WHAT'S IN A NAME?
ESCAPE FROM a JAIL

NEW YORK-Special.- Playing on
the fact that his surname was the
same as the first name of a fellow
prisoner. Joseph Morris, who the
Brooklyn police say has a criminal
record, answered 10 the name of Nor
rts NessoHowitz, spent two days in
Raymond Street Jail instead of six
months on Blackwell's Island, and is
free. Nessonowitz, unable to under
stand English, was sent to serve the
six months sentence for vagrancy.
Anxious friends obtained his release
after two days.
A week ago Nessonowitz, who is
hfty-hve years old and lives at 142
Harrison Avenue. was arrested AT

Morris, also tifty-five years who lived

raigned on charge of vagrancy. He
| had been picked up when hanging
around new houses in williamsburg.
he refused to tell anything about
himself. When the detectives said
Norris was "a bad man" Magistrate
Manner ordered him to the island for
six months.
when the prison van stopped at
the door of Raymond Street Jail the
van driver yelled. "Morris!" Joseph
Morris stepped out and entered the
jail for two days stay. The other
MOTIFS sank back into the van and
was carted off to the island.
Countrymen OF Nessonowitz learn
ed Of the blunder. Magistrate Nau-
mer called up Commissioner of Cor
rections Whitney and directed that
Nessonowitz be discharged.

HE'S NO CRY.BABY If

NEW YORK Special A dozen
small boys descended the embank-

last evening and climbed on a slow

to the tops of ears and then began a
race.
They had run from one end of the

missed his footing and fell between
the cars. The car passed over him and
cut off both legs below the knee Then

USED STATISTICS

Discrepancies.
WASHINGTON, d. G.. special. The

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special. The
Southern Commercial Congress today
nred another broadside into the
census Bureau and the Tariff Board
IN reply to recent explanation Of
Census Director Durand regarding dis
crepancies in the report of the Tarif
Board and the Census Bureau on cotton
crop statistics.
The congress recently discovered
that the two reports for the 1910 crOI
oaies and announced this to the press
Mr.. Durand came back with an eX-
PLANTATION of the difference between
the two reports.
Today. Clarence ]. Owens Commits
sioner Of Agriculture of the congress
issued the following statement:
The reply OF Mr.. Durand simply
means that the Tariff Board accept.

upon as authoritative in tarfff revision
then the most recent statistics should

1t is misleading to use 1909 statistic.
when there is a difference of more thar

The contention of the Bureau of

mercial Congress IS that there
should be but one authoritative re-
port made by the United States
and not several conflicting Official
reports.

NEW YORK Special.-A remark
able development in the Suydam elope-

Lispenard Suydam. father of the de-
serted husband. came to New York
with his attorney, Joseph I. Losse, of
Fatchogue, l.. l., to persuade Fred
erick Noble to sign a prenuptial agree
ment TO wed Mrs. Suydam in the event
Of a divorce.
Young Suydam, IL was said, has
consented to this arrangement. His

protest to the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton at this port. She said that in
view OF the published accounts Of the
dancers life, ii would be little short
of an outrage upon the good women
OF this country to permit the woman
to land.
Acting Commissioner of Immigra-
ton Uhl replied that he could do moth.
ing in the absence of positive evidence
that the actress was not what she
should be.
This did not satisfy Mrs. Vickers.
She wrote again suggesting that a
Governments investigation be insti-
tuted.
Surely" Mrs. Vickers wrote. 'if
honest persons. whose only misfortune
is temporary poverty, are denied ad-
mission into this free land Of oppor-
tunity, there should be some law to
exclude those whose only luggage
physical and moral, seems to be noto-
~iety and an inordinate desire TO coin
Il into American dollars by way of
the theater.'
She received a response in effect
that what the immigration officials
knew about Gaby would not warrant
them in excluding her.
Then Mrs. Vickers wrote to Presi-
dent Taft and to Congressman Kin
kead, urging the necessity of an i'm
mediate amendment 20 the immigra-
ton laws that would bar women of
the type Mrs. Vickers believes the
actress to be.
There seems to be no line between
art and notoriety," said Mrs. Vickers
yesterday. 1T is shameful that wo-
men whose only claim to public atten-
ton is born OF notoriety should be
permitted to appear before the public
for profit in places supposedly devoted
to art and clean amusement. 1t pre-
sents pernicious example to young
women who labor for honest dollars -

RAP those WHO
OPPOSE MILITIA
Court Martial Censures Business
Houses That Kept Soldiers
From Encampment.

r l c II NJ o n d, VA Special
Unqualified criticism, couched in
the sharpest OF language, was heaped
yesterday on business men and firms
antag onistic to the militia by the mem
bers of the court martial sitting at
the armory Of the First Virginia Regi-
ment
The occasion for this censure arose
when several of the soldiers charged
with failure to attend the Culpeper en-
campment explained that they had re-
manned at home for fear lest they lose
their positions.
Thirteen of the defendants offered
this excuse and the court, after hear
ing the oft-iterated statements, put
forth vigorous efforts to verify the as
sertions. Representatives of several
houses, notably the Sydnor Pump and
Well Company, Z. b. Taylor Company
and Robinson, Nelson q Co, were
called upton to testify. The evidence
of all these witnesses led the court to
infer that the houses they represented
had little sympathy for the militia.
Captain Jennings G. Wise, the judge
advocate, in his argument in the case
of II. b. Bibb, Company c., took oc-
casion to arraign the Sydnor Pump
and Well Company in no uncertain
| terms He said in substance:
! That concern is one of the biggest
| Of its kind in the country. 1t has done
| enormous amounts Of work for the
! United States Army and the State OF
Virginia, and ! presume now holds
some contracts from both. But though
il derives a large share of its business
| from these sources. it does not APP
| parently want to employ men who
| have volunteered their services to the
| state of Virginia and in time of wal

| The court adjourned indefinitely
shortly after 2 o'clock, after having
passed on eighteen cases. The fol-
| lowing were disposed of yesterday:

SPAIN AGAIN IN
TRR0ES Of REVOLT

MADRID SpeciaI-Spain is agar
menaced by a revolution which threat
ems to overthrow the government. Sc
turbulent has become the volcanic
spirit Of unrest, which had its incep-
ton in the general strikes in Bilbao
Saragossa, Huelva, Cadiz, Valencia,
Seville and Gijon, that universal mar
tial law and complete suspension OF
constitutional guarantees is threat
ened.
Fierce fighting and bloodshed have
marked the spread of the strike, the
bitterness being intensified by the ac-
ton of Premier Canalejas in declarinl
martial law in local centers where I'll.
greatest unrest arose.
That the anti-monarchists have
masked their activities behind the cur.
tain of labor difficulties is becomine
more and more evident. Using this
effective cloak to hide their real de
signs, republican leaders have so in
famed the wOrkmen against King AL
fonSo and his government that a CON
dition of actual revolution today ap-
peared TO be only a matter of time
The sinister designs OF the Radicals
have become known to the authorities
and today 115 arrests had been made
kbefore noon. Some of the prisoners
lwere charged with official offenses
while others were accused of melting
disorder.
The port of Valencia is tied up and
constant lighting between citizens and
soldiers is going on. All telegraph
operators, railroad men, cork workers
land telephone employees and many
other classes of workmen have either
struck or are threatening to strike.
The atmosphere in the labor war
ithrobs with intrigue and revolution
a plot has been discovered for the
assassination of General Weyler
known as The Butcher" who is in
command of the troops in that hot
lbed of anarchy about Barcelona.
The republican press is boldly ad-
lVocating civil war. Either that or the
abdication OF Alfonso" is the cry.
