evening to ride 90 police headquarters from
his home Conductor G. X. Durham informed
him that his star was not sufficient pass
port and said he would have TO pay his fare
or get off. Sloan explained that he had
been riding for nine months on his star and
no objection had been made before, but
Durham Insisted that the rules were that
only policemen in Uniform were entitled TO
ride free. When the motor reached the car
barns at Twenty-eighth street Sloan
stepped on, but having forgotten his dinner
Jucket started to get on the car again. 1t
is alleged that Durham pushed him of the
step and Sloan placed the conductor under
arrest and took him to police headquarters.
Conductor Durham, however. was not de-
tanned and no charge was made against
him. 1t is commended by the motor people
that Durham acted according to the COM

riding free when not in uniform is one
which Chief Richmond has been tryingSfor
several months to have settled with the
motor company, which under its charter is
required to give free transportation to all
police officers while on duty.

Mr.. Beck said the signs of the times in

tent, which finds its chief expression in
the indiscrtminate abuse OF wealth The

the ignorant, the envious or the malicious.

miads at the evil of the times and the de-
cay of morals
scientious- critics Of the times"-he con-
tinued. ''the present discomfort is due to
profound Dissatisfaction with the code
or commercial morals. Abuses of trust
have run riot They are not, as believe,
due to the fact that men are essentially
less honest than previous generations, but
in part to the intoxication that Inevitably
marked the most rapid and extraordinary

artificial character of our commercial ma
ehinery. The complex subdivision OF so
cial office has created diffusion and there

That artificial creation OF the law-the

is moral personality has been a pandora
box from which infinite good and evil ha,
participated. The surprising difficulty OF

held lat while Ollie Holder Haskins, &C
cording to the evidence, was In all proba-
billty the natural daughter OF the deceased
and that deceased had admitted this to his
sister, Mrs. Holder who subsequently
adopted the girl, the Acknowledgement

MED the claim Of Lena Haskins, who
claimed to be the common law wife of the
deceased thus making the two brothers
of Haskins the heirs to his estate.

man L. Reed, former clerk of the district
court yesterday for 311O, alleging that he
had lost that amount through failure Of

against one w. b. Maxfield. The judgment
was obtained in Justice Vien's court in

fact which became known to Lougee but
recently. He contends that had Reed en-
tered his Judgment, It would have been a
lien on the property in question and he
would have recovered the amount due him.
