FEAR OF TIN-PAN
RACKET KEPT
HIM A BACHELOR

ST. PAUL, May 3.-Swann An
derson, farmer on the north arm
of Lake Minnetonka, lived for Is
years in such dread of a charivari
that he remained unmarried. Re-
Gently he died and left a will max
ing Mrs. Mary Danielson, his house
keeper, his sole legatee. Ira Nolan
a relative, is contrasting the will in
the Hennepin county district court
On behalf of Mrs. Danielson, who
feels that she is entitled to the
estate according othe terms of
the will, a mass of testimony has
been introduced to show that An
derson during the last Is years of
his life was in love with her and
wished to marry her, and that he
was deferred therefrOm only by
his dread that the boys of the
neighborhood would render his life
a burden by an old-fashioned
charivari. No decision in the case
has been handed down.

MAYOR LEADS A RAID
ON THEATER
ORDERS A YOUNG WOMAN NOT
TO APPEAR IN AN OBNOx-
IOUS DANCE.

ELIZABETH, N. j., May 3.-Dr.
Victor Mravling, mayor of this city,
led a police raid on local theater
and prevented . woman from ap-
pearing in an obnoxious dance.
The mayor reached the theater
Just as the woman was about to 60
upon the stage scantily clad. He
told her that the people Of Eliza
beth had ideals Of acting which the
evolutions of her dance did not fit.
The mayor ordered her not to go on
with her dance and she didn't.
The raid was the result Of visit
to the theater by the police on Mon
day night. They reported to the
mayor that the performance Of the
young woman was far from decor
Gus. 1t is probable this dance, un-
less greatly modified, will not be
repeated in this city.

EDDIE FAY, POLITE PISTOL BURGLAR, WHO LIFTED"

NEW YORK, May Stake q
peek through the checker grated
door of Eddie Fay's cell in the
Tombs prison, and see the fierce
scowl on the face of this, 'the
most dangerous criminal in the
World" who is at last behind walls
that hold him fast.
Eddie Fay is undone and knows
it. The ROBBERY at the Richmond,
Va, postoffice of $SS,000 in stamps
and cash will be the notorious yegg.
mans final job.
He is like a Gagged tiger now, his
anger flashing him into furious tenn
pests of passion. Desperately, hate
fully, gnashing his teeth, he shakes
the stout steel door. His guards
are to him what the trainer is to
wild Gagged beasts. Madly would he
tear them to bits if opportunity of
fered to escape.
But withal, one can hardly re
strain sense of pity for this fallen
bad man. In his record there is
audacious villiany, contempt of all
laws of God and man, thirst for
easy money that would make the
man strike dead anyone who inter
posed; and yet, seeing him in his
Tombs cell, you feel that in his ter
ribly mistaken, vicious way he was
a superior sort of creature.
He was the most successful un
derworld crook of modern times
and used skill in his work which
indicated large thinking capacity
1t is estimated that his various rob
berries brought him at least 1000
600, some of which he invested like
good business man in Chicago
real estate, and some of which he
spent recklessly living the life OF
a sporting gentleman. His string
of race horses did not net him any
profit, and he was a desperate gam
bier. But the value of his property
is today estimated at 100000.
The spirit which animated the
criminal career of Fay seems much
like that of the Jesse James gang
though Jesse and the Younger
brothers were crude in their meth

The 5oy was brought into court yes- terd2y to settle the matter and Mrs. Rowe accompanied him there. Mrs. bishop, the boys mother, did not come to the city to make her state ment in court, but J. w. Dyer far mer, was present and stated her side Of the story. He said the mother was the proper person to have the boy and that she was fully capable of caring for him, financially and other wise.
 The boy was questioned by Judge Gould and MT. Dyer tried to get the lad to say that his mother treated him W ell and that he would rather he with her. The little fellow emphati- cally stated that he loved his aunt the best and that she treated him better than his own mother. He declared that his mother mistreated him and that he did not want to return to her. He said his aunt had bought him all his clothes for some months and was educating him. Mrs. Rowe wept in the court room while telling of the hardships the little boy had suffered and how careless his mother had been with the children. She and her husband are anxious to adopt the boy and have assured Judge Gould that they would do all in their power to make a man of him.
 Dyer, although he asserted that he had no interest in the case, told Judge Gould that he would fight the cese to the Hast ditch to get possession of the boy. Judge Gould returned the boy to Mrs. Rowe's home, until the date of the hearing.

ZERO WEATHER

 Thirty Che Years.
A LOW RIVER RECORD
temperature Will Rise Considerably by sunday and Normal Con
 dition Return.

Little Rock. Ark, Oct. 2S-Tbn weather man $ overcoat arrived on schedule time yesterday. and so did the cold wave predicted by the bn- fean, and today the forecast is for eeIder weather tonight with heavy to Killing tfosts tomorrow morning.
 But relief from the cold wave IS promised by Sunday, by which time a considerable moderation in the tem- perature is forecasted.
 That oVercoat story in yesterdays Democrat proved timely, au fait. and so did the frost warnings of the weather bureau, which have been full ly justified, said Sectiaa Director II. F. Alciatore, this morning.
 River Records Broken.
 The records of the weather bureau relative to the stage of the river here were broken today. the gauge re- gistering two-tenths of one foot, which is one-tentn of one foot lower than any previous record, that of Oc- tober "A, 1909. The gauge was estab- lished ill the Arkansas river here in 1879, at which time it was confi- dently believed that there would nev- CT ce any necessity for the use of the m 2us gn in recording the stage of the river. but according to the section director, there is now a pos- sibilty of this being the case The zero point was placed so that it was believed that it would always be in DOC { on to show the stage of the riv- CT above that point.
 Speaking of weather conditions Section Di~ectc- Alciatore said:
 This morning the thermometer at the weather bureau observatory on the roof Of the Southern Trust Build ing registered 3S degrees. Only once in the past 30 yeas, has it been cold e m Little Rock on October 2S. There was a hard freeze in the northwestern part of Arkans2s, Bentonville report ing a killing frcst. With a temperature Of 29 degrees.
 Killing frost cr freezing tempers- lures occurred at Wynne and Pres colt, and light frost in other parta Of the state, including Little Rock. Last night the ccol wave spread over the entire cotton belt. Heavy to killing frosts have occurred in Northern Texas, Northern Louisiana, Oklahoma and in the Ohio and Mississippi val , leys.
