EIGHTEEN CADETS
LIABLE CONTEMPT
BY Appealing to Secretary Garrison
Before Complaining to the suPerin-
tendent They Will Be So Held.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept 22.-Eighteen ca
diets of West Point now under punish =
ment for hazing, will lay themselves
liable to court martial by appealing TO
Secretary Garrison without first COM
planning to the superintendent of the
military academy. The first complaint
reached Washington today through a
congressman.
The cadets contend they are being
punished for merely obeying their or
ders in drilling lower classmen. They
are charged, however, with violating
regulation which forbids any cadet TO
force a lower classmate to assume ANY
ridiculous or humiliating posture"
War department officials say that
forcing the unfortunate freshman to
puff out his chest or draw in his chin
to a painful position comes under the
head of "deviling youngsters" and not
drill regulations.

CONFESSION HAS
SHOCKED POLICE
Philadelphia OTfeers Do Not Believe
That Jacob Wolfsohn, Who Says He
Killed Girl, ls Telling the Truth.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-Philadelphia
police officials were not prepared to say
that Jacob Wolfsohn, who says he killed
Anna Catharine Schumacher in 6
cemetery at Rochester, N. Y, four
years ago, is telling the truth. Capt.
Cameron. head OF the detective bu-
reau, said the story the prisoner told
seemed to bear out details of the crime
as known here, but the doubts thrown
around Wolfsohn's tale by the Ro-
chester authorities has caused the de-
tectives here to withhold any opinion
as to his guilt.
Wolfsohn, accused of larceny and
forcible entry, faces a prison term
here, If the charges are sustained The
police believe the only motive Wolf
sohn could have for confessing :le
killed the girl. if his story proves I'M
true. is that he might escape q prison
sentence here if taken to New York
state and there cleared of a murder
charge.
Sheriff Hamil and District Attorney
Barrett arrived today from Roches-
te to investigate Wolfsohn's story.
Close guard Is being kept over the
prisoner since his alleged attempt at
suicide last night

Concord, N. H, Sept. 22.-rhe
scene of the litigation over Harry
Kendall Thaw shifts this week to the
century-old New Hampshire capitol,
just across the street from the hotel
where the Matteawan fugitive has
been sheltered since last Wednesday
Gov. Felker arrived today to make
final arrangements for the extradi-
ton hearing before him tomorrow.
Pending the arrival of William T.
Jerome, special attorney general Of
New York, the petitioner, nothing will
be made known concerning the argu-
ments in support of the extradition
petition. None of the New York au-
thorities was here this forenoon.
The place for holding the hearing
was one OF the matters to be decided
by Gov. F'elker today. Two rooms
have been suggested, one the senate
chamber and the other the hall of
representative. The senate chamber
seats fifty comfortably, but this num-
Der could be doubled to meet an emer-
gency. Those in authority believe the
attendance should be limited to counsel
and newspaper men. Should the hear
ing be public, il probably would be
held in the hall Of REPRESENTATIVE.

OFFERED FOR MEN.

Tallahassee. Sept. 22.-Today the
leasing of state convicts has been
under consideration by the board Of
state institutions as provided by the
act OF 1913. About forty prominent
naval stores men were here and over
thirty bids have been submitted. The
bids range from $3.50 to $3.50 per con-
Wet, and will average slightly less
than the price the convicts are bring
Ing now.
Under the provision of the law the
counties only asked for 1872 convicts,
and therefore there will be about 900
able bodied male convicts subject to
lease.

X-RAY SKIRTS
NOT IN,.OEMAND
COLD WEATHER HAD THE EF.
Feet OF ELIMINATING THEM
AS WELL AS THE YOUTH ION
THE CORNER"

The cold weather of yesterday &C
comphshed several things. The first
and foremost was that It drove the
X-RAY skirt into retirement. An
other, it chased those last summer
straws and the third and by far the
most important, it sent the corner
youth to places more pleasant The
latter's elimination was due to two
reasons-the wintry blasts that came
from around the corners and the abb
sence of the X-Ray skirt.
Garden and Palafox streets, always
popular in the late afternoons, bore a
deserted appearance. There were no
young men hanging around looking
westward as though they were momen-
tarily expecting the appearance OF 4
long lost friend, and some Of the old
dodgers who always wait for thor
cars at that particular corner, boarded
them at other points.
As to the weather IL was rather
frosty for a September Morn, or after
noon either, the temperatur again
dropping down to SO degrees and lin
gering close about throughout the day
The weather man says It will be
warmer today and that tomorrow may
see normal conditions restored.

THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL
BY Levi, B. Harr.


A few weeks ago many properly
holders Of the city received an order
to clean up their premises. This ord
er applied particularly to many o! the
back yards and alleys which have been
dumping grounds for tin cans and
filth until, in vertain sections of the
city3 the health of the community was
in jeopardy
The order was more than probable
issued entirely out OF the necessary OF
improving health conditions. Leaving
aside the sanitary phase OF the propo'
sition that cleanliness is next to godlt'
ness, there is another side to the Ques-'
ton, witch appeals particularly TO the
real estate developer and promoter,
and that is the condition Of the prop
erty. Owners of properties for rent
are very careless about the condition
Of their property. They fix the rent
price and make no calculations for re-
pairs or improvements, many OF the
houses having broken windows, porch
floors and steps decaycd and falling
in, badly in need OF a coat Of paint,
paper torn from the wall and having

a house will rent for 25 per cent
more when the little extras are OBJ
served than ii will bring under the
general conditions that prevail IN this
city among the houses to rent,
The same proposition is true in re-
gard to lots for sale, A nice clean
lot, well grassed, sells much more
readily than washed clay bank, as a
result of inattention. 1t costs but a
little money TO keeps lots in good con-
dition. A great many OF the vacant
lots about the city present an appear
ance that they lack ownership. If the
ground is fertile they are covered with
brlars and weeds; if the ground ls
poor they are bare. with deep gulleys
washed through them. What was once
q nice clean lot with stakes marking
the four corners, cannot now be To-
Gated, except by an expert engineer
at price that would put the lot IN
first class condition.
Fairmont real estate grows IN value
not because owners work TO put value
into it, but because Of the development
OF the enormous resources in the com
munlty, which makes our real estate

of anything We can do
