FEDERAL AND MUNICIPAL
 COURTS CLASH
Deputy Marshal Shook and Judge Rogers Bring Matters to a Head By Arresting
 Inmates of Houses of Ill Fame

blers when it was known that Judge Rogers had q letter from Judge Brown directing him to act. Judge Rogers resented the interference of the city in that matter.
 The opinion on the street is unani- nous that if there is to be periodical raids on the inmates of houses of i'll fame accompanied with fines, the money should go to the city treasury rather than that of the federal govern ment.
 An effort will probably be made to secure from Judge Brown, Marshal Shoup and the other federal authori- ties some kind of an idea as to what the cities may expect in the future. The people of the city seem disposed to fight the matter to a finish and to re- tain possession of the authority given them by congress when it authorized the creation of municipal courts and put in the hands of the citizens the right to police the municipalities.
 Some of those arrested yesterday have engaged Judge Wilcoxen and will try conclusions as to the legal points involved.

THE BELLBOYS CHANCES.
Plenty of Opportunity for Him to Pilfer
in Hotels if He Wants to.
New York SunO

Guests of New York hotels are par
ticularly at the mercy of bellboys, so
far as small articles of apparel are con-
cerned. They can protect their jewel
ry and other valuable property, but
cravats, handkerchiefs, books and such
things are the treasure trove of the
bellboy, unless he happens to be honest
enough not to take a thing merely
because he wants it. The fact that
more things of insignificant worth do
not disappear is proof of the honesty
of the average bellboy.
Bellboys are engaged for hotels not
through any agency or intelligence
office. They go from hotel to hotel
asking for employment when they have
lost their work. 1t is a popularity of
the class that they cling to hotel work,
whatever difficulty they may have in
finding a place. They always want to
remain in one capacity or another
about a hotel.
There is local association of hotel
keepers who endeaVor to protect them
selves against thievish servants by
means of a detective bureau that sends
weekly bulletins to all it's subscribers.
These describe the bellboys, chamber
maids or walters who have been found
guilty of theft, tell of their peculiar
tiles of manner and personal appear
ance and identify them accurately
enough to keep other hotels from em-
ploying them. For even after they
have been discharged and possibly ex-
posed as thieves, the fascination of no.
tel work is so strong for them that
they run the risk of being caught rath-
er than try at some other line of work.
Guests in hotels may lock their
doors and do what they will with their
keys. But save when they are in their
rooms, they can never be sure that the
bellboy cannot come in. ~.
frequently pass keys are Sent for
and the boys bring them. The keys re-
main in their possession until they re-
turn to the office, and during that
there is ample opportunity for them
to enter any room they want to. pick
up any little object that may be living
about and then go down to the office.
Thefts of that kind can never be pre-
vented by the hotel management. and
the guests are able to protect them
selves only by locking everything I'D.
In nine out of ten discharges from no.
tells, the boys are sent away for theft.
They are usually the brightest and
most efficient, at that,

CASH IN THROAT
But No Reason for Deed by Boston Eie-
waited Employee.

Medford, Mass, June 19.-After a
search of several hours participated IN
by more than a hundred employees of
the Boston Elevated Railroad Co, Ste
phen A. Morse. a motorman, who dis
appeared, early this morning, was
found in the woods at the edge of the
Falls about 2.30 o'clock, this afternoon.
He had a severe knife wound in his
throat, and at the hospital to which he
was removed, his case was said to be
desperate.
Morse left his home at 4 o'clock, this
morning, apparently to take his car
from the barn, but did not appear for
duty. When Morses fellow employees
learned of his disappearance they
started out to make n thorough search
of the vicinity. The first trace of the
missing man came with the discovery
of splashes of blood at the edge of the
Fells near the Maiden line. From this
point Il series of blood spots marked q
path to a little thicket where Morse
was found lying on the ground. con-
scious, but helpless, with a deep cash
in his throat.
He was very weak, and had only
strength enough to speak few words
with those who found him. There is
no one to blame but myself for this, :"
he said, and then lost consciousness.
Although thorough search has been
made, no trace of a knife or any sharp
instrument has been found on Morse's
person or anywhere in the vicinity of
where he was found.
Morse has a wife and two small chill
drcn and is about Sc years old.

