POCKET PICKED IN DAYLIGHT.
Chief Judge Of Paris Tribunal Has
Novel Experience.

Special Cablesram to The Star.
PARIS, March IN. Roy, the chief
judge of the Paris tribunal of commerce,
who happened to be staying at Cannes,
has just had the curious experience of
having his pocket picked in full daylight
while walking in the street. He had been
20 the bank and drawn the sum of $3.50 in
cash and a letter OF credit for some
81 900, when a well dressed young man
ran up against him and, after apologizinG
very politely, walked away quickly.
The judge was still pondering over the
young mans effusive poiteness and
wondering at the hurry he was in when
lie thought of feeling for his pocketbook
which he had put inside his coat The
pocket was empty and the young man was
Nlready out of sight

Returning Borrowed
Articles Is a Virtue

One of the most valuable and certainly
rarest among virtues is the habit or re-
turning books, etc, which one borrows
The average person repays money al the
earliest possible opportunity and, sad to
relate, seems to think that the moral
obligation to return ends there.
In point of fact the most tritiinG object
or it's equivalent should be given again to
the original owner Indeed. the equiva-
lent is not always enough. For example,
there are conditions under which post
age stamp Is worth far more than
cents. Witness those Sundays in the coun-
try. which every person has experienced,
when there was keen desire TO send
letter by hand to town TO be posted. With
out a stamp one could not consider asking
the favor of a departing stranger; with 1t
the stranger blithesomely takes the letter
and posts it, so il is received perhaps
day sooner. Now. a postage stamp under
these conditions must be returned.
Always Return What Is Borrowed.
II persons were only more particular
about returning borrowed property others
would be more agreeable about lending.
One woman stops letting her friends take
her books, so seldom are the volumes re-
turned. Another declares there is not an
extra umbrella and positively refuses to
part with her own. even for an hour. She
has had experience.
When il comes to those persons who
loftily hold their heads. declaring that
thew are not as others and they return
books and umbrellas do they carry the
virtue into the very little details OF daily
life? If they borrow a pencil from some
ones desk do they remember to return
it? And does a borrowed hatpin flnd
its way back to the original owner before
that person comes in quest OF it? Little
things, these. but extremely irritating to
one who takes time aud effort to keep her
own belongings In order. only 10 have
others constantly reap the benefit without
ever repaying.
One Of the best ladys maids who ever
went into service drives her employer to
the verge Of distrac. .ion because she does
not put her mistress toilet articles, ETC.,
where they can be readily found.
The maid, when reprimanded, says truly
that she knows where brushes and boxes
are but this does not help her employer
if the latter wants something in hurry
and the maid does not happen to be In
he room This Is the same habit which
breaks up friendships and strains rela-
tionship.
There is scarcely any article which may
not be borrowed II only it Is returned
but if il is not paid back in kind even the
smallest necessity should not be asked.

Its action upon the teeth is beneficial.
A condition Of the mouth most to be
dreaded is when the gums show ten

means uncommon as age progresses. and
not infrequently makes mouth that

such a condition dentifrice adapted to
strengthen the gums is made from one

Salt Cleanses the Teeth.
Occasionally cleansing the teeth with
salt is highly commended by some au-
thorities 1t is a common practice among
the Irish. as tending both to whiten and
strengthen. Salt certainly removes fruit
stains. but whenever 1T is used the mouth
must be we'll rinsed afterward. Cleans

TAKES The HINT AND
QUIETLY STEALS AWAY
Supposed Demented Woman
Disappears.
Police Fear She Will Garry Out
Threats Made to Commit
Suicide.

The attention OF the police depart
ment was called TO the case OF Mary
Kerns, a demented woman from Lo-
gan county who has been staying at
the Bender hotel on west Center
street for the past few days. The
woman acted very suspiciously ana
II is said, threatened to take her
life. Wednesday evening. the police
referred the case to the probate
judge and township trustees. Ar
rangements were being made to pro-
vide for her when she mystedously
disappeared. A suit case. all the
property she had. was left in the
hotel lobby.
She left the Bender hotel shortly
after o'clock Wednesday evening
and nothing has been seen OF her
since. The police fear that she will
commit suicide and are searching fol
her. The suit case left at the hote
'contained nothing OF value.

NONE NOW IN THE TOLLS
Two Suspects are Corralled
in Cleveland.
Local Italians are Somewhat Excit-

are Leaving the City.

