THE BOY AND THE CENT

Mr.. Peterson did not mind being
called a moralist. In fact, he was
rather proud of the habit, which he
sedulously cultivated, of discours.ng
in a high, ethical tone about whatever
came to his notice. Mrs. Peterson,
silent, hard working woman, listened
to her lords remarks faithfully, ap-
plauding and commenting at What she
thought were appropriate spots.
One day Mr.. Peterson returned from
the village hot with righteous indigna-
tion and overexertion.
"These peoplel" he said, tanning
himself rapidly with a palm lear:
"These people and their children!
am almost glad we haven't any chill
dren, Maria, for if we had, I'm sure
we should train them up to be just as
thoughtless and ill-mannered as the
rest of the world
what" began Mrs. Peterson, IN
her soft voice.
'Begging!" answered her husband.
"Plain, everyday begging! And John
Lincoln's son, too! The little rascal!
l don't think he's six yet
"He was five last May" replied Mrs.
Peterson, with a readiness which
showed that although she herself had
no children her interest in her friends
offspring was keen.
Anyway" maintained Mr.. Peterson,
"he's old enough to know better" rms
was somewhat illogical, seeing that
only a moment before a virtue had
been made of the lads youth. How
ever, Mr.. Peterson was moralist.

said Mr.. Peterson, land he doesn't do
better. This very morning, for exam

the fact that it was today, as if the
date made an important difference

John Lincoln's house on Vernon street,
and there, in the front yard, was his
son John, junior, playing with the
puppy. No sooner did the boy see me
than he said, Please, Mr.. Peterson.

"I am sprprised that Sarah Lincolns S

said to him. What do you want with a
cent, John?' And to this he replied.
Buy something If any boy of mine

what did you say to him them"
asked Mrs. Peterson, becoming a little
impatient to get to the point of the
story, as she had cakes in the oven.

Washington, Jan. 7-"The majority of houses in Greytown being owned by British subjects, there must be no fighting within that town. If any does take place there, I shall consider my self at liberty to land a strong arm- ed party and guns to stop It."

TAFT FIRES
 MR. PINCHOI
Continued from Page one.)

They say, however, that the presi- dent could not, with dignity, have taken any other course; that Pinchot had "defed the lightning" and that there was nothing else for the light ming to do.
 Senator Dickson of Montana, one of the few senators who would be quoted tonight, said:
 T am very sorry that Mr. Pinchot, who is a warm friend of mine, wrote the letter which resulted in this ac- tion. The letter undoubtedly will pre- iudice his chances in congress. put the episode will not affect the investi. gation by congress, which will be just as thorough as if this action had not been taken
 Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, who is to be chairman of the committee indicated today that no actioi with reference to MT. Pinchot would affect the scope of thDroughness of the in. quiry.
 Speaker Cannon received his jolt today in the house of representatives in the vote on the amendment offered by Representative Norris Of Nebraska the insurgent leader, and the vote was 149 to 146, five voting present.
 So unexpectedly was the victory ac complished that the insurgents and their Democratic allies could scarcely believe their ears when the spetker announced the vote. For an instant almost complete silence reigned. then the storm broke and for almost a full minute the noise in the chamber was deafenng.
 After that the Democrats, jubilant that they had helped to pierce the hitherto impervious armor Of the speaker, seemed willing to abandon their fight against the resolution it. self which all afternoon had appear ed too broad to suit them, and most all of them voted for it on a viva voce vote
 The organization leaders made no attempt tp conceal their confusion.
 There was hurried conference at Representative Dalzell's desk and for time the insurgents feared that the triumph was to be short lived as hree of twenty-six Republicans who voted for the amendment have not been classed with their number aid they suspected that at least one of them might have voted in the ar1r. matiye in order that he might move to reconsider in eveit the amendment ment cared.
 But no such move was made al. though several of the regulars whom Representative Dwight, the whip" had been unable to corral whei pe hade ms round before the vote be gan, and another vote would have been even closer.
 It developed that three representa- tiVes who voted for the resolution were staunch friends of Pinchot ana they had favored the electio of the committee members by the house to Insure an impartial jury to try what Is popularly known as the Pinchot. balllnger case.

