Burke's Remarkable Confession.

The Georgian prints in full, just as
he wrote it, the remarkable confession
of this most lemarkable man, who has
proven that a convict not only can but
will work out his own salvation and
rise to position of power and respect
ability in any community.
Il don't know where l started life,
Burke says in his confession. Il had
mother and father. but l never knew
who they were. | was just street
Arab and I started life selling papers
in New York
Il don't know when or where l was
horn. but | Judge I am around AZ or 43
years of age,
The first thing I recall is selling
newspapers as a kid in New York city.
eating where | could with the few pen
MES | made. and sleeping in doorWays
or any old place where the cops
wouldn't rap me with their night sticks.
I soon learned not to give cent for
any person.
When I got little older l fell in
with a bunch of gopher men or safe
crackers on the East Side Of New York
| lust met them naturally. l was ht-
teen or sixteen years old then and when
I wasn't selling papers l was hanging
around corners of the Bowery, Chat-
ham square or Park row.
1T was at this time that ! mixed up
with the 'gophers.' One of them spot
ted me and thought l would be handy
youngster to spot places for them to
crack.
Il would go into a place where safe
was supposed to hold good deal OF
money and say I was looking for po-
sitfon. Then l would get a line on the
interior OF the place. l would ascertain
at what hour the place closed at night
and if any person stayed after closing
hours. All Of this data l would give to
the 'gophers. and when they cracked a
safe | would get my percentage from
the receipts.
Becomes a Pickpocket
After a while l got tired of the
'sophers,' and l picked up with bunch
of .molI- buzzers, or the kind of pick
pocKets who go in for robbing women's
handbags and pocketbooks. l picked
pockets for quite a while. | opened
land snatched the handbags of many
women until the police began to gel

Island as anything All of my pals

u was living the life of a thief, the
life of man or woman who is either

New York got fairly warm for me
and l left the 'moll- buzzers' and fell in

H0lU Crook Became Honest Alderman
STORY OF A REAL VALJEAN
William Burke, of Philadelphia,
Tells How He Turned From
Life of Crime.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-When
Common Councilman William Burke.
one of the leading reform councilmen,
who represents the Thirty third ward
of this city, discovered he could not live
down a crooked past, wrote out his
resignation as member of PhiladeI-
phia's municipal law making body and
fled from the city, he probably had no
idea that his remarkable story would
produce the sensational effect 1t has.
Today all Philadelphia seems to be
striving to find some way to show the
criminal who turned honest" that the
mere fact that he ever was a criminal
is not going to be held against him,
and that all he needs to do is return
to the honorable place he mas made for
himself since he turned over new leaf.
and that the past will be entirely for
gotten.
According to his confession, Burke
was one of the mos notorious pick
pockets and second-stOrY men in the
country. Eight Years ago, after serv-
ing seven-year term in the Massa-
chusetts penitentiary, Burke turned
over a new leaf. He thought he had
lived down the past until he met a pris-
on pal on the streets of Philadelphia.
The pal knew Burke was a council
man, and he blackmailed the man who
had tried to reform out of every cent
he had in the world
With his last cent gone, Burke de-
cided to give up the fight. He sent his
resignation to President McCurdY of
the common council, wrote a long con-
fession, in which he gave dates, aliases
and convictions, and disappeared from
the city.
Every One Ready to Help.
Now, instead of finding himself alone
and frendless in the world, if he reads
the newspapers he will see that the
great mass of Philadelphians. from
! Mayor Blankenburg down. want to see
that he gets helping hand" of which
there are thousands stretched out to
aid him
Here are some of the things that may
be done for Burke if he returns:
He will be allowed to remain in cOun-
ellis and represent the ward to the best
of his ability.
Congressman Michael DOnOhoe, who
represents in the lower house the con-
gressional district in which is the ward
Burke represents in councils, has an
nounced that if there is no other way
to restore his citizenship to Burke he
will introduce measure in congress
restoring the reformed criminal to the
place in tie world which he lost by be-
ing convicted as d feIon when he en-
tered the Charlestown prison.
Several lawyers have telegrap pied
Governor Foss of Massachusetts asking
him to issue a full pardon to Burke.

gently seemed to be prying out his

John Boland went on with his

deserted his front. But of a sudden
from behind there came the demons

the whole world trembled. John Bo-

The shock of his landing complete

screams of fear to those of pain.

DOG WARNS MEN OF PERIL
MonereI Beast Saves Them From
Fire In a Tacoma (Wash.)
Livery Stable.

Tacoma, Wash.-Jack, a woolly
brown dog that has been mascot at
the Washington livery stable several
years. was the hero Of the fire by
which the stables and DR.. Charles
Baynes' horse, cat and dog hospital
were completely destroyed, IL horses
burned to death and three valuable
pedigreed dogs suffocated.
Jack saved the lives of three men
sleeping in the upper part Of the
stable. He emerged from the fire
burned and blistered, having dashed
through fierce flames to find means Of
escape, and leaped from a second
story window to the sidewalk. The
dog was swathed In bandages and
given a soft bed at the home of DR..
Baynes.
The pet dog, which is q mongrel, a
cross between a bull terrier and q
coach dog, was asleep on the main
floor of the stable on bed specially
prepared for him when the fire broke
out at 2:15 o'clock the other morning
The blaze spread rapidly and was dart
ing in every corner of the building
within so seconds after 1t started.
Jack jumped from his bed and dash
ed upstairs, where Anthony Lewtan,
o. T. Blaney and Arthur Bells, stable
men, were asleep. The dog barked
and barked without waking the men.
Then he jumped on the bed and took
Lewtan's hand in his teeth, nipping 1t
sharply in his effort to warn the men
of their peril
When Lewtan awoke the room was
filed with smoke and great tongues Of
fire could be seen sweeping toward the
open door. The dog continued to bark.
Lewtan hastily awoke Blaney and Bells
and the men, partially dressed, made
their way from the upstairs room to
the stairway leading to the main floor
of the stable.

safely within. It was about that time
that the entire neighborhoods forsook
their beds and began the turning in of
riot calls for the police. Patrolman
Charles Tickey, as brave a man as
ever wore a star, responded to the
call. Calamity he advanced toward
the woodshed. Less CALAMITY but In
the superlative speed, he suddenly be-
gan retreat. Three times Patrolman
Tickey bit the dust. The creature re-
sponsible once bit his leg and once
rammed a horn through the trouser
leg of his uniform. Then, with a final
"ba-a-a-a" of triumph, 1t turned and
gamboled of. Patrolman Tickey sat
up slowly and watched 1t disappear.
"a goat" he mumbled through his
chattering teeth; "only goat-a
blamed Angora goat"
Then he regained his feet, passed
his hand languidly over the most vul-
nerable point in his rear, and walked
to the wood shed.
"Ye kin come out nowl" he shouted
through the cracks; 'ye kin come out.
The damages did"

,arbaps they think peace is less impor-

RESPONSIBLE for the present conditions

President Madero said that a law