leave their homes to attend the acade-
mics do so with a fixed purpose, real
izing the need and worth of AN edu-
cation and work harder than they 40
when attending the public schools in
their home towns. In the public schools
also there is not so much opportunity
for Christian influence. Most of the
academies are allied with some denomi-
nation and have Il distinct Christian in
fluence on the students.
In closing he spoke of the great work
that had been done by Coburn as an
academy and of its bright prospects in
the future. This was almost in the
form of an eulosY and was marked by
love and loyalty to the school.
This part was done in a most excel
lent manner. Tho subject was we'll
chosen ard well handled. The delivery
was fine and the whole audience was
we'll pleased and very hearty in it's APP
plausC.
The gift of the class to the school
was made by Bay Edward Estes, the
president, and was done gracefully. The
gift, this year, is an electric lighting
system for the principal rooms in the
school building. Some gift has beer
presented by the graduating class each
year since the present building has
been occupied and of late years they
have been something practical and
useful. Many little things that the
trustees have been unable to give Their
attention to for one reason or anothc'
have thus been attended to in pleas
ing way.
The gift, this year, was accepted by
DR.. G.. d. Il. Pepper in behalf of the
trustees and in his own characteristic
style. Among other things he thought
that the gift was very appropriate as It
would give others the opportunity to
walk in the light that had not been en-
joycd by the class of 1903. The purpose
OF the institution was to give light and
the class had given in harmony with
this. 1t showed a progressive spirit in
changing from the ways of the old to
ways of the new. Others may have
cut up shines but this class was putting
up shines Switches, some times con-
sidered needful by principals, would
now he in plain sight for the use of all.
In closing he commended the spirit of
loyalty and love that had prompted the

and thanked the class very heartily for
it in behalf of the trustees.
The class prophecy was made by
Miss Helen II. Bassett. Her method
of getting at the fates of the class was
to consult the Sibyl mentioned by Vir-
gil. When she did so she received q
slip of paper bearing the instruction to
sit down under the first tree she came
to and wait. When she obeyed leaves
began falling from the tree, bearing the

fortunes of her classmates. A part was
obtained in this way and the remainder
in the labyrinth by unwinding a ball O
string she found there and which hat
bits of paper enclosed that told tho
fatcs.
Tue fortunes were amusing for every
one. Many of them We're greatly in
fuenced by events in school life and al
We're i'll accordance with traits of char
acter developed during the course
Nearly all We're to become famous
some in ways very unusual and unique
The address to undergraduates was
made by Harry +. Packard and was in
a more serious tone than these usually
are. 1t was not all so, there being some
of the boasting of deeds done by his
class and advice to others as to how
they should also attain the heights. But
he was more serious toward the close
and gave some earnest instructions to
the under classes. The audience was
we'll pleased with this Innovation and il
was a good address.
The singing of the class ode closed
the exercises of the forenoon. This
was written by Ward NJ. Libby ant
sung to the tune of Fair Harvard" 1t
vas as follows:
Fair Coburn, with sorrow we leave tn!
old walls
And now gather to BID thee farewell,
Though beloved by each classmate VIZ
leave one and all
To go forth now thy praises to tell
Chorus.
@ Cohurn, o Cohurn, We all hail to thee
May thy memories never grow old
Ever loyal will be nineteen hundred and

AS we sing of the crimson and gold.
TO Coburn VIC owe all our knowledge
and worth,
And to her will he faithful and true
As our fathers have given her nurture ant
May we, classmates, our homage renew
Farewell, be thy memories honored ant
To the comrades who leave thee today
in life. Not for SELF but for Others t
fight
May our hearts be united for aye"
The officers of the class are: Presi-
dent, Bay Edward Estes: vice presi.
dent, Miss Carolyn Eunice Kinsley;
secretary and treasurer, Julius Lawtor
Whitlock. The executive committee
that had charge of the arrangements
consisted of Arthur Eugene Winslow
Miss Minnie Garfield Reed and Merricl
Lyon Streeter.
In the afternoon the graduating ex-
ercises of the class of 1903 were held II

that it would not be necessary to oper

church was soon filled and the galleries

NEEDED SOMEONE.
So Mr.. kalievics Took the Servian For.
eiun PoStfoIio.

