compiled today by the National House

the boycott on high-priced eggs, has cost
dealers thousands of dollars. (
New York, generally speaking, continued
-.. eggless today. The price has been forced
N elown four cents by the boycott so far, and
It Is expected to go much lower at the
end of another eggless week.
Reports that a boycott on butter was
to go Into effect as soon as the egg boy
cott Is ended met with general denials., .
"A butler boycott.!' said Mrs. Jullsp
Heath, originator of 4he boycott Idea. "Is
impractical at this time. What we are go

to force Congress to take off the federal

Resignation
QUIT FOR BIGGER JOB
By M'LISS
Dr. Christopher It. lllnckall did not re
sign the chief editorship of tho thirty-five
publications of the American lluptlst
Society, which position he has held for tho
past fifty years.
"Indeed not! However did the rumor get
about?"
If It hadn't been fof tha humorous (licit
tho veteran editor gavo to his eyelash,
I'd havo gonu away believing myself to
have been entirely misinformed. Hut noma
people's ayehuihes nro wonderfully expres
sive and so I waited.
"Yes," said Doctor Illackall In the noxt
breath, "Dr. W. lidwanl ItAfferty Is now tho
editor-in-chief of the publications." Ho
swlveled around tnntnllxlnxjly In his chnlr
and stnred out the window of his office at
Seventeenth and Chestnut streets,
"And no people havo said that I re
signed," he mused, "Thoy probably thought
that because I wnn eighty-six last Septem
ber tho work was getting Ion heavy for
me.'' Ho laughed a hearty, round liumli.
"Well, Isn't that funny, Im mild," anil you
know tho fact la that I Just couldn't remain
rdltor-ln-chlef becauso l'o got a blggor,
more comprehenslvn work to do. Hut I
didn't resign, I merely relinquished tho
duties of that ofllco to accept tho position
of editor cmerltuti for llfo with which thn
American Baptist Society has recently
honored me, so as to glvn mo plenty of time
la do work that simply has got to bo
done."
The work that simply hrn got to bo dono
Js, Indeed, big and comprehensive, It Is
to wrlto tho history of the Sunday Hrjinol
movement In the United Slates froin tho
tlmo of Its acorn stngo to Its present
mighty oak proportions. The International
Sunday School Association, In recognition
if tho more than fifty years' scrvlca that
Doctor lllnckall has given tn the study and
organization of the Sunday Hcliool, has
"branded" him ns the only man competent
to perform the monumental 'fc.it.
Tlmo wns when the youngster had tn ha
bribed to get him to go to, tho Hunilay
school class. It was an ordeal attended by
tears nnd protestations. Now, ask nny
modern Sunday school tonchar, nnd hIio
will tall you tha children loo It Shu will
also tell you, If sha known anything of thn
history of tho work sha Is engaged In, that
Dr, Christopher It. Illackall Is responsible,
In large measure, for this rhnngo of atti
tude toward tha classes, Tha clement of
Individual Interest has been Introduced. An
appeal to every age and class has been In
jected Into the Hunday school sessions
innd-plles for the klndergnrtners: social
roKtiyitiea (or tno older net.
"I believe In fitting thu Sundny-ochool
class to the Individual, not tho Individual to
the class," Doctor Illackall said In explana
tion. Another Interesting belief of this Inter
esting man Is that Mary Magdalene, whom
even tho dictionaries churnctcrlxo ns an un
chasto woman nnd wliono vory name hnu
como to stand for nil that In wicked In
womanhood, was In reality good, Tho
worst that can be said about hnr, In Doc
tor uiacxairs opinion, is tlint sua was rich.
For tho rest there la absolutely no Justlflca.
tlon, he holds, and Is writing a book to vin
dicate her after her 3000 years of vilifi
cation, "Let him that In without sin cast
the first stone,"'wus undoubtedly said about
some bad woman, Doctor Illackall Is con
vinced, but to have pinned It onto Mary
Magdatener Is cruelly unfair.
This youthful octogenarian, who has not
resigned and won't havo It said that ho
has, was born In Albany and started his
uarocr n oooHDinacr. it is bis proud
boast, too, that ha wns the first man In
tho State of New York to fling out the
banner of prohibition nnd that nt eighteen

For several months past all Federal
dope prisoners have been lodged In the
Camden County Jail pending trial. It Is
welt known that the prisoners. If druir

and It has been rumored In the Tenderloin
that several well-known peddlers would be
successful In running- the Jail blockade.
An Internal revenue agent explained, to

supply thn dope prisoners with drugs could
make a smalt fortune In a. short time. It

