Mulberry and Elizabeth Street
Stations Mourn Loss of
Loyal Friend,

Bum, the yellow dog OF indiscrimi-
nate ancestry who has been the friend
OF policemen Of the Mulberry Street
and Elizabeth Street stations for
twelve years. is at the point of death
in the Animal Hospital at Bond and
Lafayette Streets. He has been an
ing with cancer for more than year
The big. shorthaired dog walked
into the offios Of Capt Joe Burns In
Mulberry Street station in 1907. Door
man Flood put him out three times
and was about 10 use violence when
Capt. Burns interfered. Until the
station was abolished and the pre-
clnct consolidated with Elizabeth
street Bum" slept on the doormat In
the captains office no matter who the
caatain. in the ebb and fiow OF trans
foEs, happened TO be.
He selected Policeman William Kirk
as his particular friend and accom-
panied him on post. The two were
officially credited with saving the life
OF a little girl in Elizabeth Street
whose clothes caught fire from a
chestnut roasting brazier. Bum
knocked her down and held her until
Kirk came; then the policeman rolled
her in a pushcart mans stock OF
clothes until the flames were out. For
this Mrs. James Speyer conferred a
medal on Bum" which the dog al
ways wore when he paraded with the
platoon. Bum" always inspected all
roll calls and never failed TO turn out
with the reserves. He was known at
all the restaurants frequented by po-
llcemen and requisitioned his meals
by appearing In front OF Batzlngs In
BrOome Street or Beef Steak Johns
or Rankln's on the Bowery and bark
ing when he was hungry He was
the only dog in New York privileged
never TO wear a muzzle and Is credited
with never having abused his liberty
by so much as swapping at man,
woman or child.
Since he took over Policeman Bruins
when Kirk was transferred, Bruins
has taken Bum TO Hammels for the
summer months and the dlgnlfied and
friendly big yellow dog has become
almost as familiar there as In the
streets west OF the Bowery.

SUIT WILL BE WITHDRAWN
IF A PETITION is FILED

The public utilities commission of
Kansas vii withdraw the pending suit
in district court asking that the South
western Telephone Co. be restrained
from collecting the recent raise in
rates in many Kansas towns, if the
telephone company will file petition
for an increase of rates with the COM
mission according to law. Then an in
vestigation will be made by the COM
mission to see if the increased receipts
are devoted wholly to the payment of
increased wages to employees. If such
investigator shows the rates are nee
essary they will be approved.
Such is the substance Of a PROPOSE
ton made by the Kansas commission
to employees of the Bell company, who
went to Topeka from Wichita, Cha
mute, Atchison, Hutchinson, Coffey-
vile, Pittsburg, Kinsley and lola.
They appeared before the commission
and stated, in an informal hearing,
that their wages could not be raised
unless the telephone rates were ad-
vanced. The employees were men and
women from the commercial, plant
and traffic departments.
The arguments in district court
were concluded yesterday, but decis-
ion was not made. At the same time
the United States supreme court was
hearing arguments in injunction suits,
covering practically the same ground,
brought by Kansas, South Dakota,
Massachusetts, and other states. De-
cision will be made later.

THE SUCKER CATCH

The United States has many valu.
able fisheries. But all the salmon AND
cod and mackerel may not equal the
great catch of suckers to be made this
year.
The pursuers thereof have their
eyes firmly fastened on the 10000.
0O0,OO which the American people
have invested in Liberty bonds. They
propose to transfer a large portion Of
that amount to their own pockets.
Many Liberty bond holders who
know little or nothing about invest
ments, are being told by smart talk
ers and willy circulatizers, that the
Liberty bonds pay too little interest
They are informed that they can swap
them off for securities sure to pay
very large interest and yet have their
capital perfectly safe. These golden
dreams are enticing q great many
people.
Those who are not familiar with in
vestments should realize two facts:-
There is an organized effort OF
dishonest promoters to issue securities
of either worthless or very doubtful
value, and exchange them for Liberty
bonds.
IA great many visionary and un-
practical people, who may be honest
but have never made success of any
thing yet, will try to get hold of some
of this money, to put into their wild
cat speculations.
A vast amount Of this Liberty bond
money is going to be lost in these
schemes and projects. This will be a
damage to the country, because every
dollar of existing capital is needed for
the development of legitimate enter
prises.
Of course it is not true that all new
enterprises are either fraudulent or
dangerous. A great many Of them are
sound, and should have financial back
ing so that the country can be devel-
'oped. But in the main these should
be left to the bankers an business
men accustomed to dealing with this
class of propositions. Small investors
with little financial experience do well
to hang on to their Liberty bonds.

THEY BEAT 1T

In our exurberanee Saturday over
the arrival of the soldiers at Joplin,
we overlooked an item concerning the
entry Of some thieves to the Polster
Brothers department store on Friday
night, the same night that an entry
was made to the 0'Connell & Mcclure
grocery store.
The entrance at the POlster store
was made thru the basement route
and from there the parties raised q
trap door and gained entrance to the
store. They no doubt knew, or could
see, that the store was arranged with
burglar alarm wires, and to make a
kuick escape, If needs be, they opened
the back door, which was also set
with the wires, and the burglar alarm
started. There was not an item missed
in the store, Of course, for the fellows
must have made an unusual hasty re-
treat.

HOW GOOD WAS THE ARMY

Returning soldiers are giving quite
different opinions in regard to the
level of military efficiency which the
United States army attained in the
recent fighting. The popular impress
sion Is that it was the best army over
there. The feeling of lot of people
is that the American army was pref
ty nearly the whole show, until they
are reminded that the French and
English each lost about 5000 men,
compared to one tenth that number
from the American forces.
Other soldiers take the position
that while the United States army
was on the way to make very won
derful force, its inexperience was so
great that it lost far too many men
for the operations conducted. They
point to the many young officers who
after but a short training were made
majors and colonels. They had had
no adequate experience in handling
such large bodies Of troops.
Il is the opinion of some whose
Judgment is entitled to respect, that
at the time of the armistice the Am
erican army had not reached the mill
tary efficiency of any of the Euro
pean forces. As it had been in the
line so short a time, it would, be al
most incredible if it did equal these
seasoned veterans who had seen years
Of fighting.
To this the other point Of view re-
plies that at any rate the American
boys went in and took their detectives,
The heavy losses may be defended on
the ground that quick offensive cam
paign Of this kind Is often less cost
