With Maurice Lawrence on
that ticket was no less a person
than Frederic Greer, now presi-
dent of the county civil service
commission, by grace of Andy
Lawrence.
The charges against Tansey
will be heard before Maurice
Lawrence's old associate en- the
Hearst private ticket.
Then there is Tansey himself.
Tansey is publisher of the Demo
cratic bulletin. AS such he has
fought Andy Lawrence ever since
Lawrence wished himself on
Cook county Democracy.
Tansey is a young man. He is
Sullivan Democrat. He also is
closely tied up with his chief,
Robert M. Sweitzer.
Also, although this is inconse-
quential IN the main, and import
ant only because it shows how the
charges hurt, Tansey was mar
ried two weeks ago.
Tansey says he can explain the
$500 check, and produce three
witnesses to back up his explana-
ton.
He says that February 7 last,
Maurice Lawrence came to him in /
the county court and asked him to
cash a check for $500.
1t is quite customary for per-
sons around the county building
to cash checks through the cash
Ter of the county court.

Ito back this up.
The cancelled check is endors-
ed by Tansey in writing, and by
Robert M. Sweitzer by rubber
stamp.
If that check was bride money,
Tansey and Sweitzer were drivel-
ing idiots to endorse it like that.
Sweitzer points to the rubber
stamp endorsement as proof that
the check merely went through
his office in the regular way.
It was said at the county build
ing today that the real man back
of Maurice Lawrence's charges is
Tom Johnson, who is a sort of
special assistant county attorney
for Andy Lawrence.
But whoever is back of Maui

Baltimore, Md, June 25.-Tam-

opponents as Silent Charley" the
Jig medicine man among the leaders
of the Democratic party, whose in
ttuence is sought by all factions for
their candidate, for his influence
counts for very, very great deal
who is he and how does he do it?
These are questions that thousands
of curious visitors to the Democrat
National Convention ask each other.
The delegates, even those who do not
know Charles Francis Murphy by
sight, do not need to ask. They know
him by reputation and they have seen
the results of his work.
He is silent. No blanketed chief of
the great Indian tribes surpasses the
loss of the Tiger adherents in matters
of loquaciousness. Talk is cheap,
saps the old adage, and no one ever
accused the Tammany chieftain of be-
ing cheap" From his start as a
poor tenement boy, a product of the
Gas House district in New York, he
is now rated as a millionaire.
He Learned to Know Men.

has more than lived up to it. Through
his "a years of battling with a world
where everything he got he acquired
by sheer perseverance and a determ-

forgotten his early surroundings
Without shame he refers to his early
life when, as a bartender and saloon
keeper, he first began to attract the
notice of New York politicians.
Today that same bartender, who
made his first fortune through his
several saloons. has but little use for

DEPLORES MARRIAGE LAWS
Woman Physician Says Lepers Are
Permitted to Enter WedIOck.

Washington, D. c., June 25.-Dr.
Filth B. Lowrey-Lambert, speaking
before the National Electric Medical
Convention today deplored what she
termed the lax marriabe laws in the
United States. She said:
Even the lepers of the colony
maintained by the United States are
allowed to marry and beget their
kind to become further burdens to
the country"
The association adopted a resolu-
ton providing for raising funds to
prevent state legislatures from pass
ing laws injurious to the eclectic
branch of the medical profession.

It is their place to enter and enjoy The member has good reading, good sports and above all good Christian association ''
 That is what J. C. Van der Las. a member of the has to say of the things it has done for him. He evil dently likes a home place, where he can feel he is welcome He finds in the Y the proper spirit of comradeship that in the case of the man who has no real home with relatives of his own, takes the place of association with brothers, sisters and parents
 Just such expressions are heard every day. now the stimulus of man agement has been given to the desire to aid the membership increase cam paign. All the boys at the Y have something of the sort to say. and many are saying it to friends, in the hope their good word will result in more fellows joining to get the benefit of the splendid organization.
 As one expresses it, "The Y takes the place of club. school and what is even better, home to me"
 When seen through the eyes of men who study the development of char acter, the Y. M C. A is more than d place for physical building. comfort and pleasure. It is a school of broth erhOod. Its lessons are taught in the most natural way in the world, which is by simple association with good fellows Possibly it may be construed. there is no place in the Y for men who have homes. But there is a mis- take. A man never finds diversified companionship with men at home. He is never able to mingle with his fel- lows in numbers at his own house. But in the rooms of the ' he meets the best and most appreciatiVe ele- ment of his community. If he is will ing to take part in the activities of Y M. C.

cost within the means of the average amateur, but the resulting pictures are actually clearer and sharper than those produced in the ordinary way by the use of moving film of Celluloid.
 In accomplishing these astonishing results Bettini has exactly reversed the principle of the usual moving picture machine, in which the film travels back of the lens from spool to spool. His photographs are made i'll series on a glass plate, which is held rigid. while the lens itself moves
 The glass plates used in the Bet tini machine measure eight and one half inches in length by five and cne-half inches in width. The photo graphs taken in series on this plate are only five siXteenths of an inch in width by one-quarter inch in depth Tn this way sixteen consecu- tive pictures appear in a line, and on each plate there are thirty six lines making a total of 576 images The photographs are taken at the rate Of twelve or more a second as the lens travels to and fro.
 The cost of a plate of this kind is four cents, while a celluloid film long enough to carry the same num- Der of pictures costs $1.50. The Bet tin camera is sold for less than one third as much as the regular nov ing picture camera, and it is also used in connection with an ordinary stereopticon, for reproducing the pie lures, thus saving further expense for apparatus.
 In the use of the Bettini repre- ducing apparatus one glass plate may be displayed without an interruption.

This oasis of safety in the Bronx at 1SOth street owes it's immunity to the fact that it shelters five police ser geants and three policemen. Burglar insurance men even shun this block cOnceding that the moral influence of so much concentration of the majesty of the law is sufficient to discourage even a New York burglar. Police mems Row the block is called and, per haps for the purpose of mutual pro lection, others of the rank and file of the department are eagerly awaiting a chance to secure houses Their chanc- es are not of the brightest however, since civilians fortunate enough to be domicled in the one safe block in New York are slow to move.

 OVER CROWDED
At the Opening of the Year There Is a Lack of Ac- commodations for Nearly One Hundred Thousand Pupils

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-The opening of the public schools in this city this week has brought Father Knicker- booker face to face with the fact that the lack of educational facilities here has reached such a point that the pu
 pills who cannot receive proper ac- commodatiOn now number a larger to- tai than the entire population of any except the fifty largest cities as shown by the last census. More than S5,000 children it is now apparent will have to get along with part-time education and it is possible that this number may exceed the 100000 mark thus making the number which cannot be properly cared for about equal to the entire population of Albany. The school population of this city is now the largest in the world and is rapid ly approaching the 100000 mark. Ev cry fall shows an increasing difficulty in providing adequate educational fla cilties in spite of the most strenuOus efforts, ~but the situation as it exists this year has brought home in a partic- ularly startling manner a realization of the need of more schools and teach 'l9' NllH hedIlE IUu,uUO HOuuSSlSIo who cannot be properly accommodated, the city is confronted by most diff cult problem That a situation under which potential pupils equal to the population of the state capital cannot be properly accommodated can con- tinue seems incredible, but the fact increasing for years.
