SW|NDLER ADMITS HIS GUILT
Said to Have Mulcted the Unwary OF
About s5oo,ooo All Over coun-
try in the Last Years.

Pittsburg, Pain the raid on the
Organizing Bankers Bond Co. of
this city the federal authorities have
brought to justice one of the smooth
est kid gloved, silk stocking crooks in
the country. He is Thomas p. DAN
iels, son of the late Supreme Court
Justice Charles Daniels of New York.
He has operated here swindling
schemes in New York, Milwaukee,
Cleveland and Pittsburg. His last
batch of victims numbers II, but he
is said to have others all over the
country. He is declared to have
mulcted the unwary of about 100000
in the last years. He was arrested
last December after the raid on the
offices of the Bankers Bond Co.
The charge was using the mails for
purposes of obtaining money by
fraud. He had plenty of money and
engaged former United States Attor-
ney Dunkel as counsel. But when his
New York record with it's rogues gal
lery picture was forwarded here and
his conviction of a similar offense at
Milwaukee discovered, Daniels admit
ted his guilt. He pleaded guilty in
the federal court and was remanded
for sentence. The maximum penalty
for his offense is 10 months impris
onment and fine of $500.

OFFERS POSTAL BANK BILL
Representative Introduces Into House
Measure, Differing From One
In Senate.

Washington, D. CA new postal
savings bank bill was introduced in
the house by Representative Gardner
(Rep.) of New Jersey. Mr.. Gardeners
bill makes several radical departures
from the postal savings bank measure
as passed by the senate.
The main points of difference are
that the Gardner measure would pro-
vide that postal savings banks should
be established only where the board
of trustees should deem it desirable;
that national banks only should be
made repositories of postal savings
funds and should pay the government
2 IL per cent interest; that the gov
ernment should withdraw So per cent
of the total Of these funds from the
national banks whenever they shall
have aggregated $2,000,0OO.

Dickens and the Pre-Raphaelites.


1t is a little difficult nowadays to

new artistic movement was opposed

Charles Dickens, as have elsewhere
pointed out, called loudly for the i'm
mediate Imprisonment of Millais and
the other pre-Raphaelites, including
my grandfather, who was not pre-
Raphaelite. Blasphemy was the
charge alleged against the earliest up
holders of Wagner's music In Eng

I have in my possession three letters
from three different members of the
public, addressed to my father, DIR.

ton and force of character, who, from
the early seventies until his death,
was the musical critic of the Times.
The writer's stated that unless DR..
Hueffer abstained from upholding the
blasphemous music of the future
and in each case the writer used the
word blasphemous-he would be re-
spectively stabbed, ducked in horse

In the cause of universal peace,
as baseball fan and as patron
of art and literature, President Taft
gave Pittsburg sample of his in

negie Institute he extolled the fine
arts and deplored the development Of
Americans on the aesthetic side. In
the afternoon he applauded impartial

Chicago players on Forbes field. And
he wound up the evening with one Of
the most striking addresses he has de-
livered since he entered his high Of
flee, endorsing every act of Secretary
of State Knox, the Zelaya affair, Gen.
trail American relations, the Chinese
loans and the railroad negotiations
with Japan. In broad review of for
eign affairs he reasserted the Monroe
doctrine, restated the policy of the
open door and gave this endorsement
of his premier's peace plan through
a court of arbitral justice at The
Hague:
Among the direct contributions to
the cause OF peace L am giad 10 call
your attention to the fact that Secre-
tary Knox has broached to the powers
a project for evolving a general court
of abritral justice out of the ordinary
of the prize court convention drawn
up at the last Hague conference. The
proposal has had most sympathetic
reception from many Of the powers

WORSE THAN WILD BRONCO
Unfortunate Indeed is the Man
Scheduled to Ride the Wild
= Night Mare.

The night mare is one of the best
known Of all animals and one Of the
most feared. She is wilder than the
tiger and more frightful in its speed
than the turkey buzzard. A young
night mare with no previous expert
ence can fling 200-pound man over
her fianks and carry him all over the
South Sea islands and the Cobb desert
in less time than IL would take him to
look them up on the map.
The night mare is so called because
she is always ridden at night. She Is
somewhat timid, but may be easily
caught. Mix up a little crab flake,
some mayonnaise, dash Of cham
pagne and some rich pastry and you
can catch her with 1t every time. She
will also come for mince pie, for
broiled lobster, for chicken salad and
for variety of other temptations.
Strangely enough the night mare is no
lover Of hay. Offer her breakfast food
and she will remain shyly aloof.
Once the night mare is caught 1t is
no trouble to ride her. 1t is no fun.

like a ship in a gale as she dashes
from mountain peak to mountain peak.
The rider soon loses his hold and
slides downward, only to find sharks
and cuttlefish awaiting him. He hangs
on to the mares legs and is kicked by
her hoofs. He let's go and falls 1000
miles, catching on jagged splinters of
rock and crashing through acres Of
glass and ice. Occasionally the mare
comes after him and tramps ON him.
Sometimes she varies this by eating
his leg. When the ride is over the
rider wakes sideways in bed very

President Hopes That the income Tax
Amendment viii be Adopted
by the Legislature of
New York.

Pittsburg, Pa. Travelling at a
speed of 35 miles an hour President
Taft covered 70 miles of country
around Pittsburg in an exciting auto.
mobile dash. During the ride the
president crossed the Allegheny river
four times, swept through Oakmont,
Holton. Shaftsburg, Verona and sew
eral other of the outlying towns in ad-
dition to covering thoroughly most OF
the squslid foreign sections of Pitts
burg and Allegheny. Mr.. Taft re-
newed his expression Of the hope that
the income tax amendment will be
adopted by the legislature of New
York. He said that he was especially
pleased at the reception to the busi-
ness men Of Buffalo, Of his eulogy of
Governor Hughes and his reference
to the income tax amendment in that
connection. So earnest is the presi-
dent with regard to this that his re-
marks delivered at the Buffalo ban
quet were revised by him and given
out for publication by Assistant Sec
retary Wagner.
The presidents remarks on the in
come tax and Governor Hughes fol-
low: "As / look upon this New York
audience, l feel like uttering an apol-
ogy on the one hand, and felicitating
| myself and the country on the other,
| that we have taken from you a gov

great justice of the supreme court
