PRIEST BEATS COPS
IN BURGLAR CHASE
Chaplain Coogdn Choses and
Captures Alleged Thief.

The Rev John J. Coogan. Catholic
chaplain of the Police Department, de-
serted an excellent luncheon yesterday
in the rectory of st. Jerome's Church In
East l37th street to chase four blocks
after a man who was suspected of rob-
bling a cafe and captured tine fugitive
single handed in the coal bin of an
apartment house. He was in CONVERSE
ton with others of the clergy in the
parish house when four shots from no.
iiceman's revolver barked In the street
outside.
On the Police Department rolls Father
Coogan ranks as Inspector. He could
hardly be expected even in this official
capacity to embark personally on the
purusit OF minor offenders against the
law. The inspector usually insists on the
cops doing the tootwork. Not so In
ppector Coogan He dashed without
apology from the rectory and reached
the street in FIVE leaps. nearly bowling
over one Of the detectives engaged In
the chase. Up the street he saw the
heels of the suspected robber racing
along.
'l'll help you!" exclaimed Father Coo
gan. And he ran with the officers.
The fugitive turned into a apartment
in West 136th street and made for the
upstairs room. Father Coogan was as
signed to the cellar and the detectives
and a policeman rummaged through the
house. One OF the detectives found the
man under a bed, but when he dragged
him out the fugitive dashed past HIM.
headed for an air shaft. Before the de-
tective could stop him he had swung
through the opening, plunging down.
ward.
Father Coogan. standing inside the
cellar door, heard the crash OF the man
landing in the coal pile and was there
in an instant When the detectives
raced down to his aid they found the
prisoner and Father Coogan somewhat
blackened from their contact with the
coal, but with Father Coogan on top.
The prisoner went meekly enough to
MOrrisania court.
There he was charged with robbing
the saloon OF John Nentor, 4Sl Morris
avenue, on August 81, and held i'm $2,50o
bail.

HARVEY'S ARMENIA
FUND SCRUTINIZED
Promoter Got $4,000, but So
Far Has Not Made Any
Accounting.

The activities Of David NJ. Harvey
Commission were scrutinized yesterday
by District Attorney Swami, who is
probing the affairs of the promoter
whose proposed reception to Gen.
Pershing was called off after his arrest
last Monday night.
The District Attorney learned yester-
day that Henry L. Rupert OF 1 Madi-
son avenue advanced s32,00 to Har-
vey to be used in the promotion Of
his film. "Ravished Armenia" which
was to be exhibited for the benefit Of
the fund. Although repeated demands
have been made upon Harvey for an
accounting. MIR. Rupert told the Dis
trict Attorney, no accounting has been
made as yet
These circumstances were learned by
the prosecutor after he had spent con-
siderable time in questioning Mrs. Henry
f. Dimock. head of the committee in
charge of the George Washington Memo
rial Fund. under whose auspices Harvey
had attempted to launch the Pershing
reception.
Mrs. Dimock, who visited the District
Attorneys office with her attorney,
former Justice Francis NJ. Scott, was
positive in her assertion that Harvey
had not had the management OF any
money for the fund of which she Is
head. He was to have received per
cent. of the profits from the Pershing
entertainment, in accordance with the
terms of his agreement with her which
provided for such commissions on all
benefits that he might arrange. and he
had received $4,000 as an advance on
expenses, but outside of these items,
Mrs. Dimock said. he got nothing from
the George Washington Memorial Fund.
After this interview Alfred j. Talley,
who took a hand at the discussion. an
nounced that the investigation did not
reflect in any way upon the George
Washington Memorial Fund and Mrs
Dimocks praiseworthy work in connec-
ton with 1t. He said that when Har-
vey is arraigned in the Court of Cen
eral Sessions to-day he will be charged
with violation of his parole, because OF
the fact that he failed to report to his
probation officer after his release In
1909 on suspended sentence after con-
yiction for grand larceny.
Another accuser to appear against Har-
vey, according to the District Attorney.
is a motion picture actress who claims
to hold two worthless checks for $500

short while ago Fred Berry, man.

branch at 14Sth street and Third avenue,
The Bronx. made the startling discovery
that $4,000 worth of Liberty bonds that

vaults Of his institution had vanished.
He called in Detective Buddemeyer
and other police. who set to work by a
process of elimination among the en-
ployees to- find the one responsible.
After generating a great many persons
on the force they discovered that Robert
Borchwick seventeen-year-old clerk in
the loan department drawing salary
OF 81 a week. was leading life of
gayety. For several days they watched
him as he came to business attired in
the most expensive clothes, while the
other clerks were doing their best to
make their old apparel last.
When Borchwicx left the bank last
night two detectives invited him to have
talk with them and inquired the source
of his grea. wealth. Within few min
utes the boy broke down and made a
fearful confession that he had been car
rying bonds out of the bank now and
then since the early part OF July, and
had sold them to various brokers about
the city.
The boy took the detectives to his
home at 523 st. AIMS avenue, TIE
Bronx, where he has been living with
his father, a plasterer, and his mother
There In his little ballroom he pulled
open a bureau drawer and exhibited
$4,000 in cash which he had realized
on the sale of stolen bonds.
He told the officers he had spent up
ward of $500 treating his friends. and
that other sums had gone in ways that
he could not account for
Mr.. Berry, who appeared as complain
ant against the boy, swore TO a warrant

worth of the securities, this being the
amount for which he was unable to turn
over any money.

