financially In New York city. but re

young woman Ia locked up here charg-

Call me Mrs. Abbie L. Moulton-
that will suffice" blandly remarked
the well gowned slip Of a girl to the
detectives. While she told the police
she is twenty-five years old she looks
not more than eighteen. but by her
conversation and manner 1t Is clearly
evident that she has enjoyed the ad-
vantages OF education and extensive
travel and has been accustomed to the
luxuries Of a cultured home.
Only once. and only for an instant
then, did she betray signs of breaking
down. and that vas when the police
questioned her about her mother. She
shed tears for an instant and said;
'Oh. don't ask me about her. for this
will kill her. She Is prominent in so
ciety. This will break her heart and
drive her into seclusion and shame"
Then the girl became calm again and
d~efantly refused to talk about herself.
Expect to Solve Forgery Mystery.
The police believe that through the
arrest they win solve the mystery OF
many checks forged for large sums In
New York and Philadelphia. The pris
oner made biweekly and weekly trips
to New York and Philadelphia and
each time returned with new gowns
expensive hats and a purse bulgini
with banknotes Of large denomlna
lions. She returned from New York

Of gowns and hats.

important Measures to be
+! introduced in Legislature.
tFrow tire NEWS co-respondent.)

Trenton. Jan. 2o:-With a lot o
important bills already in theil
hands, the New Jersey lawmakers
will receive another batch of bis
measures next Monday evening wheI
the two Houses will convene for tht
second week Of the session. This
Democratic members of the legisla.
ture understand that Governor Viii.
son 10 anxious to see the session
move along as rapidly as Is consist,
ent with proper consideration of the
bills, and SO this week will see a lot
Of push in the legislative halls.
There are a series of administra-
ton measures embodying the recon-
mendations of the governor that
have not yet appeared. Some OF
these bills will be put in Monday
evening and the balance probably
later this week. The program of the
Democratic leaders in the two
Houses is to meet Wednesday this
week, and possibly Thursday. This
will be an improvement over past
years, the custom having been to ad-
journ on Tuesday for the balance of
the week until the session vas near
ly half over, thus wasting much time.
Here are the main recommends
tons of the governor for which bills
are being drafted and which may be
looked for this week:
Corporation reform.
Regulation of investment concerns
for safeguarding investors.
Tax reform.
Home rule for municipalities.
Uniform accounting for towns and
cities.
Extension Of practical farm and
forest demonstration work to sup
plement the theoretical work of the
agricultural schools.
Economy and efficiency In state
government.
1t is expected that the corporation
and tax reform bills will be intro
duced Monday evening. The former
will provide for changing the cor
poration laws of the state so as to
prohibit holding companies on the
ground that such companies are the
foundation Of the building of tho
huge trusts; for the prevention Of
the Issuing OF securities by corpora
lions except they represent real
value OF property owned by the cor
poration Issuing them, or in other
words prohibiting the stock watering
which has become a national scan
dial, and much of which 1t Is claimed
has been fostered by the New Jersey
corporation laws as they now stand.
The tax bills will provide for radi-
cal changes in the taxing and assess
ment system of the state along the
line of the recent report Of the State
Tax Commission. Governor Wilson
made no specific recommendations
on this question. He referred to the
fact that the present system is the
result of mere patchwork and lacks
system and %coherance altogether"
He called attention to the investiga-
ton of the State Commission and
then pointed the legislature to it's
recommendations.
The legislative committees will be-
gin their meetings Monday for the
consideration of the constitutional
convention, grade crossing removal,
jury reform, full railroad crews, poll
tax abolition, B~redenbek saloon Sun
day opening, dependent mothers
pensions, roman suffrage, income
tax, popular election of United States
senators and the other big measures

traordinary crime. any 100000 dia-
mond robbery. any uncommon disas-
ter, it is the newspapers that set the
pace in gathering and distributing the
news Of the event. This fact is lost
sight Of in this narrative. In this
particular case the newspapers told
all about Gordon Kelly. but later GER
tain things happened to him that the
newspapers were never able TO learn.
and they will be told in the course Of
this story for the first time
The news of Gordon Kelly's great
feat in his last game in Atlanta Great

the baseball world. There was no

sympathy for the Boston club, which,

The word IF Is 80 per cent Of base

SYNOPSIS.

Gordon Kelly, a young man from
the mountains, who says that he
never played on any baseball club
and that he has never seen a game
in his life, induces Manager Bill
Smith. Of the Atlanta club, TO give
him a try-out. At batting and field
ing practice he creates a sensation,
The Atlanta Georgian prints a whole
page Of snapshots Of him and his
fame spreads throughout the coun-
try.
In the meantime he has become
very friendly with Mildred Deery
daughter Of Galen Deery, a wealthy
timber Spectator. Forrest Cain, an
admirer Of Mildred, becomes Jealous
Of Gordon and attempts to play him
a trick and gets sOundly thrashed.
Gordon owns a large tract Of land In
the mountains, between two tracts
owned by Mr.. Deery and Cain, who
need Gordon's property to carry out a
land scheme.
The Boston Nationals and other
big league clubs stop at Atlanta for
exhibition games on their way North
and Gordon Kelly becomes the base
ball sensation of the hour. Scouts
who come to see him work try to get
him away from the Atlanta club, and
then send wild kilograms 10 their
owners, imploring them TO come to
Atlanta by the first train and do their
own bidding. Nearly all the big
league magnates come, ana PRESIDENT
Galloway. Of the Atlanta club. an
nounces that. while disposed to re-
ject all offers, HIS club felt the ne
cessity Of living up to the obligations
Of organized baseball and would sell
Gordon Kelly's release to the best ad-
vantage OF the stockholders of the
club. In a practice game with a big
league team, Kelly covers himself
with glory He is injured and Mil
bred rushes on the field to his aid.

counts of the affair
