PROFESSIONAL BONDSMEN.
important Order Issued by Judges Of
Police Court

An order of considerable Importance was
signed yesterday by Judge l. c. Kimball
and Judge Charles F. Scott of the Police
Court. 1t is follows:
ut is hereby ordered that no person shall
be taken as a bondsman in any case in the
Police Court who is at the time bondsman
in five other cases. or who has an unsettled
forfeited bond"
1t is understood that the order was
passed for the purpose of prohibiting a
business that the court officials say has be-
come odious in its characteristic of pro-
feSSional bondsmen.
No man who is of the character of a
professional bondsman,' stated Assistant
District Attorney Pugh to Star reporter
should be accepted as tondsman in any
case"
On the other hand. however. several
prominent attorneys take the stand that
the order cannot hold. for, they say, IL a
man is properly qualified he must be ac-
cepted as bondsman, no matter on how
many other bonds he is serving.

he crossed the line at 50 miles, his time

announced by the track officials that

of slow piok.ups. but on the whole the

beautifully. After the first mile he grad

seconds behind. In the next mile he be-
gan to break records. This he kept up

nIasquerades az a Priest.

New York, October 9.-The police of
Brooklyn believe that the man who muir.
dered George Stelz in the vestibule of the
Most Holy Trinity church in Brooklyn
on August 20 last is now in ST. Louis.
They have received word from the st,
Louis officers that the.capture Of the man
suspected OF the murder was hoped to be
effected.
The suspect is William Becker, alias
Father Cadecto, alias Brother Fidelius.
The Brooklyn police are reticent as to the
strength Of the evidence against him and
it was only learned today that search
had been made for him in connection
with the murder. Stelz was assistant sex.
ton of the church where he met his
death. Father Deluffeu bach, the rector.
when seen today said that the police had
previously only made slight illusions to
Becker Us having anything to do with the
murder.

Deluffenabach, twas expelled from some
western monastry and since then has de-

characterized the contest, and both sides
were compelled to change pitchers be-
cause of the bonn bardment they received.

the twirling for the visitors, but he gave
way to Lewis after IL runs had been
made off him in two innings. Nops,
who opened the contest for the home
team, lasted a little longer, but he, too,
had to quit, and in the seventh Corbett

Harvard Defeats Dartmouth Eleven.

Cambridge, Mass, October 9.-The
Harvard football team had the first
hard work of the season today when they
defeated the strong Dartmouth eleven
13 to 0. it was closer game than the
score would indicate. The first half end
ed without score for either side, for al
though the wind was in Dartmouth S
favor, Harvard's goal was never in seri-
Gus danger. while the Crimson eleven
could not do much in offensive play.
The Dartmouth men started the second
half with more than faint hopes of scor
ing, but Eckstrom was forced by his own
tumble to make safety. After that
Cabot made fair catch. but Cochrane
missed the try for a goal. Cochrane
caught the ball himself, however, few
minutes later and this time he sent the
pigskin over easily making the score
to 0. Harvard got the ball down near
Dartnouth's goal and blocked a kick
on the five yard line. A few short gains
were made through the centre and then
Bouve was pushed through the line for
the last touchdown. Cochrane kicked the
goal, leaving the final score 10 to 0.
The game offered the first fair opportuni-
ty for judging the work of the Harvard
team and was hardly encouraging. The
