NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-An automo-
famous by the ride of General Israel
Putnam during the Revolutionary
war. "Old Put" rode down it 131 years
ago to escape the British. James
Humphreys, son of the millionaire pat
ent medicine man, of this city, and
friend, went down in big touring car
yesterday, because they were both
asleep.
The hill that has been famous since
"Old Put sent his horse down il is
near Greenwich, Conn. IT is known as
Puts Hill, and there is q good broad
auto road down it. 1t is not so steep
as 1t was when the general took a
chance. But il is still a good mill. The
stone steps that lent a great charm to
the Putnam story in the fourth reader
have disappeared, but the hill is there
and the autnist takes it slowly.
Humphreys and friend had Inotored
from Boston and were near Greenwich
The friend lad gone to sleep. The
road stretched in front Of Humphreys
at the wheel. The machine sung along
at an easy going clip, and for the IN
slant the mal at the wheel dozed away

Detectives in New York Surprise
Criminal in Apartment House

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Wlthin a
half hour Cornelius Van der Wiel was
cornered at pistol point in the apart
ment of Joseph Gavin, on the fifth floor
of No. 500 Lexington avenue, taken to
the Yorkvllle police court, and started
down t,Wn to the Tombs prison to
await trial ON a charge of burglary
James ]. Brennan, detective of the
central office, was sent to the apart
ment to investigate a robbery on the
second floor AS he was about to ring
the bell, q woman ran down stairs
and said she wanted to call a police
man, as she heard strange noises in the
Gavin fiat. Brennan asked her to ask
reighbors to accompany her to the roof
ard guar1 the trap door. He then went
into TIE basement and told the janitor
to hoist the dumb waiter to the top
floor, AMI to fasten the rope so that
it could not be moved.
After he had seen to 1t that men
called from the street watched the
front and rear entrances, he went up
stairs and raped on the door of the
Gavin apartment. Getting no response,
he shouted that he would break his
way in. Finally, with borrowed CHS
el he forced the front door, and, re-
yolver in hand, searched the whole
place. Crouched in corner OF big
closet in the front bedroom was a
man shivering with fright.
Turning him over to a policeman,
Brennan went through the fiat. He
fund everything in great disorder.
Bureau drawers were overturned on
the floors, and their contents scattered
about; silver that had been taken from
a chest in the dining room was tied in
a piece of cloth, and papers from a
desk were strewn about the living
ROOM In the meantime, Gavin and his
wife, who had been in the mountains,
reached the house just in time to see
Van Ger Wiel taken away. They went
to court and appeared against him.
Magistrate Herman made the bond
$1,000, which the prisoner was unable to
furnish. Brennan presented as evi?- {:

AUTOMOBILIST KILLS BABY
THROWS BODY OVER FENCE

MATTEAWAN, N. Y, Aug. 22.-The
police here are hunting for some clew
to the identity of an automobilist
whom they charge with killing the g.
year-old son of George Verdi, a we'll
to-do farmer
The child was playing by the road
side when the automobile whizzed by
A projecting bolt caught his clothes
and he was dragged beneath the
wheels, which passed over his body,
killing him instantly.
According to the police, the driver
stopped his car, picked up the baby's
body and threw it over a low fence on
TO a lawn beside the road. Persons in
a cross street too fan away to identify
the automobilist saw him stop the
machine, pick something from the road
and toss it aside.
They thought 1t was a trifing object
of some kind and paid no particular
attention. A few minutes later the
baby's body was found on the lawn.

SPENDTHRIFT' REVEALS
EXTRAVAGANT F0LL|ES
Play Contains Morals That I'M
press Audience and Roles
Are ExCeIIentIy Enacted
BY SHIRLEY OLYMPUS

1.-The Spendthrift,' which opened
the Mason season last night, is a
preachment on the folly of extravagant
living, the sort indulged in by hun
dreds of thousands of husbands and
wives in every city in the world. 1t
is a wholly understandable play fol-
every bit of morclizing is done in such
a manner that even the most obtuse
intellect cannot fail to grasp the mean
ing the author would convey. Whether
the play leaves a deep and lasting i'm
preston with audiences may be guessed
from the remarks of a man and wo-
man who sat just behind me. The
man said, "There are lots of women
said, "Yes, and you men make them
So"
On my way out of the theater a very
handsomely gowned woman said to
another as they met in the foyer, Il
guess I'll have to sell my machine, give
up going to parties and begin doing
my own work"
The other lady Uttered.
About two years ago 1.-The SPEND
thrift" was produced for the first time
on any stage at the Auditorium. At
that time the consensus of opinion was
that it was neither a good nor a great
play Since then the dramasmiths
have tinkered the play into shape so
that 1t IS possible now to say THE
Spendthrift" is good if not great.
PLOT OF THE PLAY
The story is that Of an over-indul-
gent husband who pampers every Whim
and every extravaganza of his wife
When he comes to the end of his finan-
Cial string he puts most Of the blame
on her, rightly or wrongly, for his om-
barassment. In her selfish Stiffness
she negOtiates a loan of 100000 from a
man with none too good a reputation
The husband discovers the truth and
forces his wife to invite the man to her
bedroom at night. TO the satisfaction
of the husband it is shown that there
has been no wrong done by the wife
in getting the money. She runs away
and five months later Is discovered
living in a dingy little room in Third
avenue, oking out an existence as
governess. Five months Of poverty
seems to be the necessary experience
to make the wife unselffsh and wor-
thy, and five months of searching
seems to bring the husband back to his
senses and hi first love for his wife.
If Richard Ward were not such an in
sufferable cad one might be a little bit
sorry for him. For he is cad else
why would he discuss his wife and her
shortcomings with anyone, or loTce Hpr
into a compromising position just to
prove his fears groundless A husband,
if he loves his wife. never doubts
her even though she tell him bit of
lie. It is rather difficult to believe
that this man and this woman could
live together after he had doubted her
once. for marriage is perfect compan-
ionship and companionship is based
upon absolute trust.
Lionel Adams played the part OF
Richard Ward in a most satisfying
manner He impaired strength to the
character and were 1t not that the au-
thor has made the character one not
to NV personal liking, I would say Mr..
Adams had scored heavily. Doris
Mitchell mouths her words too much.
In fact she lacrifices dramatic inten-
sity in many instances to this manner

when the spasm had passed, as the
startled delegates gathered around him.
