Hunted by the police of a dozen
cities and faced by the Possibility Of
being doomed to an insane asylum OF
a prison for life, the man who killed
Stanford White and whose wild es'

slashed his throat and wrist with q

Thaw's act was committed IN a
West Philadelphia rooming house.
Ec had sought refuge here under an
assumed name to avoid arrest on the
criminal charges brought against him
in New York, by Frederick Gump

Removed to private room in St
Mary's Hospital, atcer a lapse Of
hours, the famous fugitive wa;

surgeons.
Twenty stitches were taken in two
wounds on the left side of. his necl
and ten in the left wrist where 6

Kirby. However, he is terribly weak

PROSPERITY VS.. HIGH PRICES.

mo such thing exists in America prosperity
for just class, unless itexists for all So said
noted statesman last fall, and millions of Americans
believed him, but differ from him.
Our present socaled prosperity is a prosperity of
the CLASSES. 1t is most emphatically NOT a pros,
perity of the MASSES
The munitions manufacturer is prosperous be-
cause Europe is camoring for hi prod acts.
The automobile maker prospers because the craze
for the buzz wagon is on the upward slant.
The farmer prospers because Europe demands his
products.
Certain other special industries prosper because'a
war crazcd Europe need their wares with which to
prolong the struggle.
And there the REAL prosperity ends, The mil
lions of salaried and and the more modest
wage earners are immeasurably worse off than they
were five years ago Thousands of printers and
publishers facing actual ruin The small merchant
has difficulty in making both ends meet Thousands
of professional men wondering how they can pay
their rent.
High prices are the result OF this half prosperity
but ALL people have them TO pay. The Classes have
the money with which to pay, but the MASSES are
wondering where it is coming from.
