DENIES WARRANT
To JAPANESE

George Otani, the Japanese boy who
accused Special Policeman Richard
Harvey and Druggist Ignatz Beck of
134S Ellis street with having hand
cuffed and extorted $105 from him, was
refused warrants yesterday when he
applied for the arrest of Harvey and
Beck.
Beck produced testimony that dis
credited the honesty of the boy to a
marked degree. Mrs. NJ. Wexelberger
of 1854 Ellis street employed Otani
before he went to work for Beck. One
day she found most of her silver knives
and forks missing and later discovered
them wrapped up in one of Otanis
aprons. She then dismissed him and
when she learned that he found en-
ployment with Beck told the latter
Of the incident and warned him about
the boy.
The 500 drawn from the Kimmon
Ginko by Otani and given to Beck was
done at the suggestion of the Japanese
the druggist said
HE admitted that he was taking
money from my stamp drawer for
months said Beck. and offered to
make full restitution If I would not
have him arrested He begged me not
to tell any of his Japanese friends of
his thieving.'
Beck has numerous friends in busi-
ness circles in San Francisco who vouch
for his probity, and the police and
other authorities are satisfied that
Otani misrepresented facts to Japanese
of alleged extortion. The police said
yesterday that they intended to keep
an eye on the boy while he remained in
San Francisco.

Many players who realize the impor-
tance of such large details as paying
attention to the score when they are a

making it spades when they have only
two to go and seven spades IN their

they steadfastly refuse to do. The

AT the score of 1ove-all, many play
ers would make this diamond; others
would prefer to leave It, hoping to find
dummy with big honor score in
hearts, or no-trumper. But let us
suppose the dealers score to be % to
"a, the declaration should undoubtedly
be clubs, because the odd trick might
be lost in diamonds, which would give
the adversaries the game. while thoy
would have to get two by cards in
clubs, very unlikely result against
these cards. The dealer, on the other
hand, would have to win two by cards
in either suit to go game. and there
fore clubs is the safer and better call.
These may seem trif1ing details, and
beginners may think that such oppor-
tunities to discriminate or choose sell
dom arise, but it is by attention to just
such things that games and rubbers are
won, and by inattention to them that
they are lost. After the beginner has
learned to vary his declarations ac-
cording to the game score, he should
seize every opportunity to practice de-
claring on the point score, always look
ing out for the possibility of the ad-
versaries winning the game on his deal.
AS an example of planning the play
of hand in advance, take the follow
ing position of the cards, in which q
has declared no-trumps at the score of
love-all.

Give the dealer these cards at the
score of love-all, and even experts
might differ as to the best declaration.
Some would leave it; some would go
no trumps on two suits; some would
declare hearts, on the theory that
dummy cannot have any better decla-
ration, while others again might call
diamonds on account of the certainty
of the honor score and the safety, the
hearts being good for two tricks as a
plain suit.
But let the score enter into con-
sideration, and expert opinion becomes
at once agreed. Let us. suppose the
dealer is % up to the adversaries' "a.
No good player would hesitate for a
moment in declaring hearts, because
1t is not necessary to make the odd
trick worth II points, and the odd trick
in diamonds Is not enough to put him
out from %. BY declaring hearts he
wins the game If he gets the odd trick.
If the adversaries get the odd trick they
win the game In either red suit or at
no trumps, because they are "a up;
but IL the dealer calls diamonds he
must get two by cards to win.
This is not the only score at which
the dealer would declare hearts in
preference to diamonds on such cards.
Suppose he were IA to 18, or IA to "a
He must make 1T hearts, so as to go
game with two by cards. He would
have to make two by cards to win
the game at no-trump, so there Is no
inducement to make that declaration.
If he should declare diamonds at either
score he would force himself to make
three by cards to win and at the
same time he would be giving the ad-
versaries a chance to go out If they
got the odd trick in the one case, IA to
"a, or two by cards at IA to IS. This
would be giving them the best of it
without any compensating benefit to
himself.
But now let us take this same hand
and suppose the dealers score to be
Is to IA, or Is to %, and prudence
would at once suggest the diamond
declaration. A no-trumper would be q
foolish risk at such a score, because
If dummy has the cards to help out
such declaration 1t Is sure game
hand with either of the red suits for a
trump. The dealers score being IS, 1t
will take just as many tricks in hearts
as in diamonds to put him out; but If
the adversarfeS are at either IA or %
they must get three by cards in dia-
monds in the first case, or two by cards
in the other; a result which seems i'm
possible, unless dummy has an abso-
lutte Marlborough. If the dealer calls
hearts at such score he gains moth
ing by 1t himself but gives them a
chance to go game with the odd trick
If they are % up, and makes 1t possi-
bic for them to beat him if they can
get two by cards when they are IA up
Let us take another hand. Suppose
the dealer holds the following cards.

