Gordon's employ as clerk, and having
intelligence and a good education, worked
hard enough to earn place as trusted

he was agent and collector for Mr..
Gordon and carried large sums OF money
after banking hours. 1t was for this reason
or, with this as prctext, that he applied
for permit to carry a revolver.
Capt. Ward, in charge OF the information
bureau at sPolice Headquarters, said last
night that the procedure in getting permit
requires that an application shall be OBJ
tanned from Police Headquarters. This
is taken to the captain Of the precinct In
which the applicant lives and is endorsed
by the capt ain after he Is satisfied that
the application ia justified. The applicant
takes the application back to headquarters

zeal for lettering the condition Of the poor.

thought and his father said that he often
had declared that he would like to see the
President and interest him In securing
cheaper rate for buying coal for the poor.