Girl Torn from Her Sweetheart

Sues for Heartease.

PLATNFIELD, Conn, July e.
Through a husky big brothers deter
mination and bravery, 1~5-year-old Lena
Minnon, who was whisked away from
her home in Mays Landing, N. J., by
a Portuguese lover, John Gomsack, is
on her way home in the company OF
her brother and his wife.
Lena is a very attractive, dark-eyed
girl, the daughter of well-to-do italian
parents in Mays Landing. Her elder
sister Mary married a Portuguese and
went to Wrentham, Mass, to live. 1t
vas through this marriage that Com
sack became acquainted with and fell
in owe with lena while he was en-
ployed near her New Jersey home.
When Lena was missing Monday last
and search failed to reveal her where
abouts, it was discovered that Com
sack had also left town. Minnon and
his wife reached Wrentham o. the
same train as the clippers, and for a
minute it looked as though there would
be a tragedy. as Gomsack pulled a pis-
toll on the barber. The runaway girl
was taken in charge, however, and

HINTS At GRAFT
MAY Be PUT Up
TO GRAND JURY
Threats at Summary Measures
in Event of Whitewash Re-
port in West Orange.

That any whitewash report on the
investigation into the acts of Street
Commissioners Edward Jaegers, Of West
Orange, will be followed by a grand
jury Investigation was intimated in
West Orange today by officials who
have been interested In the statements
rejecting on the commissioners job of
laying q crosswalk in Meeker street.
The street committee will tomorrow
meet at the town hall at 2 o'clock and
go to the crosswalk to inspect the job
hat Michael C~osgrove, who was the
contractor of record, AYERS was really
handled by Mr.. Jaegers.
1t develops that the testimony given
by witnesses including Messrs. Jaegers
and Cosgrove at the secret session of
the street committee ON Tuesday after
noon was to the effect that the walk
was laid for approximately $50 in round
figures. though the town paid $140 for
the work. 1t Is claimed by some of
the officials that $71.90 represents the
total outlay of money for the crossing,
leaving a profit for some person or per-
sons of nearly 100 per cent.
No questions were asked at the secret
inquiry as to the disposition of the
balance, because the officials avoided
any treading on criminal lines. This
is the feature that has been promised
to be taken before the grand inquisi-
ton, though there is a possibility the
matter may be taken c~ognizance of by
the county authorities without the
initiative of West Orange folk.
The session tomorrow is expected to
wind up the investigation and a report
will be forthcoming at the next meet
ing of the Town Council.

SECOND BULLET If
FOUND PROOF THAT
RAWN WAS SLAIN
Everything to Stand Still on
Monon Route During Fu-
neral of It's President.

CHICAGO, July 22.-The alleged dis
coyery of a second bullet in the CRATE
at the home of the late Ira G. Rawn
may play an important part in deter
mining the manner in which the dead
railroad president met his death. u
In this discovery members of the
Rawn family are convinced they have
evidence that will remove the last doubt
as to the circumstances that led up to
his death. It is the clinching argu-
ment, they believe, supporting their
theory that Mr.. Rawn's revolver vas
discharged at a burglar, and that 1t
was the bullet from the intruder's re-
voiyer that took his life.
Insurance officials, who are investi-
eating the case independently, because
of mis- STAT. 900 of life and accident insur-
Rnce, refused to voice any definits opin-
ion. If their investigation should dis
close that Mr.. Rawn ended his life. the
accident policies. aggregating S1U5.0 900,
would probably become worthless.
.'If the second bullet is found the
murder theory is made much stronger
said Coroner Hoffman.
The board of directors of the Monon
railroad, out of respect to the memory
of the late president, Ira @. Rawn, a
ordered that every wheel on the entire
system shall cease turning for five
minutes this afternoon at the begin
ming of the funeral at $3.50 o'clock. For
FIVE minutes everything will be at a
standstill on the entire Monon system.
The alleged discovery of a second
bullet in the CRATE at the home of MI
Rawn may play an important part in
determining the in which the
railroad president met his death.
