AGE NO MARK OF DISCRETION.
New York Police Statistics Prove a
Most lamentable Fact.

A woman shoplifter who had passed
the Psalmist's allotted period and
who had long record of offenses be-
hind her, was sent to prison again the
other day and in the printed accounts
much was made of her years, as IL age
and misdemeanor were strangers. AS
matter of fact, among women, youth
and disdemeanor are strangers il, we
make the test of the matter the fact
of falling into the laws clutches.
More than half the women offenders
of New York are classified in the re-
port of the state prison commission
as "middle-aged or elderly women"
or the 6,644 women sentenced to the
Blackwell's Island workhouse during
the last year, 3.463 were more than
80 years old. About one in Is of the
number were legal minors. Disorder
ly conduct and public intoxication ac-
counted for all but a few hundreds of
the entire number
There is really no surprise in these
figures, for the spectacle of gray hairs
without honor is not unfamiliar in any
OF our small parks. II would be SUI
perfiuous to point the moral-and
Horace has done it already in his
warnings to Lalage and Chloe.

VERY EVIDENTLY HIS FIRST ONE.
Young Man Was Proud Parent, and
Didn't Care Who Knew IL.

There was no booth in the corner
drug store. The young man at the tele-
phone therefore could be heard by all
the customers who ranged about the
soda water fountain. His face beamed
as he talked.
Everything is all right" he was
saying.
Ma am?
"Yes'm. Eleven pounds. Beautiful
boy. Like me, they say,
"Ma'am?
"Yes'm. Resting quietly. Would
have sent for you, but thought it best
not to. Didn't want to worry you.
"Ma'am?
"Yes'm. I'll attend to all that.
"Ma'am?
"Yes'm I'll tell her you're coming
down right away. Beautiful boy.
"Ma'am?
"Yes'm. Eleven pounds and looks
just like me-"
He rang off and walked proudly out
OF the drug store apparently oblivious
to the smiling countenances of his
interested listeners ranged around the
soda fountain.

RECEIVERS REAL STONES,
Unknown Woman Returns Diamonds
Stolen from George A Bloss by
Alfred Held

OSHKOSH. Wis, May 1S.-[spe-
cial. Chief of Police Bowling TODAY
received ieJUer from an unknown wom-
an, who signed herself, An Outcast
Girl in which were enclosed two dia-
monds which the writer said were the
property of George A Bloss, a travelling
salesman, whose grips were stolen from
the depot here some time ago by Alfred
Held.
At the time of the theft Bloss stated
that there were two small diamonds in
the grip that was stolen When Held
was arrested charged with the theft the
diamonds were recovered, but were pro-
nounced not genuine by a jeweler. In
the letter to Chief Bowling today the
unknown girl stated that Held had told
her that he had removed the genuine
diamonds from their settings and re-
placed them with paste stones so that
if he were caught the sentence passed
upon him by the court would be lessened
by reason of the low value of the goods
taken.
The girl stated in her letter that when
Held felt that he was being watched By
the police that he gave the genuine
stones to her. Held was sentenced to
one year at Waupun.

LOWER UNIVERSITY STANDARDS

BARS USE OF CARNEGIE FUND.-
Institutions Must Maintain Certain Re-
quirements to Enjoy Privileges
of Endowment.
WISCONSIN NOW ON ELIGIBLE LIST.

. MADISON, Wis, May Isl Special
One of the most earnest controversies
Of the latter days of the legislative SEES
sion will be over the Wehrwein bill, No
I2OA, which proposes to remove from the
university authorities the determination
of the qualifications of applicants for ad-
mission to that institution and place it in
the hands OF the state superintendent.
The Dill is now being considered by the
Senate committee on education and may
come back to the Senate the latter part
of this week.
A point which seems to be appealing
strongly to the members of the Senate
committee on education and which was
apparently overlooked in the Assembly
consideration of the measure, is the fact
that the enactment of such a law would
render it impossible for the University of
Wisconsin to participate in the many
benefits of the $15,OOO,OO0 Carnegie foun-
dation for the Improvement of teaching.
Among these benefits i'll the establishing
0t professors OF ripe age and many years
OF experience to devote themselves to re-
search work and not be confined to teach
ing. This is to be accomplished by q
system of payments from this fund to
such professors as have held professional
chairs for twenty-five years or have
reached the age of So.
Only universities of certain standard
are eligible, and the University of Wis
coEsin has been and is now of such
standard as to be within the require
ments, but it has been ascertained that
this university would not be within the
requirements were the WehrWein bill to
be enacted into law

TO RAISE SWISS GOATS,

Tested for Milk Production at
University of Wisconsin.

MADISON, Wis. May 17.-[Special. ]
The commercial possibilities as milk
producers of imported Swiss mich goats
is now being tested at the University of
Wisconsin college of agriculture. As
these goats are noted for their large milk
production and are practically immune
from tuberculosis, the Importance of the
test is evident.
A herd of five imported Swiss mich
goats of the famous Schwartzenburg- Gug-
gesberger breed has just been leased to
the station by Ernest Gozenbach, She
boygan, for these cooperative tests on
the breeding and rearing of mich goats
to determine their usefulness, economy
Of milk production, and the relation to
other classes of live stock
Ii is believed that this is the first time
a scientific test of their usefulness has
been attempted in this country, as there
are comparatively few of these goats in
the United States. The work will be
carried on under the direction of Prof
q. G. Humphrey, head of the animal hus-
bandry department., who will be assisted

DAHL ANSWERS SENATE
State Treasurer Explains Status of In
surance Companies Which Have
Withdrawn from State.
MADISON. Wis, May Special.

MADISON, Wis, May 49, Special |
State Treasurer A. II. Dahl sent let
ter to the Senate this morning in re-
spOnse to the resolution passed last week
as to how he could account for approx
mately 500, 934-96 alleged to be due the
state from fifteen withdrawing life insur-
ance companies, saying that the attor-
ney general is now maintaining actions to
effect the collection.
Mr.. Dahl points out that the state
ment of amounts due by the companies
must be based upon signed statements
furnished by the companies. Three COM
panies have filed statements and paid
taxes. The treasurer then names ten
other companies that have withdrawn
from the state and filed statements, but
have refused to pay taxes. Then Mr.
DAM gives list of the companies which
have filed no statements with the com
missioner of insurance.
The letter to the Senate SAYS that the
attorney general is now maintaining an
action against the Columbian National
Lire insurance company, one of the with
drawing companies, to compel it to file
its statement. The case is now pending
before the supreme court on an appeal.
The attorney general has advised
that questions are involved in the pend
ing action which will affect actions for
the collection of any taxes or fees
claimed to be due from the withdrawing
companies and that no further action be
brought pending the final decision of the
above mentioned case" says the letter
The resolution adopted by your honor