That there will be another raid

more Italians concerned in the Black
Hand plots, is likely according 10
word received from Columbus today
and the officers are expected here at
any time.
While the postal authorities secured
three of the local men, I'M mding
the alleged leader, Sam Lima, they
failed TO secure the others because
they refused to take the advice OF the
local police. 1t was known at the
time the raid at Lima's store was
made that all of the men wanted
were not there. The police told the
inspectors that If they waited until
nightfall all would be gathered at
Lima's place and the capture would
he easy. AS a result of the haste in
the capture, Salvatore b. Lima and
Tony Lima, both wanted, escaped.
Italians, as a general rule, are
wildly excited over the numerous ar
rests and the publR ity given TO the
case. Many wild tales are DelnS lolI
in the city papers, some OF which are
far from the truth. The skeptical
man will hardly believe the majority
OF them. Last night Marion's Lit
tie Isaiiy" was far more quiet than
usual. The children were not romp'
ing around the streets as usual.
Their mothers kept them within
doors and lights in their houses were
lowered. 1t Is said that Italians who
are honest and willing TO earn hones
livings, are greatly relieved at the
arrests, but they do not think The
officers have all OF the band and they
will not talk of the case at all, ap
parently fearing the vengeance o
those whom they might anger by
talking.

LIMA IS RELEASED

Cleveland, o., June 10.-There was
a lull today in the work OF the gov
ernment officers in arresting Black
Hand suspects. The officials are
busy securing translations of the
letters and documents already Sc
cured. The details OF the evidence
will not be revealed until the cases
are called. Eighteen months SEN
tences are all that can possibly be
given convicted Black Handlers un-
less they are able to prove them
guilty of murder which they may
be unable to do. The Ohio law Is
lenient on persons who threaten
lives.
Salvatore Lima, arrested In Marion
was released today on $4,000 bail
furnished by his boyhood friend, a
fruit dealer here. Lima claimed to
be son OF Syrian nobility, the may
or OF the province OF Palermo.
The other two Marion suspects
were unable TO furnish bail.
G .Viccario, OF Bellefontaine sus.
Pct, set up an alibi, his employer
swearing he was in Denison at the
time OF the Petrosinor murder. New
York officers say the Ohio suspects
can give no clew to the murders OF
Petrosino, but they expect some i'm.
portant developments.

Secret service men were first ac-
quainted Of the operations of the So
ciety in January when Charles Ami
con, and his brother, John, and Hen
ry Fasone of Columbus, who gave
government offi.ials threatening let
ters received by them from the So
ciety.
On January is Frances Ditrone,
aged 15, niece Of Charles Amicon,
| picked up a package she found lying
on the porch as she left the house
to go to school. She carried It in
side to her aunt, Mrs. Amicon, who
found a dynamite bomb upon un-
wrapping It. She chu,ked the bomb
in bucket Of water and hastened to
John Amicons hoase to tell him.
Charles was in Chicago then, and
his wife visited with Johns family
until he returned couple of days
later.
II was learned that John Amicon
shot at suspicious person lettering
in the neighborhood of his home the
evening OF the day the bomb was
found. Two weeks later Mrs. Char
les Amicon received a letter from
Pittsburg. which stated agents of the
society had been sent TO blow up their
house with dynamite for refusing to
aa ede to the Black Hands demands
| for $4,000 The letter also stated an
agent had been sent from Pittsburg
to blow up Johns house. The let
ter closed with another demand for
money Amicon was worried, but not
frightened and he Immediately turn
ed the letter over 10 postal authori-
ties.
The society demanded $4,000 from
Fasone in January, and repeated the
demand in two other letters during
the month. Finally the society rails
ed the price to $4,000 and threatened
to kill and quarter Fasone unless the
money was paid Immediately. Fasone
turned this letter over to government
authorities without parting with any
money. BC
Kelly Salamony, 294 Payne street,
and Frank Canatta, of Columbus were
also reported to have paid money to
the blackmailers but they denied maxi
ing the payment. Italians along
Spring street were covering in their
homes last night. They feared the
publicity given to the work of the
society would bring down the wrath
of the Blatk Hand agents upon them
There are but few honest Italians but
what have been threatened by the
society, and to ward off danger they
bolted their doors ana sat in Sleir
homes with the lights turned down.
! They would not venture to the open
door to speak to visitors. Instead
they put their heads out Of second
story windows and talked while visit
ors stood on the lawn.

What has become OF the trolley com

news items. as he hurries home for

wends his steps homeward at night

tions that are propounded TO us every

are sufficient TO show that the people
are deeply interested in this the great.

the people OF Bryan.
From the best information the Ea.

that Bryan. the busiest. the biggest

insignificant little sum OF $4,000 stands
between them and one of the grand

The amount ought TO be raised in

would build up our schools, how II
