Higgins there is now no doubt

secretary and Inspector Griffith, of the
Newport police to Albany and Brooklyn
10 inquire about the man in order TO
make IL positively certain that he has
rot been imposed upon.
Brennan is guilty of completely in the
car barn robbery, and he pleaded guilty
at the trial, but when he came up for
sentence the record Of Maxwell was
urged against him, and ne was given
nine years. a longer term than he other
wise would have had had his correct
name been known 10 the police.
That the man is Brennan and not

when several police officers Of Newport
visited him IN the State prision. He and
Maxwell were both arrested here as sus-

LONDON, April 25.-London is wit
Messing the novel sight of a strike of
restaurant mattresses, started with dra-
matte suddenness and complete unanim-
ity.
Some five hundred persons were
lunchinE at the Cabin restaurant IN
Pfccadnly where girls alone are en-
ployed as mattresses. Suddenly the
fifty waiter girls flung down their trays
and declared a general strike. So swift
y was the signal obeyed that girls
engaged in drawing hot water from
urns left the taps open and allowed
the water to flow on the floor. The
bolder spirits mounted tables, and made
eloquent speeches to the amazed lunch
ers. explaining their grievance, and
begging the public to boycott the res
taurant until they were given redress.
The manager made a desperate at
tempt TO restore order, and as that
proved unsuccessful. declared the res
tsarant closed. The guests left mostly
without paying their bills. A big crowd
gathered in the street and cheered the
mattresses. and war to the knife upon
the oppressive management was de-
clared with enthusiasm.
Inc SITlke DeSdn because one OF the
girls was dismissed summariIy. and in
the opinion of her colleagues. unjustly.
Two days before, the fifty girls had
threatened 10 strike, and TO avoid trou-
BILE, the manager promised TO reinstate
the victim and not to dismiss any other
employee during a term Of three months.
When the girls afterward demanded
that this promise should be put in legal
form, the manager drew back; and the
whole establishment decided to strike
without notice, and at the most incOn-
venient time for the management
The girls complain that they are paid
only $40 a week. and that they are
forbidden to accept tips The restaD-
rant company remains obdurate and
the strikers have decided to start a CO.
operative restaurant of their own.

THE CANALS OF MARS.

them which have since become famous
as the canals Of Mars. Surprising as

made out, they have grown only more
wonderful with study 1t is certainly
no exaggeration 10 say that they are
the most astonishing objects 10 be

"Eot Guilty."
Editor of the Sun:

Not guilty" said the jury in
the Beatrice Gordon case. Not
guilty." said the jury in the Mrs.
Bradley case. Not guilty." said
the jury in the Haywood case.
"Not guilty" said the jury in the
Pettibone case, etc. Why not re-
peal that portion of the criminal
laws that provides for punishment
for murder? Why not throw open
the gates to those who have so
little regard for human life and
give them a clear field to go do
murder to their hearts contentP
Let us have a grand carnival of
murder, that would shame Louis
the XIV, or even Nero, the old
tyrant of Rome!
Then some day, out of disgust
for such inhuman acts, let us hope
that law and order would once
more reign, and hat should the
occasion demand, a jury could be
found that would have the man.
hood to render a verdict according
to the law and the evidence.
