TOOK HIS TEACHERS MONEY.
The Charge Brought Against Little Michael
Curley OF School 81.

en-year-old Michael Curley, whose
parents live at 27s South First street, Will
liamsburg, annoyed his teacher, Miss Dora
Sullivan, in Public School 81, South Fourth
and Berry streets on Friday afternoon, and
for punishment he was obliged to remain
after the class was dismissed, During the
temporary absence of Miss Sullivan from
the class room Curley, 1t was alleged. went
up to her desk and took $40 from her purse:
Miss Sullivan didn't miss the money unit
after he had gone. She went to the Bedford
avenue police station and complained to
Capt 'Pinkerton, who put Detectives Meehan
and Collins on the case. They came to
the conclusion that Curley was the thief,
but hadn't the slightest evidence. When
they went to his home yesterday morning
the boy denied any knowledge of Miss
Sullivan's money.
The detectives searched his clothes and
in the lining of his coat they found the
money. The boy was arrested and at the
police station a charge of grand larceny
was made against him. He was then
taken to the shelter of the Childrens So

IRON IN BUILDINGS UNSAFE?
British Architects Doubt Its Durability y
Dangers Pointed Out.


LONDON, Dec. l8.-The collapse Of the
roof Of the Charing Cross station is causing
serious discussion as to the advisabillty
of the use of iron in modern buildings.
leading British architect, T. G. jackson,
in discussing the matter declares that iron
construction is still on trial and that in
many respects we have only reached the
experimental stage.
Mr.. jackson points out that the life OF an
iron structure exposed to the weather de-
pends absolutely and solely upon the thin
skin of paint which must be constantly re-
newed, but there are necessarily many
parts which cannot be reached by the paint
BRUSH but to which water can penetrate.
Mr.. Jackson questions the claim that a
coat ing Of cement and concrete renders steel
impershable, and draws attention to the
danger of miles of London housefronts
which are entirely carried by iron girders,
saying that the mere condensation that will
take place on cold metal at changes in tenn
perature is enough to do the mischief, and
as the mischief is covered from sight its
progress cannot be detected.
MIR. jackson concludes:
1T is reported that an engineer has
prophesied that no one will use iron or steel
in building thirty years hence. feel sure
that no architect who wishes building to
live should use it now. He would do wisely
to exclude it except in such minor matters
as ties, bolts, plates to stiffen the timbers
or small girders to carry the floors. When
so used iron is valuable servant, but it
makes very bad master"

Special Cable Despatch TO The SUN
LONDON, Dec. 16.-A suit brought against
the Taft Vale Railway for compensation
for injuries has revealed an example Of
nerve for which it is difficult to find par
allel The plaintiff claimed that the Jolt Of
q train threw him against a door, which
opened and allowed him to fall across the
track. The train passed over both his legs,
which had to be amputated.
The company produced evidence which
left no trace Of doubt that the plaintiff
had not travelled by the train, but had de-
hberately PLACED his legs on the tracks and
allowed the train to run over them for the
sake of getting compensation from the COM
pany and $500 from the proprietors Of
periodical which offers that sum to its
readers if any Of them loses both legs
above the ankles in railway accident
while in possession Of the paper.
When the plaintiff was found he was per-
iectly conscious. He produced three pocket
handkerchiefs, tied them together and
showed the man who found him how to
make a tourniquet. The man himself
properly adjusted the bandage. The fact
that there was not the slightest mark on
either his body or his clothes, although he
weighs 210 pounds and the train from which
he claims to have fallen was travelling at
the rate Of 80 miles an hour, aroused sus-
picions and inquiries followed A mass Of
evidence was produced showing that the
man ran the risk OF losing his life and the
certainty Of great suffering simply for the
eake Of the money he might get in the way

PARIS, Dec. l6.-In the Chamber Of Depu-

ton in which he recalled the signing OF
the Franco-Gernan protocol on Sept. 2s.
The Yellow Book, he said. gives evidence
Of the legitimacy Of the action OF France
which sought to obtain from the Sultan Of
Morocco assurance OF the security Of the
frontiers, but the Gaghzen had been power
less.
The Powers recognized the fact that
anarchy was threatened, and it was then
that the Kaiser interviewed, supporting
the Sultan's demand for an international
conference. France accepted the PROPOSE
ton. The action Of the French Minister,
Taillandier, at Fee had never bee n aimed

touch the Sultan's sovereignty.

Of our rights in Morocco the Premier said,
sto maintain in North Africa our position
as q Musselman power and to watch that
