DOG GIVES RAILROAD TROUBLE
Likes WooIIy West, Escapes From Car
and Long Avoids Capture-BuI-
letins About Him
Special to The Herald.


DENVER, April 2S.-One bow-legged
pup. with lengthy pedigree and an ad-
venturous spirit, has been the cause Of
more gray hairs to the baggage men,
telegraph operators and station mas
ters of the Union Pacific during the
last three weeks than have ever been
caused by their reflections upon past
sins. The animal in question is a $1,000
prize Boston terrier, owned by Lynn
Sutton of Seattle.
Some three weeks ago he was placed
in charge of Bob Schmalling, train
baggage master, and started on his way
to the coast. Being from Boston, His
Barklets was intensely interested in
everything which smacked of the wild
and woolly west, and when the train
stopped at Cheyenne he surveyed the
town through the door of the car with
every expression of animated pleasure.
How refreshingly picturesque" said
he to himself. There is nothing in
Schcpenhauer at all like it. Were it not
for these irksome bonds I really be-
lieve q tour of exploration would be
productive of both pleasure and profit"
Thus cogitating, he hastily chewed at
the rope which bound him until it sep
arated and gave him his liberty, where
upon he eluded the baggage man and
ullJ uepdTleu u Illdhc IilS
ance with the life of the frontier That
started the trouble and the wires have
been hot ever since.
Bulldog billed to Seattle got loose
at Cheyenne" wired SIGNALLING to
Denver.
Catch bulldog billed to Seattle" {"
wired the local agent to the station
master at Cheyenne.
Bulldog billed to Seattle declines to
be caught" was the reply.
"Where is my bulldog that was ship
ped from Denver four days ago?" wired
Mr.. Sutton from Seattle to his friend
George Ady, local passenger agent of
the Union Pacific.
Bulldog liked Cheyenne and got off
there. Will try to convince him Seattle
is a better town. Have patience" re-
piled Mr.. Ady.
At intervals the station master at
Cheyenne reported by wire, "Have
caught bulldog" only to follow it u
few hours later with Bulldog chewed
his rope and got away again." until
the local baggage agent began to lose
weight and talk in his sleep.
Finally, in On unwary moment, the
cause of all the trouble allowed him
self to be captured, fastened with q
heavy piece of telephone wire and ship
ped back to Denver. Here he arrived
yesterday and was rebilled through to
his master, dirty, thin and tired, but
still enthusiastic over the west.

HIS WIFE MAKES HIS

UPON THE BOX HE HAS TO
CLIMB
Magistrate Hseinbotham and Better
Half in WhirI of Exciting Adven-
ture on New York Streets While in
Full Glory of Evening Clothes
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK. April 2S.-Attired
in full evening dress, with
opera hat, long overcoat and a posy in
his buttonhole, Magistrate E. CASTOR
Higginbotham, seated on the box of a
coupe side by side with an apparently
''tiNed" driver (high hat and long coat
ditto), had the most exciting ride of
his life last night, with Mrs. Higgin-
batham inside the vehicle. While 1t
lasted williamsburg had a series of
sensations.
The magistrate had not chosen his
exalted station of his own volition.
Marital discipline had interviewed at a
moment when public interest was SO
embarassingly centered upon the
judge and Mrs. Higginbotham that
flight was their only refuge.
The misadventures of the pair began
when they left their home at 691
Bushwick avenue at 8 o'clock to attend
an evening entertainment in the home
of friends at Greene and Lewis ave-
nues. They drove i'll a coupe from
the Olympic stables at Quincy street
and Ralph avenue with Charles Meyer
as coachman. At Broadway and Will
loughby avenue a Broadway car
crashed into them. Meyer was thrown
from his seat, and clinging to the
reins, dragged half a block when the
horse was stopped. The Higginboth-
ans alighted and an excited crowd
sprang up as if out of the earth.
Meyer was hurt on shoulder and hip
but he insisted on driving to their
destination. Mrs. Higginbotham flat
ly declined to re-enter the coupe un-
less assured that the horse would go
along in a gentle manner" AS the
horse could be persuaded to make no
promises, the magistrate was obliged
, to mount the box to see that all went
we'll
At Willoughby and Stuyvesant ave-
nues, two blocks further on, the wind
carried off Meyers hat, and the driver,
in a frantic attempt to catch it, would
have fallen a second time had not the
Judge enfolded him in an impromptu
embrace. The reins in the struggle
were pulled this way and that, the
horse baked and Mrs, Higginbotham,
gathering her light gown in her arms,
sprang out in the mud.
She said she had had enough riding,
so the judge dutifully dismounted, and
with his wife upon his arm trudged
two long blocks to their friends home.
Ambulance Surgeon Thompson of
the Bushwick Central hospital band
aged the shoulder and hip of Meyer
and sent him to his home, $50 Quincy
street.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-All the way
from half-hose for children to profess
sionalism in football the New York
City Mothers club wandered yesterday
afternoon during a physical culture
discussion in the Waldorf-Astoria.
1t was the mothers themselves who
introduced the football. DR.. William
H. MacEastline, who is an assistant
physical director of Teachers college,
laid down lines of conduct, regarding
the babies stockings.
Don't dress your children in short
stockings in bad weather." said DR..
MacEastline. MANY mothers do this,
thinking to harden the child. Stock
often come only half way to the knee,
and the skirts and knickerbockers do
not reach the knee. Instead of harden
ing the child this exposure in bad
weather causes all sorts of physical
troubles. The energy and vitality OF
the child, every bit of which is needed
in the processes of growth, are simply
wasted by the exposure" ft
Then after branching off into the adj
vances made in athletics, DR.. MacEast-
line sat down and the members arose.
Perhaps they deserted under his well
fitting frock coat a footballrform. They
said not a word about babies stock
ings. They spoke only of college foot
ball.
you say athletic training has adj
vanced," said Mrs. l.. ID. Blake. "Are
the games any less barbarous than for
merly?"
DR.. MacEastline hung his head. He
confessed he had played football.
Mrs. Annie Diggs of Kansas said
football was undemocratic.
"Oh, but it's the professional coach
who has ruined football" pleaded DR..
MacEastline. 'It is only when ply
sicaI powers are used for pleasure and
the indulgence of the passions that they
are a menace to ethical development"
he added, cor when physical training is
the end of commercial competition, but
in a great city like New York, where
our children, although advanced in
school to higher grades for the same
age than ever before, but at the ex-
pense of losing every natural sport, we
cannot too strongly insist that u strong
mind needs a strong body"

