SHE CARRIED A CANE.
With It She Put to Flight a Hold-Up
Man Who Demanded Her
Il, Purse.

II t
Chicago, Sept. 4.-The overworked hat
pin, for years woman's chief weapon Of
defense and offense, is on the high road
to oblivion The star of a new instru-
ment Of retaliation is in the ascendant.
The new weapon Is the ia tosca stick
or, as 1t Is known in New York, the
Alice Roosevelt cane.'' It resembles a
bandmaster's baton in size and shape,
and 1t Is exceedingly popular with Chi
cago women. That it is serviceable as
well as ornamental was discovered last
night by Mrs. Charles p. Elliott 300
Groveland avenue, when she was attacked
by roughly dressed man at Thirty first
street and Cottage Grove avenue.
Give me your purse! demanded the
stranger, reaching out his hand and APP
parenty expecting ready compliance.
II shall do no such thing said Mrs.
Elliott salmly.
GIVE me your purse, or I'll wiring your
pretty neck"
| The words came sharply but the an
swer was sharper still: Mrs. Elliott car
ried one Of the new canes, and she
brought it into play with surprising agil-
ity. She used the cane as rapier-and
the end was pointed with steel cap or
ferule. The man promptly saw the point
or, rather, felt it, first in the stomach and
then in the face. With a howl Of rage
and pain the man. fed. When it was all
over Mrs. Elliott sat down on the curb
stone and cried

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Sept. 4.-John Nulty, dis
charged sailor, attempted to hug and kiss
pretty Fourtinto Larito. IA years DID, in
Madison Square last evening. She was in
the company of her two sisters and the
trio were listening to the band concert.
When the unwise tar started to do the
kissing act, the girls screams brought
every woman in the park rushing over to
where the child was struggling in the
mans grasp. -.
The three sisters began to strike Nulty
with their fists and he went down in a
heap with more than 100 Of the women
who had come to the rescue piled on him.
They scratched and tore at his face and
when he attempted to Use, kicked him in
the face and on the body.
The Larito girls, who had sharp little
heels on their boots, stamped the man In
the face. .-s.-..
Men in the crowd tried to get in to
Nulty as he yelled for mercy, but the
women waved them back, saying that
they would attend to him. Officers finally
fought their way thru the mob of women
and found Nulty unconscious. While the
officers were trying to revive him the
women tore his clothing into tatters and
scratched and tore his already bruised
and bleeding face. Finally some Of the
men took a hand and advised the women
to let the police arrest the man.
When Nulty got to the police station he
begged to be placed in cell at once.

TURNS PSYCHOLOGIST
Roland B. Molineux, in His New
Book, Explains Workings Of a
Woman's Heart.
New York Sun Special Service.

Now York Sun special Service.
New York, Sept. An Roland B.
Molineuxs new book, his second literary
effort, which is to be issued in few days,
he speaks for the first time of the sud-
denly severed bond between him and his
wife after his acquittal. There is no
tinge Of blame or censure in his brief
remarks. In fact, he argues justification
for his wife. The paragraph in his new
book, a historical novel, THE Vice Ad-
miral Of the Blue" cannot but be con-
strued as illustrating his own sad marital
experiences. 1t reads:
"Altho we idealize them, women are
but human and are weaker because more
tempted and more affectionate than we Of
the sterner sex. Woman demands the
daily tokens of devotion that God in
tended she should have. Without them
she fades as the rose unkssed by the sun
or parched for lack Of the life and beauty
giving dew. The husband who has ceased
to be the lover soon finds his wife no
longer the sweetheart, and equally so the
absent one is in danger, for absence
one else. It is only natural.
when years have passed since the
woman looked upon her husbands face,
whether the cause be warfare in a dis
tant land or misery behind a prison S
bars, the result is all but inevitable. AL
tho at first she is all devotion, anxiety
and love, plunged in loneliness and sor-
row. in time the memory of the man be-
comes to her shadow; he seems as one
dead, or if anything more real, living
barrier against happiness. For near at
hand is some one who will promise her
a renewal of that happiness of which she
has been robbed And when such a mo-
ment comes into the life of a woman she
is but honest, even If cruel, when she
frankly says: 1T is over. love another
A man, Of course, may speak no such
words. The bit Of chivalry that, remains
in us forbids."

