"The Mail Car Driver"

The mail car comes rafting up the
village, and, OH what a rattle,

whether it is owing to the shaking it
gets over the rough roads. or whether
in its construction it was made to rat

preach in the distance, and be ready

know. / can only youch for the fact,
that it ratified as never car ratified be-
fore. Here comes the contradickshun
in tarms," said Jim Scully to his COM
panions, as. taking his clay pipe from
his mouth, he pointed the shank of it
in the direction Of the mail car: "a

yeh haven't rheumaticks, ii will knock

it except wanst, an after it 1 cudn't
take a safe an anything else for two
months" The piercing notes of the
drivers bugle ring out, as the mail car
comes to q stanstill outside the rural
postoffice, and Felix Durkin, working
in his garden near by, hearing those
shrill bugle notes, suddenly lets his
spade drop in seeming establishment

That I had put away
Our memories of Paradise
Until the Judgment Day;
That nevermore the laughing earth
Should see us hand in hand,
That long since had shut the door
OF our old fairyland.
Then, OH a sudden, came strange news
Upon the gossip wind;
My love of those sweet years ago,
Great God-my love was blind
1 said the news must be a lie;
Cruel as are the yNars,
They could not be so merciless
To such great eyes as hers.
Oh, little child of long ago,
Gcd grant the news untrue
Except for one strong selfish thought,
That / may come to you.
And sit beside you in the dark,
And, as in Paradise,

Now bring to you my-eyes.

Albert A. Leavy Says Child
Was Spirited Away.
ECHO OF MARITAL TROUBLE
Declares Wife Responsible for Girls
Disappearance.
MOTHER SAID TO BE DESPERATE
Father Reports Matter to Justice
Barnard at City Hall-Receives
Telephone Message.

Albert A. Leavy the department clerk
whose marital troubles have been be-
fore the courts for the last three
months. today visited the city hall and
told Justice Barnard that he was i'm re-
ceipt of a message by long-distance
telephone that some time last night his
twelve year-old daughter had been spir-
tied away from Madison, Va, where she
had been residing.
Leavy declares his wife is responsible
for the disappearance of the girl. and
it is understood that Mrs May NJ. Leavy.
the mother. last week announced her
intention of making another effort to
see the child.
Counsel for Mrs. Leavy had not heard
this morning of the taking Of the child.
but described the mother as heartbroken
and desperate. Counsel said she was
much attached to the child and seemed
greatly depressed at the refusal of JUS
tice Barnard last Friday to take up the
habeaS corpus proceeding. by means OF
which she had hoped to secure possession
of her little girl. The court held that it
was without Jurisdiction. since the child
was not in the District and not in the
custody of the father.
Mrs. Leavy May - last flied a petition
for a limited divorce from Mr.. Leavy and
he answered with q cross-bill for an alb
sOlute divorce June g. Last week Mrs.
I.eavy instituted the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in which she claimed the child
was being detained against her will at
Madison. Va. and that the mother had
been refused admission to the house or
permission to see the child. She onered
letters from the child telling of the little
ones desire to see her mother.
Mr.. Leavy in his answer claimed that
his wife had him arrested for non-suppOrt
last spring. and at hearing in the Juve-
nile Court Judge DeLacy ordered him to
take the child to Virginia.

HEARTY WELCOME PROPOSED
MAYOR OF YOKOHAMA SPEAKS
OF COMING OF OUR FLEET.
Gives Facts Showing Why the City
Should Show Friendship to the
American Representatives.

TOXIC. July a0-In the course of an
address delivered at an informal meeting
Of the members of the Yokohama City
assembly,. Mayor Mitsuhashi dealt with
the forthcoming visit of the American
fleet i'm terms of conspicuous cordially.
Among ali the treaty powers holding re-
lations with Japan the United States, he
declared. held toward this nation unique
position. Referring to the American ap-
preparation of 81. 10000 for the purpose Of
the grand Japanese exposition of 1912, the
speaker said:
Such an enormous appropriation. sew
eral times larger than that originally pro-
posed, is no doubt due to the fact that
as it ever was. very friendly toward our
empire AS to the relations between the
United States and Yokohama. although
we'll known to you. l may refer to the
fact that the Shfmonoseki indemnity. to-
gether with interest thereon. so gener
ously returned to us by the United States.
formed the principal part of the expenses
of the first construction of Yokohama har-
Dor. only a small amount having been
added thereto by the government. With
regard to foreign trade between Japan
and America I do not consider 1t neces-
sary to give any statistics. Suffice ii to
say that our exports to America always
exceed our imports from them, and there
is every prospect that the export trade
will increase year by year. Regarding
this export trade ! may mention that it is
much larger from Yokohama than from
any of the other open ports.
I'm view of our international relations
with America and Yokohama's position in
the trade with that republic / think ii is
necessary that the city shall take all pos
sible steps as a host to extend as grand
and cordial a welcome to the American
fleet on it's arrival here as the circum-
stances may permit.

Although there has been no change IN

Revolution in Motive Power.
= rom, fhe Rrooklyn Eagle


Seven years ago prominent official OF
the Pennsylvania railroad. who has not
lived to see his prediction realized. said
that i'm ten years time a steam locomo-
tive east of the Mississippi would be
found only on the scrap heap. lie was
convinced that electricity would he the
motive power of the future. He then
believed il to be the -oiicy of railway
managers so TO conduct their affairs of
the present as to he able to meet the in
evits hle revolution
So far as the city of New York is
concerned. the prediction has been prac-
tically realized. The scream of the
whistle of a passenger steam LOCOMOTIVES
is a forgotten sound in Brooklyn. Pas
sengers are moved in and out OF the
borough and within il by electricity. III
there is a steam locomotive to be found
within the borough lines il will be dscov-

quently aiding in the construction OF
lines on which. when completed, only
the electric motor will move.
The same may he said Of Manhattan.
The last steam locomotive ran i'm and
out of the Grand Central station recent
ly. Except for hauling freight trains
over the 1lth and 18th avenues on the
West Side. no steam locomotives will be
known hereafter i'm Manhattan.
But the time is not far distant when
even freight trains will he moved by
electricity. This is i'm immediate con-
temptation on the Long Island railroad.
So near at hand is this contamination
that the railroad operatives regard the
line drawn through Jamaica as the one
which marks the difference between
steam and electric operation. And they
know that the extension of the electric
system beyond Jamaica is only a aues-
tion of time.

