LIBRARY APPRECIATED
BY COUNTRY RESIDENTS
Many New Members Enjoy Its
Advantages

Most gratifying is the rapid increase
in membership at the Carnegie Library
since membership has been made elig-
ible for residents of the county as
we'll as those of the city. There can
be no doubt that the great increase
is due to this new condition of mem
bership, as the report of Mrs. Lucy
Taylor, librarian, for the month of
July, shows that out of the 104 addi-
tional members received during that
month, 95 of them were from the ter
ritOry outside of the city.
Seldom has an extension of an edu-
cational privilege like that offered by
charging the sphere of influence Of
the library met with a more hearty
or more general response than has
the granting of the privilege of men,
bership in the library to the people
of the county outside of Americas. The
interest manifested by the county
members has been lively and sustain
ed. The class Of books selected ~
them, as well as the number, has
shown conclusively that they appre-
ciate the opportunities offered by the
library and that they are making the
very best use of them.
The general use of the library now
shows that it is far greater force
in the lives of the people of Americas
than it has ever been. With the open
ing of the autumn season and the be-
ginning of the schools. the use
made of it will be even wider and
more helpful
The itemized report Of the librarian
for the month Of July is as follows:

pany for s85,953 and then transfer it to
another dummy, who IN turn transferred
1t TO the BarettO's Point Land & I'm
prOvement company, which referee Odefi
characteTlZes in this way; "Flannery
was the owner of all the stock and its
directors were employees In his office.
Flannery was attorney Tor the East Bay
company, and was to get a commission
20 sell the property TO the city Tor a
park Letters were produced showing
the company never knew its lawyer was
becoming Uhe sole owner. President An
nan, called on Tor an explanation, said:
Mr.. Flaunerv was employed as an
agent TO sell that property and we paid
INN a commission Tor the sale of II.
. But Mr.. Flannery, in connection with
, individuals unknown TO US, and under
methods which prevail in New York and
I would meet with strong condemnation
elsewhere, sold that property Tor a very
much larger price than he paid for il.
We were paid, as the report says,
85,953."
The testimony shows that Flannery, as
a sales agent, collected $685. commission
from his clients to make the sale really
made to himself. He went along with
the condemnation proceedings, the referee
reports, and collected from the city
S252,118, which he Kept and appr0-
pTlated 20 his own use, thereby making
about 200 percent on the deal.
The FOrdham Dock condemnation case
also resulted in findings of guilty
against Flannery.
In this case William c. Cammann,
representing the Cammann estate, had
IS city lots on the Harlem river The
city was taking p of these lots in a
condemnation case. Flaunery, through a
dummy, got into negotiation with Cam
mann, with the result that he Dur
chased the remaining q lots for S95,800
through dummies, with the secret under
standing that he was also to get what
ever award the city might give for the
land 1t was taking.
There had been an advertised sale of
the property, but none of the advertise
ments made it clear that the purchase
price would also buy the impending
award, or in other words all the prop
elrty, so Elannery, through dummy, was
the only bidder.
laura Grace Dean, his employe, took
title to the property and turned it over
20 the Local Realty company, which IN
turn passed 1t along to the Fordham
Dock company, both dummy concerns in
which tlannerY owned the stock and had
his employees as dummy directors.
Without notifying tine commissioners /
that he had become the owner he ap-
peared as attorney IN The condemnation I
case and got experts to testify that the I
plece being taken by the city was worth 4
$Sl ,ZU5, and the remaining property was 1
worth S115,940, a total of S207 ,145.
The commissioners awarded 100000 /
tor the property taken by the city.
7 lannerY objected and after putting on 4
a new expert, who put the value of the /
total plot at S269,50O, got an award Of
S115,000.

