MURDERS JUDGE
WHO JAILED HIM.
Archibald Heron Shoots Rev. Mr..
Pickett, Former Recorder at
Metuchen.

New York, July 17.--The Rev. F. d
d. Prickett. retired Methodist Epis.
copal clergyman, editor of the Metuehen
IN. W Weekly Reporter. was shot and
killed by Archibald Heron at his homo
in Metuchen yesterday. Mr.. Prickett
was recorder of that borough up to a
year ago and he once sentenced Heron
to 10 days imprisonment for neglecting
his family and being drunk and disor-
derby.
Heron threatened to get even when
he was sentenced and had nursed his
vengeance a twelvemonth After the
shooting he returned to his house and,
cooked revolver in hand, stood at the
top of the first flight of stairs and de-
fled the constables and citizens. They
told him they would take him dead or
alive, at whatever cost to themselves,
and, after much parley, he surrendered
Mr.. Prickett was IS. He had had
charges in different Methodist churches
in northern New Jersey and at Metu-
chen. and when he retired from active
religious work Is years ago he took up
his residence at Metuchen. He was re-
corder Judge in criminal cases, for n
year. Heron would not talk of his
crime; the only explanation is that his
yearning for revenge finally drove him
to it.

Conditions Which Make Crime.

Judge Mckenzie Cleland of Chicago,
has made great stir in that city with
original methods of treating urban Grim
mails. In the July McClure's he tells
his conclusion in this great problem.
and the evil conditions which he found
there.
"The Municipal Court of Chicago" he
says, began its existence December
Sd, 1906. Besides transacting civil
business, it is the trial court for all
misdemeanors as well as for all viola
tons of city ordinances. The Maxwell
street criminal branch, where I presid-
ed for thirteen months. is on the West
Side, about mile from the city hall, in
what is known as the Ghetto District.
This district-not more than a mile
square-has between two and three
hundred thousand inhabitants, of thirty
different nationalities. many of them
from the poorest laboring class. In one
school district neart he court, three and
one half blocks long and two blocks
wide, there are fourteen hundred pulic
school children. besides hundreds who
attend parochal schools, and many who
attend none.
1T is the Maxwell street district of
which leading Chicago newspaper, af-
terward quoted in McClure's Magazine,
said: In this territory murderers, rob
beers and thieves of the worst kind are
born, reared, and grown to maturity in
numbers which exceed the record of
any similar district anywhere on the
face of the globe; murders by the score,
shooting and stabbing ARRAYS by the
hundred, assaults, burglaries, and rob
berries by the thousand-such is the
crime record each year for this fostering
place of evil which lies scant mile
from the heart of Chicago
within few days from my going
into this court, was confronted with
the problem of what to do with viola
tors of the city laws who had others de-
pendent upon them for support. To
impose a fine upon such persons would,
if the fine were paid, ordinarily deprive
the family of some of the necessities
of life. On the other hand, if the fine
were not paid and the offender were
committed to the house of correction
to work it out at the rate of fftv
cents daty, not only would the family
he deprived of their means OF support
during his imprisonment, but the de-
PENDANT, when released, would be with
out employment or the ability to pro-
vide for his family. l observed that
frequently fwpmen whose husbands
had been fined for beating them would
20 out and borrow money with which
TO pay the fine.
ut was very apparent that such pro.
,eedings operated most harshly upon
Lhe poor. A person able to pay a fine
lad comparatively little TO fear if he
violated the city laws, while inability
y pay meant the loss Of liberty twenty
our hours for each ffty cents of the
Inc and costs, which was nothing more
" less than imprisonment for debt

WHAT is TRUE CHARITY?
Trinity Church Spends Thousands An
nually in Philanthropic Work, But
Maintains The Worst Tene-
ments in The Country.

Is Trinity, which draws from the he'll
of the West Side tenement district SC
much mysterious revenue, and disposes
OF it as mysteriously, Indifferent to its
duty as benevolent institution Not
at all, Look in the yearbook of the
parish. You will see there that Trinity
maintains trade schools, parochial
schools, missions, many kinds of phil
anthropy. 1t teaches girls to cook and
sew and gives military training to boys.
Every summer it gives to the children
of its Sunday school an excursion, up
the Hudson, for instance. and ! am as.
sured that these excursions are delight
full occasions. and the children are very
happy, and it would do one good to see
how they enjoy the fresh air and the
sunshine. Every chapel in the Trinity
organization has its builds and associa-
tons for charitable work; every one of
its clergy is thoroughly impressed with
the idea of doing good in the world.
But the fact from which have found
no escape is, that the money for these
excellent excursions is produced from a
living inferno, and the greatest of all
the mysteries seems to be this; that
even for the religious and benevolent
purposes specified by Trinity's charter
the means should come in this way

"Some years ago in Hartford, we all
went to church one hot. sweltering

Tawlev, city missionary who went

OF the life in cellars, where poverty
resided; he gave instances of the hero

New System of Underwater Wireless.

| John Gardner, the English scientist,
purposes accomplishing by means of
submarine sound waves very much what
is now possible through the agency of
Hertzian waves, but he has it in his
power easily to improve upon the lat
ter by preventing the purpose of his

someone else either accidentally or in
tentionally. In wireless telegraphy and
in distant control by wireless impulses
or waves, the rapid and continuous
sending of series of other waves will
produce what is technically known as
interference" which has the same eff.
feet that two people speaking rapidly
at the same time have upon a listener
there would be confusion and but lit
tie proper understanding. 1t was to
provide against this difficulty that Mr..
Gardner discovered and developed his
present system of sound control.
Mr.. Gardner has recourse to two
simple clements in the get-up of his ap
paratus. One is a thin strip or tape of
metal which he can taughten just as
one does the string on an instrument so
as to vary its pitch, and the other is
small and very delicately adjusted mi

strip TO the desired key, Mr. Gardner
places upon this strip one Of the two
small carbons of his mierophone. When
the right sound waves reach the receiv-
