Thank God the people are reading
and will think and act. OF the last
great effort the Washington Herald
has admirably well selected the fol
lowing salient points:
Why should not the deposition be
secure
Not only is the depositor without
protection, bat the security given To
nation, State, county and city lessons
his security.
The moment the depOsitOrs suspect
bank, they hasten To destroy its sol
Vency. Disirust, and dstrust alone,
can explain the hiding of money.
If you want To lind whether banks
are absolutely secure, ask the direc-
tors TO give you their personal note to
secure your deposit, and you will learn
that they will not bear the risk they
ask you 10 bear.
No amount of criticism Of the timid
deposition can change The facts; the
people who deposit money want more
security than the laws at present give 3
them.
II may be said that if all people 9
were careful about fire fire insurance 3
rates need not be so high as they are; ,
but the careful have 10 pay higher
rates than they should because some
are not careful.
The law should make it a criminal
oilense 10 loan more than the pre- L
scribed amount 10 one person, and we u
would probably be able to secure the 4
passage of a law prohibiting market
speculation by bank officials.

of deposits would not lead TO degener-
alton in the personnel Of the bankers

Theodore Roosevelt will be remem-
bered as a President who preached
nightly against certain admitted
wrongs, but who did not practice over
much. Like some other professional
eXhOfters, he has been reckless of
speech, careless Of income and outgo
and indifferent to ways and means.
Mr.. Taft may have statesmanlike
ideas bearing on these points, but he
does not venture To- aVOw them They
are not included in his Proxy New
York World
That's Roosevelt in real life-"reck-
less of speech, careless of income and
outgo and indifferent TO ways aud
means" That will hardly be i'm

There was a small sized riot follow

from his wound, went to the store of
Chanceman Morris Kriegler n asked
him to arrest his assailant. The of
f1cer advised him to go to the police

was assaulted by a number of work
men and the prisoner taken from him,
and when Policeman Cronin arrived
the chanceman was the centre of a
group of excited men.
Salvatore Petriccl, said to have been
one OF the most active in the freeing
of the prisoner, was himself made a
prisoner, and the two policemen backed
out followed by the mans friends.

REPOSED
IN POLICE CELL
AS LADY KILLER
Alleged Orange "Masher" Held
on Complaint of Miss
Nellie COsgrOve.

Peter Pizzichillo reposed in a cell in
the Orange police station last night
with his ardor considerably cooled by
an exciting experience he went through
in the evening, and which might have
resulted badly for him but for the in
reference of the police.
Miss Nellie Cosgrove, of Joyce street,
who works in the Orange Memorial
Hospital. last night noticed that she
was being followed. and recognized
Pizzichillo, she claims, as one who had
annoyed her on a number of occasions.
/ She met a number of men, and told
them that the man was following her,
with the result that they proceeded to
handle him in anything but a gentle
manner until the police interviewed.
The girl said before Judge Bray in
court today that the man followed heI
across a dark lot. She claimed she
was badly frightened.
Daniel Coleman, jr., of Henry street;
Daniel J.. Denny, of 81 Joyce street;
Christopher Morlock, jr., of As Beach
street, and Joseph Knobs, Of Mitchell
street, all of Orange, testified that
they had seen the prisoner follow the
girl, and said they caught him.
Pizzichillo denied he followed the
girl, and Judge Bray believed him. He
discharged the man saying that there
was no case against him. The wit
nesses left the court indignant.

BOY NEAR DEATH
IN HOSPITAL FROM
AUTO INJURIES
Chubby Little Harold Hansen, of
Orange, Run Down in
Street.

Chubby little 6-year-old Harold Han
Memorial Hospital as the result of in
juries received yesterday afternoon by
being struck by an automobile. He
has a bare chance of recovery.
The little fellow left his home at 1C
Henry street, Orange, and wandered to
Centre street, where it is said he was
playing in the street when the auto be-
longing to Irving Smith, of 119 Glen
wood avenue, East Orange, driven by
his chauffeur. Frederick Morris, came
along.
The hood of the big car struck the
little fellow on the side and hurled him
into the gutter, fracturing his right
arm, and causing a deep cash on the
head that the doctors think may be a
fracture of the skull.
In the car at the time was Irving
Smith, jr., his sister, Miss Irma Smith,
Miss French and Sherwood Clarke. The
young people had the car stopped, and
the girls, holding the little unconscious
form in their arms, ordered the chauf-
feur to hurry to the hospital.
The little boys parents are frantic
with grief and left the hospital today
slightly cheered when the doctors told
them that the child had a fighting
chance.
Detective Sergeant John Drabell, OF
Orange, was at the hospital when the
boy was brought in Inc he placed the
chauffeur under arrest.

NAN HARR|SONS
LITTLE GIRL WILL
TELL OF TRAGEDY
Daughter of Slain Former East
Orange Society Girl on Way
to Grandparents.
WAITING SAD STORY OF
HOW MAMMA WAS KILLED
Child of Five in Her Arms When
Jealous Sutton Slew Woman,
Who Feared McCauSland.

Mrs. Nan Harrison, the former East
Oranbe belle and sweet-voiced choir
singer, lived in constant fear of her
suitor, Harry McCausland, at whose
hands she met death in a Reno, Me-
vada, concert hall, according to further
developments made known today.
Mrs. Harrison, who was the wife of
the wealthy John Byron Harrison. CT
70 Beech street, Bloomfield, was shot
and killed while holding her 5~-year-old
child in her arms by her jealous sutton.
full details of which were published ex-
clusively in yesterdays EVENING
STAR.
Mrs. Harrison, sr., with whom a son
of the slain woman lives, is PROSTATE.
my daughter spoke of McCausland's
insane jealousy when she was home
two months ago." said her father, John
e. Mitchell, of East Orange, today.
Although she never gave him cause
for his suspicious, she was often cen
sured by him for receiving attentions
from other men that a woman in her
profession could not avoid. She told
us that he was a splendid man with
this one exception, and that she trem-
bled to think of the consequences
should his rage be one wholly awak-
ened.
al recall now that she bade us good
by again and again, when she left us
with her child to go back to the West.
In the light of subsequent events, L can-
not but feel that perhaps she believed
the parting would be our last one."
The body of the dead singer was
buried today near the scene of her
tragic death in the Western mining
town. Elizabeth, her 5-year-old daugh-
ter, who lay clasped in her mothers
death embrace in the rude mining con-
cert hall, is now speeding back to the
home of which she and her mother so
often talked. A friend is bringing the
little girl back to her grandparents, Mr..
n Mrs. Mitchell, whom she left two
months ago..
Sorrows have crowded fast into the
life of little Elizabeth. She was just out
of short dresses when her parents sep
arated, three years go. Shortly after
ward her brother John, now 8 years
old, went to live with her father and
his parents. Although she often heard
her elders talk lovingly of her brother,
she seldom saw him. and the big baby
eyes lost part of their playfulness in
contemplating the sadness which had
come into her mothers life.
A year ago, when Mrs. Harrison an
swered the call of the West, little Eliza
beth was left behind, with a promise
that mother would soon return n take
her away to a place to be provided for
her. Ten months later, when Mrs. Har-
rison returned, serious thoughts had
left their impression on the baby face,
and Elizabeth was wise and grave far
beyond her years.
Now she is coming home to tell her
grandparents the only story they will
ever hear from a witness to their
daughters death.
