HlCHWAYMEN FAVOR
 GOLD WEATHER

This is the kind of weather for the hold-up men, said an old detective at headquarters last night. and I would not he surprised if one were pulled off before morning. They work best on q night like this. when the streets in the residence district are comparatively de- serted and there is little chance of being interrupted. It's an easy matter to do job at such a time. It is so cold that the victim can offer little re sistancc. and the high wind drOwns his voice. On such a night the avcra ge man falls an easy prey to anyone who has nerve enough 10 stop him and dc mand his moncy.
 People have an idca that cold weather favors all kinds of crime. but do not believe that ii does except in the one instance mentioned above. Ii may serve to make some criminals morc desperate. hut I believe this is counteractcd ny the fact that detec- ton is more easy in winter thine than summer. because the fugitive has tO seek the protection of the cities. where hr is liable to he picked up. But all this makes no difference to the hold up man. He does his job on the cold est nights he can find and then takes chances of lcing caught. t.-Kansas City Journal.

UNIVERSAL PEACE
Philadelphia Society Would
 Stop War In Far East.
SECRETARY HAY IS IN ACCORD.
"Government Does Not Relax Its Watchfulness Nor Abate Its Desire to See Peace Prevail, but at
 Present Cannot Act"

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1S.-Alfred II. Love, president of the Universal Peace union. which has it's headquar- ters in this city, has received letter from Secretary of State Hay in re- sponse to Mr. Loves suggestion that the government should make an effort to bring about cessation of hostilities in the far east on or before the coming anniversary of Washington's birthday. Mir. Hays letter is as follows:
 II have had the pleasure to receive your letter of the 9th inst, in which. expressing the appreciation felt by the Universal Peace union for the interest this department has shown in the cause of peace in the far east. you ask renew al of efforts in that direction at this time, which you think is opportune.
 This government has naturally watched with keen solicitation the course of the struggle in Manchuria and within all proper limits has sue cessfully endeavored to cause the neu- trality of the ncighboring territories to be respected.
 The president has been officially SO lcitous to see the war closed by an honorable peace. and if an opening for his friendly offices to that end should appear he would gladly act in what ever sense might be practicable. So far no indication of any disposition by ... t,,.t ttn thn friendly offices of any power has been apparent. On the contrary. each has made it known that suggestions to that end from without would be regarded as inadmissable. This government. how i ever. does not relax it's watchfulness nor abate its desire to see peace pre- vail and to do toward that end what ever humane duty may counsel or op portunity permit"
