TANNER ACCIDENT

and it was this trolley wire with
which Mr.. Tanner came in contact
when walking along the beach near
Bay Shore-not Buckroe Beach: There
is no truth in the statement that the
wire had been used for decorative
purposes and had been cut and al
lowed to hang too low, as the current
from the trolley wire Is never used
by us for Illuminating purposes;
THE company deeply regrets the ac-
he has fully recovered. At the same
time it is not to blame for the occur

dent occurred is not frequented by
visitors to Buckroe Beach, and as the
storm had caused the displacement
of the poles and the wires to sag, con.
tact with it should have been guarded
against. There Is no danger what

BIG BLUFF GETS
JE VEL R Y BACK
Sergeant Bailey Advises Stranger
How to Recover $500 Worth
Of Rings Lost Here.

The value OF good stft bluff was
never more clearly shown than 1t
was yesterday, when Sergeant Bailey.
of the city detective force. advised
Mrs. Henry Jacobt of London. Eng
land, who Is visiting her niece. Miss
Henshaw. of 7oe East Clay Street.
how to recover $500 worth of rings
that had been lost: and the advice
won out. Mrs. Henshaw telephoned
Sergeant Bailey last. night that the
rings had been returned.
Mrs. Jacob lost her jewelry last
week, and Immediately reported the
matter to the police. Sergeant Bailey
was put on the job and ne went with
Mrs. Jacobi and Miss Henshaw to
every pawnshop In the city, where they
looked over everything that has been
pawned for month. But no rings.
Evidently the person who stole the
rings was holding on to them.
From the information he received
Sergeant Bailey decided that the rings
were stolen by somebody in the house,
and that somebody had not got rid
of them. He therefore advised Mrs
Jacob to ohome to dinner (this
was yesterday just before dinner time)
and announce to the servants that the
rings had been stolen and that Ser
geant Bailey knew exactly who took
them. After that had been allowed to
sink in, she must say that the sergean,
would be there in very short time
and search the house and everybody
in 1t.
| This was done. and 1t worked far
better than Sergeant Bailey had
| dreamed OF. Mrs. Jacob found her
| rings a very short time after dinner
lin approximately the same place she
had left them. No arrests will be made
because there would be great dea
| of difficulty in producing the evidence
1 but Mrs. jacob has her rings.

1t is tho BELIEF OF Richmond friends
lof Colonel John S. Mosby, the famohs
Confederate cavalry leader, recently
dismissed by the United States De-
partment of Justice. that he may be a
star witness in the congressional in

United States Senator Gore. of Okla

offered him TO vote for certain bills
pending in Congress relative to tho
sale of Indian lands.

surprised that some newspapers should
claim that he lost his official position
| because of probing he did into tho
crookedness of cattle barons in the
West eight years ago.
1t seems probable that the old Con-
federate leader, as well as Senator
Gore. was offered bribe. In the let

Officers Intend to Air Incident
for the Good Of the
Service.

For the purpose OF testing the re-
men and the military service Of the
State, court martial was ordered
yesterday by Acknowledgement Sale
for the trial of Sergeant Frank l.. At
kinson. of the Richmond Howltzers.
Sergeant Atkinson Is charged with
having absented himself without leave
from the armory between II p. M. on
June 80 and 9 "A. NJ. July 10, this be-
ing the time during which the COM
mand was absent on duty at the Get

In his formal statement of the
charges, Captain William NJ. Myers,
the Howitzers commander, says he
| thinks that the evidence will show
that the accused was prevented from
\ performing his military duties by his
employers. The inference is that Ser
geant Atkinson was refused leave Of
iabsence to attend the encampment.
| Such action on the part OF employers
has in the belief OF the military of
ticlals, tended to greatly injure the
service Men are disinclined to en-

will be obliged to disobey military
orders, with the unpleasant result of

SHOULD be given all the publicity pos
sible and their (the employersO at

1t is learned that Sergeant Atkinson
is clerk for the American Locomotive
Works. :,
Sergeant Atkinson enlisted on April
