| If any man could forecast with toll
cradle accuracy the duration of love

ferent temperaments, he would be
apt to pile up a colossal fortune, so
many would seek his advice. If there
was but one quality of love, that which
would be kind and true, all would be
we'll There would be no jealous hearts
nor wives then.
The love which grows wings in time
becomes restless. Though ever so
much devotion is lavished upon it it
fiutters away in spite of all efforts to
control 1t.
1t is seldom that love takes flight all
at once. 1t goes in portions, as 1t
were. The first is labeled affection,
the second kindness, the third inter-
est. federation is left behind for a
while The wife who finds that this is
all that's left of love should not de-
spair. She should put forth the great
est efforts of her life to attract back
to their rest in her husbands heart the
parts that have gone astrs.y. They may

ARREST IS NEAR,
SAYS INSPECTOR
New Theory Is That Murder Was
Committed in Pitt Street
Two Men Sought.

Positive identification Of the man whose
body was found in a trunk in Pitt street
rewarded Inspector Faurot's personal
work on the case yesterday and it is the
inspectors prediction that arrests are
only matter OF hours.
The dead man. il has been established.
was Ivan Martysewisch. who. according
10 Paul SzuckowitZ. a livery stable keep
er, came 10 New York on December 20
from Garrison. where he had been en-
ployed by contracting company. lie
had with him $50. which he took to the
sky. at No los East Broadway. There he
sent practically the entire amount to his
father in Poland. This was the last
Szuckowitz saw of the young man.
Inspector Faurot il working on the the
DRY that the murder war committed in
Pitt street. ii he gets proof Of this. he
says. it will be matter of A very short
time before the criminals in the case are
apprehendeG.
The inspector cited case Of some years
ago, where the body of a Polack was found
I'm one OF the East Side streets. When the
investigation was concluded it was shown
that the persons with whom the man lived
had thrown his body from "A third story
window of the tenement house less than
fifteen minutes after he had died.
Despite the lack of clews which would
tend to show that the man was murdered
Mr.. Faurot has continued TO investigate
the case.
Detectives in Newark are seeking to
locate two Polacks. brothers. who have
been missing since December II, the date
on which the dead man was seen last.
Inspector Faurot is anxious also to To-
cate the laborer known as No. III, who
was the dead mans nearest friend. 1t is
from him the detectives are confident that
the dead mans personal affairs can be
learned and also as to where he lived just
previous to death.
The only description the detectives have
TO work on is that the man they seek is
about thirty-five years old, weighs 10
pounds, has a bushy red mustache is OF
medium height and walks with limp lie

twelve others by the Donovan Contracting
Company for road work at Garrison, n. Y.
This was last September.
The detectives assigned to New Jersey
in their search for the dead mans friend
learned that man named Peter Winczo-
voowski lived with his brother, Wasil, az
No. 323 Bank street In the absence OF
either Of the two brothers the detectives
were unable to confirm a report that Peter
has not been seen at the house since De-
cember II. 1t was on this day that the
dead man, who was known at the Gar

KISS AS KISS CAN
A FAD in YONKERS
Judge Called Mean for Filming
Embracing Pair Easy on
Next Offender.

City Judge Joseph II. Beall of Yonk
ers, who on Christmas Day imposed
fines of So apiece on a man and
woman who were arrested there while
kissing each other in the street, yester-
day showed the newspaper men an
anonymous letter which he received a
day or two after the incident. 1t was
postmarked New York, and read:
Judge Beall, meanest man in the
United States. Fine a couple Sc for
kiss! You ought TO have fined the po-
liceman $500 for arresting the couple.
Where were you born-Patagonia or
Japan? Or maybe YOU grew on a tree
in Mexico. You are a brute. and may
you never have q friendly kiss from
maiden, wife or sweetheart"
AS postscript the writer added:
Hope your wife refused you a kiss
or Christmas Day"
The magistrate is in doubt whether
the letter was sent by some one who
really felt critical or whether it came
from an acquaintance, who was poking
fun at him. At any rate, he consid-
cred the letter a joke, and laughed
heartily over it.
However. there is no question but
what Judge Beall's attitude toward
embracing couples is softened.
There was arraigned before him yes
terday Charles j. Meyer, twenty-five
years old. book agent. of Ridgewood,
y. j.. who was charged with trying to
kiss pretty Miss Gertrude Sipp. twenty
years old. of 70 .kers avenue, on Tues
day. Miss Sipp was alone in the house
when the agent called, and, as he said
later. he could not resist the temptation
to try 10 steal a kiss. Miss Sipp
lodged, however, and Meyer was dis
appointed. she had Meyer arrested.
In court yesterday the. girl and her
Parents relented and asked to be al
lowed to withdraw the complaint.
Meyer admitted trying to kiss the girl
| and apologized
Judge Beall smiled as he permitted
the withdrawal of the complaint and
discharged Meyer.
