TALE OF BOY
NOT BELIEVED
COrOner's Jury Says Eleven
Year-0ld Lad Who Killed

killed by her brother, Lester Stowe,
aged IL years, yesterday, would not

shooting was accidental and returned
the following verdict:
I'VE find that Rosa Stowe came TO
her death from a gunshot wound in
fiicted by Lester Stowe and from the
testimony adduced we find him amen
able 10 the law and recommend 10 the
District Attorney that he proceed as he

William SChmitz, Painter,
Finds His Hoard Stolen
From Hiding Place.
Son Of Victim, Arrested on His
Fathers Accusation, Denies Any
knowledge of the Money.

William Schmitz, a painter living at
T41 O'FarreH street, was robbed of over
s11 900 in gold coin last Wednesday
night. He reported the robbery to the
police as soon as he discovered II and
Captain Burnett set his detectives TO
work en- the case. Schmitz's son,
George W, was placed under arrest
on suspicion of having stolen the coin
and is being detained in the tanks
at the City Prison. but he denies that
he knows anything about the stolen
coin.
Schmitz told the police that he had
kept the coin in a crock in a secret
place in the house The money had
been in his possession for ten years
He has no belief in the stability Of
banks and fattered himself that the
coin was much safer in the crock than
in the vault OF a bank.
The old man suspects no one but his
son, who. he says. knew where the
crock containing the money was hid
den. The detectives on the case are
under the impression that il the son
was the thief he had confederate and
they are working on that theory.
Places the son has been in the habit Of
frequenting have been searched. but no
trace of the money has so far been
found.
Though the elder Schmitz is certain
that his son is the thief he said last
night that he would not prosecute
George. The old man is on the verge
of a nervous collapse because of the
loss Of the money, which represents
the greater part of the savings of a
lifetime.

Telephone Girls Of Europe.

A London correspondent who has a
London-P aris-Milan wire in his room
writes that in his opinion the tele-
phone girl is not quite an angel. He
finds the London telephone girls slow
and Indifferent, the French intractable
and impertinent. When the Whitaker
Wright trial was proceeding he found
himself late with some news and
rushed to the telephone. Absolute
silence followed his frantic ringing,
until he almost pulled the telephone
from the wall, After twenty minutes
or so a sweet voice said. Number,
please?" But" he protested, 81 have
been ringing for half an hour!" "Oh
really! l am so sorry, | was drinking
my teal"
In Paris the girls are absent minded
and usually make the connections
badly, but have invariably an excuse
and will not hear remonstrances.
The Italian telephone girl by the
side Of her London and Paris sisters
shines indeed. She is obliged to re-
peat the number wanted and so sci.
dom makes a wrong connection, she
Is prompt, and not exceptionally pert,
but she is lazy and will often tell you
that the person you want does not re-
ply when she has made no effort to
ring him up.
