RAN AWAY TO HELP THE JAPS
Boston Boy Got as Far as New York and
Is Glad TO 60 Home.

Stirred by d sire to see the world
and, incidentally 10 give the Japs helping
hand, Bertram Williams, the sixteen year
old son of a wealthy piano manufacturer
Of Cambridge, NJ 80, ran away from home
a week ago to-day and in company with a
negro boy named John Jims, the son of
one of his fathers employees, came to
this city.
Yesterday Bertram gladly returned home
with his mother after one weeks expert
ence in the metropolis.
When the two struck this city after pay
ing their steamer fare they had sl3 between
them. "Pinky" Jims had a friend some
where in the city, he said and they started
TO look him up. He proved to to- an old
blind negro named Green who lived with
a number Of other negroes in West l3ist
street. Here the boys slept at night after
wandering about the city all day. BY the
end of the week their money was all gone.
Saturday the two wandered down to the
Battery and spent the day gazing at the
passing ships, When they returned, foot
sore and hungry, to their friend the blind
man. they found Detective Sergeant W.
j. Fogarty waiting for them. The Will
liams boys parents had appealed TO the
Cambridge police to find their boy. They
in turn had wired description OF him TO
Inspector McClusky. Fogarty had been
on the hunt for the runaways all week
He arrested Williams on a technical charge
of vagrancy and arraigned him before
Magistrate Whitman in the Tombs police
court yesterday He was locked up in the
Tombs until his mother arrived few hours
later and took him home.
Where's your fricnd?" his mother asked.
-Oh, Pinky said New York was good
enough for him. He thinks he'll settle
down here for Will"

TANGLE or PRISONERS.
Emma Stein and Emma Klein Get Mixed
Up in a Police Court.

In one OF six disordery houses raided
in the Tenderlon on Saturday night Emma
Stein, the alleged proprietor, and eight
other women were arrested. When the
case was called in the Jefferson Market
court yesterday a woman who was sub
seuuenty identified as Emma Klein walked
I'D to the rail and was arraigncd as the de-
PENDANT
Uminger and Schmeeke, plain clothes
men, who made the raid, positively ident-
fed her as the one who had admitted them
to the house, as did John w. Koch, a stool
pigeon
The Klein woman positively denied hav-
ing been in the house raided or having
been arrested. She explained her presence
before the Magistrate by saying she had
come to court on a personal matter and
had mist AIKEN the name Stein for her own
name Several Of the other prisoners
when questio ned denied that the woman
was connected in any way with the house.
Bring in Emma Stein Lawyer Lowen-

clerks.
A short, stout woman who bore no great
resemblance to the other woman walked

WAS waiting outside for the case to come
up. Yes. know this woman, she said
in answer to question by Magistrate
Barlow. That's Emma Klein; she was
not in my house Saturday night"
This Is a nice puzzle, said the Magis-
trate. Are you officers positive that you
have not made a mistake? Did you see
this other woman who calls herself Emma

The two scrutinized the woman care
fully. Then they agreed that she was

Children under s years OF age" occupy
Just as much room proportionately in the
subway trains and keep as many cash

travel.
Cinnamon began to ride in the tunnel
yesterday. Being conservative, naturally
they held of for the first few days and
stuck to the surface and elevated trains.
Two OF them were observed in a subway
local clinging to straps. This in itself
was sufficiently novel to cause comment
Cinnamon usually manage by hook or crook
to secure seats, and charge of dynamite
wouldn't bulge them until they reach their
destination.
That particular species Of car hog who
stands in the middle Of the aisle and clings
to straps on both sides has also invaded
the new road Thus spread out his body
forms an effective barrier against move
ment In his end OF the car.
There is less splitting upon the station
platforms than there L. on the elevated:
Most Of the patrons Of the subway inclined
that way prefer to spit on the stone ballasted
tracks.
The proportion OF negroes riding does
not seem TO be nearly as great as on other
West Side lines OF travel
Nobody has a good word to say for the
advertising signs which disfgure the hand

WRONG YIDDISH CIRCULAR.
Sent Out From sullivan Headquarters,
Says Vote for Roosevelt.

Rosey the lawyer, president of the East
Side Constitution Club, was busy yesterday
trying TO explain to the Sullivans that he
and his fellow barrsters were not traitors
to the cause.
Rosey had caused to be drawn up and
printed in Yiddish a proclamation which
read:
The election OF Roosevelt means the COM
mencement Of the downfall Of the rights Of
the pushcart men. You now have one side
of Grand street. j Roosevelt is elected
you will have none. Elect Parker and you
will get both sides. Your constitutional
rights under Parker will be protected in the
Essex Market court. Men OF the East Side.

Parker. We will help you.

He ordered 10000 copies printed. 1t
appears that the same printer had an order
to supply an equal number of circulars
to an Independent Republican club, with
headquarters in Forsyth street These
circulars read:
nrospering as they never did before and that
a change from n certainty to an uncertainty
will only upset business, cause scarcity Of
money and bring about hard times. Vote
for Theodore Roosevelt and continuance
and an increase Of good times
Rosey sent for his circulars on Saturday
night and despatched a package of 10000
to the Sullivan headquarters with note to
the Hon Florrie sayin that 1t was his first
blast and that he would keep on blowing.
It was not lone before the boys had flooded
the East Side with the fiddish circulars.
Several distributors were sent out from
the Sullivan headquarters. Some time
later Abe Finkelstein looked at one OF the
circulars.
he cried to Christie Sullivan, and translated
the Republican circular to him; ,
"Send a committee after Rosey. Find
him dead or alive" was the command,
and six Sullivanites took the middle Of the
treet on a run to Rosey's office Rosey
was half dragged to the Sullivan head

PUBLICATIONS.
Harper's Book News
The
Masquerader

This is great, big, stirring
Story-a story that brands itself
upon the mind, a story unforget-
able. Published only two weeks
ago, the public has run away with
it, the book stores are begging for
fresh supplies and the volume has
been in continuous process Of
manufacture. The lending libra
ries have bought liberal supplies,
but, in spite of this, the chances OF
getting at the book there this side
of Christmas are slim.
When it was running serially
people kept writing to the editor
begging for advanced proofs, ono
man pleading that he had heart
disease and feared he might die
before it came to close. A
reader of the famous Blackwood's
for sixty years says: "Not since
waited feverShly tor Monte
Cristo to appear, have been so
excited by story"
The New York Evening Mail
says of the novel:
"This is story of strong man
and strong woman and their high
handed grasping for happiness in the
face of the moral law. The woman,
magnificent in her love, rises above
considerations of conventions, above
fear, above conscience. Circumstances
give her the right to follow the die
tates of an overwhelming passion.
X 1t will take rank with the few
really good books
TRANSACTIONS into French and
German have already been I'M
dertaken. The novel is being
made into play in England and
in America.
