POLICE AFTER BROKER.
Charged zcith Maintaining apart
ments for Running Children.

AS the result OF stories told by little girls at
the trial of Thelma Jensen last week in the
Court of Special Sessions and investigation by
the agents Of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children. it is expected that a
wealthy broker and club member, who Is said
to have been implicated IN revolving crimes
committed in the apartments run by the Jensen
woman in apartment house in West Forty
third-st, will be arrested when he returns to
this city.
Thelrna Jensen was found guilty OF maintain
ing an immoral resort last Thursday, and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $3.50 and serve year
in prison. The Forty-third-st. fiat was run Dy
a woman named Pilter, who is also wanted by
the police. The Jensen woman lured little girls
TO the apartment, where they became the prey,
1t is alleged, of the Wall-st broker and his
friends 1t is said that the broker had similar
flats on the West Side. and that he betrayed
their running expenses.
May Kenney, fourteen years old. one OF the
witnesses In the Jensen prosecution, gave the
first Information concerning the man and his
connection with the other resorts. she said
that she had been decoyed TO a house in West

IT'S BEEN A BAD YEAR FOR GRAFT"
Inspectors and Captains Want Legislature
to Raise Their Salaries.

Inspectors and captains OF the police force had a
meeting at headquarters yesterday and talked over
a bill which has been prepared for the action Of the
legislature increasing the salary Of each inspector
to 5000 a year and the salary Of each captain to
$500 a year. At present. with the exception OF
those inspectors who formerly were deputy chiefs
the inspectors receive 800 and the captains g. 100
1t has been proved by legislative investigations that
some OF the police captains have wonderful abn-
ity In saving money out OF their salaries The
testimony has been that many a captain of police
on salary of 81, 100 has been able to $4,000
or 10000 year. acquire large quantities of stocks
and bonds. lots in Japan, and even more valuable
real estate
The inspectors and captains had the consent Of
Commissioner Greene to prepare the bill. It is
expected that If the legislature passes the bill the
sergeants roundsmen and patrolmen viii also ask
for increase

BIT or FRENCH HISTORY.
An Empire Lost for the Want of the
 Right Sort of Riding Habit.
London Society.

London Society.
 An old legend. which makes no pre- tence to truth, tells how Kingdom was lost for want of horseshoe nail. But a recent volume of sober historical and bio graphical purpose. written by Count d'Herrison, makes 1t appear that the Elm press Eugenie. after the battle of Sedan. lost the chance to preserve the Empire of her husband by not possessing exactly the right sort of riding habit. It was the evening of September 3, 1870
 The news of the surrender of the French army and of the Emperor Napoleon at Sedan had spread about Paris. The city was excited and there was talk of a rev. olution and the banishment of the impe- rial family. At this juncture Emile de Gtrardin, a man who was trusted by the Empress and who had no little experi- ence during previous changes of Govern ment. arrived at the Palace of the Tuil- cries. If your Majesty were to appear on horseback in the midst of the peo- pie" Girardln said. ''and announce the abduction of the Emperor in favor of the Prince Imperial, your own assumption of title of Empress Regent. and the ap- pointment of Thiers as Prime Minister. the Empire might be saved. Something must be done to turn the tide.''
 The Empress accepted the advice. But when this leader of the worlds fashion sought for a proper costume for her per- formance. 1t could not be found The only riding habit in the Tuileries was a fantastic one of green embroidered with gold and silver made for a festal huat- ing occasion. and the hat was not less fantastic three-cornered affair of the epoch of Louis QuinZe. The Empress felt that 1t would not do to appear in this garb on such an occasion. Her appear ance in it might have the opposite effect upon the people from that which she in tended. The plan had to be given up te Empress and the Prince Imperial were banished and the Napoleonic Empire was at an end.

We often laugh at the ignorance dis played by foreigners of the geography of the United States. To locate Boston in Oregon or San Francisco in Maine is not hard job for some of the old world writers, but some of our home newspa- pers occasionally get as badly tangled in their attempts at writing up American geography, For example, a St. Paul daily thus refers to trip of some friends:
 From Seattle they went to Saguay and through the Chilcoot pass by boat down to Dawson. Here they took a chartered vessel and went north into the seas tra- Vehsed by arctic explorers and neared the vicinity of the North Pole. During their trip they passed the Diomede islands, which lie half way between Siberia and Alaska.
 A stranger to geographical limits and localities might read that without sec ing anything wrong, but the Minneapol Journal thus exposes the writer's errors
 Travel over the Chilcoot pass by boat is new form of mountain transporta- tion and the boarding of a vessel at Dawson for the exploration of the north ern seas is a feat never before accom- pIished People have been discouraged from attempting these things heretofore by the fact that the Chilcoot pass is (. mountain trail and not generally regarded as navigable by boat, nor has anyone ac- complished a cruise of the north seas by going north from Dawson possibly be- cause that city lies 1,500 miles inland and is surrounded by mountains. Somebody has also been misplacing the Diomede islands if MT. Peck encountered them or the voyage north from Dawson.
