A DeplorabIe Situation.

While Beaver is not the scene ol
reckless and deliberate open viola
tion OF the law in regard to the whiskey
traffic and gambling, as lie the case in
several Of the surrounding towns
where conditions are reported In not q
few as being decidedly bad, yet there
is far too much OF such lawlessness in
practice, as was evidenced by the little
furry which occurred in Justice Court
circles the past week.
There is not an honest, sober. minded
individual within the corporate limits
OF the City OF Beaver who has arrived
ut the age Of accountability, but who
knows as well as though 1t were pro-
claimed from the hopsetops IN tones ci
thunder, that violations OF the prohib-
itory and gambling laws OF our State
are committed every day, or nearly
so, In our little city and right under
our very noses as IL we're, but where is
the evidence TO convict When men,
placed upon the witness stand, under
oath, chnose TO perjure them
selves rather than offer testimony that
will convict one OF their pals" when
others, for policy's sake or business
reasons, fail to see and hear, for the
simple reason that they don't want TO
offend the violators and thereby lose
their patronage and also that OF the
gang" and when sworn officers Of
the law evade their duty and shield
those in crime, to say nothing OF the
su-called better element" who refuse
TO turn a hand to help prosecute the
offenders. thereby aiding and abetting
the loose enforcement Of the law, what

the situation would be less critical, for
they have spent the best days Of their
lives, and IL is only one chance in a
hundred that their reformation might
be effected but for the sake OF the
young men Of the community-bright,
intelligent young boys with future
before them, and who might, II they
chose. and these hellish temptations

honorable and industrious men, some
thing should be done.
II there are those who must traffic

gers and gamblers, and that way rests
with the Christian and moral men and

In striking contrast to the disorderly
scenes which attended the suffrage
pageant here on March 8, when the
marchers were swamped by surging
crowds which completely overpowered
the police, the women today swung
briskly along to the blaring of their
bands over pavements cleared COM
pletely, and between lines of police
afoot. ahorse and on bicycles.
The police were lined up along the
route, practically dozen feet apart.
and as the marchers passed, the po-
licemen turned and marched along
with them.
A squad OF mounted police headed
the procession and another brought
up the rear. Thus the suffragists
marched completely surrounded by
the officers. There were no attempts
at disorder.
Scenes at the Capitol also were very
orderly The suffragists presented
their petitions and then held some
open air meetings outside before dis
persing.

WASHINGTON. April 7.-Women
suffragists descended upon Congress
again today with petitions for a con-
stitutional amendment for equal suf
frage.
After q mass-meeting in a down
town theatre, the petition bearers,
more than 500 in number, formed in
a rectangular body and marched to
the Capitol At the foot of the Capt.
toll steps the marchers divided, one
PARTY going to the Senate side and
the other to the House. Both parties
eventually Joined in the rotunda,
where members of both branches
were bombarded with the petitions.
The bearers represented every con-
gressional district in the country.
While galleries in the Senate were
specially reserved for the marchers
and their adherents, no bands or BAN
ners were admitted to the Capitol.
On the program at the mass meet
ing preceding the parade three of the
best speakers for the cause" had
been placed. These were Mrs. James
Leeds Laidlow, of New York, a mem
Der of the national board of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION: Miss Janet Richards, a
prominent worker. and Mrs. Forbes
Robertson Hale. Miss Alice Paul, of
the national organization, was down
to preside.
Some of the messages were from
prominent individuals; some from So
cieties and some from political or
al
sounded in some of them. Most of
them were in the form OF resolutions
asking equal suffrage, adopted by
the home folks The object of every
one was votes for women.
Each woman was dressed in a
street dress of white, and marched
under a banner bearing the name of
the constituency she represented;
but there was no attempt at the
fancy costuming which made the suf-
frage pageant on March 3 notable.
Starting in front of the Columbia
Theatre, after the mass-meeting, the
delegation marched along F street
to Eleventh, then turned down Elev-
enth, following 1t to Pennsylvania
avenue. The crowd gathered rapidly
as the procession passed up Penn
sylvania avenue.
The marchers reached the capitol
grounds at noon. Entering the long
walk they proceeded up the west
terraces of the grounds. climbed the
steps and on the highest terrace, di-
rectly beneath the walls of the capt.
toll proper, the white-gowned march
ers divided, one-hdlf going north and
one-half south. Circling the big
building in this manner they Joined
again before the vast east portico
of the capitol and then the procession
descended upon the law makers.

NONDER ROOF
ITO CAPTURE MAN
Suspect in 5000 Gem Robbery
Surrenders When Pistol Pokes
Him in Dark.

Heavy bail was fixed by Judge
Hahn today in holding George Nc
Lear, of Elizabeth. on charge of
entering the home of Paul Martin, of
20 Avenue c. and stealing jewelry
valued at 5000. Although McLear de-
nieet all knowledge of the robbery,
Plainclothesmen Bell and James
Kenny declare they found the
watches, rings and chains that were
taken, hidden in the oven of a gas
stove in the cellar of the home of
McLear's father in-law, at 22S Muir
ray street, where they also found
McLear in hiding.
The police believe McLear has a
record, but he only admitted being
arrested twice and allowed to go on
both occasions. Plainclothesman
Brex remembered seeing the prisoner
arraigned in the Hudson county
Court House several years ago and
questioned him about the charges
against him. McLear said he could
not remember exactly what the
charge was, but he thought it was in
connection with a shooting in which
railroad detectives took part Chife
of Police York, of Bayonne, said to-
day that he had arrested McLear
several times on burglary and lar
ceny charges.
The capture of McLear was effected
by a rare piece of police work. After
searching the house where the man
was in hiding, the policemen were
about 10 give up when they found the
stolen articles. Another hunt through
the house was made and 1t was at
the very top, hidden between the CELL
ing of the attic and the shingles of
the roof that they found McLear.
Bell had climbed on Kenny's
shoulders to open the scuttle that led
to the roof, when he heard a faint
noise above him. Grasping the ledge
of the scuttle opening he drew him
self upward, his revolver held in his
mouth. AS his head reached the
small space beneath the roof he held
himself with one hand and with the
other poked the revolver before him.
1T struck the man in hiding, who
yelled Don't shoot, I'll come down"
McLear stated to Brex and Kull to-
day when questioned that he was
hiding from his father-in-law. who
had refused to allow him in the house
to see his wife. Several times before
he had slept in the same place he
said.
Martin, the man who was robbed,
declared in court that he had seen
McLear leave his place and had
chased him and then notified the
police.
