DEMON OF REVENGE
RACED IN BOYS BREAST

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Revenge for rep
rimands given to Leonard Robinson, IA
years Of age, at Blue Point, Long Island,
melted the boy to plan to kill John +.
Danes 15-year-old daughter, Jessie.
He had dug a grave in which to bury
her. Leonard told several other boys and
a girl his intentions. and when the school
teacher confronted him he confessed.
Mr.. Danes. fearing for the life of his
daughter caused the arraignment of the
Robinson boy before a justice. and the
latter issued warrants for the lads arrest
on the charge Of threatened murder, and
the boy was held by the sheriff.
The principal of the Blue Point school
testified that the boy had made a confess
sion to him. He had said he intended to
hide in the woods opposite the girls
uncle's. and as she passed he meant to
shoot her and bury her. He said he had
the revolver with which TO commit the
deed. He showed the revolver to other
children, who told their parents. and it
was reported to Principal Perry for ac-
ton.
The Robinson boy said the plan was his
own. but he intended to let another boy
share I'm the crime. He needed help TO
drag the body Of the girl to the railroad
track i'm order to let a train run over it,
to give the impression that she had been
killed by the cars. Then he intended TO
bury the body in a box in the woods.

Mr.. GyERRY CALLS FOR
AN AUGUST PRIMARY

To the Edisor of The Journal:
As a citizen and not as a candidate 1
write and ask you 10 publish this COM
munication.
Some time ago Cupon what authority l
know mott, the papers generally puolisheo
statements or representations 10 the Ell
feet that our primary would be held this
wear in June. Since then have seen in
some OF the papers a suggestion that II
should or would be held in May.
Now. Mr.. Editor, date should be care
fully selected with a view TO suit best the
great masses OF the voters, and respect
fully suggest that a month later than eth
er OF these should be selected. In Au-
gust our farmers. working men, mer-
chants. business men generally and pro-
fessional men. including our educators,
have probably more leisure from their
work and therefore more time 10 de-
vote to public affairs. than in any other
month during the year. Why not there
fore have the primary in August, so that
ali the people who have the right to par
ticipate I'm the primary can fully enjoy
the opportunity 10 do so? Both May and
June are very busy months with all our
people and July Is a busy month with
our farmers.
notice that some paper has already
suggested. I'm advocating May, that IL is
TO be hoped that no candidate VIII under
take TO dictate on this subject. While I
am as a candidate in favor of late pri-
mary, do not now write as a candidate.
but ! do so simply on my right as a
voter in the primary; and as such voter
I now make a direct appeal to our exec
utive committee 10 consider this sugges-
ton when they come to determine the
date. Yours truly.

BARS WERE OPEN
ON ELECTION DAY
SALOON MEN AS MIXED AS THEIR
DRINKS OVER KNoTTYLE-
GAL PROBLEM.

A few lucky saloon keepers all within
a rather small circle, had a monopoly on
business Thursday or nearly so. It was
county school election osy and some sa-
looms opened that morning and some did
not. Men began to wonder. The LIQUOR
dealers themselves began to wonder.
Those who had closed were wondering If
they were missing sales when there was
no necessity and those who were open be-
gan to wonder if they were violating the
law.
"Can bar run open today?" or Must
L close my bar today?" came repeatedly
over the phone. The police did not ex-
actly know at first. City Attorney May
son was called upon. He said il was a
county matter, not a city and he would
give no opinion. The police then referred
all dealers to the county officials. The po-
lice would take no hand, Chief Ball de-
cided
Permits to open were then asked for.
but this the police wisely refused to give
1t is the business of the saloon keeper to
know the law, the police said. If it is
against the law to open today we can not
give you a permit to violate the law. If
it is not against the law you do not need
a permit" they said. Rather nicely ar
gued, but not very satisfactory to the be-
wildered saloon keeper.
They rushed to the county officials So
licitor Eugene Black told tnOSe VINO ap-
piled to him that he thought they had
best not open. Various other officials
were asked about the matter and the con-
census of opinion pointed the the fact
that it was for. the ordinary to decide
Judge John r. Wilkinson was then ap-
pealed to and asked County Attorney Luz
Their Rosser for. his opinion. The county
attorney decided that all bars within two
miles of any of the polls must be closed
and all greater distance than two miles
from the poles could stay open.
VERY good, but is my bar within or
without the two-mile circumference
about each of the polling places" each
saloon keeper inquiries in turn.
II am sure 1 don't know" answers the
ordinary. No one knows. 1t is guess
work and the central bars have very
shrewdly figured it out that they are two
miles from any polling place and run
wide open accordingly, with just
timid door closed here and there. Some
few of the bars further out decided not
to be outdone and opened.
few of the bars further out have declded

There may be a grand jury investigation
to follow.

