Ben LindseU

The effort of envious parties in
Colorado to get Judge Ben Lindsey
out of the way will die abornin', as
the saying is. Judge Lindsey has
made his fame to extend around the
world in establishing the juvenile
court at Denver. The Colorado legis-
lature has passed the bill removing
Judge Lindsey to its second reading,
putting the court under the jurisdic
ton of the district court. It's final
passage seems assured.
1t will take long time for the in
fluence of Judge Lindsey to perish,
and his fame will doubtless long out
live the enemies who are thus SEEN
ing to dethrone him. The fact that
Judge Lindsey promulgated the doc
trine that the street arab had soul
in him seems to have melted envy,
He made many a man out of a bad
boy by a process peculiarly his own,
which was primarily being kind and
considerable of the poor boy made bad
by environment or associations, or
poor tutelage or bad example. Any
man who thinks that boy, regardless
of his bringing up may be not with
out honor, is getting near to where
he will make good citizen where a
criminal was in the making before.
He has made many good man out of
bad boy. His belief in the honor
of boys was evidenced by sending
hundreds of boys sentenced to the in
dustrial school at Golden, Col, un-
attended, and only five of them ever
betrayed the trust. In doing all that
he has done, Ben Lindsey has built up
a political following all over the coun-
try, and there are people in every
state who believe that nothing is too
good for him. Maybe the nation will
have something in store yet for this
very human judge who had the sa-
gacity and the heart to feel for boys.

Grantwood Notes.

Charlie Leeger, who attended the
funeral of Mrs. Alfred C. Church in
Pittsford, Michigan, two weeks ago,
made many friends during his visit.
While in Pittsford, Mr.. Leeger stayed
at the home of Mrs. Church's brother,
Mr.. Howard Lamb. 1t is understood
that the good people of Hillsdale
Country were 10th to let the genial
Charles depart for his home in the
east.
Mrs. Sophie lesson entertained at
luncheon Thursday last Mrs. Low. of
New York, and Miss NJ C. Winter
burn.
Miss Emma Deshon, of Meriden.
Connecticut, cousin of Miss Elicita
Deshon, Columbia avenue, died last
Sunday. She was buried on Wednes
day.
Alfred C. Church, jr., will spend
the summer at Pittsford, Michigan,
his mothers girlhood home.
All roads lead to the borough's
lunch room at noontime. From every
direction, the Palisades delivery
routes of the great city emporiums,
as we'll as the Jersey houses, dry
goods, groceries, milk, oil, general
supplies; the Representatives and COL
lectors of supply lines of water, gas,
electricity, and so on, gather there
like the caravan routes at an oasis
in the desert.
The truth about socialism will be
brought home to the people of Grant
wood tonight, when Mr.. August
Claessens will deliver a free lecture
on the subject in Grantwood school
auditorium. Everybody is cordially
invited to be present, and women are
especially urged to come to hear Mr..
Claessens. There will be music, and
ample opportunity for asking ques-
lions. The time is eight o'clock.
The children of the Congregational
Church will give a novel entertain
ment at the church on Tuesday even
ing, April 6. Songs to which the
children and babies of all nations are
rocked and sung to sleep will be
rendered artistically by the little
ones.
Miss Emma Hodkinson of Palisade
avenue attended the meeting at the
Musicians Club, New York, on Mon
day evening last, at which Mr.. Will
liam Hinshow, the famous Metro
politan star delivered the principal
address. The subject of the address
was, "How every community which
has a dramatic society, could also
have an operate organization"
Thomas Fox is spending few weeks
in the New York Hospital where he
is undergoing treatment for the
stomach complaint that has caused
him much illness in the past few
months. Many of his Grantwood
friends have been over to visit him.

but the trouble with the whole ques-
ton was that the police were not
backed up by the courts. He cited
the case of an arrest he had made
of a man who had been guilty of rape
and the court had scoffed at him by
handing down a decision of six cents
damages. He also said that he had
been severely criticized by the press
for his actions in the matter. He
wanted to know where an officer stood
who was honest and conscientious in
the performance of his duty.
Mr.. Beebe, of Rutherford, and ex-
president of the Justices of the Peace
Association of New Jersey, created a
laugh by opening his remarks with
the statement that the Justices were
down trodden race. He made a
stirling defence of the position of the
Justices, and added flavor to his talk
by flashes of wit.
The meeting closed with Sheriff
Heath's announcement that another
gathering of the same kind would
take place very soon and that he
hoped as much enthusiasm would be
shown on the next occasion as had
been shown at this one.

