WHAT CAUSES CRIME

THE willy purveyor to the whims and humors of the times, Minister
WI Ting Fang, originally of China, but at present Of all creation, says
that meat causes crime. The Governor Of New York State is assured
that It II horse racing that makes the trouble. Another prominent Off
chl will have 1t that Demon Rum is the author and fnisher of most
improced brands of crime. DR. Parkhurst places crime upon a feminine
foundation, and Commodore Gerry finds youth full Of opportunity.
Anthony Comstock holds all nature as a crime, and human naturea S
the crmest crime Of the lot. Every man to his own choice, although &
appears that Minister WI, with his simple dechratve, meat, is perhaps
nearer the fundamentally Of crime in the abstract than any of the
American specialists. Meat may cause crime. But it is lamentaby on
record that the lack of meat causes crime also. Not a great deal Of
crime is committed on a full stoma Oh, and when prices Ire high, pros
perty Is low, soup kitchens are plentiful and honest work scarce, W e
usually enjoy what the pseudotherapeutic psychologists call a "cnme
wave" Personally, we incline to the opinion that, more than anything
else. opportunity causes crime.

On Wednesday evening last, at the
home of the groom's parents, Bert Hily-
gus and Miss May Carpenter spoke the
words that made them man and wife.
The Rev. DR.. Beatty performed the cere-
mony. Jess Hilygus acted as grooms-
man while Miss Evelyn Lancaster was
bridesmaid.
Last weeks Times reported the mar
riage of Mr.. Hilygus and Miss Carpen-
ter as having taken place in Reno on
Tuesday evening, January II. This pa
per was in error on that score, due to
transformation However, we were not
mistaken when we paid both parties the
compliments their worth deserves. That
part of our former story still goes, with
the addition that we would feel right
proud if the Times article fastened the
happy event.

UNIFORM Of NAVY IS BARRED
Sailors From Presidents Yacht RefuseS
Admission to Pavilion at
Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 1.-Several sail
ors from the presidents yacht Sylph,
which Is stationed here under Lieut..
Roger Williams for the presidents
use during his vacation, were refused
admittance to a dancing pavilion in
the village Saturday night. The pa
vilion is attached to the Innside inn,
Oyster Bays only seashore hotel, and
is open to the public. Saturday night
was n of the first nights the pavil.
ION was open, it being a new place.
The announcement of the opening had
been advertised about the village by
posters, and every one was invited.
There were a large number of per-
sons dancing in the pavilion when the
sailors from the Sylph, in uniform, ap.
peared. They made an attempt to 20
on the floor, but were prevented from
doing so by an attendant stationed at
the pavilion entrance. A long argu-
ment followed, the sailors claiming
that the uniform of the United States
navy should not bar them from any
place.
The men of the presidents yacht
are all picked men, and no trouble has
been experienced from them any
where in the village this summer.

1t is impossible to estimate accu-

may reach thirty-ive or forty before

have been found buried under the silt.
The hotel, in which five travelling
men were stopping. was washed away
and they were drowned. The proprie-
tor, George Wenger, also is drowned
and his body has not been recovered.
Completely Blotted Out.
The town is completely blotted out

were carried away, and where stood a
thriving mining camp now only re-

rushed from New Mexico and South
ern Colorado. The railroad tracks are
washed out for three miles and trains
are only going within eight miles of
the stricken camp.
The ~cloudburSt occurred at 10
o'clock last night and those citizens
who were awake on the streets es-
capped, while those who had retired
were mostly caught asleep without
warning.
Rushes Into Creek.
The water rushed into Cimmarron
creek and spread, sweeping a clean
path through the center OF the town.
The Cimmarron creek, which carried
the flood is ordinarily a small trick
ling stream. Its capacity was INSULT
Gent to hold the rush of water.
There were many marvlous es-
capes and forty people were rescued
after the flood had passed the camp.
Last night bodies were being found
as far as fifteen miles away, and loco
motive headlights, loaned by the Santa
Fe railroad, are being used in the
search.
The wires were down for ten hours
following the flood, and a Southern
Pacific train was marooned with l25
passengers and no food. 1t was reach
ed late in the afternoon and brought
to Trinidad.
Ration, N. NJ, also suffered a severe
loss. Many homes were washed away
and several hundreds Mexicans spent

Saves Her Life.

Chicago, Sept. l. - A frantic strug'
gle, with the life Of a young girl at
stake, took place at the top of the
Auditorium tower Saturday afternoon
when j. E. Shilling, ifty-two years
old, attempted to throw his twenty.
one-year-old daughter from the top OF
the lofty structure. Excited men, ap-
palled at the attempt, fought desper-
ately with the crazed man and finally
won the battle for the girls life,
Shilling had recently been released
from the Kankakee insane asylum,
and his condition since he left the in
%stitution was such that his relatives
intended to return him to the place
in a few days.
Maniac SEXES Girl.
Saturday morning he pleaded with
relatives to be allowed to go to Chi

daughter he left the suburb where he
resides with her.
They walked about down town for
some time and finally found them
selves near the Auditorium.

city again, for l may not have an
other chance"
The girl consented and they took
the elevator, which shoots up to the
lofty observatory. Together they
walked around for a time. Then the
father and the girl stood still, their
eyes fixed on the lake. Suddenly he
seized the daughter about the waist
and raised her above his head to hurl
her over the balustrade surrounding
the platform on which they were
standing. She grasped the railing
and screamed for help.

insane man gave a yell of rage and
sprang at Richardson, who did not
give up his grasp of the girl.
Richardson was obliged to fight like
a demon. The crazed mans fingers
sought his throat, and the startled
man almost choked before assistance
came. Detectives who had been sum-
moned overpowered the ~lunatic,
placed him in a patrol wagon and
took him to the police station.
