BARNEY G0LDFARB
PROVES IN COURT
He HAS BRAINS
Takes Pane of Glass from Empty
House to Fix Window z
in His.

Barney. Goddard, of lie Broofpe
street, is only IA old, but he has
business ability far beyond his years.
He was cited to the Fourth Precinct
Police Court today by his fathers land
lord. Ferdinand Bernstein, a justice of
the peace, of 8 Barclay street, to OK
plain why he had replaced a window
he had broken i'll the Goddard house
with a pam of glass taken from the
house e door, which is. also owned
by Bernstein. Little Barney. would
have gotten away with his little trick
if some cruel person had not informed
the landlord.
The boy impatiently waited his turn
to tell his story to the court, while the
landlord described him in harsh. terms
to Judge Herr. The smile of the genial
judge, however, indicated that he was
to be lenient and he encouraged
the lad to be frank.
You see, Mr.. Judge, the window was
said Barney, land Mr.. Bornstein's
house next door was empty. I.never
believe in letting anything useful go to
waste. That's the reason ] used the
pane of glass from the window that
wasn't working"
This brought a smile to the land
lords face and in view of the trouble
the lad had making the pane fit the
new sash. bernstein agreed to cali

ALLEGED PAUPER
INSANE MULCT|NG
STATE, IS CHARGE
Crimes Commission Secretary
Makes Allegations in Letter
to A~ssemblyman.

Secretary Ransom, of the Crimes and
Dependencies Commission, hal written
the following letter to Representative
H. Stacey Smith:
I'm seeking methods of reducing State
expenditures l would respectfully sug-
gest that your committee examine the
records of the Dependency and Crimes
Commission in regard to the care of
lunatics in the county asylums. The in
vestigation by the commission in Hud-
son county showed a state of affairs
which the Legislature should consider.
An exhaustive inquiry into the ability
of relatives of patients incarcerated ia
the Hudson County Insane Asylunl-as
pauper patients to pay for their care
resulted. in the discovery that in at
least thirty instances patients are in
nowise paupers within the intent and
meaning of the statute, and should not
be public charges. !
For each pauper patient in the Hud-
son County Insane Asylum the State
pay 81 a week for maintenance and the
county thet difference in cost. This
mounts to $104 a yea which the State
pays for Zach patient, and thirty times
$104 paid for those who have relatives
who should be caring for them amounts
to $3.50 q year, which the State could
save. !,
Il believe that it is properly the duty
Of the commissioner Of charities and
corrections to see that the State Is not
Rlulcted in this manner. but our investi-
cation disclosed no action on his part to
stop this abuse. The ability of relatives
to pay is set forth In a separate state
ment of2each case. / will cite but one
or two instances to illustrate:
IAN architect in Jersey City, who is
a.. large property-owner, who owns an
expensive automobile and who has re-
ceived from the city within two or three
years over So, 900 in fees, paid nothing
for the support of his mother, who was
ar inmate of the Hudson County
Asylum for eleven years, having been
committed as a pauper patient. This
woman alone cost the State in that time
S1,144, and the county as much more. I
believe that this amount could be re-
covered by the State In a suit at law.
"AEipublic official, earning $3.50 a
month. had his wife in the institution
for over two years as a pauper patient.
and the State paid 81 a week toward her
maintenance.
w disclosed "a cases of prop
erty-owners wac had sworn that their
relatives were paupers and had caused
them to be maintained at State and
county expense. Wives and parents of
politicians were found listed as pa3pers.
THE commission in the limited time
at its disposal was not able to conduct
ax similar investigation in all other in
stitutions supported by the State, but
do not doubt that such investigation
would disclose like conditions. and that
many thousands of dollars could be
saved by putting an effectuai stop to
this. form of grating"

Retailers Said to Be Taking Adj
e vantage of Meatless
Period.

With the start of Lent it is commonly
reported that retail egg dealers in all
parts of the country are making capital
of the time in trying to get a higher
price for eggs than the market war
rants.
The same conditions are said to exist
In this city as in all other parts of the
country. The Chicago butter and egg
board, in a statement issued today, de-
clared that the consumers should get
newly laid fresh eggs at ~ cents a
dozen. "a
One of the biggest commission houses
in this city today declared thai they
were getting % cents a dozen for fresh
eggs from the retailer. When appraised
of the statement of the Chicago board.
one of the members of the firm std:
I'VE know nothing of that. We are
getting as much for the eggs as we can.
We do not know. anything of the retail
trade prices" +
The statement of the Chicag go butter
and egg board is as follows:
The press committee of the Chicago
butter and G board wishes to an
nounce to the public that the price of
new-laid fresh eggs has declined I cents
in q week, so that the consumer should
buy the best eggs from retailers for 81
cents q dozen.'
Retailers. it is said, as a rule, loa ded
up with eggs before the present stump
started in and were caught with large
quantities unsold. Receipts have been
increasing for a week, and the market
has beer fairly glutted.

The company was finally induced to
go on the bond. which was for 50. 900.
The plaintiffs Unidentified the company
and after the government had finally
decided hat Pietro must be deported

Gated. and, according to the plaintiffs,

WORSE THAN HEARST.

The public will not acQuit Mr. Hearst of
surrender TO Tammany in 1906. On that ques-
ton its verdict has been rendered. But it will
hold that the surrender of Gaynor this year has
been more abject than Hearst's three years ago.
Hearst did not accept a nomination with any
such disgracefuI associates on the ticket as
Roesch Sullivan and Hagan. Hearst did not
ask for the election of his Tammany associates.
He did say, as he now reminds the public,
Murphy may be for me, but l am lot for
Murphy That was not very impressive dec
laration of independence and adherence to con-
victiOns from a man with an anti-Tammany
record. But IL was manly indeed compared to
anything Justice Gaynor has said Has he had
courage enough TO say, Il am not for Murphy?
Nothing like 1t. Instead, he goes about tryinS
to pretend that Murphy and Tammany are neg
ligible forces, whose support Of a candidate
throws no more light upon his character and
upon the kind of administration TO be expected
Of him than would, for example, the support of
Cassidy, of Queens "Tammany Hall, you
know" he says, sis the local organization in
Manhattan" Mr.. Murphy" he remarked yes
terday, carrying out the same pretence, Mr..
Murphy is said to be the leader of one of the
five bOroughs Of the city!
Hearst sank low enough in 1908, but not so
| low as that. He never tried to perpetrate any
such fraud that upon the intelligence of the
public. He never pretended that Murphy and
/ Tammany We're negligible or that he did not
know their power for evil He said, 81 am not

less courageous. only says. "Mr. Murphy is said
ito be the leader of one Of the five b0rOughs of

CHICAGO AND THE BIBLE.

The Biblical World" published at the Univer-

1t objects, and then arraigns the newspapers in

life and teachings of Jesus Christ are the high

application of the fundamental principles of mo-
