Held Up Coney Island Train and Ter
 rorized Passengers.
 New York, May 1S.-Rowdies held up train returning from Coney Island yesterday and terrorized the passen- gers by fighting and cursing and as saulting trainmen and the policemen who went to stop the trouble. One po-. liceman had his nose broken and oth- CTS had hats crushed and uniforms torn before the excitement was quelled. Eight men were landed in the cells at the Bath Beach station and were held for hearing.
 When the train left Coney Island five cars were damned to the doors. The crowd was hilarious and all sem blanee of order soon disappeared.
 A motorman of the train was com amnded to blow the whistle without ceasing and to run the train ahead till Bath Beach was ,creached. This IS near the police station.
 When the train reached the Bath Beach station Captain Cullen, Sergeant Ryder and Roundsman Nugent with nine men were there. Captain Cullen sent half of his men with the sergeant into the car and told them to arrest IuOSS WUOM IliCy lhC IAAB~ leaders and push them through the windows of the car, where they would be caught by the captain and his other men.
 Then followed a fierce battle. Rounds man Nugent had just seized one man who had been thrust out, when an- other landed on his back. The fellow began to pummel Nugent's face. He caught the policeman's club and with 1t struck the roundsman repeatedly.
 The man had Nugent down and was belaboring him when the captain went to the policeman's aid. When it was over, Nugent's uniform and hat were ruined and his nose was broken.
 All the prisoners were held on charges of disorderly conduct except, the one who had beaten Nugent, and he was held for assault.

Chicago Federation of Labor Passed
 Resolutions Last Night.
 Chicago, May 18.-Arbitration boards, employers associations and labor con- missioners were denounced in the Chi cago federation of labor last night as being "snares, humbugs and industrial pitfalls designed to crush labor unions."
 The members of the central body were indignant at the recent decision of the Chicago board of arbitration, which is composed of seven teamsters and seven employers, in the gas strike hearing. The boards finding was de clared to be unjust and detestable." The delegates refused to accept the boards finding as final and decided all the unions of the city to cut out Of the labor world hereafter ''ali self-consti- tuted arbitration boards"
 It was agreed that a substitute must be found and the executive board of the federation was suggested.

TWO ARRESTS MADH4

f Connection With Bakers Death,
 Who, It was Thought, Shielded.
 New York, May 18.-Two men have en arrested by order of Coroner 5idenkranz in connection with the kth of Hirsch CiesmuA a baker, who Rs at first supposed to have commit ] suicide. Ciesman's body was found the cellar of a building on First Beet used as a bakeshop. Around B neck was a rope which was at $hed to a gas fixture. The body was
 an erect attitude and the feet rested barely upon the floor. If Ciesman gk his own life by strangulation he
 st have thrown his weight upon the pe by drawing up his knees. His 3ck was not broken, although there Ire several scratches upon it. On B mans head was 8 fantastic cov- Ing. A. bandage had been drawn shtly over the forehead, crossed at back of the neck and then brought Slnd under the chin and securely
 btted. Over the face was wo- zn's veil of light gray color and but the head was covering of green bsquito netting. The body was mal- lated in such a way as to indicate ht some one wrought upon it sav- se revenge.
 Cfesman was employed by the owner the bakery. He had been second kn at the shop two months ago, when h first baker, Louis Gavore, was ken III and was obliged to go to a spital. Ciesman then became the bt baker and Holman Jones was em- Byed as his helper. Gavore came .ck few days ago and tried to get old position, but he was unable to so.

HOW POLICE ARE scHO0LED.
Chiefs and sherins visiting Chicago
Are Taught Methods Of the
City Crooks.

The Chicago police department a. IN
educational institution is the Chicago
police department in a new light
Yet the police force has a school ol
its own about which few people have
ever heard and to which no Chicago
man can get admittance, says the Trib-
une.
1t is conducted solely for the benefit Of
chiefs of police and sheriffs In small
towns.
The students have to come to Chicago
to receive instruction and they have tc
pay all their expenses while here.
But the city of Chicago, which is
nothing If not generous, does not ask
penny from its students.
They are welcome to absorb all the
education they can, and the better they
get along the better tho A.y Of Chicago
is satisfied.
Chief of Police O'fieill is the head pro-
fessor in this postgraduate school
which the city maintains for the benefit
of its out of town friends.
The school has only one building,
and 1t shares that with two courtrooms,
a big cellroom, a squadroom, and Offices
of an inspector, lieutenant and SER
geant of police This building is the
Harrison street police station, and the
educational work goes on in the rogues'
gallery on the second floor.
If the city was in the business of sup
plying education and getting money in
return 1t could advertise in perfect truth
'the school building is situated most ad-
vantageously. 1t is just across the street
from the new Lake Shore station"
The course of instruction is eclectic.
The rural sheriff or chief of police, in
pursuance of general invitation is
sued by Chief O'Neill few weeks ago,
comes to Chicago.
He meets the chief and is by him in
troduced to Capt. Evans, who is In
charge of the rogues' gallery.
The chief and the captain and the
chiefs secretary, James Markham, then
go into executive session as members of
the faculty.
They tell the visiting student all they
know about the Bertillon system Of
measurements. They illustrate their
lectures with photographs of criminals.
They invite the student to study the po-
lice departments educational bulletin,
which is issued every day and which is
given up to descriptions of crimes and
criminals, which 1t is to the benefit of
any policeman to know.
Then the visitor is introduced to the
shrewdest detectives In the department
and is filled with more lore.
The result is that although the course
has not cost the city of Chicago cent.
II has increased the efficiency of the Chi
cago police department many fold.
The next Chicago criminal that fees
from justice into the bailiwick Of the
graduate of the Chicago police school
will find that the chief of police or the
sheriff there has his record, knows all
about him and his habits, and can arrest
him with ridiculous ease.

