many warm new muffiers were sent in.

notice.
Rock Island House Gives Lunch.
The Rock Island House cafe has do
mated lunch TO the committee of la
dies working for the committee. offer
ing them a private room for the three
days that they will be occupied with
the work. The courtesy is greatly APP
preciated both by the committee Of
ladies and by The Argus. under whose
auspices they are working.
There have been sent to The Argus
ever so many toys that have been used
by children which they have out
grown but are still in excellent condi-
ton. but the practice has been estab-
lished OF giving no second hand cloth
ing or gifts of any kind through The
Argus Santa Claus Fund and will
therefore not be distributed in that
way. But they are being given out
through other societies and institu-
tions who have set themselves no such
a practice and every article will be
given where some child will appreci-
ate Il. The Argus committee has
been very glad to accept these gifts
and glad that there is some place
where they can be placed where they
will be appreciated by the recipient
with the spirit of gratitude that is pro-
portionate to the spirit of love that
prompted the giving of the gifts.
Donations of money have continued
to come in throughout the week and
the fund is steadily growing and will
undoubtedly equal the amount con-
tributed in other years. II is needed
too, for there are at least 200 more
children to take care of than last year.
The committee has been most graft
fed with the manner in which con-
tributions have come in, in spite of
the fact that money is tight and that
people are not spending as much as
in former years. and il is going TO
mean a great deal of happiness-both
to the children who are benefited and
to those who have given of their
means and time and effort to make
them so.
Committee Needs Autos.
The committee will need a number
of automobiles TO use in delivering the
gifts Thursday and If there are any
who can donate the use OF a machine
for a day or half day. or even a few
hours. the courtesy will be greatly ap-
preciated. The committee does not
feel that il can afford to take cent
away from the children to use for the I
purpose OF. hiring machines and for
that reason has made this appeal to !
the public.
Contributions to the fund will be re- !,
ceived up till Christmas and those l
who give can rest assured that every /
cent will be expended wisely and TO !
the very best advantage.

OLD OFFENDER
AGAIN ARRESTED
KempeI, Convicted Of Burglary
Several Times, Held for
Grand Jury.

George Kempel, forty yeas old, who
is said to have long criminal record.
was held in $1,000 bail to await grand
jury action by Acting Judge Yuill, in
the Fourth Precinct Police Court to-
day. He was charged with larceny.
Kempel has served three terms in
State prison. He was arrested in Thir-
tenth avenue, near Bruce street, late
yesterday afternoon by Plainclothes-
men Kaas and King, of the Fourth
precinct. The officers were afterward
complimented for the capture by
Captain Oscar Vogel
1t is said that on July Kempel
was seen coming from the apartments
of Frank Hohas, 1855 Camden street,
by Henry Settler, jr., fourteen year
old boy. who lives on the second floor.
Hohas lives in the first floor. Hohas
came home directly after the man
was seen coming from his home and
was informed by young Settler of
what he had seen.
Seeing Kempel walking up the
street Hohas started in pursuit.
Kempel saw the man coming and
started on run, but Hohas caught
him. Kempel then told Hohas that
he had gone in the apartment to get
bottle of beer. Seeing Hohas in
pursuit of him he thought that he
meant to do him bodily harm and had
ran away. Hohas believed the mans
story and let him go. Returning home
he missed a quantity of jewe ry
worth about SOS. Among the missing
articles there were three silver
watches. Plainclothesmen Kaas and
King, of the Fourth precinct, were
inforfaaad nf he ~
Kempel on Thirteenth avenue, near
Bruce street late yesterday after
noon. Kempel told the two officers
the same story that he had told Ho-
has, but the detectives placed him I'M
der arrest.
Captain Vogel told the two police
men to search KempePs room, at 1866
Prince street. They found one of the
silver watches and f1ashlight Kem-
pei then admitted that he had COM
mitted the robbery and had pawned
the jewelry in New York.
He said that the pawn tickets were
with a friend in Hoboken.
Kempel was arrested in 1899 by De-
tectiye Koerber, now lieutenant in
the Fourth precinct, for burglary. He
was sentenced to five years in State
prison. He was again arrested in
1904 for a similar offense and SEN
fenced to serve five years. In 1911 he
was again arrested by Policemen Cort
and Mclaughlin, of the Sixth pre-
cinct, as he was burglarizing a house
III the Clinton Hill section. For this
offensef he was sent away for three
years. Kempel was released last jan
uary.
In commenting on the arrest, Cap
tain Vogel said that it was one of the
best that had ever been made in his
precinct

