Chief Of Police Arrests Man Who
Later Uncovers One Of
the Missing
Articles.
SOME DETECTIVE WORK
j. w. Page Arrested for Robbery
Father OF Boy Who Was
Arrested Last
Week.

Both motors which were stolen a
week or two ago from the Burke Bros
confectionery store at 6lS Main
street, have been recovered.
One was secured after a neat piece
of detective work; the other, or what
was left Of it, turned up Unexpectedly.
John M. Kenney, chief of police, last
night arrested J. w. Page for the
robbery and later he revealed to the
police the temporary hiding place Of
one Of the motors which happened to
be in the alley at the rear Of the
home Of Chief Kenney at 612 Concert
street.
Chief Kenney feels confident that
with the arrest of ]. w. Page he has
finally cleared up the mystery of the
robbery and put his hands on the
right party. Page is the father Of
John Page, the eighteen-year-old boy
who was last week sentenced to
year in the county Jail for the theft
Of some miscellaneous articles from
Burke Bros. store. He, with Robert
Ryland, who was sentenced but
paroled, were arrested for breaking
and entering the store and taking
some copper candy kettles which
later turned up in junk shop.
The kettles had now been found.
but the two motors, valued at 5000.
had not been recovered and although
they were found missing at the same
time as the kettles, the two boys
could not be implicated in the matter
Realizing that an offer Of reward
| might bring out the culprit, Chief
Kenney persuaded r. E. Burke, pro-
| prietor of the store, to offer $l5 for
the return of the motors, knowing
that this would more likely bring re-
suits than if the police offered 1t.
The bait worked and in short
time arrangements were made. the
police say, by Page to deliver one OK
| the motors at the house of Mr.. Burke
| on South Seventh street, just across
the alley from the Masonic temple.
Last night Chief Kenney was on
| the lookout for the parties implicated.
| BY accident he met Sheriff Scott. who
! had also been called on the case.
back of the Ell1s building. The sheriff
| said that he had just seen two men
| in the vicinity of the Elks building.
| With the trail hot, the sheriff secuted
around to Seventh street and Chief
Kenney started up the alley between
Blondeau and Concert and had just
REACHED the rear of Burke's residence
| when two men ran into his arms and
| he arrested them. A minute later
| Sheriff Scott with Officer Tigue en-
tered the alley from the Seventh
street entrance.
Page was one of the two taken and
| he was the one wanted. He .-naliy
uncovered one of the motors from
under an ash pile in the alley. He
confessed that it had also been hid
den in a dirt pile near Sinton's barn
for some time.
And now comes the queer end of
the story There was still another
motor to be accounted for. But about
! the time all the above was happening,
| Oliver LaFeber was uncovering the
| missing motor from sewer at the
foot of Bank street. This had been
demolished for the copper and brass
/. on it.

recounts the tragedy of neglected
wife who seeks amusement in the
company Of an INSCRIPTIONS Italian

the humming bird, who seeks first
hand information of the experiences
land emotions of which he writes.
Unfortunately his next story is to con-
|cern the wrecking Of home. The
of the unsuspecting hus-
band, the revenge which former
victim Of the willy schemer wreaks
upon him, and the saving OF the in
inocent woman, are fraught with thrills
and dramatic suspense in abundance.

Zoe Barnett Sings Well.

The dances by Quentin Tod and Hell
en- Clarke have not been excelled for
dizziness by anything shown in any OF
the big revues of the last two years.
In none Of these numbers is there an
.instant's resort to acrobatic dancing
iunseemIy contortions and the like
nor any daring display of one kind or
another.
AS for the plot, it is slender enough
to disappear entirely at times and
strong enough at others to forfend
Nobody Home against the implication
of merely high class vaudeville. zoe
lBarnett, as Miss Tony Miller of the
Winter Garden, sings her several
songs in a way to get them over, and
the Young woman dances quite prettily

tunes are of radiant beauty and the

ton suggests the untiring devotion of

The reason that DR.. Pierce's Golden

for disorders of this description is that
it goes right to first cause. 1t gives an

A young man may be clean, but
disfgured by unsightly pimples, erup-

These are due to impurities in the

A Talking Point For Voters.

