NEW ORLEANS MAN HAS LINCOLN CANE New Orleans, La. (jTi The ebony cane carried by Abraham Lincoln the night he was assinatcd has come to New Orleans along with swords of Lord Nelson, the great British Admiral and Marshal Joffre, of Prance. Their owner, S. J. Shwartz, de clines to tell how he came into pos session of the Nelson and Joffre swords and explains he purchased Lincoln's cane recently from Arthur L. on Dolcke, of Charlevoix, Mich. Dolcke had received it from his father, who in turn had got it from a negro janitor of Ford's theater. An affidavit accompanying the cane relates that the janitor found it in the theater box the night Lin coln was shot and had given it to Dr. Von Dolcke, of Washington. The cane Is a straight, black ebony stick curiously carved and By DEMING SEYMOUR () Feature Service Writer) New York (,?) Broadway consid ers that It is contributing its share to the amusement and culture of the nation when 15 shows worth cheering for are on view at one time among its half a hundred playhouses. This season the Mazda Canyon can point with pride to that num ber of notable plays and hilarious musical shows without any over statement of its wares. The Forties echo with the laughter of the cus tomers 'at such comedies as "June Moon," "Strictly Dishonorable" and "It's a Wise Child;" throb with the searching tragedy of penal injus tices revealed la "The Criminal Code." thrill with the lifelike hor rors of such mystery plays as "Sub way Express," "Rope's End." and "Remote Control," and lilt with the sad or merry melodies of "Sweet Adeline," Bittersweet," and "The Street Singer." Here are some of Broadway's new toasts : Charles Butterworth. the forlorn and eager clown of "Sweet Ade line," a Notre Dame graduate who quit the practice of law to be a 'unny man. Harry Rosenthal, who pounded night club pianos around town for oars until Ring Lardner found he was just the man to play a wise cracking keyboard thumper in "June Moon." Muriel Klrkland, who was born in Yonkers but Inherited from her daddy just the sort of southern dialect, thick and smooth as a mag nolia leaf, that makes her drawled ingenuities so lovably funny in "Strictly Dishonorable." Walter Graeza, who Jumped from a Jamaica, L. I., stock troupe Into the role of the gushing radio an nouncer of "Remote Control" who disperses a bandit gang and solves a killing in a broadcasting studio. Mildred McCoy, chosen by Bel a sco to vend the uproarious come dies of "It s a Wise Child." Siegfried Rumann. who quit yo delling in a Yorkville beer garden to play notably the German ober lieutenant of "The Channel Road." Evelyn Laye, Puckish prima donna imported from London to add delight to Noel Coward s oper ette. "Bittersweet." Nor does such a summary of plays and players embrace the long list of more veteran entertainments uch surviving hits from last sea son as "Street Scene" and "Jour ney's End:" or the musical "Follow Thru." the Little Show and Earl Carrot's Sketch Book. inlaid and was treasured by the president as a gift from a group of friends. Just below the handle be hind thick glass Is "Abe Lincoln" then a carved heart and "rail split ter." Next are nine square dots representing the nine states from which slavery was abolished. Be neath is a miniature carved log cabin, a likeness of Lincoln's birth place. The Joffre sword has a gold hilt, the figure of Marianne, symbol of embattled France and bears Joffre's name and the date of 1919.

Any kind of lighted match held about an inch beneath this fixture turns on the electricity. A pocket flash will tAirn It on with equal dispatch. The light is Installed in one of the rooms of the Westinghouse Light i tig Institute in Grand Central palace. It burns only as long as the match or other light is held be neath, for it Is operated by a photo electric cell, sensitized to light, and set to turn off again as soon as the light below is removed. The lamp is installed to give vis itors ajsurprise and to suggest pos sibilities for future uses of special Iy sensitized cells. Jefferson Rex Cobb of the Rex Transfer, sprained his knee quite badly as he was unloading hay sev eral days ago and is. unable to get about. He was taken to Dr. Van Winkle's office for treatment. NEW YORKERS PAY FOR PARKING CARS New York. UP) New Yorkers have progressed by easy stages from meekly checking their hats at two bits or a dirty sneer per hat to checking their cars. For the privil ege of parking hla car during the theatre hours on any Times Square side street, the sophisticate now meekly shells out either fifty cents or one dollar. I Of course it Is Illegal. There Is no earthly reason why anyone should be able to collect parking charges on a public street. Nevertheless un der the thin guise of "car watchers" a new and profitable racket has sprung up. The Whalen traffic rules forbid any theater hour park ing in the Times Square district. Plutocarats who own their trans portation are thus compelled to abandon their vehicles blocks away, In the dimly speakeasy dis tricts. A "watcher" appears as If by magic, offering suggestions for curb-crowding with a meaning smile. Alter the theater and a long walk the car owner finds the "watcher" with a stm more mean Ing smile at the door of his fllv- ver. He customarily gives up with out a struggle. Peeksklll, N. (IP SUndlnf on a bluff commanding the Hudson River here is St. Mary's School for girls life moves tranquilly; the Sisters and their pupils go about their daily tasks freed from the hustle and bustle of ordinary life. St. Mary's is designed in medieval gothic style and it has a medieval gothic air. Yet the school has one very compelling contact with the out side world. Twice a day the Can adian Colonial mail plane wtngs its way overhead and the pilot dips and waves his hand. For Just be fore either Newark or Albany he has received weather reports from the Sisters of the school Four times a day they describe weather con ditions to the United States Wea ther Bureau. To the outsider there is some thing anomalous about weather reports coming from such a seqties trered unworldly spot. A school of this type should hardly be expect ed to be cooperating w.' i such a modern phase of life ms aviation. Yet the Sisters themselves see nothing paradoxical about it. The Duroose of our order" said one of the nuns, ts service to oth ers. The sending of daily reports rendering a service to the pilots and their passengers is a real re sponsibility; we are aware that upon our reports depends the safety of others. Consequently we endeavor to .make our reports as accurate as possible. Bartlett, Tenn. J. W. Tatura claims the shortest successful cam paign for political office on recovd 35 minutes. When the day of the mayoralty election came. Tat urn was not In the race and had no idea of becom ing a candidate. Then some of his friends sug gested that he enter. Shortly be fore noon Tatum was a candidate and after a 35-mlnute campaign he beat his single opponent, 06 to 27. The mayor gets no salary, but is city judge and receives $1 for each conviction in the court.
