YOUNG SPANISH WOMAN
+ ARRESTED FOR THEFT
Court Sentences. Girl to Pay Fine of
$25 or Serve Twenty-Five
Days in Jail

Belin Cordovia, young Spanish wo-
man, was sentenced by Police Judge
Williams yesterday to pay fine of $25
or serve the alternative of twenty-five
days in the city Jail for stealing two
articles of jewelry, valued at less than
a dollar, from the Fifth Street store.
The accused was seen by Mary
Moitoza, the store detective acting in
a suspicious manner while idly exam
lining some cheap jewelry. The de-
tective paid close attention and, she
asserts, saw Miss Cordovia slip a
brooch, valued at rs cents, into her
parasol.
Miss Cordovia was then taken into
the office of the superintendent, where
the brooch was found. and in addition
cheap pair of cuff links were dis
covered in a small pocket in her dress.

POEMS BY ROSWELL

the "Rah-Rah" Boy Hasn't Changed Much.
Except in the Manner OF Dress

Roswell Field. while a student here
edited little pink paper-bound book
of College Songs" only few copies OF
which are in existence. 1t was published
in 1873 and abounds in the cheerful ir
reverence of faculty and classics that
the present generation of students ha;
been lead to believe it originated. 1t l:
impossible to tell whether the music
of some of these songs is original.
Most of them are clever parOdies, with
swing. an abandon. to them that no
present song at the University, except
Big Night Tonight has achieved.
Some of the present favOrites are
there. too. "Bingo." the miller's dog.
hOwls from its covers but his name is
spelled "BangO" According to these
songs the ''Rah-rah" boy then wore a
lOng-t coat and a tall beaver hat, but
i'm spite of these digniied garments he
conducted himself much as the 'Rah-
rah boy" does today.
This Poem Applicable Now.
These verses by Roswell Field could
be applied to some of the present fac
ulty also:

Before Columbia Was "Dry"
Roswell Field has in the book one
song. "Upidee," of the days before the
"dry" era. 1t follows:
The shades of night were falling fast
As down the college campus passed
A stylish Freshman, somewhat tight,
Who rOared as he reeled with all his
might. Upidee, etc.
Down the campus thrO' the rain,
Old mathematics on the brain.

And said to himself. III stop ere long"
Peace, Freshman, cease that horrid

Can Matthew Matics give no delight
That you should scream this rainy

And rest yourself by my fireside."
