He Had All of Lost Col

900, and Police Fol-
low Clues.

NEW YORK, Dec 2o.--Had fourteen
year-old Louis Hukell only had 81 last
Saturday night that he might have pur-
chased the whole SO, 900 worth Of Alfred
II Smith & Co.'S lost gems from his
friend. Pete Baocineli. he would have
saved the police a world Of trouble.
The 5000 pearl necklace he was able
70 buy with his lone quarter helps, OF
course. It furnishes a clue. But what
worries the police Is the fear that Pete
has fallen into the hands OF persons
who know more than either he or Louis
concerning the value Of gems. Because,
in that case, the rest OF the $4,000 worth
Of treasure may not be offered for the
same bargain-counter prices again.
Boy Seems to Be Innocent.
Little Pete has never been IN trouble
with the police. and they don't know
where TO look for him. now that they
want him so badly. The freedom with
which he exhibited his gems to Louis
didn't seem 10 imply that he thought
he had been doing anything wrong.
The best guess appears 70 be that he
picked the jewels up in the street, and
tried to dispose Of them without
thought that he was doing anything dis
honest
All Louis knows about Pete is that
he used 10 work IN the same stogie
factory in Jersey City with the former,
that they met on the street Saturday.
that Pete flashed his necklace and
asked for bids. that a quarter was
agreed on. and that the sale was made
al that price.
Would Sell All for So.
Then Pete exhibited the rest OF his
stock and tried to sell cut for So.
but Louis said he had no more money
10 waste. Pete proposed TO dispose Of
two pieces for IS cents. and the police
think one Of them was the Sl3.5U0
emerald brooch. Louis declared this
much toe high and the two boys sep
arated.
Louis showed his necklace TO his
father and was spanked for spending

DELIVERS LECTURE.
pr. Ormond Talks On "Present Tend
 encies In American Thought"

University, April 19.-(Special.) )-Dr Alexander T. Ormond, professor of phil osophy of Princeton university, delivered a lecture last night in Clark hall at the university, his subject being Present Ten dencies in American Thought" Dr. Or mond showed himself to be a profound thinker, and was given close attention by his audience.
 The speaker, in the beginning, elmi- mated from the discussion educational and logical thinking, which he spoke of as specialized, branches, and announced that he would confine himself strictly to philosophical thought. He then spoke of the influence of temperament on our thinking and the tendency of the present day thought to be guided by actual ex penrience and realities rather than vis- ionary fanciful facts.
 A comparison of the materialistic and idealstic schools of though then followed, coupled with suggestion for men to take the best from both schools and unite them rather than adopt either in it's en- tirity. The impossibilty of explaining and answering, by the individualist, of the great problems of life was pointed out and strong argument given for the ab- solute idealist.
 At the conclusion of the lecture many of the audience remained while an in- formal reception was held and they were given an opportunity to make the ac- quaintance of Dr. Ormond.

HOG PROBLEM UNSETTLED

Bessemer, April 19.-(Special)-Sev cases were continued in the city court this morning which may be productive of a clash in the City Council when that body meets again. These cases were six in number, and W ore against saloon men and others for selling liquor in a pool anl billiard room.
 There are several pool rooms in Bes- semer which were once connected with saloons, but the evils growing out Of this business were such that a city ordi- nance was passed prohibiting such com nection between saloons and pool halls. Following the passage of the ordinance each class O. business was separated and continued so for some time.
 Of late. however, certain saloon men nave been cncroaching upon the forbid- den territory and some even went so far as to knock out the partitions and sell drinks in the pool nails openly. Arrests followed, and the offenders were brought up in the city court
 The cases were to have beeh taken up this morning. but q petition came in cases be held over until after the next meeting of the City Council, at which some action is expected regarding the present ordinance which will more clearly define the rglhts and privileges of the saloon men, especially those who own the pool halls.
