BREAKS INTO JAIL; NO JOKE
Bernstein Finds 1t Easier to Get Into
Tombs Than Out

New York, Oct. 23.-Hyman Bern
stein, 526 West One Hundred and
Twenty sixth street, strolled into the
Tombs prison yard yesterday. He was
the first man that ever voluntarily walk
ed into the Jail with a batch of pris-
oner:.
He had been spectator in the GEN
eral Sessions court rooms When thirty
five prisoners were sent back to the
prison in charge of Deputy Sheriffs Mil
Ter, Jacobs and Levy, he decided to 90
with them. He walked over the Bridge
of Sighs with the chain of men, and
began sauntering about the yard on a
sightseeing tour. Warden Hanley. VINO
was receiving the prisoners, noticed him
walking apart from the handcuffed line
and seized him.
81 just followed the crowd,' Bern
stein explained ''I thought they were
all going to the street.
He was locked UP in cell 80, former
ly occupied by Father Hans Schmidt
while census was taken to assure War
den Hanley that Bernstein had actually
entered innocently. Then he was re-
leased with warning not to walk into
the Tombs again, as it was not an
amusement resort.

WOES OF THE POOR RICH
How the Wife of One Wealthy Man
Got Her Spending Money

In the American Magazine, in story
by Rebecca Hooper Eastman, is a
satire on the poor rich, in which the
wife of wealthy man tells as follows
how she gets hold of her spending
money:
"Kitty, dear, / can't bear that you
should misjudge me, and so ! am going
to tell you what not soul in this
world knows. / have absolutely no
money and no way of getting any. Ny
husband doesn t think it is necessary
for me to have money when can
charge things. | owe you dollar.
You think | have forgotten, but | have
not. And L am going to pay you
when | can.
81 want to tell you that | have just
discovered a way to make money. You
see, | have borrowed so many small
sums for tips and car fares that | am
quite in debt.
"We have one of the finest cooks in
New York, as you know, and [ order
him to make cakes. He thinks they
are for bazar. In reality | sell
these cakes at certain woman s ex-
change for 81 loaf, cash, Kitty. /
leave my car at a nearby hotel, walk
through the hotel to the exchange on
the next street, wear plain suit and u
thick veil, which ! put on in the hotel

of court he be sent to Jail for not more than three
months, so that he would be released in January,
when sanitary conditions may not be as good as
they are now, and the undertaken S business may
be more brisk.
1t appears that the unfortunate undertaken was
greatly handicapped by his wife who, he alleges,
put him out of the house and took his embalming
implements just because he stayed at the morguc
late at night watching for possible funerals In this
particular the New York undertaker's s plight is a
sad one. As an individual in hard luck he has our
sympathy. AS an undertaken without funerals he
deserves commiseration. Business depression
among funeral directors is a happy condition of
affairs for humanity.
The undertaken in '.Oliver Twist " had his times
when ''cofins were looking up There are periods
of prosperity for funeral directors, certainly and
when death has to come these gentlemen in black
indispensable. When an undertaken business
is dull, however persons are not inclined to wish
him better times, though he has alimony pay
ments coming due.

AN UNDERTAKER's HARD LUCK

1t is hardly to be expected that the general
public will sympathze greatly with the New York
undertaken who says dull business has prevented
him from paying the thirteen weeks aimony for
which his wife has brought action pending suit
for separation. The defense submitted to the S,,.
preme Court justice by Undertaken A. L. McCor-
micks lawyer states that health conditions are so
good IN Manhattan at present that the funeral
directors are suffering, and points out that the $50
undertakers in the city had opportunities last week
to get only 12S funerals, because of the remarkably
low death rate.
The lawyer says he has found that some of the
New York undertakers follow ambulances to the
hospitals in their earnest efforts to get business
thus pursuing tactics Of the ambulance chasing
lawyers in that great city. Undertakers and law
yers in New York even have agreements he asserts
to profit jointly by the death in hospitals of persons
injured in accidents, the lawyer getting an action
for negligence and the undertaken getting the
funeral. The attorney shows that these conditions
make it much difficult for his client to get
business
In ending his plea, Mccormick s lawyer requests
that ii the undertaken be found guilty of contempt

Live on Postcard Sales

1t is understood that you have no
money, being out of work, so you de-
eide to sell postcards to provide the
wherewithall to purchase food on the
road. You dress in khaki suit and
hang a knapsack on your back, have
your picture taken and printed on sew
eral thousand postcards and start out.
The sale of these will keep you in
spending money until you reach the Ex-
position where you can find work and
have a good time. If you are lucky
enough to make more food money you
can ride on train, forgetting your am
bition to walk the entire distance. The
matter of transportation depends ON the
generosity of the public.

