DRoWSY MANS ILL-LUCK.
Policeman Declines to Permit Him to
Sleep in the Park.

To go to sleep three times on the public
streets or parks is disorderly conduct ac-
cordng to decision made in the Police
Court today by Judge Bundy. The decision
came in the case Of Richard Moran, a we'll
dressed man, who was a defendant before
Judge Bundy this morning.
1t was in evidence that Policeman Adams
of the first precinct found Moran In the
park at 7th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest. The officer aroused him
and advised him to go home. Moran start
ed away, walking around the block, but
was soon afterward back on the soft grass
and disturbing the atmosphere by his snor-
ing. Policeman Adams again disturbed his
slumbers and started Moran on his way.
Somnolence, however, had powerful grip
on Moran, and after going up 7th street to
d street he picked out the Lincoln National
Bank building as a safe place and used a
soft step leading to the front door as a
mattress.
When Policeman Adams found Moran
there he decided to provide a place where
the drowsy man could enjoy undisturbed
repose He sent him to the station house.
Judge Bundy required Moran to pay s.
fine for the alleged disorderly conduct.

A rainy week at the resorts along this
section of the coast has somewhat dam
pened the spirits of cottagers, and hotel pa
irons, young and old alike, whose chief
end In lingering on into the fall months
has been to enjoy the crisp. autumnal days,
with the outdoor sports. which such
weather makes doubly enjoyable. Cool nights
encourage driftwood fires, and, weather per
hitting there is scarcely an evening now
when the beach is not dotted with several
blazing piles, each cncircled with merry
coterie engaged in roasting corn, and spin
ming yarns.
Among the young people who most
often found among such informal gather

Summer cottagers are still lingering at
this attractive little resort. Discouraged
by the rainy weather the beginning Of the
week, a large number of hotel patrons
sought their homes in the various cities
and larger towns. but those who fingered,
and they were a goodly number. were more
than repaid by the clear. bracing weather
which the weeks end has brought. Just now
grabbing parties on the Shark FLYER have
reached the height Of their popularity. Epi-
cures detect finer favor in this saltwater
dainty during the early fall months than
at any other period Of the season. Besides.
days grabbing Is good sport. Some Of the
young people who have been making heavy
catches during the week are Miss Lucille

SIX YEARS FOR HEiNZE.
Made a Few American Half Dollars on
His Own Account.

New York. Dec. 12.-Herman Heinze
who made silver half dollars so well that
only experts could distinguish his pro-
duct from that Of the mint. was sentenced
today to six years at Sing Sing prison
and to pay the government $50 IN real
money Heinze's method was to melt up
Mexican Ealf dollars and rernould the
bullion into counterfeit American hall
dollars. About 200 of these, practically
perfect in weight, ratio and Workman
ship. are said to have been passed when
secret service agents interfered. The
courterfeiter calmly admitted having
made the coins and set up the defence
that his money was as good as the gov
ernmert's and that consequently no one
had been defrauded. He was making
money, he said, with which to build an
air ship. as he was certain that he had
solved the problem of aerial navigation.
Heinze came East from San Francisco
and began business in cottage on the
outskirts Of Suffern. N. y.

ANOTHER PURCHASER
Is in the Field for That Block Of eos-

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 12.-lt Is
stated on high railroad authority here
that negotiations between the cana
dian Pacific and the New York. New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. are
still proceeding with the Canadian Pa
cific a favoring party to the purchase
Of the Boston & Maine holdings Of the
New Haven. Apart. however, from any
question of the attitude of the federal
government or the state. the Massa-
chusetts trolleys Of the New Haven
road is regarded as a serious obstacle
to the carrying through Of the sale.
What. however, is a considerable i'm
portant matter is that another large
railroad interest has approached the
New Haven management with a suS-
gestion of the sale to it of the Boston
& Maine shares. The whole matter
has not advanced to a point where it
will be more than discussed at tOmOr-
rows meeting OF the New York, New
Haven e. Hartford directors.
An officer Of the New York. New Ha-
ven &, Hartford Railroad Co.. today
called attention to the fact that should
the New Haven corporation decide to
sell hereafter to any railroad interest
that the 10000 shares practically
controlling the Boston & Maine Road
will never hereafter be separated and
will go in block to any interest which
may acquire it.
