However the act Is mandatory. It
says the commissioners must furnish
employment to those making applica-
ton for 1t. 30 we must either find
something for them to do or violate
the law. We have NO desire to violate
1t, but / cannot see how 1t Is to be

"sAs 1 read the law there are in
Ada county several hundred men who
are entitled to emergency employment
under 1t and have no doubt we will
receive from three hundred to five
hundred applications. The law is so
drawn that It would be possible for
the county commissioners to so shut
off the revenue due to the state as
to seriously cripple the state govern
ment.
EFT is provided that so per cent of
the compensation for men given emer-
gency en- pioyment shall be taken from
the money the county is supposed to
pay to the state. II county takes

Private in Artillery Asks Dis
charge SO lie Can Pro-
vide for Wife.

Representative John J. Escsu, Of the
nth New Jersey District. yesterday
received a novel request from Walter
Ollie, private in the both Company
Coast Artillery Corps, |. :. A., sta
toned at Newport. Ollie. whose legal
residence is in North Bergen, \. j.,
asks the Representative to use his in
fuencc with the War Department 70
have him relieved Of serving out the
balance Of his enlistment.
81 have wife and an infant son and
cannot support them on the pittancc
allowed a soldier as pay Ollie pleaded.
please convince the authorities that
this is a fact and get them to discharge
me, in order that ! may obtain more
profitable employment"
Mr.. Eagan declared that Dille'S plea
was the first ono of its kind which, to
his knowledge, has been advanced as
reason for having soldiers enlist
ment period curtailed.
Ollie married eighteen months ago,
after he had served less than six
months of his enlistment. His bride
admits that she fell in love with his
soldiers uniform, but now she says
she will be glad if he gets rid Of II
because he cannot support her and his
son on his allowance as a private.
Wife and son have been supporte
by the widowed mother of the bride.
But there are six other children in the
family. and the drain was too heavy.
Mr.. Eagan said that he had no doubt
that the War Department would act
favorably upon Dillc's request.

mrs. FITZHUCR IS
AGAIN CONVICTED
New Charge of Stealing
Purses in Churches Up
held by Magistrate.

Mrs. Catherine Northrup, the woman
of mystery, who spent several months
in the Tombs in 1913 under the name
of Mrs. Randolph Fitzhugh, and finally
pleaded guilty to stealing purses IN
Fifth Avenue churches, was found
guilty of similar charge by Mag
istrate Herbert in the Women'S Night
Court yesterday. She had been ar
rested on Sunday after detectives had
traied her in and out q several
churches. The magistrate renamed
her until Saturday for sentence;
After the woman had pleaded guilty
10 the charge in 1913, Justice GaYegan
suspended sentence upon her, on con-
dition that she would return 10 the
South. where she claims to be related
20 tho Fitzhugh and Randolph families.
I'm finding her guilty last night. Nagis-
trato Herbert asked Assistant District
Attorney Dickinson to bring the matter
to the attention OF Justice Gavegar.
Mrs. Northrup told Detective Barron,
who made the arrest, that her first
husband, Randolph Fitzhugh. Is dead.
and that she married man named
Northrup a year ago. She said she
had been living recently at he STRAIT
ford. II East Thirty.second Street.
Mrs. Fitzhugh has lived in Washing
ton. and in 1all was arrested under
the name Of Catherine Fennell charged
with stealing purse containing $50
in church. Her suite at the STRAIT
ford is an expensive one.
The woman says she has been en-
ployed as reporter for New YORK
newspaper under the name of Mrs.
Catherine Northrup.
No defence was put IN by MIS-
Northrup. She was represented BY
woman lawyer, Lucy Ledtke, OF %
Nassau Street. Magistrate Herbert had
a conference with the attorney, and
then the prisoner interrupted. IL IS
true | went into the churches, she
cried. "but the charge that stole any
thing is absolutely false" She kept
repeating this, until the magistrate
asked her if she had ever been con-
victed before.
"No." she said, 81 was forced to plead
guilty
81 don't believe you arc bound b.
ordinary circumstances 10 steal said
the magistrate. II think your mentsl
condition requires treatment. and II
this is to be done you must be taken
before Justice Gavegsn 10 conform
The woman was arrested outside OF
st. Patricks Cathedral. after Detective
Barron had followed her in and out OF
several Fifth Avenue churches. The
sexton of ST. Leo's Church had first
called Barron's attention to the woman.
His suspicious had been aroused after
Mrs. Northrup had changed her seat
several times. in the Marble Collegiate
Church the detective says he saw her
nut her hand in another woman'S muf.
She went into 81. Thomas's Church
without an umbrella, Barron testified.
and came out with one. Then he placed
her under arrest.
After her arrest IN Washington, in
1911. Mrs. Northrup was found to be
mentally abnormal, and vas sent to a
sanatorium. from which she was re-
leased in January. 1918. II was then
she came to New York. When she was
arrested in March. 1913, she was living

