LOVERS THROW DICE FOR WIFE.
Girl Stands BY and Encourages Gamblers
in Game for Her Hand.

OMAHA, Neb., March Jules Altheus
and Jack Mitchell, well known young BUSH
ness mon, tonight decided by the turn Of
the dice which should relinquish his claim
upon the heart of Miss Lulu Baker, a pretty
girl, for whose favor they were rivals.
While the game was being played Miss
Baker stood by and encouraged the gam
blers.
For several years the two men have paid
attention to the girl and they to-day de-
cided to shake dice, the loser to cease pay
ing attention to Miss Baker. The girl was
consulted and acquiesced in the arrange
ments.
Tonight the three met and~the game
started. After each had won a game,
Mitchell threw four skies in playing off
the tie. Miss Baker then begged Altheus
to let her play for him, telling him he might
lose.
But Altheus refused and threw his hand
himself. He got a pair Of deuces. After
shaking hands with Mitchell and Miss
Baker, he left, saying he would never call
on the girl again.

CRAzED BY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Mrs. Kate Jarvis Becomes Insane Through
Religious Excitement.

1t was learned last night that Mrs. Kate
Jarvis, a member of an old Staten Island
family and wife OF William Jarvis, pro-
prietor of a large hotel at, Palm Beach,
Florida, Is insane at the home Of her brother,
William Decker at Bloomfield, s.. l., and that
her condition is such that she has to be re-
strained. Her illness is attributed to re-
ligious excitement resulting from her
attendance at meetings held by a member
of the Christian Science Church at Palm
Beach. She was brought home from
Palm Beach a few days ago.
Mr.. Decker says he was informed by his
brother-in-law that about six weeks ago
a woman who announced herself as a Chris
tan Science teacher arrived at Palm Beach
and began to hold a series of services.
Mrs. Jarvis attended one of the meetings
and thereafter showed intense interest
in the teachings OF the Christian Science
Church. She was a constant attendant
at the meetings and she finally began to
manifest signs of mental arrangement.
True to the new doctrine she refused medi-
cal attendance, and it finally became neces-
sary to place her under restraint. She is
50 years odd.

BOILER SQUAD SOFT SNAPS.
Dine Cop Detailed to Drive Another Around
in n Wagon All Day.

Police Commissioner Bingham took -four
men from the boiler squad yesterday and
sent them to precincts where they will do
patrol work. The men nave had easy
berths in the boiler squad. When the Com-
missioner sent for a list Of the men and their
duties he found one patrolman down as
driver for another patrolman.
The COMMISSIONS had heard OF queer
details, but he couldn't understand just
what the word driver" meant in this In
stance. An investigation showed that the
duty of the driver was to drive a large
wagon containing another patrolman, who
went around delivering boiler licenses.
This detail was abolished on the spot,
and so was that Of the man delivering the
licenses. Hereafter people needing boiler
licenses will have to go to the Police De-
partment and get them, just as people go
to other departments for licenses. Com
missioner Bingham found that for years a
patrolman driver and several cops have
been delivering licenses for which the fee
is 81.
Commissioner Bingham said yesterday
that he was in hopes that the boiler In
spection squad would be detached from
the Police Department, as he didn't believe
it belonged there. Some of the inspectors
are civilians.

wILKEsBARRE, Pa, March IA Lehigh
Valley express struck a wagon OF the Du
Pont Company loaded with powder at
Warrior Run his afternoon.
The powder burned instead Of exploding,

than burning Engineer H. w. Seals and
Fireman Harry Reichard about the hands,
scorching the engine and express car and
destroying the wagon.
The front wheels Of the powder wagon
stuck in the mud, leaving the rear wheels
on the track. Knowing the train was due
the driver unhitched his horses and hurried
up the track to flag 1t. He was not in time,
but Engineer Seals, seeing the wagon, stuck
to his post and managed TO slow the train
down as 1t struck. The collision hurled
tin cans OF powder about, bursting several,

Man Who Passed Two Civil Service Ex.
amlnatiOns Held.

Edward H. Pearce OF 573 East l7sth street,
who had a place in the Water Supply De-
partment in Brooklyn, was held for trial
in $500 bail in the Tombs police court yester-
day on the charge of passing a civil service
examination in another mans name. Pearce
got his own position after taking the ex-
animation in January, 1903. In August,
1904, it is alleged, he again took the ex-
animation under the name Of Lee Curtis.
Curtis was appointed, but when he wrote
out his formal declaration upon taking
Office he wrote such a poor hand that the
suspicion of F.. A. Spencer, secretary Of
the civil service board, was aroused. He
compared the writing with that in the
examination papers and saw a fraud had
been committed. Curtis explained the
situation by saying that since he took the
examination he had forgotten how to write
and was learning over again.
He was allo wed to go on parole and dis
appeared. Then Pearce was arrested.

SPOONER'S MEN CONFIRMED.
He Scores W winnings Against His Col.
league, Senator La Toilette.


WASHINGTON, March L.-Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin chalked up two winnings
against his colleague, Senator La Toilette,
to-day when the Senate confirmed the
nomination Of DIR. Amos P. Wilder to be
United States Consul at Hongkong and of
David o. Owen to be postmaster at Mil
waukee. Messrs. Wilder and owen belong
TO the stalwart wing of the Republican
party in Wisconsin, of which Mr.. Spooner
is the head and front, and were par
ticularly obnoxious to Mr.. La Toilette, the
chief of the so-called halfbreeds. Mr..
La Toilette made a bitter fight against Mr..
Wilder in committee, declaring that Wilder
was politically and personally obnoxious
to him. Mr.. Owens offence was his close
association with the late Henry C. Payne,
who in his lifetime fought La Toilette at
every turn.

Tom Lawson Gives In 10 Untermyer.
Joseph 81. Ohoate has accented a etainer
as counsel for the Mutual Lies s~elf-investi-
eating committee. That was announced
yesterday after Mr.. Choats had been in
conference for some time with the two
remaining members Of the committee.
William H. Truesdale and John w. Auchin-
Gloss.
1t is understood that Mr.. Choate insisted
on assurances that the investigation would
be thorough in every line of the c%ompany's
affairs and that he would be absolutely
untrammelled in his work as counsel. There
was some doubt in Mr.. Choate's mind as to
the propriety of his accepting a retainer
from the committee and acting as counsel
for the company in the McCurdy and Ray
mond Il Co. suits at the same time. Tn
member Of the committee assured him that
his relations with the company would not
interfere in the least with his work for the
committee.
The acceptance of Mr.. Choate will, In
the opinion Of some Mutual Life men, res
store public confidence in the investigating
committee. 1t is likely that a third member
to take the place left vacant by the resigna.
ton Of Mr.. Fish, will be named in a few days.
The announcement of Mr.. Choate's accep-
lance will, it is expected. have a particularly
favorable effect on foreign p~olicyholders
and serve as a counter influence against
the efforts that are being made in England
and other countries to rally p~olicyholders
in support Of Mr.. Fish.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the newly
organized international policyholders' COM
mittee, was in Boston yesterday. 1t is
understood that he had a talk with Thomas
w. Lawson, and that Lawson agreed TO
sever himself entirely from the movement
which he has been organizing against the
Mutual Life and turn his proxies over to
the new committee. The personnel Of the
Fish committee will be %nnounced in q few
days.
Several Of the insurance officers who will
