on the ground that theio
might be embarrassment to appointees
and litigants If nominations should fall of
confirmation later, in case Mr. Palmer
Jakes the place he would serve nine
months without the Senate acting upon
his nomination. If he should fall of con
firmation his Ceclslons would be null and
void.
Mr. Pnlmer election to the bench
would remove him from, the sphere of
politics In which he has been, active since
his entrance Into public life. He was .i.l
vised against accepting a Judicial post ny
reorganizes among the Pennsylvania
Democrats, who said that his retirement
at this time would plunge the Democrats
Into a bitter partisan battle.
The National Coinmltteema,n will be

NEW YORK, March 16,-Harry IC
Thaw was ordered back to Matteawun
todnv Holding thnt tho mandate of tin
Supremo Court of tho United States did
not hold good now that his trial for con
spliacy wns over; Justlco Page In the
Supreme Court, todny, denied the motion
of Hurry K. Thaw's attorneys to have
him returned to New Hampshire.
Tho Justice snld that tho Dowllng com
mitment was still In effect which sent ths
slayer of Stanford White to Mnttcawan
and ordered him to return to tho nsylura.
To protect his client against a possible
adverse decision, however, John B.
Stunchlleld, counsel for Thaw, had forti
fied himself with a writ of habeas corpus
prior to Justlco Pago's decision. The
writ, obtained from Justlco BIJur, of the
Supreme Court, automatically t ays the
order of Justlco Page. Tho writ Is re
turnable on March 19, and la tho result of
the expected move of Thaw's lawyers
should Justlco Pago refuse to allow him
to return to New Hampshire or order his
recommitment to Matteawan.
Thaw was placed In tho custody of ths
sheriff and taken to tho Tombs, where lis
will be held until he appears before Jus
tice BIJur next Friday morning.
Justice Page made It clear In his ruling
that the State of New i'ork had shown
no lack of good faith. The Indictment
nnd the trial on the conspiracy charges
were regular and wero carried through, h
ruled. He declared, however, that rhe
Stnio's right to return Thaw to Mat-
i teawan Is unquestioned. He asserted
, that ns Thaw Is an escaped prisoner from

York does not make any difference In the
case, he ruled.
SUNDAY PLEADS FOR
VIGOR IN RELIGION
Times Demand New Blood and
Vitality in Devotion to God,
Says Evangelist.
Originality in prayer nnd In religious
methods wan urged by "Billy" Sunday
when he mounted the platform In the tab
ernacle this afternoon and started his
last week's service with a stirring Ber
mon on "The Conversion of Saul."
"Some people nre so busy doing other
things that they have no time for new
I prnycis. They use tho
old stereotyped
ones that uon i mean
anything to the
Lord." he said.
"Billy" urged his hearers to remember
that, us foltowora of Christ, they are ex
pected to work for the Master nnd to bs
ready to serve Him at nil times. He
caused much laughter when he suld:
"Vou won't bo ready to get on the job
for Him If He calls you when you nre
at some brldgo or whist party, at some,
ueor guzzlo or wine sizzle."
He llred this broadside nt the church
people when he wns telling how Ananias
had been asked by the Lard to go to
tlir house of Judas on tho street called
"Straight" nnd UBk for Saul.
"Ananias was on the Job," he declared,

I-ord wouldn't choose him for this task."
No person should expect to reap any
thing but what they sow, Sunday shouted.
Tha evangelist said In part:
"Cod can do gieat things with little
people. With a worm He can thresh a
mountain if it will hold still.
"We must leap what we sow, Paul
had to suffer for Christ, but lie was only
reaping what ho had sown, for he had
compelled others to suffer because of
their faith In Jesus. The dovll does much
of his deepest plowing with religious
hato, Making worlds Is little more than
stringing beads when compared to the
conversion of Paul; nnd don't forget that
Paul never backslid, ills life's motto
was, 'This ono thing I do.' "
