And Then Remorses Pangs.
Two months ago George Melton
went to Pittsburgh to work. He was
to send for Ellen. his wife, later on.
In the meantime he sent little
money every pay day.
He wrote Ellen to come on. She
hesitated and asked for more
liberal allowance. George sent it..
Then he got to thinking.
He wrote a letter to a friend. When
that friend answered it George lacked
up his job and rushed to Washington
He was as made as a wet hen when
he got here. He didn't ask wifey any
questions. He sailed into her and
whipped her numerically.
She swore that she had been faith
ful, but George had seen an old enemy
of his leaving a side door as he came
in.
He was a collector, wife said, but
George in his rage refused to believe
it. All the collectors he ever saw
left by the front door,
But wifey proved that she was right
and George had to pay a so fine and
1t is likely that wifey will forgive him
for being SO jealous.

PULLMAN urges MEN
To BOOST THE loan
Only Way to Crush Germany. Police
Head Says in Appeal.

4 ferveut and urgent appeal was
sent out last night by Maj. Raymond
W. Pullman, superintendent of police,
TO all the men Of his command to sup
port to the best of their ability the
second issue Of the liberty loan and IN
such q way deal a crushing blow to
Germany"
Major Pullman's communication
reads:
There is only one more week in the
liberty loan campaign.
For this period Of time you have
the privilege of helping our nation
at war by investing in government
bonds at per cent interest. II you
have already invested, you have the
same period of time 10 carry the lib
eEty loan message to any of your
friends, your relatives and others who
have been slow to grasp the oppoI-
tunity to buy the bonds.
III there is a large oversubscription
to the second liberty bond issue. as
there was in the first issue. the people
OF the National Capital lead in the
second campaign as they led in the
first, a crushing blow will have been
dealt to Germany.
IF. on the other hand. this second
liberty loan fails. and should not be
oversubscribed. Germany will sneer
at the weakness of the American pe0-
pie, will take new courage. and per.
maps the duration of the war will be
greatly extended just because our
people may not show the strong finan-
cial support to the government which
we expect them to show.
Therefore, subscribe now, and
make an investment OF your money at
good rate of interest. Help to bring
another victory to the American flag.
Those OF you who have subscribed.
please make it your patriotic duty to
talk liberty bonds to others. Too
much cannot be done to make sure
that this second issue goes over. 1t
is duty and should be a pleasure to
all Of US to help put it over"

POLICE ARREST
FOUR P|CKETS
Crowd Jeers Sufragists,
but Banners Are
Unmolested.

Led by Miss Alice Paul. chairman of
the National Woman's party. she. and
three Of her suffrage colleagues
bearing banners containing quota
tions from President wilson's war
message. were ARRESTED yesterday
afternoon at the gates OF the White
House.
Timing their departure from Cam
eron House in order to meet the
countless number of government
clerks on their way homeward, the
pickets took their places at the
White House gates shortly after
4:3o amid the jeers OF the assem-
blage.
Patrol, Ii Summoned.
Sergeant Lee warned the pickets
and then ordered one of the White
House guards to telephone for the
patrol from the First precinct.
Shortly after the gong of the pa
troll as 1t rushed through Madison
place brought fresh cheers from the
crowd.
Capt. Colin G. Flather. of the
First precinct, assumed command
on his arrival and the suffs were
taken into custody by Mrs. Penne-
field. a -matron at the House of De-
tention. Detective O'Dca and Capt.
Father. As the patrol drove from
the scene with the banners dan
Cling from the rear, crys OF "Give
them a year" and give my regards
to Whitaker" were frequently
heard.
The pickets arrested were: Miss
Alice Paul, DR.. Caroline Spencer, OF
Colorado Springs, Col; Miss Caro-
line Croker. Of Chicago, and Mrs.
Gladys Greiner. of Baltimore.
daughter of one of the members OF
the Root Mission which was sent TO
Russia by President Wilson.
Banners Unmolested.
Probably the most unusual feature
was the fact that the crowd did rot
try to tear down the banners as on
previous occasions and the police
managed to keep the crowd moving.
The pickets arrested yesterday will,
in all probability. be sentenced Mon
day together with eleven others ar
rested for picketing the White House
on October 6.
Miss Alice Paul. one of the pickets
arrested yesterday, was summoned
Friday to appear in court for sentence
for picketing on October 6, and IL is
expected that she will receive the
heaviest sentence of all.

FILES BRIEF IN
SCHNEIDER CASE
Counsel for Former Police
Captain Asks Commis-
sioners to Decide.

As protest to the findings of the
special police trial board on Septem-
ber 10, Wilton ]. Lambert, attorney
for Henry Schneider. former captain
OF the Seventh police precinct, who
was declared guilty and relieved from
his duties as a police official, yester-
day filed q brief of the case in the
District building. to await the con-
sideration OF the Commissioners. They
will decide whether Schneider will be
reinstated to his former position or
definitely dropped from the rolls of
the Metropolitan police force.
After the finding OF the trial board,
! which declared that Schneider was
guilty of two of the four charges
laid against him, the ex-police captain
asked the Commissioners for an oral
hearing. This request was temporarily
refused however by a letter from the
Commissioners asking Lambert. to
submit the appeal in written form.
OF Long Service.
Schneider has been a member Of
the police department for nearly rs
years, and since 1905 he had been
a captain in the department in charge
| Of a precinct.
On September II, 1917, Schneider was
placed on trial and was confronted
with four charges and specifications.
| The charge applicable to each specifl-
cation was as follows:
Conduct prejudicial to the reputa-
ton. good order and discipline of the
Metropolitan police force, in violation
Of paragraph /. section IL, of the
Manual governing said force"
The charge against Schneider de-
veloped from the case of Edward Ell
lison. a junk dealer, who was in
dicted by the authorities of Alexan-
dria County, Va, for stealing a case
of shoes from the freight yards of
the Southern Railway Company.
Frank L. Ball, commemorative at
torney of Alexandria County. prefer
red the charges against Schneider.
alleging that the police captain had
endeavored to obtain "a settlement
out Of court" for Ellison.
The District Commissioners have set
no definite date to render a decision
on Lambert's appeal of Schncider's
case AS soon as possible, however,
after thorough Investigation of the
charge have been made Commissioner
Brownlow will announce the verdict
This decision of the Commissioners
may be final In the case of Capt.
Schneider and determine whether
or not he will be exonerated of the
charges and returned to the captaincy
Of the Ninth precinct. Schneider Is
determined to fight his case until
every method Is exhausted and still
maintains that he is innocent.

