New Rochelle. a. y. June 29.-Fran-
cisco RATIO has made a second confes-
sion to Coroner Weisendanger, in
which he admits that besides being a
murderer he was a robber also. The
confession does away with Ratios plea
that he killed Policeman Ahearn in set
defense and will probably send him to
the electric chair.
He said that after leaving the house
Of his sweetheart in New Rochelle he
went TO the barn of former Alderman
Archer in upper New Rochelle, where
he stole a bag and put three chickens
in it. He then went to the Rose Hill
nurseries. owned by Henry A. Sic
brecht, and stole about ten dozen car
nations, a bunch OF raliia and a pail.
He then started back to the home of
his sweetheart in Oak street and was
passing through the park when he met
Policeman Ahearn. In the struggle
Ahearn was shot to death, and the Ital
ian dropped the bag, and some of the
rafiia fell out. The police are searching
forit
RATIO says that after the shooting he
went through the park and into the
woods toward Larchmont, dropping the
bag in the woods. just where he does
not know. lie wandered about in the
woods and became lost
Feeling in New Rochelle runs higf
against RATIO since his second confes
sion, and the police have decided tc
take him to White Plains and put hin
in the county Jail for safe keeping
The finding Of pocket handkerchief
by Sergeant Cody at the home Of the
murderer's sweetheart at 90 Oak stree

whom the murderer's affianced bride
resided, who owned It. They said Raff'
did They then showed him three othe
handkerchiefs which were stained. Th'
police then went to Tuckahoe and ar
rested Ratio.

the police have searched for seyera
days ID order to complete the evidence
have been found. The police found thi

little Fear OF Further Outbreak Of
Mob Violence.
Wilmington, Del, June 29.-Despite
the fact that peace now hovers over
this town 1t cannot be safely predicted
that the present tranquil condition of
affairs viii continue. The entire police
force Is on duty, and 100 national
guardsmen are stationed in the armofy
ready for any duty The police appar.
emily have a tight grip on the situation,
and they propose to hold it. Police
Captain Kane said he did not look for
further trouble.
The bitter feeling exhibited by the
whites and blacks against each other
appears to be rapidly disappearing,
While this Is the conditions Of affairs
now, the police propose to keep in force
for few days longer all the precau.
tlonary measures they adopted last
week They have decided to do this be
cause they do not wish to take any
chances. The officials realize that IL q
colored man and a white man should
engage in a fight even over triaing
matter their quarrel could under pres
ent conditions easily grow into a riot
What Is undoubtedly the greatest fac
tor in keeping down disorder is the
early closing Of the saloons
There are no developments directly
connected with the burning at tbt
stake Of George White. It Is generally
believed that the state and city author
ities viii let the matter drop, as ha'
been suggested by some Of the leading
citizens.

SIGNATURES WANTED
WITHIN TEN DAYS
Mr.. Levi Tells All He Can About the
Jewish Petitions.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Leo N. Levi
gave out the following statement re-
garding the conference between the
president and the Jewish committee at
Oyster Bay:
1.-The conference was entirely salts
factory to us. Our views and those of
the president are in perfect accord. It
has been decided that it would not be
well at present to make public any de-
tails of the conference. 1t is desired
and expected that the petitions now
being circulated for signatures should
be signed and mailed SO as to reach
me in ten days. The returns thus far
received indicate that uniformly
throughout the country the petition is
being signed by the most prominent
and representative men,"
Some very erroneous impressions
have been formed, which it is impor-
tant to correct Immediately. The pc
tition has not been modified in any
particular. No reason exists for dis
continuing the signing of the petit
tons. 1t is desired that they should
be signed for a week longer and then
sent to me. There are no differences
of any kind whatsoever, and there has
been no receding. The petition Is
neither protest nor a remonstrance.
1t does not seek to interfere in Rus
sian affairs. 1t is not a petition by
Jews, but in behalf of them. It is a
petition by Americans. regardless of
religious Affiliations

HOW MANY DO YOU KNOW?
Average Man of Fair Education Has Vo-
cabuIary of SO, 900 Words.

The Indianapolis Journal tackles the old
legend that the vocabulary of the average
man is limited to a few hundred words,
and 1t has no difficulty in proving, with
the help of a dictionary, that the words
at the command of any person of fair in
telligence run far up into the thousands.
This is matter that anyone can easily
test for himself. Open a dictionary at ran
dom and see how many familiar words you
find on the first page you strike. Here is a
page with fifty three words.
The majority of them would be under
stood by any tolerably we'll read person.
and a reader of the most ordinary intelli-
gence would understand at least these
ten: Barrel barren. barricade. barrier,
and base" This excludes all proper names,
all compounds like "barroom" and bar
tender" and all derivatives, such as bar
renly and ''barrenneSs.
Take another page, under the same re-
strictions, and we have ''jaundice, jaunt,
jaunty, javelin, jaw. jay, jealous, jean, jeer
and Jelly"-ten again.
sneeze, smoker, sniff, snip, snfpe, SWIVEL
snob"-ten once more. There are 1851
pages In all. and at ten words on each we
should have IL, $40 words familiar to the
man on the street.
There is hardly a page on which more
than five such words are not to be found,
but even an average of five would give
more than 5000 in all. Including com
pounds and derivatives the number would
be much more than doubled.
Shakespeare is said to have used $4,000
words and Milton $1,000 The estimate Of
the Indianapolis Journal that the modern
well-read person of fair ability and educa-
ton understands about $4,000 is not at
all excessive.
In the first two stanzas of that ia
miliar classic Mary Had a Little Lamb"
out of forty-one words, excluding proper
names, only six are repeated in any form.
Thirty are entirely distinct.

only few hundred words he could not
