Bnby Hercules Nnbs Thief; !;
Extra Cookie Is His ReUnrd
In the Fray the Mighty Right Arm of the Three
Year-Old SsStrongman'' Brings Down Sire, Grand
sire and Polceman-Al Top of Intruder

The infant Hercules may have fas-
tened deadlock on serpent at an
early age, but consider the more mod
ern and noteworthy case of Charles
Reynolds Sd, who by the might of his
good three-year-old arm brought an al
legged burglar crashing to earth at 1872
Second Avenue yesterday.
A conscientious chronicler must go
even further. Charles 3d.. on wading
into the fray also dragged his own
father, Charles Reynolds I'd, a police
man, who fortunately fell on top of the
intruder, and with the aid of the senior
partner in the Charles Reynolds Bur-
glar Subduing Corporation, Charles 1st,
grandfather of Charles Sd. overcame
his opponent and took him into Gus
tody.
After the fight was over it required
the combined efforts of sire and grand
sire to detach Charles Sd, who was
clinging like blue-rompered barnacle
to the leg of his quarry.
Charles I'd took Charles Sd to 1872
Second Avenue to see grandpa and
Charles Sd wandered, cookie in hand,
out into the hallway. and, filled with
the spirit of adventure, started the
perilous climb to the floor above.

q minute later he came back, tobog-
gaming downstairs on his stomach and
rushing into the apartment to inform
the two other Charleys that a man
was trying to open door on the next
landing.
Charles I'd tip-toed out into the hall
way and began to ascend the stairs.
Behind him, though he did not know it,
came Charles 3D.. 1t was his case and
he was determined to be cheated out
of nothing.
When he had finally toiled up the
flight, he came upon the tableau of

Charles Sd hadn't the slightest under
standing.
When the blond young man bumped
his parents head against the door, how
ever, that was too much for Charles
Sd to endure.
That's my papa" he proclaimed
shrilly, and cleared decks for action.

Legs were weaving back and forth
so rapidly that Charles Sd had no

though from his position he was un-
able to determine what.
Charles 1st came upon the scene to
find his son fastening his grip upon

grandson clung steadfastly to thrash

Reynolds family was too much for the
mamie surrendered.

to let go the captive was taken to the
lineup at headquarters and then to

The prisoner gave his name as John
Beckman, and said he lived at the Bel

men. in the elbow. William Rutan. who
did the shooting, was arrested, charged
with felonious assault.
: The friction between officers, sailors
and longshoremen is due to the efforts
of the Customs Guard to prevent the
smuggling of whisky into the country
from the Morro Castle. These efforts
came close to causing a riot Tuesday
night, when the officers arrested three
men for having whisky in their pos
session, and had to hold off mob with
their revolvers until police reserves
arrived
These men were arraigned yesterday
before United States Commissioner
Hitchcock, and were held in 5000 bail
each for the grand jury. They said
they were William Brown, a longshore-
man, and Antonio 'Lendox and Leopold
Freza, sailors on the MORO Castle
Yesterday the customs officials re-
ceived anonymous telephone calls tell
ing them: Get out, or We'll get you"

Good morning!
This is March IL!
The weather today will
probably be fair.
Almost every day
during the recent
terrible war

the newspapers chronicled the in
ventions of new weapons, batteries,
aeroplanes and destructive boats.
1t is equally true that the neces-
sites of war led to the production
of substitutes for leather, substi-
tute fabrics for clothing and for
mems and women's dress.
All sorts of spurious materials
were put upon the market to meet
the demand for cheapened arti-
cles.
We kept strictly to our stand
ards and missed the sales of
quantities of merchandise, pre-
ferring to lose easily made profits
on low-priced goods which people
wanted, believing that this would
not turn out satisfactorily.
1t was hard to hear people say:
1--WE have not the money for
usual qualities, and must get
something for the money we
have in hand.'
But conditions are slowly chang
ing, and we urge people not to
waste good money on inferior
stuffs, which cannot possibly give
proper service because of in
gradients used in the manufactur-
ing. This is a fortihcation of
honorable trade and commerce. and
upon our flags is "Invicta" for our
motto.

