JUDGE FREES MAN HE BEAT
Refuses to Fine Prisoner Whom He
Had Worsted.

ELIZABETH, n. j., Jan. 24.-At-
tackled by an alcohol crazed man who
first attempted to batter down the
door of his home, then shatter the
front windows with his fists, Police
Judge Owen p. Mahon displayed gen
eraIship prescribed by Marquis Of
greensboro rather than Blackstone
by delivering a blow to the point OF
the jaw of his assailant and then Or
dering his arrest. At police court the
offender said he was Andrew b.
Drake, forty-two years old, of Bel
mar. He told Judge Mahon:
During the past week / have lost
considerable money by unwise specu-
lations. ] am not a drinking man,
and the few drinks l had in Eliza
beth yesterday must have made me
temporarily insane. That is the only
way ] can explain my conduct"
81 think there is something in what
you say" replied Judge MahOn. THE
sort of whisky sold here is enough
to make a man do most anything"
Upon being discharged Drake vol
unteered to pay for the damage to
the doors and windows of the Mahon
home.

ably. much less distress has been
caused by the war in Italy than in other
belligerent countries. Since the wars
beginning Italians have worked more.
produced more, and saved more than
ever before.
Inc regulations thriftiness and toll
are proven by the fact that, while the
savings banks had $l,519 100000 on de-
posit on June 30. 1914. the present de-
posits considerably exceed $500, 100000
This. in spite Of the higher cost Of liv-
ing and the war loans, which have abb
sorbed millions Of dollars Of small saw
ings.
Besides, the remittances from emil
grants have almost ceased, as there are
now only 5000 emigrants abroad. COM

ger is abroad in Media. and women
out without escort are going armed
at night to repel attack.
The man, described as young and
well dressed, has accosted and hug
ged half a dozen persons in as many
nights. Age seems no bar to the hug
ger. He has attempted to embrace
fifteen-year-old schoolgirls, and he
has embraced women of fifty and
sixty years.
First to report the hugger was Mrs.
Joseph Rogers, wife of Councilman
Rogers. She was within a square OF
her home when the man grabbed her.
He fled when she screamed. Mrs. John
E. McDonough, wife of a Chester law
yer, was waiting for a trolley car
when the man threw his arms around
her. Mrs. William Suter was grabbed
as she crossed an open lot near her
home. Miss Patience. Allen, niece of
George w. Allen, warden of the Della
ware county jail, was accosted in the
court house square, and Mary Marion,
a schoolgirl, ran for a policeman when
the hugger approached her.

Asked Withdrawal.
After long and prayerful consider
alton, interrupted alternately by
protests against allowing a nurse to
become a member and demands that
democracy rule the club, the execu-
tive committee told Mrs. Gordon that
1t would be best for her to withdraw
her friends name. because there were
protests against her election.
Mrs. Gordon withdrew the name,
the executive committee took a long
breath, and the conservative faction
Of the club began to enjoy its tri-
umph. Rejoicing that a working
girl had been kept out of the exclu-
sive club was heard in the spacious
parlors.

But the chapter was not ended.
Miss Minnigerode's nomination had
been seconded by Mrs. William F.
Sicard, a natural insurgent. She did
not propose to let the case drop, by
any means. With Mrs. Gordon's as
sistance she appealed to the rank
and file of the club.
Tuesday forenoon the annual meet
ing was held. Mrs. Richey, the presi-
dent, was absent, so Mrs. Wallace
Radcliffe, presided. When 1t was
supposed all business was over Mrs.
Sicard arose and presented q docu-
ment, signed by scores of members
of the club, and reading something
like this:
What They Think.
1.-THE undersigned members of the
Washington Club are of the opinion
that a trained nurse. being other

is a trained nurse"
The conservatives gasped at this
coup. Mrs. Sicard said she moved
that the club, in annual session,
adopt the statement as a resolution.
The question was put and over
Yhelmingly carried on q yea and nay
vote. The noes were so few that no
count was demanded.
