Prefers Prison Here
to Life in Trenches

Camden, n. 1.-THE unusual proce-
dure of a prisoners fighting to pre-
vent his release from the county Jail
was presented in the criminal Court
before Judge Boyle when Luigi Catuai
sought to have the restraint of liber-
ty continued, in order that he might
not be deported to Italy, where he will
be pressed into service in the army.
Catuai lost his fight. Judge Boyle
directed that he be turned over to the
United States immigration authorities,
where he will be deported as an un-
desirable. Catuai was convicted in
March of a misdemeanor, and was
sentenced to four months in the coun-
ty Jail and fined $3.50. He also was
indicted for carrying concealed weap-
ons. The immigration authorities set
forth that the defendant had served
part of term in jail in Italy for as
sault, and that he gained entrance to
this country through fraud by testify
ing that he had never been convicted

of the invalid's room suddenly col
lapsed and in his fright he forgot that
he was paralyzed, leaped from his bed
and fed across the room. In this par
ticular instance, however, the man
had suffered from a species of mental
hysteria in which he actually believed
himself to be paralyzed and the fifteen
thousand was certainly we'll earned by
the seven years of enforced invalidism.
Another case of a somewhat similar
nature happened in Pennsylvania sew
eral years ago, being one of the first
cases to enlist the services of the
claim detective. A street car acci-
dent occurred at an amusement park
near Philadelphia, In which several
passengers were hurt. The employees
thought they had obtained the names
of all the persons injured, but a few
months later the car company was
sued by the father of an unknown
claimant who, it was asserted, had
been crippled by the accident. The
circumstances were such as to make
the car company suspicious and the
claim detective was put on the job.
He visited the claimants in the small
Pennsylvania Dutch town in which
they lived and talked to the boy who
was brought out in rolling chair. A
few nights later, the detective and
another man hidden behind a tree,
saw the same boy walking vigorously
up a steep hill, refreshing his cramped
muscles with a little healthy exercise.
There was little trouble in proving the
fraud at the trial, in which the boy
finally explained that he had not been
on the street car at all, but merely an
innocent and uninjured bystander with
an eye for detail.

MarstOn Is Golf Winner
Over Cameron B. Buxton
Stceial to TIE Telsrrnbh

L Philadelphia, Pa, June 22. - The
name of Maxwell r. Marston, Bal
tusrol, is the first to be engraved on
the third Lynnewood Hall golf trophy
Of the Huntingdon Valley Country
club. Yesterday the Crawford, n. j.,
golfer won the sixteenth annual in
Nitation tournament for that trophy
by defeating Cameron b. Buxton, of
the home club, in the final round by
the close margin of two up and one
to play. The match was played on
the Noble links in steady downpour
OF rain, which, however, did not mar
the play nor have any effect on the
size of the gallery.
In the semifinals in the morning
Marston defeated Hugh L. Willoughby
j" the Philadelphia champion, by
two up and one to play, and Buxton
won by the same margin over John
G. Anderson, of Siwanoy. national
runner-up last year. This feat of
BuXton's was easily the leading event
OF what has proved to be a most
eVentful tournament and one of the
mcst successful since it was instituted
III 1900.

THE CLAIM DETECTIVE
By Frederic ]. Haskin
[Continued From Editorial Pagel

dESl
The Company is entirely at the mercy
of the doctors verdict, hence the inn
portance of being able to read his per-
sonality. Some physicians have been
known to invent several serious mala-
dies as a result of the accident at a
moments notice and afterwards col
lect on the discrepancy in the size of
their bills.
In case of temporary injury, such
as a broken rib or cash across the
forehead, the adjustment is usually
a simple matter, entailing only the
payment of the mans salary while he
is away from work, his medical ex-
penses, including doctor, nurse and
medicines, and a fair bonus for the
amount of physical suffering sus-
tanned as a result of the injury. A
factory hand, for example, making
twenty dollars a week had his arm in
Jured in a street car accident. He
was compelled to remain at home for
ten weeks, amounting to two hun
dred dollars in wages: his medical ex-
penses were seventy-fve dollars for
doctor, thirty dollars for nursing
and fifty dollars for medicines and
miscellaneous expenses. totaling alto
gether 1855. In addition to paying
this, the company gave him a hundred
dollars extra for the Inconvenience
and pain he had suffered. With a
man whose earning capacity is a hun
dred dollars a week. a corresponding
compensation is allotted.
1t is in the case of permanent injury
that the claim detective encounters
the most fraud, so that these cases
are usually dragged out through
months of litigation until the claim is
absolutely proved. 1t is extremely di-
fficult for a physician to declare that
man has not paralysis of the throat
when he swears on paper that he was
and is unable to talk; yet 1t would be
quite possible for a man possessed of
great forbearance to simulate the mall
ady. Moreover, If a man asserts that
he is paralyzed and incapable of walk
ing owing to a brulse on his hip, 1t
does not reflect very we'll on the ply
sician's reputation II he fails to recog-
nize the existence of paralysis. Such
was the contention of one man whose
hip had been hurt in a street car ac-
cident, and he supported his state
ment by refusing to walk for seven
years. All day he sat In an invalid
chair on the front porch where en-
ployes of the car company could see
him, knitting ties and hose. After
seven years of this tedious labor, the
car company settled the claim for
fifteen thousand dollars, which was
criticized as being an inadequate ad-
iustment. A week later, the ceiling

Seattle, Wash.-The State Fedora
ton of Labor is in the thick of a fight
to repeal the anti-picketing law,
rushed through the state legislature
and approved by the governor between
March and March 10, last year.
While the law prohibits picketing, it
is an attack on free speech, free press
and all other forms of publicity, which
is defined in Section l:
Whoever shall, for the purpose of
carrying on, calling attention to, or ad-
vertising, directly or indirectly, any
controversy, disagreement or dispute
between any labor union or organiza-
ton, or member or members thereof
and any person engaged in any law
full business, or his employe, or for the
purpose of hindering or preventing
such person from conducting his bust
ness in any lawful way, or employing
or retaining in his employ any person
who may lawfully engage in such bust
ness"
The law specifically states y that
any person who shall engage in pick
citing shall be guilty of a misde.
meanor."

to aid them in repeating this statute.

TRACTION COMPANY
EMPLOYS COURTESY
CONDUCTORS NOW

Oakland, Cal.-Oakland's traction
company is trying out new wrinkle
in giving satisfactory service to pas
sengers. 1t is employing a courtesy
conductor on the cars of one of its
lines, and if the scheme proves sue
cessful, it will use them on all its
trolleys.
Not only is this an accommodation
to the passengers, but it also relieves
the regular conductor of great deal
of work, and incidentally opens up
new jobs for many men. If this sys-
TEN is adopted throughout the coun-
try, thousands of jobless men will
find employment in this new role.
The courtesy conductor has nothing
to do with gathering in the nickels.
His sole job is to look after the com
fort of passengers, particularly the
women and children.
He is there to help women and in.
| firm persons on and off the car. He
takes care of babies while their moth
err, are boarding or leaving the car
If he is kindly disposed, he may even
help ahuse a baby.
He makes himself helpful to pas
sengerS loaded down with grips OF
parcels What is more, he not only
acts as an information bureau on
I questions connected with his route
but also in matters such as strangers
usually ask Of a policeman at a street
corner.
Certainly the idea would seem to be
