Unusual Hiding Place 10 Discovered
BY Officers In Search Made
Saturday
Night
Frank BrasseII Named A. Owner In
Papers Filed In the Super
ior Court This
Morning

It's hard TO put booze where no
one can find it. even If you specialize
in the practice. Frank Brassell Is not
the only man who has learned this
through experience out his case Is
little unusual and 1t came to light in
the superior court today.
Chief Of Police Kenney and Officer
Wilson, while taking their customary
constitutional Saturday evening at 8
o'clock, saw. at an alley near Fourth
and Johnson. man whom they rec
ognized as Frank Brassell, pass into
the alley carrying large grip.
They kept their eyes open and pre-
sently were rewarded by seeing the
same man emerge from the alley
minus the grip.
Brassell evaded them and eluded
them. So they looked for the grip
they were sure was to be found not
far away If 1t were to be found at all.
Wilson Makes Discovery.
The search was long one and a
careful one. Il was about given up
when discovery was made. In an
clubhouse bordering the alley Officer
Wilson noticed something peculiar in
the construction of the board floor.
He called the attention OF the chief
: Together the two men studied the
boards. Then they found the right
one which they lifted. Underneath
was a compartment dug in the earth
OF just the right size to Accommodate
the grip that had been carried into
the alley by Brassell.
The grip was there. They opened
it and found therein some three doz-
en- half pint bottle of whiskey and
eleven full pint bottles containing
the same variety Of liquid cheer.
Notice Of Seizure Filed.
In the superior court today notice
of seizure was filed and July 5 set
as the date for Brassell to appear and
show cause why the goods 30 dis
covered should not be confiscated &C
cording to due process Of law. The
police very much DOUBT Brassell's de
sire to recover the goods. Brassell is
known to the police as travelling
bootlegger."
Roswell McElroy. colored, paid costs
in the superior court today for the
larceny Of saw, said to have been
stolen by him from William Scherer
The saw was returned to the owner
Ira Guy, cigar manufacturer. OF

Evening Post.]
NEW YORK, June 22.-After a
rather desultory show Of strength in
the early hours, today's stock market
grew irregular and fell back TO yes
terday's prices, or fraction lower.
In the closing hour, however, a gen.
eral recovery ensued, the market clos
ing distinctly strong. There was I'M
doubtedly some scattered selling for
European account, in both stocks and
bonds and this was naturally ascribed
to realizing by English investors,
preparatory to subscribing to the new
81, ESQ, 900, 900 war loan But the sales
were not large, and hardly gave any
definite Elimination of a general move
ment. The most curious phenomenon
in this matter, is that Wall street
instead of shuddering at the mention
Of European liquidation as it did last
autumn Is at present in a mood to en-
courage sale of foreign holdings of
our securities. Instead OF a plaintive
try to prevent such selling, the word
now seems to be why does Europe
put off it's sale" This mood may
partly result from increasing belief
that the European investor will not
sell. But ii also certainly reflects in
part feeling that sooner or later, the
bulk Of these foreign holdings will
come back to us: that we ara able to
take them with no great inconvent-
ence; that we, as well as Europe.
would welcome the resultant STABILIZE
ing Of exchange on Europe; and
therefore, that the sooner the process
is over. the better.

THE COST OF A SONG.

THE COST OF A SONG.
Over and over, the songs of our lite
are sung,
The same today as In ashes gray, when
first the lutte was strung.
The same today as In ashes gray. when
the singers highest art
Is to sing OF man and the soul Of man
from the depths Of the human
heart. ...
The singer who sang Of the pyramid $
prime has gone the ways OF
men;
But the sun and moon and human
heart are just the same as then
The heart of man Is restless sea OF
varied star and chime.
And only when It's depths are stirred
comes song on the shores OF
time.
