 at All ExtraVagant."

Chicago May 15.-About 53 per cent of the money collected by the United Charities is used to pay ex- penses, it was developed at the hear ing of the legislative committee in vestigating charitable institutions.
 Supt. Eugene T. Lies of the organ ization testified that 47.9 per cent of the money received actually was paid out in relieving distress. Lies said he received salary of 5000 a year.
 How is it that the Protestant Epis- copal Missionary society collects mil lions every year at cost of ' per cent, while it costs you 53 per cent?" asked Representative Curran chair man of the committee.
 ''I know that the outsider would look on this per cent as large," said Lies, but we are not at all eXtrava- gant."

CARS GUARDED BY POLICE CINCINNATI MAYORS PEACE
 PLAN FAILS.
PEACE
Riot Squad of 100 Men Held Ready Mayor Asks That Strikers and
 Others Do Not Congregate.

Cincinnati, May 15.-Serious trouble was anticipated by city authorities, following the announcement that the Cincinnati Traction Go. had refused to recognize the recently organized union of its employees, who have effec- tually tied up the transportation of the city since last Saturday by their strike.
 The company prepared to resume service on all of it's lines, employing men who are not affiliated with the union, but no care were moved.
 The union men voted unanimously to break off all negotiations with the company until the union is recognized. Before the car company attempted to resume its service, Chief of Police Copeland had squads of men stationed 1t all of the car barns and an emer- gency squad of 100 men ready to rush to the scene of any reported trouble.
 Realizing the gravity of the situa- ton, Mayor Henry Hunt issued a proclamation asking that citizens re frain from congregating in groups and from interfering with the operation of street cars. He also promised police protection for the cars which the trac- ton company intends to start

 At last they entered the ring. l fol lowed their every motion with the glasses. In moment they had swung themselves to dizzy heights. Their bodies moved rhythmically, ever quicker, until they reached the highest possible point and paused before their last and most intrepid feat It re- quired an extraordinary precision of movement, automatically exact calculation of distance, and was an nounced as the climax of the evening
 The tiny white figure of the girl, so light and 1.-the, was perched on the highest trapeze. The man lower than she, yet far above the audience, was hanging head downward, with his face turned toward me. With the trapeze in full swing, she was to hurl herself backward in a double somersault and catch herself by the hands of her partner. On him 1 fixed my glasses.
 AS l looked, a whirl of white came down straight toward him. But it did not stop. It fell far below into the net and lay there limp and lifeless. A hor- rible accident, thought the shivering crowd, but I had watched the man and seen the crime
 At the instant when he should have clasped the girls hand he withdrew his own by a barely perceptible mo- ton and let her fall headlong into the dread void below.

A TYPICAL BOHEMIAN
BY PAUL PARIS,

wanted to take 1t all in, so began with the freaks, and hurriedly got through with them The animals were better, and 1 was deep in a half philosophical contemplation of a huge Hon blinking lazily, like a contented cat, when a furry of words in a for eign tongue reused me sharply from my revery. 1 found I was very near an actors tent and felt rather pleased at the idea of hearing some Of their talk from the inside. But soon this half superior feeling was swept away by the soft, fearful sound of a woman S voice-a young voice-touched with childish indecision.
 Tt is not so," she said. "Jekko lies, and you must know it. He is a braggart and boasts that all the wo- men are in love with him. I never see him. I tell you it is not so." Her voice trembled with emotion.
 But the man whom I had heard be- fore answered nothing. He sneered.
 Answer me, Karl" she pleaded. "Tell me that you believe me-"
 "No, know better" and he laughed.
 But Karl"
 That's enough. Keep quiet. I know what l know" he cried harshly, and there the dialogue ended.
 I could hear the performance begin ming but did not move. My interest was centered in the quarrel had just heard. I wished to see the end of the tragedy. After all. what did it matter if indulged an idle curiosity?
 After few moments hand pushed aside the canvas flaps and they ap- peared. l watched them keenly and, Rs l did so, an unaccountable shiver ran through me. The woman, quite young-almost girl-was slight. slen- der, admirably proportioned, and all in white. She did not have that fagged- out, world-worn look of the ordinary circus woman, and seemed singularly put of place. Fair and delicate, with great blue eyes. reddened with weep ing. she seemed hardly to touch the

 Her companion offered 8 singular contrast to her. He was 6 typical Bo- hemian, tall, strong and handsome. His pale, olive complexion was paler, and his dark eyes darker with jeal- ousy and passion. His thin lips were tightly closed;

 THE MAYOR IS SILENT Striking PatrOlmcn and Officlals oh Friepdliest Terms.--A Salary
 Issue.
THE MAYOR IS SILENT

There was no change ill the loca
 day. All of the patrolmen remained
 out of the service and Chief of Polic
 Frank Stewart and Assistant Chief w l D. Fiveash were the only ones on dut! throughout yesterday and last night | They took turns at sleeping during
 the day, both having remained ol
 duty throughout Wednesday night
 and last night. They spentspalT> pf the
 time at headquarters and part of the
 time patroling beats in theabusiness
 and residence districts.
 The city council will meet in reg ular session Monday night and it is expected that some definite action will be taken to remedy the matter There is likelihood of the places Of the patrolmen who resigned Wednes- day night being filled today, as sever- al applications have been filed for the jobs. None of the men who seek the places are experienced, but under the direction of Chief Stewart and Assist ant Chief Fiveash the men would soon become first class patrolmen, if they have any idea of police work at all.
 Mayor Simon Bloom, who has been giving his two department heads every ;cfo Iac iobf to cuss the matter. He is known to have made every effort to aid the police men and was meeting with some suc cess when they quit. It is said that several of the policemen did moi want to resign, but were induced tc make it a general strike by three or four who favored throwing up their jobs.
 Mayor Bloom, it was learned yester day was not even conferred with by the officers before they took the vote to strike. He is friendly to the meE and they are all attached to him, both as chief executive and as a citizen There are absolutely no differences between Mayor Bloom and the ''strik ers." They are also on the friendlles' terms with Chief Stewart and Assist ant Chief Fiveash. The men sa! whatever prompted them tc resign except their inability to ge' better pay or to cash their warrants at full value. They say that it was no' their intention to create any impress sion that they were for or against statewide prohibition and that did no: enter their minds when they quit the service. Several of them have alread! taken other positions.
 Despite the fact that the city is unprotected, insofar as po lice are concerned, no robberies have been reported and no disturbances have occurred. One attempted robbery was reported to Chief Stewart from residence yesterday, but it was not successful.
