HANDBOOK MAKERS
CHARGE POLICE "TIPPED OFF,
RAID
Six of the Men Arrested Saturday
Plead Guilty and Pay SIS Fines.
Continuances Are
Asked

Charging that they were victims OF dis
elimination on the part of the police, the
handbook makers and lottery men VINO
were arrested in a raid on their stands
in the business section Saturday, when
arraigned yesterday declared the police
had allowed others in the same business
to escape arrest by giving out tips pre-
vious to the raid.
Six of the alleged proprietors entered
pleas of guilty and paid the fine of $50.
The others either pleaded not guilty or
asked continuance.
Those who were fined were Edward

acting for Ellis Cohn, 115 South Spring;
James Mccormick, SIS South SPRING. II.
Brinkman, 225 South Spring; Joseph
Murphy, lis South Spring, and j. Il.
Brooks, 219 West Third street.
1t is alleged that Brooks is the only
real proprietor among those who pleaded
guilty, the others being merely clerks,
who were arrested in the absence of their
proprietors when the raid was made sat-
urday.
C. Weber of 1879 South Broadway asked
time to plead, and II. Grossmeyer. 307
South Spring, was given until today to
plead, while r. D. Price of 425 South

before a jury was set for October 10.
The defense, it is understood, will be
on the ground that the man arrested
was not the bona fide proprietor, but an
employe.

Lives

CHARLES w. Tebo, a photographer and
sign writer of 2127 Maple avenue. who
is a temporary inmate of the city jail
pending the expiration of SO-day SEN
tence for wife-beating, will face serious
charges on his release, including attempt
ing to murder his wife and three chill
dren by poisoning them and mistreating
his two sons and little daughter.
The wife and children told frightful
story to the police yesterday, when HUI

the police surgeon for examination.
Joseph Tebo 14-year-old son of the ac-
cused man, said MY father drinks
heavily and since last June has mis-
treated my brother Edward. aged Z. my
sister Julia years old, and myself. My
mother could not prevent it, because she
went out to work while he stayed home
drunk.
my father ruined my little sister and
made wrecks out of my brother and me.
He compelled us to submit to all kinds of
fearful abuse and finally I threatened
to tell my mother.
when he learned that I meant to tell
mother my father mixed up paris green
and a lot of poisons which he used in his
business and put them in our food one
night at supper. Immediately we all got
sick and l almost died.
"Our lives were only saved by the
prompt action of trained nurse who

In RESPONSE to a Geographic communi

of his case until Thursday, October II,
Justice Summerfeld wired back late yes
terday afternoon granting the request.
Constable Frank G. Cochran, who ac-
companied Constable Ben Cohn to San

alleged kidnapping of Older, said yester-

Complaint against Older and r. A.

Brown of Los Angeles. The case is to be
tried in Los Angeles on the technical
grounds of Brown being resident of this
city.

But they have devoted some study to the

But they have devoted some study to the
physical self.
1t is a we'll established fact that musi-
clans possess certain peculiar personal
characteristics. This is. particularly true
of instrumentalists. There is a fineness
of lineament and an expressiveness OF
feature more general than Is to be found
in the faces of the members of most
other professions. The eye of the
musician possesses particular habits. The
pupil is unusually quick to dilate or con-
tract, and changes In the color of the
iris are not unusual in this class. The
musicians hands are finely formed, with
thin fingers. The shoulders are seldom
wide. There appears to be tendency
toward the spirituele often, of course,
almost obliterated by hereditary in
f1uences.
But here we encounter the question:
Are these characteristics result or
natural accompaniment of the cause?
Is the fineness of features discernible in
Paderewski and Kubelk and other we'll
known musicians the result of long de-
yotion to music or the natural expression
Of a musical temperament? Had en-
yironment made Paderewski a physicion
or a lawyer would his appearance have
been the same? If not, we must con-
clude that physical appearance Is great
ly Influenced by training.
The theory that psychological and
physical characteristics of the musician
are the result of devotion to music is
borne out by the case of Myrtle Elvyn,
the brilliant young American pianist who
has created a sensation in Europe and
who makes her American debut this rail-
Miss Elvyn has developed into one OF the
most beautiful of American women. Yet
an examination of photographs of Miss
Elvyn as a child reveal girl of very
ordinary appearance not exhibiting any
great promise of beauty Shall we con-
clude that Miss Elvyn's beauty is due to
the development of the soul within by
the magic touch of music? If we can
reach that belief, the musical education
of us less gifted mortals will mean some
thing more to us than the requirement
of musical skill We all would like to
be beautiful. and we would like ONT
children to be beautiful.
1t is probable, however that the close
association of music and beauty are
natural. The musical temperament. even
without development, undoubtedly In
fiuences the personal appearance. That
influence Is strengthened by musical
study and the expression of harmony by
means of voice or piano or violin.

AGAIN APART ON
NEW STREET NAMES
SOUTH OF JEFFERSON FOLK TO
HAVE HEARING
City Engineer Favors Reviving Scheme
Reported Two Years Ago, While
Council Puts Decision Up to
Fifth Warder
and a faithful worker.

The controversy over the remaining and
redistricting of streets south of Jefferson
street came up in the council again yes
terday.
In substance the city engineers de-
partment merely resnbmitted the scheme
once adopted by the council in 1905 by
which all the streets in the district are
renamed.
Those going in one direction are num-
bered; in another they bear new names.
Fortieth street. as shown on the map,
for instance. now jumps and zigzags in
such d way that only a Philadelphia
lawyer can find the various sections. Yet
the mail men are expected to deliver let
tiers there. and strangers must find the
house numbers they seek.
The council has practically put the ques-
ton up to Councilman Wallace and will
vote on his recommendation.
1t is understood that he favors the city
engineers solution, but before voting
wishes to hear expressions from, the peo-
pie interested.
On that account special hearing will
be had in the near future to discuss the
best plan, IL any can be suggested.
Mr.. Wallace remarked that, perhaps
by calling each alternate thoroughfare
place instead of ''street" possibly con-
fusion could be avoided without changing
the names of SO many streets.

The state board of agriculture is will
ing that this should be the case. At pres

is before the supreme court and 1t Is
thought that that body will decide favor
ably. At all events, the park will be
thrown open to the public even should
the decision be adverse.