Walking at Public's Expense

If you are tired of working and are
in excellent health take walk at the
expense of the general public. 1t is
easy. Lots of people are doing it and
that in itself is proof enough that it
beats work a-day life in factory OF
office, To Aart out all you do is this:
Have the chief of police or the mayor
of your town write you this kind of a
letter:
"This certifes that John Jones and
William Smith, of Smithport, have
started to walk to the Panama Pacific
Exposition, on this day, October 23
1914, hoping to be there in time fol

NOT FIGHTING AWAY BUSINESS

We do not believe stories that are being circu-
lated in some quarters that there is deliberate
effort on the part of big manufacturers and big
business men generally to make business worse
than it otherwise would be for the sake of advan-
cling the interests of this party that in the pres
ent political campaign 1t may be true that in
some few big corporations are concealing the
amount of business they are doing with the hope
of gaining thereby some advantage for particular
party, but as for these corporations in any large
number, deliberately closing down their mills or
refraining from trying to develop business
until after election day,--that is all bosh
Everybody recognizes that the war in Europe
has had depressing effect on the business of the
whole world in which this country, of course, must
share, at least temporarily but the idea that Amer
lean business men are setting about purposely to
make business worse at this more or less critical
period is absurd from any viewpoint.
American business want business. They are
not fighting it away. The possible advantage that
may be gained by corporation through the elec-
tion of one candidate another cannot in any way
be measured with the disadvantage to that corpora
tion of its mills being idle or running at reduced
capacity.
Patriotic business meu,-and we are not so pes
slmistic as to take tn that any great number
of them lack patr are doing everything
they know how to do to overcome the setback to
business that the has been responsible for
And their efforts are rapidly bearing fruit, one of
the most convincing signs of which is statement
obtained from the New York Custom House YES
terday showing increase of almost 81 900 900 in
exports from that port in the last % days as com
pared with the same period in 1913 when there
was no war.

The City and the Child

New York City--the length and
breadth of Manhattan--and Boston,
from the Fenway in three directions to
the water front are as unfit for a child
to grow up in as the basement of a
china store for calf. There might
be hay enough on such floor for the
salf, as there is doubtless air enough
on New York City street for child.
1t is not the lack of things-not even
air-in a city that renders life next to
impossible there. 1t is rather the mul-
titude of things. City life is three
ringed circus, with continuous per
formance and interminable side shows
and peanuts and pink lemonade. 1t
is Jared and iostled and trampled and
crowded and hurried, and it is over
stimulated, spindling and premature

How They Go West

From Harrisburg they start West by
the Cumberland Valley route afterward
hitting the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, again. Most of them
have been in Philadelphia, which is a
poor city to work,-the pedestrians
make no bones about telling how CON
servative Philadelphia is in the matter
of giving them aid,-and they try to
make up for it in Harrisburg. The ma
'iority of them come from New York
State and few from New Jersey. They
never reach city that they do not dis
cover that great many others are
working the same scheme to make a
living, so they vary the game a trife
to make it appeal to the genial public
at whose expense they are making a
living. One pair, a mah and woman,
are walking West on their honeymoon
another fellow has an Eskimo dog and
is on a 100000 mile journey, he says;
several more, from foreign cline, are
rolling big barrel across the country;
blind man has a dog leading him;
scores more are doing the walk ION
wagers; the great majority, however,
are selling postcards hoping to get
West by the sale of them. No matter
how they vary their excuses, they are
all in the same class so far as the po-
lice are concerned.

tired of signing papers every other day
and that soon ended the wager bust
ness, so now the pedestrians just start
out with a supply of postcards and hope
to make expenses by the sale of them.
1t is safe bet that hundreds of young
men are taking Horace Greeley s ad.
vice and it is also safe bet that Hor.
ace Greeley did not mean that the
young men should "go West" at the
expense of the public.

is opposed to putting any such person

tells the pedestrians so. However, with
permission or not, they 20 about selling
cards to get funds to take them to the
next city. 1t may be that Harrisburg
is unfortunate in this respect, being on
a direct route west, for we get so

do give up before they cross the noun

Not What Greeley Meant

Walking on wager seemed to be
the big thing several years ago but no
inquirer could discover who made the
wager. The money at stake always was
in the thousands of dollars, the most
used figure being $4,000. In order
to win the wager it was necessary to
get the signature of the mayor of every
State Capitol or the Governor of the
State to paper. That was good
start but mayors and Governors got