CLOCK WILL RUN FOR
A THOUSAND YEARS
And This New York Invent
or Has No Springs to
1t Either: Great

New York, n. Y, Oct. 12-The neces-
sity of winding clock viii not bother
people any more, according to Frederick
Bangeter, who has in his Staten Island
shop, along with half a hundred other
Of his patents, a clock that runs with
out winding.
The secret of the clocks energy is
the reduction to a minimum of friction
in its running parts and the use of
metals susceptible to heat and cold,
which, by their contraction and expan-
sion, the inventor asserts, keep the
wheels turning through a device which
releases metal balls in a wheel.
Bangeter claims he has coupled In
practical way the we'll known laws Of
contraction and expansion, and of
gravity. In order to show the prac-
tioability of his clock he stopped it.
Then, by opening the door Of the labOra-
tory, so as to cause a change Of tempera-
ture, the mechanism started, and he
asserted that unless interrupted it would
continue for a thousand years.

fine CLOTHES, HELDAS 5H9PLIFTERS

New York, Y. Y, Oct 12.-Laden with
diamonds, dressed in the height Of
fashion, two women are being held by
the police as common shoplifters, one of
them threatening suicide if she cannot
gain her liberty without her aeGuain-
tances learning Of her arrest.
They gave names of Mrs. Helen Green,
a handsome young woman who gave her
address as No. 1910 Spruce street,
Philadelphia, and Miss Anna Merrill
JacQueL even prettier than Mrs. Green,
who said she lived in Germantown.
Mrs. Green said she was p years old.
She was handsomely gOwned and the
Jewels she wore were worth thousands
of dollars. Her companion said she was
81 years old.
The pair was caught in a Fifth avenue
department store.
In the police station Mrs. Green
begged the police to release her. "Oh,
please let me gO!" screamed the woman,
the tears streaming down her face.
"Here, take my rings she pleaded, as
she started to strip them from her
fingers.
Shall we notify your husbands" asked
Lieut. Morris
NO; I'd rather die first, she replied,
while her companion stood by sobbing.
Detective Larkin noticed the two
women in the store and Mrs. Green
carried a gladstone bag. He says he
saw her take a piece of silk from the
remnant counter and place it in the bag.
Later, he says, Nrs. Green picked UP
two leather pOc1etbOoks. These, he says,
she passed to the other woman, who
placed them under her raincOat.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-10-12

When they left the store he told them
they were wanted inside, and they re-
turned to the office with him, where the
silk, valued at S13.54, and the purses at
S23, were found with four silk shirt
waists and a table cover that were not
taken from the store in which LaTkin is
employed.
The women broke down and begged
not to be arrested. Crying bitterly they
were taken in charge by Central office
men. Mrs. Green had four diamond rings,
two Of them sOlitaires of almost three
carats. She was willing to give them up
for her release.
When Mrs. Aullane, the police matTou,
tapped the two women on the shoulder
and led them back to be locked up Mrs.
Green gave q scream of despair.
"Oh, this disgrace, this disgrace she
mOaned. IF I get a chance III kill
myself"
Mrs. Green sent q telegram to Byron
Wrigley, a magistrate in Philadelphia.
Miss Jacquel, after a time, sent a mes
sage to Milton Speiser, an attorney, on
Broadway, telling him that Helen Drew
or Jacques was locked UP.
An express receipt was found that
showed the women had shipped a suit
case to Philadelphia. This had not been
delivered IN Philadelphia, and the police
had the company sent It back to the
city. 1t arrived here last night
The suitcase, opened in the West 3Oth
street station contained goods from
nearly every department store in New
York. There were two suits worth
about $50 each, silk waist, raino0at,
gloves, silk palamas, eOrsets and ribbons,
rhinestone buckles and two towels bear
ing the name of a New York hotel. All
the goods were new.

A Simple Way To
Reduce Wrinkles

Bear in mind that wrinkles, as Wen
as bagginess Of cheek or chin, are due
to the muscular tissue losing its siren 9Th
and shrinking. The skin is then too
large in area TO fit such tissue smooth

To remedy this condition there's
nothing so effective, so Quick-acting.
as a simple wash lotion YOU can easily
make at home. Get an ounce OF pow

half pint witch hazel mix the two and
battle your face In the liquid. This
