HALIFAX December 19,-Late

PURSE SNATCHER
SNATCHED BY A
PLUCKY WOMAN
AT THE SHOWS
MRS. E. E. WALKER CATCHES A
MAN WHO GRABBED HER
PURSE AND TRIED TO ESCAPE
IN THE CROWD

Yesterday in Justice Wilkes court
there was tried and convicted of rob-
berry man named Juan MARITIME, who
was sentenced to thirty days in the
county Jail for snatching purse from
lady. And it is quite a story:
Monday evening as she was taking
in the sights at the Carnival, Mrs.
E. E. Walker felt her handbag slipped
out of her grasp by man who ran
swiftly through the crowd, hoping to
lose himself therein before the lady
could recover her wits after the au-
dacious transaction; but Mrs. Walker
was too quick witted and too swift
for him. She followed him rapidly
through his devious windings among
the people, and in less time than it
takes to tell it she grabbed him, took
away from him her handbag, and
called the police, holding on to her
capture until an officer came and took
the man to Jail.
Yesterday trial was had, and the
plucky Mrs. Walker, the officer who
took the man to Jail, and other wit
nesses, testified to the facts related.
The rest of the story is told in the
opening paragraph.

GAY WALKING" MUST
STOP IN BOSTON STREETS

BOSTON, Dec, 19.-"Jay-walking
must STOP" says Colonel John w. De-
crow, commander of the First Motor
Corps traffic squad, who is direct
ing another move to protect the lives
of Boston citizens by keeping them
on the crosswalks and not allowing
them to cross the street at any other
place.
In two hours one of Colonel De-
crows men on duty at the corner of
State and Congress streets, stopped
155 pedestrians who were not using
the street crossing. The guard said
that most of them apologized and
declared that they did not realize the
danger.
"We have eighty-five posts," said
Colonel Decrow. eff 155 persons were
stopped by each guard every two
hours the result would be that 1875
persons put themselves into unneces-
sary danger every two hours of the
day. If we stop the "jay-walling"
the number of accidents will de-
crease"

Justice Wilkes court was engaged
yesterday in hearing a case involving
a set of harness stolen some time ago
from Mr.. T. F. Hines, the contractor,
who had lost by theft a set of har-
ness for four-horse team.
In tracing up the lost harness Of
ficer Tom Cumming found the set in
a shack where one Sefveriano Colosio
kept his own harness; and he arrest
ed the man for the theft. Upon trial
Colosio stated that it was a surprise
to him to have the harness found in
the place where his own was kept.
He told what he knew about the
stolen property. He had wanted to
buy a single harness, and had given
it out that he did. Two men came
to him to sell a single harness, but
when they produced the goods there
were four harnesses, and he would not
trade.
The men who brought the harnesses
left his place, and they must have
secreted them in the shack where
found. On that testimony and pre-
vious good character Colosio was ac-
quilted.
At the Carnival Tuesday evening
Colosio recognized two men as those
who had offered for sale the Hines
harness, and he called attention of
Charles Lopez to the men, who ar
rested them and lodged them in Jail.
They gave the names Ruiz Rosales
and Lozano Gotta.
Yesterday they were brought into
court for hearing and Colosio identi-
fled them as the men who offered to
sell him the harness in evidence. Then

FOREST FIRES
TOOK HEAVY TOLL
LAST SEASON
REPORT OF FOREST SERVICE
IN ARIZONA AND NEW MEX
ICO OF RAVAGES BY FIRE IN
THEIR DISTRICT

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Dec 49,
Four hundred an four forest fires
have occurred during the past season
in the national forests of Arizona and
New Mexico, according to a report
just compiled by the Forest Service.
Fully fifty per cent of these fires
were caused by human agency, and
approximately fifty per cent by light,
ming. Among those caused by human
agency, the largest number were set
by logging operations, and the next
largest number by campers.
Those fires burned more than six
thousand acres of forest land, caused
damage of about $4,000, and cost ov-
ell $4,000 to extinguish. One and one
fourth million board feet of timber
were destroyed. Owing to heavy rains
the past fire season was not danger
Gus or destructive as the average sea-
son.
With the increasing use of the ma
tiolal forests by the public, the For
est Service is planning an aggressive
campaign to prevent the carless set
ting Of fires, and to prosecute those
responsible for such fires. The mere
fact that in a favorable season the
majority Of fires are held to small
acreage does not remove the danger
Of disasterous fires in bad seasons
according to forest officials.

PRESIDENT WILL SETTLE THE

DIFFICULTIES UNDER RE-
VIEW
Omitted Press Seryice)

WASHINGTON, December 19.-
President Wilson is in full charge of
the Mexican situation, having desir-
ed that Carranza's reply to the last
note from the United States demand
ing Jenkins release be submitted to
him.
Mr.. Wilson is considering whether
the Jenkins case should be closed by
simply forgetting to answer the last
note from the Carranza government
or to send another note to clear away
all evidences of hostility.
Although this government feels that
1T has been tricked in the Jenkins
case, the consular agent is free on
bail, and that makes it impossible to
continue demanding his release with
out getting into a technical debate
which might merge upon the ridicul-
Gus.
1t is felt that the entire Mexican oil
situation has been brought to a cru
cial stage by Carranza's recent action
in preventing American companies
from drilling new wells. 1t is under
stood that this phase of the Mexican
situation is also before President Will

SPIRITUALISTS ALLIED WITH
THE DEVIL, PASTORS SAY

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 19.-That
spiritualists, if possessed with power
to communicate directly with the
spirit world, are allied with the
devil and his fallen angels is the
claim made from a numebr of local
pulpits.
"Spiritualism, though it comes to
US under the guise of modernism, vet
is not modern, but is as old as the
activities of Satan among men," de-
clared Rev. J. T. Britain, pastor of
the Central Presbyterian Church here
one of the most prominent of the
clergymen in Ohio's capital city.
"The Old Testament declares spir-
itualism is idolatry, a setting aside
of God himself and morality, right
eousness and every true principle of
human life," continued DIR. Britain.
"The New Testament is equally posi-
tive in it's statements"
"Spiritualism takes advantage of
people when they are weak and
worn out and morbid under life's be-
reavement and, through lying spir-
its, deceives and ensnares," said Rev.
Charles F. Ulrich.
"Fallen angels, because of their su-
perior powers, are able to initiate
the voice and mannerisms of our
dead friends, thus deceiving even the
mediums who are under their con-
troll" declared Rev. w. H. Spring.

graphic and Geological Survey of
Pennsylvania.
