denim War Laws

A~Ss
The National League for the De-
fence of Political Prisoners issued a
call yesterday to 10000 labor unions to
join in convention in Chicago, July
80 and 6, to demand the release Of
political prisoners and all suspension
of wartime legislation infringing upon

Raid Are Accused of Killing
Bartender i'm Hold.Up

The net spread by the police for the
men who held up and robbed a party of
Syrian diamond merchants Of $4,000
in Washington Street restaurant
Thursday afternoon. caught two men
yesterday who were accused of the
murder Of Patrick Mulhern, a bartender
killed in a saloon hold-up at 1851 Park
Avenue, May "a. The prisoners said
they were Alexander johnson, aged
twenty-four, Of 554 West Fifty fourth
Street, and Frank Flannigan, of 544
West Forty-third Street.
They were taken with six other men
in raid by detectives on a saloon at
1886 East Eighty-first Street. The raid
resulted from 3 confession, the police
said, given by Thomas Donahue,
who was arrested Immediately after
the diamond hold-up.
Donahue, the police say, stated that
a Syrian learned or the assembly of
the diamond merchants on certain DAYS
in the Washington Street restaurant
and communicated with Flanagan.
The latter. according to tho police, en-
listed johnson and two of the other
men arrested yesterday to carry out
the robbery. The six now held be-

"No hope for me to-day" chirped a
little OLD lady who spent hours in the
chapel twittering around like a spar
row, only to find that she could not be
treated before next Thursday.
"Amn't I going to be made we'll,
mammal" inquired q pale-faced boy
who was carried into the church in his
mothers arms.
eyes, darling, but we have to come
back again. The gentleman is too busy
to make you better to-day"
The number of organically diseased
people seeking treatment is on the in
crease. There was pathetic repetition
Of the previous days experience in the
number of creaking leather straps and
cruel iron cages binding the twisted
legs of small boys and girls And there
were plenty OF babies in arms-babies
whose eyes refuse to open and whose
spines are hopelessly curved
In the midst Of all this sickness and
suffering walked young man and girl
with two attendants. The chancel was
suddenly illuminated, and the dim re-
cesses of the chapel, with its pews of
praying men and women, were lit up.
Mr.. Hickson left his place in the chan
eel and continued his ministrations in
the nave
A minister took his place. and with
solemn intonation read the opening
lines of the wedding ceremony. The
man and girl were there to be mar
ried. The incongruity of taking the
nuptial VOWS in the midst of so much
suffering and sickness impressed itself
upon the onlooker. Forgetting their
own troubles, the lame. the feeble and
the trembling rose as best they could
and watched the ceremony with eager
eyes. Mr.. Hickson continued his quiet
ministrations without a break.
A letter has reached him from
youth in Boston telling of an absolute
cure effected by his treatment. The
young man was alytic-had not
walked for three years. He had scoffed
at the idea of going to the healer, but
a friend had persuaded him there
would be no harm. SO he went, and
had Mr.. Hickson's hands laid upon him
three times. There was no noticeable
change at the time. Now he writes
jubilantly he is cured and can walk as
we'll as any one

With high hope in her heart she went
out of the chapel, leaving her auditors
wondering if miracles were still pos
sible in the twentieth century-in New
York.
Nor was she the only one.
An aged, haggard looking woman
hurried down the aisle with an excited
air. Apparently she was suffering from
an irrepressible desire to tell some one
of the wonderful thing she believed had
happened to her.

much the same as on the two previous

Not all those who visited the chapel

Shells Help Oil GeoIocist.

The little jellylikc animals which

so abundantly in the sea that thel-
tiny cast-Off shells in some places
make up Il considerable part of the
sediments which are laid down on
the sen bottom and which in time
may become beds Of rock in land
area. The small size and the com
pactneSS Of these shells protect them
from some of the accidents that be-
fall the remains Of larger animals. so
that in many samples of well borincS
the FOraminiferl are the only SHELLS
that have survived in recognizable

Machine Shapes Masts.

A machine has been built which will
shape masts up to 100 feet in length
and three feet in diameter. The tim
Der is set up in the machine and re-
VOWED at speed of 30 revolutions a
minute, and it is shaped by a cutter
head which is electrically driven at the
rate of 700 revolutions a minute. This
cutter head is mounted on a carriage,
which is moved along the timber
against a rail set to give the proper
profile to the mast. Heretofore this
work has been done by hand and re-
quired skilled workmen. At best II
has been a slow and laborious task.
