who had before him ninety-two persons,
all but three OF. whom were able to
grove they had developed into hard
working citizens under the probation
system.
One Of the probationers, now nineteen,
was often in trouble before the court
got hold OF him a year ago he had
been arrested on a charge OF homicfoe'
growing out of pushing another boy
from a dock into the East river. Fol-
lowing his release he became an agent
for big seller Of cocaine and heroin on

He was placed on probation. with the
understanding that he was ffrst 10 take

months ago he returned to the city,
thirty pounds heavier and with the de-
sire for heroin gone, Probation Onicer
Connors got him a job.
Longing for HerOin Gone.
But the youth. while willing. never
quite pleased his employer. He tried
clerking, then sold merchandise over a
counter; next got in the shipping de-
partment OF a big manufacturing con-
Germ. All said he was a failure CHIEF
Probation OffIcer Ryan and Mr.. Con-
nors sent him to DIR. Max G. Schlapp,
with the request:
Please look this man over and see
what you think he is fitted for"
DR.. Schlapp used the Pinet-Simon
tests OF mentality. endurance, nervous
force and power to work with the
hands.
HE has been trying to do the
wrong thing" DIR. Schlapp decided.
He can work with his hands. He
ought to learn a trade"
The probation officers got him
Job as an apprentice in a tool-making
shop. Connors has reported to Jus
tice McInerney that the young man
already was making more money than
he had ever expected to earn, and his
employers reported he was sure
success in his trade. The youth said
the old longing for heroin Is entirely
gone.
Twenty Conquer Drug Habit.
Twenty men who had been to War
wick Farm for the outdoor cure for
the drug habit told the justice that
since their return to the city they
had had no difficulty in finding Jobs
and that the. old craving was gone.
Several were told they need not re-
port longer to the court
When a certain name was called 9
ruddy checked youth, Weighing about
I4O pounds, stepped forward.
Hold on" said Ryan. who had not
seen the prisoner. named since the
day sentence was suspended: you're
the wrong man. He was little fel-
low"
mo; this is the right one.' said
Connors. He explained that six
months ago the youth was a phys
ical wreck, almost insane.f His drug
mania made 1t necessary for him to
have special treatment when he was
brought to the Tombs. The proba-
tion officer. after his visit to War
wick. got him a job, and found his
relatives, with whom he Is now liv-
ing. Abstention from drugs has
made a new man OF him.

While orders from the United States
receive preference, orders from
France, England. and Russia are not
being neglected These orders total
several thousand, IN addition TO the
thousands already made.
The Bethlehem Steel Company, like
other concerns that have both Amerf-

forged, and preparations are well ad-
vaneed to forge an equal number of
sixteen-inch rifles.

Confederate Veterans Reunion
In June

The United Confederate Veterans and their ac-
companying hosts, the Sons of Veterans the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and felow-citizens
from every hamlet in all Dixieland, will meet in
Grand Reunion here the week of June next. Their
gathering is a patriotic event of international
scope. Their coming in the greatest numbers in all
their history for the first time north of the Southern
States symboizes the greatness of the American

public encamped upon Southern SOIL at Louisville;
once President Mckinley, brave Union Veteran,
wearing a Confederate button and miniature Con-
federate flag, marched in triumph in a Macon
parade; today Washington is preparing to pay its
need Of tribute-its first opportunity and perhaps
the last with the waning ages of the coming guests

INDEPENDENT
TICKET IS OUT
McEntee on Two States For
Burgess; Nelly Also
Doubled Up

Rumors that an independent party
would be launched in the borough,
which have been in circulation for
over week, were confirmed
yesterday when an announcement
was made that G. r. Nauss, Pine
street. will head the party ticket as
a candidate for the nomination for
burgess at the November election.
The movement was not started in
time to place the names of the pros
pective candidates on the primary
ticket but the organization work
will be advanced fast enough to have
the names of all candidates placed
on the official ballot for the general
election.
According to men who are back
of the movement the need of an in
dependent party is evidenced by the
reported fact that former burgess
and present councilman, Thomas
7. McEntee, has secured enough
signatures to become the nominee of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties for burgess. 1t is also stated
that Thomas ]. Nelly, president of
council, who is a candidate to sue
ceed himself, has followed the same
tactics and is the only man to be
voted for at the coming primary on
both Democratic and Republican
tickets in the First ward.
In fact, if rumors are correct, this
practice has been followed in all the
borough wards with the exception
of the Third where candidates for
two seats in council will be elected.
They are John Craig, who is now
filling an uneXpired term; II. M,
Boyd, the Rev. o. P. Goodwin and
Peter Blackwell. who was famed in
his last trip to the political plate by
Fred Wagenbach.
Party managers are looking for
able men in all wards as candidates
for. council
