STOLE HORSE:
QUICKLY CAP TUREO

A horse thief was captured in Mill
Vile about 5 o'clock this morning, af-
ter an all nights automobile chase,
and the thief, John Cooper, is in jail.
Cooper has been working for Chas.
Nichols, in Sayres Neck. He gave out
that he was from Montana, when he
came to Nichols and wanted work on
the farm. Mr. Nichols gave him work
and he did all right. Saturday night
he was paid off and left, but with the
understanding that he would report
again Monday morning. He did not
come, but yesterday afternoon, about
o'clock, he came while all the FAM
lily was absent, went into the stable,
got the best horse, hitched it to the
buggy and drove away.
When this was discovered, State De-
tective Frank j. Lore was called up
and put on the trail, and he and Eu-
gene Laning and r. M. Hustled and Mr..
Nichols in automobiles, secured the
country, going as far as Gloucester af-
ter tracing all woods between, re-
turned to Millville and while coming
down the street, Lore saw the fellow
just coming from livery stable where
he had put up the horse, and spring
ing from the automobile, he captured
the man and brought him to this city.
VIM. J. Miller, who has the faculty
of generally being on hand when any,
thing happens where an extra auto
mobile is needed, had started out for
an early morning spin in his car, and
on Jefferson street, he met the captors
and the victim. Mr.. Laning had brok-
en- a spring of his car, and Mr.. Miller
came to the rescue with his car and
took Laning and Hustled to their
homes.
Cooper had been working for Mich
OILS about a month; he came there
from working with mules about D. D.
Coney's livery stable, and before that
had been working in Deerfeld.
Nichols and his neighbors, Hustled
and Laning, came to Bridgeton as soon
as the loss of the horse was discovered
and went to Prosecutor Fithian where
warrant was procured, and with de-
tective Lore, the chase was begun.
Cooper was first located at North
Port Norris, but when the pursuers got
there he had gone.
They then went to all the places
where they thought he might pass, but
no trace of the rig was found. When
they reached Gloucester, they were
certain they were ahead of the horse
thief. so they returned, coming down
by Glassboro and Newfeld; arriving
in Millville their search was rewarded
and Cooper was picked up opposite the
railroad station.
He had just put the horse up at the
opposite stable, giving order for him
to be fed, saying he would be back
for it in half an hour. The horse was

of glass sand was valued at $1,547,7 ,733,
an increase over the figures for 1910;
the sand used for building in 1911 was
valued at $7,7192S6, slight decrease
as compared with 1910. This was ac-
counted for by less activity in 1911 in
the building trades, including that Of
concrete construction. The production
of molding sand in 1911 was valued at
81, 1872, ,469, a marked decrease as COM
pared with 1910. The production of all
other sands is 1911, such as sand for
grinding and polishing, fire sand, en-
gine sand, and filtration sand, was
valued at $3,043.O12, an increase of
over a million dollars in value as COM
pared with 1910.

Increase of Suicides.

The leading cause of the increase of
suicide is the decay of religious re-
straints When self-slaughter was
reckoned deadly sin, even the most
desperate held back. To-day the pro-
hibition carries little weight with a
majority of the people. The modern
community cannot limit or lessen its
numbers, and cannot undertake the
teaching of religion as a public func-
ton. But the modern community can
cultivate and do much to improve So
cial discipline, can discourage the
growth of caste barriers which ham
per sympathy and dwarf mankind.
Work on these lines would soon
show a lowering of the tendency to
suicide. A growing tendency to dis
regard human life is one of the I'M
pleasant things Of modern civilization
While the murderer is reckless only of
the lives of others, the suicide is care
less OF his own.
Anything that dwarfs the individual
tends TO lower the estimate he puts or
his own life. Are VIC drifting toward
the Asiatic standard of old and bar
barous times when human life was the
cheapest of things?

Eight-year-old Raymond Ryan Is

mond c. Ryan. eight years old. of Is
p Street Northwest, stepped in the path
of an auto in front OF his home yester-
day afternoon and was run down, sus-
tanning injuries which may result in
death.
The child was picked up. placed in the
machine. and hurried to Freedmen's
Hospital, where physicians found he was
suffering from conclusion OF the brain.
shock and probably internal injuries.
After first aid treatment was given, the
child was removed to his home.
The auto is owned by c. L. Riordan, of
1872 East Capitol Street. He had tele-
phoned to the garage for the car. and a
mechanician was driving the machine to
the Riordan home. The driver saw the
Boy Scouts drilling. but thought he had
sufficient room to pass.
Just as he was about to pass the lads
the boys suddenly wheeled and young
Ryan stepped in front of the car. He
was knocked to the asphalt and was I'M
conscious when picked up. The lad is be-
ing attended by DR.. E. ]. Cunning and

time enough for those at the foot oil the
list of entrants to squirt forward to VIC

The Passport Controversy.

