of the doughty cop who slips around
to the back door TO hold converse
with the servant girl is past Sup
erintendent Robinson. with no regard
for time-honored customs, has issued
an order that all policemen must re-
frain from unnecessary conversation.
They arc instructed to talk only IN
their line OF duty. and anyone who
disregards the order will be visited
with Severe punishment"
Under the new order, a cop who
has entree to houses on his beat via
the back door will be Obliged to make
his calls while he Is of duty He Will
have TO be careful not to spend more
than half a minute talking TO friends
he may chance to meet, and II he
runs across a brother cop he VIII
have TO think up some police busi-
ness TO talk about.
Superintendent Robinson said nu-
merous complaints have been receiv-
ed that cops are spending their time
In idle conversation, entirely foreign
to police business. and, consequently,
neglecting their duties. To stop that,
he issued the following order:
"Patrolmen VIII engage In conver-
satlon only long enough to answer
questions put to them by citizens, or
to give such citizens proper direc-
tions Under no circumstances will
they engage In length conversations
with anyone Further complaint on
this subject will be met with severe

ably surprised on Monday afternoon

prise" was in store for them, and
later in the afternoon, the surprise
appeared.
There were a number Of graphic
phone selections. including several
real old time revival" records: and
when their special favorite, Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" was played, the
old people sang the hymn also, and
were so delighted that it had to be
repeated. Then. one of the board
members, Ia number of whom were
present to receive the friends who
had provided the surprise) gave two
fine recitations. after which there
was more music, and then the old
people were invited to the dining
room where they were served with
ice cream, cake, candy and oranges.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9--By uphold
ing certain disputed counts against
James A. Patten and others, charged
with violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law in running a so-called cot
ton corner, the Supreme Court sent
the case against the men to in the
lower courts. Patten, Eugene G,
Scales. Frank B. Hayne and William
P. Brown were indicted in New York
on charges of conspiring on January
1. 1910, to Corner" cotton by extern
sive buying on the New York Cotton
Exchange as a result of which the

ly bring arbitrary and excessive
prices. The conspiracy was described
as calculated to yield s1O,000,0OO in
profits. The alleged violation of the
Sherman law was set forth in the in
dictment in eight different ways in as
many counts, the defendants being
liable for trial on any one. Before
the defendants could be placed on
trial the United States Circuit Court
for southern New York held insufl-
cient four counts as not stating an
offense. The government appealed
from that decision to the Supreme
Court.
