Members of the Danville, Ill., Rotary clubassembled last week to behold a marvel. Awe was in every heart as a man stood among them, all unafraid, and bade an assistant fire revolver bullets at him point blank. "Blam! Blam-blam!" The Rotarians could scarcely believe their eyes as the bullets quite obviously smote their target and still he stood unhurt. The Rotarians drew closer . . . "Blam-blam!" . . . and soon three of them were writhing with pain. Baker Walter C. Spitz, Banker John Telling and Reporter H. V.

Decrees. I. Italian employers are empowered at once and until further notice to lengthen the working day of their employees by one hour, while paying them the same daily wage as heretofore. II. Italian newspapers are forbidden to print...
...that the Carnegie Institution awarded him $10,000 a year for ten years to carry on his work; 14 years since the Government turned over to him 7,680 acres of land. During his last illness (heart weakness induced by nervous strain and aggravated by gastrointestinal difficulties) he bade his gardeners toil on, and doubtless they will continue to do so, under the direction of the chartered Luther Burbank Society. Ten years ago he married his young secretary, Elizabeth J. Waters of Hastings, Mich. There were no children. To their home have come notables from every walk of life...
