be the most important developments
in the exposure of the system" since
the city was aroused to the alliance
OF its police with gambling and vice
by the murder of a ''squealing" gamb-
Ter at the instigation Of Police Lieu
tenant Charles Becker last July.
Walsh's confession was made on his
sick bed. 1t was forced in part by
charges made by Policeman Eugene
Fox, who pleaded guilty to graft col
lection last Monday and turned upon
Walsh as the man next above him.
Fearing that heart weakness with
which he has long been troubled,
might foreshadow his death, and wish
ing to purge his conscience, Captain
Walsh admitted taking vice graft to
the extent of perhaps 100000 in a
single police precinct.
Half this amount he turned over to
those higher up.
The district attorney today described
the confession as the most important
he had ever heard as prosecuting at
torney. He was with Walsh for only
three quarters of an hour, but left
with the understanding that Walsh
would see him again and would place
in his own writing the full confession.
although Walsh regards himself as
seriously i'll, he expects to appear be-
fore the grand jury next Monday.
Police Commissioner Waldo said to-
day he could take no action against
Walsh and the inspector named in his
confession until Walsh's charges ana
admissions had been officially con-
tirmed. To this end he sent man
to confer with District Attorney Whit
man and if this representative is con-
WINGED that Walsh spoke the truth,
the commissioner said he would sus-
pend him and the inspector forth"
with.
To a representative Of the commits
sioner last night Walsh denied any
connection with the graft receiving. a
few hours later he made his state
ment to District Attorney Whitman
On receiving report from his rep
resentatiye sent to the district attor-
neys office, Mr.. Waldo Immediately
suspended Walsh. 1t was expected
that similar action would be taken
later in the day with regard to the
inspector named.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Members of

look as tame in comparison as a Sum

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am young
fellow-been married few years. My
wife is very troublesome, quarrelsome
and rheumatic. What can l do? She
quarrels with me if don't take her
some place or furnish a way to go
every day. She also talks Of leaving
me. We have a baby. She is mean
to it. If she leaves me, which ought
to have 1t?
NTRoUBLE.
You surely are in trouble. If the
wife is rheumatic, however, probably
that is the reason of her bad temper
Put her under doctors care. Be pa
tient with her. Help her with the
homework and with the baby all you
can. Take her out with you once in
while and try to give her happy
time; it will make you happy, too. If
you do these things she won't want %
leave you.
If she does leave you, the court must
decide which shall have the child.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am in love
with a young man here I met him
some time ago and at first he seemed
to care very much for me, but Of late
he doesn't seem to care so much for
me as he did. We have now broken
up and he just speaks to me. I have
always been Iadylike in his presence
and don't see what I have done to
offend him.
Please tell me what I can do to re-
gain his love. I think he still loves me-
He is very bashful, which may account
for it. There must be some misun-
derstanding. WORRIED.
Next time you see him, my dear
walk up to him and ask him. very Sc
riously, if you have don anything he
thinks wrong. Tell him that you value
him as friend and If you have un-
knowingly done anything to hurt him.
you are sorry, but you would like to
know what it is so that If could not
happen again.
But If he is just a ''touchy" sort of
person, easily offended, better let him
go. You will never be happy with that
kind of man. Also, If he tells you
that nothing is the matter, make w
your mind that he is just tired of you,
and forget him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
of Is and in love with young man
who comes to see my sister. He seems
to think a great deal Of me. Must
leave him and her alone or can /
take him away from her? She is just
wild about him? He went with me
three or four times first, but I was
going with another fellow and did not
seem to care much for him, so he went
with her. ANXIOUS.
I'm afraid that the only reason you
think you love him now is because he
likes your sister and she likes him.
Better find another fellow.

ton of simplicity the suffragists have
gene it is worth noting that the COM
mittee has given permission to Mrs.
Anita c. Brooks, of New York, to walk
barefooted in the parade. Mrs. Brooks
wrote the committee, saying she was
very anxious to do something i'm
pressive, and would either walk bare
footed in the parade or wear sandals
with diamond heels. Mrs. Brooks was
Informed that diamond heels would be
decidedly out Of place at the pageant.
Suffragists who stand for an ex-
treme form of simplicity favor having

Mrs. Christian D. Hemmick, of this

this. The statue is a life size figure
