than the manner in which this particu-
lar man has bucked up and within a
comparatively brief period changed
the personnel of the sailors to as fine
as that of any in the world.
Here is an example worth repeating
Six years ago an officer, who is now on
board the cruiser Washington, was in
charge Of liberty party Of ESQ men in
New York who had shore leave for
twenty-four hours. At the expiration
Of that time less than half Of them
were in fit condition to return to the
ship. They had gotten themselves
into all sorts Of trouble. Last summer
the same. officer took an equal number
Of men ashore at New York. II was a
liberty party in exactly the conditions
Of the previous one. But it served to
illustrate what a change had taken
place in the navy in these compare
lively few years. Every man returned
to the landing at the appointed time.
Instead of passing their time brawling
about, as had been the fashion in the
time before, 1t was ascertained that
these men had attended theaters and
gone to the museums--in short had
seen the city in the way any ordinary
red.blooded Citizen might who had
that interval to spend in New York.

And about q million other bees did

LOBBY was becoming very warm,

Fortune Awaits New York Girl II She

Must Give Approval.

New York-Fearing that the large
sum Of money" she bequeathed to her
granddaughter might attract inccm-

Mrs. Caroline Falconer Butterfield
provided in her will that the grand
daughter may never marry Nc
Keague, and that when she does mar
ry the man she chooses must meet
with the approval Of at least four OF
the FIVE trustees of the estate. The
girl bound by this odd codicil of the
Butterfeld will, which was filed in
New York city, recently, is Miss Dor
othy Billiard Smith. She is just bios
soming into womanhood and has spent
most Of her life in London.
Six codicils in the will are devoted

g. hasty marriage, advising that she
consult her mother. She Is warned
never to marry a McKeague. 1t APP
pears the grandmother was former
friend of Mrs. McKeague. None OF
the three McKeague boys have ever

If the codicil is broken the money set
aside for Miss Smith goes to six char.

Miss Smith will enjoy the income
from the Butterfield estate until she
is thirty when 1t will come into her
own right, unless she marries not In

no more than five or six abandon

The plan is to take impressions OF
the fingers Of all infants born in public

abandonments. These finger prints are
filed on cards, together with minute
descriptions of the mothers Of the in
fants. If after leaving the hospital an
infant is abandoned, a finger print Is
Immediately taken and the files are

If the finger print is identified, the

New York.-The natural assumption
would be that in the safeguarding Of
