DEGENERATE is
FINALLY CAUGHT
viIest Case Ever Brought to the
Attention OF the Police Ends
With Capture.

Caught by little blind instrument
in the Mutual Telephone central ex.
change, Joe Cullen yesterday was
brought before Judge Lymer at spe
cial session of the police court and
sentenced to one year in prison for
lewd and laseivious conduct And he
still faces seventeen more charges.
The capture of Cullen marks an end
to a mystery which has been battling
the police at every tur although final
ly he fell into the trap prepared for
him by Chief McDuaie and Manager
Hummel of the telephone company.
About n month ago some unknown
person began to call up the wives of
prominent men around the city and
talk vilely to them over the phone.
For the first week he confined his at
tentions to one woman and every at
tempt was made by the police to nab
him. She was given. Instructions to
make appointments with him, which
was done but not kept by him, al
though they were by the police. He
gave fictitious addresses and anything
else which he considered as being liable
to mix up any investigation that might
be started.
This first attempt of his not resulting
in any inconvenience for himself, he
began to call up other homes and the
ladies of the highest standing in So
ciety were repeatedly insulted by the
unknown man. The evidence put to-
gether showed that whoever was doing
it was moral degenerate of the most
vile nature
Finally an instrument was rugged up
in the automatic telephone exchange
that would give the few operators there
chance to trace the origin of the call
Those instruments, which took almost n
day to prepare, have been on the phones
over which the calls have been coming
for several weeks but it was noticed
that when the telltales were put on
the calls over that line ceased.
This for time attraced suspicion to
the linemen or other employees of the
office but after while several of the
phones thus tapped were called up and
the same procedure gone through. On
these occasions the calls were missed
by the operators but the vigilance was
redoubled and finally on Monday night
the operators saw the telltale record
a call. The woman who had been re.
ceiving calls had instructions to wait
few minutes before answering the
phone.
This was done in this case and the
operators had already traced the call
when the phone was answered. The
phone people listened on the wire,
heard the nature of the conversation
and at once notified the police. 1t
originated in the office of the light
house board and Chief McDuffie was
soon on the spot, finding Joseph Cullen.
Cullen was Immediately booked at
the police station and put through a
grilling examination He finally con-
fessed to everything, telling miser-
able tale probably unparalleled in the
moral history of the city.
Cullen has past history as a degen-
crate. Some time ago he was employed
by man in the Kapiolani Building
and had gone through the same pro.
cedure. About a week or so ago his
wife called at the police station and
made complaint about his relations
with another woman, but no action was
taken on this case.
Cullen, who is a part Hawaiian, has
child two years old.

lican congressional committee entertain
at their New York headquarters. Not
only are those officials without heart
but statements are heard that, on the
whole, they might prefer n Democratic
house for the next two years. In iusti-
ficstion of this the old argument is re.
vived that the conservative wing of
the party, which controls the committee
would be better of eventually IL the
Democrats have turn. For, if the
next house is Republican. insurgents
will in all probability have the balance
of power and the insurgent chances of
dominating the Republican party in
1912 would be improved.
Tariff to the Front.
The President realizes that with n
Democratic house he would have TO
relinquish legislative plans he has for
rounding out the work of his admin.
istration. Tariff would be to the front
in congress all during the long session,
immediately preceding the next presi.
Dental election. There would be little
opportunity for aught else, except the
inevitable appropriation bills. Never.
theless, the President will make his APP
peals for legislation just the same and,
for the present, he is shaping his course
without particular thought about the
complexion of the next house of rep
resentatives.
He knows that from this time on he
must take the insurgents much into ac.
count and that faction of the party will
probably get more recognition from him
this winter than it has had heretofore.
The senate will almost surely remain
Republican but there are strong pros.
poets that the insurgents will have the
balance of power in that body after
March next.
There will be feeling of relief on
the part of the administration, when
the elections are over. The present un-
certainty has halted government bust
ness and it WIN not proceed at all Wig
orously until after the November vot-
ing. If the Democrats win, the admin.
istration and both Republican factions
will be more or less on the defensive
during the next two years. A Demo
cratic house will harass and annoy. If
the Republicans win the fractional
wrangling win he resumed fiercely but
the general policy will none the less be
aggressive.

MET ITS FATE ON THE HOOK
Escaped Goldfish Had Short Freedom
from the Natural Enemies Of
it, Tribe.


