JUDGE RIDES in PRISON
VAN TO AVOID COLD
New York Magistrate Prefers Warm

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
New York. Dec. 19-Given the choice
Of riding in a B. r. T. street car or an
automobile prison van. Magistrate o.
Grant Esterbrook today had no difficulty
in reaching a decision. particularly as
he had tried the street car only a few
hours before. Consequently, when he
left the Coney Island Police Court he
travelled home by the prison van,
wrapped up in blankets on the seat beside
Frank Bowen. the driver, and Hugh
McCabe. deputy sheriff, while two
prisoners inside. on their way to Ray
mond Street Jail, had the distinction Of
being passengers in the reserved section
The magistrate lives at $50 Putnam
avenue. Brooklyn, and besides holding
court at Coney Island has to sit in the
night court in Adams street. He arrived
at the Coney Island Court today with a
grudge against the B. r. T. He said it
had taken him an hour and a half to get
to court from his home by a. street car,
and that the car was not heated
The prospect of riding back the same
way did not please him. particularly as
he wanted to reach home in a hurry and
get some sleep before opening court in
Adams street at 8 o'clock this evening
The big ten-ton prison van happened
around at that time and the magistrate

Still Waiting To NIP
PLOT KILLED IN 1863
Watchmen Named in Lincoln's Time
Due to Lose Sinecures.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Henh
Chicago. Dec. l9.-Watchmen who still
are guarding the State house at Spring
field against a plot to blow it up. which
was nipped in 1865. are slated to lose
their jobs under the program of economy
which the new legislators plan to put
through this winter. The legislators plar
to repeal teh act which put them in their
jobs half a century or more ago.
A few months before Lincoln was as
sassinated the "copperheads" cooked up
plot to release the prisoners at Rock
Island and march on Springfield. There
1t was planned to dynamite the State
house. In great haste the assembly
passed a law empowering the secretary
of State and the State treasurer to hire
as many extra watchmen as they believed
necessary to safeguard the building.
The plot blew up and the watchmen
law became a dead letter. Several years
State dug up the old law and under its
provisions made appointments. Stenog-
raphers. janitors. clerks. watchmen and
dandelion hunters were put on the pay
roll as "copperhead watchmen." although
of course they were not designated as
such on the pay rolls
1t was not until 1918 that the fact that
forty persons were drawing pay under
this old law was discovered aud an at
tempt made to repeal the law 1t was
defeated in the legislature by three votes,
but this time it is expected to go through.

OF neutrality. the bolero was again in

often seen in the bolero models; often
the upper portion OF the pleated or
gathered skirt is OF taffeta in black or

and cuffs OF tafeta nd taffeta covered
buttons are lso used with good effect
