keep it on display in prominent
place throughout the year. a, it will
be the means of saving far more than
the price paid for membership.
A fraud beggar seeing this card will
invariably pass by the house. for
they know that they will be
sent to the Charities if thew
appeal for help, and the fraud
knows that the Charities will investi-
gate his ease thoroughly. and an in
vestigation is the last thing he
wants. The worthy poor will readily
60 to the Charities, when sent. and
will be helped if their case requires
it.
Every appeal should be sent to the
Charities for investigation. and hold
ing one of these membership cards no
person or firm should hesitate to re-
fuse to give to any beggar applying
but should send the applicant to the
Charities, as that organization be-
comes your agent for investigation
and contribution.
1t is hoped that all who purchase
membership cards will put them in
the windows or other prominent pla-
ces that they may be seen by the
public. The Committee hope to sell
at least 100 cards this week.
Let everybody assist in this good
work.

returning home with Mrs. Schif from

room n was struck or the head By
a tenpin in the hands OF the former
servant. Mr.. Schiff states that he
thought he was dealing with . maniac
or an exceedingly dangerous man, who
indicated that he had a revolver and
would shoot Schiff. Mr. SchiH parleyed
with the man and finally induced him
to leave. The man had pleaded with
Mr.. Schiff for assistance. saying 1t was
next to impossible to get employment
without a reference. Mr. Scbif gave
Brandt $50 and told him to call at his
office two days later. Mr.. Schin says
that lie consulted with hi attorney.
who advised him to prosecute Brandt.
Thinking the man might net be right
mentally two alienists were called In
by Mr.. Schin to examine Brandt. They
decided that he was not insane and
Brandt's arrest followed his signing OF
n confe sslon that he had entered the
Schifr home for the purpose OF robbery.
Mr.. Schiff denies the accusations that
have been made that he assisted In rail-
reading Brandt to prison. n en-

stop to false charges that are being
made regarding his position In the