MADAM, Bernhardt.

The news reports rumor that
Sarah Bernhardt will next year make
another farewell" tour of America.
This time the "Divine Sarah will
come somewhat initiated as to her
underpinning, but she may not under
take such characters as "Rosalind" or
Hamlet" in which event she will not
be at disadvantage. This remark
able woman and artist is quite the
most complex creature of the modern
stage, if, indeed, she ever had a
counterpart in any age. There can
be no question but that the entire
world lent it's heart in sympathy and
admiration over her recent surgical
experience where she lost limb by
voluntary amputation.
Perhaps there has never been a
more concentrated case of universal
idolatry to art than in Sarah Bern
hardt's life. 1t does not matter that
she was schooled in creed at va
rance with all society. She drove
her chariot of genius over all tradition
in this regard, and the fire of her tri
umphs has blazed along her path for
half a century.
1t needed no tongue, no language
to interpret Bernhardt. She simply
acted her act, and hers was the uni
versal language. Her portrayal of the
human heart, it's emotions, its senti-
ments, its thrills, its quivering
depths, needed no other interpreted

"Made Worth While. -

The article published in the New
York "Sun," March IA, from the pen
of General Bernhard, the German
leader, caused Washington minister
to get agitated to the extent of
writing letter to paper express
ing his contempt for the motive that
led it to print such a letter from
the German warrior. Among other
things the devine wrote was to ex-
press the thought that perhaps it had

Whistle Better Than Pistol.

A police whistle is far better than
a gun as means of protection from
burglars. A thoughtful Jersey City
woman who had faith in the whistle,
on discovering an intruder in her
home, blew the whistle. The thief
quickley fled and eluded the police
who promptly responded to the call
The burglar went without waiting to
gather any valuables. Like other
midnight plunderers, he fears a
whistle more than pistol.-Hudson

ton than her presence-her person
atty. Mere words were a medium,
not necessity. She went home to
the hearts of people with her eyes,
the windows of her soul, and these
were enough. 1t may be truly said
that no person, man or woman, unless
it were Salvini, ever arose to such
dizzy heights as Sarah Bernhard.
She is literally the stages peerless
queen.

NO DARDANELLEs CHANGE

LONDON, MARCH 12-The official news from the Dardaneles today is that no change has taken place in
 the situation there The fleet when last heard from bombardng forts on the Aisatic well as on the Euro pean side of the passage but more forts have been re- duced significant passage in the communique is that the aim of the Turks improving. Nothing said as to the result of this improvement in the gmnery of the enemy but is assumed that the Mussuman gners have found some of the allied ships again So far only ship

This happened at the beginning of the attack the outer forts at the Aegean sea entrance It is reported here today that the Russian fleet will soon commence the bombardment of the forts on the Bosphos in the effort to reach COnstann- Ople There is belief that crack German gunnerS are being sent to handle the Turkish guns or have already reached the scene With good gunnery it admitted the Turks could make the forcing of the Dardanees extre mey hazardous in spite of the superiority of the guns of the warshps Some of the military experts point out that a serious danger might be encountered by the fleet through lack of proper Without landing of force they say would be quite possible for the Turks to bring up guns near the shore of the DardaneeS and conceal them until the ships come directly opposite them and with in easy and sure range.

