STATES ATTY HoYNE PROBES
POWER OF ACCUSED POLICE
The powerful influences said to be
at work to save Capt. John j. Halpin
and other members of the police de-
partment, now under indictment as a
result of confessions made by Barney
Bertsche, Frank and Jimmy Ryan,
are being investigated by States Atty
Hoyne.
Tips received by the prosecutor in
dictate that this influence has been
even extended among members of the
state legislature and that pressure is
now being brought to bear to have
Bertsche and Jimmy Ryan lodged in
the state penitentiary on the convic-
ton secured against them in the
clairvoyant cases.
1t is generally understood that to
reach at graft in the police depart
ment Hoyne consented to ask that
Bertsche and Jimmy Ryan be par
doned.
If they were placed in the peniten-
tiary at this time, with the police
graft about to come to trial, it would
be blow to Hoyne's prosecution.
Recently it was reported that ATT
torney General Patrick Lucey was
going to court to enforce the imme-
date Imprisonment of Bertsche and
Ryan Hoyne's Office got busy and
since then nothing has been heard
from Lucey.
1t is that matter that Hoyne is said
to have been investigating during his
absence from the Office for the last
few days. 1t is known that all the
accused men have powerful friends
who are willing to go the limit to
save TENN.
1t is also known that some of these
men are powerful politicians whose

RECORD MAY DECIDE CASE OF
GRAND OPERA TENOR.
Lincoln, Neb., April pa phono-
graphic record made in 1910 may be
used to decide whether Walter
Wheatley, grand opera tenor and
formerly prominent member of the
Aborn company, is innocent of charge
of embezzling $350,000 from Ameri-
Gus, Ca, National bank, which failed
last year because of embezzlement
by cashier known as George D.
Wheatley.
Wheatley says the photograph rec
ord was made in England in 1910 and
he offers to establish his identity and
prove an alibi by singing for govern
ment agents to show that the voice
on the record and his own are the
same. The missing cashier, who was
also a singer, was assistant cashier
at Americas from 1906 to 1914 and
was not in London in 1910. -

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
4 waiting Market.

The stock market was a repetition,
practically speaking. Of the session on
Wednesday, except that the range OF
prices was narrower. Tho strength
originated in a desire on the part of
small spectators to cover short con
tracts and play for a rally. Trading
was a little less pessimistic, or per-
haps was finding the short side unprof-
table. In the recent past it has been
difficult for the trader to make money.
The market has apparently been weak.
Prices have yielded easily. but they
have also come back no less easily az
soon as attempts were made to take
profits. Under these conditions, and
since tho market is near enough to the
minimum price barrier to derive a GER
tain amount of artificial support there
from. trading operations la been tenn
porarily discouraged. There Is no
evidence of operations on a larger scale
than those undertaken by the profess.
sional element. The large interests evil

position to do anything except hold on
to what II has. The public 4. de-
crlbed as bullish on its money for the
time being. The Wall Street view is

well educated Is a pitiable thing.
How often stenographers are morti-
fed by the use of some unfamiliar
word or term, or quotation, because
of the shallowness OF their prepara-
ton! II is not enough to be able to
take dictation when ordinary letters
are given, not enough to do the ordi-
nary routine OF Office work. The am
bilious stenographer must be pre-
pared for the unusual word or express
sion, must have good reserves Of
knowledge TO draw from In case Of
emergency. If she is constantly slip
ping up on her grammar, or is all at
sea the moment she steps out OF her
ordinary routine, her employer knows
that her preparation is shallow, that
her education is limited. and her pros
poets will be limited, also.
Everywhere we go we see men and
women, especially from twenty-five to
forty years OF age, who are cramped
and seriously handicapped by the lack
OF early training. I often receive let
ters from such people, asking II 1t is

schools, lectures, books, Libraries and
periodicals, that men and women who
are determined to improve themselves
have abundant opportunities to do so.
One trouble with people who are
smarting under the consciousness OF
deficient education is that they do
not realize the immense value of util.
izing spare minutes. Like many boys
who will not save their pennies and
small change because they cannot see
how a fortune could ever grow by
the saving, they cannot see how little
studying here and there each day will
ever amount to a good substitute for
a college education.
People who feel their lack OF educa
tion. and who can afford the outlay,
can make wonderful strides in a year
by putting themselves under good tu.
tors, who will direct their reading and
study along different lines.
There Is one special advantage in
self-education-you can adapt the
studies 10 your own particular needs
better than you could In school or col
lege. Everyone who reaches middle
life without an education should first
read and study along the line OF his
own vocation. and then broaden him
self as much as possible by reading
on other lines.
Every wellordered household ought
TO protect the time OF those who do
sire to study at home. At fixed
hour every evening during the long
winter there should be by common
consent a quiet period for mental con
centration, for what is worth while In
mental discipline, quiet hour unin.