GIee Club Trip.

The Middlebury College glee club re-
turned last Sunday from as successful
a trip, if not the most successful one that
has ever been undertaken Everywhere
they sang they were greeted by large
and very enthusiastic audiences. Their
popularity is shown by the fact that
to forty-eight numbers which they gave
twelve each night-they received fifty
seven encores fourteen of which were
double encores.
The club left Wednesday noon and
went directly to Cambridge, N. Y, where
they gave their first concert under the
auspices of the senior class of Cambridge
High School. They scored a decided
hit there, and were greeted by very
enthusiastic audience. They also sang
at the opening exercises of the Cam
bridge High School the next morning.
From Cambridge the club went to
Castleton, VT, where they sang under
the auspices of the senior class of the
Castleton Normal School. Here they
were greeted by what was for Castleton
a phenomenal audience, as regards both
size and enthusiasm. After the concert
the students of the Normal gave the
boys very enjoyable dance.
From Castleton they went to Gran
vile, n. Y, which is familiar to many
students and alumna as the home of the
Barnard Twins" who were so promi-
nent in the Glee club a few years ago
There they sang for the benefit of the
Baptist church, and here also were greet
ed by an exceptionally enthusiastic audi
ence.
The last concert of the trip was given
at Fair Haven on Saturday evening for
the benefit of the Carnegie Library
Fund. Owing to a severe thunder
shower which came up Just as the con-
cert was about to commence and the
lack of lights for a short time, due to
burned out fuse at the power house,
the audience was rather small and the
spirits of the club somewhat dampened
Despite these difficulties. however, the
boys were very well received and the
applause generous.
The club was handicapped in every
place except Castleton by an entertain
ment the night before. Yet despite this
fact. they were greeted by large audi
ences, and it is safe to predict that if
they sing at these places next year they
will draw full houses.
The following men went on the trip:

Could an Irish heart be quiet
While the spring was running riot,

No familiar note was ringing,
But strove to initiate them an whistled
like lad
On, my heart was warm to love them
For the very newness of them
For the ould songs that they helped me Ia
forget-an' I was glad.
SO Knocked the feathered choir

An / gloried in the comradship that made
their Joy my own.

All the rest thrush was trilling!

Nor do we think that the Secretary of
State would, if carrying out, or attempt
ing to, the farce of being the law making
body.
The courts, so far as we know, have
gone right upon every important ques-
ton that has thus far come before them
connected with this subject. We have
had occasion to mention the case in
Pennsylvania where mdndamuS was
asked from them to compel a corpora
ton to permit the use of automobiles
upon their road. which they had for
hidden. The decision was complete
that the corporation was well within its
authority when refusing to permit such
use.
And we publish in this paper account
of suit brought in Indiana for damage
caused by team being frightened by
an automobile; and where a verdict of
$4,000 by the lower court was affirmed by
the Supreme Court of the State, to which
appeal was made.
Here are two very important decisions,
both of them practically resting upon
the fundamental fact that the automo-
biles were without rights in the premises.
One or two more similar decisions
and they will come-will break up the
meeting. The people have nothing to
fear, certainly in Vermont, or indeed
anywhere in the whole country. The
Courts, following the fundamental prin-
ciples of justice, will see that the rights
of the great body of the people; the 81
per cent out of 100, are protected.

Some said he wrote without any knowl-

yet he was the master technician of his
age. In truth, he was as theatrical as
Shakespeare: but, like Shakespeare, he
knew how to disguise his theatricalism
with the true characteristics of life and
1t was the art of concealing art.

obsolete as the plays of Congreve and

The average critic will judge him by
his modern realistic plays, like 1.-The

above. But he was equally adept in

Lady Inger of Ostraat," and in the
poetic drama as shown by his peer

To many of the public he may. still

Oflnterest to Horsemen.

Judges of the Supreme Courts are dis
posed to see that the rights of those who
drive horses upon the public highways
are protected. 1t is announced that the
Supreme Court of Indiana has sustained
the decision in the case of Susan Orner
against William H. Mcintyre.
Mr.. Mcintyre ran his automobile with
in few feet of pair of horses that
Mr.. Orner was driving, though the
horses were plunging wildly at the time.
The horses ran away and Mr.. Orper
was thrown from his carriage and in.
jured. Suit for damages was brought
against Mr.. Mcintyre, and the court
decreed that the latter should pay $780,
The case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, which sustained the decision OF
the lower court.
The Supreme Court ruled that the
care which the driver of an auto must
give to his machine and the road he il
travelling does not excuse him from the
duty of observing horses that he meets
and noticing whether or not they are
