LURES GIRLS TO
RUIN; Gets YEAR
Jack Lane, Who Trapped Victims by
Fake Theatrical Agency, Convicted
In Three Minutes.

Jack Lane, alias Jack Matthews,
who by means OF running fake the
atrical booking agency, lured at least
two young girls from their homes TO
ruin, was convicted before Judge
Phelan, Saturday afternoon, and the
court lost no time In sending Lane TO
the House OF Correction for the limit
provided by the law, one year.
The court subjected Lane to severe
cast CATION, when the fellow stood up
TO receive sentence. Lane declared he
would marry Louise Toegel, one OF his
child victims. IL the court would parole
him and the girls mother wrote let
ter TO the court. saying she was Will
ing that Lane should marry her daugh-
ter and be paroled.
She might as we'll have saved her
paper and ink" said Judge Phelap.
THE place for that girl Is In some
institution. The place for Lane Is
behind prison bars and that's where
I'm going TO send him. He'll get no
parole from me-"

the prisoners box.
This Is a very common offense,
replied the court. Undoubtedly, there

and cannot see how you can stand
before me and looking me In the face

The jury was out just three minutes
before II brought In a verdict oil
guilty.
Louise Toegel and Josephine Levine
the girl victims Of Lane, told their
stories much as they had been told in
the lower court. Lane entered no de
tense. except TO say that the Toegel
girl was living with him as his wife.
On the same charge on which Lane
was sentenced, Mrs. Frances Bealby
was arraigned before Police Justice
Stein, Saturday morning. The woman
was arrested with George Rustin, aft

The bee stings only when 1t doubts
its power TO protect itself or its honey
in any other way. Olden time bee
keeping in clumsy hives was tedious
and decidedly unpleasant operation.
1t was very hard indeed TO move the
bees or take honey from the hive
without arousing every little inmate.
Modern Bookkeeping does not acknowl-

Mans ingenuity has devised a hive
with movable parts, and any tyro in
beekeeping. clothed with a bee vail

smoker in hand will tackle hive after
hive with impunity. Filled honey sec
tons may even be removed from the
