GIRL Thief IS
Hello FOR UPPER
JUVENILE COURT
Helen O'Rourke Successful in
Stealing Through Her
Ability as Climber.

Helen O'Rourke, the 13-year-o!d
girl, of 8 Atlantic street, who was
arrested yesterday as a burglar, was
arraigned in the Second Precinct
Court today and paroled in the GUS
tody of her mother for the action Of
the Upper Juvenile Court.
The child did not comment upon
her arrest and imprisonment-she
was held all night in the witness
room at police headquarters--nor
did she explain how she came to en-
ter upon a career of crime. The
little prisoners mother said that the
child had always been a great
climber, surprising boys in the art
of quickly attaining the summit of
trees, telephone poles and other
things of the kind. She is of a very
nervous temperament and eight
weeks ago it was necessary to take
her from school.
One of the robberies with which the
girl stands charged was made possible
only after a remarkable feat of climb
ing. The thief had gained entrance
with a key to the fat of Thomas II.
Powers, 10 Atlantic street. After steal
ing a watch charm, a gold cross and 4
cameo ring in this place the burglar
had climbed to the top Of a covered
closet through a transome and then up
to the apartment of Joseph Steyen
above, where 1865 Lincoln pennies, a
$3.50 gold piece. a wedding ring and
an unset opal were found.
After a careful investigation Ser
seants Kuhn and Quinn, of the detec-
tive bureau, arrested Helen and de-
ciared they found her in possession of
most Of the stolen property.

the new law is signed.

When Isaac Stolkner. a peddler, of
1913 East Seventh street, New York,
was fined SIS by Judge Herr, in the
Fourth Precinct Court, for %peddling
without a license today he shrieked so
loudly that there was a panic among
the prisoners in the police station.
Shoot me, judged" Stolkner screamed,
as he fell on his knees before the bench.
Then he gave way to such an awful fit
of weeping n ear-splitting screams
that the doorman of the station had to
go among the prisoners and assure them
that there was no danger.
Stolkner was picked UP on Prince

Fletcher. He was peddling picture
postal cards and failed to show a
license. He was still hysterical when
he left the court room, after being re-
lieved of his IS.

PRESIDENTS OF RAILROADS
ARE WELL SATISFIED.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Railroad
men here generally expressed them
selves today as entirely satisfied with
the results of yesterdays conference
with President Taft, but most of
them pointed out that in their opin-
ion the price paid for clearing the
atmosphere will be the continuance
of the present condition of increased
costs during the months that must
elapse before the Interstate Com
merce Commission has reviewed the
situation and decided whether the
rate increases r justified.
The bill allows the commission ten
months in which to act, but 1t is the
general belief here that because of the
familiarity of the commissioners with
the situation it will be only a few
months before the question is settled.
Frederick d. Underwood, president of
the Erie, said that the Eastern railroads
regarded the agreement as a good way
to get out of the difficulty.
q know personally" he said. that
the members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission are in favor of a
substantial advance in rates. The rail-
roads have nothing to fear.
Il do not believe that the admins
tration was ever opposed to an advance
in rates. except by the methods en-
ployed. 1t is proposed to make a law
during the present session of Congress
to give the Interstate Commerce Com
power to arbitrate the question
of freight rates. While some are of the
opinion that this would defer the ad-
vance of rates for a year, there is no
reason why the commission could not
decide the question equitably in three
four months.
1.-THE members are acquainted with
the situation. and are not novices on
the subject of railroad rates. They have
given consideration to the matter and
are aware that an advance in rates is
proper"

Aside Levy on Inheritance.

lSpecial to the Newark STAR
TRENTON, June Suit was brought
in the Supreme Court today by Samuel
Moss, executor of the estate of the late
Della s. White, of Berlin, N. Y, for the
purpose of having set aside an assess
ment of $,712.19 assessed under the
collateral inheritance law. The suit
was brought against Surrogate Isaac
Shoenthal, of Essex county.
Della White at the time of her death
owned stock In several New Jersey cor
porations and her executor made ap-
plication to have the stock transferred,
but the Essex county surrogate re-
fused to allow this to be done until the
collateral inheritance tax was ali paid.
Mr.. Moss refused to do this, on the
ground that the law was unconstitu-
tional. and brought this suit for the
purpose of testing the law.

A Curious Document.

Under the above caption, the New
York Sun of last Friday carried the
following editorial:
THE laureis of Booker T Washing
ton seem to make much too loud
rustling in the ears of some other col
ored citizens. Such is the first thought
after reading the address published
Yesterday to Great Britain and Eu
rope, signed by a number of more or
less conspicuous Negroes. If we may
say so with no suspicion of imperti-
nence, the tone of the document is
that of the 'exes,' a class much given
to crying Tchabod' and mourning
over the wickedness of the times.
Among the signers are a former
chairman former clerk of court
late United States Consul former
Alderman man for six years mem
Der of the Legislature of Ohio an
'ex-Consul.' an 'ex-member of Con-
gress.' And there are two or three
editors of colored papers and heads
of colored organizations, naturally, If
unconsciously, inclined to magnify the
grievances of their clients
Irrespective of the propriety of
looking to foreign sources for help
which they cannot give, there is an
lironic bitterness in appealing TO Eng
| lliShmen, whose color blindness is so
notorious in Egypt and India, for in
stance.
"All this is mostly matter of taste.
AS to the substance of the grievances
complained of-and there are real and
great grievances-not all of them are
peculiar to the colored race. Lynch
ling is a National diversion. The kind
entertainment of 'scabs' is not con
fined to colored 'scabs' This mOmen
ltous race problem, economic, polltI
lcal, social, affecting the whites ever
more than the blacks, is not advanced
toward a settlement by heated rhet

CHURCH REFORM.

The habit of reading entertain
ment notices out in church every
Sunday morning should be
stopped by the ministers of the
churches. This is a necessary re-
form that should be inaugurated
at once. Notices of entertain
ments, such as fairs, lectures, ETC.,
should be printed in the newspa-
pers. This would get the cOlOred
people in the habit of looking to
the newspapers for their church
frolics, instead of taxing morning
services by having notices read.
Such ministers as DR.. Brooks, DR..
Corrothers. DR.. Norman, DR..
johnson, DR.. Grimkie, DR.. Ray,
DR.. Clair, DR.. Hayes and other
ministers should put a stop to it.

TEACHERS RETIREMENT
RTII,


The Bee indorses the sentiment
of the editorial by its able con-
temporary, the Washington Post,
in its advocacy of the passage of
the teachers retirement bill. 1t
is hoped that Congress will pass
the bill at this session and relieve
the teachers who have worn them
selves out in the service of the
government.
There are several teachers In
the colored public schools who
have given the best years of their
service to the education of the col
ored youth, and were it not for
the watchful eyes of certain white
and colored members of the School
Board these faithful teachers
would no doubt be recommended
for dismissal. However, The Bee
has been assured by the members
of the District Committee that
the colored schools will very
shortly be relieved of their bur
den, and the colored teachers will
be able to breathe the air of free
dom and independence. The Bee
assured the members of the Dis
trict Committee that the relief
cannot come too soon. The color
ed teachers have no complaint to
make against the Board of Edu-
cation or Mr.. Stuart.
A bill will be presented IN the
House to place the cOlOred schools
under the supervision of Mr..
Stuart, and the supervising prin-
cipals will then report to Mr..
Stuart and the principals of
buildings report to the supervis-
ing principals, which will be one
of the best acts of this present
Congress. 1t is hoped that every
Congressman will vote for the re-
tirement bill.
