Taken to Court, and They
All We're Fined

Nine thousand shivcring tenants of
unheatcd flats and apartments in the
greater city have appealed to the

sanitary code was amended to compel
landlords to maintain temperature of
81 degrees in all buildings used for

DR.. Copeland, were arrested and con-
victcd in the magistrates courts. One
was fined $50, another $l00 and the
third $3.50. The fellow who was fined
$3.50 appealed to the Court of Special

conviction was affirmed and he paid
the fine.

AU-W oman Newspaper

A TLANTIC CITY, N. j., March 81.
IN After a trial of eight months the

edited managed and printed entirely
by women has proved failure, and
1T was announced to-day that the
next issue of "The Evening Union"
which is owned by Governor Edge,
would come cut under the guidance

For the past eight months the cdi-

the paper were composed entirely of
college women. The chief cause of
the failure of the experiment is said
to be to 'hc fact that the fair cdi-

NHE worlds highest salaried check
boy IS about to be set up in business.
lie Will be a Sl,65U-per year New
York City patrolman, who to-day will
begin his important services of receiv-
ing the hats and coats of the clerical
force in Room 208 at Police Headuuar-
ters.
Commissioner Enright is sponsor for
the idea.
At any rate. the S1,65O-per year pa
trolman will be there to guard the best
interests of the coats and hats of the
clerical force of Police Headuuarters
The March burglary statistics should
be sufficient to convince any fair
minded person that not hat or coat in
Manhattan is any more safe for de-
mocracy.
Force of habit may lead to some in

trolman is accustomed to receiving
dimes for professional favor.
Commissioner Enrght also has rugged
out another room where inspectors and
captains, who have occasion to visit
headquarters on official business, may
change from civilian attire into their
uniforms. This room will have lockers
where the police officers may keep their
clothes. This will eliminate the habit
of police captains appearing at head
quarters with a patrolman in tow car
rying bundles and suit cases that the
the captain might appear before his su-
periors according to the rules, and in
full regalia.
