Is caused, believe. by lack OF proper

Parents cannot shift this duty to
teachers.
There Is growing laxity on the

MISSING JEWELR1
STOCK RETURNED
GOODS JOHN HELlERiCH WAS
CHARGED WITH CONCEALiNo
NOW IN RECEIVERS HANDS.

An express wagon load Of boxes con-
tanning silver, clocks and jewelry was
found on the sidewalk in front OF the
store OF John Hellerich. No. 80 Michi-
gan-ave., when the manager placed in
charge by the receiver arrived
Wednesday morning. 1t was identi-
fed as property which Hellerich was
accused OF having taken away from
his Gratiot-ave. store after his failure.
Assistant Secretary Joseuh A. Bow
er. Of the Detroit Trust Co., the re-
ceiver, took charge of the goods.
Hellerich will be adjudicated a bank
rupt within day or two, and II would
then be a serious oqense for any Of
his property to be concealed from his
creditors.
Bower communicated with Helle-
richs attorney, and the latter ad-
mitted that his client had knowledge
OF the silver and other goods being re-
turned. There Is still some property
missing and rigid search will be
made for 1t after the bankruptcy adju-
dication Is made.

DEPARTMENT RULE
IS VIOLATED IN
SMITHS CASE
POLICE COMMISSIONER WAS NOT.
REGISTERED AS WE'RE NEW
BERRY AND HlssLER. INDICTED
WITH HiM-F. ANDREWS WAS.

When Police Commissioner Smith
was arraigned in police court few
days ago on a charge or conspiracy
In connection with alleged grating
operations against Annie Smith. the
Delray resort keeper, he was spared
the humiliation OF being registered by
the court officers and having his "pedi-
gree" taken for the record that Is kept
In police headquarters
This is procedure required In all
cases which come up In police court
No. ?. and no matter how prominent
the offender may be In social OF bust
ness circles. no exceptions are sup
posed TO be made. Even Frank En-
drews. when he was arrested for
wrecking tho City Savings bank, was
compelled to go through the humiliat-
Ing ordeal In February, 1902. and he
was then police commissioner, or at
least had been until the day OF his
arrest. His record and full pedigree
appear In one OF the big books kept
for such purpose In the superinten-
dents office.
But In the case OF Commissioner
Smith none OF the court officers who
have this work In charge saw At to
brave his chief on the subject OF his
pedigree"
He was not even registered on the
long sheet which goes TO headquar.
tiers daily and which Is supposed 10
be complete record OF all the busi-
ness transacted by the court.
Thus the police record for that par
tioular day Is incomplete and there
is nothing Ia the books at police head
quarters to show that Commissioner
Smith was ever charged with an Of
Tense. The same courtesy was not ex-
tended to Capt Newberry and Frank
Hlbbler, who were arraigned the same
day. and who were charged Jointly
with the commissioner with conspir-
ms to compound felony.
why was the rule violated In the
case of Commissioner SMITH" was
asked OF Sergt. Schnable, one OF the
court officers who has charge OF this
work.
We'll, we didn't think II would be
just the right thing" he replied. And
it's just\as well we didn't take his
pedigree In view OF the way the case
turned out
The plain Inference was that the ex.
ception was made In the commission
er's case simply because he was the
commissioner, and he seems to have
acquiesced In the violation OF one OF
the departments most important reg
ulations.

MONTREAL, June 3-Sir Robert
G. Reid died this morning after a
long illness.
Robert G. Reid was born in Scot
land and emigrated to Australia in
1865. Six years later he came to
America. where he thought the oppor-
tunities for acquiring wealth and for
tune were brighter than they were In
the old country. BY profession he was
q contractor and the first notable work
he did In this country was the con-
struction Of the international bridge
at Niagara Falls. His next work was
to construct a bridge over the Colo
RADIO river at Austin, Tex. Turning his
attention to railroad construction, he
proved as successful as builder In
this line as in bridge contract work.
He built $50 miles of the Southern
Pacific west of San Antonio, Tex.
Sir Robert also built the interna-
tional bridge over the Rio Grande con-
Meeting the United States with Mex
leo. Going to Canada, he became in.
terested In the construction work Of
the Canadian Pacific railroad and his
last big work was the building of the
Newfoundland railroad.
Sir Robert amassed vast fortune
through success In his chosen field OF
work. He was a keen business man
aud very few OF his ventures proved
other than successful For many
years he has made Newfoundland his
hume.
