If the stories told are true. the careers
of other new policemen have been even
more picturesque than the chicken fancer.
Another thing which is criticised is the
/ freedom with which the new men use
their revolvers. One of them has achieved
such celebrity for pistol firing that per-
sons upon his beat dare not move with
haste in performing an errand through
| fear of creating in his mind the suspicion
that they are criminals and fit targets for
bullets.
This man has used his revolver A num-
Der of times and an anxious watch is kept
upon his movements.
A story is told of a truckman who was
wheeling a load of goods on the platform
OF a warehouse at night His foreman
shouted for him TO make haste, as the
hour was late.
Come a-running." shouted the foreman.

Where did Chief Pitt find 'em?'
This question has often been asked since
the appearance on the police force of the
new men recently appointed by Chief Pitt,
after the city council had authorized a
temporary increase in the number of po-
icemen.
The veterans of the force are nearly all
men of strength and fine physical pro-
portions. They indicate that in choosing
them considerable discrimination was
shown While some of the new men are
up TO the requirements for effective pO-
lice service others are notably lacking.
That the men were selected at random
and with little investigation into their fit
ness is indicated by the histories of some
of them viii n are currently related.
Two of the new men are said to have
been 'swampers" in saloons before their
elevation to posts as guardians of the
citys peace.
One man, before assuming the badge of
authority, is said to have achieved dis
tinction in a small town near Salt Lake
because of his fOndness for poultry. 1t is
alleged that his neighbOrs kept their hen
houses locked during his sojOurn with
them, but that despite this precautiOn
there were numerous strange disappear
ances of fat fowls. These mysterious af-
fairs. il is said. were partly cleared up by
the discovery of several heads and plucked
feathers about the kitchen door of the
poultry fancier

ACQUITTAL NOT PROBABLE
Court Martial of General Stoessel for
Surrendering Port Arthur
Nearing the End.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 15.-The trial by
court-martial of Lieutenant General
Stoessel for his surrender of the Port
Arthur fortress to the japanese is
nearing its end, and a verdict is ex-
pected early next week. Today Dep
uty Syrtlanoff, General Stoessels at
torney, intimated to the Associated
Press that he had little hope of acquit-
tai on the main charge of Surrendering
the fortress.
NJ. Syrtlanolf hopes, however. that
his client will be freed from blame for
the evacuation of several of the minor
Russian positions, as well as for super
seding General SmyrnOff.
One of the most damaging points
against General StOesse1 is that there
was a considerable amount of shells
on hand when the fortress surrendered.
The general contends that he was kept
in the dark regarding the existence of
this ammunition by General Belly,
chief of the artillery, who had a veri-
table passion for the boarding of shot
and shell.
Several witnesses have testified to
the impossibility of getting from the
a sufficient number of shells
to make the artillery effective. They
said it was their custom to send gun
ners every night to other batteries to

way TO obtain il is to commence win
the children.
An immense stride was taken in this
direction when the juvenile court law
was placed on the statutes OF our
state. The next step was when the de-
tention home was started. and far and
near grew the reputation of our state
for taking these advanced steps IN the
interests of her children; and those
here at home interested in children
took heart and gladly shouldered the
burden again, feeling that now justice
could be obtained for these little ones
"sinned against" and that by their pc
ing placed under influences that should
exist in detention home, they would
be given another chance.
Then something happened. which Sc
riously crippled the efficiency OF the
Juvenile court and brought the good
work for children practically TO a
standstiu. and there it will remain I'M
less the present mayor, city council
and county commissioners restore to
the court that most important adjunct

This something political or other

Householder first showed signs of
insanity. She was looking for a house

brick cottage which suited her, asked
the price, which was $4,000. The agent
inquired where the money to make the
purchase TO come from, and she is
said to have replied:
''Oh, the Lord viii take care of that
part of the transaction"
After leaving Waterloo the family