CUSTOMS. DUTY
MRS. ARABELLA o. HUNTINGTON
GIVES PORT OF NEW YORK $751;
500 AS DUTY ON HER
PURCHASES.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Mrs Arabella d.
Huntington, widow of Coils p. Hunting
ton, has paid $31, 800 in cash as customs
duty. Officials who frequently have to
haggle with women over the tribute to
Uncle Sam declared that she was para
gon of travellers.
Mrs. Huntington, who returned from a
trip to Europe on the Oceanic, with her
son, Archer Huntington. and Mrs. Archer
Huntington, staggered the young man. who
as acting deputy collector. asked her to
make declaration Of her purchases
abroad
1t was on board the steamer coming up

carefully prepared. The sum total of his
mothers purchases abroad was S75 000 the
largest amount ever declared by a. travel
er in the port of New York and probably
in the world The duty was also the larg-
est ever paid.
. There was a score OF large fat trunks
containing rich gowns bought in Paris.
London and Berlin. Most Of the tax paid
by Mrs. Huntington was so per cent on

R. w. M'GLAUGHRY WORKS
OVER 0BERLlN M. CARTER

r. W. McClaughry record clerk at the
Fort Leavenworth, Kan, prison, but now
temporarily assigned to duty at the At
lanta Federal prison, comes in more con-
slant contact with Oberlin NJ. Carter than
any other man. Mr.. McClaughy uses Cap
tain Carter as clerk in the record de-
partment at the Kansas penitentiary and
in this capacity the former army officer
has become we'll known to the govern
ment emyloye.
Thrown together daily with Mr.. Nc
Claughry directing Captain Carriers work,
the record clerk knows more of Carter
daily life and thoughts in the gloomy old
prison than any other man alive. Carter
makes a good clerk, too, and is valuable
assistant to Mr.. McClaughry. AS to the
details of that prison life, how carter
takes his confinement and all that the
record clerk is forbidden to speak.
An order from the head of the depart
ment in Washington has stopped all gov
eminent officials and employees from tax
ing of Captain Carter or his prison me-
or from giving out anything that the pris-
oner may say. This order was a result
of an article in New York paper in
which Carter was made to criticise the at
torney general of the United States. The
statements attributed to the prisoner were
repudiated and there was quite howl
all over the country about the reputation
as we'll as the article. Many supposed
the article fake, while an equal num-
Der supposed it to be genuine and the re-
pudiation made by Carter either made
under duress or from expediency. What
ever the true facts of the case were the
officials have since denied Carter the
right to talk and stopped all persons con-
nected with the government from talk
ing about him.
Mr., McClaughry, aside from the interest
felt in him In this part Of the country be-
cause he knows more than any one else
about Captain Carter, is an authority on
certain branches of the work connected
with criminals. He knows as much as any
man in the country about the Bertillon
system of measurement, for example, and
he is to install the system in the federal
prison here before leaving. The apparati
for measuring the convicts is expected to
arrive at an early date. 1t was Mr. Nc
Claughrys father, Major R. w. Nc
Claughry once superintendent of the Chi
cago police, and now warden of the fede-
raj prison at Joliet, ILL.,, who introduced
the French system into the United States
AS is well known, it is the most complete
system of identification on earth. A man
once measured by this system can never
afterwards escape. All DISCUSSES are I'M
availing when once a criminal has been
measured by this system.
The system was at one time used by the
Atlanta police department, but was dis
continued. 1t is a good protection TO
community, for the crooks understand
where the system is in vogue and avoid
that locality. They have no desire to be
measured, for they know well that after
once measured they can be identified in
almost any quarter of the globe.
After everything is Strengthened out at
the federal prison here and the system es-
tablished, Mr.. McClaughry will return to
Fort Leavenworth to resume his duties
as record clerk.

GRAY'S REMARKS At

Society in New York. who broke up the
banquet of the Georgia society Monday
night by referring 70 Prince Henry and

twelve years ago, and when the Georgia

At the banquet Monday night his re-
marks threw the banqueters into confus-
