Paris Police Are Looking for Man Who Took Ex-President's Apparel France Has Changed Front on Labor Question and workmen win Parade on Labor Day.

{Copyright, 1907, by The International
 Press Syndicate)
 Paris, March 9.-M. Emile Loubet former President of France. Is deplor- Ing the loss of costly fur-lined over coat. present from the Czar. M. I.oubet was the principal speaker al the recent gathering of Paris unlver- sity students held to celebrate the granting of two hundred thousand francs by the Chamber for the new ''Maison des Etudi2nts."
 At first when NJ. Loubet went into the cloak room and his overcoat could not be found by the attendants, 1t was concluded that perhaps someone had hidden 1t as a practical joke. but when the whole building has been seached 1t was concluded that perhaps one oi the numerous politicians who had at- tended the meeting had taken the coat by mistake.
 If a politician did take it. and poli- tiicans in France are no better than their American brethren in the matter af taking watever comes their way he, has not returned the coat and now 1t Is rather dangerous toSwear a fur lined coat in the street as every police- man is on the qui vive for the ex- Presidents outer shell.

 Next to Mir. Davis, MT Toombs and Mir Rhett were perhaps more fre- ouently mentioned in connection with the presidency than any others. MT. Toombs was the choice of the Georgia delegation At meeting of that body on the morning of February Q, he was placed in nomination by MT. stephens. and the meeting was united on him But when he learned that some of thH states had decided to vote Tor MS Davis he forbade the presentation of his name before the Congress, and re- ouested the Georgia delegation to unite with all the others on MT. Davis. with out any contest on the subject. It was the desire of all to avoid anything Of that sort.
 MT. Stephens was then asked if he would allow his name to be presented for the vice presidency. He said he would, upon two conditions; namely. in the event that MT Davis. and not Mir. Toombs, was named for the presi- dency. and if his own name for the presidency should be unanimously acceptable to the Congress, collective ly and individually.
 "A few hours thereafter, under the conditions and circumstances above set forth, Jefferson Davis and Alexander IT. Stephens were elected to the offices, respectively of President and Vice- President of the new Confederacy. the birth of which was in it's far-reaehinS consequences. one of the most moment ous events in the worlds history Thousands of pages have been written about St. and thousands more. doubt less, will be written about it, for 1t will engage the pen of the historian and absorb the attention of students of his tory as long as the English race sur wives and the English language en- dures.

HALF MILLION PEOPLE
 ARE TO LEAVE MANHATTAN

eral of the higher-class pensioners. who retired with the reputation of possession large fortunes, are still drawing largo sums from the fund.
 In the long list of pensioners, which includes a great number of widows, score or more of children, and 305 rec tired members of the force. there are few names which were once power in the citys affairs, not only as to po- lice matters but in other directions as well. There is. for example. for mer Inspector and ex-Chfef Thomas Byrnes. who retired from the force when Theodore Roosevelt was com missioner. and who is credited with a large fortune accumulated in Wall Street under the tuteiage of Jay Gould and other magnates of the street in bygone days, burt still draws pension of ss,000 a year. 'E I
 Another old-timer, long since forgot ten by the public. is William Murray. who is said to be far beyond the reach of the gaunt and hungry wolf. John McCullagh, who Is now in business in the city, is the third member of the trio who are drawing the highest pen- sions, on the list. Former Chief of Po- lice Devery, after retiring, openly in- vested $395,o00 in real estate. and among the present inspectors of the force McCluskey. Cross, Flood and Ti- tus live in a style far beyond the sal ary of a police inspector.
 So no one wonders at the opposition to the bill, now before the State Leg islature, which is designed to give the Commissioner such control over the force as to seriously menace, if not entirely destroy the opportunity for accumulating vast private fortunes while serving as guardians of the city's peace and wealth.

Hold cotton for Goon Prlcr..

Cotton is soaring skyward and the increase in the price Is bringing hum dreds of bales to the several dealers in Gadsden This cotton is of good quality and commands a price of bet ter than II cents.
 One day this week C. NJ Baugh bought $50 bales on Sand Mountain and yesterday Sampey & Co, had on hand over 1000 bales, received in two or three days. All other dealers here are receiving amounts fin proportion, and for this season of the year 1t Is remarka ble.
 The farmers in this section have learned the valuable lesson of holding their cotton from the market while the price Is low, and are consequently profting now from the rise in the mar ket.

. The Career of KiIxi.

A little crude of method, perhaps as might be expected of a novice, but displaying promising signs of develop ing into a railroad magnate or the president of a life insurance company at the very least. the carer of Kikf Pe- ters has been cruelty nipped in the bud Kiki is 13 years old. which un- fortunate number may account for his bad luck.
 Until last Wednesday, when Justice Wyatt of the Children's Court sent enced him to two years in the New York Juvenile Asylums exclusive re- sort for young men of tender years, Kiki was leader of the famous Whyo gang of youthful highwaymen who haunt the East Sixty-fourth Street fastnesses. Like a true disciple of Dick Turpin, he always led his trusty band to prey upon the wealthy. Once and again he led them In daring and successful raids upon the gilded scions of the rich who go to school in the aristocratic neighborhood of West EasT Avenue, whence they returned bearing much spoil in the way of skates, hockey sticks and red sleds, and leaving the enemy dissolved in such tears as flood Wall Street the morning after MT. Hartman has acquired con- trol of few railroads. But the third time stsrn-visaged Fate. in the guise of a fat cop, lay Tn wat LOT the uar- ing band. and a treacherous bit of ice precipitated the plunder-laden Kiki in- to the arms of his pursuer.
 Kiki steadfastly refused to tell the names of the lads who were with him. and announced that even If he got a life sentence he wouldn't squeal.
 When he heard his sentence he re- marked: Well, dis is easy. sure links I glts de ref, but I ain't got no kick comin'." Judging by the records of other East Side desperadoes who have been sent to the Juvenile Asylum, the chances are good that Kiki will be turned to a more useful If less spectacular career than that of high wayman,

The Antl-saielde nureau.


