Lought by the defendant. part of which he
kept and paid for and another part or
which he returned and refuses to pay for.

model on whom they were fitted has the
perfect feminine form

at Castle William.

William j. Laughlin. a long-term prisoner
In Castle William, on Governors Island

erty early yesterday morning. A strong
guard searched every corner of the isiano
all day, and all night Gordon of men was
maintained around the island. At a late
hour the men had not been caught.
Laughlin's daring work in first freeing
himself and then waiting to help his
''bunkie" to liberty amazed the prison

Tenn. said Yesterday afternoon at the con-
ference of the Foreign Missions Boards of

Sunday to church.
J. L, Dearing, missionary for twenty
years In Yokohama Japan, also discussing
the report as to united services through
out the world, said that through the gifts
of many Americans. some of whom were
only passing through Japan. the near fut-
ure will see the erection of a large union
church in Yokohama
Like many another port city" he de-
clared. yokohama has received bad rep
utation. Evil may exist there. but it may
be described a city of good morality
The Rev. DR. Stanley White read re-
port in which was considered the advisa-
bility OF an international church magazine.
II was also suggested that with less church
literature, but more concentrated effort.
better results from religious pamphlets and
circulars would be accomplished

tion over faro game, In which neither
the dealer nor player was the real loser. al
though sl3,60o in cash passed hands. The

fendant, 10 amend his answer TO the allie
cations of Frank McDougal. who is suing
TO recover on a check for sl3s0O. which he
accommodatingly cashed as a payment on

DISCIPLINE BROKERS.
Chapn and Countiss Formally
Suspended from Erchange.

Formal announcement Of the suspension
of Simeon B. Chaplin and Frederick D.
Countiss, the board members of the New
York Stock Exchange firm of S. B. Chaplin
& Co, for sixty and thirty days, respective
ly. was made from the rostrum of the ex-
change at II o'clock yesterday morning by
President r. II. Thomas.
The reason given for the suspension of
the two brokers was that they had been
found guilty, as it had been generally ex-
pected in the Street would be the case of
the offence of distributing buying order
for 10000 shares of Rock Island common
stock, which the firm had received from
customer, among twenty different brokers.
with instructions to buy 2.0oO shares each
at the opening of the market. The govern
ing committee in it's report on the matter
said:
That said firm and the members thereof
should have known that the execution of
order in such a manner could serve
no proper or legitimate purpose, that it
would cause panic, confusion and loss,
and deprive the quotations Of transac-
tions upon the exchange of their value
as standards of the real market value of
securities. That the execution of said
order in said manner by said firm consti-
tuted misuse by them of the facilities of
the exchange, and was an act detrimental
to the interest and welfare of the ex-
change.
For the violation of the rules of which
the two men were found guilty they could
have been suspended for a year. and the
feeling in the Street appeared to be that,
in view OF the fact that the report of Gov
ernor Hughess Wall Street Investigating
committee will shortly come up for con-
sideration in the Legislature, they had been
lucky 10 escape with such a light sentence.
In their statement explaining their action
IN the Rock Island affair. S. B. Chaplin
& Co. said that they We're left without
any discretion in the matter.
Notwithstanding the fact that the de-
cision of the Stock Exchange authorities
with regard to the board members Of the
Chaplin firm had been made known the
night before, the formal announcement of
their suspension was followed by tenn
porary break in prices of the active stocks

TO many readers. She learned of II

SUNDAY EDUCATIONAL PLAY.

New York has law which forhids
public performances Of plays Sun
days. and theatrical managers OF
New York City have hit upon a plan
TO evade the prohibition They have
formed the American Stage Society,
which is to give series of educa-
tional plays for its members and ele-
vate them and the stage by so doing
Presumably the society will not be
exclusive. There will be a generous
effort OF make the private exhibitions
as public as possible. This Is an in
genious scheme, but we suggest that
hint might be derived by the pro
motors from the fevered fathers of
the republic. The fathers who resided
In the eminently respectable town of
Boston at the close or the revolution
We're denied the pleasures Of the
theatre week days as well as Sun
days. But they Ionged for peep at
show, and some of them encouraged
a graceless company OF actors to
make venture at beating the law.
The actors called their theatre the
New Exhibition room and their plays
moral lectures. They presented
Douglas and the Moor Soldier" a
moral lecture In five parts. Success
! encouraged them, and they went on
with ether bills. Then Governor Han.
cock got busy, and this is what hap.
pened:
while the company were PLAYING
the moral lecture Of The School for
! Scandal and the play had gone as
far as the second act, the sheriff sud,
denly rushed upon the stage and car,
fied off Sir Peter to Jail. The house
in fit of fury denounced the gov
ernor. damned lsoerty and pulled
down and trampled under foot o
painting of the governors arms that
hung before the stage box"
We submit that moral lecture In
hye parts sounds better than an edu
cational play, and that the unor
ganized fathers of 1892 could give
pointers to the organized children o.
1910 on the choice OF names. They
won out, too, in spite Of the arrest
Of Sir Peter, which may or may mo-
be good omen Tor the New York ex
I, pertinent. --Record.H Herald.