Measure of Distances
About Carman Home to
Show Slayer's Height

FREEPORT, L. l., July 11.-Under
the orders of Sheriff Stephen p.
Petit and District Attorney Lewis
J. Smith, experts have been making
careful measurements of heights, dis
tances and angles around the Car
man house and lawn and DIR. Car
mans private office. The district at
torney himself has taken part in
this work. 1t is thought that, taken
together, the data may show the
height of the person who killed Mrs
Bailey. There has not been time fully
to work out the results.
The distance from the ground to
the office window sill is about four
feet. Add two inches to this for the
bottom frame of the sash of the
broken window, and from four to six
inches for the pieces of broken glass
still sticking in the frame after 1t
was broken. Whoever fred the shot
must have held the pistol not less
than four feet six inches above the
ground level. That is the minimum
height; it might have been more.
Mr.. Smith said today that the
course of the bullet, as marked by its
nick in the surgical instrument case
and by its direction through Mrs.
Bailey's body. indicates that the
pistol was fired at slight upward
elevation.
The district attorney himself is five
feet six and a half inches in height.
The average person, it is conceded
in firing holds a revolver about
straight out from the arm. Smith,
standing in the exact position of the
person who fired the shot, and that
persons position at the time has been
fairly definitely established, and
pointing revolver at the same an
gle which the bullet evidently took
found that, had he fired, the bullet
would have gone trihe lower than
1t actually did go. This, it would
seem, furnishes good evidence thai
the person who killed Mrs. Bailey
must have Deen taller than the dis
trict atorney-from five feet seven tc
five feet eight.
The bullet entered Mrs. Bailey's
right shoulder and, detected by g
bone, described a slight arc.
Its course, it is held, thus disproveS
the theory that Mrs. Bailey was shot
while lying down If she had been
the shot would necessarily have beer
fired at downward angle instead OF
an upward one.

HALF-HOL|DAYS
BEGUN IN STORES
Department Stores lnaugurate
Summer Closing Schedule for
Benefit of Employees.

The new half holiday schedule went
into effect in the Newark department
stores today Some of the stores
closed at noon, others at l p. m.fThis
program will be continued until the
Saturday before Labor Day. Only
one of the Newark stores has failed
to adopt the summer schedule. No
tice of the early closing has been
posted in the stores, and printed in
the newspapers so that shoppers
might not be taken unawares.
Bamberger's closed at noon today
1t will continue the noon closing on
Saturdays during July and August.
After that Saturdays will be regarded
the same as any other weekday, as
far as the hour of closing is con-
cerned That is to say, from a. m.
to $50 or p. m.
A similar rule has been inaugurated
by Plaut q Co. and Oscar Michael &
Co. formerly w V. Snyder & Coz.
Hahnes closes at 1 p. m. Saturdays;
at 80 on other days during the week.
All the large stores mentioned have
agreed to close on Saturdays, begin
ming with the fall, at $3.50 or so, the
same as on other week days.
Bedelrs closes at 1 p. m. during the
summer months; Lissners at noon.
The proprietors of the large stores
do not think that the early closing
hours will divert much business to
the stores which keep open until late
on Saturdays. The manager of one of
the largest department stores said:
AT first small part of the pur-
chasing public will go elsewhere when
1t finds our stores closed but within
a few weeks, even these people VIII
have been educated to make their
purchases within the hours during
which we keep open. I hardly think
our early closing will cause much of
a difference to the other class of
stores; anyway, not permanently"

BY FRED l.. BOALT
staff Special,

VERA CRUZ, Mexico.-When the
Americans took Vera Cruz, an ensign,
in student days perhaps the best full
back that Annapolis ever had, had
command of a squad of men who
took many prisoners.
The prisoners were corralled in a
room. At a word from the ensign
they were released and told to scurry
for the next corner. Those who reach
ed it in safety. in the opinion of the
ensign, deserved to live.
But very few did.
The ensign applied the Ley de
Fuga"-the law of flight The law
of flight is not necessary. The rules
of civilized warfare forbid the appli-
cation of the law of flight Hun
dreds of American naval officers APP
piled the forbidden law of fight and
made sport of the prisoners.
l have been told that it is fun to
see the prisoners run. When / was
boy l had a bulldog who applied
the law of flight. The trick was for
the dog to catch, if he could, all the
rats before they reached the split
rail fence which surrounded the pas
ture. Once through the fence there
was no catch. The rats lost them
selves in the tall grass. I remember
that the first rat that left the trap
never got more than a foot from it.
The second got yard away, and
SO on.
But it was very seldom that even
the last rat escaped that bulldogs
swapping jaws. l imagine that my
bulldog and the young ensign of ex-
football star fame, whom have men
toned. both of whom applied the law
of fight, are somewhat alike.
