DOESN'TKNOW WHYSHESTOLE
So Says Girl Who Took Pin from
Companion.
Had Admired Fraternity Badge, and
When Opportunity Came Stole II.
COnfesses Her Guilt.

Admitting she had stolen a fraternity
pin Of small intrinsic value from a girl
friend. Mabel Dennis, eighteen years old.
last night told the police she did not
know what prompted her to commit the
theft. and declared she did not think
Il wrong when she took the pin.
I saw IL pinned 10 the coat hanging
on the hall rack, and stopped 20 look at
It. as I had adpired it Tor a long time
Then I removed it from the coat 10 look
at II more closely. Before 7 knew what
I had done I pinned II on the front
of my dress. 1 don't know why 1 did
not go back and restore II. I can't
understand myself"
II was in this way Miss Dennis ex-
planned the theft which caused her ar
rest on a charge of petit larceny. She ap-
peared nervous and greatly worried. but
bore UP under the questioning OF the po-
lice and maintained an outwardly calm
demeanor.
The girl was removed to the House Of
Detention, but was released shortly after
on 80 collateral. II is not likely she
will be prosecuted, as the complainant
seems 70 have forgiven her friend. and
there Is no one else to push the case.
Miss Bessie Davis, of 1873 Clifton street
northwest. reported to the police that a
fraternity pin had been removed from
her coat, which she had hung on a rack
IN the hallway Of her home. Detectives
BurIingame and Weldon investigated.
They were informed that Miss Dennis
would probably make an effort to obtain
a position in the Bureau OF Engraving
and> Printing. but they watched the Bu-
Teau building several hours without re-
suit. They went TO a boarding house at
1888 L street northwest, where Miss
Dennis roomed. and found her. She ap-
peared astonished at the action OF the
detectives. but accompanied them with
out complaint TO police headquarters.
She admitted the theft Nand turned the
pin over 10 the police.

Underground Wonder.

At Medina, Italy, is a large tract
in which, when the well-diggers got
sixty-three feet from the surface,
they came to bed OF chalk. Through
this they bored with an augur just
five feet. They then withdrew from
the pit before the augur was re.
moved and upon It's extraction the
water burst through the aperture
with great violence, and quickly
filled the newly made we'll, which
was afterwards affected neither by
rain nor drought. At another point,
at the depth of fourteen feet, were
found the ruins of an ancient city,
paved streets, houses. floors and diff
ferent pieces of mason work. Un-
der this was earth made of vegetable
matter, and at twenty-six feet large
trees entire, such as walnut trees
with the walnuts sticking to the
stems, and the leaves and branches
in perfect preservation. At twenty
eight feet chalk was found mixed
with shells. the bed being eleven feet
thick. Under this vegetables were
found again.

JUSTS SAY
NOTHING
Roosevelt Refuses to Say
Whether he Will Visit
Naples in March.

Washington, Frb- i6.-No conlirma-
ton could be obtained at the White
House today OF a report in Rome
that President and Mrs. Roosevelt
will arrive at Naples the end Of
March and remain in Italy eleven
days. The announcement is believed
to have originated i'm the fact that It
had been repeatedly reported that the
president would sail from New York
on the North German Lloyd steamer
Koenig Albert on March 13, which
vessel is due to arrive at Naples,
March 2G. Should he go on that
vessel he will have eleven days to
spend in Italy before the German
East Africa line steamer Admiral on
which he Is to travel from Naples tC
Mombasa, sails on April 8.
While it is believed that the presi-
dent may leave New York on the
Koenig Albert, al efforts to secure n
confirmation at the White House have
been unavailing.
1t has been explicitly denied that
Mrs. Roosevelt is to accompany the
president to Naples.

.SWARMS
OF TRAMPS
Hard Times Greatly In
crease the Numbers.
HUNDREDS ARE KILLED
Pennsylvania System Makes
Annual Report.
The Tramp Question Has Come
to be One of the Most Serious
with all Railroads.

Reports just compiled at the gener-
al offices of the Pennsylvania rail-
road show that during the year 1908
Gj7 trespassers were killed and 791
injured on the lines OF the Pennsyl-
vania system east and west of Pitts
burg. Hor 1907 reports showed S22
trespassers killed. During the past
two years on the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN 1,479 persons have thus lost
their lives.
These figures are pointed to by the
railroad officials as emphasizing the
recommendation in the recent annual
reports OF the state railroad com
missions of Pennsylvania and Indi-
ana that laws should be enacted pro-
vidng substantial punishment or
all persons who trespass upon the
private rights OF way of any steam
or electric railway.
Names NoCrea, president OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., has writ
ten a letter to Orlando f. Lewis, of
the Charity Organization society of
New York, stating that the railroad
has been unable to develop co-opera-
its lines "in prosecuting and convict
ing trespassers ana vagrants, the
number Of arrests having Increased to
such an extent that man city and
town authorities are unable at times
to take care of the trespassers SEN
fenced TO their penal institutions for
| confinement.
fIf we are to be at all successful
in our handling of the vagrancy prob
lem," says President McCrea, "it is
| essential that there be cooperation
between the town and county author
tiles and the public or private char
liable organizations. One Of the diff
Gculties our railway police force meet
with is that county authorities will
assert that a vagrant be permitted to
move from one county to another be-
fore being arrested. County author
! itios and their constituents object to
the expense entailed in the mainten-
ance of these people.
The extent of the trespassing abuse
is to be found not only in the figures
showing the number OF persons killed
or injured while trespassing, but al
so in the fact that during the year
l90S, according to the fures just COM
piled, 1850 persons We're arrested for
trespassing, 442 for vagrancy and 1O,-
asa for Illegal train riding on the
lines of the Pennsylvania system.
During the year 1907 the arrests
for these causes numbered 5y5SS.
The number Of offenders has vastly
increased during the last year, This
may have been due partly to the fact
that an increased number OF men
We're out of work, but this fact did
not relieve the railroad company
