WOMAN
IS ACCUSED OF
BEING A THIEF
Arrested at Request
of Men
Three Say She Robbed Them of
Various Sums-May Refuse
to Prosecute Case
Against Her

Patrolman Dorsey while walking along
Main street between Fourth and Fifth
streets last night was approached by a
man who gave his name as j. c. Lon
ders and his address as San Francisco,
and two other men, who pointed out to
him an extraordinarily pretty woman,
who was fashionably dressed, whom they
asserted was a thief and had robbed each
of them of large sums of money.
Londers stated that the woman had
robbed him of 1920 in San Francisco a
few weeks ago, and the other two men,
who did not give their names, stated that
they had been robbed by her in Venice,
one on the Fourth of July of $40 and the
other yesterday of So.
The woman was arrested and taken to
central police station and booked on a
charge of suspicion. She protested against
her arrest, but the police without any
further investigation made her a pris-
oner.
Venice Reports Robberies
Tney had had a report from Venice that
such robberies had occurred there and
the woman arrested answered closely the
description of the woman said to nave
committed the robberies. The woman
gave her name as Mrs. M. P. Parr. She
said she was from the east and had come
here for her health
While the police placed her in jail
Lieutenant William Murray stated last
night that the men who had caused her
arrest would not prosecute her and that
she would have to be turned loose this
morning unless some other charge could
be placed against her. There was a con-
siderable effort made by the police las,
night to smother all information of the
case, and at first they refused to MAKE
any statement about the case at all
Mrs. Parr will probably be discharged
from custody this morning.

BRUSSELS, July 12.-Major Lemair,
who served eighteen years in the Congo
and who resigned when notified he would
be prosecuted for cruelty toward native
soldiers, retalated today by publishing
sensational exposure of the republican

clared the soldiers are merely brigands,
who raid the populace, assault the women
and burn the villages.
The major adds that when he attempted
to protect the natives by inflicting severe
punishment upon the troops his disciplin-
airy measures were overruled by his SUI
periors. He insists tnat the real OBJECT
of the Congo administration in preferring
the charges was to get rid of him.

Haywood's Cross-Examination
| The cross examination of Haywood COM
menced this afternoon within an hour
after the opening of court. By this time
every seat was taken. The announcement
that Senator Borah would cross-examine
brought out an unusually large attend
ance. 1t was quite evident that the spec
tat tors were not alone in their expectation
of something interesting. When Clarence
Darrow, Haywood's cousel, closed the
direct examination of his client and quietly
remarked, You may cross examine the
prisoner-wtness turned in his chair and
faced Mr.. Borah, his face pale and jaws
firmly set. There was stir in the court
room and then an absolute silence. The
first questions and answers came in such
Subdued tones that Mr.. Richardson of
Haywood's counsel asked the witness to
speak. Borah's cross examination, always
rapid fire, was more than usually quick
today, but from first to last Haywood
preserved complete self possession and
control. At times his replies came as
quickly as the questions were flung at
him. Again he would hesitate and speak
slowly with a marked emphasis. His
voice, low and musical, was seldom raised
except once or twice when fat denial
was given. Borah's manner was courte-
Gus throughout, but now and then a tinge
of sarcasm or of sternness appeared as he
insisted on direct answer and Haywood
appeared reluctant. Invariably he ad-
dressed Borah as senator" and repeat.

thought there might be some misunder-
standing.

ROOSEVELT HAS
DARING PROPOSAL
Semi-officIaI Suggestion Made That
Government Purchase Stock in
Railroads to Control
Receivers
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
An entirely new and radical proposition
for control of the railways has been ad-
vanced to the consideration of president
Roosevelt. 1t involves partial government
ownership of transportation lines by
actual purchase of stock.
The suggestion has been made in SEMI
official way, but whether Presto ent Roose-
welt would adopt the scheme, which Is SO
nearly Socialistic in it's developments, may
we'll be doubted. 1t has been stated, now
ever, that he is actually considering such
recommendation and that it is part OF
the proposition to bring the railroads to
time by securing receivers for them.
The two schemes fit each other per-
fectly 1t would be practically impossible
to secure the appointment of receivers or
to control in any way receivers after they
were appointed unless it has a monetary
interest in the railroads.

Have Court Standing

If it owned stock, no matter how small
an amount it would have a standing in
court, the same as the largest creditor of
the road.
The idea of purchasing stock is prac"
tical one, but it is undeniably government
ownership in the long run. The theory of
those who have advanced this scheme for
the consideration of President Roosevelt
is that by a comparatively small invest
ment in the stock there might be small
measure of government ownership, but
without any government control as far as
the running of the road is concerned.
1t is not believed here that President
Roosevelt will give the new scheme favor
able consideration. He has declared him
self against government ownership, by
which he meant ownership outright Of
railroads. He suggested that this was
Socialistic in it's tendency.

merit system in civil service can never
be accomplished, l believe. until we

Without single exception these cor

that they embrace such considerations

more certain a continuance of efficient

as much Importance is the fact that
pension system enables employers to
dispense with the elderly and ineff1-

agement to good effort on the part of
younger men hoping for promotion. 1t
operates especially as an incentive to-
hold men between the ages Of 40 and
so when they have acquired the ex-
erience and skill which makes them
especially valuable and prevents their
being tempted away by slightly in
creased wages for temporary period.

A Paper Magnet.

A simple and ndinteresting electrical ex-
pertinent may be made with a sheet of
ordinary brown paper, illustrating in
remarkable manner how the most as
tonishing effects may be produced by
the simplest means. Take a sheet Of
coarse brown paper, and after holding
1t before the fire until 1t is perfectly
dry, fold it up into long strip about
two inches in width. That makes your
magnet. To show its attractive power,
cut some strips of writing paper about
three inches in length, and one-eighth
of an inch wide, and put them on the
table, three or four together. Now take
your paper magnet, and draw 1t brisk
ly under your arm three or four times |;
this will instantly develop its electro
magnetism, and If you hold it over the
little strips of paper, they will fly up
to meet 1t. In other words. the cleo
tricity that you waken In the strip Of
brown paper will attract the smaller
strips Of paper Just as regular mag
net attracts a needle.
