De Mile school of Pompton. which
Evelyn attended on solicitation of
Stanford White. The statement of
DR.. Colfax follows:

He SLIPPED AWAY.
Samuel Lieberman Couldn't Stand to
Plead Guilty.

Samuel Lieberman, the lower Kan
sas avenue Hebrew junk dealer, who
was arrested about a dozen times in
rapid succession at the instisation of
the secret agents of the Santa Fe rail-
road a few months ago charged with
receiving stolen property, promised to
plead guilty to a lesser charge than
the one on which he was arrested this
morning. Prior to the tim eof Lieber-
mans arrest the Santa Fe road had
been losing large quantities of junk
and considerable brass and other eX-
pensive metals and parts of their
equipment.
The thefts became so annoying that
the attention of H. H. Germain. chief
special agent for the company, was
called to them He Immediately took
personal supervision of the matter and
in a short time was instrumental in
landing eighteen of the thieves in the
county jail. where a number of them
are now serving their sentences or
Lieberman was implicated by con-
LESSONS made by Doc Manson and
several of the other men arrested and
it was proven to the satisfaction of
the railroad officials that they had To-
Gated the fence who was handling
the stolen property. Lieberman's plea
of guilty this morning confirms their
suspicions Each of the charges
AGAINST him was of such a nature that
had he been convicted on them he
would have been sent to the peniten-
tiary There was some doubt about
proving them and ii was thought adj

Ifebernan thought otherwise for !

their white flowers on long, slender
stems; and beyond, are tall Altheas,

These shrubs come into bloom early

are SO lovely in their superlative white
ness that | am fain to write of them
again. This morning, early, when |
went out onto the front porch, l stood
amazed, enraptured with the freshness,
the fairness, the sweetness, the ex
quisite beauty Of my white flowers,
a pearly rlistiness prevailing III the
air enhanced their 1oveliness.
A great bed Of white Day Lilies
(Funl1ia subcOrdata alba) runs along
the north side of the house, and bed
III them runS along the front Of the
porch; hundreds Of these white flowers
uplifted on tall stems above the broad
pale green overlapping leaves, which
seem, with the dew falling from them,
like living fountains. The flowers
empearled with dew in their exquisite
sOftness and fairness, seem evolved
from snow, and every uplifted chalice
from it's pure, white heart, breathes
fragrance on the air, and with the
fragrance breathes the prayer, "We
praise Thee, oh, God."

On the porch there is a large, white

Climbing up one corner of the porch
and trained along the end and front
just beneath the edge of the roof, a
Clematls panlculator grows, and sends
downward long, dropping branches Of
lovely delicate white flowers, hundreds
upon hundreds Of them cleaning like
white stars and exha1ing a delightful
fragrance on the air. All, the mingled
fragrance Of these flowers, how de-
lightful!
But these are not all; out there in
the grass, a little distance from the
end of the porch, white Rose is
growing and blooming This is the
White Microphylla Rose, with it's
small, elegant, shining green leaves,
and beautiful, fragrant, white flowers.
Branches Of it are trailing over the

er element were shy and distant
They appeared to be on the defensive.
From the very feel Of things l knew
that mischief was brewing. But was
not to be squelched without a good
try. scratched the soil around the
patch each night and found that the
melons were being tried 1t was
simply a question Of waiting till they
were ripe enough. Footprints told
me that half dozen we're concerned
in the nightly Investigations.
About this time | was getting my
''lightning" machines into shape. A
week before the melons were ripe
enough to pick, I wove the wire
amongst the vines, bringing them in
most cases under the ends Of the big
gest melons. had a veritable net
work of electric wires, with some
powerful batteries at the other end
l knew that whatever night they came
they would make a clean job Of it, so
l decided to do the same. There
wasn't electric voltage enough to do
any real damage, but it was gagged
sufficient to make lifting melons ex-
ceeding1y hot work should the thieves
come in contact with the wires. It
would also send an alarm to my
sleeping room.
Each night after dark | switched
on the current and went peacefully to
bed. Saturday night is conceded to be
a good watermelon night. For some
unaccountable reason this particular
night is selected generally for raid
of this kind. [ went to bed with a
feeling that should be disturbed be-
fore morning. The night was dark,
and the melons were quite eatable. I
was dreaming of being somewhere
in the center Of large room full OF
electric machines, giving orders to the
men, and running here and there
with my hands full of blueprints, when
a terrific buzzing at my headboard
woke me up. My wife grasped my
arm in her fright.
"The melons!' I whispered, and
tumbling into my clothes | hurried in
the direction of the field. At certain
tree I had a switch for the purpose OF
throwing on circle Of lights that |
had placed around the patch. AS [
stumbled along the night air was
filled with mufaed exclamations OF
pain and curses. [ could hear the
stamping Of feet and the screaming
of men mixed up in the network Of
wires. Reaching the tree [ switched
on the light current and a strange
sight met my view. Boys, men
grown, were dancing and swearing IN
their terror, and trying to fight off
the hot, clinging wires. l saw their
faces plainly and made a mental note
of each robber.
"Boys! | cried, "you seem to be
having a lively time!'
At the sound of my voice their ter
rOr increased, and wild scramble for
the darkness began In an instant al
most the melon patch was clear, and
the sound of clanking footsteps died
away.
The next day l summoned each par
ticipant to my barn. There was an air
of law about the proceeding, and
everyone of the boys appeared, IN
most cases bringing their fathers with
them. They were shame-faced lot.
If looks could have killed me I should
have been very dead man.
Boys" said l, opening the ell
room of my barn, ''step in here and
we'll see what can be DONE"
They filed in, hanging their heads
as they came. A long table through
the center of the room was filled with
cut melons, There were silver knives
and forks and by each plate stood a
