The scripture lesson from which Mrs La Nance took her text Sunday morning, is the Magma -Charta that has been the great urge to the women of Hhe w. c. T. U. "Eevery place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon that have I given you" and they had the Faith, like Wesley, to say "The world s my parish" and nothing short of that extensive program will satisfy; for ern't there women and children all over this globe needing the protecting care that comes from the annihilation of the liquor traffic?

 It was when Blakley said farewell to his gray-haired wife and their six children, ranging in age from one to 10 years, that he cried The grim walls of the Oklahoma penitentiary have long been silent witnesses to many tragic heartache, but it is doubtful whether their stony stare was ever more closely moved to tears than on Sunday after noon. Blakley took his little brood, one by one, affectionately patted them on the head, hugged and kissed them and then walked back to his death cell.
 As the oldest child, with wavy hair and tear-dimmed eyes advanced to BlakeIy for the final touch of his quiv- ering hands, the condemned, who here tofOre refused to show the slighta5 5t semblance of remorse for his crime ap- reared to pause. Then, too, the little girl seemed to hesitate.

sI25,OOO Stolen
Bonds Recovered:
2 Youths Confess
Messenger. l8, and Accom-,
plice Give Up Loot Taken
From I'll. C. Duval & Co. !
Aid Hunt for Third Man

Bonds and other negotiable securities
valued at sTa5;0oo and stolen from H.
G Duval &Co., of "a Broadway, on
April sc, were recovered yesterday by
Detectives Fleming, Kalbfeisch and
Carter, of the Old Slip Station. Two
nen were. arrested In connection with
the theft. They were held in $4,000
bail sach for further examination and,
according TO Assistant District Attor-
ney Sabbstino, are aiding the police in
hunting third man involved
The bonds, the police say, were OBJ
tanned by messenger who presented a
certified check for 100000 signed, by
H. G. Duval & Co. and presented to
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
A tip reached the police that man
could throw some light on the disap-
pearance of the bonds could be reached
in East Orange, n. j., last Friday.
Acting on this information the police
arrested Jack Silver, twenty-one years
old, of AIT Pennsylvania Avenue, Brook
iyn, and Louis Levine, a messenger,
eighteen years old, of SOC Vermont
Street, Brooklyn.
Silver, the police say, admitted hav-
ing had the bonds and said that he
burned them in Van Cortlandt Park.
He was taken to the park and asked TO
point out the place where the burning
took place. This he could do, and then
he acknowledged that he had left the
bonds IN a package in q downtown Of
fee. The police took him to the office
and the bonds were found untouched.
When Silver was taken to the Tombs
Court II. C. Duval was also there. To
Magistrate Rosenblatt he said:
81 believe this young man was sorely
tempted and fell. His conscience
pricked him and we have recovered all
of our securities. l am inclined to be
lenient. We know little about Silver.
The police have done good, quick work
in this case"
Silver, who was we'll dressed, re-
quested the police TO withhold news Of
mis- arrest from his parents.
In asking bail of $4,000 in each case
Mr. Sabbitino told the court that both
Levine and Silver were working with
the police in an effort to catch third
man
