1t will be there for whole year.
The text, which occupies billboard
twenty-five feet long and eight feet
high, facing the bridge on the south at
the curve into Sands street, was viewed
yesterday, for the most part with ex-
carnations of astonishment, by 5OO,0On
PERSONS who passed across the struc-
ture.
Who caused the big gospel sign to be
painted is as yet a mystery. 1t was
completed only Monday morning, and
was practically under public observa-
tion yesterday for the first time. 1t is
joined at one end to a large whisky
advertisement, and this curious juxta-
position was the main topic of COM
ment yesterday on the part of the
bridge passengers
The sign stands on the roof of the
fiVe-story building, 97S Fulton street,
the ground floor of which is occupied
by a saloon. The building is owned by
D. Haggerty, rich old neighborhood
grocer, whose little shop is at SO WASH
ington street, near by.
Mr.. Haggerty refused to divulge the
name of the man who had the gospel
sign painted.
The arrangement, it was said, was
made by tall, thin young man, who
said that several religious men were
associated with him in the enterprise.
He requested that his name be kept
secret. He said he had been looking

CHILD CRIME IS
ON THE INCREASE,
MANY YOUNG OFFENDERS ARE
ARRESTED
Officials of Department Say Harm
Done by Youthful Miscreants
Among Their Associates Can
Hardly Be Estimated

Police reports of the last few months
show that child crime is growing in
Los Angeles with great rapidity.
The arrest of Adolph Rivera of 52s
Also street last evening brought from
the head of a department the express
sion: IF L could learn the secret OF
preventing this reign of child crime
] would sacrifice much. And if L could
prevent it L would sacrifice much
more"
Rivera is thirteen years old, but is
well known to the police. Attracted by
the sight of hundreds of loose car
tridges lying on the counter of a Main
street shooting gallery, Rivera stepped
up to the counter and when he thought
no one was looking took a large guam
tity. He was Immediately detected
and his arrest followed.
There seems to be no end to this
reign of petit crime" said a police Off
cial yesterday. IT is not so much the
few lads who are continually in trou-
BILE, but the boys they lead into vice
and crime through association.
Comparatively speaking, it is very
easy to take care Of those boys who
are known to us. and with some little
difficulty the new cases can be cared
for. But the real trouble is that the
more general child crime becomes the
more it spreads, and the evil influence
pulls in the innocent
"Once a lad becomes n hardened
little criminal he has made himself a
likely candidate for the penitentiarv
It has been our experience that few
lads are saved out Of the many that

MAGGIE ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
She Cooks Now for Senator Hannas
Widow at the Swell Gotham
Hotel
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-"Hannas s
Maggie the concoctor of that historic
hash with which the Ohio senator re-
galed distinguished breakfast guests,
Is at the Gotham hotel.
She is there In her professional ca
pacity as cook, but the guests of the
house, with single exception, are bar
red from the Gastronomic delights Gre
ated by her skill.
Maggie cooks for only Mrs. Mark
Hanna, the senator's widow, who has
esta blished herself permanently at the
Gotham. The only private hotel kitchen
on record has been constructed for her
exclusive use and under her personal
supervision 1t is entirely apart from
the main kitchen of the hotel, and
every utensil in Its equipment was Sc
lected personally by "Hanna's Mag
gie.''
All this was accomplished by Mrs,
Mark Hanna in the face of seemingly
insurmountable barriers. No sooner
had she decided upon New York as a
place of permanent residence than
she began to plan for the installation
of Maggie as her personal chef.
When the idea was first suggested
at the Gotham the management nearly
collapsed. The unheard of plan of a
personal chef was bad enough, but the
scheme for separate kitchen amazed
the management.
But all things are possible for wo-
man with an accurate knowledge of
what she wants and the money to pay
for it. SO the Hanna kitchen was con-
structed and the triumphant Maggie
hurrying in from her Ohio home took
possession.
There is no record of this favored
cooks full name-so far as can be
learned. Through all the years of her
service with the Ohio senator she was
known only as Maggie, and as the
fame OF her dishes spread, the title was
heightened to "Hanna's Maggie"
President Roosevelt has partaken Of
Maggie's hash time and again, and
has found II good. Many other distin-

THRUSTS DEATH ASIDE
Trainman Lifts Baby From Track
Before an Onrushing
Train
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PORT JERVIS, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Fire-
man Charles Reugger and Trainman
Dwyer of a Delaware division way
freight heroically saved the life of a
little girl yesterday.
The way freight was coming east at
a lively speed. Near Hancock En-
gineer Daniel Reagan was Mortified to
see a girl about years old directly in
front of the engine and only few
yards away. She was too young to re-
alize her peril and frolicked on the
ties.
Reagan applied the emergency, but
it was apparent the train could not be
stopped in time, so Fireman Reugger
and Trainman Dwyer ran along the
running board to the cowcatcher.
Although his own life was in danger,
Dwyer made his way to the very end
of the pilot and reached ahead Of the
train. He was being held from falling
forward by Fireman Reugger and slip
of either of the men would have meant
death.
Dwyer leaned far over, grabbed the
child and held her in the air as Reug-
ger helped him to a safe position. The
engine passed several yards more over
the track before 1t stopped.
The child's mother, thinking her little
girl was killed, ran screaming down
the track When she saw the little
one safe she wept with joy and graft
tude.
