A new use of the monograph or
whatever talking machines should
properly be called. is that of singing
duet with ones self. Having made
a record in soprano or baritone the
singer can slip the disc onto the ma
chine, push the lever and add the
tenor, alto or other accompaniment
to the hearts content, achieving an
unusual, and if it were not mechan-
ical, scarcely credible effect.

LESSEE OF HOUSE
FINED AS KEEPER
Girls Nabbed In Resort on Fourth Ave.
nue. Tell Story of High Rent
They Are Forced to Pay.
WOMAN DOES NOT DENY CHARGE
Mrs. ii. Mattewan Admits to the PO-
lice That She Rents Place for
$15 and Collects So Per Day.

A story of how heavy rentals were
extorted from two girls in house at
1909 Fourth avenue was told in Rock
Island police court today shortly af-
ter their arrest on charges of being
inmates of a house of ill-fame.
A small frame house, which police
said woman rented for SIS per
month, was giving revenues of over
$50 to the lessee, who in turn sub
leased it to the girls. On the strength
of their evidence police arrested Mrs.
H. Mattewan, whom they accused of
being the keeper of the place. She is
the lessee.
William Horn, Matte Horn and
Marie Lord were apprehended in the
place at 10 o'clock this morning By
Chief Miller and Patrolman Kinney.
They were Immediately arraigned in
police court and fined S. and costs
each.
In the story they told the police
they said they paid Mrs. Mattewan
SO a day as rental for the house. In
a month they paid over $50 to her.
They said that she leased it from the
owner. The police interpreted the
situation as though Mrs. Mattewan
was keeper of the place, and on that
charge she was fined $25 and costs.
Police said, under a threat that they
would rearrest her on charge Of
pandering, she contributed enough
money to the girls so that they could
get out of town.
Held Under Heavy Bond.
Orrin Edwards, Marshalltown, Iowa,
was held under bonds of $1,000 to a
preliminary hearing next Saturday on
the charge of larceny. He is accused
of having stolen a bicycle belonging to
James Cirivello, 512 Fifteenth street.
Patrolman Mccarthy arrested him.
A man giving the name Of G. w.
Whitney was fined S. and costs today
for driving passed a street car which
police said was loading and unload
ing passengers. He was apprehended
by Traffic officer Fitzsimmons. Police
declared he is an official of the Tri-
City Railway company.
Ernest Bailey was arrested by Pa
trolman Libman for violating the mot
or vehicle ordinances. He was as
sessed S. and costs. S. J. Kelly, a
Chicago man, assaulted Patrolman
Thorman in the police station last
night The officer was bringing him to
the sergeant's desk when the attack
officer struck him a blow which cut
| his cheek Kelly was released.
A bicycle stolen from T. Cloudas,
Sala apartments, was today recovered
in Moline by Moline police.

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-10-09
THE OTHER HALF

It has been the daily task OF the
Associated Charities to respond TO the
need OF persons and families in dis
tress through sickness, unemployment
or other causes which have produced
dependency. To secure for them EN-.
ployment and medical or other relief
necessary, and what is equally i'm
portant, to render those less Obvious
acts OF patient understanding, personal
helpfulness which really produce re-
suits In assuaging distress, renewing
courage. developing resources within
the family itself and restoring depen-
dents to the plane OF self .upport
The encouragement ) discipl%n and
personal service is what MAXI organ
lied charity a ladder instead OF n
crutch. :
The value Of the work done bv the
Associated Charities in the treatment
OF dependency cannot be measured by
the sums expended for food. fuel. rent
or other material aid; although whore
these are necessary they are provided
promptly In sufficient quantities. Its
value Hes rather in the skill and ey-
perience and character of the workers
themselves. But be 1t SO effective, the
treatment Of distressed in
diyiduals cannot alone bring TO mass
that readiustment Of society In which
those conditions which now make nov
