TRAMPS STORM NUNS
SCHOOL FOR FOOD

New York, Dec. 3.-The nuns in
charge of the Mount ST Vicent Aca-
denny, a fashionable boarding school
for young women, the grounds
of which extend from Riverdale to
Yonkers, along the Hudson River,
were frightened into state border
ing on terror today when 100 tramps
took possession of the main entrance
of the principal building and de-
manded that they be given breakfast.
The news that the sisters of charity
never refused food to a stranger had
been circulated in the hobo world.
While several nuns fastened to
quiet the invaders by giving them
what food could be quickly prepared,
the mother superior telephoned to
police headquarters, and Capt Carey
of the Bronx detective bureau, with
seven men and with four patron wa
CONS was FASTENED to the convent.
The men became uproarious when
food was handed to only a few, those
forced to wait crying that they were
hungry and uttering insolent re-
marks
When the patrol wagons were seen
tearing up to the door the men, fled,
but the detectives rounded up 80 of
them and took them to Morrisiania
police court.
AS no one was present to make a
complaint, the nuns refusing to APP
pear through fear of publicity, Mag
istrarte House thereupon discharged
them. Some of the man said they
were on their way here to get work
and had stopped in at the convent
where they had learned food was al
ways furnished to the poor.

Intervention in Haiti
Washington Post }

The fall of Haiti's harsh old presi-
dent is almost daily expected in the
capitals of the world, and there will
be few anywhere to drop a tear of
regret for his fall If being a strong
man means the crushing of ones
enemies under an iron boot and ex-
erting ones power by the ruthless
shedding of blood, then President
Nord Alexis has been a strong man.
If his power in the black republic is
slipping from him, it is not to his
abilities, or the lack of them, that the
blame must be laid, but to his bru-
tality. Over a supposedly free people
he has exerted all his efforts to rule
with the measures of tyrant
In the success of the present revo-
luton the Haitians have little or
nothing to fear. Any change could
hardly be for the worse. Gen. Simon
seems to be a patriot There is in
him the stuff of which popular heroes
are made, and his twenty years ex-
perience as commander of the SOU
thern portion of the island has given
him the confidence of his country
men. His recent successes suggest
for him a certain amount of ability,
and it is probable that if he should
be chosen to succeed Nord Alevis.
Haiti would be far better off politi-
eally than she has been for some
years.
But the very geographical position
of the island, as well as the nature
of her people, precludes the possibil-
ity of the Haitians ever enjoying
serene government for any length of
time SO long as that government is
administered from within the island
itself. For three centuries it has been
deluged and torn with revolutions.
Yet its people are naturally peace
able, lacking in aggression and
sense for political intrigue. Most of
the mbelong wholly or in part to the
black race, a submissive race, usually
content to endure patiently their ills
without seeking to stir up new ones
But half the active nations on the
globe have greater or less INTERESTS
in Haiti These interests create fac
tons, encourage dissensions, and fos-
ter intrigue with every little black
and-tan political trickster in the is
land. The result is no order for an
arderly people and no content for
peaceful one.
Perhaps it would be better for the
island if some stronger nation should
rule it. Because of the Monroe doc
trine, lying as a stumbling block in
the path of Europe's colonial ambi-
tons for the western hemisphere.
none of the Old World powers can alb
sorb it. The United States does not
want it. But if the disturbances con
tinue, as probably they will the Unit |
ed States will be forced to intervene
in order to maintain faith with Euro |
pean powers which are prevented bv |
this government from asserting their
rights The sooner Intervention is
the sooner the constant
vexation and danger of complication |
will be removed

AGED CONFIDENCE
QUEEN" CAUGHT
Last Trick Was Selling
False Deed.

New York, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Ellen E
Peck the Confidence Queen" who
is now over 20 years of age, and
whose record is one of the Oldest
in police annals, was arrested once
more last night by Detectives Flood
and Fitzsimmons of the District At
torney's Office and locked up in
Headquarters on a charge of grand
larceny The detectives found her
in the office of Normand, Wilson &
Schubert, real estate brokers, from
whom she had obtained about 2,400
on worthless titles to land in the State
of Kentucky.
The land on which the aged mani
pulator got the money was originally
included in a tract of $4,000 acres
which was granted as far back as
1918 by Gov. Monroe of Virginia, to
Alexander Walcott. At that time the
land was claimed by the State OF
Virginia as being within her boun-
daries. A commission consisting OF
representatives from Virginia and
Kentucky was later appointed to lay
out boundaries between the two
States. The new lining put the Wal
colt land in the State of Kentucky.
In 1850 the Supreme Court of Ken
lucky gave a decision that the Wal
colt grant was invalid, and that the
persons then claiming ownership bas-
ed on that grant had no title to it,.
Many claimants then appeared, among
them a Mrs. Amelia W. Schilling,
who managed to obtain a title to
225,000 acres of the land. This pro-
perty was later turned over by a
deed filed in county in Kentucky to
z. Eliza Knight
1t has since been discovered, &C
cording to Assistant District Attor-
ney Kresel, that Eliza Knight was
none other than Mrs. Peck, who had
assumed title to the land on false pa
pers The records show that be-
tween 1892 and 1908 she has trans
ferred portions of the land to other
persons, presumably with financial
profit.
On Sept 20 last she wrote to the Of
fees of Normand, Wilson & Shubert,
representing herself to be Mrs. e.
Eliza Knight and showing an abb
stract of the title to the land in Ken
lucky, which she said was conveyed
to her by Mrs. Schelling. She asked
the firm to form a company with her
for the purpose of developing the
land and dividing it up for sale. She
agreed to take payment for the prop
erty in the stock Of the corporation.
The next day, according to Mrs.
Kresel, she called again at the office
and said that she needed some money
at once A mortgage on part of the
property was made out, for which she
received $4,000, at this time she said
that she was unmarried, and gave
her address as Sparkill, Rockland
County, NJ Y. She later obtained
$500 more from Mr. Shubert and
500 from Mr. Wilson, another MEM
Der of the firm.
When the firm came to investigate
the woman's claim to the property it
was found to be absolutely worthless.
The District Attorneys office was not
flied and when Mrs Peck called at /
Madison Avenue yesterday she was
arrested Mr. Kresel said that as
soon as she found herself cornered
she confessed to the fraud and adj
mitted that she had signed the mort
gage knowing that it was worthless.
