Criminal Peers Wistfully Into
Windows Of House of Responsibility

Criminologists speak Of the brag-
CART vanity of the criminal 1t is true
OF erratlc offenders, perhaps. But Tie
thief will tell of the number of times
he has fooled the police merely by way
of self justification. He admits the
premise that he was fool ever to be-
come a criminal. and he recounts his
triumphs only to indicate to you that,
a. least, he is not an absolute idiot.
Also criminologist point out the
childish vanity Of the criminal who be-
decks his person with jewels when he
is prosperous. In this criminal Is no
yainer than his honest brother. But
jewels are about the only sort of prop
erty that he can safely possess, as
was the case with the Jews in the
old days when they were the driven
race. The criminal may not with any
safety become a bank depositor. and
he is usually too muca OF a spend
thrift to carry a roll OF cash; but he
finds that IL he Is farTested and can
show some handsome diamond orna-
ments and a valuable watch, he will
have no difficulty ia securing a good
lawyer and a bcndsman. aud will have
fighting chance for acquittai at his
trial.
But always. he Is understood, the

The Moon and the Potato Crop,


The moon has nothing to do with
the growth Of potatoes. says writer
in Success Magazine" This state
ment sounds about as self-evident as
a commencement Grafton. yet, accord
ing to a recent investigation by the
department of agriculture. seventy
Eve per cent of our farmers have been
planting potatoes and other crops ac-
cording to the almanac II is a very
general belief that potatoes planted
in the dark OF the moon produce the
best crop, while the full moon variety
are likely to run to tops"
II seems a bit absurd to suppose
that a respectable old moon like ours
could find nothing better to do then
TO stay up nights running the pOta-
to crop. So Uncle Sam. who has an
unquenchable curiosity in such mat
tiers. began poking into the moon
myth and discovered that Il deserved
respect only because Of its age. His
Agricultural Department workers
found that they could raise just as
poor potatoes in the dark OF the moon
as in the light.

her to forget it and not tell him any more.
She said that she went to Portland, Me-.
with Laird on n business trip and also
spent a week or ten days at Atlantic City
in the summers OF 1901 and 1902. She
called Laird Sandy and he used TO call
her -Sandsnap,' and all her shoes were
made in the Philadelphia factory on a
last specially made for her.
Miss Sinclair identified a paper which
purported to be a direction to his uaird's)
brother George to pay his $4,000 insur-
! ance policy to her. Letters In which she
WAS referred Il as my Darling Little
Wife were also read.
Miss Sinclair's examination had not
been concluded when court adjourned.

Big WILLIAM LITTLE KILLED
4 WE'LL KNOWN FIGURE AT THE
WEEHAWKEN ELEVATOR.

Former British Artiileryman Dies Of In
Juries Suffered while nj His Post
SO,ne Hints OF His Prowess while
lie Was Serving the Queen In India
Ex-Bombardier William Little. who
withstood the PUSHES OF Ghazis and
Dacoits in India during the nine years
that he served in the British Royal Artil-
lery. died yesterday forenoon at his
home. l2s Weehawken street. Jersey City.
OF injuries suffered on Friday last in an
accident at the foot Of the traffic elevator
that hauls vehicles up W~eehawken
heights.
The stalwart artilleryman. whose tower
ing figure and broad shoulders have be-
come well known to the users OF the
elevator during the last FIVE years. never
had much to say about his fighting days
in Burma and other parts Of the Fast,
but a young officer of the British army
who had heard Of Little's injuries and
called to see the ex-artilleryman just
before Little died said yesterday after
noon that some OF Little's feats OF
strength in hand to hand fights are still
traditions In the Royal Artillery. Little
served in the regiment commanded by
the young officers father more than a
quarter OF a century ago.
About Ave minutes before Little died
yesterday he reRained consciousness for
g few minutes and recognized the officer
standing by his bedside. He talked
for a few minutes and then grew d~elirious
again.
and he tried to smile AZ he added.
They're blowing the reyeille.' Then
AZ he grew delirious his mind ran back
to the days OF Capt. the Hon: st. John
Addington. under whom Little also

said, trying TO sit up in bed. THE boats
ready and Capt. Arlington wants me OF
parade, I'm to report myself
Little went to India with the artillery
when he was q stripping in his teens: On
one occasion, it is recalled. in a Black
Mountain expedition In India the artil-
lery was rushed by the 0ha.is and In the
rlsh the artillery mules that were feeding
near by were stampeded down 4 hill.
As the a%rtillerymen drove the Ghazis
back and upward tradition has 1t that
Little packed a screw gun on has massive
to the top of the hill. Also it is told Of
him thst In one hand to hand fight with a
Dacoit he thrust both arms under the
armpits OF the Dacoit ana then by reaching
his hands backward again pressed his
palms against the Dacoit s face and
pushed his adversary's head back and
down until the neck was broken.
The big artilleryman came to America
twenty five years ago. For the last five
years he has been working at the foot OF
the traffic elevator. On Friday the ele-
vator through a misunderstanding
started upward with a horse and carriage
Just as Little was stepping back on the
starting platform from the elevator.
He fell between the platform and the ele-
vator and received the many wounds
that caused his death.
Little was well known to residents
along the Jersey side Of the Hudson.
He Il survived by his wife and four
children.

STILL WATCH THE NANTICOkE.
Revenue Cutters Have Alleged Ftibuster
Peuned In the Blackwater River.

Peuned In the hiNer'
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The informa-
ton which has reached Washington now
appears to make it certain that the steam
boat Nanticoke and the tug Dispatch
Of Norfolk are engaged in a flibustering
movement in the interest OF ex-President
Castro. The Department OF Commerce
and Labor to-day cancelled the clearance
papers given to the two boats out OF Nor
folk and the revenue cutter Pamlico has
been instructed to overhaul and search
the boats.
A despatch received this morning from
Lieut.. Maher, commanding the Pamlico.
said that both boats were up the Black
water River. All available revenue cut
ters will be sent along this part OF the
Atlantic coast to intercept and search the
boats.
NORFOLK, Va. June 1.-THE steamer
Nantiooke remained idle in the Black
water at Franklin to-day, but it became
VI az soon as a certain mir, Fly. comes
TO join her. The tug is anchored below,
Franklin. Only two men were aboard
the Nanticoke to-day.
One Of the most suspicious things about
the Nanticoke is the great quantity, OF
coal which she has aboard. loading her
down to her marks, ,
A quantity OF freight has been shipped
to Franklin. consigned to the Nanticoke.
This was shipped >>rst from New DIRK to
st. Louis and from st. Louis to Franklin.
1t was boxed and billed as pianos.
Hates q Co. OF this citv. who have an
impersonal interest in the Nanticoke.
let it be understood yesterday that she
and the Despatch had been purchased by
a merchant of Maracaibo for towing and
freight carrying and that the idea. that
they were going to take munitN'ns OF war
! to Venezuela to help Castro get back
into power was absurd. There was an
intimation that information against the
two little stea mers was lodged with the
Government by a business enemy OF the
Arm. The sale Of the two boats was
genuine. Hates 4 Co.'S representative
said, and he felt certain that they had
nothing aboard that would cause the
| Government to hold them.