The negotiations that appear to be
in progress toward a new treaty be-
tween the United States and Russia
are still in very incomplete stage of
development; and the public knowledge
Of the conclusions to which they point
is largely speculative. That both gov
ernmcnts are anxious to maintain
friendly relations may be accepted as
a hopeful sign for the ultimate COM
position of all differences. There is
no disposition on the part of either
nation to take advantage of the tenn
porary absence of binding convention
respecting commercial exchange. 1t is
intimated that the application of the
maximum tariff rates to imports from
the United States will be held in abey-
ance by Russia or possibly indefinitely
postponed until satisfactory under
standing is reached upon other mat
tiers. 1t was no question of this char
acter that produced the recent diplo-
matte rupture.
But the one question upon which the
treaty was sbrogated appeared to be
still unsettled, and it seems to be NOR

WHOEVER KILLS
SELF WITH GAS
Henry Myers, a Carpenter, Brood
ing Over Wife's Death, Com
mits Suicide.

Broodlng over the death OF his wife.
Henry Myers. fifty-five years old. a car
penter of Baltimore, placed a rubber tube
between his lips. turned Illuminating gas
through It, and asphyxiated himself yes
terday afternoon in a rooming house at
2l6 Third Street Northwest.
Myers had been alone in the room
since early morning. but it was thought
he was sleeping until a servant detected
the odor Of gas. The servant tried TO
arouse the man, and then called Mrs.
Lena War, the landlady.
Mrs. War unlocked the door with
master key and found Myers on the
floor. She summoned an ambulance
from Emergency Hospital. DR.. Benja-
min NewhOuse responded and pro-
nounced life extinct. The body was
fully clad when found. Myers left no
note in explanation of his act.
In August last Myers rented the
room in the Third Street house. He
said his wife had died but a few
months before and seemed to grieve
constantly over her loss. He i3 be-
lieved to have two sisters and a
daughter living in Baltimore but the
police have been unable to locate them.
After an investigation Coroner hewitt
issued a death certificate in accordance
with the facts. The body is at the
mOrgue.

Fifth Avenue and the Skyscrapers.

One of the arguments brought for
ward in favor OF the plan TO put a
legal limit on the height of buildings
along Fifth Avenue in New York is
that the day OF the very tall building
is past Lenders of money for con-
struction purposes are said to be wary
of the skyscraper. They contend that
the congestion in its elevators and in
the street has wiped out its economic
advantages. Increased elevator space
means decreased income from rents
In many cases, it is said, the streets
have become so badly blocked with
traffic because of Capitalization of per-
sons and business in so many tall
buildings that rents have had to be
lowered to keep tenants. The supply
of Offices in New York also exceeds
the demand, just as it does in this city.
If building skyscrapers is no longer
profitable investment, as this argu-
ments holds, the need of legal restric-
ton upon height hardly is necessary.
The economic law should take care of
the matter without need of any enact
ment. As for Fifth Avenue, the gen.
eral proposition does not hold. The
idea of keeping skyscrapers off that
street, where there may be a special
demand for them, is to preserve It's
distinctive beauty.
1t may be fit for New York City to
adopt special policy about Fifth Ave
niue buildings, but the arguments which
govern the downtown section, and per-
haps to upper Broadway land, do not
apply to what New York wants to
preserve as its finest Show" street.

Commissary Building in the Arsenal at
the foot of FOur-and-a-half Street South

Responding to the ringing OF the fire
gong, the men turned out with parade
drill precision. unlimbered the hose car
riase in the little fire station. and start
ed on the dOuble-quiCk for the Com
m!ssary Building. Flames could be seen
through the windows, and it seemed the
whole building might burn.
Hose lines were quickly attached to
plugs. and in a few minutes several
streams OF water were being directed on
the blaze. An alarm was sounded from
Box No. IS. calling out Acting Deputy
Chief Dixon. with engine companies 4, Is,
and IS, truck 10, and the fire boat.
When the firemen arrived the soldiers
had the blaze under control. and the fire
companies did not go into action. The
blaze originated on the first floor, and
was confined to that floor. large
quantity of sugar was ruined by fire and
water. The damage is estimated at 81. 30

who was arrested several days ago in
Baltimore on a warrant sworn out by

ally impossible for this country TO re-
cede from the position it has taken.
This question involves not a class, but
American citizenship. The American
Jew must have his rights protected as
much as any other American citizen.
We recognize no religious distinctions
when men are admitted, to the civic
rights of the nation, and We cannot be
Indifferent to the refusal by Russia of
passports to American Jews. 1t is
said that the Cars government has al
ways held that such Jews, even though
Americans, were not entitled TO travel
or reside in Russia because the treaty
provided that any American seeking to
enter that country should submit to the
laws and ordinances there prevailing.
Such a provision, however, must be of
universal application. Any American
who visits Russia, whatever his race o.
religion, is expected to conform to its
laws If he docs not, he must take
the consequences, and to make an ex-
ception of Jew adopted into our ma
tionality can hardly be construed other
than as an affront TO our sovereignty.
1t is reported that the Cars govern
ment is not yet ready to concede this
point, though that is the bridge that
must span present differences. With
Russia it is evident that this is a mat
ter of prejudice more than principle.
With the United States it must be re-
garded as fundamental