TELLS OF
 ASYLUM ESCAPE
SAYS HE WAS SANE BUT IF HE STAYED HE WOULD BE
 CRAZY.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Harry K. Thaw testifying in his own defence to- day told the whole story of his escape from the Matteawan asylum. He de- clared that he was perfectly sane but he expressed the belief that if he had remained cOoped up in the madhouse he would have bcome a maniac. It is evidently the intention of the defence to show that the government had no power whatever to hold a man who was sane in an asylum and that man cannot be regarded as a lawbreaker who only plans to secure his rights. The interest in the evidence of Thaw was extraordinary. Ten courthouses could not contain the crowds that tried to gain admission while the defendant was on the stand. Much sympathy is being aroused for the unfortunate wretch as his escape and marital re- lations are such that he is thought now to be more sinned against than shining. His appearance on the stand was entirely that of another man. The debornair Harry Thaw of the past no longer exists and nothing seems to re- main but a poor prematurely broken individual. He was still on the wit ness stand when this was written this morning.

AMERICAN SHOT
 IN MEXICO CITY
CHICAGOAN KILLED BY ZAPATA FORCES WHEN THEY
 ENTERED CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-JOhn McManus, an American citizen, was shot and killed by the Zapata forces when they re-entered Mexico City a few days ago. The detailed story of the occurrence has not reached the state department but will soon be in the hands of MT. Bryan. McManus formerly lived in Chicago but some time ago he took up a residence in the Mexican capital. When Obregon left the city last Saturday night McManus hoisted the American flag above his house and this flag was flying when he was done to death. This fact makes the affair all the more serious as it indicates that the presence of the American flag rather brought abou, his death. The most serious conse- quence may result. In the meantime assurances have been received from the Zapata government that quiet will be restored in the capital but the of McManus must first be ex- plained or atoned for.

GERMAN FLANK MOVEMENT

PETROGRAD, March 12-General von Hindenburg has started another anng movement against Przasnysz from the east and apparently has decided to recapure that city as a base for his general fankng movement against Warsaw from the north Owing to the tremend ous size of the armies in modern warfare movements are so slow that weeks now occupied in movements that would have been accomplished in hours in the past The whole of Poland now the scene of what may be called one great battle winch appears to be several battles As Hndenburgs movements deveOpe it is becoming evident that he has one great plan in view in which all his armies are taking part as divisions of the whole The hanng movement starting against PrzasnySz is evidently nothing more than attempt to secure base for the attempt to force his way south to the rear of the Russian Warsaw position while his army to the southeast of War norhwesterly direction His ultimate object in the opn ion of military experts here to threaten the Russian Hanks that the evacuation of Warsaw might be made necessary The Russians however have the advantage of presenting concave front the advantage that the Germans have against the British and French in the west ern theatre of war,

SAY NEW YORK BOMB" WAS
 FILLED ONLY WITH SAND.
Italians Arrested for Alleged COnspir- acy Insist that Police Planted
 the Supposed Explosive.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The men arrested here for conspiracy to blow up St. Patrick's cathedral and other public buildings insist that the police are the only ones in the world who ever had any knowledge of such a conspiracy" The men arrested are Italians. Their counsel gave out the statement today that the sO-called bomb found in St. Patrick's cathedral was filled with sand and not with dynamite. The affair is now causing a tremendous lot of interest and some people are actually coming to be- lieve that there is more to the story of the prisoners than was believed. It seems to be certain that the police did really exaggerate the affair.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 12.-The most sensational evidence given yet in the trials of the Terre Haute people who are charged with croOkedness in the recent elections there was given today by former chief of police of that city who swore that he was order ed by Mayor Roberts to make out three thousand fraudulent registra- tion application forms. The testimony so far seems to make clear one of the most amazing examples of municipal corruption that have ever been reveal ed and unless the defense has some extraordinary evidence in rebuttal a conviction is almost certain.

KILLED
 KING THURMAN
BODY so BADLY TORN THAT TT WAS CREMATlED IN
 CABIN.

