Bowbells Tribune: Now that the
Christmas time is approaching and prep
arations for it are beginning, there is
one of the charities of the season which
should not be overlooked by anyone.
1t is the beautiful charity of making
the children happy, particularly the
children of the poor who have to de-
pend on outside sympathy for all
which Christmas means to the little
ones. 1t is not enough to say that the
Frightening of homes at this season
means heartening throughout the
year. ~

cataract in his left eye. For two days
after the operation indications justified
the hope of the generals recovery. Then
septic poisoning set in, and from that
time, with the exception of occasional
rallies. the patients health steadily de-
clined. The general recognized that the
end was near, and often spoke of his
work as being finished.
In recent years Booths advancing age
prevented him from performing the ac-
tive work for so long he was responsible
for the great forward strides experienced
by the organization he had perfected.
Ill health, too, overlook him, and a few
years ago his sight began to fail. in
these trials, however, he displayed his
old cheerfulness, resignation and deter
mlnation. Several months ago he be.
came totally blind. Soon before his
sight did fail he wrote a letter to his
followers throughout the world %announc-
lng that, while he knew he soon must
lose forever the power to "see Gods
wonders he still would retain his faith,
and urged them to carry on, ever with
increasing effort, the work death soon
would compel him to forsake.

Mayor Gaynor, Starts Search
for "Gyp the Blood"

New York.-A plot to blow up the
West Side prison and thus kill Jack
Rose, Bridgy Weber,, Harry Vallon and
Sam Schepps, the principal witnesses
against Police Lieut.. Charles A. Becker,
accused of the murder of Herman Ro.
seminal, was revealed to the police by a
letter received by Assistant Prison
Keeper Levy. The letter insists that
gamblers are behind the plot, and that
men are working on a tunnel to put
dynamite beneath the prison. Careful
search by the police failed to reveal any
such tunnel, but a special guard was
posted and patrols kept out all night
around the prison.
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough
erty issued a call for every policeman
who knows "Gyp the Blood" Harry
Horowitz or Lefty Louie" RoseAzweig,
wanted for the murder Of Rosenthal, to
zone to the commissioners office. The
Official believes that the two men are in
the city and will not stray far from the
places where the drugs to which they
are addicted can be obtained. He plans
to hut men who know the two criminals
on hued posts near the most notorious
drug selling places of New York and
thus capture Horowitz and Rosenzweig.
John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
Becker, has employed detectives to probe
every statement made to him by Becker
or the latter's friends.
Mr.. Mcintyre is building a complete
ground work of what actually happened
on the night of the murder from fresh
information gained in the underworld.
1t is rumored that McIntye would with
draw if he found the case against Becker
hopeless. A report of a serious break
among the grand jurors has encouraged
Mcintyre, however. 1t is said the grand
jury demanded more evidence before re-
indictments.

Matter Of Justice.

Where shall justice begin, with

Justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong

would try to put their affairs in order
30 that no just cause of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element in the relations Of the strong
and tho weak Is that both are think

and not enough about doing that
which is just and right. PAY what
