Mother and Daughter
To Live Quietly in North.

Her mother stayed by her constantly
and the medicine her nurses gave her
literally finally brought sleep. though
she could hardly rise late today.
Before she goes to Philadelphia to
lease her house there and recOup in
some sort her funds, which have been
events leading up to it, Mrs. Grace
visited her lawyers offices to set
tie up the injunction case that still
Company. She will go TO Phiiadel-
phia tomorrow unfettered by legal
trouble for the first time since she was
arrested, charged with shooting her
husband in the Eleventh street house
last March.
The mother and daughter will reside
there quietly. No plans for Mrs Grace's
return to Atlant have been made, but
she viii not be seen here again for
months, at least.

crowd than has ever greeted a president
upon his visit 10 this CITY.
Finally Gains Rest
And Solitude.

Her room in the Kimball was watched
night and day; not visitor came or
vent without Interrogation. only when
public interest was slowly ebbing away
was she permitted to hide herself in
la private West End home and gain rest
in solitude
Mrs. Grace was keeping her secret
through all her ordeal according to the
promise she says she made her hus-
band on that fateful day. But from the
offices Of her counsel there came forth,
day after day, a mass OF accusation
against Eugene Grace, stories of his
college days. his wild dissipation. his
evil associates. There came forth let
tiers to prove that he had married the
widow of Webster Opie before the first
blades of grass had sprung up on
Opie's grave. Later there came the
story that she had not married him at
all; that Eugene Grace had deceived
her by a false ceremony in New York,
and that it vas not until the following
MAY that n real ceremony in New Or
leans made them legally man and wife.
The family Of Eugene Grace was not
spared in this arraignment of the hus-
band. Every fact or theory which
would serve TO turn the tide Of senti-
mcnt in favor Of the wife was given to
the world. And it had it's effect.

OF two sturdy trees of evil fruit-the
secrecy of police records and the
twisted notion of loyalty to the force"
among the thousands of honest police
men who make up the great mass of
the city's protectors. Hundreds of
honest policemen who would not take
cent of graft under any circum-
stances, will not bear testimony
against a known and merciless crook
because he is a member of the force.
No one believes that any one of the
half dozen or more uniformed men in
the vicinity of the Hotel Metropole

Whitman says, the efforts of the police

Secrecy of Records Helpful.
But it is the secrecy of the records
Of the department that is the greatest
shelter of the system 1t is this that
gives comfort to those whom pub
Lefty would quickly destroy. 1t is this
that at once fosters and conceals the
alliance between the lawless in the
department and the lawless outside. 1t
is this that permits the system to
make and unmake law, by enforcing
or not enforcing it, and to hold in
absolute bondage the denizens of the
underworld. And it is this that makes
it possible for Il lieutenant of police to
command murder at will

Accused Policeman Welded Influence Greater in Many

Greatest Department in America

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The probers
into the assassination Of Herman Ros-

workings of the System" which decreed
his death, STOOD aghast today at the
marvellous power Of the police strong
arm squad by which Becker, a mere
lieutenant, welded an authority great
er in many respects than properly be-
longs to the chiefs OF the force. Slow
ly but surely the methods of the sys-
tenn are being brought to light.
The probers have shown that Becker,
now in Jail for completely in the plot
against Rosenthal, who had "squeaIed"
on the strong arms graft levy. could
not only collect hundreds Of thousands
of dollars Of graft money every year.

and captains the head of the Strong
arm squad" is now the man the crook
is obliged to see" The old famed
power Of the ward man has been trans
ferred in the Waldo administration to
the man who had authority to raid
gambling houses over the heads of
captains and inspectors.
And the whole fearsome situation is
epltomized by Becker himself in the
statement he made to the gambler po-
lice go-betWeen, Rose when the latter
asked him why he did not go out for
a big job in the department:
'Im right where / want to be" is
Becker's quoted reply. After | have
a couple years more of this I'll set

troll the gambling situation. by set

1t is in some such way that "the Sys-

monster is ever to be slain at all.
BY this move Commissioner Waldo
did not break up the system. He did
not even seriously embaryass it. He

