Somebody Else Responsible for
Cant. BucEer,s Luck.

The intimation that Albert Scheffer was in
strumental in securing Capt. Joseph Burger
pension OF $72 per month which is allowed
In cases where the applicant is totally dis
abied and requires the attention of an attend
ant, is not, according to Mr.. Seheffer, correct.
Seen at his home yesterday, Mr.. Scheffer
said his recollection was that, some years
ago, possibly twelve or fifteen, he had sug-
eested to Capt Burger that he should have
larger pension that he then drawing.
Acting on this suggestion, Capt. Burger was
examined by DR.. Murphy. now deceased, d,
Mr.. Scheffer thought, the increase granted.
Mr.. Schefer was Of the opinion that at t e
time Capt Burger was drawing a pensi OF
$50 per month. and, as he unders K cd the
law at that time, the increase was allowed
on the ground that the captain was total y
disabled and not capable of perform ng man
ual labor. 1t was Mr.. Schefer's impression
that Capt. Burger drawing a pension
when he came to st. Paul, but as to the
amount he was not prepared to say.
AS told in the G o b e yesterday, however,
the pension board turned down the applica-
ticn which Mr.. Scheffer thought was e. anted.

II war and draws pension, which he
came to town to get on Monday after
noon, after which he visited the re-
sort where these two women preside.
His visit was prolonged until after tea
and by way of diversion Cabman Phin-

Farrell and another old soldier and
the two women, to the Palentine ho-
tel near the Driving park. Jack Phel-
an is the landlord of the Palentine.
The Courtright woman seated herself
on Farrells lap soon after arriving
at the hotel. Some time later Farrell
found when searching for his wallet
TO pay for a drink that he hadn't it.
The woman was accused and after
much haggling the cab was searched
and the pocket book found, but all
it contained was $45.
He had the two women and the cab
man arrested and the trio spent last
night In the central police station. AS
an offset the Courtright woman had
a warrant sworn out for Farrell for
unlawful relations. and the cabman
had a warrant for him for defamation
of character and false imprisonment
The hearing was a tumble of charges
and counter charges and ended in the
withdrawal of all three suits. Farrell
concluded that he had notoriety
enough.

COSTLY $40 CASE.
Although the Superior Court Has
Adjudicated 1t, the Plaintiff
Wants to Start 1t
All Over Again.

There ought tO be an end to this
law suit is the way Judge Edwards
concluded an opinion dismissing an
attempt on the part of the plaintiff
TO reopen the ten-dollar case Edward
Griffin and Bernard Davis have been
fighting continuously for the past
three years.
Griffin engaged Constable Davis to
attend to All appeal for him. Davis
turned it over to another constable
who neglected to take the appeal
within the required twenty days and
when judgment was recorded against
Griffin ne sued Constable Davis to re-
cover the amount of the judgment, SO.
The local court decided in favor of
tn constable and it was taken to the
superior court, where the finding OF
the local court was sustained. Griffin
then came into the local court com
planning that Alderman Roberts tran
script Of the proceedings before him
were incorrect and asKing for a man
damus to compel him to change them.
re this Judge Edwards says:
We think it is now too late in the his
tory of this case to question the acCur-
aCY of the aldcrmans record. a diminu-
tiOn of the record could have been suG-
gested in the carly stages OF the proceed
ing. The case has been before us on the
record as ii now stands, and ii was APP
pealed to the Superior court. Tho court
below was sustained. We arc now ask ed
to virtually reopen the whole case. II
Is too late. There ought to be an end TO
the lawsuit. The writ of mandamus is
refused, ;hc rule discharged and the petit
ton dismissed at the cost OF the plaintiff.
In the case of the Eastern Building
and Loan association against John S.
Bortree in which an appeal has been
made to correct alleged errors in AL
derman Millar's record of the case,
Judge Edwards rendered an opinion
saying that the record of the alder
man is a complete and correct one
and must stand.
Judge Archibald handed down an
opinion discharging the application OF
Mrs. Annie Depuy for the sole guar
dianshiD OF her children, to the eX-
clusion of her husband Ringgold De-
puy, Of West Abingdon, from whose
house she and the children recently
Withdrew. She alleges that he treated
her and the children In such a cruel
manner that they were compelled to
leave him. He has not contributed to
their support since the separation. she
says. but notwithstanding this he has
made claim for the wages of their old
est boy. and the boys employer is with
holding the wages because of the coun-
ter claims.
The husband, in his answer. says
that the Wife left him, taking the
children with her. without any just or
reasonable proVocation. He never
treated her cruelty, he AYERS, and
stand ready and willing to receive
them back into his home
Judge Archibald. it appears. is sat-
istied that the wife's action is unwar-
ranted for he dismisses her petition
with AN Indirect suggestion that they
kiss and makeup.

TWO ALLEGED BURGLARS
They Were Arrested for Entering the
Shoe Store of Handley and NC
Loughlin in the Arcade Two
Weeks Ago.

Ernest Hope and William Mooney
were arrested yesterday for burglar
izing Handley and McLoughlins shoe
store in the arcade two weeks ago.
A few pairs of shoes, a camera and
n small amount of cash left in the
register were stolen by them. Hope
when arrested had one of the stolen
pairs of shoes on his feet. The CAM
era was recovered from a pawnship
in which Mooney had put it up.
Chief Gurrel detailed Detective Moir
few days ago to work up the case,
and the capture of the burglars was
an alert piece of work. There was
scarcely any clue left behind by the
burglars and they took nothing of
much value except the camera, which
was a valuable one.
Detective Moir had "a description
Of the stolen shoes and while walk
ing along Lackawanna avenue in the
afternoon he met Hope and spotted
the shoes on him. He took him to
the store and Mr.. HandleY identified
them. The detective learned that Moo
ney had Dawned the camera and after
supper last evening he and Sergeant
Ridgeway started out to find him.
They located him about $50 o'clock
on Penn avenue, near Lackawanna, and
brought him to the police station. The
warrant on which the arrests were
made was sworn out before Alder
man Mllar who will give them a
hearing today. Hope denies that he
stole the shoes and Mr.. Handley is
positive that he did.
Mooney had nothing to say. He had
some experience in this line before. He
has Just served Il term in the county
Jail for burglarizing Gunster and For
syth's store. And before that he served
a term in the Eastern penitentiary for
burglary. Hope had not been in trouble
before. His folks are respectable and
well thought of. his father being Il
machinst in the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western shops.
