CONFESSES BEING
JIMMY VALENTINE
expert Reveals His leadership
Over Dozen Crooks.

New York, May 21.-AbOut TO be
tried as a common thief, Il youth of
LWenty-three got UP i'll court here and
told the judge and jury thai he was
much more than HAT, to wit:
y million-dUIl Jimmy Valentine
of the highly expert type, and Incl
dentally Il leader III his profession,
having held undispue ed sway over L
gang of Il dozen crooks with whose
cooperation, he relieved safes in New
York financial district of $l,2OO,UOU
worth of cash, jeWelry and gilt-edge
securities.
The youth is Richard Armstrong, Il
Brooklynite, who with ten other
cracksmen, was arrested on April II
and ever since has sulkily stood pat
on his plea of not guilty to three
charges, until just after the jury had
been completed, he changed his plea
to guilty of third-degree burglary and
turned infOrmer against himself and
his brethren of the craft.
His story revealed him as one who
disdained the crude of the common
craftsman. Indeed, he boosted that
Of all the safes he has personally rob-
bed, not one was blown up. All We're
"Valentined" in highly refined fashion ::
as proof whereof Richard displayed
set of remarkably long, thin, why fin
gers with the tips Sandpapered to ra-
Zor sharp edges and the nails closely
clipped, all this to help make the fin
gers so sentative to touch that they
would feel the vibration of the tum-
blers within the safe as he worked
the combination.

CALLS PUBLIC THE SINNER"
doesn't Care For Workingman," Says
Labor Leader

Washington, May 21.-The general
public, this so-called innocent third
party" was arraigned as the only
wrong doer in industry" by Henry
Sterling, chairman of the legislative
committee of the American Federation
of Labor
He appeared before a senate sub
committee to oppose the POindeXter
anti-strike bill for railroads.
The proposed legislation was found
ed on the theory The public must not
be inconvenienced, must get everything
it wants right away" he said. H.
added:
Did it ever occur to you the pub
lie doesn't give Il d-n for the man
who works? The public is The one
great sinner in the industrial field. It
makes all the bad conditions. 1t is
positively criminal in its Indifference
"Children might work themselves to
death in The mills and the public
wouldn't care
"The public is the only wrong doer
in industry. The only party consider
ed in the conflict is this so-called in
nocent third party, while as soon as
we who work take some action for our
own welfare, they only want to put
US in Jail"
Mr.. Sterling said 'the idea any one
anywhere can tell a free born Ameri-
can to go to work or go to Jail is con-
trary to all concept of liberty"
The strike, he said, was 1.-The only
weapon working men have, and if they
thought this bill was going to pass,
our 4OOO,OO0 people would come down
here in such numbers the capital
couldn't hold them

WAR ON H. C. OF |.
FELT IN STOCKS
Large Selling Orders Followed
Restriction Of Credits.
LIMIT LOANS ON LUXJRIES
Reports of curtaiIment of Credit
Comes From All Sections-Food
Prices Still Soaring.

New York, May 21-The attack by
banks on high prices through credit re-
striction was reflected III the stock
market.
Commission houses with direct wire
connections to middle and southwest
ern points had large selling orders.
These were augmented by heavy offer
ings from local sources. The short ill
terests also helped to hasten the de-
cline.
A considerable part Of the further
reaction was believed To have result
ed from the more pressing needs of
merchants and other individuals who
found their credit impaired by the
vigorous methods adopted by the
banks at the earnest solicitation Of
the federal reserve board.
Bank officials received by mail and
telegraph messages from their CORES
pondents testifying to the rising tide
of the price-cutting movement A
prominent bank with extensive New
England connections minated BoS-
ton was reducing its loans, not only on
ers and textiles, but on coppers as
we'll.
Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and
smaller cities of the middle west
where industrial boOms were recorded
during the past few years, reported
to their New York correspondents fur
Their curtailment of credits and reduc-
ton of business activity were In pro-
greSS.
The head of a large local bank ex-
pressed the opinion financial condi-
tons throughout the country already
have been strengthened in consequence
of the price reduction made in many
lines Of merchandise. He believed the
movement might get beyond reason
able bounds and work unnecessary
hardship to small tradeSmen.
Banks applied pressure TO import
ers and merchants deaHng in luXuries
and nOn-essentialS.

lieved this action would effect dras-
tic curtailment in the trading opera
tons of such dealers, which would
necessarily be reflected in their sales
to extravagan+ consumers
Added impetus to the price reduc-
ton movement was given by the Ma
tional Association of Manufa cturers,
which closed its annual convention by
pledging IFS aid to "all sensible eff
forts 10 reduce the high cost Of living"
and urged its members to cooperate

This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When a doctor uses a medicine him
self besides prescribing it to his patients,
he must know that it has merit.
This is what DR.. ]. H. Wagner, a prom
inent physician Of Skate, Kentucky, has
to say about DR.. Hartman's well-known
remedy, PE-RU-NA: 81 have used Pc
RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given it to others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. It has
proved a success in all cases with old
and young men and women. All speak
well of PE-RU-NA. It is the best of all
tonics."
DR.. Wagner, out Of the fullness of his
own personal experience, for the good Of
all sick and suffering, recommends a
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-
yond a doubt of its value.
Whether your trouble be q cough or a
cold, or a more subtle catarrhal election
