REDUCING COURSE

Chicago, June 9.-When the Illinois
senatorial vice and minimum wage
commission resumed its quest Of the
light on the relation Of low wages to
vice today, Harry Pratt Judson, presi-
dent OF the University OF Chicago, was
called as a witness.
Most college graduates enter bust
ness, the witness said. and were soon
thereafter financially able to marry. b
And what becomes OF the girl grad
yates? ?" asked Chairman O'Hara.
II am happy to say that most of
them marry" replied the educator.
He said that school and college
courses should be shortened in order
to start young men and women on the
serious business OF life earlier. He de-
clared that high school studies should
be fewer in number and that these
should be studied more thoroughly.
Many. OF our young men work their
way through the university" voIun-
teered Mr., Judson, which costs them
from $500 to $500 Il year"
O'Hara wanted to know whether thu
lay should provide a minimum wage
for minimum efficiency. in response
TO which the witness arranged workers
into three classes. efficient, semi-ef-
ficient and inefficient.
Efficient men will earn more than
any law can provide" said DR.. Judson.
They'll take care OF themselves. For
the semi-efficient we might provide in
dustrial training"
The witness had no remedy for the
inefficient.

London, June 9.--While peace IL be-

THIEF GIVES BACK
81, 600 STOLEN
MONEY; GOES FREE

philadelphia. June 10.-Walter e.
Shourds, vault superintendent OF the
Merchants Union Trust company, who
robbed the bank two years ago of ST.
400 900 in securities and $780, 900 in cash,
walked into court, turned over the last
bundle of his loot, and smiled when
Judge Hall ordered the indictment
quashed and a verdict Of not guilty en-
tered. Shourds' motive for the theft
was a reduction Of his salary to $50 a
month.
The verdict of not guilty was or
dered after one of the most remarkable
scenes that ever featured the criminal
courts of this city. at the request Of
the state, the government and the bank
officials.
Forced to Grant Pardon.
Your honor District Attorney
Rotan, 'the officials of the bank are
at the mercy OF this nan If they do
not accept his offer of restitution under
promise OF immunity they will have TO
close the bank. They have asked me
to condone the compromising of the fell
ony l will do so only with the permits
sion of the court"
Under the circumstances Judge Hall
said he did not see how any other ac-
ton could be taken, a. the safety of
the bank, its depositors and sharehold-
ers was at stake.
When the verdict had been recorded
Shourds calmly handed a package to
Edwin Q. Lewis, attorney for the bank.
Mr.. Lewis opened 1t, and the missing
bonds and stocks were there. Shourds
also gave the bank 5000 more than he
had stolen, as part payment Of the
thousands Of dollars expended In
searching for him.
The proceedings over, Shourds bowed
to the attorneys and left the building
with his wife. Is
1t developed today that Shourds used
some OF the stolen funds to speculate
abroad. and it Is said he made a snug
fortune.
It was revealed today that Shourds
has travelled many thousands Of miles
since his huge theft In September, 1911.
He went first to the coast, across the
Pacific to Australia and then through
the Mediterranean and to Europe.
Shourds has written an entirely new
chapter in crime. No criminal OF re-
cent years ever stole as much as
Shourds. Although q novice in crime no
crook since Jimmy" Hope was ever
more mastery in his dealings with Off
Gals.
He dickered with the bank men
through William Travers Jerome. Jer-
ONE finally put through the deal which
meant liberty for Shourds. Negotia-
tons were entered into after the har-
assed officials of the looted bank had
been driven almost mad with anxiety
Leaving half this loot in Germany,
Shourds came to this country some
months ago to see If he was being
double crossed" He became convinced
that Jerome and the bank officials We're
ION the level" returned to Germany
and brought over the rest of the loot.
