WHAT EDITORS THINK
FINDING FAULT

What a drcary, proftless thing it is to have to
listen to recount the shortcomings OF oth-
ers. And how often are we called upon to endure
But why do we listen? ~,
Time spent in this manner is not only wasted,
but it is positively injurious. Stories of this kind
poison our minds, destroying not only confidence
in others but in ourselves. No man can do his bes:
work with his mind filled with bad thoughts OF
others. .
There are times when it doesn't pay to be polite.
Nothing is to be gained by being polite to the man
who comes with harmful story of another. Tell
him to get out, and stay out. 49,
You can justify in this by the knowledge that if
he will talk to you about others he will talk to
others about you.--Akely Tribune.

Fireman Leaps Gap Of Z Feet;
Saves 4 Women From Blaze

Fireman John Gildersleeve, Of En-
CINE Company 239, Fourth Avenue and
Seventh Street, Brooklyn. went home
to supper last night and was on his
way back to quarters when he heard
woman screaming "Fire!" at Fourth
Avenue and Twelfth Street.
The woman. Mrs. Florence Scott, was
standing on the second floor fire escape
of a three story house at 292 Fourth
Avenue, one door from the corner of
Twelfth Street. She had her three
months child, Bruno, in >ier arms.
Smoke was pouring from the window
behind her. AS Gildersleeve watched
she held the baby at arms length as
though to drop him.
"Hey!" yelled Gildersleeve in a tone
which drowned Mrs. Scotti's screams,
"don't do that. Stand where you are!"
He vaulted the fence Of the corner
building, raced across the yard, hurd-
ling the fence of the yard belonging to
the building where Mrs. Scotti stood.
He looked up. The extension ladder
was hanging from the third floor bal
cony. above Mrs. Scotti's head.
Calling to her to stay where she was,
Gildersleeve jumped the fence again
and darted into the corner building,
zee Fourth Avenue. He emerged on
the second floor fire escape. 1t l. more

Lawyer Convict Pleads
Own Case i'm Court Here
Ferguson, Sent to Sing Sing for
Anarchy, Asks Certificate
of Reasonable Doubt

Isaac E. Ferguson, formerly a Chi
cago lawyer, was brought here from
Sing Sing yesterday and personally
argued before Judge Cardozo, of the
Court of Appeals, for certificate Of
reasonable doubt in connection with his
conviction in 1920 on a charge of Grim
inal anarchy Although Ferguson is
serving term of five to ten years, he
is appealing from his conviction, and
wants to be liberated on bail while this
appeal is pending.
Judge Cardozo reserved decision on
the application of the convicted man,
with whose argument he seemed i'm
pressed. John Caldwell Myers, Assist
ant District Attorney. said ne would be
satisfied with moderate bail bond for
Ferguson, in case the former attorney
was successful in his quest for GER
tifcate.
1t was the contention of Ferguson
that the late Justice Weeks, before
whom he was tried and convicted, ere
ated an impression prejudicial to his
case with regard to an Interpretation
of the law against criminal anarchy.
Ferguson was a member of the commit
tee on program and manifesto Of the
Communist party, but argued that 1T
was not his committee that published
the party manifesto, which contained
the words: "It is not our purpose to
capture the state, but to conquer and
destroy it."
Ferguson disclaimcd ell connection
with this publication, yet he was con-
victed for it.

ing balcony on 292 Fourth Avenue and
is separated from it by gap OF seven
feet.
Gildersleeve made the leap. Lower
ing the extension ladder, he carried
Mrs. Scott and her child to The yard.
Then he ran up again for Mrs. Abbie
Davis, who was in Mysteries on the
third floor balcony. She is heavy
woman, and when Gildersleeve reached
her she absolutely refused to go down
the ladder. Gildersleeve helped her to
the roof.
Mary Farrell, who had tried to cs-
cape by way of the stairs and was al
most overcome by smoke, was lying on
the third floor fire escape, and Glider
sleeve returned for her. AS he stopped
to raise her he saw another woman
lying across the window sill.
He came back for her. She was Mrs.
Mary Mckee, who was taking a bath
when the fire broke out and was over
come by smoke when she stopped to
put on her clothes. Gildersleeve car
ried her to the roof and passed her to
Fireman Frank Quigley, who FASTENED
to the roof as soon as he had sent an
alarm.
The FIRE burned out the rear apart
ments of 300 and 292 Fourth Avenue,
causing several thousand dollars dam

can. In corroboration of his statemesas
he exhibited in his suite at the Hotel
Ambassador yesterday a series of fairy
photographs, rcmarking:
81 do not know what to make of this
But there you are | give you my word
they are genuine"
The central figure in each of the
photographs is little girl. Floating
around her neck and shoulders are ex-
quisite butterfly figures, the traditional
"elhns of the woods" described by
Shakespeare. Gossamer wings and
trailing draperies float from their
midget forms. They have perfect
playing the pipes of Pan. In one of the
photographs a puckish goblin is whim-
sically pcrchcd on the hand of the
little girl.
Children Snap Little People?
Far fetched and unreal as the fantasy
seems, Sir Arthur vouched for the au-
thenticity of the photographs and told
in detail how they were secured.
Al. IL

with fairies. He was an electrician,
hard-headed and dependable, according
to Sir Arthur. When the children told
of their contact with the little people
of the woods he laughed and bought

to give him proof. Within short time
the children were back, and the picture.

ing round the form of the girl, who
was photographed by her sister. Sent
out another time, they came in with a
picture of the goblin, Sir Arthur said.
Every one thought this this fake. fake, Of 2,
got hold of the plates and gave them
to an expert photographer. They were
the first photos ever taken by these
children. We had them enlarged. The
photographer said they were genuine.
There was no trace of super-imposition
or any other freak trick of the camera.
'In 1920 we got these children to-
gether again. They were older now.
They obtained three pictures of the
fairies which stood every test we could
apply. The photographer said the
fairies were in rapid motion when
snapped.
Couldn't Get Results Alone
"Curiously enough, one child was use
less without the other. They needed to
be together to produce results. This is
often the way with mediums. They
must work in pairs before they can
form the desired atmosphere. My
theory is that these children were
highly endowed psychically. Theirs is

passed sentence on Mahoney as fol-

"It shall be your punishment to
empty each and every bottle separately
into hathtub. The plug must be in

whether there 10 any par value on this
stock and do you believe it a good stock +?
Also the Beech-Nut stock selling at about

above two stocks 1 was considering, but
have been very much interested in maxi

per cent Wondered if 1t were within
your means to advise to either choice
--R. X. II.
Answer-Eastman Kodak common is
without par value, although in the re-
cent exchange of ten shares of new
stock for one share of old it was given
a theoretical par value of $40 a share.
1t pays So a year at present and is a
fairly good investment for a business
man. Beech-Nut Packing common does
not receive dividend at present, but
dividends in the past have been large,
being as high as 81 per cent in 1915,
go per cent in 1916 and 81 per cent In
1917. A stock dividend of 500 per cent
was paid in 1913 and one Of 400 per cent
this year. Irregularity of dividends
however, gives this, stock an element or
speculation that makes it suitable only
for one in a position to assume the
risks involved. The stock is the same
that was traded in on the Curb Market
before Icing listed on the New York
Exchange. American Woolen preferred
and Brooklyn Edison are both fairly
good investment securities, the former
ranking slightly higher.