Two arrests last night, following
Joseph Mcaclc's admission in the Grim
inal Branch Of the Supreme Court. a
few hours earlier of stealing a $4,000
machine, lead the police to believe that
they have broken up gang who have
been operating in Manhattan and
Brooklyn for some months.
Detectives Wagner and Meyer, with
Inspector Rotheim, brought to men TO
Headquarters last evening on a charge

they were Harry J. Vogel and Walter

DAVID A. SULLIVAN
IS PAROLED

board when his own case was up for
consideration. Nevertheless he seemed
20 have not the slightest doubt that
he would be freed yesterday. On Sun
dav he made this prophecy TO friend:
II expect to be out of this hole on
Wednesday"
Though his words we're not fulfilled
TO the letter, Sullivan still qualities as
a first rate prophet. He has finished
his term of Imprisonment imposed upon
him by Justice Crane on January ~,
1913, but nc is still in Sing Sing. lie

Technically, he is now one Of Warden
Osborne's "boys'--men who have been
released TO remain accountable to the
authorities until the maximum term OF
their sentence expires or until they
are discharged from parole Actually
he will be locked up in Brooklyn jail
unless he succeeds in getting bail.
The touring car in which Sullivan
and Warden Mccormick rode around
Westchester County, and even into New
York, is. still in storage at Sing Sing.
Ex-Warden Mccormick. who disap-
reared soon after the disclosures
forced his resignation, was seen in
New York a few days ago b. friend
who lives in Yonkers.
He has put in no claim for the auto
mobile. Warden Osborne doesn't want
any part OF il. He says he will put in
bill for storage if he can find any
one to send it to. II is most unlikely
that Sullivan will admit buying an au-

NO FOOD SHORTAGE
in SIGHT in U. S.
Department of Agriculture
Points TO Heavy Sur
plus Of Supplies.

Washington, Feb. 17,--Assurance that
the United States is in no danger of a
shortage of food, despite enormous ex-
ports to Europe. was given tonight by
the Department of Agriculture in a
statement to the public.
The surplus of wheat above domestic
needs on hand February /. the state
ment said, would permit the exporta-
tion Of nearly 100000 bushels a day
about the recent average until the
new crop was available. Moreover.
there we're larger supplies Of corn and
other grains, meat animals, dairy prod
uctS. potatoes and fruit at the opening
of 1915 than for many years.
The 1914 wheat crop of the United
States was estimated TO be S9l 100000
bushels" said the statement. THE
estimated surplus carried over from
the 1913 crop was about 100000
bushels. making a total available sup
ply of 967 100000 bushels. As the nor
nal annual per capita consumption Of
wheat in the United States is about SO
bushels, 520.O0O.000 bushels should
meet our normal domestic require
ments for food; g0,000.000 bushels are
required annually for seeding. There
fore. 6l0,00O,000 bushels should supply
the normal domestic demand. This
would leave surplus of 357 ,000, 600
bushels.
"Of this surplus about 2l0000,O 900
bushels were exported by January 30.
This left 147,000,000 bushels. or 49,
100000 bushels more than our average
annual export for the last five wears,
for export between February ! and the
appearance Of the new crop. or for
carrying over into the next crop year.
But suppose a shortage in wheat
hould develop in thc nest three
months. what would be the situation ?
There is great surplus in other food
products IN the United States, num-
Der of which can be used as substi-
tutcs The most important competing
products arc corn and potatoes. Nor
uallv. only about per cent Of the corn
crop IS consumed As food. The potato
production in the United States av-
eragcs IS bushels per capita. This
year the available supply ~ 40
bushels"
