Pillow is Held Safe Cache.

New York, Feb. 2l.-"Custom has
decided that womah's pillow is her
safe deposit vault at night, and as
such can be considered iudicially as
safe place for the security of her
Jewels or other valuables as the
vaults of the United States Treasury.
Justice Foster of the General Ses-
sions Court handed down this opin-
ion to-day in declining to return to
pawnbrokers with whom they had
been pledged, jewels to the value of
nearly IS, ZOO, which had been stolen
from Ida Emerson Hills. Miss Hills
had put the iewelry under her pillow
when retiring with her mother, after
a New Years night party in the
house of her brother-in-law, Charles
H. Zimmerman. When she awoke
next morning she found the jewelry
had been stolen and Zimmerman had
disappeared.
Zimmerman was arrested and sem
fenced to Sing-Sing for the theft.
The pawnbrokers claimed that Miss
Hills had been guilty of negligence in
not putting her iewelry in a safe
place. Judge Fosters dictum upset
their claim.

A COURT WITH
OUT LAWYERS.
In Germany the Merchants And
Trades Court Has Proved a
Blessing to the Poor.

Blessing to the Poor.
Kansas City Star.
"A Court Without Lawyers" was
the subject of an address by Prof.
w. H. Carruth of the University of
Kansas in All Soul Unitarian church
34Sl Baltimore Avenue, last night.
The merchants and trades courts in
Berlin were cited as examples by
Professor Carruth.
ION account of the exorbitant
prices charged by the lawyers and
the slowness of the justice in the reg
ular courts, Professor Carruth said,
''the merchants and laborers Of Ber-
lin demanded of the national govern
ment a court for the settlement of all
differences arising between the en-
ployed and the employer. According
in 1890 the trades court was orga-
nized and in 1895 the merchants court
was opened. The features of the
courts are their promptness and fair
ness. Every care is decided in less
than three weeks. Inc average numd-
er Of cases disposed Of in day in
the two courts is twenty.
mo lawyers are allowed in this
court and the only officers are the
Judge and clerk who obtained their
positions after passing severe COM
petitive examination. The Judge asks
the litigants concise questions and
usually tries to effect compromise.
In case the suit is compromised no
costs are assessed. The costs, when
assessed, are graded, judgment of
five dollars costing the loser twenty
five cents, a judgment of ten dollars
costing thirty-five cents and so on up
the scale.
mo criminal cases are tried in the
trades and merchants courts. Only
such cases as disputes between en-
ployees and employers over wages
paid or treatment accorded the en-
ployed by the employer are heard.
Lawyers are admitted into the crimi-
nal courts.
''Of the cases brought before the
trades and merchants court, 80 per
cent are brought by the laboring class
while only 5 per cent are brought by
the employers. The employers win
a majority Of their cases because they
are seldom brought without gooc
grounds. Besides his judicial duties
the Judge also serves as an adviser
to the national government in labor
Legislation.

mo HAPPINESS IN MONEY"
The Two Are Not Related, Says
w. U. Head, Once a Mes
senger Boy.

New York, Feb.-Forty years ago
Belvedere Brooks was messenger
boy in Navasota, Texas. Wednesday
he was made general manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
an office heretofore consolidated with
that of the presidency.
"Has the climb been hard?" he
was asked. ''Has it been hard to get
on.?"
Hard? No, not a bit of it," Mr..
Brooks said. "But, then, have been
lucky, awfully lucky. But it does
not strike me that it is so hard to sue
ceed-to get on in your work.
'If you only love your work, if you
only promise yourself from the first
that you will give it the best that is in
you, and if you stick to that, you are
bound to succeed. Honesty and in
dustry must be rewarded"
Always" he was asked.
always" confirmed Mr.. Brooks
soberly. "You hear a lot of talk about
good men being downed by unscru-
pulous enemies, but | tell you if a
man is straight you absolutely cannot
down him. You may give him a few
setbacks with undetermined deals, but
you cannot permanently harm him.
No, sir. Your straight man has to
win, just as your crooked man has to
lose. 1t sounds old fashioned, but it
is gospel truth"
Mr.. Brooks paused and plainly de-
cided not to 60 on. Then he changed
his mind, apparently, for he continued
with a laugh:
"You see,- the truth of the matter
is there is plenty of room for honesty
in New York. 1t is policy-well, it
is trifle unique in some circles, and
therefore rather more likely to win.
New York. with its frivolity and
its sometimes easy money, is too
strong temptation for the blood of
the average young man. That is why
there is so much room for the earn
est worker. That is. why there is
enough success to go around.
''The danger in New York is this,
Mr.. Brooks was very much in earn
est now, TT is the danger Of con-
founding money with happiness. We,
in New York, are too apt to think
that money and happiness are synon-
ymous. They are things apart tell
you l have arrived atan age where |
absolutely know that money has moth
ing to do with happiness"

