Influence of Environment

From Lippincott's Magazine.
 The parrot which belonged to the rich malefactor sat in Its gilded cage, contem- plating a price-mark which had not vel been removed Presently the magnate ap- preached, and the bird looked at him. He had been on the witness-stand that day in an important case, and was feeling rather elated over his successful testi- money.
 Hello, Pollyl" he greeted the bird, sticking his finger through the bars.
 s.'Hello!" responded the parrot, ignoring the finger.
 Docs Polly want a cracker?
 The bird cooked its head to one side inouirngly The magnate laughed at it's manner. Possibly the bird had not quite understood the question.
 Does Polly want cracker?' he re- peated.
 The bird still looked at him with slant ed vision, but made no reply.
 "Oho!" he laughed. You're not hun gry. Have you had your dinner?'
 q don't remember croaked the bird, and the magnate ordered the butler to remove it from the premises forthwith.

So important do we consider the recent announcement of the Steel Corporation, and the re- cent developments of the west ern end of Greater Birming- ham, and on the strong proba- bility of further important de- velopments and improvements in the immediate vicinity and adjoining Central Park that we expect shortly to materially advance the price of Central Park property. A swiftly van ishing opportunity is now yours to buy some of this thoroughly improved property at prices lower now than they will ever be again.
 THIS IS GOOD ADVICE. Will you take it?

EARLY MORNING SMOKE FATAL ITO
 AGED RESIDENT
Unable to Sleep Murphy Left Gas Burning After Nocturnal
 Smoke.
DAUGHTERS FIND HIND DEAD
Victim Was Well Known Retired Workman Whose Wife Died
 Less Than 2 months Ago.

Smoking in the early morning when he was unable to sleep caused the death early today of Patrick Murphy, one of the best known of the older Irish residents of this city, at his home, 96 Jones avenue. Murphy left the gas jet open on retiring after hia early morning smoke. and with the door and windows closed, his death soon occurred. His demise proved a shock to his two daughters, for the death of their mother occurred less than two months ago.
 MT. Murphy was IS years old. or late years he had led a. retired life yet despite his advancing years he was vigorous and active until the loss of his wife proved such a blow that he soon showed the inhr1nities of age that he had until then successfully with stood. lFor several years he had been troubled with ihSQmnia, and it had been his custom - arise in the early morning, light the gas in his room, light his pipe and smoke. Then ha his two daughters, Mary and Hannah employed at the Warner Bros Co., called him before their departure.
 This morning following their custom they called their parent but received no response Entering his room to investigate they found the gas fumes overpowering and the room still reeiz- ing of. tobacco. F'linging open doors and windows, they turned off the still open gas jet and attempted to revive the aged man. The body was warm. but there was no indication of breath ing In the desperate hope that he might not be beyond medical aid, they hastened next door to the house of M.g J. Maloney, the bottler and sum moned the ambulance corps by tele- phone.
 When Dr. McQueeney reached the bedside of Murphy he found the vic tim beyond the aid of medical skill He notified Medical Examiner Downs who investigated later and said tla case was plainly one of accidental family to make the funeral arrange ments.

SUNDAY BOOZE CLUBS DWINDLINC
Prosecuting Liquor Agent Says
 Police are Driving Them Out
MORE THAN A DOZEN GONE
Clubs Wait Garry Disputed Ques-

That the social clubs organized to offset the vigilance of the police in enforcing the excise laws with regard to Sunday selling of intoxicants, are rapidly dwind1ing in number following recent raids, is the statement of Pros ecuting Liquor Agent Albert J. Mer- ritt. whose determination to carry the mooted question of Sunday selling in clubs to the highest court routed the newly organized clubs.
 Merritt expected to carry the ques- tion, to the Supreme court in the Old Charter clubs raid, but he said today he feared that the club would not join with him, but would prefer to stand convicted. pay the fine. and thereby avoid the heavy expense of carrying the defence of the case to the Supreme court.
 He asked in connection with this raid what constituted a club. and whether a. duly organized club has the privil- ege of serving drinks to members on Sunday. But 5 demurEer m = fled by the the case on its merits in the city court. It is now pending in the Court of Com mon Pleas.
 Today a similar case came before the city court. that of the Pembroke Athletic club This was another club organized, the prosecutor declared. for the purpose of avoidsngs the police in the sale of intoxicafts on Sunday.

