WHITMAN'S SUCCESSOR

Charles A. Perkins, whom Cover
nor Whitman of New York selected as
his successor in the office of district at
torney, is considered by the people OF
the metropolis to be safe, sane and
conservative. on and on he has been
connected with the district attorneys

he has prosecuted some notable cases.
First and foremost Mr.. Perkins
gives one the impression of the profes-
sional man, the man of quiet, scholarly
tastes. There is about him nothing
TO suggest either the aggressive or
adroit politician. In spite of his up
standing figure and military, vigorous
physique, he gives hint OF an aca-
demic bent-which is not difficult to
account for. His father, Albert c..
Perkins, was one of the most distin-
guished educators of a past genera
tion.

the issues Of life and death lay in the
hands of this sad, gaunt man who laid
a fatherly hand on Betty's shoulder.
"Thay would not listen to my evil

in her voice. They were bent on con
