REMOVED FROM AUTO
ZEAL OF DEPUTY CONSTABLE
CAUSES CRITICISM
Petty Official Insists on Strict AppIi-
cation of New Statute Relative to
Dissertation of United
States Flag

The zeal of a deputy constable in
observe the strict letter of the law re-
garding the dissertation of the United
States flag is causing a great deal OF
criticism in Elk circles, apparently
justifiable, especially at the present
time, when all Los Angeles is doing its
utmost to prepare for and spread the
news of the national gathering in July.
The officer halted an automobile yes
terday and compelled the owner to re-
move the banner selected as the en-
blem for the convention, at the same
time giving the occupant warning that
another display of the emblem might
result in his arrest.
The banner contains two crossed flags
in one corner, on which there is no in
scription. and is used by the Elks in
their ritualistic program, and never for
commercial or advertising purposes.
For this reason, it is said by attorneys,
its use can hardly come under the pro-
hibiting statute, and forbidding its dis
play can only be regarded as the
stretching of a technieality.
The law was passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature.

SMALL BOY AND GIRL
EL0PE IN THE RAIN
Found Weeping and Famished, but
Still! Inseparable, After Long
Search

NTW YORK, June 1S.-"Lets wun
away and 'lope,' suggested 31s-year-
old George Eidlitz yesterday morning
to his affinity of baby carriage days,
Bessie Flynn, also S1a years old.
"All wight" replied the very willing
Bessie. Where thall we wun to?"
Wen go and stay with the fairy
ting and tween" replied the reliant
George. and SO they started forth
from Bessie's back yard.
The Lothario of this tale is the son
of Paul Eidlitz, an automobile agent,
who lives at One Hundred and Sixty
seventh street and River avenue, in the
Bronx. Bessie is the daughter of Will
liam Flynn, a plumbing contractor
who lives half a block away.
Ever since their baby carriages were
wheeled side by side Bessie and George
have been inseparable.
Yesterday morning George went over
early to Bessie's house and the two
children played together in the back
yard. At noon Mrs. Flynn went out to
call them, but they had gone. Be-
coming alarmed, the police of the Nor
risania and fremont avenue stations
were notified and about 100 neighbors
enlisted in the search.
About 9 o'clock last night John j
Flynn, Bessies grandfather, was re-
turning from the Morrisania station
when he saw two very wet and woe
begone little figures sitting by the
roadside weeping in each others arms
Where the children haa hidden them
selves is a mystery which they were
too tired and hungry to tell Both chill
dren were nearly exhausted, but before
George was carried off to bed he had
spirit enough left to say: Don't 'ou
care, Bethie, I'm DOWN to build a
airthip, an well lope again thum

STOLE AT COMMAND
OF FATHER, SHE SAYS
Little Girl Caught In Mrs. H. S. Shows
House Tells of Many Robberies
In Brooklyn

NEW YORK, June 1S.-A girl in short
dresses was found hiding in a bedroom
when Mrs. Henry Sanger Snow re-
turned to her home, 122 Joralemon
street, Brooklyn, from a shopping trip
The young stranger, weeping. said
she had run into Mrs. Shows house to
escape a bad man who had tried to
kidnap her. She found the basement
door open, she said, and kept on going
until she selected the bedroom as a safe
place.
Mrs. Snow hugged the child, told her
not to weep and started to lead her
from the house to put her on a car and
send her home. But she saw a stick
pin peeping out from the girls waist
1t looked familiar. Mrs. Snow pulled
1t out. 1t was a $3.50 pin her husband
had given to her.
Amid fresh torrent of tears, Mrs
Shows visitor confessed then that she
had come to the house to rob it. AS
she walled a pocketbook, fat with
money, tumbled from her frock to the
floor
Il stole that, too," whimpered the
child, "but l didn't get it here"
A detective was called and the girl,
who gave her name as Teresa Barrett,
10 years old, of 1906 Sixty sixth street,
Brooklyn, was taken to State street
headquarters. There two more stick
pins were found on her. Teresa wept
again and said she had been sent out
to steal and had turned over the booty
of several robberies to her father, who
had pawned it. Detectives arrested
Barretti last night and say they found
pawn tickets in his pockets. The girl
was sent to the Children's society
rooms.

