MAURICE BROADy
 IS ACQUITTED Case of a Pawn Broker and a
 Watch PAWNED BY UNKNOWN MAN Watch Was Taken From Possession of George H. tiilI-Painting On Dial of Watch Removed
 By Chemicals.
PAWNED BY UNKNOWN MAN

The case of Maurice Broadly the pawn broker, charged with receiving and con cealing stolen property, was called in the Inferior Criminal Court yesterday morn ing, and the defendant was released The case is very interesting one. On Tues day night the residence of George T. Hill. 2521 Seventh avenue was entered by an unknown burglar. and among other things stolen was gold watch. which was in the possession of George H. Hill.
 On Wednesday morning George Hill made a visit to the several pawnbroker shops about the city, and at the establish ment of Maurice Broadly the watch was found, and the proprietor when question ed stated that negro had brought the same into his place of business a few min utes before and pawned 1t for E and left the store before a pawn ticket could be made out to him.
 Engraved on the watch case are the ini- tials "F. A. E." and inside of the case were two pictures. The loan man called the attention of the negro to this. and the negro replied that the watch was the property of his boss, and that the latter had given it to him
 Painting Removed By Chemicals.
 When George HiII demanded possession of the watch the pawnbroker asked him .o describe the one stolen from his residence. This Mir. Hill did, but the pawnbroker told Mir IIill he was not acquainted with him and he would have to be identified, sug- gesting that J. T. vickery, local private bo fho ttor MT. HiIl stated he would get his employer, J. IT. McCary, chairman of the police commission. to hold the watch pending an investigation. In the meantime, an inves- tigation, MT. Hill found that the pastel painting of his wife on the dial of the watch had been removed. presumably by chemicals.
 MT. McCary asked the pawnbroker why he had removed the painting from the face, and he replied. Does 1t look like I erased it?'' in surprised tone of voice.
 At the hearing yesterday morning Po- liceman Oswald, who Is a teweler and wa tchmaker. was introduced by the prose- cution as an expert witness. He examined the watch and said it was worth now pos- sibly s3O or $40. and cost about $75 when  new. The pawnbroker testified that he did not see the 14-karat mark in the back of the watch. for the reason of a photo graph being in the back of the case. Daily Reports to Police. Mir Broadly was asked why he did not notify the police. He stated that he did not have time to see one between the time the watch was presented and the time Mir. Hill called for it. He said that the chief of police had notified him that daily reports must be made to the police by the pawnbrokers of the days business. but it was not stipulated whether 1t should be ritten or verbal.
 The case was hotly contested Clarence Bradley being retained to defend the pawnbroker. The evidence tended to show there was no criminal suspicion attaching to the actions of Mir. Broadly, and he was discharged

The Strength of a Shark.

Given special advantages, such as
that Of holding the end of stout rope
at the other extremity of which is a
hook fixed in sharks mouth, man
may, with the assistance Of number
Of his fellows, have the best of the
shark. But alone and in the water the
advantage is wholly and absolutely the
other way, and the strongest swimmer
and the bravest heart fail when the
tyrant of the sea seeks to make his ac-
quaintance.
The shark is creature gifted with
great strength, savage temper, dog
ged perseverance and exceptional pow
er Of jaw. The lion and tiger may
mangle, the crocodile may lacerate, the
bulldog may hold fast-the shark alone
of living creatures possesses the power
of nipping on a human limb at a clean
bite

A clever woman,s Answer.

"Do you not consider your husband
the most gra celess sinner in existence?
This question was asked the wife of
a gay Lothario by rival for his affec-
tons while playing game called "can-
dor"
The stiffness became intense and
every pair of eyes grew rounder as
those present looked from one woman
to the other. 1t was the husbands
voice that h4oke the silence.
"Your question is ous of order, Bea-
trice," he said quietly. "It is a rule
laid down in courts of law thatsa wo-
man is not required to testify against
her husband"
In the confusion that followed as the
game broke up the man sought his
wife's side. What should you have
replied to the query of the fair Beatrice
If l had not come to your rescue so
neatly?" he demanded.
Il should lave said you We're sin
ner, yes, but a graceful rather than
graceless one. "-Iippincott's

Many Decline to Return to Work on
Terms Agreed to by Shaffer.
Pittsburg, Sept. lit was turbu-
lent day for President Shaffer and the
general officials of the Amalgamated
association. The headquarters of the
organization were crowded yesterday
from morning until evening with dele
cations of strikers awaiting word
from the leader regarding the settle
ment of the strike. President Shaffer
had difficulty in seeing all who came
and finally arranged to see individual
delegations from each lodge, under
promise that what they learned from
him was to remain secret except when
the subject was brought before the
lodge and in the lodge room. The
callers at the general offices were all
more or less excited and many were
deeply incensed. Many of the strik-
ers declared they would not respect
the order calling the strike off until
they were given full particulars of the
settlement. Others were calling bold
ly for the resignation of President
Sharfer. AT 6 p. m. President Shaffer
left for his home. He looked neither
to the right nor to the left. He
seemed depressed and wanted to avoid
every one
One of the officials other than Mr..
Shaffer said it was but natural that
nothing would be said about the set
tlement. He added that it was CALLING
enough to be beaten without talking
publicly about it.
A meeting of the tin workers of the
Star mills was held during the after
noon and the matter of the strike set
Element was taken up. After the meet
ing the men announced that they had
decided to remain out and keep up the
strike until they had heard from Pres

Gender of the Sword.

Among the many curious notions OBJ
tanning among the different races using
the sword may be noted the gender Of
the weapon. In the north of Europe it
was either masculine, as in Britain, or
neuter, as IN Germany, while in the
south it was uniformly feminine. Its
force and cruelty appealed to the north
ern mind. Its grace and elegance at
tracted the warriors of the sunny south.
