Vestigate the case Of T.. X. Taub, a Russian,
today. Taub was arrested by the police
Thursday night on account Of his strange
behavior. He at first gave the name Of
Martin and later that OF Ike Jacobs. He
claimed to be worl-ing in one of the rail-
road grading camps. Judge Scott, suspect
ing that his behavior was due to excessive
use Of intoxicants, gave him a bread and
water sentence, but suspended 1t on condi-
tion that be left town, and he was released
from the city jail. An hour later the po-
ltce were called to Seventh street and
Broadway, where Taub was found nourishing
q razor and threatening to kill passersby.
He chased one woman who succeeded in es-
Gaping into a store. Taub welded the razor
in such a threatening manner that no one
dared attempt to take 1t from him until the
police arrived on the scene. When taken
back to the city Jail Taub excitedly de-
clared that he would not leave town. He
declared he was tired of being ordered to
move on and said that no matter where he
went he could not get employment and the
authorities would order him on TO the next
town. His manner indicated that he was
mentally unbalanced.

Carpenters Who Garry Their Tools

of his trade, whatever It may be, the mod

a kit of tools, is very likely to carry It

is just like that of the majority of the men
he meets.
So there was met the other day, going
back to the shop, apparently from some
Job that he had been at work on some
where, a carpenter, who might have been
thought to be somebody going travelling
II It had not been for the end Of a saw
sticking out Of one end OF his dress suit
case.
A million years ago, more or less. when
a carpenter went anywhere in the city, he
carried his tools in an open box, having a
handle at the top of a lengthwiBe middle
partition in II, this box being much like an
exaggerated knife tray. One end OF the
long rip saw that is an inevitable part OF
the carpenters kit projected beyond the
end OF the box, resting in q slit cut there
to receive 1t.
But this up-to-date carpenter had every
thing packed in a narrow and more con-
venient compass, in a dress suit case, and
not only out of the way, but out Of sight,
all but about a foot Of the rip saw which
projected from one end Of the case, through
a slit made for 1t.
It did seem at first q little odd. no
doubt. to see a man carrying a suit case
with a saw sticking out OF one end. but
there is no manner Of doubt all the same
that this Is the very latest and most
strictly up-to-date method of carrying a
kit of carpenters tools.
