RAISES FUNDS FOR
A MYTHICAL FAMILY
James Martin SoIicits Money
for imaginary Paupers and
Goes to the "Works."

James Martin, who figured as prin-
cipal in real estate swindles a year
ago, was arrested yesterday for solic-
iting aid for a mythical family, whose
woes and Affections he had been de-
scribing to plying people about the
city. AS investigation failed to reveal
the identity Of the unfortunate family
for whom Martin had been collecting
funds. and as it was presumed that
he pocketed the aims himself, he was
sent to the Workhouse yesterday by
Judge Hine, after pleading guilty to
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.
About week ago Martin called upon
l. w. Winslow, of the North Star
Housefurnishing company, and told
him about family he said was resid-
ing at 12S Western avenue north that
had been deprived of house and furni-
ture by a fire Sept. 2. William Hines
was the name Martin gave to the head
of the mythical family for whom he
sought aid.
Moved by his description of the sad
plight Of the family, Mr. Winslow gave
Martin check for So. Martin depart
ed, and day or two ago called upon
the employees Oh the furniture company
and they were willing to contribute to
the relief of the family. A purse of Sc
was collected, and Martin was to call
for the money yesterday morning.
In the meantime, however, Mr.. Wins
low spoke to NJ. L. Hutchins, relief
agent. about the. family, and as Mr..
Hutchins. had heard nothing of the dis
tressing yarn. he became interested
and wished to- see Martin. He sus-
pected that something was wrong, and
he was confirmed in his idea when he
saw Martin.
When Mr.. Hutchins asked Martin
about the family he was given evasive
replies. Martin became FESTIVE under
Mr.. Hutchins' scrutiny, and wished
to excuse himself, declaring that he
was serving on jury and had to be
at the court house in a few minutes.
It's a shame to make a man like
me take a two-dollar job like that"
exclaimed Martin.
Mr.. HutchinS, however, was not to
be STALLED" and he said he would ac-
company Martin to the court house to
see that he went on the jury. Martin
thereupon made an attempt to get
away, but he was detained by Mr..
Hutehipss~ who. called "a policeman.
Martin was then taken to the sta
ton, where he was recognized as hav-
ing been engaged in real estate opera
tiens, and was later taken to the
court, whence he was sent to the
workhouse.

pleased with the effect that he ordered
bottle sent to his home.
Responding to a suggestion of the
barber, Bevans allowed" that it would
be a darn site better If his whiSkers
d be blackened a bit" Dye was ap-
piled, and Bevans was so well pleased
with the result that he Calculated that
it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the
same solution rubbed on his head"
The work was finally finished and
Bevans, surveying himself in the glass,
was amazed at his own transformation.
In the depot during the hour or more
while Bevans was undergoing the OPP
Grafton that changed him from age to
youth, Mrs. Bevans and the children,
two daughters and a son, sat impa-
tiently awaiting his return, as he had
said he was going out for few min
utes, promising to return Immediately.
Police Search for Bevans.
So impatient and anxious did Mrs.
Bevans become that she informed Of
ffcer BouSe that her husband must
have been lost, and desired him to in
stitute q search for him. The telephone
became busy and soon the policemen
all over the down town district were
on the lookout for man answering
the description of the departed Bevans.
But no such man was to be found.
He had vanished. But after the lapse
of long and weary hour a man APP
peared at the depot who wore the
clothes of Bevans, but the vigilant po-
licemen failed to recognize in him the
missing stranger.
Few more exciting scenes have been
enacted at the depot than that which
followed the revelation made by Bev-
ans. Mrs. Bevans protested that he
had been robbed. and Officer Beuse
was again appealed to, this time to
secure a restoration Of the SS.25. Off
Ger Bouse referred the matter to Ser
geant Andy Call, who visited the bar
Der and secured an itemized statement
Of the expenses incident to Bevans'
renovation. The barber, however,
finally RENTED IS, and Bevans went
away poorer by $5.25, but restored in
outward appearance at least to the Wig
or of middle age.

