Miss Anthony a Great Woman.

Commissioner mcfarland SAID:
Nowhere is Miss Anthony more ad-
m:red and beloved than in the National
Capital. Always open-minded to new
ideas, always friendly to reforms. and
even to reformers. it has welcomed her
publicly and privately as one OF the
great women OF our country and of the
world
I've may differ about her cause per
sonally I believe in It. and that it will
win whenever women generally embrace
1t, for they are the real ruIersl. but We
ali agree about her and about the great
good which her brilliant and courageous
career has done"

CONFESSED AND GAVE UP

NEW YORK, Feb. ia waggish
icicle that dropped" TO the situation al
the psychological moment was the I'M
solicited first aid to justice when it laid
low a pigeon thief. frightened a police
man out of his senses, and altogether
perpetrated a practical joke of the low
est description.
Nightly pigeon raids have been made
In Police Captain Thomas Darcy's dis
trict In Long Island City, and all the
men have been instructed to keep
sharp lookout for the midnight prowf-
ers.
AS Dawn Broke.
Policeman William P. Maher, just as
dawn was breaking. caught sight of
three men at the corner of Steinway
and Flushing avenues. One carried a
bag on his back. and the actions of the
three were so suspicious that he order
ed them to halt Their reply was to
break into a run, and with Maher in
pursuit they dashed through Flushing
avenue.
When the policeman found them gain

Of the fleeing quarry. What was his
surprise to see the man with the bag

inert heap. When the scared bluecoat
came up the man was groaning piteOus-
ly:
Am I going TO die" he asked weak
".
Maher dropped to his knees and
tTemblingly began to examine A wound
en- the man s head, whereupon he made
a discovery which he did not disclose
TO the unhappy thief. He said briefly
that things looked bad" and he could
rot find the bullet.
An Ante-Mortem Statement.
After taking an ''ante-mortem'
statement from the thief. who said
he was Joseph Metcalf. and taking
possession of ten pigeons in his bag,
Maher forced him to lead him to the
pigeon coop Of Gilbert Balm, Twenty
four birds had been taken. the rest
being IN the hands of Metcalf's com

Many Indians Said to Be
Deprived of Rights.
ATTORNEY M'MURRAY HERE

Two Thousand Choctaws From
Tribal Roll.

the Choctaw Nation, the man who, for
cutting $500 names off the roll OF this
tribe, was paid $4,000 from the funds
held by the Federal Government to the
credit of the tribe, and about $4,000
more direct from the tribal treasury.
McMuray is holder of great area
of leased coal lands; in fact, next TO
the Choctaw. Oklahoma and Gulf Rail-
road, he is perhaps the largest lease
holder in the Territory.
Many Claims to Be Adjusted.
Some years ago an act of Congress

Of a large number OF ChOctaws. That
act was aftervard sustained By the
Supreme Court. Then tw0 years ago a
new act was passed. establishing a new
court to decide these issues. from whose

result may ne that the work for which

IS THE PENALNY FOR
FAILURE TOO SEVERE?

If crime is measured by the pen
atty which society doles out as
punishment, one of the greatest
crimes of all is not mentioned in
the statutes. 1t is the crime of
failure. There is no prison for the
people who fail, unless. demoraliz-
ed by non-success, they commit
some offense against the statute
law.
Consider this contrast: Jones, a
bank clerk, has embezzled a thou
sand dollars. He is tried, convict
ed and sent to prison. In prison
he has shelter from the elements,
sufficient food, and when his term
expires he will return to the world,
with a furnished name, to be sure,
but in excellent physical and men,
tai condition, to take up the battle
of life.
Here, on the other hand, is
Brown. His moral fiber Is stronger
than that of Jones. He has stolen
nothing and violated no law. He
is of the type, however, which peo-
pie describe as unfortunate. He
means we'll and annoarc to do bic
best, but his best falls under the
average. If he gets a position he
makes some mistake and loses it.
At another time, when he seems at
last to have found an appreclative
employer, he falls sick and becomes
unfit for his work. He is one of the
men woh is always just too late.
In other words, he is a failure.
He keeps On struggling. but he
falls lower and lower. He cannot
afford the respectable boarding
house where he has been living,
and so has to leave. He goes into
a furnished room and eats when
and where he can; but after an
other period of being out of work
he has to give up the room also.
Meanwhile. his clothes have been
getting shabby, his shoes are brok.
