BLOWN THROUGH vENTlLAToR.

The story of how fireman was
blown through a ventilator and land
ed on the deck unhurt was brought
to New York by a member of the
crew of the United States transport
Mount Vernon, which was damaged
by an enemy torpedo off the French
coast. ut was early in the morning
when we were attacked" said the
seaman. "The torpedo struck with
terrific force and 81 men were killed
outright. | shall never forget the
fireman who came out through the
curved ventilator. He came through
an opening which was so small |
could not have believed man could
go through it if I hadn't seen HIM
with my own eyes"

Gas Rate Higher {.

The New Jersey Nothern Gas
Company, supplying this city,
Stockton, Ringoes, Pennington
and other towns with gas, has
been denied by the Public Utility
Commission it's petition to raise
the price to S1.95 per 1000 cubic
feet, with a readiness to serve
charge of 40c., or a rate of S2.15
with readiness to serve charge
of Csc, as at present.
The company is permitted,
however, to raise its rate from
$1.55 to S1.75 per 1000 feet,
with the present readiness to
serve charge of Csc retained.
The conditions named, however,
are that the company accept
this rate as an emergency
measure, and agree to make i'm
provements and give better SER
vice.
It is expected that the COM
pany will accept the conditions
laid down by the commission as
the best can be hoped for at the
present time. One of the great
est complaints, locally, is that
none of the officers of the COM
pany live here or near here, and
all the burden Of complaint falls
upon local helpers, who are pow
erless to remedy conditions.

Mike Schwartz and his wife are
epicureans of the first order. Mike,
while delivering some goods, noticed
fine Roller canary in the home of
Paul Kaipust. Said Mike: my

Kajpust turned over the canary and
waited several weeks for the wood.
None came. She summoned Mike
before Judge Cummings to recover
the bird.
"What was the canary worth =

Fifteen dollars. He was fine

LIVES OF REAL CRIMINALS
Author Has Shown Up Careers o.
Enemies of Society Without the
Glamor of Fiction

Fictitious criminals are very IA
miliar. but in "a Book of Remarka-
bic Criminals" H. B. Irving, an
English writer, depicts with skill the
lives of real criminals. Crlmlnolo-
glsts will find material for slgnlh-
cant comparison in the varied ca
reers of these criminals and the av-
erage reader can hardly fail to be IN
terested.
The annals of crime in England,
France and America have been
searched for interesting cases.
The American reader will, how
ever, find but two familiar names |;
one of these is Holmes, whose cele-
brated castle" in Chicago is still
remembered, says the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican. Another Amer
ican of an entirely different type is
Professor Webster of Harvard uai-
yerslty. Perhaps the most J, ma =
able case is that e iarles Price,
the Englishman, 10 evidently was
born with criminal lnst4ncts.
A majority of the crimes related
appear to have been instigated by
necessity, the perpetrators being
forced to greater crimes IN an en-
deavor to conceal lesser ones.

FORMER CONVICT,
NOW MOVIE ACTOR
VISITS DUKE CITY
Al Jennings of Oklahoma
Spends Several Hours Here
on Way to Coast to Appear
in Screen Pictures.

AL Jennings, lawyer. former bandit,
bank robber, eX-convict and politician,
was an Albuquerque visitor yesterday.
While Mr. Jennings was delighted to
spend several hours in the Duke city,
his stay was not voluntary on his part.
He was a passenger on the California
limited and the train was held here
for several hours, owing to the wash
outs on the Santa Fe in Arizona.
Mr. Jennings was on his way to Los
Angeles. accompanied by three assist
ants, where he will play the leading
part in a series of movie films for the
Capital Film company. The first pic
ture in which he appeared was re-
loasedJuly IS. He is under contract to
appear in twenty-four pictures most
of them dealing with episodes in his
life.
Asked how he came to turn bandit,
Mr.. Jennings said he was practicing
law at I'll Reno several years ago. One
night a Santa Fe train was held up
and robbed at Norman. Okla. Not
withstanding the fact that he was not
within a hundred miles of Norman
when the holdup occurred, he was ac-
cused of the crime. The case was a
"frame-up," he said. but as soon as he
learned what was brewing he made
his escape. The next morning he went
TO a little country store in the Creek
nation to buy some cheese and crack
ers to satisfy his hunger. When he
came out of the store he mounted his
horse to ride away whe,. five or six
men whom he noticed on TIE porch Of

"TOUROMANIA" GRIPPING
THE UNITED STATES

Reports from every section of the
country showing the touring bee is
rampant, and even the remotest sec
tons that never boosted much auto
mobile touring report the arrival OF
scores of motor caravans
This is the gist of a report issued by
the national touring bureau of the
B. +. Goodrich Rubber company,
which says that the average citizen
who seldom before thought of long
tours is being seized with the aong
distance fever" It is an after-the war
relation-a desire for people to forget
the war and rest their work of rear
ranging business affairs to fit recon
struction needs held thousands of bus
inesa men to their work
The second big factor contributing
to the vast scope of motor travel is
that the hars of European travel are
still up. England and France have an
nounced that foreign visitors will not
be admitted probably until next year.
The Goodrich bureau has been
swamped with requests for state road
maps. They will give out nearly
100000 state highway maps this
year. This is almost the equivalent OF
one map to each and every car owner
in America were they distributed or
the basis of one state map to an auto
mobile owner. Requests have been
heavier than ever before by a wide
| margin, and have increased with each
week during the summer months. The
peak will probably be reached during
the latter part of August.
II is estimated that over rs per cent
of the cross country tours are made
| on improved roads, which represent q
! total of less than 20 per cent of the
| nations highway system. When the
| enormous appropriations for highways
| have been expended and the car own
er and motor truck operator is Offered
wider range of activity, utilization
| of the roads will amount to almost
| unbelievable proportions. Not only
| more improved roads but wider roads
will be needed to avoid congestion Of

one shot passed through his horse,
killing the animal, also punctured tbs
stirrup leather and lodged in Jen-
nings' left ankle. Jennings said he re-
turned the fire, killed two of the Of
ficers, and the others fled.
Jennings said he then rushed into
the store fired a shot at the proprieA
tor, but missed him, grabbed $3.50
out of the cash drawer and escaped,
THAT was the first crime | ever COM
mitted," he said. That night he joined
bandit gang. Five days later they
robbed a Katy train, and continued
their carnival of crime for some years.
once in Galveston he was attending
a fancy dress ball. At that time there
was Il reward of $40 900 hanging over
his head, The building in which the
ball was being held was surrounded
by officers. Jennings received a tip
of what was going on and managed to
escape, clad in his dress suit. He
made his way to the water front and
boarded the first steamer he came to,
which proved to be a tramp bound
for Honduras. But Jennings didn't
care. The only business before the
meeting then was to get away from
Galveston, He landed in Honduras,
where he met O. Henry, also a fugitive
from justice,
After spending some time in Hon
dmas, Jennings returned to Okla
homa and gave himself uD. He was
convicted of train robbery and SEN
fenced to serve a life term in the
penitentiary at Columbus, O. Presi-
dent Mckinley committed his term to
five years and President Roosevelt
granted him a pardon and restored
him to fun citizenship.

Jennings in discussing the circum-
stances leading IN to his conviction.
az was tried for II offenses, and

Jennings returned to Oklahoma and
Immediately entered politics. In 1911.
he was a candidate for district attor-
ney in Oklahoma county but was

was a candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination, but was defeated.
