JUDGE TOMBSTONE SITS
 FOR RECORDER THOMAS
Drunks and DisorderIy Housekeeper
 Handled Quickly.

l John Bird, cOlOred, was given hear 1 ing yesterday afternoon by Judge l Johnstone, who was sitting in the re- | cOrderS court in the absence of Re ! cOrder Thomas, on a charge of keeping a disOrderly house and was remanded for a further hearing this afternoon. Early Tuesday morning a white man claiming to be a brakesman on the Arizona Eastern Railroad came to the public station and complained of be- ing robbed by a colored woman in a house on East Madison street Two officers were detailed to look into the matter. As a result of their inVeStiga- tions the officers arrested two men and two women, all cOlered and held them
 for investigation.
 Yesterday the prisoners were given a
 hearing on charges of disOrderly con-
 duct. The complaining witness told of
 meeting one of the negroes and made
 a bargain with him to take him to the
 house where the ladies were supposed
 to be very pleasant to strangers. When he got there he said he was introduced
 to one of the women who asked him for six bits to buy the necessary re- freshment. Bird then came to the door and asked for cigar money and the witness said that he gave him 35c. The dusky lady who then came into the room became very friendly and the witness showed his appreciation by giving her two dollars. As soon as she received the money her friendship sud- denly ceased and she refused to remain longer. This action on her part made him so angry that he suddenly decided to place all the information at his dis pOsal in the hands of the police.
 Attorney F. Goodwin who defended Bird asked the witness so many Ques- tiOns that he became confused and was unable to give enough evidence against the women to convict them so they were discharged. Bird was held in the city ail in default of sufficient bail
 The dozen or so drunks that appeared to answer for their fOolishneSs re- ceived short shrift from Judge John stone and they all drew sentences of $5 or five days in the city jail. Outside of the Bird case the session did not take twenty minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH NEW YORK, July 24.-The course of tOday's dull stock market was a curious medley of advances and de- clines. The initial dealings disclosed renewed weakness in New Haven. Some government issues also register ed lower prices. As a partial offset, various specialties rose from two to
 four points. In the early afternoon a brief buying movement of Steel Un-
 ion Pacific, AmalSamated Copper, Canadian Pacific and Reading lifted
 prices from one to two points. This
 was followed by a hurried covering
 of shorts and considerable realizing
 for profits. after which the market
 fell back to it's early duIlness. The best prices were scored in the final hour with the closing strong. The days budget of news embodied the weekly reports of the Bank of Eng land and the Bank of France. the former disclosing increased reserves of gold and latter a gain of two and a half millions in gold. Americans were generally lower in London and for the first time this week that that center was a seller here.
 Estimates of U. s. Steel earnings next week are fixed around $3400O000 with $25,00O, 900 last year.

Dwight B.

local aid within struggling families.
The Seattle Post. Intelligencer put it
thus:
The law has filled the children's
homes very nearly to capacity through
the giving up to institutional charge
of the children of unsuccessful ap-
plicante. Prior to the taking effect of
the law, mothers made every effort to
hold the children of the family to
gether. When it was discovered that
absolute perjury is a condition pre-
cedent to the granting of a pension,
families began to break up.
The Wisconsin mothers pension
law is not nearly as comprehensive as
that Of Oregon, and its effects may
therefore not be so marked. We
already know that the number of ap-
plicants has been overwhelming. but
as to their character and the indirect
consequences of the law we must
await a detailed report. milwaukee

MOTHERS PENSIONS IN OREGON.

The first definite report on the
Oregon mothers pension law goes
far to confirm the doubts expressed as
to the practicability and wholesome
effect of any general application of
this form of outdoor state relief.
After four months of operation the
most significant result of this law is
found to be its encouragement to
fraud, so per crnt of the applications
having been refused.
In many cases, say the in.
vestigators, perjury has been COM
mitted, and false afidavits as to
financial status made. =
On the other hand, it is admitted
by the authorities that deserving
widows have shrunk from the
publicity of asking state aid: In

pension officers. says the report, 1t
has been felt that there may be many
needy and proud mothers whose wants

It is doubtful whether a stronger

1t is doubtful whether a stronger
play was ever presented in Lancaster
than that of The Divorce Question, -
given at Hatchs opera house last
Wednesday evening by the Wingield
& Rulings management, or one that
has been interpreted by more
capable and we'll balanced company.
The story in the play is one of
gripping interest from start to finish,
the outlines of which have already
been told in these columns. The lead
ing character, Rev. William Jerome,
was portrayed by Oscar O'Shea in a
manner that left nothing lacking.
His acting was easy. forceful and
natural and won all hearts. It would
be difficult for an actor to more
thoroughly live the character he
portrayed than did Calvin Rische in
that of the drug fiend and street
waif, Dopie Doe, the deserted and
unfortunate son Of the divorced
lawyer, Herbert Lockwood. The
entire cast. in fact was strong and
fitted perfectly the characters they
represented. Mr.. Hatch is to be con-
graduated in securing companies of
such merit as this and the public has
shown how quick it is to respond to
an honest effort to furnish attractions
thoroughly worthy of its patronage.
A number of other excellent things
are booked for this season, parti-
culars Of which will be given in due
time.

for granted that for an indefinite time
the fiagman will be needed. 1t is of i'm
porIance, therefore, since SO many wrecks

care is taken to get trustworthy men and
to make sure that on all occasions they
carry out their instructions in n way
that would provide sufficient safeguard
1t should be known also to what extent
the simple task of going back with red

il laziness? Is 1t simply dislike for the
risk of being left afoot when the train

system of pay? Is the faithful man per-

cause to think that skimping the dis

fundamental to scientific management.
