DOES COLLEGE EDUCATION PAY.
Not Necessary to a Business Man, but
Desirable, Nevertheless.

Should one send his son to college?
The answer depends ON what kind of :,
youth the son is on what career he is
designed for, on the sort of man the f8-
lntt Is, ana on other considerations be-
SIDES. special and general.
As most Americans are ambitions to he
business men, the utility of the college
course with reference To the business life
Is n question of high practical mpOr-

debated to rags. Nevertheless. il Seema

ROOMS m BAD CONDITION.
Nurse Unable to Remain With Dy-

Health Inspector Conrad was complain
ant in the Police Court this morning in
the case OF Mrs. Ada Carter, an elderly
colored woman, who was accused OF hav-
ing violated the health regulations. The
inspector went to the woman's house, 3s6
jackson Hall alley. upon receipt of a COM
plant from a nurse who had looked after
a sick child at the house. When he reach
ed the house. he said. he found the sixteen
year-old daughter dying of consumption.
Judge Kimball was told that the rooms OF
the woman were in a terribly filthy condi-
ton, and the nurse will not return to the
house unless conditions are changed.
Judge Kimban admitted that the problem
submitted by the officer was a difficult one.
He said he did not see how the sending or
the woman to the workhouse would remedy
matters. He suggested that the dying giri
should be sent to a hospital. and the mother
finally said she would consent to the re-
moval. She also promised to clean her
rooms, and the court took her personal
bonds.

The judge said he dsliked very much to

OF the accommodation to families resulting

The published stories concerning the mar
rage of Walter Harold Tierney In New
York informed the local police Of his where

Baur went last night to New York with
warrant for the young man. 1t Is charged
that while in this city not long ago Tierney,
who is a travelling salesman, persuaded
William A. Price, clerk at the Metropolitan
Hotel, to cash for him a check for $50
T1erney was known at the hotel, and no
suspicion was aroused by the check trans
action until it was returned from New York

but it was not until the announcement or
the mans marriage that the authorities
learned of his whereabouts.
According to the story received here from
New York, the young man was standing In
the post Office at Utica Tuesday Of last
week when a pretty girl from the Utica
College of Commerce attracted his atten-
ton. He walked from the building when
she went out and in few minutes he man
aged to obtain an introduction. Instead of

proved to be Miss Bellinger, daughter of a
former hotel proprietor in Mohawk, attend

Tests Of Speedometers.

Tests of the speedometers in use in the
police department are being made by the
members Of the bicycle squad. Sergeant
Plemmons has charge of the work. The
tests are made on 18th street below Penn
sylvania avenue. 1t is thought that the
testing of the instruments will be of value
to the police when arrests are made and
the cases heard in the Police Court. Some
little difficulty has been experienced in
cases in court because of the inability of
the officers to say that the instruments on
their wheels recorded speed correctly. When
the tests are concluded 1t is believed, there
will be no further trouble of this kind.