The middle laws attempted to break
up the banquet Of the junior law class
Wednesday evening at the Internatfon-

middlemen and the arrival of several
members of the law school faculty
made it possible for the juniors to pro-
coed with the banquet.
The senior class, at meeting yes

The junior academies are to hold
their class election this morning. and
the contest is likely to be a hot one.
There are three candidates for class
president, Messrs. A. c. Koch, r. H.
Pratt and Harry Aldrich, and all have
strong support. There is also likely to
be some trouble in regard to the
gopher board. Some members of the

FIND WOOD ALCOHOL
IN HIS LEMON EXTRACT
Paramount Grocer Is Fined $40 for
Selling AduIterated Product.

Notice was received at the office Of
the state dairy and food commission
yesterday that c. Westerman, a grocer
at Fairmount, had, on the previous
day, been fined $40 for selling lemon
extract which contained wood alcohol.
George A. Dingman. deputy commits
sioner, said yesterday that until re-
Gently lemon extract made with wood
alcohol was very rarely found in this
state, but a number of cases of that
kind have been discovered lately, and
the department is active in it's en-
deavors to put stop to the practice.
The inducement to this form of adul-
teration is strong, since wood alcohol
can be had for 80 cents a gallon and
the higher quality of alcohol costs
from 1925 to $3.50.
c. A. Applequist, of Dunnell, has also
been fined $25 at the instance of the
department for the sale of cider vine
gar not up to the legal requirements.

DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS
PROTEST IN COURT
Judge Jasaard. Hears County AttOr-

A hearing on delinquent personal tax
cases furnished a heavy attendance at
Judge Jaggard's court yesterday. The
hearings were on the application by
the county attorney for judgments in
delinquent tax cases for the tax levy
of 1902, and the answers were mostly
of protesting character.
The sums in controversy were. as
a rule, small, but this made no differ
ence with the defendants. They pro-
tested vigorously, eontending that the
tax was unjust, or that they had been
assessed for property that did not be-
long to them.

He personally investigated every
claim of every dealer for every rub
Der heel before committing himself;
then, after testing the uniformity OF

sent the following to the O'SulIivan
Rubber Co.:
Your heels are perfect. I have used
three pairs of them and can say they
are far superior TO any other make, as
have tested nearly dozen different
kinds"
Here is a comparison for you.

BURNS PROVE FATAL
TO LITTLE ONES
FNe-Year-Ogd Daughter and In
FAINT Son of Philip La Motto
Die-Mother Very Low.

Two fatalities have resulted from
the gasoline explosion that occurred
Wednesday morning at the home of
Philip La Motto, 119 Douglas street.
when Mrs. La Motto, her sixteen
month old son, Lawrence, and her five
year-ol daughter, Alma, were terribly
burned.
After battling for life over twenty
four hours the baby died at the city
hospital yesterday afternoon at $3.50.
Seven hours later the baby's sister,
as badly burned as he had been, died
at the hospital.
In a room next to that in which her
two children had died so shortly after
each other lies Mrs. La Motto in a
critical condition. So serious is her
state. and SO anxious is she over her
two children that the physicians deem
ed it best not to tell her Of her be-
reaVement.
Mother May Not Survive.
1t is feared that the shock, when the
news of the death of the children is
broken to her may prove fatal.
The baby was burned over the en-
tire body. and his tiny head was bis
tered and charred in terrible manner.
The little girl was also burned so bad
ly that recognition was almost impos-
sible.
The stricken father, Philip La Motto,
motorman, employed by the street
railway company, was broken-hearted
at the double loss he sustained yester-
day. The loss of his daughter, follow
ing the death of his son, was almost
more than he could bear He was not
allowed to see his wife in his heavy
affection.
Side by side the collins of the two
children will be laid away, after q dou
bic funeral will be held, probably Sat-
urday. The mother will be unable to
attend the services or see the bodies
of her children. ave .7,y

while chatting with my friend in

shaky, entered and took n seat on the
opposite side OF the room.
presently he arose from his chair
uptocd across the room, making a wide
sweep and closely examined n hatrack
near the door. Without a word he
sneaked back 10 his seat, again careful
to avoid the center OF the floor. In a
few minutes he repeated these tactics,
slipping with great caution over to the
hatrack and back and avoiding the CEN
ter OF the room. On the third trip n
fellow patient asked him why he was
so anxious about tie hatrack and what
there was to shy at on the floor. In

came this reply:
