OUR NElGHeoR's PUPPY DOG

e
Dear Aunt Molly wish to tell
You about Beppo, our neighbor's;
puppy dog. He is a bull dog. He
does not bite or bark. He ticks and
grows fat instead of biting. He
likes children, but best of all he
likes their caps and hats. When lie
gets out, he comes over to my
house. He scratches on the door
to let US know he is there. When
he gets in he goes up stairs TO see
mother. When my sister comes
home he runs to the door to meet
her
One day my cat and Beppo had
fuss. l gave my kitty and Bappo
some dinner. Beppo went around
to kitty's dish and ate hers first,
and then he went and ate his owl.
This made the kitty mad, and she
went to BeppO's dish but found
nothing. And then kitty put out her
paw, and Beppo squatted down and
growled.
l gave kitty some dinner, and
now they haven't had a fuss since
then. | wish you could see Beppo.

TO THE G. G. L.

Well, Girls:
l wish to say in behalf of the
Citizens of the Boytown, that we
tried to carry on the election OF
officers as near like the City Gov
eminent as possible. / suppose
that about one-fourth of the girls
of Richmond know how the officers
are appointed. All of the officers
of Boytown We're appointed as
nearly like the City Government
with the exception of Prosecuting
Attorney and the Board of Works.
/ will admit that the Boys are
not taking sufficient interest in the
Government but as Prosecuting
Attorney will get after the boys in
the government who are holding
Offices and find out the reason why,
If they don't want their position,
new ones can easily be secured.
In The last years government
boys were appointed who didn't
want positions and naturally they
wouldn't get behind and push the
government on, so things went all
to pieces and nothing was done.
This years government has only
had little over a month to get
started in and in the next Two
weeks things will be going along
as nice and smooth as the G. G. L,
says they are going to do (only
bettcr).
There is one question l would
like to Lave answered by some
supporter of the g. G. L., and that
Is, "How many girls will be Police
women and patrol the streets to
arrest girls and boys?
Floyd Nusbaum.

A Plea From Warner School
Dear Aunt Molly:

Dear Aunt Molly:
don't think it is right TO call the
girl city G. G. l.. Warner has had
G. G. l.. initials for about seven or
eight years. for their Good Govern
ment League. Some other good
names for the girls are Girls Civic
club; Girls City club; Girls Civic
society and Girls City Federation.
When the representatives of War
ner get their badges they will be
SO near like the Girl City. Say.
Aunt Molly, do you think it is right
to take Warmers initials after they
have had them all these years?
Wont's the. girls please change?-

marks, pointed out that no animosity
had been shown toward the returning
American Ambassador in CONSTANT
nople.
In reply Mr.. Elkus declared that I'M
der diplomatic usage he was not privi-
legged to speak as freely as he would
like 10 about events in Turkey. He
said, however, that the great relief work
done by this country In the Far East
had created a high regard for the
United States in Turkey.
America and Americans are much
appreciated and much priced in that
country" said Mr.. Elkus, because Of
the great generosity shown by the
American people in feeding and succor-
ing the poor and sick, regardless of race
or creed. Whenever the time arrives

Strike Not Policeman
Shipyard Machinists' Leader
Denies Charge

"The strike of shipyard machinists
has not been fomented by German
agents." said f. J. Deering, business
agent of the International Association
of Machinists, yesterday. The 1000
men who are on strike are all union
men and pro- American. They are fight
ing only for living wage.
The increase in the price of the
necessaries OF life have made i'm
perative some readjustment of wages,
in order that the men may live.
Long before America declared war
there was talk of strike. With the
declaration OF war the matter has been
brought 70 head
The companies affected so far are:
Tietjen & Lang, A. & W. Fletcher, Con-
solidated Iron Company, Robins Dry
Dock Company, Tebo Yacht Basin and
James Schewen e. Son.
Rowland B. Mahany, mediator of the
Department of Labor. said last night
that the situation is clearing.
Much satisfactory progress has
been made said he. "In Difference 20
the interests of the United Stats in
this crisis. the men have waived every
consideration except that of wages.
A number OF firms have in the last few
days recognized the justice of the
contention Of the men and have agreed
10 pay what the men describe as the
going rate of wages at Atlantic ports

His Lambs Gamble
Cost Priest $500
Members of Russian Flock
Charged with Card Fraud

The Rev. Alex Alehim. pastor of the
Russian Orthodox church at Garfield,
n. j.. is certain that no clergyman
should gamble, unless he doesn't mind
losing $500 in four sittings. He speaks
with authority, for he announced in
the Hackensack, \. j., court yesterday
he gambled with three acquaintance
and lost $500. To say that he minded
it is putting it mildly.
The priest was in court as complain
ant against Essak Rubin, Alex Levy
and r. Schnoll. all members of his
flock, who, he says. taught their shep-
herd to gamble. He alleges, further
more, that they used marked cards.
Nor does he stop there. He told
Justice of the Peace Johnson that, not
content with getting his check for
$500, the three men also forged checks
against him. Rubin, Levy and Schnoll
were held in $500 bail, charged with
obtaining money by fraud, and an ad-
ditional charge Of forgery, with $500
additional bail, was made against Levy
and Schnoll.

Made Prisoner Break
Silence Of II Years
Request Story Was False, but
When Convict Heard His Moth
err Waited He Smiled Again

Seventeen OF the thirty-fve years
which have elapsed since Martin
Sweeney was a noted jockey at the
Emeryvlle track, in California, he has
spent in Sing Sing Prison. During
most Of that time his sister, Mrs. Will
lam Mccormick, of 627 North Trumbull
Avenue, Chicago, has been conducting
a countrywide search for him.
About month ago Sweeney picked
up a Chicago paper and read an adj
vertisement inserted by Mrs. McCor-
mick notifying him that his mother
was dead and had left him a legacy
of $4,000. Some time before that
Warden Meyer had received letter
from Mrs. Mccormick making inquiries
about her brother, but at Sweeney's
request the warden, in replying, evaded
the query. Sweeney said he didn't want
his mother TO know
But now things were different. His
mother was dead and-well, the $500
would come in handy during the re-
naming three years of his twenty-year
sentence for murder. He decided to
break his silence and claim the cash.
SO Sweeney wrote his sister, and a
few days ago she went to Sing Sing,
and there was joyful reunion. Tears
came into Sweeney's eyes as he spoke
of his mothers death
Mother isn't dead said Mrs. Nc
Cormick. She's alive and we'll, and
happy because we've found you. And,
Martin. suppose you'll be pretty mad
at me-bu. there isn't any $4,000 at
all. 1t was just a little way | figured
out of getting you TO answer"
Sweeney sat down hard.
But. Martin. therell be home
waiting for you when you can come.
We are not very we'll off. but we'll
make things just as comfortable as
possible for you, and motherll be so
glad to see you, and
Sweeney smiled through his tears.
It'll be better than all the money
in the world" he said.
officials of the Salvation Army who
had aided Mrs. Mccormick in the long
search have appealed 70 Governor
Whitman for executive clemency, and
yesterday they received an acknowledge
ment Of the receipt of their appeal
They are hopeful that Sweeney soon
will be taking the train for Chicago,
where an aged mother has been waiting
twenty-five years TO see him.