STORk MAKING NROADS ON GRIM REAPER
in THIS CITY, ACCORDING TO STATISTICS;
1917 PROMISES TO Be RECORD BREAKER
This Is Due to Increased Population Which
Brings with 1t Marriages and Deaths.
Heart Disease Outdistances tuberculosis.

States. Cleanliness, the Health De-
partment says, is of vast Importance
In rearing children. We have q
wealth of 1t. From the industrial
angle Of the question, Washington.
while not filled with mills and enor-
nous manufacturing establishments
where endless numbers Of women
and girls are employed. there IL not.
even with the government depart
ments here, the great number of sin
gle girls employed instead of attend
ing to the business Of homemaking.
In large cities where there are vast
manufacturing establishments, there
is more temptation for, women to
stay single and shift for themselves.
Likewise there is more immortality.
A careful observer will notice in
Washington more young married
women than in any other city of its
size in the country.
Many Wedding Rings.
Notice in the street cars and on
the street the number of wedding
rings. And notice, too. the lesser
number of unmarried mothers. Sta
tistics from rescue homes in Wash
ington and elsewhere will show an
enormous difference in favor OF
Washington.
Another thing worthy OF notice Is
the immense number of go-carts
and baby carriages to be seen on
the streets OF Washington. In large
manufacturing cities, where the
streets are narrow and conditions
overcrowded in general, the first
noticeable thing to a new resident
In that sort of a city. even IL about
the same size OF Washington, will
be the absence OF small children.
Even though the city has not the
foreign population that some other
cities have, 1t Is noted for the num-
ber of children to be see outdoors
either in the parks. Fairgrounds or
on the streets. True, there are, of
course large numbers OF small chill
dren In every city of any conse-
quence, but they stick around the
house. Conditions. do not permit their
running loose as they do here.
For instance. take Pittsburgh
with 1,250.000 people scattered
through it. The absence OF chill
dren, except on Sundays. in the few
scattered parks is a matter of COM
ment not only there. but elsewhere.
There is no comparison between
New York and Washington. because
the former is known to have both
an enormous birth and death rate.
Girls marry at a much younger
age in Washington. The city is not
filled with Broadway restaurants
and East Side dives. While it is not
as clean morally as it might be. IT
is far behind any other city Of its
size in the world in the things that
make for immortality. licentious-
ness and late marriages.

The Stork is gaining on the Grim
Reaper in the National Capital. The
doctors and trained nurses are buster
than the undertakers and getting
buster every year. During 1917, IL the
first six months mean anything, botf
the Stork and the Grim Reaper will
be much buster than any year eince
1918.
This, OF course. is due to the in
creased population of the city which
itself brings an increase in marriages,
and likewise deaths. Increases In
births and deaths rarely come about
Dy any other way, Usually one falls
of and the other increases. It is the
natural order unless, of course, a city
takes a spasmodic sprout like Wash
ington has done in the last six
months.
The first six months of 1917 show
3,507 deaths and 3,6S6 births, agains:
the first six months of 1916. with 3.3Ss
deaths and 1854 births. making a dif-
ference of 1l9 deaths and l02 births
more for 1917. These lO2 births arc
rot war babies. They are just every
day American babies.
The total deaths in 1916 were 6.i9i,
and births 7.25S. a difference I'm favor
Of the Stork of 764. For 1915 total
deaths amounted to 6,5o5. II more than
ls16. Births for 1915 were 1857, 81 less
than 1916. The Stork fell down on the
job here. For 1914 we have $3.50
deaths. $50 less than 1915 Births were
for 1914. 7.l30. 63 more than 1915. The
Stork recuperated little that year.
For 1913, 6.o06 deaths, 40 more than
1914. Births were 6,903, 127 less than
1914 The Stork was way off the line
that year. Many of us already know
the cause of death. but few of US
realize the advantages of Washing
ton favoring the advent of the baby
Heart Disease Prevalent.
Contrary to general opinion, tuber-
culosis is not near so prevalent in
Washington as other disease. Heart
disease outdistances tuberculosis by
at least 5 per cent. Pneumonia fol-
lows tuberculosis in its ravages.
Then comes Brights disease, apo
plexy and cancer and other malig-
nant growths. These diseases ac-
count for at least 30 per cent of the
deaths Of this city and in other cities,
too.
While statistics from other cities
are not available at present, it is a
certainty that Washington will show
a lower death rate than any city of
its size In the United States. 1t will
also show as good a birth rate or bet
ter. Conditions in Washington are
more favorable for births, than any
other city of its size.
There is more room in Washington
for children. The streets are wider,
giving more space for play and re-
creation, parks are plentiful and it is
the cleanest large city in the United