They started down the road and came
upon n ntnlled nutomobll. Just as they
were deciding to "stick-up" the occupants
of the car another machine whirled Up, two

members of the Telper party. Tho man,
Recording to Itomero, said ho nnd his "pal"

nnd her daughter Ornce struck down, saw
Kred Tolper killed, and finally saw tho as

fense, said that tho mysterious pcrsonnge Is
now thought to be cooking In a lumber
camp near PVrt Ilrngg, Cnl., and search Is

a farce under the present contractors' rule
"'Oo ahead and don't pay' has been the
slogan for years," he said, "We hate sown
the wind and are reaping a whirlwind.
"Wa are told that the cleaning of the
streets will cost (1.000,000 moro In 1(17
than In 1910," Mr Illankenburg said. "In
spite of this astounding Increase the fact
remains that contractors hold the whip
hand. Street cleaning la dearer, but are
our streets nny cleaner?" he asked with
emphasis.
Mr. Illankenburg pointed out the City
Treasurer's records would show he had
saved the city 16,000.000, and called atten
tion to tha lata "Councils' bosses' " sneer
ing question, "Where Is that IS.00O.O0OT'
Hn said the answer was that If you save
JG, 000, 000 It does not follow It can be
found In the vaults; but If you wssto that
amount In excessive contracts and other
"shady operations" that Is money that
should bn found In the vaults, though the

to do so,

The present State-wide Insurnnce scandal

we need some new Insuranco laws
What weve lead lately haj shown that

Noblemen to Decide if Teddy
Slingsby Is Heir of Vast
Estates
COURTS HAVE DISAGREED
LONDON, Deo. 1. A curly headed little
boy waits at the austere portals of the Brit
ish HnUv of Lords today to learn whether
he Is the penniless foundling of a San Fran
cisco by-streat or heir to British estates
and an Kngllsh country gentleman.
Ho Is 'Teddy" (Charles Hugens LMwnrd)
Slingsby, a California six-year-old, who has
been buffeted nbout between 360,000 a year
and penniless namnlessnesa ever since ho
oama Into tho world.
Mr. nnd Mrs Charles Henry Reynard
Slingsby, of San Francisco, who claim to
be Teddy's father and mother, my Teddy
Is entitled to tha Yorkshire entata of his
alleged grandfather, tha late Rev. Charles
Hllngsby, The Itev. Mr. Slingsby willed his
estate to "tha first malo heir" born to nny
nf hla children.
The British Court of Probate nnd Dlvorco
on Fobruary 4, 1916, decreed Teddy tho true
non and heir of Mr. and Mrs. C II. R.
Hllngsby. C. II 1L Slingsby In 1900 mar
rled Mrs. Dorothy Morgan Warner, a Ken
tucky society widow.
C. H. R Sllngsby's two younger broth
ers, Thomas William nnd Alan Peter
Hllngsby, respectively, had contested the
claim of the C II. R. .Sllngsbys thnt Teddy
was their non. They claimed nnd made a
long court fight to pi ova that Teddy wns
the son of Lillian Anderson, n Han Fran
cisco schoolgirl, nnd whh taken by tho C.
It R Sllngsbys ns their son, so he could
claim the lorkshlro estate They produced
from a San Francisco neuspnper what they
claimed wns an advertisement placed
therein by MrB Slingsby advertising for a
new-born bnby.
When tho Probata nnd Divorce Court de
cldod ngalnst the two brothers they took
their caso to the Court of Appeals, which
on March 14, 1916, reversed the lover court
and declnred Teddy not the son of the C.
II. R. Sllngsbys and not entitled to the
estate
JUHtlce Bargrnvo, dean of tho lower court,
had decided In favor of Teddy largely be
cause ho had a peculiarly shaped Jaw Ilka
C II R. Sllngsby's, and nn oddly formed
ear. like Mra. Hlmgsby's, The Court of
Appeals evidently did not think that way.
The C. II R. Sllngsbys then nppealed to
tho Housa of Lords, which granted a ntay
until today becauso of the nppellantn' lack
of funds. Tho case may possibly bo fur
ther continued todny, but It Is likely the
hearings will proceed.
Meantime Toddy waits, cither "prince
or pauper."

