fession said he was from Ogden, is the
negro under arrest.
Other ~burglaries he has committed here

fore the thief was known to the detectives,
the goods, including a woman's gold watch
with a long silk guard. a pair of shoes
and a baby's ring. had been recovered by
Detectives Murphy and Ring, who also
made the arrest.
Mrs. church's watch was sold to a
man who suspected It was stolen property
ana notifled the police. Nelson's arrest
followed, and the silk guard, which had
been attached 10 the timepiece. was found
around his neck. He then confessed to
the Church case and admitted doing sew
eral other Jobs. He said he used a skele-
ton key, which was the way the Miller
home was entered.
The biggest Of Saturdays five bur
slaries was at the grocery store of o. J..

dow and then pried his way into the place
About &3 in silver was taken.

other OF the places visited by the light

While the family was away and the
front door was closed but not locked, Sat
urday' evening, the home of Mrs. A. De-
laney, 2SS0 South Fifteenth street, was
looked over by a thief. He satisfied his
longing to possess other peoples things by
taking IS in money, a gold watch and a

A fact impressive in itself was re-
stated, in a manner which manifold
ly increased it's impressiveness, by
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Norton in an address before the Bos-
ton Commercial Club on Thursday.
His discourse was on waste in the adj
ministration of American municipal
finances. The expenditures of our
cities have become SO colossal that
even a small percentage of extrava-
gance or waste means a huge annual
loss. tine annual administrative
waste in our municipalities" said
Mr.. Norton, lis equivalent to the loss
of the entire oat crop every year;
Boston's waste represents a Chelsea
fire once a year, and the loss to the
community is approximately what it
would be if the fisheries of New Eng
land suddenly ceased to produce.
vnlcago's annual waste represents a
sum greater than the annual ex-
which in thirty-fye years
reconstructed Paris under the Hauss-
mann plan" If we were to lose hall
a corr or cotton crop in an. year
the effect would be felt in every al
ket Of the world; does anybody i'm
agine that the riot of municipal ex-
travagance can go or and the people
not feel the pinch? Indeed, as Mr..
declares, economy is a vital
need. at is not a matter of policy;
it has become a matter of national
self-preservation.'

POODLE DOG HIS UNDOING.
WCman's Pet Leads to Tracing of
Man Who Gave Worthless
Check.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. S.-James P.
Thomas, o of a wealthy manufac-
turer of Bay City, Mich, who was
locked up here today OF a charge
of swindling, owes his undoing to L
poodle dog and a pen flourish. The
dog, carried by Mrs. Bess Chatfield,
of Seattle, Wash, enabled a hotel
clerk to trace Thomas and the wo-
man to Kansas City. The flourish,
made by Thomas on a Kansas City
hotel register, led to his arrest.
Thomas came to the Southern
hotel here October Is, accompanied
by the woman. James Osborne, a
clerk, cashed a check for Thomas,
who left before it came back protest.
ed. Osborne traced the man and
woman to Kansas City by making
inquiries about the poodle. At the
latter city he could find no trace Of
the dog, but a peculiar flourish with
which Thomas ended his signature
on hotel registers gave the final clew
at the Gladstone hotel.
Thomas and Mrs. Chatfield were
arrested, but the woman was releas-
ed, while Thomas was brought back
to st. Louis. Thomas says he did
not know that his balance at the
bank was exhausted.

ARCTIC CUT OFF ROMANCE.
Prof. Marvin Lost Through Ice Was
Soon to Have Wed.

NEW YORK, Nov. At the
world of the tragic fate of Professor
Ross G. Marvin no mention was
made of the fact that the young
scientists had planned to marry the
woman he loved on his return from
the Arctic. Mrs. M. J. Marvin, of
Elmira, N. Y, the bereaved mother,
objected to his choice, and as he
refrained from limiting at the ro-
nance, she has not communicated
with her sons fiancee. The girl is
Miss Margaret Marshall, of Edge
water, N. j., daughter of James Mar
shall, employed in a chemical plant
in that town.
Because of the hostility of the
Marvin family the parents of Miss
Marshall think it should be known
that their daughter was betrothed to
Professor Marvin, and Mrs. Marshall
today told the story. Marvin first
met Margaret Marshall in Elmira,
when he was a cadet on the school
ship st. Mary. He had shown ex-
ceptional aptitude for mathematics
and science, and her interest in those
subjects drew them together. In the
years that followed they were faith
full correspondents, though they
could meet but seldom. Mrs. Marvin
had planned a brilliant marriage for
her son, and when he first limited to
her of his love for the pretty and
talented girl whose people were mo
bodies" the proud mother said she
never would sanction such a match.
Ross was not swayed by his mother,
and his love for Margaret remained
steadfast, and they were to have
married on his rteurn.
