NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

readers, and now I wish you
would settle this argument between
my girl friend and myself.
We are both girls of twenty, and
talking of different things, we
came on this subject: Should fell

him there? or course, this girl has
gone with him many other places,
and has known him for about
year.

the second floor in A row, then
why should he go and spend money
for the first floor? One can see

better than downstairs in one OF the
back seats, and can, indeed, hear as
we'll"
She says that a fellow shows no
respect for the girl when he takes
her upstairs and Just asks her to
60 with him for the sake Of passing
his time away.
It was left for you to decide which

Girls your age are very apt to
make arbitrary rules for all mat
ters of conduct, when, as a mat

thing, after all, depends upon the
motive back of the deed and as

thing were done with the inten-
tion to slight, your friend would
be right, but how far-fetched that
would seem-the thought that a
bow would ask a girl to the the
ater in order to belittle her.
Every night in the year in every
theater in every city, thousands
upon thousands of people sit in
balcony and gallery seats. You'll
find Just as nice people (some-
times more interesting ones) up
stairs as you will down. Every
one cannot sit downstairs or the
actors would starve and the the

has been made in the New York

FOUR YOUTHS HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE
Bullet Taken From Body oi
HoId-Up Victim Is Clue
Against Prisoners
FACED MINOR COMPLAINTS

Four youths will be arraigncd this
afternoon before Magistrate Carson at
City Hall on charges of having been
concerned in the murder of Nichola
Ostab, Of Newark, y. j., on tn night Of
May 81.
Two Of the youths were arrested orig
inally for having been concerned in the
hold-up of Miss Tessie Banks. 1921 Mt.
Vernon street. and Joseph Marshall. of
Montgomery county, who was escorting
her home on the night of July 6. Four
men in an automobile held them up.
City detectives following in car heard
the woman $ screams, pursued the auto
mobile and finally overlook it. Two
men escaped. Thomas McHale. aged
seventeen. Thompson street near Eight
eenth. and John Il. Murray, aged twcn-
ty one. Carlisle street near Poplar.
were arrested. A revolver was found
on Murray, and he was charged with
highway robbery and held without bail.
Accused of Auto Theft
John Donohue, Ingersol street near
Eighteenth, was arrested July 9: James
Mlaugh, Capitol street near Popular.
July II. and both were charged with
the theft of an auto.
On May 81 Ostab was walking with
q girl on College avenue near Twenty
third, when a gang Of men told him to
throw up his hands. He was a for
eigner, and not understanding them
readily, was slow in obeying. He was
shot and killed.
Detectives studying the weapon said
to have been found in Murray's pos
session saw similarity between its
bullets and the one extracted from
Ostab's body.
The bullets seemed so much alike. de =
tectiyes thought it might be worth while
quizzing all four men. This was done
and all except Murray, the police say,
confessed to having been in both rob
berries. All four denied knowing who
fired the fatal shot