MANY OFFERS OF MARRIAGE

as Barre was concerned, was at an
end.
Queen City made their only score in
the ninth. Green was out, Calderara to
Wright Bennette shot, one through
short, and followed it by clean steal
on the next ball pitched. The same at
tempt, to purloin the sack at the hot
corner, though, met with retirement,
Comolli to Davidson. Richie was safe
at first, when his grounder took a
mean hop past Calderara, and he scored
when Gotta singled to deep center and
Bottiggi threw wild to the plate to
catch him. j. DOME, last man up,
struck out, leaving Gotta perched on
second.
Barre would have scored in the sec
ond inning, but for quick work on
the part of their opponents. The bases
had been filled by a double, man hit
by ball, and an error, and there was
one out. Beaton smashed liner to
the pitcher, who threw to the catcher,
forcing out the man from third, the
catcher relayed it to first in time to
catch the batter, retiring the side at
the same time.

The Coal Settlement.

The settlement for the present OF
the coal question must be a great re-
lief to the allies, who can have had no
relish for the prospect of invading Ger
many at time when popular unrest
there is so great and when the soviet
have Just won a decisive victory in
eastern Europe. In the final terms IL is
made clear that the arrangement Is
merely a modus vivendi TO avert the
coal famine with which Europe is
threatened. BY October Is Germany is
10 deliver 100000 tons of coal, which
will be credited to the indemnity, and
to stimulate production fair arrange
ment is made in regard to price which
will give Germany 100000 for the
purchase of food.
The Germans also escape the wholly
indefensible demand that they sign a
clause permitting the deeper occups
ton of German territory in case they
fail to deliver the stipulated 100000
tons of coal Such a demand Is in
defensible because il is in contraven-
ton of the treaty Of Versailles, which
precisely defines the limits of oceupa
ton. A similar demand was put for
ward by the allies last winter just as
the exchange of ratificstions was TO
take place, and the German peace dele
cation refused to accept this change
in the treaty. In the present case they
have shown equal frmness, and were
able TO show that the preamble of the
protocol did not state the truth in de-
claring this decision to have been tax
en- in common accord by the German
and entente delegations.
The offending clause was therefore
dropped below the signature which
means that the allies maintain the
threat of invasion but that II has no
more legal sanction than it had be-
fore. No extorted agreement, indeed,
could give a legal sanction that would
be worth much; if the allies in the iu-
ture elect to occupy German territory
II will be a hostile act, 10 be resisted
or not according 10 the ability OF Ger
many TO offer resistance. II should not
be forgotten that the treaty Of Yer
.siII.s binds the allies as well as Ger
many. and that the present status is
one of peace.-springheld Republican

oUIJA BOARD, SLEUTH
Is Being Used By Many to Solve the
.Elwell Murder.

New York, July 26.-Ouija boards by
the score have volunteered to solve the
mysterious murder of Joseph Bowen
Elwell, thurman, card expert and Don
Juan"
Since the body of the gambler was
found in his handsome residence here
last month, with bullet through the
forehead, alleged clues, motives and
revelations of the murderer himself
have been gathered from ethereal
planes by the thousands and dumped
upon an admittedly bewildered staff OF
the district attorneys Office.
All of these occult communications
are not discarded. While disclaiming
any faith in ouija's ability as crime
investigator, the district attorney new
ertheless admits that he has assigned
a man TO the special duty of reading
occult contributions and TO submit to
him personally any conveying appa-
rently useful information. An anony.
nous communication purPorting to be
an occult revelation may contain val
liable clue, Mr.. Swami believes, his the
ory, being that the criminal might use
this method of informing on a con-
federste.
Anonymous COMMITMENTS purport
to reveal prelude, plot and climax Of
the crime.
Until the murderer is apprehended,
both the police and district attorneys
staff say they expect no surcease from
the persistent profigacy of occult as
sistance now being forced on them.
