SURF RIDING POPULAR
AS HAWAIIAN SPORT,
W CASPER PEOPLE
An Interesting account of life in
Hawaii is contained in a letter re
cently received here from Ernest
Marquardt who with His wife Is
bound for Australia. Excerpts from
this letter follow:
"The most popular of Hawaiian
sports is surf riding or heenalu. In
this sport the swimmers use a light
board made of koa. With these they
swim out to sea diving under the
rollers which they meet until they
reach the outer line of breakers.
Then, lying flat on their boards, they
balance themselves upon the forward
slope of the highest breaker, and
ride with the speed of a race horse
toward the shore.”
In order to go ashort at Honolulu,
Mr. Marquardt says it was neces
sary for the passengers of the ship
to have their shoes dipped in a dis
infectant to ward off possibility of
the foot-and-mouth disease entering
the Island.
A number of Hawaiian Institutions
were visited by the Marquardts be
fore resuming their journey to the
vorient.

Chemist Shows Clemency
To Animals in Carrying
Out Poison Test on Wife
By ROBERT T. SMALL
(Copyrigh, 1924, Casper Tribune)
NEW YORK, April 30.—T00 kind
hearted to try his experiments on
rabbits or guinea pigs, Clarence O.
Baring, amateur chemist, is believed
to have fed arsenic and dlptherla
and pneumonia germs to his 46 year
old wife. The amateur chemist Is
39. He and his wife have quarreled
much because she believed he was
paying attention to younger women.
Now she is charging him with at
tempted murder.
White Plains, where the couple
live, is very much wrought up over
the case which promises to be one
of the strangest with which the au
thorities have had to deal. White
Plains is in West Chester county,
and West Cheater county is to New
York what Hollywood has often
been to Los Angeles. The county
can generate more queer criminal
tangles than all of the other metro
politan suburbs put together.
It was in West Chester that
young Walter 8. Ward, son of the
millionaire baker of this city, shot
and killed Clarence Peters, the ex
marine. and the county spent some
thing like 380,000 in a fruitless at
tempt to convict him. Then came
the case of Mrs. Charles Webb, who
died last September at the fashion
able West Chester-Biltmore Coun
try club, and whose friends accused
her husband of having been crim
inally responsible through the tadmin
istratlon -of strong antlseptiq solu
tions. Mr. Webb was promptly ex
onerated by the grand jury and his
wife's >2.000,000 will was decided In
his favor.
Next followed Rhe drowning of
Angler Duke, who in the midst of a
merry party, fell out of a launcfi.
He came up under a yacht club float
and could not fight his way out to
clear water again.
On top of all this comes the queer
Baring case. In New York City
Mr. Baring, a pale, thin, undersized
man with big spectacles Is a man
ufacturer's agent, handling the pro
ducts of the Minneapolis Heat Reg
ulator company—for many years
known os a successful business man.
At his home in West Chester
county, Mr. Baring was very much
the recluse. He had a laboratory in
his home and spent most of his
spare time over test tubes, spirit
lamps, rubber stoppered bottles and
all the queer paraphernalia of the
chemists shop. He was byway of
being an Inventor also, having per
fected a thermostat and an Incu
bator. It was a chicken Incubator,
but the authorities allege now that
the amateur chemist also was incu
bating deadly disease germs. Be
ing of the experimental turn jof
mind, he Is said to have wanted to
im just what there was to the germ
theory, any way.
Mr. Baring was very fond of ani
mals, according to those about him,
and they sny his sensitive nature
would have rebelled at the thought
of vivisection or torturing the help
less creatures usually used bv scien
tists for their experiments. Both of
the Barings are described aa neu
rotics. Mrs. Baring having been un
der the care of physicians for the
greater part of her adult life. Both
also are described as Independently
wealthy In their own rights, Mrs.
Baring recently having come In for
an added fortune which makes her
probably the richer of the two .
The accused man's attorney today
said his client would have a "strange
but complete” defense to the charges
of poisoning and the administering
of germs. Baring's mother, Mrs.
Walter Stroud of Baltimore, who has
arrived at White Plains, also declares
that her san was innocent of any in
tent actually to harm his wife. Bar.

day that state troopers discovered
the culture tubes alleged to have
contained dlptheria and pneumonia
germs.
Just where Baring obtained the
germs Is one of the unsolved phases
of the case as yet. Baring Is said
to have worked In his laboratory un
til he became "nervous and fidgety”
and It Is said his experiments may
have upset him temporarily, Induc
ing him to try his theories out on
his wife.

Basis of Appeal
Advertising is not just a recita
tion of the details regarding a num
ber of things some one wishes to
dispose of.
Advertising is the connecting up
of a wanted thing or service with
a responsible human chord.
Advertising is not just publicity
but it must make a positive appeal
to a necessity, a love of beauty,
an increased convenience, a desire
for pleasure, comfort, etc.
Advertising is service offering;
none the less so that the service
yields a profit to the merchant
who serves.
Leading merchants advertising
in the Tribune offer this com
munity their great services in that
they have provided a menu of the
latest and best of the creation of
the world's industries.

GREAT JUUGES OF ENGLAND
REVIEWED BY RINER; COURT
CONGESTION RELIEF SOUGHT
"The Five Greatest Judges of.
England” formed the basis of a
scholarly and entertaining address
delivered by Judge William A. Riner
before the members of the Natrona
County Bar association which held
its monthly meeting at the Hen
ning hotel yesterday evening. Dis
cussion of possible methods to do
away with the congestion in dis
trict court here and discussion of a
minimum fee schedule for lawyers
were the topics of the business ses
sion which followed Judge Riner's
talk.
Judge Riner took Sir Edward
Coke, Sir Mathew Hale, Sir. John
Holt, William Murray, Earl of Mans
flnld, and Lord Ellenborough as
those whom he considered the
greatest of the British magistrates.
His speech was enlightening not
only on the public policies of the
men but also on their private life-
He gave his hearers Intimate
glimpses that made for a ready
understanding of the character of
the men of whom he spoke.
It was found that the minimum
fee schedule did not meet with the

AT THE JUDGMENT’
Dr. Ray Palmer preached to a
fine congregation Tuesday evening,
at the Emmanual Baptist church
I revival.
Several cam® forward to confess
Christ and one united for baptism.
The choir and Booster band did
excellent singing. Dr. Palmer took
for his text, Jer. 13:21, “What Wilt
thou say, when He shall punish
thee?” The preacher said in part:
“Will you tell God, at the judg
ment, that you did not believe in
hell? and that that was the reason
you had never become a Christian?
"No, you never will. A lady em
ployed an artist to paint her hus
band's picture, but she came to the
fctudlo, day after day, making many
suggestions as to how she wanted
the picture painted. The artist re.
fused to put his name on th e paint
ing. The lady asked him why? He
answered: “Madam, that is not my
ideal of a painting. You would not
lot me have my way. You
that I should paint the picture ac
cording to your ideal and now if
you want anybody's name there, you
may put your own, but I would not
put my name on that painting, for
a thousand dollars!
