Furs are worn by ladies in cold
weather In order to overhead them
selves. and to cause other ladies to
be envious.
Furs are valuable in proportion
to the success with which the orig
inal owners have been killed off.
Every set of furs is monument
to a murder, and no lady's ward
robe is complete without them.
Only one thought makes US sad
when we think of furs. All the ami
mails that are still left are in entire
ignorance of the glory that the rest
of their companions, whose skins
are largely worn on avenues and in
limousine have come into. If they
could only know this, how they
would swell with pride!-lLife.

A Jewish boy came to this coun-

purse but a boundlcss ambition in
his heart. He had determination,
courage and physical strength. He
was honest and Trustworthy. He
had been taught by virtuous parents
and he brought their benediction
with him when he landed. a stran-
ger in a strange land.
Beginning as an humble errand
boy in a shop, he rose to a place be-
hind the counter and speedily to the
ownership of IA little establishment
Small it was, but it was the day OF
opportunity and he made the most
of his.
Fifty years have passed. The
monument to his zeal and integrity
is a magnificent business block, one
of the largest of its kind on the
most fashionable thOroughfare of
trade in the greatest city of the
land. Here the little Jewish boy
reached the elimination of his aspi-

dreams. Wealth poured in upon
him in ceaseless and increasing
stream. lie devoted much of il 10

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS ARE
VICTIMS Of k|ONAPERS
Fashionably ALFRED Man and
Woman Try To Lure Girls
Into Auto.

Philadelphia, Feb. -. 49, Three
hundred and twenty-seven women
and girls disappeared from their
homes in tbs city during 1913, and,
although the police and private de-
tectives have made every effort to
find them, searches have been
unsuccessful. In many cases the
police admit that they believe the
young girls are in the hands of
white slavers or have been captives
in disreputable resorts so long that
they fear to face their families.
The police refused to make this
when, through three separate at
tempts at kidnapping party young
girls by woman and man in an au-
tCmobile, the conclusion has teer
tOI ced upon the authorities that
there is more in the Disappearance
'han the ruarinr away from home.
Twice during the last week a
highpowered car has stopped before
Chestnut-street candy stores and "A
handsomely gowned inmate has en-
deavored to make engagements with
the prettiest of the store girls Ito I
take them riding" In one case a
young woman was thrown forcibly |
into the automobile, but she made |
such an cutlery that the man and |
woman occupants were glad to drop |
her, threw on the high-gear and |
sped away.
But the police declare that all of |
the unaccounted for disappearance |
cannot be charged to white slavers. |
In many cases. they say. their in
vestigation shows that the the wom-
en- who have been reported as hav-
ing disappeared are married, and
careful investigation has shown that
there usually was another man in
the case other than the deserted
husband.
During 1913 there were 1879
disappearance reported in the city.
In nearly every case where the dis
appearance reorted was that of a
man. his disappearance has been re-
ported in few days or his body is
found in the river. But in the case of
young girls the police have been so
much at sea that the Missing Blu

dition of several Investigators.

AUTOMOBILE KILLINGS
IN CITY Of LOUISVILLE
Do Not Seem To Be a Very
Serious Matter With
The Juries.

Joseph f. Burghard, whose au-
tomobile killed Edward Messmer. a
baker, at Fourteenth street and
Broadway early New Years day,
was acquitted by jury in Judge
Jane P.Gregorys court yesterday
afternoon, the jury celebrating an
hour and forty-iive minutes"
The foregoing statement is taken
1t will be noted that the killing of
Messmer occurred early New Years
day" The New Year. we are told,
is the time for the making of new
resolutions.
Prior to the New Year of 1914 II
was an accepted fact that, by a res
olution to which all juries in such
cases adhered, the fine for such kill
ings should in no instance exceed
$500. If the 1914 resolution is adj
hered to by future iuries, such kill
ings will, in no instance, be subject
to a fine. Court costs, attorneys
fees and certain measure of disa-
greeable publicity will be consider
ed a sufficient punishment.
The undisputed facts in the Mess
mer killing are as follows: There
was a New Years Eve party at
which champagne added to the gay
ETY.. Burghard took all but one of
his guests to their homes, and was
returning with him when Messmer
and a companion started to cross the |
street at Fourteenth and Broadway |
the machine. at the time Messmer
was struck, was not being driven at
a greater rate of speed than fifteen
miles AN hour. The evidence of the
Coroner is that Messmer's body was
so crushed and mutilated as to lead
to surmise whether any part of 1t
would have been discovered had the
machine been actually driven at for
ty miles an hour, as some of the wit
nesses testified. That the defend
ant, after his car struck Messmer
failed to stop. and drove off at what
even he admits to be a rapid rate,
IS not controverted. That his attor-
ney offered to pay fine before the
case went to the jury is admitted
both by Mr.. Edwards and by Mr..
Huffaker.
The defendant was acquitted. In
he light of that acquittal it is diff
tut to forecast the circumstances
inder which conviction can be Sc
,ured.
For its part, The Times is not
greatly impressed either with the
wisdom or the justice of the 1914
