ticles under a misunderstanding
rather than for a desire to commit
theft, and on learning this the
woman refused to appear against
the girl.
Yet the girl was written up under
headlines in the afternoon and
evening newspapers in sympathy
with the police, and convicted in
print, long before her case was
brought to trial in the police court.
A promise was made to friends Of
the girl that her case would not be
brought to an early trial, in order
to permit them to investigate the
facts, but two hours later she was
taken before Judge Mann, convicted
on the word of a policeman and
given fine of 500 and costs. The
case was marked conviction on
plea of guilty." in face Of the fact
that three witnesses present in
court say that the girl did not plead
guilty. When the facts in the girls
case became known, and friends
with some influence. politically and
financially. came to her rescue the
girl was discharged after six days of
Imprisonment, regardless OF the
fact that she had been convicted
and fined by the court.
The above statements are
vouched for by L. p. Rindal, chair
man of the committee of the Sons
of Norway, who, along with two
other geneltmcn. investigated the
case. "The girls case was called
to my attention abou. there weeks
ago." said Mr.. Rindall. "and | at
once proceeded to look up the facts.
| then went to Martin Burns, chief
of detectives, and he told me that
he would see Chief Sullivan and
asked me to come back the next
day. When I returned Burns said
that they had concluded to do moth
ing with the girl; that this was her
first offense, and that they would
send her to some home for two or
three weeks, TO make her feel tue
offense she had committed and
then turn her loose.
"This was in the forenoon. He
told me to come back at 2:30. On
this showing | did not bother to get
lawyer, thinking the case settled,
and imagine my surprise when re-
turned to find that the girl had
been tried in the meantime, found
guilty by Judge Mann and given
fine OF 500 and costs. / found that
the only Witnesses examined in the
case were z police man ard Captain
Bertha Smith of the Salvation
Army, nsither of whom knew a
single thing directly Of the case
against the girl. After this l saw
on the record an entry Of plea of
guilty set opposite the girls name,
but from three persons who were
present in the courtroom when the
hearing occurred I learned that 1t
was not a plea of guilty. but trial
and finding of guilty by the court
and sentence Of 500 and costs.
"Then ] returned to Burns and
asked what this meant. oh he
said, 1T don't mean anything, for We
won't send the girl to jail That
afternoon the girl was put into the
patrol wagon and sent to the county

to the contrary.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-
Barricaded behind boxes, crates
and garbage tins on her roof, Mrs.
Emily Miller today defied capture
by the police for several hours. The
police had been summoned by ter
ror-stricken neighbors, after Mrs.
Miller. a widow, had fired a num-
Der of shots from a six-shooter.
The shooting brought Patrolman
Matheson to the scene. He ap-
preached the house and yelled to
the woman to descend. Mrs. Miller,
whose gunnery practice was taken
as evidence of insanity, replied to
the summons with a volley, which
caused Matheson 10 flee precipi-
tously.
The policeman then tried STRAIT
egg. He eluded the watchful Mrs.
Miller and leaped hastily over the
backyard fence. Then he leaped

Even at that" continued Mrs.
Walker, sit was some better than
what the young woman did who was
hurriedly called away by sickness
and left note on the dining room
table for her husband which read,
Dear John, you will find the key
enclosed in this note John never
got in to read the note. 1t meant
two days at the hotel for him."

Mrs. Mary Wilson hides her key
underground. "a good place to hide
the key" said Mrs. Wilson, sis at

to locate the spot"
In the keyhoIe.
Mrs. A. M. Watt: "The other day
l left the key in the keyhole on the
outside Of the door, and no one rob-
bed the house. l have come to the
conclusion that they are less apt to
look in the keyhole than any other
place."
In the Grass.
Mrs. James Campbell: when
you live in a brick house there are
few hiding places for key. I think
a good place for it is in the grass
underneath the window or else be-
tween the bricks and the window
ledge. There is generally space
there for a key. Another good place
is among the vines on the porch.

InfeybOyOugh and McAdOO Methods
Here is what Public Service Commissioner John Il. EuIis thinks of
the Interborough Rapid Transit Company;
They are running the present subway for the almighty dollar alone
They starve the service at hours in the day when there is no neces
sy for sraphangcrs
Their policy is to get along with a. few trains as possible, carrying
as many straphangers as possible.
They don't care for the public.
They begin their cheese pairing just a soon As they think they are
not watched.
Experience has shown u spall dependence is to be placed In any
promise they may make or any explanation they may offer.
Whatever concessions W. have wrung from them were either OBJ
tanned al the very last moment or under compukon.
They never have met the Commission half way.
Their attitude Is always found among people who think they own
or control the whole situation"
Here is what Mr. Eusis says about Mr.. McAdoo:
"tc does not haggle.

"One great reason why McAdoo is so popular and the lnterborough
