Joe Sullivan Receives Thrashing When
He Seizes the Arm OF a Woman
on Downtown Street.
MUST SPEND 80 DAYS IN JAIL
Man Is Arrested Following Affair and
Is This Morning Severely Lectur-
ed by Police Magistrate.

Joe Sullivan, 1878 Twelfth avenue,
was this morning sent to the county
Jail for 30 days, the result of his TAX
ing liberties with a woman who pass
ed him on downtown street last ev-
ening
A local citizen, whose name is with
held, with his wife and woman friend
passed by the man. AS they did SO
Sullivan reached out and took the
woman friend by the arm, according to
testimony in police court. The citi-
zen and his wife, thinking Sullivan
and their companion were friends,
started to pass on, when the citizen
happened to notice the look Of panied
surprise on the face of his wife's
friend.
Friend of yours?" queried the cit
izen
II should say not" responded the
woman, trying to pull away from Sui
livan.
Here" said the citizen, stepping
back to them. Let go of her"
The answer was blow in the face.
A rough and tumble fight followed.
For a few minutes Sullivan, having
the advantage of taking the other by
surprise, had the better Of the argu-
ment, but eventually the other man
proved the victor. In the meantime
the police had been called and Sulli-
van was taken to Jail.
He appeared in court with sundry
bruises and abrasions about his face
and person Magistrate Frank Gus
tafson, before imposing the sentence
lectured the man severely.
Just Plain Drunk.
Thinking that he was suffering from
wood alcohol poisoning, police last
evening hurried Wilbur l.. Conrey, 404
Nineteenth street, to the city hospi-
tai, they having picked him up from
the curb in front of a pool room on
Fifth avenue near Twenty-third street
When the ambulance reached the
curb Conrey was semi-conscious and
appeared to be near death. The hos
pital was notified of his coming and
Miss Rooney had two doctors waiting
to treat him when he arrived.
Calls received at the police station
had said that Conrey had swallowed
wood alcohol. At the hospital this
morning, however, it was stated thai
the doctors had found no indications
that the man had swallowed this
poison, but that he was apparently
suffering from an overdose of ord
mary alcoholic beverages. 1t was
said at the hospital that Conrey was
fully recovered.

Commercial Panics Result OF Fear.
what is true of the human body is
also true Of the body polite. A panic
produces a rigid state in the arteries
Of trade, in the manufacturing and
commercial centers, so that nothing
seems TO move without extreme pres
sure. The dictionaries define panic as
extreme or sudden causeless, unrea-
sonable fright To cure such a con-
dition, confidence must be restored. 1t
was the great cry during the panic Of
1907 that everything would be righted
II only the fear of the people would
relax.
Christian Scientists are sometimes
said to be a prayerless people. No as
persion could be farther from truth
than this Christian Scientists believe
in prayer without ceasing.'
Our prayer is not so much In sup
plication to God for help as in &C
knowlegment Of the good which He
already has given. II one had gold
mine, filled with the precious metal,
ne would not think it consistent TO
pray for gold, but would expect to
help himself to that which was al
ready his.
When a Christian Scientist is
tempted to think of pain or sickness
he Immediately turns against It and
declares for the allness, completeness
and absolute perfection Of Gods crea-
ton. which is expressed in man.
Mrs Eddy's first awakening TO the
divine healing power came to her
when. from the effects of an accident
her recovery seemed beyond all earth
ly hope Her early spiritual training
tended to inspire confidence in the
power of God to heal the sick, so
when man reached his extremity and
| failed, she turned to God to verify
that early confidence. Her healing
| was instantaneous!
Mrs Eddy discovered the law Of
spiritual healing and brought the
/ blessed message to the world that
there is a comforter for every sorrow
/ however despairing; that there is
/ law of restoration for every fear and
disease: a publication for every sir
and a panacea for every i'll,
When Mrs. Eddy first discovered
/ Christian Science, she put 1t to every
possible test, to make sure she had &
/ demonstratable truth. After practic
ing it for some years. and healing dis
ease in every stage. she began to teach
it TO others, establishing the Meta
physical college wherein she taugh
several thousand students.
Christian Scientists are truly CRATE
! full for the healing of disease and sin
and the many blessings which the.
have experienced through the trut,
as revealed by Mrs. Eddy, but ever
these fade into insignificance compar
ed to the better understanding Of Coo
and mans true relation to Him, which
/ Christian Science unfolds.'

how impossible it would be for the Pro-

was made public yesterday by the

view Of the Forthcoming meeting be-

This letter was written to William

1.-The progressive party stands today
practically where the republican plrty
stood in the days of Lincoln, when 1t
was the progressive party Of the Ma

machines as it would have been to talk
Of Lincoln almagating with Bourbon

The Democratic platform of 1912
made this promise to the farmers of

"Of equal Importance with the ques-
ton of currency reform is the question
OF rural credits or agricultural finance.
Therefore we recommend that an in
v~ostigation of agricultural credit socie-
ties in foreign countries be made, SC
that it may be ascertaincd whether a
system of rural credits may be devised
suitable to conditions in the United
States, and we also favor legislation
permitting national banks to loan n
reasonable proportion of their funds
on real estate security.
