SMALL BOYS
PLACED ON
PROBATION

Judge Frederick p. Byran had three
cases 10 decide yesterday in the Attleboro
district court in which small boys were
charged with tampering with street rail-
way signal lights. Agent Davis OF the
Massachusetts, state board OF charities
made recommendations in each case and
no sentences were imposed
The case OF Ernest Trowbridge. one OF
the boys chardged with fooling with one
switches on the Interstate Railway on
July 80, came up after two weeks con-
tinuance. and the boy was represented by
Attorney James II. Leedham. Jr. on the
recommendation OF the state agent the
case was dismissed, owing 10 the boys
mental condition.
A plea OF guilty was entered by the par
ents OF Exbras Besaulniers and Rario
Fredette, two Hebronville boys. who were
also charged with tampering with the
lights. State Agent Davis, in describing
the case TO the court, said:
These two little boys, aged and II
years, respectively, were playing near the
Hebronville switch several days ago. They
had seen the conductors throw the switch
and they tried IL, one boy holding the
other up. The lights were thrown on and
then of. The boys were seen by Mrs.
Walter j. Rowland and she notified the
car crews, so that possible head-on col
lision was prevented
Since that time. the parents of these
boys have taken them &c the switches and
have explained TO them the purpose OF the
lights and have tried 10 show the danger
OF such tampering. l do not think this
case calls for a severe punishment
tleboro. who appeared for the Rhode ISL
and company, said that the theory that
the lights were not built as they should
be, was wrong. for they were OF similar
pattern TO those in use all over New Eng
land. He asked the court 10 impose fines
in the cases. A fine he said. would have
deterring effect on the other boys and
would help to safeguard the public
Judge Bryram placed the youngsters on
probation for term OF 60 days.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN.
Police May Take Up Mrs. Sings
Story

The attention of Commissioner of Police
McAdoo of New York city has been called
to the grewsome statement Of Mrs. May
Coon Sing, formerly Miss Lucy Rosebury of
Littleton, W. Va. concerning the alleged
murder by Cinnamon Of their white wives
in New York. as published exclusively yes
terday in The Star. The matter was
brought before Mr.. McAdoo by friend OF
his in this city, who was deeply impressed
by the truthfulness of the woman's state
ment. 1t is probable that the police de-
partment in the metropolis win make a
searching inquiry into the alleged outrages
and also try to connect the Boston suit
case mystery with the dives and high
binders of Chinatown.
The statement made by the white wife
Of Woong Coon Sing, who Is said to be the
confidential adviser of Tom Lee. mayor Of
Chinatown, made deep impress on in this
city, as II did in New York where 1t was
republished in the newspapers of that city.
It is said the statements made by the wo-
man will be investigated by organized labor
and made the basis of an argument before
Congress against Chinese immigration.
A citizen who recalled the recent Boxer
troubles and massacres in China said to-
day that he was not surprised to learn
that Cinnamon in this country were carry
ing on such brutal practices as were de-
scribed by Mrs. Sing.

From the Techn1cal Worlo MaRazihe.
1t was nearly two hundred years ago
that Edmund HALEY constructed what is
often referred to as the first diving bell,
although the apparatus must have been
much like that which was used in the
presence of Charles V.
The principle of the diving bell Is simple.
An inverted jar, sunk in the water. retains
abr at it's top. and IL there is enough air
men may live and breathe and work there,
and keep dry.
DR. Halleys diving bell was a large
wooden chamber. open at the bottom and
loaded there with lead to prevent 1t from
turning in the water Pieces of glass set

rush into 1t and drive out the air to the

At the depth OF thirty-three feet the air is
compressed to half Its former bulk. and the

with water; and as the depth increases so
does the compression and the pressure.

advantage which will be appreciated in the

SIMPLE LIVING.
How It May Best Be Secured in These
Modern Days.

Modern Days
From the Queen.
A vegetarian regime is often a bugbear
to the majority of readers, who regard IT
either as an unmitigated nuisance or a
harmless fad. AS a matter OF fact. how
ever q diet from which flesh meats are ex-
cluded may today be made so appetizing,
so palatable and so satisfying that its adop-
ton Is by no means the modification of the
flesh that most people would think who
have not tried It. In the first place, science
has of late years made SO many strides In
dietetics that not only are there many new
food substances discovered or invented, but
there are now so many preparations Of veg
etable foodstuffs that an infinite variety of
dishes and palatable food can be put on the
table, and the absence OF meat Is scarcely
noticed or It's presence desired The science
and art OF cookery are now so well devei-
oped. and SO much facility has come with
practice, that there need be little or no self
denial in restricting oneself to vegetarian
diet. In fact, so varied. SO palatable and
profuse may a modern meatiess meal be
that 1t is open TO the charge brought against
the ordinary regime of being long way on
from the simple life now advocated. In
warm attitudes. where the populations are
densest, the mass Of the people subsist
mainly on cereals. fruit and legumes, with
milk. butter, cheese, fish and condiments,
according to locality and rank Of life. The
Japanese. for instance, are practically a
vegetarian race. and yet they have proved
themselves Infinitely superior in physique,

many European countries eat very little
meat because they are too poor to piir-
chase IT. Up to quite recent times the Hcot-

timately associated with DR.. Power for a
