Young Pittsburgers Charged With
Breaking Into a House.
Predicament of Frank S. Galley,
Nephew of Wealthy Oil Man,
and j. r. Boyd, His Clum.

Pittsburg, Pa.-JohnstoIe r. Boyd,
son of of the best families Of
Pittsburg, was arrested charged with
being an accomplice of Frank S. Galley,
son of the late Samuel Galley, a mil
lionaire, who is accused Of attempting
to rob the home of James B. Laughlin.
Both young men were held by the
police for a hearing on a charge of
entering with intent to commit felony.
The bail demanded and furnished was
$1,000 il each case.
The police are as adamant, refusing
to be moved by the tears, prayers or
threats of several milllonalres who
came to the front to have the affair
squelched.
Police Inspector Robert S. Gray, wt9
has charge of the case, said: every
effort has been made on the part Of
the best families of Pittsburg to have
this case hushed up. They have at
tempted to make it appear that the

went to the Laughlin house for the
purpose of robbing it. 1 examined
young Galley, and he practically adj
mitted it, although he blamed young
Boyd for having suggested the job.
eff Mr.. Laughlin refuses to prose-
cute the boys, 1 will do SO. myself. I
am under the impression that they
may know something of some other
robberies that have been committed in
the fashionable residence district.
Galley and Boyd are the principal
witnesses in the suit against eX-
Policeman Rufus Ullman. charged with
shooting and killing W. De Forrest
Lappe, Il prominent young society man
and a prominent composer of light
operas, early last year. Just prior
to the shooting Of young Lappe, a
large number of hold-ups had been
committed about town and the police
were Instructed to be on the lookout
for the robbers. On the night of the
murder, Lappe, Galley and Boyd were
noticed acting in a suspicious manner
in Second avenue, in the heart of
the Tenderloin district. All three of
them were in evening dress, and, ac-
cording to a story they told a~fterward,
they had attended a social function
in the east end. After it adjourned
they went to the Tenderloin.
At 4 o'clock in the morning tile three
boys were noticed at Second avenue
and Market street. Just before that
hour two hold-ups had happened in
Second avenue. An officer ordered the
boys away and they became quarrel
some. The officer threatened them with
arrest and they started to run. Officer
Ullman joined in the chase and killed
Lappe as they ran.
I'VE are going to Investigate this
case throughout" declared Inspector
Gray. "To my mind there is a very
strong possibility that these same boys
may know something of the hold-upS
in the Tendcrloin which -timately led
to the shooting CT young Lappe."

Humility.

We in pride are apt to think that
to humble ourselves is to be forced to
an unwilling surrender. a hard neces-
sity of submission. But with our graz
cious Father, to humble is not to hui
initiate. The true and best humanity
is that which love wins from us as the
sunshine and soft breath of spring WOO
the flowers from the %hedgerow. OF old,
when God would humble Israel, He
fed them with angels food, or, as it is
rendered in the margin, Every one did
eat the bread of the mighty."-Psalm
xviii: 25.-Mark @. Pearse.

A RECIPE FOR DIAMONDS.
If Anyone Wants to Make n Few,
Here Is the Way to Go
About 1t.

Would you like to know how to man
utacture diamonds-real diamonds?
The process is somewhat difficult. re-
curing time. patience and some out
lay of money. but then consider the
possible results! The diamond. we
know, says the New York Herald. is
simply carbon In a transparent crys-
talline form. 1t comes of humble par
entage and is brother to the lump of
coal
Unlike easily crystallizable bodies
| carbon is insoluble in all ordinary sol.
vents. but molten metals will combine
with 1t. Let the diamond maker choose
iron for a solvent for charcoal. melt
ing 1t in an electric furnace. allowing
1t to take up as much carbon as IL can
in other words. saturate itself with
carbon. The crucible containing the
white hot metal should then be plunged
into bath of molten lead The result
VIII be that globuies of iron will rise
to the surface of the lead and are
| quickly cooled on the outer surface.
Inside the hard crust the iron re-
mains for some time in a molten con.
dition, and. as iron expands in solidi.
flying, the contents of these little glo-
bules receive a pressure unattainable
by any other means. When che leac
becomes solidifed some bullets OF iron
will be found bound up in the mass.
Dissolve with some powerful acid first
the lead and then the iron. and a resi-.
due OF carbonaceous matter will be
found to contain tiny crystals-real
diamonds. Any chemist with a well
equipped laboratory can make dia.
monds In this way. but the largest OF
them will not be more than a fiftieth
OF an inch in diameter.
