COLLEGE OF CROOKS
IS RAIDED IN SICILY
Police Discover Fagin School Where
Gentle Art of Burglary Is
Taught.

ROME, May 24.-In Palmero. Sicily.
there has just been raided an Institute
where the young idea was instructed in
the science Of burglary and hOusebreak-
ing. together with the art of dissemb-
ling those questionable accomplishments
under genteel exterior. In other words,
"a college Of swell crooks"
When the police descended upon the
institute they found the criminal alumni
engaged in various amusements. Some
were playing cards. others enjoying ten
mis- in the pleasant gardens. and others
pracucing with stilettos under the eye
of a fencing master.
The curriculum of the college was
most methodical. all the students being
instructed to work on the same lines so
that the police were led TO suspect only
one man. Their various talents were
noted, and a record was kept OF all
their operations.
AS a kind of finishing course the
students were coached in the manners
Of good society. so that they should not
find themselves at a disadvantage in
any situation their profession might
place them.

BURTON DECLINES
TO GIVE Up SEAT
Senate Will Have to Put
Him Out If He Goes.
COURT MANDATE NOT ISSUED
Takes Position That His Status Is Not
Changed by Supreme Court
Decision.
COURT MANDATE NOT ISSUED

Senator Burton. of Kansas, announces
that he viii not resign from the Senate.
It had been hoped by some Of the lead
erS of that body that Mr.. Burton would
relieve them from the embarrassment OF
taking action in his case by voluntarily
giving up his seat. These hopes have
been shattered.
In a conference yesterday with Sena-
tor Burrows, chairman OF the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections.
Senator Burton stated that In his opin-
ion his status had not been changed by
the Supreme Courts decision. No man
date had yet been issued to put the SEN
tence of the lower court into effect
The Supreme Court having sr,-T-t@l leave
to file a petition for a rehearing, his case
is still pending
Senator Burton contends that mas
much as the Senate did not see fit 70
take action when he was convicted in
the lower court, 1t can not well take
action now until the Supreme Court shall
have finally disposed of the case
One Way Out of Dilemma.
1t is almost certain that the Supreme
Court, on reconvening in october, will
deny Senator Burton's petition and will
issue a mandate TO the St. Louis court
TO execute the sentence, the Senate viii
then be in the humiliating position Of
having one of its members in Jail. unless
some way out of the situation shall
be discovered 1t has been suggested
that the Senate may possibly adopt a
resolution at the present session de-
Claring that when the sentence OF the
court shall be put into effect on that
day Senator Burton shall cease to be 4
member of the Senate.
Whether or not such resolution would
stand the test Of conStitutionality Is
uncertain. The committee expects 20
give most serious consideration 20 the
whole subject before advising any par
tcular course Of procedure.
Bailey May Renew Efforts.
Early during the present session Of
Congress Senator Bailey tried to get an
expression of opinion from the Senate
on this particular question. His efforts
proved futile as no member cared to
place himself on record on the case be-
fore the Supreme Court had decided it.
Now that such a decision has been
rendered Mr.. Bailey may renew his ef-
forts TO get some action in the premises.
The Texan is expected back from Ken
tucky tomorrow and If the Committee
on Privileges and Elections have a
meeting some program of procedure may
be formulated to dispose of Mr.. Burton
during the present session. The Hale
resolution may be used as a wedge into
the affair.
The committee viii depend to a great
extent upon the opinions of Senators
Knox, Foraker, Bailey, Overman and
Dillingham; in the matter of the course
il will follow.

cheapest material. I think. viii be ce-
ment- While the price Of lumber has
advanced, cement has become cheaper.
The saving In the life of a building
and in repairs would make up more than
tine increased cost IN the end. A few
years ago cement was higher because
We got most OF it from Germany. Now
We not only supply enough for our own
consumption. but export one-fourth OF
the cement that country uses"
The situation, the Building Inspector
thinks, will make some marked changes
In the construction of future school
buildings and will go a long way toward
solving the problem of giving absolute
safety TO life through dreproof cOnstruc-
ton.

cost of two proposed school buildings

Rigid Care Necessary.

Mr.. Ashford. "can the building depart

then only at the sacrifice Of some i'm

entirely due 10 the advance of lumber,
which I don't think Will ever drop TO
the market price of year or two ago.
Considering this. $4,000 IS now not suf-
fiCient to purchase a site and construct
a high class school building of eight
rooms The outcome Will be that larger
appropriations, say from 5000 to Slo,o0o,
will be imperative. and the question

State was emphasized in the Gloucester
County Court on Wednesday when Off
GERS of the German Singing Society, Of
North Woodbury., were sentenced by
Judge Jessup to pay a nominal fine of $40
each for selling drinks in their clubhouse
The officers said they had permitted on
ly members of the organization to pur-
chase drinks in the house, and that all
the profits from such sales were for the
benefit of the club. Prosecutor Starr
said that did not let them out, as their is
no law in the State to permit sales with
out license, under any circumstances.
Under the circumstances, however, the
Judge was inclined to make the fine as
low as he could.
The Grand Jury, which went out Tues
day, returned Is true bills, II of the
smallest presentments made in years, and
all for petty offenses. When Prosecutor
Starr called the defendants to bar he was