MOTORING WOMEN ARE PLAIN.
to Destroy Ones Beauty-Makes
the Features Coarse.

For some time past it has been noticed
that the motoring women are all plain
in appearance. and those who were once
classed among the beauties, or were at
least attractive, have become coarse of
feature and many of them positively
homely. Motoring in itself, however,
is not beauty destroyer; it is thesex-
cess of the pastime that is pernicious.
Moderate motoring, by improving health
and the capacity for sleep, enhances a
woman's charm, but the hardened tour
ist type of $50 miles day tans and
coarsens her skin, ard gets crows feet
around her eyes; her face loses its soft
womanly contour and gains hardness
and determination. Of course the same
is true of many outdoor sports INDUCED
in to excess. but no other sport possesses
such talismans against beauty loss % )
lie in mask and goggles. Some devoted
motorians fly in the face of Providence
by refusing to wear even a veil. and
their punishment in loss of loveliness is
out of all proportion to their sins and
negligence OF automobile appliances
for preserving beauty.

A UTILITARIAN KITE.
Uses of the Cody Aeroplane ms De-
scribed by Its Inventor-With-
stands Strong Breeze.

MY invention" Mr.. S. F. Cody writes,
in his article in the Pearson's, explain
ing his recent invention, Il have called
the Cody Aeroplane. One of the main
objects aimed at in the construction of
the aeroplane is utility for reconnoiter-
ing purposes-during any weather, day
or night-zin time of war, both on land
and at sea.
'In its present stage it has been proved
quite practical as carrier and support
for wireless telegraph apparatus, for
taking photographs at any given alti-
tude, man-lifting and signaling.
During my recent experiments at
sea, it has been conclusively proved that
my aeroplane will fly successfully with
vessel that is going full steam ahead
with beam gale; the same success in
flying has been achieved on, land, with
no more than a seven or eight-mile
breeze.
Then, again, have experienced a
wind of 5S miles an hour. and perhaps
the strength of such force will be bet
ter understood and realized when say
that it is almost strong enough to up
root trees and carry away solidly-built
frame houses"

CENSUS TAKING IN INDIA.
Colossal Work Accomplished Decen-
nfally by the British Govern
ment in That Country.

In India census taking is colossal
task accomplished decennially. with
noteworthy success, by the British gov
ernment. Even among those who find
descriptions of census methods dry
reading at best, interest must be awak-
ened by the difficulties surmounted In
that land of splendor and squalor, vast
population, and innumerable races. Ian
guages, and religions.
The population of India is 294, ,266, ,701
"a figure so vast that it Is better real
lied by considering the fact that there
are more than It's, 900 villages and towns
scattered over an area of one and half
million square miles. To make the emu
meration Of this vast territory, virtu-
ally million enumerators are required.
The successive steps of census organ
ization are the enumerator's 'block," "
the Circle" "the charge" the district.
the province. and finally the imperial
census commission. A charge comprises
two or more circles, a circle is composed
of 10 or Is blocks, and the block con-
tains from 80 to so houses.
The provincial superintendents begin
the work of organization a year in ad-
vance of the census date. Officers are
designated, the villages in each circle
are listed, block lists are prepared, and
every house is numbered. In some prov
inces the census authorities determine
in advance the size of the number, and
specify the proportions of red ocher and
oil; or other ingredients, forming the
substance with which the number is to
be painted. Even in this simple detail,
however, racial difficulties are encoun-
tered: in Hyderabad objection is made
to tar because of its color, and red ocher
is substituted; in some other localities,
on the contrary, the natives consider
red ocher unlueky, and II it is used they
carefully erase the figures. On huts Of
wattled bamboo small space is plas-
background for the number. In the
case of huts made of leaves, and also
when objection is made, on account Of
caste restrictions, to the touching of
houses by enumerators, the numbers
are painted on bits of tin, tiles, or pots
conspicuously placed, and are usually
treated with great respect by the ma
tives.
In this immensely populous and re-
markable empire the census schedule Is
framed to meet wide variety of local
and racial conditions. 1t is printed In
no less than II different languages, and
includes, in addition to the ordinary IN
quiries. questions concerning religion
and caste.