A demurrer was like wise filed in this case. and Judge Eos ter overruled it and fined Butler $1Oo and costs. from which he promptly appealed in bail of $150-
 "I fear the club people are afraid to have this question settled once for all,'' said Merritt today. TT have every thing ready to carry the case up to the Supreme court. but I am begin ming to fear there will be no occasion to do it.

 MT. CasSin secured a copy of the New Haven newspaper yesterday and found that it contained a front page article telling how popular he was while a clerk at the Hotel Garde and how well he was known by New Eng land travelling men.
 MT Cassin is one of the few men who has had the chance to read their own obituary notice and he will save the notice as a curiosity.
 The mistake came about through the death of MT. Cassin's brother, James J., who died in this city last Sunday, and was buried on Tuesday this week. The deceased like his brother had worked at the Hotel Garde as clerk. ~~Someone jugg1ed the information in New Haven; and the obituary of the wrong man was print ed The deceased MT. Cassin was not a member of the Eagles.
 Secretary Con1in of New Haven aerie notified MT. Cassin that he had wired President George F.. Jameson Of Bridgeport aerie of Eagles to look after the funeral arrangements. Mr. Cassin hurried1y located MT. Jameson at Eagles hall, this city, and the lat ter said he had just appointed a com mittee to attend to the matter. Presi- dent Jameson congratulated MT.

BLACK BURGLAR IS HELD FOR
 SIX CRIMES
Probable Cause Found on Each Count in City Court Today.
 BAIL IS FIXED AT S2,5OO
Eccentricities and Daring of Little Negro Disclosed in
 Court.

Protesting his innocence in the face of overwhelming circumstantial evil dence, Edward Coleman, the negro burglar against whom scores of burg 1aries are chalked up by the police of New Haven and this city, was held of $z,6oo, when Judge Foster in the city court today found probable cause to hold him on six separate charges of burglary in the night season.
 Coleman is the man, the police say, who has for several months been ter rorizing the poorer neighborhoodS of the city, thrustins a long pole with a spiked end through open windows, fishing clothes out of sleeping rooms and rifltng the pockets. He recently completed a term of six years in Wethersde1d for burglary, and with the close mouthed methods of pro fessional crooks, he refused to say anything in his defence
 Coleman is only one inch over 5 feet in height, but he is of very mus cular build, and though he admits he is 56 years old. he could no doubt If it came to a scrimnage for his liberty.
 He was charged today with burg 1arizfNg the following homes. in each of which the methods peculiar to himself were exemplifed- James Rus so. Columbus place; J. Molakaw, T 8 Reilly street; M. Thibideau, 95 Full ton street; Samuel Cohen, 119 Lex ington avenue; F'ortunati Rodo1phio, Housatonic avenue: Frank Mesare, 75 Commercial street. In all eases save that of Ko1etar, probable cause was found. There were no witnesses to prove the Koletar charge. He was convicted on the identification Of property, found in his possession as Gtolen goods
 Coleman's loot never exceeded $25 or $3O, although he took desperate chances and in several instances he had to dodge bullets to escape. Time and again he has taken clothes from rooms where the occupants were asleep. He made his headquarters at 22 Factory street, New Haven, and the Elm City police say they have a score or more of burglaries credited to him in that city. He had no law yer in the city court today and was apparently without friends.
 Coleman was arrested as a sus- picious character two weeks ago by Policemen Poland and Guilty. Super 1ntendent Birmingham comp1in ented the patrolrnen in the presence of their fellow policemen ~on their good cap f1iTe

TOM TAGGART IS DEFEATED
 IN INDIANA
Senatorial Endorsement Proposition of Governor
 Marshall Accepted
Doom of Taggartism Is Pro
 uounced Amid Scenes of Tumult
Special from United Press.)


 Indianapolis, April S2S.-Governor Marshall was upheld by a majority of the Democratic party in Indiana after a bitter fight this afternoon and his Senatorial endorsement proposition was adopted by a vote of Sss 1-2 against S5s 1-2. Amid scenes of wild est tImu1t the warning factors con- tested over the question of naming United States Senatorial candidate from o'clock this morning until noon, each side being given time for debate. The vote changed but little on the sev- eral ballots. The Marshall men se- cured new votes on the last two bal lots, the voters yielding to the pro tests against Taggartism.
 The vote on the platform was imrne- diately taken up.
 Indiscriminate use of the power of injunction Is denounced and the plat form demands that the right to a trial by a jury shall not be denied defen- dants in cases arising from indirect contempt of such injunctions. The Indiana state federation of labor was given a hearing on this plank last night.
