That bill provided that on the board Of directors

Although the legislatures OF some states have
enacted laws providing for a two cent the mile
passenger rate, the companies have more ways
than one in making up any loss that they may
sustain because of the reduction. For instance
the transportation companies in Pennsylvania
have increased the freight ON cement FIVE cents
a barrel and the cost of that article has been in
creased five cents barrel by the manufacturers.
The consumer finally pays the advance and
cement it is figured will cost the people annually

New York, Dec. 2.--William White. II
years old, "a wagon boy employed by the
United States Express company at its
Communipaw distributing station, was
arrested at his work yesterday and taken
TO Jersey City police headquarters, where
he confessed that ii was he. and not pro-
fessional thieves, who stole the $4,000
package OF jewelry which was lost from
the Communipaw platform week ago.
BY Whites direction all the jewelry
still missing was recovered. The bulk OF
IL was found I'm an old box at his home.
No. 81 Greene street, Jersey City; pearl
and diamond cluster ring was found in
pocket of a pair OF overals hanging in
! his room, and diamond collar ornament
was delivered on demand by Charles Kor-
OFF, another wagon boy, who worked
where White did
Koroff was also arrested. He and White
will be called upon to plead to a charge
OF grand larceny.
Whites arrest was brought about
through statements made by Lena Ray
mond. a tobacco factory girl, OF whom
White was enamored. and with whom he
had tried ito keep steady company last
summer.
The gem package was owned by Alfred
IL. Smith a Co.. jewelers., OF No. 475 Fifth
avenue, who had shipped IL last Saturday
marked value $1,000" On Thursday Louis
Pukell a boy employed at the American
Tobacco company's stogie factory in Jer-
sey City, took To police headquarters
pearl necklace worth $1,000. which he said
he had bought from boy named Pete"
for twenty-five cents.
Pukell said that Pete used TO work at
the factory and that on Saturday he had
offered him a whole handful of gems for

it to his home, showed 1t to his father.
who whipped him for spending his money
for rubbish. Pukell then gave the neck
lace to his six-year-old sister. who wore
ii for several days. or until the elder
Pukell read of the jewel robbery.
Iom then on Pukell did detective work
with real detectives. The first clue led TO
the belief that Pete Baccinelli of Bruins
wick street, Jersey City, was the boy
wanted.
When questioned at headquarters Pete
was astonished TO learn that the jewels
he had taken were anything but "snide
stuff He admitted that he had taken
them off a counter i'm the express room
and said he had seen the value $1,000 on
the wrapper; but on opening the packet
had concluded that some one had marked
them at that fancy figure for fun. He had
supposed he said. that there wouldn't be
any "holler" about the loss OF n little I'M

All the stuff was recovered at his home

For Better Roads.

Whatever else the next legislature
does it should amend the present road
law by repeating it entirely and en-
acting a new one that would be more
in keeping with modern ideas and
modern methods. The present one is
such hodge-podge patchwork of
amendments and contradictions that
those who work the roads at all
do SO from a sense of public duty.
Any sort Of lawyer at all can get al
most anyone off from a charge as
road defaulter Another thing that
should be kept in mind is a provision
that will require the floating popula-
ton that drifts from one turpentine
still to another to do the share of
this work that now properly belongs
to them. AS it is they pay no taxes
and fully two-thirds of the expendi-
lures from the fine and forfeiture
fund is for their prosecution.-De-