DR.. Hartman Writes

Columbus. Ohio. July 15.-In reply
TO many letters about my recent article
on catarrh and constipation I wish to
make the following statement:
Constipation is becoming more prev
alent every day. Nearly one-half Of
the human family are troubled with it
more OF less. This fact presents a Sc
rious complication in the treatment Of
chronic disease.
Thirty years ago when I was pre-
scribing Peruna every day only small
fraction OF the people needed a laxative
But I have found by experience that
more and more laxative must be
used.
Peruna originally contained no lax
alive element. I used to prescribe the
laxative Manalin to be used in case a
laxative was needed. This necessi-
tated the patient buying two bottles
Of medicine instead of one.
As constipation became more gen
eraI I finally concluded to add a laEa-
tive element to Peruna. The new Pc
runa is made Witu a laxative ingredi-
emit The old Peruna (Ka-tar-no) is
without a laxative. On that account
some prefer the old Peruna, some pre-
fer the new Peruna-
The new Peruna is for people who
have some catrrhal ailment and yet
need a laxative. Sold at all drug stores.
The old Peruna (Ka-tar-no) is for
those people who have some catarrhal
ailment but need no laxative.
Those wishing to procure the old Pc
runa should address the Ka-tar-no Co.,
Columbus. Ohio. for further particu-
advertisement.

woman EXPECTS
TO Re ACQUITTED
CONTINUED from previous page)-

country hotel waitress, had married
Before Raymond married the attrae-
tive waitress he found much pleasure
in the society Of Matte Hackett- He
took her driving. And in many other
ways he manifested his interest IN
her. But the girl was preparing 70
equip herself as a stenOgrapher ana
had no time for serious thoughts OF
love.
Nevertheless, 1t is said. whenever
her name was mentioned in the pres
ence Of Mrs. Raymond, the latter would
give way to a wild and unreasonlnS
Jealousy And if her husband men
toned the girls name she would al
most go beside herself.
Suspicion Points TO Woman.
This situation, together with the
fact that a womans footprints were
found near the spot where the Hackett
girl met her death, are the circum-
stances on which most of the suspl-
cfOn, so far as the public is concerned
rests.
This suspicion was a strong. tan
gible thing. Mrs. Raymond felt its re-
leutless held until she almost went
mad But the officers Of the law re-
fused to arrest her until something
more substantial was found against
her.
And it was not until last April that
the authorities found sufficient evil
dence to justify the arrest of the un-
happy woman. It is the testimony OF
q man who claims to have seen a Wom-
an near the place where the glrl was
killed on the night OF the MURDER ne
thinks he can identify the woman. His
name is not disclosed and in the mean
time Mrs. Raymond is waiting impa-
tiently for her trial
She seems to have nothing to FEAR
from this man.
Damaging Circumstance.
The circumstance which her accus-
ers point out as the most damaging
to her is the fact that she was absent
from her home on the night OF the
murder from 7:45 until 10 o'clock.
She admits this. And so does her
husband, who has never faltered mo-
ment in his loyalty to her.
On the night Of the tragedy she says
there had been words between her nus
band and herself. Not q quarrel, but
sufficient unpleasantness to cause her
TO hide in the garden at the back OF
their house for two hours.
She did this, she says, to see if her
absence would cause her husband any
concern, whose love she was begin
ming to doubt
Mrs. Raymond, at that time. had
been married about year. She was
about to become a mother. It is likely
this fact will be used by the defence
as account for her hiding in the gar
den.
Another point the defence will raise
is the fact that the Hackett and Ray
mond homes were two miles apart at
the time of the murder. Also that a
long, steep hill interviewed between
the two homes. The contention will
be that it would have been a physical
impossibility for Mrs. Raymond, in her
condition. to have walked to the Hack
EFT home within a half hour which
she would have to have done, since
the murder occurred between $40 and
$3.50 and she was at her home talking
with her husband, as late as 7:45.
So far as the footprint is concerned,
It does not tally perfectly with Mrs.
Raymond's shoe. IT is likely, there
fore, that this bit of evidence viii be
Valueless.
