Meanwhile Sharloff, who had been
with the youngest of his four sons on
trip to Manhattan, returned, and the
three other little boys, who had been
out at play, also came trooping home.
They found Mrs. Sharloff with her
head buried under the pillows and bed
coverings sobbing and moaning.
The police hope to locate the robber
by the scratches, bruises and bites
that Mrs. Sharloff inflicted on his
hands and face. A hairdresser said
that Mrs. Sharloff's hair which the
man carried off would easily bring

BROWNSVILLE, N. ", April H.
Shortly after she had lain down to take
nap Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Cert
rude Sharleff, wife of Joseph Sharloff,
shoe cutter of 1859 Prospect place,
Brownsville, was aroused by some one
knocking on the door. At the entrance
of their apartment, which is on the
second floor of the building, she was
confronted by man who said he was
gas inspector.
The man was admitted, and after
inspecting the meter, suddenly turn
ed on Mrs. Sharloff and demanded
that she turn over what money she had
in her possession, at the same time
pointing revolver in her face Mrs.
Shaloff drew from her dress wallet
containing $18 and handed it to the
man. AS he tucked it in his pocket
she made an effort to snatch it back,
whereupon the man seized her and
beat her brutality on the head wrist
and hands, while she in turn dug her

Ships OF Tresses.
Finally, tearing herself away from
his grasp, Mrs. Sharloff rushed to the
window of an adjoining room toward
fire escape, but the burglar over
took her and, Selling her by the hair,
jerked her down on the floor With
two towels, which he found on a chair,
and piece of rope, he securely bound
and gagged her. Then taking a pair
of scissors he proceeded to cut off her
hair, which for long time has ex-
cited the admiration of the neighbor-
hood because of it's peculiar tint and
sheen.
After beating Mrs Sharloff into I'M
consciousness, the burglar left the
apartment, locking the door behind
him. Recovering consciousness, Mrs. |
Sharloff finally managed to release her
self sufficiently to crawl to the door.
Finding herself locked in, she began
to weep and moan, and tried to at
tract the attention of some of the |
neighbors by knocking on the door
She was heard by Morris Frenkel |
and his wife, who live in the apart
ment above the Sharloffs. They man
aged to reach her by descending the |
rear fire escape leading past the win
dew of the room in which she had |
been left.

corralling OF southern delegations by New

contest the section was canvassed by the
friends of both aspirants, and the Nc
Kinley men had the best of it. But the

the battle at the polls was to be fought.
and it was that strength that counted
after Mr. Bryan had stirred the country
so profoundly on the subject of free
silver coinage.
Since then the republican conventions
have been love feasts. Mr.. Mckinley had
no opposition in 1900, and Mr.. Roosevelt
none In 1904, and while the rivals of
Mr.. Taft in 1908 were most deserving and

The Half-Fare Bill.

The president Of the Capital Traction
Company has entered against the pro-
posed half-fare rate for school children
the rather unique suggestion that 1t
would make too much business for the
lines to accommodate. This is not the
usual attitude of a transportation cor
poration. The crowding of cars over
present conditions would mean the carry
ing of many passengers who now walk.
That would be new business. Would 1t
involve the running of extra cars? Would it
add to the operating expenses 1-12 cents
1t is true. as Mr.. Hamilton states, that
the school children are on their way in
the morning at least at the same time as
the great majority of working people
and clerks headed for their places Of &C.
cupation. Against the suggestion that
the half-fare privilege would cause too
great crowding of the cars, 1t may be
urged that there are not enough cars now
on any Of the local lines during the rush
hours. and the addition of few thou
sand school children travelling on the
half-fare basis, who now walk to and
from school. would compel the adoption
of a more liberal schedule. Other cities
have the half-fare rate, and have rush
hours. and do not find the congestion to
be seriously great as compared with
Washington. This is a question that calls
for study. It's agitation now Is in line
with the general demand of the local
community for better street railway serv-
ice. and it is to be hoped that it will be
settled at this session by Congress with
nff 0h of he
pie and of the corporations, as well.
There would be material benefit to large
numbers Of people Of moderate means in
the grant Of a half-fare rate to school
children, and If it can be given without
injustice to the traction companies the
pending measure should be passed.

Mr.. BRYAN and Roorbacks.

