Alexander's exploits Just before and
during the recent holiday season earned
her wide reputation. and she is now
known from one end Of the country 10
the other as the most successful female
thief-catcher IN the country. Indeed,
her success was so great that the gen
niness of her captures was brought into
question, and once the charge was
made that she exercised s hypnotic
influence over women which impelled
the latter 10 steal. But Miss Alexan-
der was not disturbed by these accusa-

her by their confessions, and she went
right on catching thieves with thesa1
regularity and precision that marked
her first bound into public notoriety.

SCHOOLMA'A ANS ANO POLITICS
Long Island Teachers Reduced in
Position and Compensation.
Their Loyalty TO EN-Mayor Gleason
cited as the Cause.

LONG ISLAND CRY. L. T., July ia
There is considerable comment in this
city in school circles over the refusal Of
the Board OF Education to reappolnt
Miss Kate II. McWilliams as principal
OF the Second Ward Primary School.
Miss McWilliams was principal of "A
school In this city from 1859 to 1926 She
is a sister of ex-School Commissioner
James McWilliams, who held office I'M
der ex-Mayor Gleason.
Miss McWilliams was formerly prin-
cipal of the Grammar School of the Sec
ond Ward and it is alleged that with
out reason she was removed as prinCi-
pal of the Grammar School and placed
IN the primary school. and at the same
time her salary was reduced from ST. 200
to $3.50 per year.
Commissioner Kennedy says Miss Me
Williams Is incompetent This is denied
by Miss McWillams' friends. wnD say
she has n State school license to teach
and also d Principals license from Long
Island City. They say that the reason
she was not reappointed was because her
brother was a Gleason man.
Another case where politics is alleged
10 have Influenced the Board Is that Of
Miss Monica Ryan. When Mayor San
ford came into office she was receiving
salary of 81 200 per year which was cut
friends went before the Board and tried
TO get her salary raised TO $1,000 They
were unsuccessful
1t is alleged that the reason Miss
Ryan's salary was cut was because she
was a warm friend of eN-Mayor Gleason.

PASSAIC, n. j., July 13.--Mrs. Eu-
gera Knaepel thrty-ive years old,
widow of a well-known blacksmith, has
been released, upon her own recogni-
zance. pending inquiry into the facts Of
her arrest on a charge of burglary.
The woman is tremendously strong
and conducted her husbands business
FOR six months after his death, when
she leased the shop to Daniel Her
shopp. The latter has been missing
tools since. and suspected Mrs. Knaepcl
of taking them. A search warrant was
procured, but Constable HEWITT, Lawyer
kilgour and Heershopp, who tried to
serve 1t, took to the woods before the
irate Amazon's Colts revolver.
An hour later Mrs. knaepel was get
ting water from a brook, when HEWITT
sprang upon her and made her a pris-
oner. She was handcuffed and dragged
to Paterson, protesting that she was
being treated shamefully.
Judge Hopper agreed with her. and
the attacking party will have an oppor-
tunity to explain.

Judge Hudspeth Scores Convicted
Hudson County Justices.
Tells Them They Are Unfit TO Hold
Their Honorable Offices.

There were many officials and politi-
clans in the Hudson County Courtroom,
Jersey city, to-day when Henry Mar
tincH, William Il. Wilson. Winfield 3.
Weed and Peter Beck, all Justices of the
Peace, of Hudson County. were ar
raign"d on indictments accusing them
of eXtorton. The defendants had either
recn convicted or pleaded non vult to
the indictments. which aggregated thir-
teen in number All of the indictments
grew out of the action of the Justices in
umlawfully accepting fees for services
rendered in criminal cases.
Justices Martinez and Wilson, when
brought before Presiding Judge Huds-
pcth. were told by the Court that it was
evident that they were unfit to hold the
honorable Offices which the people had
intrusted to them, and that the Court,
before passing sentence, would give
them until next Thursday to resign
from office. The defendants were given
to understand that if they resigned they
would get off with a light sentence.
In the cases of Justices Weed and
Beck, the Court said that ii was evident
that the defendants did not intend to
commit a wrong, and he let them off
each with a fine Of 81 and costs.
