mncomplimentary remarks about him
 and other members of the commis-
 sion, for that matter, and Judge Gould
 puts 1t up to them without making an
 apology for his action.
 There is always somebody who has
 some complaint to make regardless of
 what the proposition is, whether it is
 for the good of the city, county or
 state, or not. Judge Gould says he is thoroughly disgusted with such con- ments and ne would rather remain off
 the commission than have the Free
 Bridge project suffer from the knocking" of even a few dissatisfied
 ones. Judge Gould is a public spirit ed man. No matter what they say duty by Pine Bluff and Jefferson county and enjoys the reputation of having been worker in every in- stance where the county or it's people were to be benefited.
 Judge A. B. Grace, in a charge to the Jefferson county grand jury few weeks ago, declared that just be- cause man happened to be public servant was no reason that he was dishonest or guilty of any misconduct This comment was made when he in- structed the jurors to examine thor oughly into the county records, if they saw fit to do so, as charges had been made without any apparent foundation, that there were irregular ities in certain offices at the court house. He said that the public was inclined at times to circulate reports to the detriment If men in public life whether they have any reason for such reports or not. The complaints usually came from political sore heads who wanted county offices and were never successful in secur- ing them. The people elect their own officials, he said, and they do not us- ually select a dishonest man when they want a public servant.
 This same argument applies in the Bridge Commission case Judge Gould has been public official and a good one. He was elected a third time as county and probate judge, but re- turned the nomination for the third term owing to press of private blsi- ness at that time. It is a common thing to hear people say "grafter" when speaking of county official and ofttimes they refer to some city officials in that light Will these same men make these charges to the face of the men who they sometimes accuse? Men who circulate such re- ports, behind the backs of other men. are not men who will "face the mu- sic" and make good when they are re- quired to do so. It is an easy matter to make charges, but a hard matter sometimes to sustain them.
 The Bridge Commission is compos ed of some of the best men in this county. Men who are reliable and honest. Men who will work for the best interests of all the people and the county and city generally. Judge Gould says he will now give some os those who made statements an oppor- tunity to show their sincerity. He is too busy, he says, building up his ma jority for Congress to give the time that the Bridge Commission would require and furthermore, he will TO

SNOWSTORM NO BAR
TO BOARDWALK PARADE.
Athletic Maids Enjoy Promenade
While Great Flakes Fly.

ATLANTIC CITY. Jan. 23.-Red-
checked and robust visitors In furs
turned out yesterday and paraded in an
o~ld-fashioned snowstorm during the
morning promenading hours on the
Boardwalk. For many who came
to own in hopeful anticipation
of a ~spring-like Sunday 1t WAS a novel
experience. The storm began early and
continued until dark. leaving a three
inch blanket Of white, with which gangs
of laborers played havoc today.
The big flakes were great sport while
they lasted, and the athletic maids who
appeared in stout boots and mannish
storm toys to struggle with the gale
We're astonishinsly numerous. There
seemed to be whole brigades of them.
New Workers said they never saw a
flner-looking lot of girls. and were told
that nearly all of them were Philadel-
phians.

BELIEVE MOTHER STOPPED
BULLET INTENDED FOR SON.
Is Mysteriously Shot in "Black
Hand" Death Zone.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Mrs. Fran
cesca Dechilla, an Italian mother OF
go years, who came to New York from
Naples only a week ago to live with
her two sons, both prosperous mer-
chants OF the italian quarter, was shot
and killed this morning as she sat by
the open rear window of her sons home
in an east side tenement. The police
believe that the bullet was intended
for one of the sons, both of whom have
beer the target for threatening letters.
The shot was fired from an elevation,
probably from one of the upper stories
of the tenement row in the rear.
According to tradition among the
east side Italians, the BLACK Hand
exacts one life every year from the
block on Chrystie street, where the
Dechillas live. Many fairly well-to-do
Italians live here, and the tribute that
secret organizations get from them Is
said to be heavy. A year ago, almost
to a day, a tenant in the same block
was shot in the same way as was
Mrs, Dechilla. and the year before an
incendiary fire cost our lives.

BROOKLYN GIRLS
CAPTURE Thief
IN DARING STYLE
Young Women Hold Intruder
Prisoner Until Policeman
Arrives on Scene.

Fearless courage OF the part of two
Brooklyn girls, Miss Eleanor Geiseke
and Miss Marie Bennett, is responsible
for the capture last night Of a daring
burglar in a Maplewood home. The
young women, one with a carving
knife in hand and the other with II
long-pointed steel, stood guard over
the man after he had entered the
home of the latter's sister, Mrs. George
Traver, in Maplewood avenue. While
this was being done Mrs. Traver a
to the police station half a block away
and summoned a policeman.
It later developed that the man ar
rested had been standing guard over
the telephone in the Traver home while
a companion was at work on the sec
ond floor of the home seeking booty.
When the women first saw the man
he was seated at Mrs. Traver's desk.
An attempt by Mrs. Traver to go near
the phone was useless. The Brooklyn
visitors then told their hostess to run
to the police station while they held
the man at bay. Desk Sergeant George
Schmidt, of the South Orange Town
ship police, soon responded and placed
the man in a cell with difficulty.
Thu prisoner vas given a hearing by
Police Justice Robert ID. Brewer. The
burly looking man said he was Joseph
Pistrunski. of Jersey City, n de-
clared that he entered the Traver
home to use a phone. hoping to locate
a friend in Lodi for whom he had been
seeking since Saturday night. He said
he had been employed as a coal show
eler on the Susquehanna railroad. Judge
Brewer sentenced him to serve thirty
days in Caldwell pending an investi-
CATION.
At l o'clock this morning another
call was received. This time a man
vas seen by Mr.. Traver in the barn In
the rear of the house. Policeman
Arthur J. Boyle was detailed to catch
the prisoner, but he had escaped. The
policeman tracked the mar in the snow
far as the Lackawanna round house
in South Orange, n there lost his
track.
Miss Bennett and Miss Geiseke had
been spending the day with Mrs.
Traver and intended going home last
night, They remained until today.
