Invited To DINE,
RODS HOSTESS
Charles Nevin ADMITS Theft of $40
From Mrs. Grace Bigelow; Faces
Another Charge, Too.

Mrs. Grace Bigelow, No. $40 Brain
ard'st., thinks less of the gratitude OF
man than she did on Sunday. Her
change OF heart was occasioned by
the conduct OF Charles Nevin, 25 years
old, who, with his young wife, bride
OF three months, rooms at No. 20
Elizabeth-st. east
Nevin, who has been out of work
for some days. and short Of money in
consequence, went 10 the home of
Mrs. Bigelow, accompanied by his
wife, to dine with her Sunday even
ing, In response to her invitation.
After the evening meal Nevin and his
wife, with Mrs. Bigelow. went out for
walk, leaving the house empty.
Down town Nevin excused himself,
saying he had an engagement in an.
other part OF the city.
When Mrs. Bigelow returned home
some hours later, she found that the
house had been entered and a $40 bill
stolen. She suspected Nevin, because
he had previously showed her key
which opened her door.
Detective Thomas Wilson, of the
central precinct, went to the room OF
the Nevins and made a search, which
revealed $40 in the pocket OF Nevin's
trousers. Neyin was placed under ar
rest.
''Nevin," said Detective Wilson,
Monday morning, denied stealing the
money at first but afterward admitted
1t. He said he spent the missing 90
cents on meal for himself"
Mrs. Bigelow didn't care to prose,
cute Nevip, but he will not escape
appearing In court, for charge of
stealing diamond ring, valued at
800, has been preferred against him.
The ring was found by Detective Will
son In Nevin's room and the officer
made an investigation concerning It,,
with the result that the Grainger-Han-
nan Co.. jewellers, No. 23S Woodward
ave-, identified 1t as one stolen this
month, when Nevin was working for
the firm as a janitor. Nevin insists
that he found the ring in the store
building. The firm will prosecute him.

LIBRARY MAY FACE
MUSEUM OF ART
Group Plan of New Public Buildings
Out Woodward-Ave. Is
Favored.

While the plan TO erect the new
Carnegie central library on a portion
OF the art museum site, on Wood
ward-ave.. between Farnsworth and
kirby-aves., has been abandoned.
there Is still some hope for a group
Ing OF these public buildings al this
point. The membeB OF the library
commission have seriously considered
locating the new library ON Wood
ward-ave., directly opposite the art
museum site, II sufficient ground can
be purchased within the prescribed
limit Of $250.0OO.
This plan presents some difficult
ties, however. Some Of the finest res
licences IN the city are located here.
and IL is doubtful whether the amount
which the board Is authorized TO
raise by bonds. would be sufficient 70
acquire enough ground for the pur-
pose unless help should be forthcom.
ing from some unexpected quarter.
which, OF course, Is always possible.
"The group plan has appealed tn
us very strongly" said Commissioner
Ralph Phelps. I'VE are agreed that
II would be the best plan IL 1t can La
worked out. II Is. our intention. IL
we can secure site opposite the
museum site. to build a circular
walk. leading up to the library, with
flowers and shrubbery In the open
space We are still considering the
d. A. c. site and may accept 1t II il
is found that We cannot carry out the
group project, but the latter, of course
would be much more preferable. IL
is largely question OF money.
in any event, the new central II.
brary will be somewhere In the i'm.
mediate vicinity of the crosstowh
lines, SO that 1t will be easy OF &C.
cess from all parts of the city"
Before a site can be purchased the
bonds authorized by the people must
be sold, which will take some little
time yet. There is nothing to prevent
the board taking an option on site.
II 1t is definitely announced
that The old central building will not
be abandoned. Under the deed con-
veying the land to the city, 1t must
always be used for educational pur-
poses, so, when the new library Is
built, the present structure will con-
tinue In use as reference library
and reading room.

MEM ASKS PROTECTION.
|oargoyIe Builder Says He's Constant
Iy Menaced BY Crooks.

Herman Menu, gargoyle builder, is
h marked man.
He came to police headquarters
Monday morning, and insisted that he
must have protection. He says he
ought to be followed constantly by
plain clothes men.
This thing has been going on ever
since that Methodist picnic at Putsin-
bay early in the summer, when some
body touched Herman for his roll.
Now Herman has always been very
partial to Putin-Bay, but that occur
renee so saddened him that he doesn't
like to have the place mentioned In
his hearing. He says that ever since
that time he has been followed by
crooks, jostled in crowds at night by
pickpockets and harassed in various
ways. He says he doesn't blame the
Methodists. He Is quite sure they
are not responsible. but he must have
# stopped.
To the police he confded that Sat.
urday night he caught a pickpocket
going into his pocket. He says he
tried to hang onto the fellow, but
couldn't.
