IS TO SAIL FOR

It Has Peculiar Effect on Whitney and He Wants to Get Away from It.

Unusual were the effects of more liquor than was good for him upon Chester M. Whitney, painter, form er1y of this city now of Greenwich, who delayed trolley traffic at Fair field avenue and Water streets at dusk last evening.
 Every car that neared the corner was delayed either by his standing in front of it or by entering into a course of questioning with the troll leymen. Patrolman Gerrity finally had to arrest him.
 It developed today that Whitney wa sarrested as a burglar suspect 4 years ago for strange conduct in the rear of store in East Bridgeport in the early morning.
 "Why didn't you quit drinking then?" asked Judge Wilder. I'm go- ing to quit now,'' said Whitney. I'm going south to live in a State where I can't get any liquor-" He had plan ned to sail to Tampa at noon today from New York city. but being unable to pay his fine of SIS he had to wait too long for friends, to get to New york in time for his boat.

ACCOUNTANT MORRIS
 DIES AT 67 YEARS
Over Two Decades Head Bookkeeper for The D.
 M. Read Go.

James A. Morris. an expert ac- countant, passed away this morning at his home, 1494 Fairfield avenue, after an illness of considerable dura- ton at the age of 67 years. He is survived by his widow and one daugh- ter.
 MT. Morris came to this city from Bridgewater, Conn.,. when a young man. He was an adept at figuring and soon applied himself to the work of accounting: He first associated himself with David Wooster in the dry goods business in Noble avenue. Later he became head accountant with the Howe Sewing Machine Go. From that company he went back into the dry goods business associat- ing himself with Peck, Barnum & Co. on Main street. Then he became accountant with the Rirdsey & Nor gan Co.,, dry goods merchants in Main street in the building now occupied by F. F. Beach & Go.
 In 1873 he became head accountant with the D. M. Read Go. remaining in that capacity for twenty-two years when eight years ago he was com pelled to give up active business be- cause of failing health. Since then however, he has maintained offices in the Sanford building conducting an accounting and insurance business. MT. Morris services were much sought after by concerns others than those with which he was employed He was an expert in untang1ing fin ancia1 affairs, often being employed in this special work.
 MT. Morris was identified with many fraternal organizations. He was a Master Mason, 9, member of Hamilton Commandery, Knights Tenn plar, and of the I. O. O. K.

BOY TELLS COURT HOW IT SHOULD
 DISPOSE OF CASE
Judge Wilder Finds Wis dom of Little Eddie Allen
 Perfectly Sound
Youthful Street Singer Asks to Be Placed Under Probation Officer So He'll Be Kept Off Street.

Little Eddie Allen, the verstaile youngster who sings for pennies on street corners and occasionally ap- pears in local theatres, spent the day in a cell in police headquarters Ed die ran away from home several days ago and has been sleeping in a little shack connected with a garage in the rear of police headquarters Today he was arraigned in the city court for being a truant. Eddie told the court that he knew he would be all right if placed in charge of the pro- bation officer.
 bright little chap, "I ought to go to the Boys club every night, and then I'd be off the stret. But I don't go there now, because I don't have to. If you put me under the probation officer, I'd have to go there to see MT Garfield. Then I'd be all right
 Eddie's wisdom appealed to the court as perfectly sound. but in order to impress upon Eddie the gravity of his offence, Judge Wilder ordered him confined in a cell in police headquar- ters. far away from the other in mates.
 Eddie had a capital cry when he heard he had to be locked up. but his grief soon gave way to a thorough enjoyment of the novelty of his ex- perience, and his clear ringing voice soon dispelled the s.oon of the cells as he rendered all the latest ballads. Eddie is 12. He lives with his mother and stepfather at S9 Arch street. This morning Truant Officer Glenn found him on the street He was placed under the custody of the pro- bation officer until December l.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS 60.
Survival of the Fittest.

Only one oyster embryo out of every 5,0o0,0Oo produced grows up through all the successive stages of youth to the adult state. Even in animals which produce a small number of young there is great destruction, and, taking all the individuals into consid- eration, only a single pair of young arrive at maturity to replace their par ents. There Is no exception to the rule that every organic being naturally muItiplies at so high a rate that if not destroyed the progeny of a single pair would soon cover the earth. The elephant is reckoned the slowest breed CT of known animals. It commences to breed at thirty years of age, dies at 100 and has six young in the inter- val. After 75O years, supposing all the offspring of single pair fulfilled the rule and were not destroyed in an untimely way, there would be nearly 1o,OoO, ,OOo elephants alive descended from the first pafr.-Sir Ray Lankester in London Telegraph

 league are so suddenly in action again, as their statements are full of nnisipformation-
 '-T1he statement that the police are more of a protection to the women in the so-cal1ed tender1oin district than hindrance, is certainly a false state ment, unless it means that the police protect those women by making tn em obey the laws, keeping them off the street and preventing them from Haunting their occupation in the eyes of the world. I do not believe that many men in the city understand the condition in tine lower section of the city any better than do In the past three years there has been a decided change, and all for the good. There is no soliciting on the street, as in other days. Very naturally there are occasional instances of it. That can cendiarisrn, cen but if they W are ga caught at it they will be arrested, and the policemen will not ast as protectors, I lice department has the so-ca1led social evil so far minirnized in its outward show as it is possible to get it, and in this the police have had CTS and persons engaged in that sort of business. As much as I disapprove of that sort of thing, yet as commis sioner of the board of police I must give credit where credit is due, or in ether words, give the devil his due. Perhaps conditions are not ideal but a continuous improvement is far bet ter than a sudden one.
 You may say for me that the pub- 1ication of such communications be- sides being a Representation of facts, are against public policy and interest. If conditions were so bad a 8 to warrant the calling attention of the world to the fact that there is section of the town where vice is open and in full view, that would be a diff ferent story. But where there has been reform movement at work for years. where there has haan stant improveme ment of things as to hide the sean1y side of life from the public eye, then such communicat tions are wicked because they are danag- ing to the good name of the city I want to say further, that there is no politics in the board when it comes to bettcrment of conditions. It is a bipartisan board, and is composed of gentlemen"