Belgrade, June 19.-The Servian for
eign minister, M. Kalievics, talked to
The Associated Press correspondent,
tonight, with the utmost frankness.
The minister explained the necessity of
some one taking office in order to in
sure the continuance of the federal ad-
ministration after the violent coup
d'etat of June IL. He was called to Of
flee, he said, practically by force, but
he was happy and willing to do his ut
most for his country in her present dis
tressed condition. He commented on
the tranquility which prevailed
throughout the country and even adj
mitted that he was surprised that there
had not been a single attempt at re-
prisalS from any quarter. He declared
that the mutilated version of the Aus
TRAN Emperors telegram circulated in
Belgrade in the latter's terms of repre-
hcnsion were surred over, was not the
work of officials, but simply a news
paper translation, the harsh sections of
the telegram being suppressed on the
editors own initiative.
Regarding the official version of the
tragedy in the royal palace, the minis
ter said the government was too busy
now to draw up such a document, be-
sides only the officers who participated
in it could give the details. He did not
expect complete revision of the con-
sttution after the arrival of King
Peter. Such changes as had been al
ready made were merely with a view
to it's easier working. NJ. kalievics, in
conclusion, expressed his confidence
that the new regime would restore
stability and peace to SerVia.

LOST HIS MOUSTAcHE.
Crusade of Trainer Whose Patrons
Pay Him $50 a Week.
(NeM York Sunl

Iucked away in an uptown side
street under the shadow of a towering
hotel is an athletic trainer who gets
from all his clients the liberal sum of
3oo q week to keep them in good phys
ical condition. They are a credit tn
him and look as If his services were
worth the money.
They grow strong as a matter of
course, the fat are reduced in bulk
and the thin made plumper. But there
is one other popularity of their train
ing which is not so much a matter of
course.
This is the tendency of all the train
ers clients to dispense with their mus
taches after they have had a course or
two under him. He is the determined
enemy of the mustache. He believes
it unsanitary and a survival of those
primitive days in which mems faces
were covered with hair
The trainer talks eloouentlv of tho
impossibilities of keeping a mustache
entirely clean, especially when n man
smokes. During the few minutes of
dally exercise that his system requires
tne trainer talks on many subjects.
HIS conversation covers a wide range.
ifut one subject always reappears
He never forgets the unhealthfulness
of the mustache.
SO his patients, If they are to be
called that, come to have certain dis
taste for the mustache, even if thew
have worn one for years. When he sees
a sign of weakness the trainer sticks
to the attack. SO toward the end of
their training period it generally han
pens that the mustache disappears
Some patients have withstood tbe
trainers arguments. But most of them
emerge from their course of treatment
stronger and with newly shaved unner
lips that are consciously stiff after
years of seclusion under the shelterinr
mustache.

Problem of the Minced Ham Sandwich

(New York SUM-

zone of the problems which per-

ton is a dark mystery.

We'll, pass on and collect a minced
ham bun at the next counter and then
speed for a couch. Sometimes I
nave trouble, but usually I can get
one by tripping up some innocent or
throwing n hat out of chair.
Then the trouble begins. If I've
taken Il swallow of the milk just to see
whether it's sweet or not, / find that
have to cut the swallows short or
else go dry before l finish the minced
ham.
Now eating minced ham dry is
ike chewing chalk. 1t closes the gull

sometimes Annie forgets to fill the
grass, and so the milk doesn't last.
You've got to take enough milk in

you don't its like eating putty. I've
tried time and time again TO get a
