Church, performed the ceremony.
Then we came back to Or. Houghton' s
home. where we were visiting, and that

HIS OWN SKIN SAVES ARM
New Grating Method Used
Successfully in Hospital.

Summit, n. j., Aug. 26.-By adopt
ing method of skin grating unique in
his own experience and. so far as he
knows. never tried before, Or. William
II. Lawrence. jr., head Of Overlook
Hospital. has saved the right arm Of
Charles p. Walters. a printer.
Walters furnished himself with his
own skin, his arm being placed in a
pocket" of the living cuticle and held
there immovable while 1t was trans
planted from its old to its new location.
The pocket" was cut in the skin Of the
abdomen. a slit above and below being
made and the skin carefully separated
from the flesh between the two Sits
Into the gap thus made the skinless
arm was thrust and, when in position,
tightly bandaged. Within a few days
il was possible TO remove the arm and
its new supply Of skin.

A HIGHWAYMAN AT SIX
Wisconsin Boy, Arrested 20
Times, Astounds Criminologists.

Racine Wis. Aug. 26.-Richard Tue
lovsky. six years old. was committed
to-day to the State Industrial School
for Boys. He is TO remain there until
he is twenty-one.
Richard has caused the police more
trouble than any ten grown-ups, his
crimes ranging from plain burglary to
highway robbery, in which he used an
unloaded revolver. Twenty times his
name has been entered on the police
blotter for crimes that would have
placed other boys behind prison
bars. Even criminologists have been
astonished.
Threatening other children with a
knife induced summary action. The
commitment is of the youngest subject
in the states criminal records.

SMUGGLING LAID TO
THREE ON LINER RHE|N
Mysterious Bale Yields Candle
sticks and SabIes-Woman
Deprived of Ring.

When the North German Lloyd liner
Rhein came in from Bremen yesterday
and landed her passengers in Hoboken
Deputy Surveyor Isaac Harris's atten-
tion was attracted 10 an unusually
large bale of goods which had been
put under the letter a." Thinking It
was part of a freight shipment, he
asked the baggage master why ii was
put ashore with the passengers bag
gage. He was told the bale belonged
to Mr. and Mrs. Morris Liebermann. OF
Chicago.
After the ordinary baggage of the
couple was examined Harris asked
them IL the great bale was their prop
crty. Liebermann admitted ownership.
but said the oale contained material
used in his factory in Chicago.
Harris said the bale must be opened,
but the owner protested. He said his
word should he taken, as all his foreign
purchases had been declared and eX-
amined in his trunks.
Liebermanp's refusal TO open the bale
aroused suspicion, and a customs In
spector was set TO work on the fasten-
ings. When the bale was opened a
search disclosed two costly sable skins
and four silver candlesticks, all alleged
TO have been purchased abroad by Mrs.
Iiebermann and hidden in the material
in the bale.
The sable skins and candlesticks were
seized and sent TO the Appraisers s
Stores. The couple were content TO let
the goods 60, but as they were about
to leave the pier Deputy Surveyor Har-
ris ordered that Mrs. Liebermann
should be searched She was taken
aboard the Rhein, and in her clothing
woman inspector found two silver
pieces and two silver cigarette holders.
A diamond ring concealed under her
glove also was taken from her.
on the same steamship came Mrs. NJ.
binovitz accompanied by ner
mother, Mrs. Benjamin Breier, of Phil
adelphia. She declared $l1 30 worth OF
dutiable articles. but a search of her
clothing revealed coral necklace, a
large quantity of hand made lace. d
ruby pin and a mans gold watch.
While Mrs. Rabinovitz was talking
| with the Surveyor, her father was
called into the room and asked what
he did with a watch he brought over
from Europe undeclared in November.
Special agents sent information TO New
| York that Breier brought over the
watch, but the inspectors who exam
ined his baggage at the time were un-
able to find H.
Breier denied that he brought such a
| watch to this country. but when a
watch which fitted the description sent
from abroad was found in the sons
| pocket, the son admitted the watch was
given TO him by his father last year
| as a Christmas gift.
The watch was sent to the Apprsis-
er's Stores, along with the watch ana
jewelry found in Mrs. Rabinovitzs pos
session.

sire TO let their franchise 80 to another

General dissatisfaction Is expressed all

Many of the magnates were about the

To sell some Of their players.

TROUBLE BREWING
IN SOCCER CIRCLES
Question of Precedent in Cup
Tie Series Puts Brooklyn
Eleven in Quandary.

That trouble Is brewing for those who
are guiding the destiny OF soccer football
herea bouts, unless the greatest care be
coupled with the evident desire for har-
mony recently displayed between the
United States of America Football Asso-
citation and It's affiliated member, the
American Football Association. is evi-
dent from the consequences OF the recent
decision OF the latter body to cancel two
OF the cup tie games won by the Brook
Ign Football Club in addition to the fine
imposed.
The Brooklyns have been asked TO do
what is practically impossible under ex-
listing conditions; that Is, to play the
Clan McDonalds next Sunday and Bridge
port City week later and be ready. In
case of victory to play the scheduled
game against the Tacony Football Club
OF Philadelphia on December 2S. To do
this It would be necessary to ignore en-
tirely the u. s. A. +. A. cup tie game
with the Rangers.
IL all SINNERS down to a question OF
precedence as neither cup tie series
wishes to wait on the other. II this
delicate question of precedence is to be
safely evaded. the Brooklyns can do IL
only by placing two clevens In the field
on the same day, thereby impairng the
strength of one or the other, or of both,
or by letting a game go by default and
in that way be eliminated entirely from
the competition.
The Brooklyn Football Club feels that
Il has been placed In a wrong light by the
action OF the American Football Asso-
citation, the COMMITTEES Of which refused
to entertain explanatory evidence. II.
Hynd, the player around whom the
trouble hinged, was only permitted TO
testify that he had not signed the
A. +. A. form required OF every player
participating In the cup ties.
The fact, which was not brought out Is
that Hynd had delegated the right 10
sign for him, as he had done in former
years, to n. Agar. his friend and mentor.
The Brooklyn officials assert that they
had accepted the form thus signed In
good faith and so filed 1t with the Amer
lean Football Association, They point out
that no possible advantage could be de-
rived from this course and that 1t az
fected in no wise the playing OF the
games which were won by them ana
subsequently ordered to be replayed
