THE only child of the great Persian
prince lay Ill in a beautiful room
u In the palace. All the doctors
of the kingdom could do her no
good. From her window she could look
over the rose window, she could look
over the rose gardens and see the COL
ored fountains playing in the sunlight,
but that brought no color to the pale
face. Sometimes she would smile at
the little fisherboy who often spent the
mornings on the shore OF the big lake,
and the lad would smile back pityingly
at the white face leaning on the velvet
pillow.
No one knew what was the matter
with the child. She suffered no pain,
but could not sleep, and day by day
seemed to be simply melting away to a
shadow. The prince sent to foreign
lands for physicians, but II was no use,

Boy, 10, Twice
a Horse Thief

At the tender age of 10 years
Michael Nipranto, of 95 Malverne
street, has proven himself a "des-
perate" horse thief. having committed
two ~offenses.
Accompanied by Albert Fercal, s
years old, of rs Delaney street,
Michael decided that the two were
pressed for the price of admission to
a moving picture show. Without
further ceremony the two youngsters
appropriated the delivery wagon of
Clifford j. Horner, a butcher, of 22S
Market street, and started out to
raise the price.
Michael drove to Elizabeth, and at
Frelinghuysen and Evergreen ave-
nues they spied a gypsy camp, and
there tried to dispose of the outfit
for $40. When this offer was rejected
they again attempted to dispose OF
it to a man they met in the street.
Mounted Policeman Charles Nc
Hugh became suspicious of the pair,
and when he asked his first ques-
ton he received a confession in full,
When taken to the Sixth precinct sta
ton Detective Sebold recognized in
Michael a former offender.

PUPILS PENTENT
IN POLICE COURT
Rooters of vanquished Soccer
Team Lectured by
Magistrate.

The soccer football team of the
Franklin Street School, which last
Monday tried to beat up the team
OF the Morton Street School after suf-
fering defeat in a game at Branch
Brook Park, appeared In a body Pc
fore Acting Judge Oehring IN the
Second Precinct Court today.
In striking contrast to the being
erent youngsters, who, with sticks
and stones and mud assaulted the
victors and the referee of Mondays
game, were the meek. fearful boys 10
whom the acting magistrate
a heart to heart talk in his private
Office.
None OF the boys, to believe them,
knew anything about the juvenile
riot thai aroused Branch Brook Park,
where 1t started, and Clifton avenue,
where it was continued and ended.
Some of them even went SO far as
to say that they had never even
played football, and were certainly
not present at Mondays fracas.
Acting Judge Oehring reprimanded
the BOYS, and let them go till next
Saturday. Before thai time, he x
planned, he expects that several of
the Morton Street pupils, including
Jennie After, of Howard street, who
SAYS her face was slapped as she
walked home after the game, will APP
pear before him to enter formal corn
plants.
The cause of the fight, according
to Matthias II. Matherey, physical in
structor at the Morton Street School
| and referee of the game, was the ami
mostly existing between Henry Will
Jams. of 20 Oriental street, a player
on the Franklin Street team, and
Daniel origone. of 17S West Kinney
street. of the Morton Street team.
Both these boys are negroes, and
have been on the outs since a pre-
vious game, when Franklin Street
peat Morton Street. Matherey said.
Ii was when Williams kicked Ori-
gone after the Franklin Street vic
tory of Monday, the referee said, that
the young riot started. This story
was substantiated by Principal Otto
Fl. Schultz, of Morton Street, and
Principal Balloon, of the Franklin
Street School.

ROEHM GETS RULE
TO SHOW CAUSE
Civil Service Commissioners
May Be Mandamused to Re-
instate His Name.

A rule to show cause why a writ
of mandamus should not issue to COM
pei the Civil Service Commission to
restore the name of George A. Roehm.
of 2s5 Littleton avenue, to the list
of eligibles for the position of license
inspector, was granted to Jacob l..
Newman. counsel for Roehm, today,
by Chief Justice William S. Gum
mere.
Roehm stood fourth on a list of
eligibles who took the civil service
, examination last July, Herman Van
Steenbergh, standing in third place.
In August Van Steenbergh announced
his withdrawal from the list, adj
vancing Roehm to third place. Later
1t was rumored that a deal, with a
monetary consideration involving 5000,
had been arranged between Van
Steenbergh and Roehm that resulted
In Van Steenbergh's withdrawal. This
was never proved.
Wind of it, however. reached the
Civil Service Commission, and both
men were called before that body.
Denials of the money proposition
were made by both, but despite this
fact the commission on November IL
caused Roehm's name to be stricken
from the list and that of David
Weissmnn substituted.
Attorney Newman brought the
matter before the chief justice a
week ago. AT that time it was taken
under advisement. In court today
he announced that he would allow
the rule to show cause why a man
damus should not issue, and stated
hat the return date Of the writ
would be fixed at a later time.
