STOLE AT THE HOLLAND HOUSE.
A PORTER TRAPPED BY MEANS OF MARKED
MONEY.


Joseph Kelly twenty-three years old. who said
that he lived at No 1873 East Thrtieth-st. was ar
ra,ened In the Jefferson Market Court yesterday by
Policeman Croker OF the West Th!rtieth-st station
on charge Of larceny preferred by F. w Harrl-
man. superintendent Of the Holland House.
Mr. Hartman told Magistrate Crane that Kelly
had been employed for some time at the Holland
House as night porter. About month ago. patrons
of the hotel began TO complain that small amounts
OF money were being stolen from the change pockets
OF coats that they checked. AS several men were
working in the checkroom. the hotel people were un-
able TO detect the thief until Friday. when Mr..
Hartman placed s1l5 in marked money In the
pocket OF an overcoat which Of the guests
checked.
Yesterday morning the money was gone. and each
Of the men who had been In the checkroom In the
course Of the night called to the Office and
searched The money found In Kely's pockets.
Policeman Croker Of the West Thirtieth-st station.
was called In and arrested Kelly. Kelly made no
defence and Magistrate Crane held him for trial In
$500.
After the case had been disposed Of. Edward C..
Harley the hotel detective. who had come to court
as a witness attempted to leave the court. AS he
had not been called TO testify and had been in
judicous enough to stand on the line with tle
prisoners for moment. he was not allowed 10 cave
the court. as II was suspected that he was prison
attempting 10 escape. He protested that he was
detective, but as everybody In the case had leit
the court he could get no one to corroborate his
statement. He taken TO Acting Sergeant Camp
Hartman could be summoned When Mr.. Hartman
arrived he Identified him. and after the usual amount
OF red tape the detective allowed to leave the
court. He was extremely angry at the court on

CAPTAIN DEVERY'S FUTURE.

THE COMMISSIONERS WILL PROBABLY ASSIGN
HIM TO A PRECINCT IN DAY OR TWO
Police Captain William g. Devery. who was ac-
quilted In the Criminal Branch OF the Supreme
Court on Friday, may be placed In command OF a
precinct In few days. At the District-Attorney's
office yesterday II said that the remaining In
dictments against him probably would be dis
missed. Devcry has been drawing full pay while
he has been suspended from duty since June of
last year. when ne was reinstated by the courts
The Commissioners in 1894 tried and dismissed him
on the charge OF receiving bribes from keepers OF
dfsorderly houses. but he did not appear at the
trial. and his counsel presented evidence that no
was too Ill to appear. The courts reinstated him
on the ground that he tried illegally. Captain
Cross was reinstated on the ground that the testi
mony Of the women who appeared against Devery
was moi worthy OF belief, and for that reason It Is
doubtful II the present Commissioners will place
Deyery on trial on the old charges
President Roosevelt said yesterday that Devery
doubtless would be restored TO duty. and the ques-
ton Of his retral would be considered later: Com
missioner Grant said that II Devery had been
wrongfully accused i was hight that no snoud be
restored to his position. Commissioner Parker Is
said to Be friendly to Devery The cost OF Deverys
defence several trials II said to have been enor-

A firm Of lawyers In Shelbyvile. Ill. writes to
"The Chicago Legal News" making complaint
which many country lawyers have privately uttered
concerning the manner in which collection agencies
and wholesale merchants endeavor to obtain in
formation concerning the standing Of business men
without making any compensation. long list OF
questions Is sent to the lawyer as to tho financial
condition of n local business man or firm. and he is
expected 10 answer In detail. II he makes full and
courteous reply he may at some time receive from
the collection agent some account against the PER-
son concerning whom inquiry Is made. or against
some other local business lirm. Even then his fec
is restricted and he Is compelled to pay part OF
It to the collection agency. He is mportuned to pay
sums Of money to place his name on Lists published
by commercial agencies. and usually he receives
little business In return. The hard-workng coun-
try lawyer frequently resorts to advertising meth
DDS which the New York lawyer either dis1ans
considers Improbable. and in return he is bescged
by credit and business agencies. The particular
complaint which was made In this case arises from
the conduct OF the agents and the attorneys for
Wholesale houses who. IL the claim is sufficiently
large or they obtain free transportation. to
the place where the debtor lives and endcnvor to
collect the claim themselves. instead OF sending II

South Park Vas visited by lively
blaze shout 4 o'clock yesterday al
ternoon, which resulted in the de-
struction Of Edward Quinlan,s cot

The FIRE Was caused by q gasoline
explosion which occurred while Mrs.
Quinlan was in the act Of filling the
feeder from q 6-gallon can. Mre.
Quinlan is unable to explain Just
how it happened. as she was dszed
by, the shock. Her hands were
scorched and her hair was singed,
but she luckily eseap6f further in
Jury by beating q hasty retreat from
the house. An alarm was immedi.
ately turned into the fire department.,
but it was over . half hour before
the Central and. uptown companies
were on the scene, it being difficult
to ascend the hill. Then it wa
some time before water could b
turned on. Us several blocks OF hose
had to be laid. So it was with diff.
Guilty that the adjoining residence
were saved. Some of the furniture
of the Quinlan home was rescued.
The damage is about $500 and IL
covered by insurance in C E. Hodg