EXAMINE TONGUE OF GIRL

Before Marrying, Advises
Cleveland Evangelist
speclal d. The Herald.

OQecldl 10 Lie f1STdlQ.
CLEVELAND, April 2S-Evangelist
Manley Wilson delivered an address on
Choosing a Wife or a Husband and
Them" at the Gospel church Sunday.
He said in part:
Its a grabbed old man who never
had wife. It's a grabbed old maid
who never had a husband.
''My advice to young men contem-
plating marriage is this:
"Before you wed, examine the girls
tongue. 1t it's tied in the middle and
runs at both ends, don't marry her.
''Also measure her tongue. 1t it's
longer than ten inches, don't marry
her, because she will spend her time
climbing trees to gossip with the
neighbors.
-'Then, again, look into the family
garbage can before you take the leap
If it's filed with half pies, biscuits
cake and bread, don't marry her, be-
cause she can't cook.
IA woman can put more out of the
back door with a spoon than a man
can bring in the front door with q
shovel. Choose wife in keeping with
your profession. In short, don't get
hitched unless you hitch.
''lf any of you girls have your eyes
upon prospective husbands L would
say:
Beware of those spider-legged
dudes who possibly have money but
certainly no occupation If your adj
lnirer is posted on all the races. make
him trot. DON'T think you can reform
drnker by marrying him. I'd at
least make him try the drink cure first.
Now. for the married folks:
when you marry, you marry a wife
or a husband, not a mother-in-Iaw."

TO GET REvERE's OLD HOME
Memorial Association Now in Fair
Way to Rescue Dwelling of ReVo-
lutionary Hero
Special to The Herald

BOSTON, Mass, April est now
looks as If the Paul Revere Memorial
association would be successful in its
efforts to secure possession of the old
homestead of Paul Revere on North
Square. The building at present is in
sorry state, having been occupied
as tenement, with two or three small
stores on the ground floor. 1t is the
purpose of the association to restore
the building throughout and give back
to it all it's former beauty.
TO gain possession and make the
necessary repairs a fund aggregating
something more than $4,000 will be re-
quired, and OF this sum about $4,000
has been contributed, which has war
ranted an extension of the option on
the purchase The option expired yes
terday. Since the last statement of
contributions was published, about
$1,000 has been added; but to the total
must be added at least $1,000 before
the association will be in a position
to fully carry out it's plan of restora-
tion.
More or less attention has been given
to a proposition to create a Paul Re-
we're museum when the building shall
have been put in a proper condition,
and this project has received wide sup
port. Many families in Boston and
the nearby towns that have memen-
tos of the intrepid messenger have sig
nifled a willingness to place them on
exhibition, thereby giving to the city
one more shrine of the revolution.

After Alleged Crime

Acting on the theory that Prof. Erich
Muenter, a Harvard university German
Instructor, charged with poisoning his
young wife, is now in hiding in this
city, detectives under the direction of
Acting Chief Flammer are searching
everywhere for the alleged murderer.
His mother and sister are supposed to
be residing near Los Angeles, and east
ern detectives believe that Muenter fled
from Chicago Immediately after the
funeral of his wife and came here for
shelter. The directories and telephone
books fail to give the address of. Mrs.
Muenter. 1t is supposed that she is
living in one of the nearby suburbs.
While q thorough search is being
made here fer the missing professor.
the shrewdest sleuths in Boston, New
York and Chicago are trying to find a
clew that will lead to Muenter's hiding
place.
Crime Is Revolving
The crime for which Muenter is want
ed is said to be peculiarly revolving.
1t is claimed that he administered
arsenic to his wife shortly after the
birth of their last child. Mrs. Muenter
died at. Cambridge on April 16 Her
body was taken to Chicago, her former
home, for burial.
An insurance policy for $1,000 is said to
have furnished the motive for the
crime. Muenter disappeared from Chi
cago at the time that the police of
that city were instructed to arrest him
on suspicion and it was thought that
he intended to come to this city.
More information about Muenter is
expected to arrive at police headquart-
ers today from the east.