MUNROE OPENS N. J.
HARVARD FUND DRIVE
Tells Why University Needs
SIS, 700, 900 Endowment.

Vernon Munroe OF Englewood, n. j.,
who is chairman of the committee TO
raise northern New Jerseys quota of
the S15,000,000 endowment fund for
Harvard University. yesterday gave
out the following statement in regard
TO the organization of his section and
the needs of Harvard. There are some
500 Harvard men in northern New Jer-
sey and his committee intends to reach
them.
Mr. Munroe was director OF war saw
ings for the state of New Jersey dur
ing the war, and was formerly presi-
dent of the International Motor Com
pany of Plainheld, n. j., and Mayor
Of Englewood.
Harvard University is in posi-
ton" said Mr.. Munroe, where she
must asquire large additional amount
of unrestricted endowment, or retrench
in way which will seriously impair her
usefulness Her professors and in
structors are ridlculously underpaid to-
day, and her equipment under the
greatly increased price scale is not
keeping pace with modern demands.
The critical nature Of the situation
in regard to her professors Is evident
in the loss recently of some of her most
tract younger men into the profession
of teaching. These conditions obtain
generally throughout the country.
Harvard, as one of the leaders OF
American education, must meet them, II
she is to be worthy of her position. IL
the situation Is not met, education will
suffer, as the ministry has suffered, for
lack of adequate prospects for those
who enter 1t. We cannot afford to let
It suffer now. The country must meet
the emergency.
ITO approach the Harvard men OF
northern New Jersey--that liz north OF
line running from Trenton to Asbury
Park-the section has been divided into
nine districts, for which chairmen OF
local canvassing committees are being
carefully chosen. These selections prob
ably will be completed In a week or
ten days and. everything placed In
readiness for the active campaign OF
canvassing which will start about oc-
tober I.
1.-THE campaign will cover not only
Harvard graduates, but others whom
we know are interested in American
education in general and who are
awake to the position in which rising
prices have placed It to-day"

A Letter a Few
Days Ago from
the Vicinity of
Pompeii, Italy

recalls wildly visits years ago
to the desolate city, ruined in
a few hours by the burning lava
of Vesuvius.
No one can forget the little
Museum of Pompeii and the
Roman soldier therein, CARRIED
in full arInor, who stood to his
post by the city gate in that
storm of fire.
Mark Twain, writing of Pom
peii, said of this sentinel:
There he stood erect and I'M
fiinching till the that ragged
around him burned out the
dauntless spirit it could not con-
quer."
To prefer death to dishonor
is finer thing than life.
The man who can stand to his
convictions is great in any age.
The days to stand alone like
the Roman soldier at the post
of duty are not yet past.
Every city in the land, and
every rank of life-statesman-
ship, trade, journalism-calls
for men of staunch convictions
and backbone to courageously
meet the mob of blubbering
time-servers, regardless of per-
sonal consequences.
The New Kind of Store from
its first days is better today
than it was then, and it glories
in its distinctions.

The wrong shoe

Nowadays we use our feet
for walking and standing only.
And we should walk more and
stand less. The more we walk,
the better we can walk. We
should walk off strong, in a
good four-mile-an-hour swing.
To walk we'll means purpose,
decision.
We ride whenever it is pos
sible, use elevators-in short,
do anything and everything to
avoid using the feet. Result
our feet are getting back at
us by refusing service, or CIV
ing service grudgingly.
People are not kind to their
feet these days. No part of
the body deserves more atten-
ton, and receives less, than
the foot.
Many people wear what are
commonly known as common
sense" shoes, yet have troubles
because the shoes do not have
the straight axis and weight
supporting feature of Anato-
mix Shoes--the kind to wear.
The majority of folks these
days are more concerned with
shoe style than with shoe com
fort. But it is possible to get
shoes that will afford you the
maximum of service and salts
faction.
If you want your feet to re-
main young, healthy and
happy, you want Anatomik
Shoes. They fit the foot as it
is, not as some people think it
ought to be.
Anatomik Shoes were in
vented by a man who has
studied shoe science long and
to purpose. If you treat your
feet with the respect that is
due them, they will recipro-
cate, be assured, You arc

'pect when you give them