Bennett was at all times ready to give
himself UP after the investigation was
begun and that he did not cremate the

criminal always works, and besides,

Justice Ling, in rendering his de-
cision, congratulated the attorneys on
both sides on the manner in which
the case was conducted. TT is better

discharge him more or less reflection

He refused to admit Bennett to ball.
stating that it was a matter on which
the superior court should act, and Ben
nett was ordered committed to the
county Jail to await trial.
1t was stated later by Attorney
Drake that as soon as he received the
transcript of 'the testimony taken at
the hearing he would begin habeas
corpus proceedings in an effort to OBJ
tain the release of Bennett pending his
trial.

SEATTLE HOTEL MAN MAKES
THINGS HUM IN H0TELIC ROW

SEATTLE, June 1S.-Carleton Gilbert,
at one time trusted lieutenant of Milo
NJ. Potter of the Potter hotel at Santa
Barbara, and before the fire manager
of the fashionable Hotel Sequoia, San
Francisco, is raising clouds of dust
along that part of the Hotelic Highway
on which is located Seattle and the But
Ter Annex hotels. Mr. Gilbert's first
venture in this city was the Stetson,
family hotel on the first hill. He made
a success of that house during extreme
ly dull times, and Immediately aeter the
sale of the Stetson was secured by the
Empire Hotel company, operating the
Butler Annex, to manage that mouse,
and assumed his duties about four
months ago. When Mr.. Gilbert TOOK
charge of this hotel about fifty or sixty
persons were being fed in the dining
room each day; last Sunday 700 meals
were served and the office at 10 a. m.
was lined with would-be guests, waiting
for rooms which it was expected would
be available later in the day.
Mr.. Gilbert is one of the most thor
ough hotel men in the business. He
has made it study and regards II as a
profession, and while his success may
seem phenomenal, it is really the math-
ematical answer always obtained from
a correct Interpretation of fixed laws
and rules. During the four months
thta Mr.. Gilbert has been maneger or
the Annex, Improvements have been
made to the amount of $6OOO The
house has been renovated from top to
bottom, every carpet has been taken up,
rooms tinted and new furniture in
stalled. New linen and silverware have
been purchased. A new electric elevator
will soon be a feature, as the old one
does not develop sufficient speed to
handle the crowds. Several thousand
dollars will be spent in fitting up new
bar and barber shop, and the partition
now separating the parlor from the
lobby will be removed so that parties
may sit in that elevated portion of the
hotel and look down upon the busy
scene in the Office.
The Annex is one of the largest
houses in Seattle, containing 250 rooms;
during the exposition it will undoubt-
edly be a big money maker, and 1t is to
be hoped that the popular and pains
taking manager will receive his due
share of credit from the owners for the
part which he has taken in popularizing
this hotel.

This is no criticism of the policy, pro-
vided there are good reasons behind

the feeling that is very general among
the players and those of us who sit
in the stands, one of whom knows the
reason. All can be easily remedied,
and we feel sure these matters will be.
With every player determined to do his

PRINCETON, Oct. IL.

COMMENTING on the showing made
" by the Princeton football team in
the games last week with Villa
Nova and Fordham, the Daily Prince
tonian, the official organ of the stu
dents n faculty of Princeton Uni
versity, came out today In sharp
criticism of the coaching system in its
editorial columns, and in the news col
umns makes an unfavorable report of
the games with Fordham Saturday.
The Princtonian says, referring to the
Villa Nova and Fordham games:
Doubtless many of the faults will
disappear in the next two weeks. and
while not satisfied with the playing of
the team. in either game. the under.
graduates are still optimistic. The
coaches, however, nave expressed their
dissatisfaction with the players. but
the opinion current among the stu
dents is that the training and attitude
Of the coaches are largely to blame.
The dearest asset of the team Is good
physical condition. Last year a very
general complaint was made because
the men were In poor condition. The
long succession Of accidents was called
hard luck by some, but by a much
larger number was attributed to poor
Judgment in using injured players.
This same complaint is arising again.

Saturday when he had to leave the
game after the third play? Reads
previous playing indicates, to- many
that he is the type that, if pushed hare
early in the season, is more than likely
to fall away at the end. Captain Sieg-
ing, like Read, is coming in for a great
deal of hard work now, and Hart, up u
Saturday. had not been spared much.

and followers of the team to thinking
on a problem that is rapidly becoming
acute, and it is thought that the crisis

decided turn for the better,
