Df the fine of $4,000 imposed along
with their prison sentence, for com

Gaynor are at present
According to Tate, when Greene
and Gaynor appear before United
States Commissioner Co1quitt this
week, no opposition will be made to
their swearing they are paupers. The
government, however, will warn
Greene and Gaynor that they are rem

to Greene and Gaynor to decide
whether they will take the oath and
risk prosecution on perjury clause.
The government officials are con-

Brandenburg, who was charged
with forging and cashing check for
$50 last summer, has figured in court
proceedings for the past two years,
notably in connection with the sale,
under alleged false pretenses, of an
article purporting to have been writ
ten by the late Grover Cleveland
Broughton Brandenburg came into
the limelight in April Of 1909, when
he was indicted on a charge of OBJ
tanning money from the New York
Times, under false pretenses, by sell
ing them an article purporting to
have been written by the late Grover
Cleveland and representing him as
advocating the election Of william
II. Taft. After its publication the
article was widely circulated as cam
paign literature, and was finally
brought to the attention Of Mrs.
Cleveland, who declared it entirely
apocryphal, and an investigation en-
sued which resulted in the indict-
ment of Brandenburg on a charge Of
grand larceny preferred by the Times.
Broughton Brandenburg began his
writing career in the city Of Buffalo
in the early spring Of 1901 as re-
porter on the Enquirer, an afternoon
daily newspaper. He had arrived
from New York city, landing in Buff
falo without friends, money or ex-
perience as collector or writer OF
news.
The management Of the PAN
American Exposition was at that
time busy in the preliminaries which
later made the exposition one of the
most attractive Of any similar enter
prise conducted in this country.
Brandenburg carried a cane, wore
natty clothes and went about his
work with q dash and vigor that
made his city editor look up and take
notice. He became especially valua-
BILE as writer of special stories in
connection with the exposition.
Then his wife came to the city, per-
haps three months after he arrived.
She, too, claimed to possess literary
talent. and was given chance to
demonstrate her abilities Mrs. Bran
denburg wrote fairly well, and later
became an adjunct to the society de-
partment of the Buffalo Courier,
owned by w. J. Corners, who was
also proprietor of the Enquirer.

The coming generation, in our cities
at least. Is likely to have a more live
" appreciation Of the value Of fresh
air than the one that has preceded.
Within the past three years nearly
afty cities have established open-air
schools for the benefit Of tuberculous
children, says the Boston Transcript
Providence began it and other mu-
inequalities have followed on, though
not all have developed the idea to the
same extent Boston, for instance,
might probably carry it farther than
she has. Pawtucket, r. Il. not only

tightly about the stump. He then
