berries But Declares He Distributed
Money Among Homeless Mon
Stolen Goods Aggregate in Value
About $4,000,

New York. Dec 2S.-Fred Hoyt, choir
singer in a Bowery mission. pleaded
guilty today to the theft of s1,4o0 in
jewelry from an apartment house but
sought clemency on the plea that he
stole only to benefit the poor.
Hoyt said he had stolen altogether
about $4,000, all of which he had given
to the poor, except barely enough to
pay his own board. He had not bene-
fitted beyond this he said, by any of his
thefts. The money was given out in
small amounts among the Bowerys
homeless men to enable them to get
food and shelter. His method Of dis
tribution was to stand after services at
the doorway OF the mission and bestow
coins on the departin gworshipers.
Hoyt will be sentenced later.

Hill, East Cleveland, and filed writ
ten demand upon him that he pay
taxes on his personal property esti-
mated at 800, 100000 into the treas
ury of this country.
They claim that Snder the Warnes

the county for greater part of the
preceding twelve months, has made
himself liable 10 taxation here. The
total OF Rockefeiler's personal prop
erty IS as great as the entire tax dSN-

The tax officer did not see Rookie
feller personally, but left letter
notifying him of the demands with
members of his household. The Of

PLANS ARE
BEING PERFECTED
For the 9th Annual Reunion April
29--May 1, in aSle Metropolis of
Florida

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 5.-The
24th annual reunion of the Confeder-
ate Veterans Association and Sons
of Confederate Veterans will 1e held
III this city three days, April 20, so
and May /, and plans for entertaining g
them are now being perfected by the
officials of the Jacksonville Reunion
Association and thirty committees ap-
pointed by President Fore of the asso-
citation.
Jacksonville has an ambition to
entertain the survivors of the Con-
federate armies and their friends,
better if possible Ethan they have
ever been entertained before. An i'll
teresting program will be arranged
for the reception and entertainment
of the visitors and no matter how
large the attendance may be, all will
! be satisfactorily entertained. In
everything that goes to make the
handling of large crowds an easy
task, Jacksonville is we'll supplied
It has the transportation facilities
the hotels and streets, all necessary
TO successful handling Of reunion
crowds.
The Jacksonville program will
change in a. least two important
particulars the customary reunion
methods. 1t is the purpose of the
association to put many of the old
soldiers, who have at other reunions
| been cared for at a camp, in hotels
boarding houses and private homes
where they will have more comfort
able quarters and better entertain
ment Jacksonville believes that il
will be more pleasant for the vete
rams to be cared for in that manner
! than in camp, and many, if not all ot
| them will be assigned to such quar-
! tiers.
/ Another change in the program
will be seen in the parade Of the ole
soldiers. Instead of walking, they
will ride in carriages and automo
biles. 1t is realized here that a big
majority of the veterans who follow
