HEAR A WORD WE SAY
LEANS LATEST STAR
The 150,000 club "Leans" are of
fering big money Tor information
on lean ball players. They have
secured some of the greatest
freaks on earth in the long, lank
and slender line. The latest ac
quisition is a champion—for "lean"
hut if he can play ball or not isn't
necessary. He is Yolen Y. Wil
liams, of Phoenix, B. C, who Is
known as the longest man on earth.
Y. Y. W. is 7 feet tall If an inch,
weighs 133 pounds and has a waist
measurement of 215. He has a face
like a baby and he likes highballs.
He Is 1 of tbe best known mining
experts on earth aud Is in the em
ploy of the Jay P. Graves peoplo.
WO bed ever manufactured fits
Yolen. He litis an awful time at
hotels and usually hires a suite of
rooms, with a bed In each, pulls the
beds together at the door and
sleeps all over them both.
The "Fats" and "Leans" will be
marred under the personal direc
tion of Fred H. Gaston, secretary,
«r rather "sign maker," for the
Enakops. The date for the game
is not set.
GUS KLOPF FIRED
There hasn't been any particular
demonstration in the red ft re line
•Inee tbe announcement yesterday

nt there is a general feeling of
satisfaction about it because Gus,
good enough fellow at almost all
times .doesn't get along in a ball
game and is worse than poor on
pome of his decisions.
It is stated that GUI nas been get

almost closed and be couldn't see.
"Red" Khret, who is said to have
straightened up, was resigned.

STORY OF FLORENCE SCHENCK
NEW YOHK, July 10.—"Forgive I
me, father; forgive me!" shrieked,
beautiful Florence Schenck, daugh- >
tor of Or. Powhatan S. Schenck, a
former surgeon In the United States
navy, and granddaughter of a form
er governor of Virginia; and tho
haughty father, wno iv a moment
of anger and outraged pride had
cast his daughter aside and dis
owned her, clasped the fair girl In
his arms and whispered to her the
words which made glad her tur
bulent heart.
For a tragedy had come into the
life of Florence Schenck, once the
belle of Norfolk, and she was moan
ing upon her bed Iv anguish.
She bad Just returned from Eu
rope, whither she bad gone, as she
firmly believed, she declares, as the
wife of ('has. 11. Wilton, the high
salaried trainer and manager of
young Alfred Gwynne Vandei bllt's
show horses.
After their return from abroad
Wilson scornfully cast her aside,
saying that bis true and only wife
awaited him at Oratige. N. J.
Hut what did Wilson csre fey the
future of this beautiful young wom
an, hardly out of her teens, who ac
cusses him of the basest deception?
"Well," he said, after the news
of their affair became public, "I
supposes this means the end of my
$20,000 job."
His Job —that was his first and
only thought. His Job —not the
young woman—was "all the world"
to him.

PROF. CHAS. S. HOWE IN DIAGRAM SHOWING HOW CANALS
OF MARS APPEAR THROUGH MIGHTY TELESCOPE
Will we ever speak to the peo
ple of Mars?
Prof. Chas. S. Howe, of Case
School of Applied Science, Cleve
land, and a common sense scientist,
says emphatically "Never."
He drew two eclipses on paper,
one to show" the path of the earth
and the other that of Mars.
"Now this year we are as near to
Mars as we ever get. 38,000,000
miles, and we must wait 15 years
before we get this close again," he
said.
"The most powerful telescopes
we have magnify 2,500 times. That
is equivalent to seeing over 15,000
miles with the naked eye or, in a
practical illustration, a city the
si/.e of London on Mars would
look as big as a pin point at
arm's length.
"Is Mars inhabited? So far as
climatic conditions are concerned
it might be, but astronomers have
not yet proved that it is.
"We know for a certainty that
Mars has the same seasons we
have, but her year is almost twice
as long, consisting of 687 days that
are practically the same length as
our day.

BEVERIDGE'S WEDDING DAY
BERLIN, July 16.—The marriage
of United States Senator Beve
ridge, of Indiana, and Miss Cathe
rine Eddy, of Chicago, will occur
at the American legation here Au
gust 7. It was originally planned
for the wedding to take place in
America.
MISS FLORENCE SCHENCK.
proud though ho was, aud as deeply
as he grieved for the unintentional
disgrace which his charming daugh
ter had brought iv ills fond heart,
folded the beautiful girl to his
breast, and immediately planned to
take her back to the home which
she had deserted in a moment of
misguided sentiment.
It was last October that Florence
Schenck first met Chas. H. Wilson.
He was in charge of the Vanderbilt
horses then. She was an enthusias
tic equestrienne herself, and their
friendship developed rapidly.
October 19, 1906, she declares,
they were married. Later they went
to Kit rope. Wilson denies the mar
riage but will say nothing more.
Miss Schenck declares that on 1
occasion, when they were dining
with the Vanderbilts, Mr. Vander
bilt read aloud from a newspaper
an announcement of her engage
ment to Lieut en lit Aahton, of the
United States army, and that Wil
sou became so excited he dropped
a plate onto the floor. Later, she
declares, Wilson demanded that
she cancel her engagement to Lieu
tenant Asbton, and that she did so,
becoming the "wife" of Wilson
soon after the close of tho Norfolk
horse show.
"My life is wrecked," moans
beautiful Florence Schenck; but
she is going back lo Norfolk, se
cure in the love of her proud fath
er, to face whatever embarrass
ment may confront her snd what
ever criticism there may be from
the frlonds over whom ah* once
reigned as queen.
SPOKANE PRESS, JULY 16, 19D7
I "Astronomer Perclval Lowell, at
I his observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.,
has shown by his maps that the
mountain peaks are snow-capped
in the winter, and in the spring
the water flows down the valleys
into canals that are 50 miles wide,
and then vegetation springs up.
He calls these streams canals, not
because they are artificial, but be
cause the Martian waterways run
in a straight line to the oceans in
stead of meandering, as ours do.
"Until our telescopes are In
creased in power many fold, our
determination of the physical geo
graphy of Mars are at a standstill,
but with the spectroscope much
valuable information is being ga
thered concerning her composition.
"If Mars is Inhabited, and we of
the earth should want to communi
cate with her, It would be done
with flashes of light, but this
would be unintelligent because of
want of a code, and the impossi
bility of arranging one.
"No, we will never talk with
Mars, even though we find she is
inhabited. Remember, 38,000,000
miles is a long way off."
THEY ATE 'EM ALIVE
The Columbia Theater team
went out to Natatorium park this
morning figuring they would play
ball some with the lngersoll team.
It was merely a delusion. The park
champions accumulated 19 runs

say it wasn't a very good day for
baseball either.