Police Of the Ninth precinct are still
looking for Harry Wslker supposed TO
be the man who yesterday set fire to the
homes Of three families In Barnes lane,
facing the Benning racetrack.
Several hours were spent in searching

The authorities there have been asked TO
look out for the man.
Walker is alleged to have set fire 10 the
homes Of Robert Leonard, Charles Strube,
and John Furtney Early yesterday
morning Mrs. Leonard was awakened
by the smell of smoke. and found that
blaze had been started IN a pile of
oil-soaked rags and paper. A few min
utes later the Srube family were aroused
and the Furtney household awoke when
both the other families were engaged in
putting out the blaze
Little damage was done to any OF the
dwellings, but the piles of paper and rags
all soaked with oil taken from can be-
longing to the Strube family, clearly in

JOHNSON PICKED
By MIKE MURPHY
Continued from Page One.

Jeffs rushes. Let us hope this to be
true. for all feel sure that the negro viii
land often on his older opponent
I asked a young boy to-day to tell me
how much older Jeffries was than John
son. He had seen them both many
times. He said ten years.
Advantage of Youth.
There you are This was a frank opin-
ion. johnson has in appearance at least
ten years advantage of JEFF, who not
only has his age to contend with, but
has been out of the running for many
years. and is not in his best condition,
though he himself says he is and be
lieves it.
That he has lost his eye none can deny
What chance has he TO win? This ques-
non many are asking. There is an an
swer, of course.
Jeffries is a far better man than was
Sullivan when the latter fell at New Or
leans. Jeffries has rugged courage and
strong temperament He is heart and
soul in the fight, and Will make q su-
preme effort 10 win at any cost
No matter how much he is harmed,
he knows that all the blows will not be
half as bad as the sting Of defeat II he
loses he will curse the day he ever let
them persuade him to re-enter the ring,
and he IS going TO make a heart-break-
ing effort 10 prevent that happening This
knowledge will make him fight harder,
and he will profit by his trel 1endous
strength.
II he wins this fight. 1t will be be-
cause In his prime he was twice as good
man as the negro.
Johnson is easy-going, and has not con-
centrated on the battle the way Jeffries
has. 1t is just possible he viii not make
such stubborn fight of it. for there
are many who insist the negro lacks in
the "do-or-die" snerve.
Looks Like He Could stand II,
would not. however. bet On this. for
he looks like a man who would take a
beating.
When you look at Jeffries you can
hardly avoid sharing the confidence Of his
men in his ability TO win His mighty
body, that short, bull neck, and deter
mined face, are all the kind OF requisites
that make for an athletes triumph. But
it must be remembered that Johnson is
an impressive specimen. too.
Jeffries viii make fight for one blow.
He thinks the right kind of punch will
stop Johnson, and in support Of this view
it must be recalled that as small a man
as Ketchell dropped the big negro for
the count. To get in that one blow, JEFF
will endure anything in suffering.
If Johnson can fight as we'll as he can
box. II will be terrific struggle. Neither
has met such a big man before and in
his prime JEFF had his work cut out to
beat Sharkey and Corbett.
Can he do IL now? I dare not say. but
wish il were all over. and JEFF had won.
