ARREST CALIFORNIA
COUPLE AS SWINDLERS
New York Police Allege Hoff-
man and Wife Gathered
Thousands in Realty.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-In the arrest
last night of Carl H., Hoffman and his
wife. Elizabeth, a handsome girl of about
is years, the police assert they captured
the perpetrators of real estate swindles
in the Bronx amounting to thousands of
dollars. The Hoffmans claim Los Ange-
les, Cal, as their home. Circulars are al
legged to have been sent all over the coun-
try recently by detective agency seek
ing to arrest the couple.
According to the detective Hoffman
called at the Office of real estate broker
last Friday and tried to make deal for
house in the Bronx, for which he
claimed to have a buyer. At a later
meeting for transferring the property the
agent alleges that Hoffman handed over
to bind the bargain a check for $1,000, pur-
porting to be drawn on the Bridgeport
National Bank of Connecticut, signed by
..Sahr," and apparently properly certified.
The agent then handed Hoffman 1866
check as his commission. This was soon
deposited by Mrs. Hoffman, who drew
against 1t for $3.50.
When the real estate agent took the
$4,000 check to the bank, however, it was
learned, SO the police charge, that no GER
tification of that paper had been made
by the Bridgeport bank. The police were
at once called in and succeeded in cap
turing the Hoffmans few. hours later.

CORB|N REPORTS
ON PHILIPPINES
Commander in Chief of Army
in the Islands Suggests
Several Important Changes
TO COMBINE FORCES
FORCES

MANILA, Aug. 23.-The report of Major
General Corbin. commander in chief of
the United States army in the Philip
pines. for the fiscal year 1905, in part
says that greater efficiency. harmony and
economy could be obtained If the division
commanders were members Of the Com
mission, and in addition to their other
duties performed those Of the Secretary
of Military Affairs to the Governor Gen.
eral. thereby placing all the military
forces, Army Scouts and the Constabu-
larry under one directing head. The re-
suit would be more unification of action
than has occurred in the past.
Division commanders should be selected
with a view to their special fitness for
this duty on the Commission, and should
always be persona grata to the Governor
General
Major General Corbin thinks that the
inauguration of a President should be
heralded throughout the possessions of
the United States. He recommends that
the army regulations be amended to pro-
vide for the firing of a national salute
at noon on Inauguration day at every
army post. He recommends reconsidera-
ton of the ruling of the chief of staff of
the army that no more colonies with civil
war records be promoted to be perma-
nent brigadier generals, and cites many
cases of able colonels who are deserving
of permanency, the service being entitled
to their knowledge. He prophesies that
the Philippines in the near future will
not only furnish their own coal supply
but will compete with Australia and
Japan in the markets Of Singapore
Governor General Wright expects to be
present in Washington when the bids for
the construction of railroads In the
Philippines are opened.

CRITICIZES AMERICAN
PROTESTANT CHURCH
Rev. G. Campbell Morgan
Says 1t Lacks Old
Time Spirit.

NEW YORK. Aug. PA criticism Of
the American Protestant churches was
voiced to-day by the Rev. G. Campbell
Morgan, who has been working in the late
Dwight L. Moody's place at East North
field. Mass. When on the point of sailing
for Europe on the Baltic, Mr.. Morgan
said:
The American church does not to be
much more than a social organization now. Its
members spend more time developing along
social lines than they do along spiritual lines.
The business the influential Christians
and others do not do their duty. Wrapped up
in their own affairs busy in the pursuit of
frivolity, they lose track of the way and forget
the pledge they made TO their church organi-
zation. The old fire and old-time spirit are
lacking. without which what be expected
but social clubs and leading away from God
and the oath7
What the churches want is more God and
less OF dress and social position, more spirit
OF the Master and less of strife for place and
money and more religion by example and life
than by talking and preaching.

POLICE HOLD
MURDER SUSPECT
COlored Waiter Identified as
Following Mrs. Mize, Who
Was Murdered in Chicago
EVIDENCE Is SLIGHT

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The police to-day
made a number of arrests in connec-
ton with the murder of Mrs Effie Mize.
who was shot on Washington avenue last
night by robber. but all of them were
released in the afternoon with the ex-
ception of William Bracey. a colored
man. Bracey had been a waiter at the
Holland Hotel and was positively identi-
fed by Nora O'Hara and Nellie Curran.
two maids employed in the Del Prada
Hotel, as the man who they saw follow
ing Mrs. Mize and Mrs. Wilson. her COM
panion. short time before the shoot
ing.
Both girls had worked In hotels with
Bracey and knew him well. They de-
clared that there was no chance of q
mistake In their Identification OF him as
the man they saw following Mrs. Mize-
Mrs. Wilson declared last night that the
murder was committed by q white man.
but when confronted to-day with Bracey
admitted that he might be the man.
Bracey, although a colored man, Is Of
a light yellow shade and In the dusk
might easily be taken for q white man
of dark complexion.
The two maids said that they would
not identify him with the shooting, as
in their declaration that Bracey was
close to the women at the time Mrs. Mize
was killed.
Bracey denies any connection with the
murder. He admits walking on Wash
ington avenue a short time before Mrs.
Mize was shot. but says that he went
away and was not In the neighborhood
when the crime was committed. There
have been no developments in the case
to show that 1t was anything else than
the act of a hold-up man who feared
that the cries Of the woman would lead
to his arrest and shot her to facilitate
his escape.

JUR|STS GATHER
IN CONVENTION
Twentieth Annual Session of
American Bar Association
Opens at Narragansett Pier
TALK OF LAWS ADVANCE
President Tucker Says 1t Re-
fleets the Development
of National Institutions

| NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l., Aug
23-Prominent jurists from all sections of
the United States are gathered here to
attend the opening sessions of the twen-
| tieth annual meeting of the American Bar
Association. Included in the number were
Justices White and Brown of the United
States Supreme Court and many profess
sors of the various law schools connected
with the great American universities The
conference will last throughout to-mor-
row and Friday.
The president of the congress, Henry
ST. George Tucker of Lexington Va, to-
day delivered his address. paying special
attention to the most noteworthy condi-
tions in statute law on points of general
interest made by Congress and in the va
rious State Legislatures during the past
year.
President Tucker In his annual ad-
dress said that great progress had been
shown during the past years ratification
of primary election laws by the people
of several States. Various laws passed
by the different States were reviewed.
One view impressed upon the mind, he
said by a review of these regulations, is
that while they come from forty-five
States and three Territories, organized
under different constitutions, a common
purpose, a common nope ana a common
ambition was diseernible for all in the
advancement of their own people and the
enlargement of their development under
the stimulus of truly American ideas.
He spoke of the impeachment case of
Judge Charles Swayne, and said:
While the result of the trial was the acquit-
tai of the defendant the grounds upon which
the result was obtained of the
charges as set forth In the brief OF counsel and
In their arguments before the Senate, are of in
terest in their bearing upon the laws which
control trials by Impeachment and the extent
of section l. article IL of the constitution.
1t is to be hoped that the acquittal of the
defendant is not to be taken indorse
ment by the Senate Of the views Of the counsel
herein stated.
In closing President Tucker said:
Ny closing appeal to the representatives of
the American Bar Association, who stand forth
clothed in prestly robes ministers at the
altar of Justice is for the yindlcation of the
claim that the profession Of the law is the
most ennobling and powerful for good Of all
the secular professions. With our loins girded
and our lamps burning association, by
keeping alive the fires of professional purity
upon her affairs, may. In working out her fu-
ture destiny. add to her proud achievements
in the history of beloved country still rich
er trophies in the exchange of our noble pro-
fession.
