NEW YORK, June 12.-Because
his partner talked in his sleep, Ru-
dolph Dressler, a New York pick
pocket, was sentenced to Sing Sirg
for FIVE years by Judge Mott in Cen

another deft-fnger person, some
years of his liberty when he comes
up for sentence next week, as the re-
suit of visit paid to the prosecutor
by Durgwart's very pretty little
bride. She came to see Judge Swami

confessions one night by telling his
helpmeet about having stolen $1,000
from a man whom he and his partner
found asleep in a subway station.
Just at that time Detective Rayens
was looking for the thief or thieves
who had helped themselves to the
life savings, amounting to $1,000, of
John Schcstic, gardner, employed
by Charles Dillingham;, the theatri-
cal man. Schestic said that he had
fallen asleep in the subway station
and when he awoke the money was
gone.
Detective Ravens questioned Durg-
wart, who denied he had done what
his wife said he had, but he broke
down when the detective discovered
that he had deposited 1900 in a
bank the day after Schestic was rob-
bed. In a confession he implicated
Dressler. The $1,000 was returned
to Schestic and Dressler likewise
made restitution.

Keep Smiling
And Go to Picnics

| NE WYORK, June t2.-(United
Press. Henry j. Allen, Governor
Of Kansas when in New York well
coming the Kansas troops, was asked
what he thought of the job of being
Governor
II shouldn't advise a young man
to take it on as an attractive and
easy occupation" he said. "The job
has not regular hours and is not, as
many believe, all indoor work. Be-
ing governor is the only employment
| ever attempted which made running
a newspaper (The Wichita Beacon)
seem like an easy sort of job. Yet at
the conclusion of my busiest days l
can't figure up where the governor
has earned his salary.
"The most heart-breaking things
about my job is that when a man goes
into it he takes it rather seriously.
Then he discovers that all a large
percent of the people expect of him
is to keep on a smiling front and go
to picnics. And when one committee
calls to invite you t6their picnic and
finds you're at another, the story is
started that the Governor is q CAD
about, never in his office"
Allen declared it is truly remark
able what some men will campaign in
all sorts of weather to get.
"The governors day begins with
the mall" he continued. "The let
tiers pertaining to state business are
easy. The crank letters are like dan
dilions-no matter how many you
dispose of there are still more. An
auto owner will write in fully con-
WINGED the Governor is implicated in
the increase of auto theft. A wife
will write that her husband came
home with liquor on his breath, and
what does the Governor intend to do
about it?
"Then, after the mail, comes the
rather serious business of explaining
to people how the Governor happen
ed to appoint others to office instead
of them. A governors life is one
constant struggle to secure effcien-
cy and yet maintain speaking ac-
quaintance with his political assist
ants.
"When matters pertaining to poll
tics are disposed of the Governor is
free to hear the first of the mornings
hearings. There are hearings and
hearings, on everything from por-
dons to management of university.
after four months of it the Gov
ernor has fully decided to go back
to the job he left, and has already be-
gun to build up an organization for
election"

Yank Mind Blank
Disappoints Three

NEW YORK, June IA strange
scene was enacted at the dock in Ho-
boken when the transport Mount
Vernon arrived with returning sol
diers from France, and man and a
woman stepped to the gang plank,
each bent on claiming a soldier who
nod been found wondering about the
streets of Paris, a victim of amnesia,
as a son.
The soldier had been listed on the
transports roll as "Roland Phillips"
Mrs. Roland Phillips, of Flushing,
Long Island, was waiting to see if he
was her son of the same name, who
had been reported killed in action.
She shook her head as the amnesia
victim came in sight and turned away
with tears in her eyes.
Rev. Malcolm James Mcleod, of
the Collegiate Reformed Church Of
st. Nicholas, and his daughter, were
hoping that Phillips" was in reality
his son, Blakeley Mcleod, who mys-
teriously disappeared from Camp
Mills last June. When phillips"
was taken to military hospital in
dazed condition he signed his name
"Blakeley," and his description tai
lied with that of the missing Mcleod
boy.
But the Rev. Mcleod, too, shook
his head and turned away to contin-
ue the search he has been making
ever since his son disappeared
A representative of Mrs. Emma
of Evanston, ILL.,, was also
at the pier, believing the amensia
victim was her son, but it was def
nitely established after the transport |
locked that his real name was Ro-
and Phillips, and that his home is at
523 North Seventh street, Evans
vile, Ind.

Iowa. A bill amending the quaran.

Spanish influenza" following dip

by the general assembly March 20.
was signed by the governor and be-
came effective by publication last
week
Guilford H. Sumner, secretary of
the state board of health, has issued
communications to city and county
health boards ordering them to take
steps at once to comply with the law
as amended.
During the epidemic of influenza
there was no authority for placing
strict quarantine upon homes or
flu" patients. The authorities pla-
carded all homes having Influenza
with warning signs, but were power
less to enforce quarantine. All that
could be done was to, advise people
to refrain from entering the place,
and appeal to the inmate, not to
expose other people to disease. -
With the imposing of an absolute
quarantine for the disease, the ply
stefan attending will have the re-
sponsibility Of determining whether
the patient has the flu in epidem-
ic form or is suffering from a cold
only.
Happily there is only little influ-
enZa in the state at this time. so the
new regulations will not result in
great hardship.

KEEP DRY RUN CLEAN.

The question of fixing Dry Run, so
as to prevent any more damage
from overflows, is now in the hands
of competent engineers. But
whether or not, the needed repairs
will be accomplished is still an open
question. 1t has been called to my
notice, and of course is we'll known
fact, that many of our residents con-
slider Dry Run good dumping
ground for their refuse and accumu-
latiOns about the homes, that they
are DESTROYS of getting rid Of quickly
and easily, and that is by dumping
it into the creek. This practice has
been going on for long time, and
and We believe that it is time for
thinking people to stop this practice.
The great cry has gone out to ''clean
out the creek" Yes, but how are we
going to accomplish this if residents
will persist in dumping refuse into
the creek bed. Much of this is done
after dark. Of course the ones doing
it feel that they were not detected,
and they at least got rid of their
ashes, rubbish, or whatever they
might want to dispose of.
Now I respectfully request those
people to refrain from using the
creek as a common dumping ground.
Let us all work together on this
question, get the creek cleaned out,
and keep it so. 1t is vital PROPOSE
tion and everybody should do their
share to help right this menace.