Special to The Journal. o. -. -.<-
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 4.-Judge W.
H. McHenry yesterday morning signed
an order in probate giving to Alta Book
Of Chicago, the natural child of Francis
M. Stern, a half interest in the latter's
estate, which consists Of farm land near
Mitchellville, valued at about $4,000. En-
bodied in the order Is a clause providing
that $4,000 shall be paid at once to the
direct heir for pin money.
Francis M. Stern was a wealthy Polk
county farmer and stock raiser. During
his lifetime a child was born to a woman
who did not bear his name. The child
was given a home and surrounded with
many, luxuries. When Stern died, Dec.
S, 1902, it was his desire that the child
Alta inherit her share Of his wealth, there
being no surviving heors aside from
brothers and sisters and other more dis
tant relatives.
c. l.. Henney was appointed admins
traitor Of the. estate, which was claimed
by the brothers and sisters. The right
Of the child was challenged. The contro-
versy led to q, stipulation Of a settlement
July 16, 1908. This was terminated by the
| order Of court yesterday. Alta married
and went to Chicago with her husband to
live. They occupy modest apartments in
a fiat, which it is expected they will now
exchange for more pretentious quarters.

Prosecution Of the scoundrels to Be

Once.
Prosecutor Has Dictatorial Price List
In His Possession Sent Out
in Mysterious Manner.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Sept. 4.-Prose-
cutting Attorney Brown has been ut in
possession Of ample evidence showing the
methods adopted by local coal dealers to
Keep a inform price on ALL kinds of hard
and soft coal, COKE wood and charcoal.
The evidence presented to the prosecutor
Is the printed price list in red and black
debating the terms upon which all fuel
shall be sold in the city.
The evidence which Prosecutor Brown
has been accommodating is believed to be
OF such convincing character that it Is be-
iieved. that several prosecutions may fol-
low the investigation. He has now do
lists in this city
Every coal dealer in the city has in his
possession the price list sent out last
April, and also the amendment issued in
July but 1t is understood that no new
price list for September has as yet been
issued.
The dealers, to "a man, claim. not to
know the sender of the dictatorial card,
but all admit that they raised prices upon
| receipt Of it,
The document in the hands of the
| prosecutor has the printed date, April Is,
1903. The popularity about the supple
ments issued in July Is that they are all
stamped with apparently the same style
| rubber stamp. 1t Is explained by Mr..
Brown that the prices which prevailed a
year ago last August were the same as
those prevailing last July, and conse-
quently the old cards could be used by
stamping new date over the printed
one.
The small d callers on the outskirts
maintain they are not in the combine.
They claim not to know-of combine OF
the larger dealers: That they follow the
prices set by them, they admit willingly
and add that the, price charged for coal
is entirely too low. In fact, the small
| dealers are at outs with the largest sell
ers in the city. They say the price of coal
is kept at such allow figure. that they car
barely make expenses. Their bills of lad.
ing show that coal costs them $40 pei
long ton at Buffalo, to which is added $1.5C
transportation charges. sE
/ The price list which all dealers follow
quotes the price of coal subject to dis.
count, printed in black, and also the mel
cash price printed In red. Even the
charge to be made for carrying anc
shoveling is dictated and the cost fol
every measure from the bushel to the full
ton. Likewise, with wood. the price is Sc
on block, chunk and split wood.
With reference to a combine farther w
the line, among the operators and mine
owners, the dealers claim that they would
not be able to obtain coal at all if they Gu

New York Sun Special Service.
London, Sept. A dispatch from Ber-
lin to the Daily Mail says the forthcom-
ing designations Of the crown prince of
Saxony and General Treitschke, COM
manders respectively Of the twelfth and
nineteenth army corps, are said to form
a sensational sequel to the recent scandal
in regard to the Crown Princess Louise,
who eloped with Andre Giron, the tutor
of her children. It will be remembered
about that time her brother, Archduke
Ferdinand, thrashed the crown prince.
Both the crown prince and General Won
Treitschke have been practically ousted
from their commands, owing to the indg-
nation felt in high military quarters here
because the former failed to fight a duel
with the archduke. A Saxon court of
honor, presided over by General Won
Treitschke decided that 1t was not neces-
sary for the crown prince to fight a duel.
The latter acquiesced in the decision and
this awakened such angry indignation that
the positions Of both men We're made un-
tenable. Their last appearance as army
officers will be during the annual maneu-
vers next week.
