EASY TO GET PEARLS.
Simple Game by Which Maiden Lane
Firm Was Swindled.

NEW YORK. April 4.-Four oriental
pearls costing at wholesale 81, 500, were in
trusted two weeks ago by member Of the
firm Of Benedict and Warner, importers at
q Maiden Lane, to a young man who Is
now known to be swindler. The firm did
not know that 1t was defrauded until yes
terday, and the police were then notified.
The young man, who gave the name Of
Theodore Phipps, had confederate who
telephoned that c. w. Schumann's Sons,
937 Broadway. desired some pearls and
would send a clerk for them. The voice
heard at the telephone was deep-toned and
with German accent. In about the time
the Broadway store to Maiden Lane the
young man appeared and asked for the
pearls.
Mr.. Warner showed a quantity of pearls
and the caller. who had pair of tweezers
and handled the gems like dealer, selected
three that were round and one that was
button-shaped, but his eye for color was
amateurish. as he took those with a yell
low tinge in preference to others of a rich
creamy tint. The four pearls were about
the same In weight, their total weight be-
ing forty-two and one-Quarter grains. The
advance message on the telephone and the
business-like air of Mr.. Phipps carried
through the transaction without any sus-
picion being aroused. He folded the pearls
in a tissue paper package, which he placed
In his pocket. and said good day" not
even being asked to sign receipt When
Schumanns Sons got the bill the fraud was
discovered.

NEW YORK TO RETRENCH.
City Must Cut Down Expenditures OF
Raise Taxes.

NEW YORK, April 4-Another warning
cry as to the danger of exceeding the debt
limit of the city was raised yesterday when
the advisory commission on taxation and
finance of which Edgar ]. Levey is chair
man, made a report to the mayor on the
subject and recommended that an amend
ment to the state constitution be prepared
exempting. in addition to the water supply
debt, all bonds for selfsupporting NUM-
cipal enterprises from computations OF the
city's margin Of borrowing power. These
enterprises would include the docks and the
SubwayS.
After reading the report the mayor con-
cluded that it was time for the city to be-
gin to practice rigid economy in the matter
Of proposed improvements for which no
contracts have yet been let. The amend
ment cannot, If passed, obtain proper sane
ton before 1910. Among the big improve
ments now under consideration are fourth
bridge across the East river, the Seaside
Park, the extension of the Riverside Drive,
a new sewer system, the Brooklyn Brldge
terminal a new municipal building for
Brooklyn, the Hudson Memorial briage. the
tracks in 18th avenue and the proposed ex-
penditures for the dock department, for
which $50 100000 has already been asked
if no private companies bid for the new
subways they would be included also. In
reviewing the situation thus presented the
report says:
ct would seem that one OF three aiterna-
tives must be accepted. Either ~ the city
must enter into period Of enforced econ
omy in the way of capital expenditure.
reaching even so far as the complete aban-
donment of such public improvements as
are not to be regarded as absolutely es-
sential; and severe retrenchment In re-
gard to even such important needs as
school houses and street improvements; or
(0 assessed valuations must be forced up
ward to q degree which your commission
can but regard as unnatural and likely to
result in hardship and injustice: or CD pro-
vision should be made for an amendment to
the constitution increasing the city's power
to incur debt"

Nothing in the house was saved attention.
after the women's lives were saYed, be-
ing devoted to the saving of the neighbor
ing cottages which lay between this and

Commenting upon the educational
methods in public schools, a corre-
spondent IN the New York Sun says:
The people are peacefully going 70
sleep uder the delusion that large ex-
penditures for education are all that
are necessary for the training of our
future citizens. The fault is vety
largely with the system, which few
people understand or cafe to invest.-
gate, but must be shared BY fatnera
and mothers, who pay the taxes, send
the shildren to school and feel that
they have done tn cir full duty. Let us
hope for the day to return when 1t will
be considered an accomplishment
worth striving for to have our boys
and girls able to read, write. spell and
speak correctly, with a general know
ledge Of history AMI geography"