'THAW'S CREDITOR TROUBLES
EXAMINED IN PROCEEDINGS
BROUGHT BY WOMAN.
Seeks to Restrain Payment of Money
to DR.. Wilson in Case Latter
Obtains a Judgment.

POUGHKEEPSI', n. Y. August TO-
Harry X Thaw was taken from the Jail
on the third floor Of the courthouse to
the supervisors room on the second floor
this morning to be examined in proceed
ings instituted by Mrs. Ella Hayt of
Poughkeepsie, judgment creditor of DR..
John P. Wilson Of this city, who has sued
Thaw for $500 additional compensation
for testifying in his behalf. The purpose
Of Mrs Hayt's proceeding is to restrain
Thaw from paying DR.. Wilson any money
in case the latter obtains a judgment.
Lawyers here express the opinion that
Thaw's going into bankruptcy practically
disposes of the Wilson proceedings, but
the attorneys are proceeding with both
the Wilson and Hayt matters regardless
of the bankruptcy phase of the situation.
The Hayt matter deprived Thaw of a
trip to Fishkill Landing today. John
Schlosser, referee in the Wilson case, had
a hearing set for this morning. and as
Thaw was required to appear before
Holmes Vandewater. referee in the Hayt
matter. in this city, the Schlosser hearing
was adjourned to Friday. After Thaw
had been sworn an adjournment was TAX
en- to 11:3O to the office of Thaw's at
torney, Charles Mdfschauser. in a build
ing adjoining the courthouse.
In the meantime Mr.. Morschauser de-
sired to have Thaw taken to an oculist
to be fitted with spectacles. He has never
worn glasses. but now says that he feels
the need Of them, owing to the cOnfine-
ment and strain. In the absence of
Sheriff Chanler, Under Sheriff Townsend
was unwilling to take Thaw to an oculist
but after a conference with County Judge
Hasbrouck he decided that he would be
warranted in doing so. and the visit to
the oculist was set for pm.

DECISION NOT ANNOUNCED
SECRETARY WRIGHT REFUSES
TO DISCUSS CADETS CASE.
Says That He May Be Able to Do So
Tomorrow-View of the Judge
Advocate General.

Secretary Wright returned here this
morning from visit to Oyster Bay,
where he had conference with the Pres
ident and Col. Scott. superintendent of
the Military Academy. in regard to the
cases of the eight West Point cadets
convicted of haZing and sentenced to be
dismissed. 1t was generally expected that
the Secretary would be prepared today to
announce the action of the War Depart
ment i'm those cases as a result of his sec
ond conference with the President on the
subject, but that expectation was not full
filed To the newspaper men who ap-
Piled to him for information on the sub
iect this morning Secretary Wright said
that he was not ready to say anything
on the subject today. but might be apie
10 do so tomorrow or next day. He ad-
mitted that the action agreed upon Dy
the President and himself would be Off
cially communicated to the superlntend-
ent of the Military Academy for execu-
ton.
Although there is considerable specula-
ton i'm regard to the action finally agreed
upon i'm the cases of the alleged hazers,
until the official action of the War De-
partment is announced it will not be pos
tively known to the public whether the
boys. or any of them, are to be dismis seq
or whether they are simply to be punish
ed i'm some other way not involving their
separation from the Military Academy
AS further complicating the situation, IL
is said that the judge advocate general
of the army who was asked by Secre-
tary Wright for an opinion on the sub
ject, held that the character of the pun
ishment depended entirely on the nature
of the offense committed. In his opinion,
il the acts committed by the cadets con-
stituted ..hazing" within the meaning OF
the law the penalty was dismissal: but II
the acts were not really ''hazing. there
were other and lighter forms OF PUNISH
won't within the discretion of the authori-
ties. It is known that Secretary Wright
favored Ieniency in these cases, but
whether he was able to convince the Pres
ident of the wisdom of his views on the
subject will not be known untii 'he o'A-
ciaI action is announced.

Punitive Measures Opposed.

Naturally the American government is
interested in knowing what the Dutch
intend to do in Venezula, and i is not
surprising. therefore, that the Holland
government is sounding American Min
lister Beaupre at The Hague as to what
the United States might do in the vary
ing contingencies that are likely to
arise" No one at the State Department
is willing to say what the United States
has in mind or to admit that the ad-
ministratiOn has any precOnceived theo-
ries regarding its future course in deal
ing with Castro.
No definite action is looked for until
the former Netherlands minister to Cara
cas-. de Keus. arrives in Holland and has
had an opportunity to personally take up
his differences and those of Holland with
the ministry.
In the United States the Venezuelan at
titude is one of waiting and expectancy
Secretary Root left the entire matter with
Congress and that body failed to act AL
though the United States under certain
conditions may be open to consultation
regarding any prospective course in Vene-
zuela, it is not believed that any CO.
operative punitive measures with a for
eign country will be entertained, but on
the contrary. cooperation for a peaceful
settlement Of differences would be gladly
awaited Of
