LEES SURRENDER DATE.

Yes, I'm the old out Of date who
lives more in the past than in the
present." said veteran few days
ago and | quite enjoy it. Look at
this picture
"Fifty-two years ago on April 9 an
obscure man in a little Illinois town
was working for $50 month. Four
years later to day the same man, no
longer obscure, had command of ,000,-
600 armed men and was the greatest
general of his time.
"Forty-eight years ago the forenoon
of April 9th Gen. Grant received the
surrender of Gen. Lee and his army
and ended the greatest war of modern
times.
"One of the proofs of Gen. Grants
greatness was given that day. When
he handed back to Gen. Lee the
sword he would surrender and told
his soldiers to keep their horses-they
would need them in making crop,
and them directed his commissary to
issue to Lees soldiers all the rations
they needed. And that was forty
eight years ago.
Chow many today think what that
victory meant to the nation and the

Only One Way to
END CATARRH

Reach the raw, tender, infiamed
membrane infested with Catarrh
germs, and destroy them.
You can't reach the hooks and crew
ices with liquid preparations there is
only one way-breathe the germ de-
stroying air of Booths HYOMEI (pro-
nounce it High-o-me) directly over the
infamed and germ infested membrane.
HYOMEI contains no opium, CO.
caine or other harmful drugs, it is a
balsamic air made of Australian
eucalyptus, thymol, and some Lister
ian antiseptics. 1t is guaranteed to
end the misery of Catarrh and Group
or money back. It's fine for Colds
and Coughs.
Ask W. w. Albers about Booths

tion to be chosen on a cold, rainy day.
it was discussed this afternoon in the
Passaic Boat Club by William j..
Krauth and George Stumpf, Stumpf de-
claring that he was more proficient
than Krauth.
Krauth replied that Stumpf wasn't
anything Of the kind, so they decided
TO have test. They donned bathing
suits and plunged into the unroof"d
sewer facetiCusly known as the Pas
sale River.
They swan for quarter or mile
TO the Manhattan Short Line Bridge
and then back again, Krauth winning
by about two feet. When enough OF
the mud had been blasted off Stumpf
TO permit him to speak he said that
the race should be swan over again.
And, to point out what the Passaic

they agreed to have another race on
New Years Day, no matter what the

WIRE TAPPERS' STORIES
KEEP WHITMAN BUSY
Three New Confessions Materi-
ally Strengthen Cases Against
High Police Officials.
OTHERS WILLING TO AID
Men Under Suspicion at Head
quarters Said to Have Sold
Real Estate Holdings Pre-
paratory to Flight.

Three new confessions were added
yesterday 10 the two already recorded
on Mr.. Whitman's books in his investl-
cation into the wire-tapping graft by
which high police officials at Headquar-
ters are alleged to have realized mu-
nificent incomes from the easy money
gentry in return for protection in their
profession Of plucking the unwary.
Mr. Whitman and his assistant. Fred
erick Groehl, put in a busy day as re-
suit Of offers that came TO them from
volunteers who were willing 10 tell all
they knew, and by nightfall Mr.. Whit
man said he had information which
materially strengthened the cases
against the officials under suspicion
and opened up the trail wider than ever
directly into Headquarters. The new
informants were able TO give concrete
dates and facts that dovetailed in
nicely with information already in the
District Attorneys possession.
Two Of the men who made state
mcnts Yesterday went to Mr.. Whit
mans home in their willingness to tell
all they knew, having previously com
rnunicated their desire 20 do so by tele-
phone. Mr.. Groehl interviewed them
first and was so impressed with their
stories that he asked them to accom-
rany him TO gee Mr.. Whitman, with
whom they went over the information
they had to give in detail.
The information corroborated closely
the story previously told by George Nc
Rae. the first to "squeal, particularly in
respect to his contention that monthly
stipend of s250O was paid to a high Of
fetal at Headquarters in return for his
friendship" while a rake-off Of 10 per
cent was paid to one Of his subordi-
mates as an honOrarum for his kindly
services.
The third man, whose confession was
obtained yesterday, did not venture to
Mr.. Whitman's home, but he had a
conference with Mr.. Groehl outside.
and told q consistent story Of the oper-
ations of the police wiretapper graft
ring.
In addition to this, Mr.. Whitman re-
ceived overtures from others expressing
willingness to come in and confess.
Mr.. whitman agreed to listen to what
these new volunteers had to say to-day.
The identity Of the new informers
was not disclosed lest an opportunity
be given the men under suspicion to
get To them" by intimidation or
other means.
one big result Of the days work was
that Mr.. Whitman is now placed in
so strategic a position that he can
use his own discrimination in picking
out the informers TO whom immunity
will he granted in return for their tes-
timony.
The willingness of some Of the big
men i'm the wire-tapping traffic to tes-
tjfy was tinged with motives OF self
nreseryation. in that they thought by
helping the District Attorney in the
present situation they could get him to
drop the cases pending against them
