TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. 8, 1908.

"RATHER than have my daughter WORK
for Der living I would steal to support
her" was the uttefance of Mrs. Evelyn
Woods, of Philadelphia, when she and her
twenty-year-old daughter Eva we're ar
raipned before a magistrate last week to
answer the charge of shOp'iftiDg. The
magistrate realizing that the woman
came from good family, tried 10 aid
them, but his solicitations went tor
uaueht, az the woman absolutely refused
TO take any steps that would lead to her
release. They we're held in $500 bail
each for court. The accused had stolen
fly dollars worth of wearing spparel.
The above is a specimen Of the erroneous
notion some people entertain of the mis-
siou of life. Most of the trouble which
iofests the world is the outcome OF at
tempts to evade plain law of revelation
&c well as nature. A certaiu percentage
Of the inhabitants Of the world make up
their minds that they will neither toll
nor soin. but tina: they will get through
life in some way at the expense Of others.
The woman referred 20 above had
brought an offspring into the world which
sbe had tutored to eat the bread Of idle
ness. and the mother preferred 10 COM
nit grand larceny rather than to allow her
daughter to work as other young women.
Such people deserve no sympathy.

Washington, ID. O., March 8.


Washington, d. O., March 8.
-Four naval officers we're examined to-
day by the Senate committee on naval
affairs TO Offset the testimony taken yes
terdsy and on preceding days with ref
erence 10 the danger alleged to exist
through the use of the present styl9 of

Tets on the American modern bsttleships.
They were commander f. F. Fletcher
and Lieutenant Commander V. O. Chase
Professor Philip r. Alg'r AID Leu
tenant Commander j 'seph S.rauss.
They all coucoued ia stating that the
*llgd dspgers had been exaggerated
and that everything possible was being
done by the department TO minimize
such danger as really existed. As for
the poor exhibition CT shooting given by
the American chips at the battle of San.
tiago which was referred to yesterday by
Commander Sims as "the most disgrace
full exhibition Of gunDery ever seen on
the face of the globe, it WAS declared
that no navy in the world could have
done better than did The American navy
at that time.
Prospects are that the hearing in the
governments case against the Standard
Oil Company to be held at Cleveland,
o., March 8, will bring cut the most
sensational evidence yet sddUced, as that
city is the center of the Standards op-
era'ious, and R0ckelelers home. The

Mr.. HEPBURN's long promised bill
re,.r,ling Wall street stock gambling
was prese1tod to the House yesterday,
"a was stated in the Gazstte Of that day.
t. imposes tax of one-half of ore per
cent. upon all transactions, whether
stocks are actually sold or merely the
form of sale is made. This tax is i'm
posed upon the amount OF SIock In
volved in the transaction. Upon a
bona fids sale amounting to $lO,OOO,
the tax would be $50; upon a margin
sale of like amount, where the spec
ulator invested only 10 per cent, or
LOCO, The same tax would be imposed
but in the margin transaction it would
amount to 5 per cent upon the capital
actually invested. While there is no
question Of tbs purpose Of the bill, its
effect nav no. be 80 satisfactory as its
au,hor believes. A heavier tax was
Imposed upon sales of stock during the
Spanish wsr period, and was not re-
sarded as a restriction at all. However,,
there can be no doubt that it makes
margin gambling much more exPen-
sive, aud, therefore, should reduce The
volume of such -ausaC MS materially.

Iris understood that the supporters OF
an extra session of the legislature do not
find much comfort in the Senate. The
men of that body, many of them old and
experienced men, want to stay in Rich
mond and to keep at work till they have
cleared away some of the mass of meas
ares which are now piled up. before them.
1t Is believed that the Senate and the
House will not be far apart when the
matter is discussed. Ifthere is especial
session it will cost the State about $780,
900. Each member will receive $3.50,
and there is no way for the members to
explaia that they are not "castiDg an
anchor to wndTsrd" when they es-
pouss an extra session. The republicans
are standing sgainst an extra session.
The older members of the majority party
will take the same view, and it is more
than probable that the session will be
extended for two weeks and that the en-
tire business will be cleaned up tefOge

Arrest of SusnecfF.

AAASoN OhoPSSse1
Chicago, Mar. 3 -Isador Maron, a
alleged to be q fell)w anarchist of
Lazarus Averbush, the slain would-te
assassin of Chief OF ?, lice Shippy, was
captured at O'Clock this morning. His
arrest was caused by his visit to the
Averbush fat. Detectives who guarded
the place all night 10 take into custody
the second sister OF Ayerbush, we're
rewarded at daylight by message from a
woman who was assisting them 20 the
effect that the "curly-hesded young Jew
who went with Averbush TO the aDar-
chist meeting Sunday, would soon be
there" Maron appeared an hour later
carrying a book ga ausrchism, a socialist
paper containing an accc uot of the at
tack upon Chief Shippy sud some Yld-
dish literature. He was nervous aud
excited. he stopped at the fat of
neighbOr and inquired what had become
of the Averbush girls.
On being Informed that they were not
at the fiat, he started away. He was
seized by two detectives, who took him
to the Office OF acting Chief Schuettler
to be "sweated." His inability to
speak English Auenty and the lack OF
an Interpreter, made attempts to get TO-
formation from him difficult. Maron
admits being an acquaintance of the
family. He deuieS all knowledge of
Averbush's ansrchistic plans.
The directly melting causes Of this at-
tempt to asssssinste the chief of police,
it is alleged, was the publication 10 the
daily press of an announcement that
Emma Goldman would be deported from
America if she tried 10 speak in Chicago.
Harry Shippy, the l9-year-Old con Of
hiefShippy, who is at Augustine Hos
pi,al suffering from the bullet wound in
Aicled by the would.be assassin, was re-
ported today to be resting well. His
chances CT recovery are favorable,
