AND HOMELESS,
STEALS BOTTLE OF milk
Jerome Campbell Admits the
Charge, and Wins Sympathy
of His Auditors.

Wandering about the city for nearly a
week, without a home. without money
and without food, Jerome B. Campbell
hunger overcame his conscience in the
early hours yesterday morning and he
stole a bottle of milk which he saw
standing in 7th street doorway. 1t was
the first food, he said, he had tasted since
Monday
Some one who makes it his business to
inform the police on all such matters.
made complaint. Campbell was arrest
ed in few minutes, too weak to resist.
and so discouraged that he looked on the
possibility of breakfast at the police
station as too good to be true. =
Theft Charge Filed.
At the station house he was charged
with petty larceny, the theft of cents
worth of milk. The whole majesty of the
law was arrayed against Campbell as he
stepped up into the dock, after the clerk
had sung out the information against
him. Judge Pugh was on the bench.
We'll, Campbell-why did you do it?'
Il was hungry. ! was crazy for food l
simply could not get work, and there was
no other way; could not resist the
temptation of that bottle of milk standing
there with no one to keep me away from
it,
Placed On Probation.
Perhaps judges are not often influenced
by breakfasts, but Judge Pugh had
satisfactory one himself yesterday. See
ing that Campbell had pleaded guilty, the
judge had to impose a fine. but imme-
d:ately suspended sentence, and told
Campbell he was on probation for
year.
The hungry man stepped out of the in
closure. and before he had reached the
doorway several lawyers had tucked
money into his hand; and William Simp
son, who had owned the milk, placed
crisp bill in the mans vest pocket.

Mexican Marimba Quartet Big Feature


Heading the star bill at the Cosmos next
week are the Soils Brothers Mexican Ma
rinba Quartet a unique musical attrac-
ton that is one of the best in the bust
ness. This act will be remembered by
the many patrons of the cozy Avenue
playhouse as having played a two-week
engagement at the theater nearly two
years ago. And the remembrance OF that
engagement is one of the treasured men,
cries Of the house Theirs is an act that
is really different" and the music that
they evoke from their massive inStru-
ment can only be compared to mighty
pipe organ played by four master must
clans. Many splendid acts have played
the Cosmos since the Soils Brothers, and
some of them have been extraordinarily
fine. but it is safe to say that no act
could deserve a more hearty or enthuSi-
astic welcome from the real music lovers
of Washington
Five other acts will complete the Lrg
star show, including two other acts that
might well be headlined. James Kennedy
and company of five will be seen in his
big comedy success, Jack Swift" a one
act condensed version of his famous play,
Gentleman jim" and the Clerise-keller
Grogan Trio, the Harpist, the Mocking
Bird. and the phenomenal blind pianist:
Rogers and Dorman, the well known
charming Theresa Miller are all acts that
have been carefully selected to make this
the real star bill of the year.

NEED MANUAL TRAINING
IN THE. PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Judge Barnard Believes Sys-
tenn Develops Powers and
Limitations of Pupils.

The need Of manual training in the pub
lie schools formed the theme Of an adj
dress by Justice Job Barnard of the Dis
trict Supreme Court before the School
and Community Association Of the John
Eaton School at Cleveland Park last even
ing Justice Barnard declared that the
training Of the hand with the head was a
most essential thing, for by it boys could
learn their powers and limitations better
than they could with just book knowl-
edge"
1t Is the manual training which boy
gets on the farm that usually gives
country boy the advantage over a city
boy, although the city boy usually has
better opportunity for learning. in the
opinion of Justice Barnard. To meet this
deficiency in the city life, said the speak
er, it is necessary to give boys an oppor-
tunity to use their hands in school.
Teaches Exercise Of Judgment.
BY manual instruction, asserted the
speaker, a boy was taught to exercise
judgment He could see the results of his
activities in visible form, he said. JUS
dce Barnard urged as much manual
training in connection with mental work
as was deemed practicable.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey delivered an
address on the need of a teachers re-
tirement bill in this city. Employed in
the schools at present, she said, were
about tWenty-eight teachers, grown old
in the service. who should be dropped
for the good of the service. If they are
dropped, however, she said, their only
means of support will be cut off. The
pension bill, declared the speaker, would
be a great asset to the schools in making
the teaching corps more efficient and
consequently working for the good of the
boys and girls in the schools.
Small Appropriation Required.
She explained that an appropriation of
only S27, 600 was needed to put the pen
sion bill proposed into operation, the re-
mainder of the money needed to be paid
by the teachers. This appropriation, she
said, would be divided equally between
the federal government and the District
government, or about $500 each. The
value of it would be repaid many times.
she thought, by the increased efficiency
of the teaching corps.
The meeting was declared to be one OF
the best attended of the year, and, it
was stated, showed the necessity for
having an assembly hall in the building.
Refreshments were served and social
hour spent at the conclusion of the
speaking. F. l.. Fenning presided.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
Tax Legislation Which Promises to
=, Reduce It.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Within the past fifteen years the price
Of coal has been increased from so to so
per cent. of iron probably the same, and
OF oil from two to five times; and yet tie
facilities for production are enormously
improved. and it costs much less to pro-
duce now than 1t did then.
The difference has gone into the Golfers
of the trust magnates.
The Sherman antitrust act has COM
pletely failed to break the monopoly power
of the trusts-the power to raise and keep
up prices.
The iron, coal and oil trusts own or con-
troll substantially all lands containing de-
posts of such minerals, and they work
but small part of such deposits-prob-
ably about or 10 per cent, and thew are
therefore able to. and do, control the
amount produced, and thereby limit out
put and nix extortionate prices
AS the only adequate means of break
ing the monopoly power OF the COAL iron
and oil trusts 1 propose the imposition of
an annual tax of, say, IS per centIm of
the annual rental value (for purposes of
productionc of all lands containing de-
posts OF said minerals that are not being
fully worked.
Enact such a law and it is highly prob
able that the output would be doubled and
prices restored to those of fifteen years
ago. or lower. and at the same time the
amount Of labor employed would be great
ly increased and wages naturally rise
Incidentally. through sympathy, the prices
Of other commodities would fall.

stitute a balance Of power lsay or 10

ing candidates in advance.