 The Anti-Suicide Bureau of the Sal- vation Army which has just been open ed in New York Is expected to throw considerable light on the darker side of Hamlet's grim philosophy
 From statistics collected by the Army it seems that suicides in New York number 22.7 per 100000. Tn cit- ies like Hoboken and St. Louis the pro- portion is 29.2. and the average of fifty cities throughout the country Is 17s. while San rancisco has the high aver age of 49.e. The opening day of the bureau was marked by the appearance of four men and one woman, all con- spicuously we'll dressed. The first was tall old Hebrew who stated that he had lost the savings of a life time, some $40,000, in Wall Street, and could see nothing ahead more attractive than death Next came a woman of 40 with a French accent, who stated that she had been swlndled in a business part nership and left alone in New York without friends or money. Then came waiter and bartender who had three times attempted suicide by various | means, and, driven to desperation by losses in race-track gambling, had tried to shoot a friend. Another man con- fessed to being a criminal who had been indicted forty times for larceny and was harrassed by the fear of a life sentence. The last was a youth of 20. victim of drugs, who stated that he had run through $sO000 within a month. had forged his fathers name to checks, and was ready to die unless the Army could think of something better. According to Captain French, who is in charge of the work here, a similar | bureau in London, which was opened early in January, received 300 intend ing suicides during the first eleven days, including all classe sand condi- tions of society, from gentlemen in silk hats to Billingsgate crossing sweepers. Out of 6U0 applications. 300 had gone broke, about 50 were lonely 1 150 couldn't get job, and the balance wanted to commit suicide because of ill., ness.

shonts Makes Discovery.

Theodore P, Shonts, to whom the task of solving New York's transports- tion problem has been delegated in his capacity. as President of the Interbor- ough- Metropolitan railway system, has made the interesting discovery that passengers are being wedged into the ears so cornpaetly that it is impossible for them to get their hands down into their pockets. and that hence the com pany Is losing more in fares than 1t would cost to furnish and maintain adequate facilities.
 This is believed to be an argument which will appeal to MT. Ryan and Mir. Belmont with some force just as soon as Mir. Shonts can prepare the neces- sary diagrams and drawings and few reports toi substantiate the statement.
 In the meantime figures obtained by a subcommittee of the Republican County Committee, which has been in vestigating She matter, show that in the first nine months of 1908. the com pany took in 11,700,o00 cash fares. more than for the same period of 1905. They also show that while traffic was increasing at this rate of 1,30O,0 900 pas sengers month, the number of cars in service was reduced until in De- cember. but 1,775 cars were run as against 2,250 five years ago. when 309.- 304,273 fewer passengers were carried than last year. In ten years the traffic of the elevated and surface lines In the borough of Manhattan, has increased from 490,152.79o cash fares in 1897 to 1,007, ,161, ,o33 in 1906, and last year showed an increase of approximately fl per cent over 1905.

their disapproval of having to work more than eight hours a day.
 Great preparations were taken to protect the city from violence, troops were called in the police force was in- creased, and many policemen were im- ported from the provinces, banks and public buildings were specially guard ed against bombs and internal ma chimes and thousands of people left the city In fear of possible reyolu- tion.
 As will be remembered, everything passed very quietly, indeed, contrary to what had been expected, the streets presented the apearance of an Amer lean city on a Sunday, everyone being too frightened to put their heads out of Their doors or windows, unless they were obliged to.
 This year everything has changed M. Kane Viviani, the Minister of La Dor, has proposed at a recent cabinet meeting that May 1. this year, be de- cred national holiday and that work .ng men shall be allowed to parade the rtreets as much as they want.
 By this suggestion, M. Viviani has proved for remembering the proverb oi the forbidden fruit, workingmen now declare that they really do not care to parade at all. They like the idea of making Labor Day a national holiday and if 1t is done, they will go off te the country with their families, not to demonstrate, but to make the most of n spring day in amusing themselves.

 New York, March 9.-tspecial )-- Enough people will move out of Man haitian this year to make a dozen new cities Sites for more than a score of such towns have been mapped out along the rapid-transit subway lines which will be in operation next summer. and it is estimated that 800, 900 people will grasp the first available opportunity to desert Manhattan flats for more comfortable and cheaper homes in out lsfne districts. What is known as the 'metropolitan area" now extends we'll up into Connecticut, embraces all the accessible portions of Westchester county the northern half of the State of New Jersey and the entire wes- tern end of Long Island Last year, suburban real estate operators and builders invested s6oo.00o.000 in this territory and erected 25.00O dwellings and S,700 wlat houses with accomo- dations for approximately 10000 peo- pie. So far plans have been filed for additional structures to be completed this year at a cost of $650.000.000. Yet this huge outlay is only part of the billions which are being spent to pre- pare outlying districts for the spread ing metropolis, a work which will cover years of the most intense build ing activity. Three hundred and thir- ty-eight thousand people it Is esti- mated, will be provided with homes by the building operations of the ensuing year at substantial reduction in rents fhich now, for the poorer classes. fre- uuently average as high as 35 to 40 per cent of their incomes, because of the necessity for crowding within commut- ing distance of their employment
