people, ex rel, Perkins vs. Moss, 187 N. Y., Page 40, and the court, as then constituted, divided in his favor four to three upon the simple question Of whether George w. Perkins com 1H1itted grand larceny. I hope the public will bear this in mind in weighing his subsequent utterances and will give to his declarations the weight which they conceive his char acter and record entitle them to re- ceive''
 The part of MT. Seabury's speech devoted to MT. Perkins harked back tC the days of the insurance investi- gation conducted by Charles E. Hughes in 1905 and 1906 when Mr. Perkins, then vice president of the New York Life Insurance company, as the result of the discovery of a ficti- tious transfer of Chicago & North western and St. Paul stock between the New York Life and the New York Security and Trust company, was in dicted for forgery in the third degree with Charles S. Fairchild. president of the last named corporation. The indictments were found in Decem Der 1906, the grand jury in presenting them explicitly exonerating MT. Per lZins of criminal intent in connection with the transa ction which he had sought to conceal through the alleged forgery.
 In 1909 both the indictments were dismissed after the court of appeals had decided that in the absence of criminal intent in a transaction, it was sought to conceal by forgery, an indictment for forgery could not stand.

man INJURED BY
TRAIN IMPROVES
Condition of George Sturdeyant, Who
Suffered in Saturday Night Acct
dent, Is Some Better.

The condition of George Sturdevant
of Port Byron. who is lying in ST. An
thongs hospital as a result of falling
from or being hit by a train Saturday
night, is reported as showing slight i'm
provement today.
About $50 o'clock Saturday night
Sturdevant was found unconscious on
First avenue and Nineteenth street, his
body covered with blood. The city am
bulance was called and the injured
man was taken to the hospital, where
he was attended by DR.. A. y. Mueller.
His injuries were regarded as serious
at the time and doubt was felt for his
recovery, as he was badly bruised and
suffered deep scalp wound.
When he regained consciousness and
was questioned as to how the accident
occurred he merely muttered that "a
train hit me-" 1t is not known wheth-
er he was coming to town on a freight
train and was hurt attempting TO get
off or whether he was hit by a train
while crossing the tracks, as he is not
yet able to give a clear account Of his
experience.

lads, supposedly by Leonard Huss. the
enraged man, who is said to have or
dered the boys back to the island with
threats. The boys obeyed the com
mand and put back to the island, dis
heartened. One of the lads offered to
give a half dollar-all he had, for the
melons, but the obdurate Mr.. Huss,
owner of the watermelon patch, de-
clined such a small settlement price
and took his captives inland and
phoned the police station. The patrol
arrived and the boys were taken to the
station.
The hearing was set for 9 o'clock
this morning, but Magistrate C. j.
Smith washed his hands of the whole
affair and Chief of Police Miller offer
ed to pay the enraged Mr.. Huss for the
melons if he would forget it and let
the boys alone. But Mr.. Huss wanted
revenge, whereupon the police refused
to have anything more TO do with the
case, with the statement that If there
was anything done he would have to do
it through the states attorney.

ARREST BOYS FOR

Boys will be boys. It's an old say

even in this advanced age the youth
that liked to 'swipe watermelons from
Farmer Green's patch" in the Olden day
is with us yet. 1t was Joe Moran and
Gunard Peterson-both Is years old
Just the age when watermelons look
their juiciest and offer the greatest
temptation. Joe and Guard were
tempted-yes just like boys.
1t all happened like this:
A Z. Wolgamut, 1905 Forty-first
street, felt like he wanted to go fish
ing Sunday He had not been fishing
for a long time-twO years to be ex-
act, so in deciding to go he naturally
desired little ompaniOnship. He in
vited Joe Moran, 1888 Thirty-eighth
street, to go with him. Joe in turn en-
larged on the invitation so it would
include Gunard Peterson, 1901 Forty
fourth street, for he and Gunard were
pals in play and work alike and he
certainly couldn't go fishing without
having Gunard along. So Gunard
went, too.
The three, WOlgamut, Moran and
Peterson started out They went to
Rock river, where they thought the
fishing would be good After fishing a
became restless and started roaming
about, leaving WOlgamut TO do the
fishing. They got in a boat and after
rowing on the river for a time landed
on Carrs island. Here they wan
dered about enjoying the feeling of ex-
plOring a treasure island, when sud
denly they came across real treasure

of reelection, because he did not have
the slightest idea himself as to what
his chances were.

nation for use in my newspaper ar

Jackie Now Has Nice Big House.
Jackie Saunders couldn't stand it
any longer.
She always wished, she said, to wear
a bingham apron, dust cap. broom and
all She was tired of hotels, apart
ments and cafes She wanted a house.
And once Jackie sets her head"
that settles it if she has TO go broke
doing it. That is her undisputed repu-
tation
How big a house will you want?'
she was asked.
"Oh, about ten rooms"
What, Why there's only one of
you, and you're only five feet high and
not very wide and
THAT will do, sir. l want house,
not statistics"
So the hunt was on. Scores of
houses were inspected and all turned
down by the persnickity star until a
place was discovered on the ocean
front, where there was a green lawn,
roses, a garden, vines, a regular
Caiph's back yard-and IL rooms.
And now Jackie Saunders, mistress
of her own house. slices her own bread,
uncans her own baked beans, and is at
home to her friends on Long Beach.
Like it? she repeated. I'm crazy
about it. Why I'm 10 years younger
since l went to keeping house"

these new housekeepers too seriously
