Police War on Pawnshops.

Inc ponce commissioners Oh the titN
have issued a request to the council
to restrict the number of pawnshops
i'm the city to six. There are at this
time more than a dozen of these places.
and they have given the police no end
of trouble. The fact is that several
of the shops have been for long time
little else than repositories for petty
thieves and others who engage in ne
farious work. 1t is a matter of record
that few months ago one of the es-
Establishments was raided and large
quantities of stolen goods We're FOUND,
having been taken from large store
and sold to the proprietor of the pawn
shop at ridiculously low prices. The
tags had not even been removed. the
keepers of these places refuse To give
the police any information when
suspicious cases come to them anu ian
to make report when stolen property.
reported and described by the police Is
offered them by the thieves.
The penitentiary has arranged with a
St. Louis clothing company to employ
the 500 convicts in the state penitentiary
at rate of 50 cents day for the men
and 30 cents for the women. about double
the prices which have for years been
paid by the Thatcher Shoe Company OF
Boston which has been working some
l. 100 or more of the inmates There is
growing sentiment here against the
working of the convicts at any trade
or business which will conflict with free
labor and place the contractors at an
advantage ever the concerns which EN-
ploy free labor and pay reasonable
wage. The new contractors will manu-
facture overalls and working trousers for
men. The concern has been working
conVicts in Missouri for some years, but
the system has been abolished.
Reaumur &. Stearnes. superintendent of

MINISTER IN TROUBLE.
Accused Has Trouble Pending Church
Trial. in Chicago. I


Broadway, N. j., Aug. 25.-Because
of a written confession that Harry
Smith, treasurer of the trustees and
head of the stewards Of the Method
ist Church, of Broadway, obtained
from Miss Bertha Van Sycle, the Rev.
Harry W. Farraday pastor of the
church, has been suspended pending
a trial.
Miss Van Sycle is fifteen years old
the prettiest girl in Broadway, and
looks like young woman of nineteen
She is the daughter of Frank Van
Sycle, who is employees by cement
company at Easton, Pa, not far from
Broadway.
The Rev. Mr.. Farraday moved his
family from Newark to Broadway in
April last, after he had been ordained,
and Broadway was given 10 him as his
first pastorate. He continued TO work
at his collection business in Newark,
and spent couple of days week at
the parsonage with his wife and fam
lily.
The family Of the minister went to
Ocean Grove some time ago, and on
August 10 two members of the con-
gregation complained to Mr.. Smith
hat they did not like the appearance,
of things at the parsonage in the alb
sence of Mrs. Farraday when the min
.ster came up to preach. The name
of the Van Sycle girl was used, and
Smith says that he decided to inves-
tigate, did investigate, and obtained
written confession from the child that
there had been misconduct.
This, he says, he presented to Pre-
siding Elder Cole, with the result that
a meeting of the trustees of the
church was called, and it was decided
that charges should be preferred and
the minister suspended pending the
hearing Of them.
The Rev. Mr.. Farraday is thirty
five years old.

70 marking the formal opening OF the
Panama Canal by the celebration Of
the panama-Pacifc Exposition in San
Francisco in 1915, Secretary of the
NAVY Daniels, is now at work on a
plan to further perpetuate the mem
orv of that year by holding naval
paceant, the like of which has never
been seen in the history of the world
The Secretary of the Navy is pre-
paring to issue formal invitation to
al the nations of the world to sena
the greater part of their fleets to
Hampton Roads, Va, in February or
March 1915, to steam through the
Panama Canal and up the Pacific
Coast to San Francisco, remaining
in the harbor for a month before re-
turning home.
The full immensely of this scheme
does not appear at first glance, but
consider the sights afforded by all the
fleets of the world at anchor OH 1he
Virginia Capes, their sleek sides sllst-
enine with white "peace paint" then
banners, their guns cased IN the Var'-
colored tarpaulins, affected by Vne
various nations, and smoke from their
tunnels curling lazily upward as their
sailors call from deck to deck. IL Will
be a spectacle such as the ~orid mas
never seen and such as may not De
witnessed again.
The invincible Spanish armada would
be as collection of fishing boats to
this great world fleet. The most 1or-
midable navy of any single nation
would be powerless against the at
tack of one-ffth of this vast gather
ing. The combined broadsides OF this
feet could lay in crumbling ashes the
entire city of New York, while the
feet lay off shore out of reach OF tho
