A certain amount of activity on the
part of the Department of Justice in re-
gard to maintaining the neutrality laws
between the United States and Mexico
was uncovered yesterday through the ef-
forts of the Bureau of Investigation to
apprehend Harry Phillips, a private de-
tective, who has been doing business
| here.
Philips was not charged with having
disobeyed the agreement between this
country and Mexico in regard to the
shipment OF arms, but it is alleged that
in roundabout way he has been able to
give aid and comfort to the enemies
of President Diaz, by seeing that certain
war shipments showed up in the region
just across the line in the United States.
Warrant for Arrest.
A warrant. issued for his arrest at the
instigation of the Bureau of Investiga-
ton, charges him with having violated
section 2S5 of the criminal CODE which is
| an almost forgotten restriction against
sending explosives from one State to
another without prominently marking the
same.
Phillips was formerly in the employ of
| the Secret Service division of the Treas
ury Department. His health failed a
| couple or years ago, ana, on the permS-
| sion OF the District authorities, he opened
| up private detective agency in the city
| of Washington. APPARENTLY, he got wind
OF the fact that he was wanted by the
Department of Justice, for he has disap-
peared. Efforts to locate him resulted in
the news of the warrant issue getting
out.
Phillips has relatives living in Wash
ington. They appear little concerned
about the charge that has been made
against him.
An inclination TO place an unfavorable
construction on the activities of the bu-
reau in regard to its effort to prevent
filibusters at the Mexican line and to
arouse the belief that an investigation
similar to the Secret Service fiare-up of
three years ago would be held in Con-
gress was not taken seriously last night
by persons connected with the govern
ment.
Last Appropriation.
The last appropriation for the Bureau
of Investigation was $35o.OOo The expen-
diture was authorized for the general de-
lection and prosecution of crimes against
the United States.
The powers of the bureau are broadly
enumerated. and it is believed that COM
plants of undue activity. il they are
made in Congress, will be successfully
answered, for il is considered that a Vo-
laton Of the neutrality laws is plainly
a crime against the United States. and
that it is within the province Of the |
bureau to detect and prosecute it

PURNELL MAY GET
FORTY-YEAR TERM
Convicted of Attempt to Kill
Aged Mrs. Gladmon.

Forty years in the penitentiary. the

Purnell. a negro twenty-five years old.
who was convicted yesterday of one of
trated in this city
The charges upon which he was tried
were the carrying of concealed deadly
weapons; attempt to kill, and robbery
He was found guilty on all three counts
His victim, aged Mrs. Anna A. Glad
mon, who keeps a little store in George
town. and whom Purnell nearly killed in
November, 1908. was present in court
showing the marks upon her head and
face which were left inflicted by the
negro when he attempted to kill and rob
her Mrs. Gladmon, while on the witness
stand, tainted and had to be led out of
the court room until she had recovered.
On November Is. 1905 Purnell went to
the store Of Mrs. Gladmon and asked for
a pie. He put 25-cent piece on the
counter and received the proper change.
Instead of leaving the store after COM
pleting his purchase, he looked at Mrs.
Gladmon and said: You are alone"
which she denied, replying that some of
her relatives were in the other room He
then asked for a bottle of ginger pop and
demanded three apples for "a sick per-
SON
While Mrs. Gladmon bent over to get
the apples, PurneIl raised the bottle to
strike her. She pleaded for her life, Of
fering him everything he should ask for
He did not heed her pitiful cries, but
crashed the heavy bottle into her skull
and face, inf1icting serious wounds, the
scars of which were plainly visible yes
terday.
The negro escaped and could not be
located for some time until an anony-
nous letter was received by the police
putting them on his trail, which led
them to a workhouse in Virginia, where
Purnell had confessed his crime to a fel-
low prisoner, who informed the Wash
ington police of the crime.

greatest summer resort in America Some said the greatest in the
world.
Summer has come. Aristocracy has betaken itself to the corona
ton. Sport has gone to the seaside or to the mountains, culture has
graduated its classes and forsakcn the universities, romance is seeking
gold or girls in fashionable far off places, and there is nobody in town
but a few folks and some strangers.
But where now are all those fine, world famous attractions that
were to make us as gay as Paris and draw to us the bright and the
beautiful from Passamaquoddy, from San Diego and from all the
towns and cities between the two?
Alas, the promise of a summer time Of shows was based upon a
hope Of retaining Madison Square Garden. And that hope has faded
with the April vioets and gone with the April winds. Still, the
leather is good, the water is fine, the city is ample, and something
yht yet be done to make New York as attractive to strangers il
sammer as in winter.

knowledge that if there had been no combine

OF that sort Of philosophy it may be said it i

secured competition by putting an end to competition and stabhShed
monopoly only for the purpose of preventing monopoly.
The system is not new. Mark Twain has told how Buck Fan

by the simple process of getting there first.

Movements toward harmonizing religious differences are not
new to our time, nor to our town. But the launching Of such a move
ment at a hotel banquet is a novelty. Speeches took the place Of
sermons, there were toasts instead Of prayers, and such music as
sounded forth was not that Of Psalm singing.
1t is evident we are to have q distinct, up to date, new move
ment. And it is a rational movement. Men are much more likely
TO agree at a banquet than at any church service. Where there is no
altar nor priest, there is neither dogma nor heresy.
Commissioner Fosdck told the new movementers he wishes to
sec the incubation of a religion that will prompt its votaries not
only to applaud civic patriotism and honest politics, but to avoid temp
tations to sell worthless soil to Central Park or to get soft jobs fol
relatives under the city government. II the wish be achieved, thu
banquet boom will have done more good than any ecumenical council
known to history. Success to it.

Of Barnard and vassar and the like to lead the way, there might b
some enlistmcnts Of youth for the summer at least.
But a curious side light is thrown upon the question Of milharsn
in This country in the report from Washington that there are no appli
csnts for forty vacancies in West Point ~cadetships, though the TIM
for examinations is less than a month distant. The report adds
"There are almost one hundred vacancies with no applicants in tn
class to enter in 1912"
West Point has 90 many advantages as a place Of education, |

is ~gradustes that this neglect Of its opportunities is one Of the oddcs
phases Of the life Of our time. Once applicants for admission wer

even bid money for appointments, and in some instances there wer
serious scandals in connection with them.
