STANLEY'S ACTS
CAUSE RUPTURE
IN. POLICE BOARD
Crisis Reached When Chair
man Ordered Illegal Ar
rest of Couples.

The impulsive, Independent actions
Of Police Commissioner John C. Stan
ley has resulted in disrupting con-
certed action by the police board and
the split among the commissioners is
one of the subjects of discussion in
political and police circles.
It is reported that Richard r. MUIR
decided exceptions to the methods of
Stanley and the action Of the latter
in causing the arrest of a number of
respectable couples, walking through,
or sitting in, Beardsley park recently,
brought matters to crisis.
Lyddy and Murphy it Is understood
contemplated resigning from the
board not wishing to be connected by
the public, with proceedings Of such
a high-handed character. On the
advice of friends, however, 1t is stat
ed they changed their minds. Com
missioner Peet it is stated is taking
a neutral stand and refuses to come
down off the fence to take sides
with either faction.
The recent condemnation and cri-
ticism Of certain actions and policies
of the police are laid to Stanley, who
acts independently of the other COM
nnissioners and does not even consult
them on matters of importance.
Among those whose arrest he caused
at Beardsley park was a young man
of high standing socially and po1iti-
cally in this city.
The indignant citizen, who was
walking with his fiance when Stanley
ordered her dragged into a patrol
wagon, this action causing the girl
to become hysterica1, refused to ac-
cept an apology from the laundering
police head and has threatened to
make matters hot for the latter. City
officials for the past year have pri-
vately advised stanleys removal on
the grounds of Incompetence and
temperamenta1 unfitness.

no good. On the other hand the fact
that "Fruit-a-tives' Is entirely differ

NINON DE LENCLOS

Ninon de Lenclos. the celebrated
French beauty, may almost be said
to have enjoyed perennial youth. She
was born in 1915 and died in October.
1905, at the age of ninety. Her life
exhibits striking illustration of
French society and morals during
that period. She lived in the reign
of Louis XIV and through her wit
gained a distinguished place in Paris
ian society. This. despite the fact
that, according to modern standards,
she had rather wild career. She
was well informed, spoke several lam
guages and in her salons were to be
found the leading lights of the day
and among her many lovers were
some of the leading men in France
She was favored by royalty and no
one. of note in Europe visited Paris
without visiting her. Yet with all
her natural advantages, and amid all
the splendors. with which she was
surrounded, Ninon de Lenclos was
never happy and used to declare, in
her old age, that were she compelled
to live over again her past years, she
would certainly commence by hang
ing herself. Ninon's father was a
gentleman of good family in Tour
aine. He was much given to worldly
pleasures, while her mother, a wo-s
man of aristocratic birth, had entire
ly different tendencies. She endeav-
ored to make a nun of her daughter,
but the latter's high spirits led her
quite in the opposite direction. At the
age of fifteen she was left an orpha
with large fortune at her disposal
Society opened it's doors to her and
admirers flocked about her, many of
| these becoming her lovers. It is said
that she dreaded nothing more than
to form a permanent connection by
marriage. She had two sons, one of
whom became an officer in the
French navy and who died in 1892.
The other, a son of Marquis of Ger
say, and named Villiers by his father,
had the tragic experience of falling
in love with sim other, not knowing
| that Ninon de Lenc1os was the wo-
| man who gave him birth. His par
entage had been concealed from him
and coming to Paris and having
heard Of the woman's charms sought
and gained an Introduction. He i'm
mediately fell in, love with her. She
implored the young man to leave her
and when he persisted, told him that
she was his mother. He was so hor-
rified at this disclosure, that he
forthwith blew out his brains.

EIGHT KILLED
IN LIFE BOATS
BY SHELL FIRE
Germans Attacked Open
Boats in Which Re-
fugees Were

London, July 30.-Eight men were
killed and several wounded by the
Smelling by a German submarine of
the life boats of the Elder Dempster
Addah, which was torpedoed. on June
49, according to an official version of
the affair. One boat was sunk by
shrapnel fire from the submarine and
the survivors were sprayed with
shrapnel while they were in the wa
ter waiting for the other boats to
pick them up.
The official narrative says that the
submarine commander went along
side of one of the Addah's life boats
and made use of her to send some
of the crew of the submarine on
board the Addah just before the
steamer sank. When the submarines
crew had been returned to their
craft, the officer in command of the
life boat was ordered to move away
from the submarine.
''By this, time" the official state
ment reads, &c the boat commanded
by the captain of the Addah which
already was badly smashed by one
of the shells from the submarine,
was about three or four hundred
yards away from the German craft"
THE submarine again opened fire
On the CapIdlIS BOAT WIN Snrdpnel
killing eight men and taking the
boats stern off. Even after the boat
had been sunk and the men were
swimming in the water, the submar-
inc shelled them with shrapneI
When the German thought he had
finished everybody who was in the
captains boat, he then opened fire
ON the chief officers boat, firing eight
shrapnel. Fortunately nobody was
killed,A but only holing the boat,
breaking the oars and wounding sew
era1 men slightly.
after this the submarine comman-
der waved to the chief officer to go
over to the position where the cap
tain and several other people were
swimming about to pick them up, and
the submarine then went away on
the surface.
The captain and the remainder of
the men were then picked up and
taken aboard the chief officers boat,
and were eventually picked pu by a
French patrol steamer.