The situation in this State is very much
like that of farmer and his hired man,
when the hired man thinks he is greater
than his employer. AT the final show
down of opinion the farmer holds the
purse string and The hired man clears Out.
Our voters put their hired men in charge
at the State Capitol. These hired men
have forgotten the man who holds the
purse-string, and they have turned his
advantages TO their own uses-lust as
tricky old Jacob did when he worked for
Laban.
They have changed responsibilities into
Jobs and tried to make them permanent.
A final showdown is now due, alter
twenty years OF arrogance. These are
only hired men. Let's fire them.
Every voter, by his vote, will have his
hand on the purse string November 7th.
1t will be wellto pull it hard; pull Lit with
out thinking OF parties pull it together /;
pull il to clean out hired men who have
forgotten the interests OF their employers.
They have grown above our simple peo-
ole. Let's hire new set who are on the
same level as we are.

War Ruins Forests Of Belgium And
France.

war KulnS fOTeSIS vi DclYiuin huu
France.
Belgium, the major portion OF which is
in possession OF the Germans, had some
forested land, which was, as it might we'll
be termed, more OF scenic than COM
mercial nature. Advices indicate that
these forests have practically been de-
stroyed. Much OF the timber was used
by the. Germans for military purposes
in the construction of trenches, in road
building, in the erection OF shelters and
barracks, etc. considerable was used for
firewood, and it has been stated, with
what accuracy it is impossible to say, that
timber not used in this way or needed in
the military zone has been shipped to
Germany for home consumption. Most
probably this is so. Before the war Ger
many imported large quantities OF timber
from Russia, and in the last few years
preceding the war these imports greatly
increased. English writers, calling al
tention to this fact, insinuate that the Ger
mans knew that the war was coming and
imported as much timber as possible in
order to conserve her own supplies, and
to be able 10 provide for the expected
large demand by the military in case Of
war.
AS regards Belgium, then, il would not
be at all surprising 10 learn, when the war
is over, that there remains on Belgian
soil no timber of commercial value; that
her scenic forests have been wiped out,
and that thousands of her roadside and
street trees have been used for fuel and
for other purposes by the Germans.
In Northern France, on both sides OF
the fighting front, great damage has been
done the forests, not only by the tIemen-
dous bombardments which have marked
the fighting there, and by the hail OF bull
lets from small arms which have swept
forested spaces, but by the trench build
ers, and road engineers, and Others who
needed timber for construction work.
Thousands of new roads or passageways
have been built for the rapid transporta-
ton of guns, munitions, supplies and men
10 thousands OF points along both fronts.
Many OF the roads or passageways are OF
the type known as corduroy roads, the
base being made OF tree trunks, overlaid
with branches, and these branches over
laid with earth. These roads alone
necessitate the cutting OF thousands upon
thousands of trees. In the lining oi
trenches and the building OF shelters
there has been increasing demand tor
more and more timber.

A Modern Magazine.

Always, since writing was invented ana
particularly since printing processes were
discovered, there have been books and
stories that transcend decencY, or which
areat least vulgar Butup 10 recent years,
this sort Of printed matter has been cir
culated only iunively, and then TO no
great extent in proportion 10 the popu-
lation. The Police GaZettes OF twenty
wears ago were as welcome in the aver
age home as a hobo with the smallpox.
Even the newsGlal,rs kept their copies
OF the paper under the counter. Yet the
Police Gazettes were Sunday school llter-
ature compared 10 some papers that seem
now to have ready access 10 respectable
homes.
The other day writer picked up
popular magazine bearing on IFS cover
cover a million circulation. Over i've
million readers" Here is what he found
in the magazine, so far as he is willing TO
describe IFS contents:
A poem about woman oi the street.
Serial bohemian" clearinghouse life
in New York.
Studio picture-girl smoking cigarette.
A decent short love story.
A decent but short article by Maeter-
linck.
Another short story with Bohemian"
atmosphere and more than suggestion
OF kind OF life one would not describe
attractively 10 his daughter.
A story OF an unfaithful wife whose hus-
band cured her by the use OF lash.
-Four pages OF actress pictures, two Of
which feature woman whose lack OF
attire police would prohibit in the aver
age exposition sideshow.
A serial by Robert W. Chambers.
Biography OF theatrical manager.
Another serial with "indiscreet epi-
sodes.
Sketch OF a prominent woman.
Story OF two successful bunko men
whose "cIeverness" is matched by that
OF their sons and approved by their wives.
In this copy OF the magazines there are
advertisements OF 1l6 colleges and Sec
ondary schools-some OF them rated else
where as Christian institutions.
What is TO be inferred
Do these schools believe that this sort
OF reading matter is favored in the kind
OF homes from which they would be ex-
pected TO obtain patronage?
Or, TO put il differently, do they seek
the kind OF young men and women who
get their ideas OF life from this kind OF
Literature" -?
And other puzzling questions arise
when one sees well thumbed copy OF
such a magazine as this in homes where
the poor old Police Gazette would have
gone straight into the fire.