That bears killed King Thurman, who was found dead in cabin in Chickaloon Flats some time ago, is a fact made certain by an examina- tion of the body by two men who were sent out few days ago to bury the remains. These two men whose names are not known, sent word to COmmis- sioner Conroy and Deputy Marshal Evans today that when they examined the body they found it to have been horribly torn. The limbs and body were in so frightful state that bur ial was out of the question so the cab in was fired and the remains cremated. Poor Thurman had been missing since last July or August ard several at tempts were made to find him with out success until hunters happened on the cabin a few weeks ago. It is evi- dent that he had been attacked by bears and rent almost limb from limb, before he managed to get away and crawl to the cabin to die. The mes sage to the local authorities came from Fred Bunce.

RUBLEE QUITS
 R.R. COMMISSION
ENGINEERING REPORT ABOUT RAILROAD WILL NOT BE
 MADE PUBLIC.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-George Rublee formally resigned as counsel for the Alaska Government railroad commission today to take his place as a member of the Federal Trades commission. He was appointed some time ago to the latter body by Presi- dent Wilson but has continued to act as legal advisor in the matter of the government railroad in Alaska. The senate for a time gave every indica- ton that his appointment to the trade commission would not be confirmed but President Wilson decided that if he failed of confirmation Rublee would receive a recess appointment. Secre- tary Lane says that the report of the engineering commission need not be expected to be published, at least for the present. Indeed he intimates that it's first publicity will be received when it is transmitted to congress next December. As congress has placed the work in the hands of the adminis- tration entirely it is not necessary for congress to ratify any of the plans so the president and secretary of the in- terior can proceed with the work of con truction without making the re- port public, and it seems to be the opinion in administration circles that the publication of the report might only lead to controversies that would tend to hamper the preparations. A shrewd guess is made in some quart CTS that the publication of the report might let the owners of one of the ex- isting railroads know too much.

GERMAN CAPTAIN TO EXPLAIN

NEWPORT NEWS lIacr 12.-The commander of the Germany auxiliary cruiser Prince Eitel Frederick has agreed to submit in writing the reasons for his sink ing of the bark Frye which bound from Seattle to Liverpool with cargo of wheat He has made no state ment regarding the matter and is apparently careful lead to trouble So far as can be learned he has had communication from his government directing him in the course to pursue There appears to be no knowledge of the cause of sinking the Frye except Is that she was carrying wheat to London and that the British govern ment has stopped all shipping to and from Germany the latter country has perfect right to stop all foOdsuffs from reaching England In the meantime the Prince Eel Frederick is being viewed by crowds of people, Her exploits against the merchant ships of her enemies have been extraordinary considering the fact that powerful hostile cruisers have been constantly the the lookout for her. The local people of pro-Geman sympathies would have given her and her officers ovation but for the advice that such would serve as an indication of lack of really neutral desires.

 icted tremendous damage allied merchant ships If he is permitted to remain here three weeks the likelihood IS that he cannot escape Some British cruisers are said to be on watch outside already.

CARRANZA IS
 AGAIN WARNED
HE AND OBREGON WILL BE HELD PERSONALLY RE-
 SPONSIBLE.

WASHINGTON, March l2.-An- other note has been sent to Carranza by this government warning him that he and Obregon will re held personal ly responsible for any injury that might be inflicted on American cij- zens in any part of Mexico. He was also notified that tte United States government will require him to keep open the railroad between Mexico City and Vera Cruz so that foreigners in the capital will have free access to the seaport at any t.ma they wish. The British government has also en- tered the Mexican emDrog.io by de- manding of Carranza an explanation as to why a British bar', was seized and detained at Campeche by officials acting under the authority of Car ranza. It is now admitted on all hands that the condition of Mexico is worse than it ever was before. While in former revolutions there was always apparent a chance that one side or the other could gain control there seems now to be an absolute deadlock and a promise of eternal squabbling. It is freely hinted around Washington that this country cannot avoid interference. It is clear that leaders in the neighboring so-called republic are a pack of worthless self seekers who are absolutely unworthy of recognition. The feeling through out the United States has become such that the invasion of Mexico would now be looked upon with almost general favor There is every likelihood that a lesson may soon be taught the ir- responsible and murderous individuals on both sides.
