COP SURRENDERS,
BUT DENIES PISTOL
SCARED MAN DEAD
Simpson Admits He Used
Weapon as Club at Scene
of Fatality.

Policeman Walter n. Simpson OF No.
second street. who 10 detailed to the
Wakefield station. surrendered himself
at Headquarters to-day. Acting Cap
tain Price Of the Bronx detectives, had
been searching since Saturday for the
policeman In plain clothes who is al
legged to have caused the death, through
fright. of Walter Mayer. who dropped
dead when he saw revolver pointed
at him. Simpson admitted that he had
beaten another man, William Warren,
with the butt OF his revolver in the
presence Of Mayer. but denied having
threatened the latter.
Early Saturday, two men entered the
Stamford lunch room at No. &o07 Third
avenue and engaged in an argument
with others on the merits Of the Rosen-
thai case. One Of the newcomers, who
wore a mourning band about his hat.
suddenly drew q revolver and struck
Warren. one OF the disputants. under
the ear Then he Is said to have turned
his revolver upon Mayer. who lived at
No. %2s0 Third avenue. and threatened
to shoot him. Mayer collapsed In a
ohair. where an ambulance surgeon
found him dead.
The man who had flourished the re-
volver blew police whistle. When Po-
liceman George Groot ran into the
restaurant the man with the whistle
showed police badge and told Groot
he was able to handle the case" iim-
self. Subsequently he disappeared.
Commissioner Waldo ordered a search
for the policeman with the mourning
band on his left arm. Last night was
read In all stations an order directing
all men on the force who wear mourning
and who were Off duty on Satu-d ~
night to report to Headquarters on Fri
day. To-day Simpson admitted to Capt
Dennis Ward that he was the police.
man wanted. His brother-in-law, James
Buchanan. also surrendered. admitting
that he was In the lunch room with
Simpson.
According to Simpson he got into an
argument with Warren when the latter
declared that all policemen were
crooked. Warren made movement to
draw a weapon. Simpson said. and he
only hit him In supposed self defense.
He did not turn his revolver In Mayors
direction and the latter did not die IN
the lunch room but on the street.
Simpson was suspended and arrest ed
on a charge Of felonlous assault.

Police Commissioner Waldo was

S. w. JEWET & CO.
The Country Boy"
PARK THEATRE, BOSTON.

1t is a great day for the actor or
role into which they can throw them
selves with sufficient understanding of
the part to make true to-life inter-
probation. Managers jump at the
chance to secure for certain character
in play some one whom they know to
have had somewhat similar experience
in real life. So, when Henry B. Harris
saw chance to engage H. Dudley
Hawley for the title role of 1.-THE
Country Boy" which is now playing at
the Park Theatre, Boston, he con-
sidered himself fortunate. Mr.. Haw-
ley's own life story reads much the
same as that of the country lad whom
he impersonates on the stage Coming
to New York when only boy, he ex-
perienced all the joys and horrors of
boarding house life; entered into the
fascinating life of the city with the en-
thusiastic credulity and appreciation of
the unsophisticated; was finally made
wise TO the true aspects or the game
and gradually drifted away from the
froth and frivolty of The Great White
Way and into the fields of Journalism.
His newspaper work was good and his
future in that line of business was I'M
usually bright but the call of the stage
was strong. He had always felt his
own ability but had never found just
the right opportunity until he was APP
preached by the manager of 1.-THE
Country Boy company. Mr.. Harris
persuaded him that it was his great
chance to make the hit of his career and
Mr.. Hawley accepted the offer made
him, realizing that he could put enough
of his own personality into the role to
make it huge success. Seen in the
play, it is easy to believe that Mr..
Hawley is not only acting part but is
really living over again certain portions
of his own life story.

DON'TS.

Don't be cruel to dumb animals. God
placed them in your care. so beware.
Don't pose as a poultry perfecto.
Folks quickly dispose of the fellows
that pose.
Don't abuse the broody hens. Put
them in an all slat crate, and their
fever will abate.
Don't feed geese much grain in sum-
mer. Soft grass, water and weeds
supply their summer needs.
Don't neglect breeders after hatch
ing season. Get the surplus off before
mott puts them out of condition.
Don't feed much cabbage to layers.
A cabbage leaf worn in the heat Will
keep your bald head cool and sweet.
Don't waste feed on crippled duck
lings and chicks. They are expensive
nuisances and should be killed on
sight.
Don't let your hens scratch in your
neighbours garden. They may find
something there to pick and also get
hit by a brick.