BARON'S PLANE MISSING
No Trace of Machine Owned by
Former Alsociato of Hunted
Airman
Mrs. Harvey W, Kays, winsome wife ot
the aviator, who, aha says, quit this city
with a woman with "hypnotlo" eyes ana .
left his fellow airman, Bsron von Flgyel
messy, In the lurch by hiding ths Baron's
IS000 plane, today related the tato of her
husband's severance of dome'stlo ties.
Her husband, .declared Mrs. Kays, was
addicted to tha use pf "dope," but drugs
proved no more a fascination to him than
women. Ills crnvlng for "dope" Is blamed
by Ills wife on his weakness for women.
'The baron waa hurt saveral years ago,
when flying at Lewes, Del.," said Mrs. Kays,
at her home, 6444 Baltimore avenue. "He
stayed In the hospital thero tlireo months.
Harvey Insisted on remaining there with
htm nnd grew to llko n nurse nt tha hos
pital. OPIUM FOR BARON
"When thero was no placs else for the
pair to go, they would go to tho baron's
room, where the nurse would give htm
some opium to make him sleep, so they
could 'spoon.'"
Kayk finally droppo&flls nffalr with the
nurse, she said, but through her had
learned regularly to use drugs.
"I understand thnt ho wn thrown out of
a colored den downtown, where he had been
using 'yen-hok,'" she said, "but I never
knew that he really used It. Now that t
know. It Is easy to see the real reason why
he appeared to be so deathly 111 nt times."
MET WOMEN ON TRIP
Lost spring, said Mrs. Kays, when the
Baron nnd Kays wero returning from New
York Kays picked up an acquaintance wltn
Josephine Giordano, the woman with whom
he Is now supposed to havo left the city.
Drugs by thla time hnd weakened his
strength to combat tho forces that wero
pulling him nway from his home. He
made excuses to stay away whllo In town
on tha pretext that work nt .League' Island
demanded his attention. Ho waa seldom
home
Mrs. Kays she sho bore It all patiently.
"For tho sake of tho children," Bhe ex
plained this morning, Tho youngest of tho
four children Is but two months old ; Its
father has never seen It Ho was nway
whon tho child wns born nnd, although
home sevaral tlme since Its birth, gava
tho excuse of being "busy" to avoid see
ing It.
Drugs downed the finer Instincts, sh
said, and resulted In his leaving with tho
Woman with "hypnotlo eyos."
Mrr. Kay said she would not say wheth
er she would take her husband back when
he cnmo. Wnrrants havo been sworn out
for the pair, but she Is willing to talk ths
question of reconciliation over with him
for tho benefit of their children,
"I don't see how ho can ntay away much
longer," uho said, "ns ho Is spending money
llko n millionaire, thinking nothing of giv
ing $20 to a waiter for a tip."
Sho does not believe that the Baron's
expensive plane Is out of town, reasoning
that It la stilt In n hangar or shed In tha
c.ty.
RULING AGAINST STATE
IN MARSHALL'S TRIAL
Court Excludes Testimony Tend
ing to Show Child Was
Abused by Somebody
KASTON, Md., Dec. I. Testimony re
garding the physical condition of Grace
Marshall wna excluded by Judges Adktns
nnd Hopper today In the trial of tho girl's
father nnd stepmother. Mr. nnd Mrs. Frank
Marshall, for nBsaultlng her with Intent to
kill. The ruling, which favored the Mar
shalln, followed a determined effort by the
Stnte to Introduce testimony along tkla
line.
States Attorney Butler .spoke of soma
testimony wh.ch he previously offered touch-.
Ing the condition of Grace Marshal when
Hhe was rescued from her father's home by
Miss Davis ono year ago and her physical
condition today nnd which tho court re
fused to admit,
Mr. Butler said that ordlnnrlly the prose
cuting witness would be Orace Marshall her
self, but her mental condition was such
that she could not be put upon the stand,
nnd he quoted Underbill on criminal law
find evidence to show that testimony show
ing the Improvement In Grace's condition
since her rescue was admissible. He fur
ther Btuted that her mind wua a blank
when sho was rescued, but now sha some
times rends letters to he,r aunt, showing;
that by good treatment she would fully
regain her mental faculties. ,
Judge Hopper sa,ld no evidence that tho
fitnto could produce showing Improvement
In her physical or mental condition would
tend to show that Mrs. Marshall or her
father In their treatment of her had any
criminal Intent upon her life.
As several doctors whom the State want
ed to call were operatlnr nt the hospital
here, the cqut took a rcesa for an hour
or two.
