THE STREET RAILWAY ENTEN-
 SION.

Following a suggestion made edi- torially in the Graphic a few days since, relative to the extension of the street railway line on Main, Barra- que and Walnut streets, the proper y owners and J. H. Allen, secretary of the Citizens Light & Transit Con- pany met. Saturday afternoon to dis cuss the proposition The account Of the meeting, and what was done can be found else where in this issue Of the Graphic
 property owners present, and the in terest manif sted, that they realized and appreciated the importance of the extension, just as the Graphic predicted in it's article of several days ago. There were, of course. some minor differences of opinion. as to the best means of getting the improve. best means of getting the improve
 The proposition made by MT. Allen, as We understand it, was that for a bonus of s27, 300 the street car com pany would make the extension as required.
 MT. Aliens claim that the exte r. sion would not benefit the company, remains to be proven. The Graphic cannot see how such an improvement can fail to be of future benefit to the street car company.
 The Graphic believes that it wi, benefit the street car company, but at the same tinle the main question to be considered by the property owne 5 is, to what extent it will benefit them; and the Graphic has naoe some investigations in, this regard.
 The amount of real property lying along tn cline of the proposed exten- sion is assessed at a.pfoximate, y 5250,00 and ths is about 50 psr cent If the f,lil value Of said property.
 Tais approximate assessed valuation, does net include the Bank of Piae B. if. nor the Hicks building opposite. nor any property on Second avenue which, when thoughtfully consider ed will be sesn to be benefitred a. most as much as Main or Barraque The figures given relate to real prop -rty alone, when per;6nally every bus ness firm and individual along the line of extension vii, rsalize pro . lit from the improvement.
 Mr Aliens figures may be little high, and some of the parties inter ested, we believe, contend that the, are; but even at these figures whe1 all IS considered, it is readily seer that the sum named would be les than 10 per cent of the assessed val ation of the real property direct. afr, cted by the nroposed improvement,
 The Graphic sincerely hopes tha the committee appointed Saturday af ternoon to confer further with tn street car company. will De able | reach an agreement with the compan. , which will be agreeable to all and as sure the success of the project. w believe the asse ssed values would b the safest basis upon which to figurv ]. together with the consideration as :. increased values on personal prop I erty.
 Aside from any individual consic eration, the boost this would give to wards Greater Pine Bluff would, W believe. be surprising. and should tn extension be made. another big sta will be taken to boost Pine Bluff.

made close investigation Of the
rooms and found window opening ON
fire escape drawn up. In spite Of
this Thompson felt sure the jewelry
theft was an Inside job"
The detective then went away, but
returned to the Jones apartment
shortly before midnight on Saturday
and waited for Sarah. She came in
about 1880 o'clock on Sunday morn
ing. radiant with apologies for her
hardness in getting home. Thompson
asked Sarah many questions, but she
had an answer for every one. She
gave the names and addresses Of two
families she had visited during her alb
sence, and Thompson found she had
spoken the truth about this. He. how
ever, had a large bump Of suspicion.
and refused to believe all of the maids
story.
The detective spent a large part Of
yesterday about the apartment house,
working on the case. Late In the af-
ternoon a honeyed voice called up the
telephone operator and asked TO speak
to Missy Sally Claybone, subj" Thomp-
son, who was near by, grabbed the re-
ceiver and listened to the conversation
that followed.
The sleuth found that Moses Ander-
son, Of No "A West hath street,
! Sarah's sweetheart, was on the other
end Of the wire. The conversation be-
tween the maid and the sweet toned
Nose" convinced Thompson that hts
suspicious were correct.
Sarah Gives Back JeweIry.
He went back to the Jones apartment
and told Sarah she was under arrest.
The maid grumbled and said she had
given Mrs. Jones back her property.
Thompson asked Mrs. Jones about this
and was told the jewelry had been re-,
turned by Sarah, who said she hadf
taken 1t and put 1t In her room.
Thompson went to Sarah and told
her she was under arrest, charged with
grand larceny.
"Whut's dat you say, grand 1arcinny q
L told you 1 done return Ill tnat etuns
man-all the rings and such, but T
don't know as I ever see such thing
as a grand larcinny."
Having delivered herself Of this In
dignant outburst, Sarah went to her
room to get her hat and coat. Thomp-
son waited in the hall. Suddenly Sarah
dashed from her room, ran past Thomp-
son into the kitchen, and slammed the
door behind her. The door had snap
lock and Thompson had to break It
down before he could get In. Just a.
the door gave way beneath his weight
and he tumbled into the room. Sarah
| leaped through the open window.
When the detective reached the
courtyard Sarah was unconscious. She
had three broken ribs and internal In
juries, and was removed to the hoss
pital, prisoner. 1t was said she
might die.

BECKER Anglers SHERIFF
Didn't Offer to Hire Conveyance
to Prison, Hamburger Declares.

Sheriff hamburger pronounced as AN
unqualified lie" yesterday the assertion OF
Lieutenant Charles Becker to Warden
Kennedy, Of Sing Sing prison, that he had
volunteered to pay for the use of car
rage from the station at Ossining to the
prison for himself and the Sheriffs party
when the lieutenant was taken there.
Instead. Becker complained the Sherin
made him walk the whole way.
The subject came up through letter
which Colonel Joseph F. Scott, superin-
tendent OF Prisons, wrote to the Sheriff
in reply to the latters request for con-
yeyance. Colonel Scott reminded the
Sheriff that the state allowed mileage ior
every prisoner and the prison authorizes
had no Jurisdiction over prisoners until
they were brought into the prison The
Superintendent Of Prisons added that TOT
rs cents the Sheriff could have hired z
carriage at the station.
Sheriff Hamburger said: Lieutenant

that at a meeting on Monday night he had
been criticised by members OF the West
End Association for the delay In repaving
Riverside Drive from 72d street to 129th

cism was levelled at me-" said the Park
Commissioner, then say that such criti-
cism was highly unreasonable and I'M

Mr.. Slower said he had explained in fire.

how he had made appeals ever since he
became Park Commissioner for funds to

To have an attack made on him after ex-
plantations that he was unable to get the
funds from the Board Of Estimate was abb
solutely unfair.

Sarah, a buxom young woman, had
been employed by Mrs. Jones, whose
husband is a Wall Street broker, for

On that day Mr.. and Mrs Jones went

Sarah In charge. When they returned
