Fasy Money from Harlem Lost

HIS POVERTY EXPLAINED
District Leaders Hayes and
Nagle Said to Have Had In

Two large and active stock brokerage
accounts in the name Of Captain Dennis
Sweeney were discovered yesterday by
District Attorney Whitman. The stock
broker with whom Sweeney carried on
these operations will be subpoensed
before the grand jury early next week
Sweeney was heavy operator, It IS
understood. but never a winner. and the
discovery Of these accounts goes a long
way toward explaining what had been

In spite Of heated denials by Tam
o,any men. reports were put IN Mr.
Whitman's hands yesterday, tending to
show that Nicholas J. Hayes and Per-
eivaI z. NaaIe, Tammany district Lead

in Harlem after he had been removed
from that command.
From other sources the District At

that disclosed still more clearly the
Tammany influence in the police COR
ruption in Harlem, and il is now GER
tain that Mr. Whitman will not go so
f,r as even 10 recommend cIemency for
Sweeney unless the former inspector
reveals the whole truth about his reia'
tons with the ring which dominated
the Harlem graft.
Sweeney's predicament has become
matter of the keenest concern to some
OF the most powerful men in Tammany
Hall. by reason Of the possibilities OF
his making a full confession. Such
confession, II is now believed, would
directly involve several big Tammany
leaders. and through them involve the
whole clioue now dominating that po-
ltical organization.
II was rumored yesterday that be-
cause Of this situation Tsmmany enc
r,ies of Charles F. Murphy were bring
,no pressure to bear upon Sweeney to
;,d,c. hin, TO confess. Their object,
u was said. was solely to down MUIR
phy. On the other hand, It is known
that friends Of Hayes and Magic are
doing everything possible TO let
Sweeney know that he will have their
moral and financial support so long as
he fiohts AGAINST and makes no peace

icy cable TO The Tribune J

London, Feb. 22.-Tt was stated last
night on the highest authority that the
suffragettes. in adition to their other
contemplated coups, have laid plans for
kidnapping a certain cabinet Minister.
The plot has come TO the knowledge of
the authorities and means are being
taken 10 defeat any such ncfarious de-
signs.
Most of the Cabinet ministers while
i'm this country are shadowed by detec-
tivcs in plain clothes who lool; after
their safety and prevent suffragettes
from annoying them but in view OF the
latest developments special precautions
are 10 be taken.
For some reason not easily under

Chancellor of the Exchequer is at pres

The Home Office has already obtained
from the Cardiff police full transcript
Of Mrs. Panlihursts speech there, and

copted that responsibility. she admitted
that she had melted the women con-

with a storm OF Wells. boos. misses,
groans. cheering and clappins OF hands,
said she was glad it was still possible
for her TO be present AT public meet

opportunity OF explaining the meaning
Of the vomen's revolution. because II
was as much revolution as the pres
ent series Of events in Mexico.
When women took to the methods OF
| insurrection and promoted civil war,
she remarked, they undertook very
serious responsibility. No one recog-
rized that more than the women fight

Andre Desrats was found in so weak

TOAD GOOD FRIEND OF MAN
lll-Favored Creature Has Been Misun-

Formerly the toad was considered
venomous reptile, but in our day
its habits have been more carefully
observed and it's great value to the
pomologist and gardener has been
fully established on account Of its
propensity for destroying insects. =
We should, therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance of the in
sectivorous reptiles. including the
striped snake, as well as that Of the
birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear of these

than a cat, as they are wholly free
from trespassing on the rights of man
as does the cat. The toad is possess

Many instances might be cited OF
pet toads remaining several years in

that of immunity from persecution.
