BOY THIEF
DIES HERO
.Paro|ed Youth. Fits Up Home
for Mother; Killed Res
CuIDg friend

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 12.--judge
John j. Dobler, of the criminal court,
has received information CT the death
of a boy thief whom. he had paroled
and who had won a fight with himself
and had established a home for his
mother and a name for himself des-
pite Il bad start.
EARLY last spring the youth came
here with two companions for the
purpose Of robbing a factory. The
detectives had sue la clear case
against one of the boysethat convic-
, ton was certain. II. ,
Little could be said in favor of the
young man. lie knew that his moth
cr was extremely poor and that his
father was in the insane asylum. In
stead of helping bear the burden OF
the mother he had left home, driftcd
from city to city. and when he be-
came involved in minor troubles drew
relief from the scanty savings at
home. Judge Dchler was not inclined
to be l%enient, but the pleas Of the mo-
Their won and a parole was granted.
The youth left Baltimore, returned
to his mother and for a time maintain
ed his associations with men who
were worthless. Then suddenly there
came a change and a realization OF
duty. He went to New York and got
employment in the freight division Of
a railroad. He had a remarkable apti-
tude for this work. He was promoted
three times within as many months,
finally being made an assistant pay.
master.
He saved his money, fitted up a
little flat and sent for his mother. On
the day she arrived he had supper
ready for her. This was early. in
December, and there was JOY in the
hearts of both as they looked forward
to a year Of joy.
Intuition told the mother that the
reformation of her boy was complete.
One morning when the lad was leav-
ing for work he asked her to write
to some Baltimore friends who show
ed him the way to better things. He
said he intended writing to Judge
Dobler personally.

WIDOWS ARE
CROOKS PREY
Invest Money on Least Per-
suaslon From Unpfincp|ed
SWiDd|erS

New York, Jan. 12.~-According to
the estimate OF Sylvester c. Dun
ham, head of one of the large insur-
ance companies, swindlers procured
$770, 100000 In the last year from
widows and inexperienced investors
in the United States.
Durham declares widows are more
easily persuaded to invest in "blue
sky" propositions than any other class
of persons, for the reason that they
believe most of what is told them. He
declares they are not so wise as they
should be, after having been married.
"A fairly good looking looking man,
kho can talk: only ,passably we'll, can
persuade most any widow that his
particular brand of investment will
bring her an income for life," says
the life insurance head. ~,
In the last year the government
has exposed fraudulent schemes which
in that period alone have added ST.
600, 900 to the bank rolls of'tfre.. swind-
lers, according to low estimates land
Dunaham thinks his estimate that ten
times that amount has been, plucked
by means of swindles not, yet detect
ed is equallf conservative. Mani OF
the schemes for making easy money
from trusting widows are not discov-
cred because 0 fthe legal advice given
by celyer but dishonest lawyers, who
are attorneys for the swindlers.
It is declared that the trade in
Sucker lists" as the compiled names
of prospective purchasers are called,
is more flourishing than it ever has
been before. Lists may be procured
from many of the large corporations
for a nominal sum.

BRIDGE OF THE GODS
TO BE- STAGED AGAIN

A big honor has come to Miss Mabel
Ferris, who dramatlzed "Ihe Bridge
Of the Gods, " the romantic novel, deal
ing with local Indian legends and
written by F H. Balch the early pio-
neer minister, a brother Of Mrs. }. W.
Ingalls,, and who resided for a time in
Hood River, says a dispatch from New
York to the Oregonian. Miss Ferris.
who has visited Mrs. ingalls,, has just
been commissioned to produce her
great pageant-drama, virtually under
the auspices Of the state Of Oklahoma.
As a matter Of fact, she has been en-
ganged by the San Francisco Fair
Commission of Oklahoma to present
her big open air production so that the
commission may increase the fund with
which IL has to work in preparing the
states exhibition at the Panama Pa
cilic exposition in 1915.
Miss Ferris, who has been living in
New York for two years, was surprised
about four weeks ago by the receipt Of
a telegram from Commissioner Russell,
Of the Oklahoma fair commission, ask
ing her to start for Oklahoma City at
once. His brief dispatch said that his
commission had heard of her work and
had decided to engage her to reproduce
her pageant-drama in the principal cit
les of Oklahoma if her time was so ar
anged that she could accept.
When she arrived at Oklahoma's s cap
ital she found Mr.. Russell and his fell
low commissioners practically had made
arrangements for the presentation of
HasI - h., l,rf f,t Ia no, 81,
City and Tulsa and were going ahead
with the arrangements in other cities.
And, anyway, they said, when Miss
Ferris at first objected TO such preeipi-
tate action, Oklahoma was pageant
mad and would have the pageant
whether or no.
She then and there promised to re-
turn in August and superintend the re-
hearsals and to be prepared to remain
until Oklahoma had its fill Of pageant
ry.
She engaged Winifred Gray Oracle.

airy rehearsing. Mrs, Oracle is in Ok
lahOma City looking after the prelim-
mary training of principals and starting
the rehearsaIs with the great body of
men ana women necessary 10 the prop
er presentation Of the dramatic story
Of Wallulah and her white missionary
lover.
When Miss Ferris was making her
arrangements with Commissioner Rus
sell, in Oklahoma City, he told her
that his commission had been looking
about for several weeks for something
in which the whole people of Oklahoma
could become interested, but which at
the same time would give them a
chance to contribute materially to the
larger fund needed for the commits
sion's plans. He had heard of the tre-
mcndous success which her pageant
drama had achieved in Portland in 1912
and in Astoria in 1911, but had forgot
ten it until it was brought to his mind
again by friend who had seen the or
iginal presentation in Astoria.
