pockets ard his own admissions fastened
the crime upon him.
The prisoner, who is good looking young
Hebrew with broken nose, described him
self as Harry Goldfarb. an importer, and
admitted that name and address were
fictitious. He said that his father is
retired business man and that his sister is
about to be married. and he didn't propose
to get them into the newspapers.
The prisoner was dressed in dark bust
ness suit. Among the things stolen from
Mrs. Lease was a small black purse having

monds. a gold bar, diamond earring and
several loose stones The prisoner said they
all belonged to Mrs. Lease. Tho rest of
the stuff he had pawned, and the tickets
we're found on him.
He got into Mrs. Leases apartments
through an airshait window. he said. and
was searching the bureau drawers when
Mrs. Lease came in. He denied having
had a pistol and said he did not touch Mrs.
"All did," he said, was to say BE quiet
now; don't YELL
-Then / brushed past her into the hall
and hurried to the street"
Altogethe twentythree pawntickets were
found on the prisoner, which he said rep
resented the proceeds of nine fathouse
burplaries committed within the past two
months on the West Side, between Eghtieth
and 155th streets. For Mrs. Leases prop
ertv he got, according to the tickets, 81 so.
The rest of the tickets represented a face
value of about $50
The bundle Goldfarb had with him con-
tanned table linen which he said he had
stolen yesterday from an apartment at
2Os West Eightieth street This was the
apartment Of Arthur Birch, whose family
is out of town, and who got home last even

RATES 4 PRESIDENTIAL ISSUE.
Senator Cullom Expects Railroad Tariff
Question to Loom Up in Next Campaign.


CHICAGO, June 1.-Senator Shelby NJ.
Cullom has returned to Chicago for the
summer to rest, study up the new primary
law, which DEGREES that after July Senators
shall be voted for directly by the people,
and incidentally make little political hay
preparatory to his fight for reelection next
year.
The Senator attended the railroad rate
hearing and made some comments on the
situation to-day. Senator Cullom was the
father of the law which led to the present
agitation.
THE question of railroad rates has grown
so important that would not be surprised
to see it become an issue in the next P resi-
dental campaign," said Senator Cullom
Il am hoping that the railroads will be in
clined to compromise the matter so 1t can
he adjusted, not only for the relief of the
people, but in fairness to the companies,
which have done so much to develop the
country and advance civilization. There
Is no doubt in my mind that the Interstate
Commerce Commission should have the right
If it hasn't the right now-to investigate
complaints and decide II rate Is unreason-
able.
@The railroads might compromise by
granting that right, and then the roads
might proceed to readjust things and fix
e reasonable rate. If that is not agreed to,
| would favor giving the commission the
power not only to say when a rate is IN
reasonable, but also to fix rate which Is
reasonable"

THE PROFESSOR AND
THE MESSENGER BOY
By E. w. Townsend,

Prof. Golden Pearley sat among a rather
light scattering of passengers In a Broad
way car. the picture of serene diligence. His
unattached belongings would have been
enough to nervously occupy the mind and
hands of a man of less calm temper, being
an umbrella, a pair Of gloves, u package of
papers and magazines and bundle of con-
siderable size and mystery which might have
remained on the professors lap if he had
had more lap to act a shelf. 1t was
this large bundle which had an important
part In bringing about the memorable &C
Quaintance between the professor and A. d.
7. Messenger Number Blank. Having de-
posted his gloves and umbrella on the seat
to his right. the package of papers and
magazines on the seat to his left. and the
bundle of peculiar construction where a
less ample belt line would have left more
space Tor it, the professor in a business-like
manner. took out memorandum book and
pencil and began entering data which had
been filed temporarily in his mind.
Five, several times, while he was so en-
ployed the bundle slipped from his lap to
the floor of the car, each time the A d. r
Number Blank picked 1t up and replaced It
on It's too meager shelf. each time the pro-
fessor lowered his head to look at the mes
senger over the tops of his glasses and
each time thanked him with a smile and
nod of frank anna bility, which added to the
keen interest with which the messenger
watched for the slow but certain return Of