What may be the feeling OF the old
fashioned tender and true Bryanite as
he reads today Of the changes of base or
Gov Wilson and Gov. Harmon. and of
43tters written and associations held by
those two leaders before the White House
began to figure in their calculations? Is
it not one Of satisfaction and of hope?
Can they help being a little tickled'
say, not only by the disclosures made.
but by those promised?
Gov. Harmon was once Clevelandlte,
and as such in antagonism to Mr.. Bryan
and all that the maker Of present day
democracy represented. He did nothing
in a corner. being a man of courage and
frankness. but much necessarily that MT.
Bryan and his friends do not recall at
this time with pleasure, and which IN q

against enthusiasm in Bryanite circles
Gov. Wilson was once a Cleveiandlte.
and, at the time, both spoke ana wrote

yest him as the right man to LEAD the

and 40 he was brought forward. But
now there are old letters and old asso-
Citations figuring to his embarrassment.
and more material of the same Kind IS
threatened.
How stands Mr. Bryan on such scores!
Who has any letters from or about MIN
that would injure him If his party should
again put its standard into his hands?
What old associations of his are quotable
against him today that have not peen
quoted times out of number? what could
have escaped the fine-tooth comb that was
used so industriously in 1896, 1900 ano

In a word, who is safe from the
effect of roorbacks as the man OF LIN
colng He has been In the public eye
continuously for nearly sixteen years
Even during the few months OF the
parker campaign he was more consplcu-
Gus than the candidate himself. He Is on
the stump or the lecture platform, or In
his newspaper office at home, all the
time 1t is probably true that he has SAID
more and retracted or explained less than
any other public man Of his generation
There may be thousands OF his letters IN
existence-he has personal friends ano
supporters in every state-and newspaper
files yield an abundance Of interviews
and speeches. and yet it is not likely that
\ word printed now from either source
would embarrass Mr.. Bryan in the slight
est measure.
Proof against roorbacks is not the
highest recommendation for candidate.
but II is something; and the devoted
Bryanites may yet play the card In
game where roorbacks and old records
are being dealt right and left.

Charity and Confidence.

1t would probably have been much bet
ter had the first inquiry regarding the
disposition Of the school charity funds
voiced at recent meeting of the board
Of education been made quietly rather
than in terms of virtual public accusa-
ton. 1t is a serious matter to question
the integrity or good faith Of those who
are engaged in administering the city
charities. Such works are conducted
strictly upon the basis of confidence. and
1t Is greatly to the credit Of the local
community that it has shown its trust
In those who have been designated to
care for the preventive and constructive
work of charity administration. A few
years ago this question was raised pub
licly and searching investigation was
conducted by the District Commissioners,
with the result of a complete exoneration
Of the recognized charitable agencies and
their full establishment In public conf
dence in all respects. 1t is really incon-
ceivable that money should be collected
Tor specific purpose. the buying of shoes
Tor poor school children, and then turned
into the administrative fund of the char
ity organization. Whenever call Is made
upon the people for money for any par
ticular purpose it can be definitely as
sumed that it will be spent for the speci-
fed objects. Thus, for example, the TOUR
teen opportunities recently laid before
the people of Washington were subscribed
for generously In practically full amount,
and there is not the slightest question
that every penny given for those desis-
mated purposes will be expended for them
and for no other object. This is the
foundation Of effective charity work. to
keep faith, and 1t is unfortunate that 1T
should be necessary from time to time to
meet ill-founded criticisms and to answer
unwarranted questions regarding the
manner in which particular trusts have,
been discharged. The explanations and
statements of those at the head OF the
Associated Charities work have definitely
met the questions raised in satisfactory
manner, but they should not have been
required

NOR also has II that he is opposed to the

All the country is before Mr.. Perkins

weather enables man TO get about
easily. and whether his purpose be BUSH
cess or politics he can see many persons

II Mr. Perkins business is politics he
might do well to take thought before
going thoroughly or extensively into it..
The south will not make the nomination

folly for the republican leaders to permit
such q thing. Outside of the border
states. there are no possible electoral
votes for the party in that section.
Whether the candidate nominated and
the platform adopted at Baltimore be
conservative or progressive. what is
called the solid south will go democratic
beyond all question. 1t would be i'm
possible for the republicans at Chicago
to make an appeal strong enough to
change the situation.
Why. then. should the south figure as

should she be permitted to do so under

"But-what about Henry watterson?'
"Now don't bother about Watterson.
He's an old hand at politics, and can take
care OF himself. For my part. I'm glad
he's a party to the shindy. He'll make II

"And yet he seems to have tried the
role of. "a peacemaker.'
: Certainly. and with the usual reward.
Unlucky are the peacemakers, for they
inherit the smuggling. But don't waste
any sympathy on Watterson. The warmer
the corner the better he likes it. Let us
be thankful that he's inside the ropes
with the gloves on. We are certain to
get the worth of our money"
DO you suppose this estrangement is
permanent
''Why should 1t be? Is there a more
adjustable man In our politics than Gov.
Wilson? A year or so ago he was pro-
posing that Mr.. Bryan be knocked into
a cooked hat. and yet today he is as
chummy as you please with the peerless
leader and most anxious to become his
legatee."
You think. then, he may get right
again with Harvey and Watterson?"
My dear boy, If Wilson is nominated
and elected President we may see him
send Col. Harvey as ambassador to Great
Britain and call Henry Watterson to the
cabinet table. He'll want good men, and
they are good I'll GO bail for WatterSon
