MORTIMER HELD FOR TRIAL
The Grand Jnry RetuEnsi an Indict-
ment in the Sfarripo CosSS

Lewis Francis Mortimer. also known as
Monroe, was yesterday arrested on a
bench warrant as the result of an indict-
ment returned against him by the grand
jury charging him with the larceny of
$4,000 worth of diamonds and S400 in mon
ey from Mrs. Olivia c. Starring on MAY
: last. AT the time of his arrest Mortimer
was in the custody of James II. Harris,
Warden of the District Jail, who had
brought him to the City Hall for the
purpose of attending the hearing on the
application made on Tuesday last for a
writ of habeas corpus.
The arrest was as much n surprise to
Mortimers counsel, when they were in
formed of what had taken place, as it was
to himself. As the result of the indict-
ment reported against Mortimer his coun-
sci appeared before Justice Bradley at the
hour set for the hearing on the applica-
tion for habeas corpus and consented to
the dismissal Of the petition
The Indictment against Mortimer was
reported by the grand jury on Thursday,
but was not made a matter of record un-
til yesterday, short while before the
hour set for the hearing before Justice
Bradley, on the application for habeas
corpus.
Mortimer was confident that he would
have been released from custody on ha-
Deas corpus and it is said that while on
the way from the Jail to the City Hall he
suggested to Warden Harris that he re-
turn to the prison in order that he might
get some few articles which he left there.
Without any suspicion of what was going
10 take place when he arrived at the
courthouse Mr.. Harris declined to do this
In fact, 1t is said that Warden Harris
was even more surprised than Mortimer
when on his arrival at the City Hall Dep
uty Marshal James Springmann demand
ed the custody of his prisoner and pre-
sented a bench warrant signed by JUS
tice Barnard as his authority for the
claim.
Mortimer arrived at the City Hall about
an hour before the time set FOR the hear
ing, and held consultation with his
counsel, in one of the witness rooms. He
was dressed, in a black, diagonal coat,
light colored trousers, and wore a black
derby hat. On his former visit to the
City Han, Mortimer wore high silk hat.
He seemed perfectly at ease and was anx-
ious for the hearing TO begin.
Soon after his arrival, Mortimer sent a
message to his wife, who came to him
Immediately.
When the matter came up for consider
alton before Justice Bradley, Francis p.
Is. Sands of counsel for the prisoner stat
ed the status of the case to the court and
asked that the proceedings be dismissed.
This was assented to and on the sugges- |
tion of District Attorney Goald. Morti- |
mer was turned over to the custody of the |
Marshal.
A s. Colyar, one of Mortimer's attor- |
neys, said later that effort will be |
made to secure the prisoners S release from |
jail on bond pending his trial.

Several days ago Dr. +. p Vale Sec
retary of the Board of Police Surgeons
wrote TO the Commissioners urging the
adoption of a much lighter suit and he'll
met for the police force to wear during
the summer months. DR.. Vale stated that
he had been instructed to do this by the
suffering of the men in hot weather
might be lessened. He called attention to
the prevalence of heat prostration In the
force. which the surgeons attribute to
the heavy clothing, and DIR. Vale ex-
pressed the belief that relief from this
and the consequent loss Of time to the
department warranted the change pro-
posed
Major Sylvester, reporting upon the
matter, has submitted the following
statement: This is not new question
at aIl-it has been given consideration
every year by the captains and several
leutenants of police, who, in conjunction
with the MAJOR and Superintendent, have
endeavored 10 add to the comfort Of the
members of the force, whose welfare is
uppermost in their minds"
Major Sylvester then discusses the
weight OF the clothing and the helmets,
forwarding samples and showing that for
ali weather il is the best attainable. lie
states that a portion of the clothing and
the helmets for this season has been
delivered, and that it viii be impossible
10 make the changes proposed now.
The report of Major Sylvester has been
approved by Commissioner Ross, who has
charge of the Police Department, and IL
is understood that the action of the Board
will be in accordance Herewith.

MOST EXPENSIVE TIpslT.
Peanut Bud Paete OF China Costs an
Enormous sum.

China. possessing the oldest aristo-
cracy. may naturally be expected to
furnish the most expensive Injuries.
And she certainly does in so far as
costly food is concerned. Compared
with the peanut bud paste of China,
such dishes as nightingales' tongues
or strawberries at Christmas are
merely trines. This paste, a combi-
nation of peanut buds and ginged. is
brownish in color, and Is to be obtain
ed in small jars. The price is $40
an ounce, more than half list weight
in gold. an almost sufficient guaran-
tee that 1t is eaten very sparingly.
Peanut bud paste is said to have a
flavor for Oriental palates 10 times
more exquisite than that of birds nest
soup. At the base of the kernel of
a peanut is small coneshaped for
nation. usually surmounted by TWO
microscopic leaves. The nuts are
first roasted. then these minute
growth are carefully extracted. They
are so small that many thousands of
them are necessary to fill a small tea
cup, but when sufficient number are
collected they are put into mortar
and ground into fine -four. which is
afterward mixed with ginger jelly
and rubbed down to a smooth paste.'

One Bite; Caught Two.

A reliable fisherman from Michigan

He says he was fishing on Selkirk
Lake, Kalkaska County, for pickerel.
There was bite, and in due time the

supposed to be a big pike. His sur
prise was great as the catch was
brought into view, when he saw, in-
stead of one fish, two. One. two

pounds and had the line wrapped
