DELICATE QUESTION

San Antonio, Texas, July 5.-This is
what comes of being too sure of your
getaway.
The result of being too confident of
their ability to elude. the law has put
two negroes and incidentally Sheriff
Lindsey of this county in an awful pre-
dicament. A few nights ago the two
Africans burglarized a tailor shop and
made rather fat lift. One of their
exploits consisted Of the acquisition
by each of brand new and well fit
ing suit of fashionable male wear. The
suits fitted very nicely and all was
well until Detectives Matthews and
Green got next. as it were. Promptly,
then, the two black men went into the
calaboose, and Just as promptly the
new suits in which they were showing
off were recognized by the victimiZ-
ed tailor as his property and duly con-
fiscated by the officers of the law
The great questions now is: Who
is to provide the two negroes with
clothing. Although they will go to
the rockpile for several moons they
must have something to wear. Sheriff
Lindsey says that his funds cannot be
used for the purpose of buying cloth.

same stand. To transport the men to

wearing, would never do, although
they attended part Of their trial in

ers go to work in blankets, or barrel
for that matter and that this he will
do rather than buy clothing for a pair
of black Raffles.

ences, but it is taken as matter OF
course that politics was discussed. But
the fact that Roosevelt has received
both kinds of Republicans has put the
guessers up in the air as to just what
he will do finally in the way of taking
position in the party's affairs.
There has not been any intimation
thus far that Roosevelt has taken any
direct interest in the Indiana situation
any more than in the situation in any
other state and there is no tellins
whether he will eyinee any special in
terest. John Callan O'Loughlin. Wash

ment that Roosevelt has shown an in

the only information along that line
that has been given to the public.

Work Which Will Engage
Him Two Weeks.
roo BUSY FOR FRIENDS

NEW YORK. Feb. SIN ouiet
systematic way Mayor William j.
fayncr has inserted probe into the
inner workings OF New York's police
department and the system" within
the department. and il is likely that
The result OF his work will be ths.
severest shake-up the department has
ever known.
Honest policemen. who are SER
wants Of the people, shall stay on the
force. receive promotion and protec-
ton; dishonest policemen, grafters
and brutal policemen must GO, and
go for good. Civil service cannot
hold them"
That, in effect. is the mayors ulti-
matum.
Too Busy 10 See Friends.
In statement issued TO the public
last night Mayor Gasnor requested all
~Ais friends sftd-stfi- wf1p- wfstrrf 10 SET.
HIM to remain away from his office
TOT TWO WEEKS ar 1e&St. He declared
he had important work to do, and
wanted 10 he undisturbed. That work,
1t Is known. is the investigation of
the police department.
When / am through with this in
Festigation the public win hear from
me, said the mayor to-day.
Dozens of clubbing cases have come
To the mayors attention, and this
started his investigation. Then came
the story OF two policemen who were
transferred to beats farthest from
their homes to-day after they arrested
several saloonists for keeping open on
Sunday. investigation Of their trans
fers showed that there had been sew
eral hundred similar transfers Gay
ncr, aroused, started an investiga-
ton
Now York policemen have in the
past taken to themselves the dicta-
tGrial powers of Russian Cossack,
il has been charged. Smashing in
doors and clubbing of citizens was
daily occurrence, Mayor Gaynor is
determined IL stop them. Men of
powerful frame are selected for po-
lice duty, and the mayor cannot see
why these giants should have to use
their clubs frequently on small men,
whose chief offcnse, in the most in
stances, is te say something that may
raifile the poliCeman's temper.
Charges Against MANY.
As q result, Mayor Gaynor has had
charges preferred against more than
score OF policemen, and hardly a
day passes that some New York police-
man is not broken for brutalfy club
bling citizen.
Charges of graft in the department
have been frequent. and the mayor is
probing them.
Tammany Hall is in an uproar as
result Of Mayor Gaynor's actions,
The police department. Ii has always
been charged, has been valuable as
set to Tammany. and as GaSnor YVES

HAS BOUGHT OUR SUPPORT:
German Expert Asserts That Chin;
Has Done SO With Concessions.

BERLIN. Feb. S.--Dr. Paul Rohr-
bach, one of Germany's foremost e=-
perts in Asiatic matters, declared to.
day that China had bought the dip
lomatlc support of the United States
by making valuable concessions to
American concerns. principally the
United States Steel Corporation.
DIR, Rohrbach intimates that Secre
tary Knox's proposal for the neu-
tralization of the ManchuriaH rail-
ways, was but part of the plan to
aid China in return for Chinese
favors to the Steel trust. He only
hints at this, however.
Secret instructions sent by the
American government to its consular
agents throughout China are the re-
pated source of much of Dr. ARehr-
bach's Information, according to his
own statement. He says he has seen
these instructions and that they in
formed the cnnsuls that their sue
cess would he measured by the
amount of business they drummed
up. their promotion depending on
the amount of increase in trade they
effected.