A young woman employed In a ply
sician's Office In West One hundred
and twenty-ffth street was told by the
doctor to change the water in the
aquarium in which he kept two gold
fish, says the New York Times. While
she was following the doctors or
ders one of the fish leaped out of the
howl and went down the drain pipe.
The young woman visited the bird
and fish stores in the neighborhood
and finally found a fish that resem-
bled the one she had lost. She bought
this and brought it back to the office
with her, but when she put it in the
bowl she discovered that the water
magnified the fish to twice its normal
size.
Finally she determined to take the
aquarium around to the fish store and
have the man match the fish for her.
This was an easy task.
A friend of hers met her a few days
after and while relating some of his
experiences told her of a catch he had
made a few days before. He said that
he was fishing in the Hudson from
one of the string pieces. Suddenly
l felt a little tug at my line. l pulled
in gently and what do you think ]
saw on the hook? A little goldfish"
The physicians helper is sure it
was the lost fish.

aJainn Fritz as Workman,

"Eitel," which is an old family name
among the H~ohenzollerns, means
"vain," consequently it attracted an
unusual amount of attention when
Prince Eitel Fritz adopted unusual
methods lately to decrease his weight.
It did not seem to anybody else that
the prince was taking on enough flesh
to prove ~unbecoming, but it did not ac-
cord with his own idea of a proper
military figure, and he went to his
summer residence near Charlotten-
burg and lived the life of an ordinary
out of door laborer. He stayed several
weeks and worked all day at garden
ing, tree telling, and carpentering,
wearing a workman's clothes. He also
helped in the construction of a new
riding school. The princess became so
interested in the cure that M day
when she stopped to watch some ma
sons in the construction of a clock
work ~fauntain in connection with the
new building she became SO interested
that she set to work with hammer and
trowel and worked for nearly IN hour.

The wife of a Bedouin shelk III the

writing on the subject for a number OF
years, but always under a pseudonym.
Recently the disclosed her identity by
giving at the headquarters of a news

Kaiser and a British sword.

An interesting relic of the Crimean
war was recently found in Mcneil Har.
Dor, East Prussia, in the form of a
sword belonging to Capt. John Foote,
who commanded the British corvette
Conflict and was with four seamen
drowned In the harbor in April, 1854,
owing to the capsizing of a ships
boat. Capt. Foote had been on shore
In connection with some prizes which
he had brought in to Memel. The find
was reported to the emperor, who or

To the Business Men of Tupelo.

For three months or more it
has seemed an impossibility to
get a quorum of you to attend
the regular meetings of our Com
mercial Club. By your actions
you do not care one iota whether
Tupelo becomes a city of 10, 900
population and remains among
thriving cities, or just stand
still and be outstripped in reacl--
ing out and advertising after
those things to better her cond:-
ton numerically, industrially
and commercially.
".Where two or three are gath
cred together does not benefit a
city much. 1t takes concert OF
action all along. We all must
pull and push together with all
of our ability at all times. Let's
turn over a new leaf and resolve
to begin right now to do our best
for Tupelo.
Our committee on advertising
has done it's duty and Tupelo is
advertised as never before. Our
good roads committee has a good
roads bill drawn and same has
been introduced in the senate
and passed without opposition,
and is now in committee in the
house. Isn't this some progress
for Tupelo? Good; but don't
stop there. Let's have a rousing
meeting and appoint a committee
to go to Jackson for the purpose
of urging and looking after the
passage of this bill by the house
before this session of the legis-
lature adjourns. We need good
roads and need them bad, bad,
bad, and the bill as drawn by
our committee, when made a
law, will enable US to get good
roads.
We should also go after a pub
lie building for Tupelo. Keep
right behind our congressman IN
a business-like manner until he
succeeds in getting an appropri-
alton for this building. Other
towns of far less Importance, but
long on energy and cooperation,
have succeeded in getting gov
eminent buildings. So lets wake
up to the Importance of old Tu
pelo and lets all do our whole
duty to push her forward Re
member this is the day of push.
None of our sister cities will aid
US in building up Tupelo. We,
her citizens, must do this.
Come out to the regular meet
ings the 4th Monday night in
each month and give assurance
of your cooperation by your
presence, if not by ideas of how
to, when to and where.

GETS MORE
EXCITING
(By United Press Leased WIre.)

(By United Press Leased Wlre.l
M'ALESTER. Okla, Aug. TO-
Congressman Charles E. Creager
will be recalled by the congress
sional investigating committee to
testify regarding alleged efforts on
his part to borrow money from ]. F.
McMurray, holder of Indian land
contracts which would have netted
those interested about $4,000, 900 in
fees.
The charge and the decision of
the committee created excitement
at the hearing today. 1t is believed
that he hearings will take a new
turn and that the committee may
decide to probe stories that con-
gressmen have gone to the contract
holders and virtually solicited
bribes. Hamon testified that he
was in Creagor's office in June.
Luncheon was suggested and the
two men went out together and
We're joined by McMurray Creager
suggested to McMurray that he
needed $1,000 for his expenses. Nc
Murray did not loan the money to
Creagor. Hamon testified
Later, Hamon said, he asked Nc
Murray why he did not give Creager
the money.
You have lots of money HamOn
testified he remarked to McMurray.
Il cannot afford to give money
to Legislators when | am here and
interested in legislation" McMur-
ray replied, according to Hamon.
On cross examination Hamon tes-
titled that he considered Creager's
words a direct request for money.
