consideration whatever would he re-
veal the name of his sweetheart BY
declaring that he would not add an
other sentence to his confession ie
he is questioned about her again. he
forced an agreement with the sher-
III which is, in effect:
!. John BOstick, confessed train
rObber and slayer of H. f. Mon
tague, agree TO tell sheriff Ham
mel everything if / am not asked
about the young woman If
am asked 1 shall say nothing
more.
Sheriff Hammers answer was, Il
agree and will not ask about her nor
seek her further"
The arraignment of Bostiek on the
charge of robbing the Sunset Express
and numbering II. E. Montague was to
have taken place at 10 O'Clock before
Justice Young. but because of the
unusual interest in the affair it was
postponed to a date not announced.
Sheriff Hammel was compelled to
resort to a ruse today to clear the
streets 0 fthe thousands of spectators
congrega ting to see Bostick.
A deputy sheriff OF B0stiek- s p1fy-
sique was dressed in the bandits
clothes and he, apparently under
aeavy guard entered a waiting auto
mobile. The machine, with thousands
following it. drove around until the

HIS METHOD or LIVELIHOOD
New Jersey Man Catches All Sorts Of
Bait for Black Bass TO Sell
to Fishermen.

Standing on the towpath looking
intently down into the water Of the
old Morris canal, in a stretch Of il
in Marris county, N. j., was a man
whose right hand presently shot
down suddenly to snap mp something
out of the water, which he quickly
transferred to a curious little box
about a foot square he had in his
other hand.
A pedestrian on the towpath who
had wondered what all this meant
saw when he had come near that the
box had wire screens for sides. Just
now there were in the box a dozen
or two spring toads, a species of
frog found around springs and in
marshy places and also called the old
fashioned tobacco toad and the leap
ard frog. 1t was a spring toad that
the man had suddenly snapped up
out of the water and put into the
box moment before.
The pedestrian learned that the
frog catcher makes a business of
catching these frogs to sell as bait
for black bass to fishermen, and he
had caught $50 on that day, using
no net, catching them with his hands
alone.
This man catches also for bait hell
gamites, crawfsh and grasshoppers.
He also hunts bullfrogs for their
hind legs. A license is required to
catch bullfrogs in Morris and Passaic
counties. Spring toads for bait he
ships to neighboring fishing locali-
ties in kegs, loosely packed in wet
grass. For fifteen years he has been
following the business of catching
black bass bait, working at it regu.
larly from May to October.

Physician Refuses to Pity Those Who
Suffer From This Most An
noylno Addiction.

"I think / have had more cases Of
ivy poisoning this spring and sum-
mer than in any FIVE years Of my
practice" said the physician as he

'In which experience mine just

druggist. "There have been lot Of
people drift in here and want to
know what is a remedy for ivy poi
soning. There has always been about
the same story-motor party, wild
flowers, ivy poison. What's the rea-
son?"
''Two good ones, probably. Scare
ity of wild flowers in the first place,
owing to the vandalism that wants
all it can see each season and so de-
creased the supply and made those
that remain less easily accessible.
Poking about in the dark spots has
made the searchers for the flowers
rub again the ivy. The other reason
is that the unusual weather of the
spring has made ivy more virulent
than usual.
"Strikes me as a sort of retributive
justice. Most of the people who get
into the woods become vandals when
they gather wild flowers-pull them
up by the roots, lop off branches so
as to kill a bush or tree and never
think that nature cannot reproduce
unless something is left to reproduce
with. Between you and me, most of
them deserve all the ivy poisoning
they get"

SOCIALIST LEADER ARRESTED
CHARGE AIDING WITNESS TO
LEAVE COURT JURISDICTION.
Eugene v. Debs Accuses Prosecutor
of Conspiring Against
Him.

Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. >27.-Eugene
V. Debs, Socialist candidate for presi-
dent of the United States in the last
election has been arrested here on
an indictment returned against him in
the federal court for the Third district
of Kansas. The charge was obstruct-
ing justice. The arrest was made by
United States Marshals Martin and
Rankin from indianapolis.
The warrant was served in Debs'
office and he accompanied the officers
to the office OF United States Commits
sioner Hall, where he furnished 81, 900
bond for his appearance at the May
term of the United States court of the
Third Kansas district.
Debs wrote an expose of alleged con
ditions in the Fort Leavenworth prison
for the Appeal of Reason which caused
a government investigation. The mat
ter printed in the Appeal was consid-
cred obscene by the federal grand jury
and action was brought against the
editors for sending it through the
mails. The witnesses in this case, it
is alleged, Mr.. Debs encouraged to
leave the jurisdiction of the court.
Debs brands the Indictment as an eff,
fort to ruin the Appeal of Reason.
Debs issued a statement after his ar
rest in which he declared he would
fight the case to the limit, that he
would employ no counsel, but simply
tell his story to a jury.

Outlook Is Gloomy for
Peace Now.

London, Jan. 27.-The confirmation
Of the news of complete revulsion of
feeling in Constantinople against the
proposed surrender to the allies has
created the impression among the
peace delegates hat war will begin
again almost Immediately.
There are, however, two currents
of opinion among the representatives
OF the Balkan league. One of these is
in favor Of asking Sir Edward Grey,
as honorary president of the peace
conference, Immediately to convoke a
session of the delegates at which the
resumption of hostilities will be de.
clared. The other urges that the
powers should first be allowed to deal
with Turkey.
The European governments are al
ready in communication with regard
to the situation. The view here is
that the reply of Turkey to the note OF
the powers must be awaited before
any drastic action can be inaugurated
Lack Of information as to the real
meaning and scope of the movement
in Constantinople precludes in the
official view anything in the nature oil
peremptory action.
The new Turkish cabinet has de.
cided to recall the Ottoman peace
delegates from London, according to o
dispatch from Constantinople. The
Turkish government is said also to
have requested it's ambassadors al
