On Tuesday afternoon Krieger was
larraigned before Judge Slater in the

gan following investigation of re-
port that Patrolman Charles Amber

evening and had there been offered a
drink by Herman Krieger. 1t is
claimed that Patrolman Torboss took

George Sullivan, prominent automo-
bile dealer, was bound over to the
circuit court for trial on a charge of
grand larceny following a preliminary
hearing in municipal court today
Sullivan was arrested for the theft of
the North Shore mail box from in
front of the Madden home on the
night of August "a.
Judge John c. Slater, who presided
at the hearing, expressed doubt of the
ability of the state to make the grand
larceny charge stand in the higher
court. The mail box, which is a re-
plica of the North Shore buses which
run by, the farm, was valued by Mr..
Madden at $25. The box was the
handiwork of John, Jr., aged Is, and
according to the family, had caused
much comment from motorists who
used the road.
Two machines, which had stopped
in front of their home to make tire
repair, awakened Mr.. and Mrs. Mad
den on the night in question. After
one of the cars had left, Mrs. Madden
heard noise which sounded like nails
being pulled from post. When
the second machine left she ran
down and looked at the post and
discovered the theft.
/ Gets Buss Driver on Phone.
Mr. Madden Immediately called the
sherffs office, and by accident got
connected with Edward C. Parker,
driver of one of the North Shore
buses, who had passed the place
while the cars were stopped in front.
He Immediately jumped into a touring
car and drove to the edge of town
where he picked up officer Paul
Callahan
They waited for the arrival of the
"blue Jordan" which Sullivan was
driving, and in the rear of the car
found the missing mail box. Sullivan
at first denied al knowledge of how
the box got into his car. He told
the police at headquarters that "he
could not have been more surprised
had the officer pulled baby elephant
out of his car"
| An investigation was started by the
district attorney. Edward Brotski, a
factory hand who had been riding
with Sullivan at the time, was called
in and made the admission, upon
which a warrant for Sullivan's arrest
was issued.
Brotski Takes Stand.
Edward Brotski, 514 Pleasant street,
the first witness called by the state,
testified that he was with George
Sullivan on the night of August "a,
when the mail box was taken from it's
post in front of the Madden farm.

Shanghai--The liner Empress of
Australia which remained in the zone
of the Japanese disaster for nine days
before she took 200 foreign refugees
to Kobe, was part Of scene in Yoko-
hama harbor that might have illustrat-
ed canto from Dante's inferno.
Passengers arriving in Shanghai on
the Empress of Canada are describing
the plight of the other liner.
A few hours after the first great
earthquake the Yokohama water front
was huge torch. Flaming oil and
burning sampans had made the harbor
a Dantean sea of fire. The ship hover
ing perilously close to the wharf, was
surrounded by narrowing circle of
fire that seemed about to enkindle.
Demon Fates Kind.
But the demon fates that overwhelm-
ed Yokohama were kind to her and
she was lowed out of danger, to return
to the region of ruin when the fires
had burned out, saved by the GOODNESS
of her officers, Leroy Petty, formerly
manager Of Shanghai hotel, and S. F..
Murphy Jr., representative for San
Francisco manufacturer of scientific
instruments, detailed a primitive dra-
ma that accompanied the cataclysm, of
the elements. Petty and Murphy said
the officers and crew of the Empress
of Australia armed with revolvers shot
several japanese hooters attacking de-
fenseless foreigners. Weapons were
taken to the foreigners left ashore
that they might protect themselves.
In describing their experiences the
two survivors said the Yokohama po-
lice, on duty continuously without
water or food, finally became discour-
aged and deserted the city, leaving it
at the mercy of a ruthless mob of
crazed plunderers. All bodies of for
eigners salvaged from the wreckage,
recalled Petty and Murphy, had fingers
hacked off and ears torn where ghouls
had stolen jewelry. When the Japan
csc naval squadron arrived, this city
of the dead, the dying and the ghome-
less was in chaos.
Foreigner Shot by Police.
81 saw one foreigner Shot in the back
by a Japanese policeman" said Petty,
when the foreigner stopped to pull a
body from the ruins. There were nu-
merous similar cases and some instan-
ces where whole parties of foreigners
were fired on" Petty was standing on
the principal dock at the time Of the
first shock He estimated $50 Japan
csc and so foreigners persisted when
the center of the dock collapsed. He
happened to be on a small concrete
section which escaped.

One day Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy
said to Uncle Wiggily:
81 m just going to run over and

"All right" answered the bunny
rabbit gentleman with funny little
twinkle of his pink nose, "run

And so he had. For earlier in the
day, when Uncle Wiggily was hop
ing across the snow covered field
to see his friend Grandfather Coos
ev Gander, the rabbit gentleman
got stuck in snow drift and they
had to send for Mr.. Whitcwash, the
polar bear gentleman, to pull Uncle
Wiggily out.
"I had adventures enough for
one day." chucklcd Uncle Wiggily as
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, bis musk
rat lady housekcepcr, started for
the pig iady's house. "I'l just
stay in my cozy hollow stump bun

Uncle Wiggily sat down in his
easy chair to wait. The clock went

"Well, Nurse Jane is staying q

So Uncle Wiggily began putting
The plates, knives and forks and

he sat down in his easy chair again
to wait and the clock went tick

Pretty soon, after a while, not
so very long, the bunny rabbit said
to himself:
"Well, Nurse Jane is staying
much longer than thought she
would. Even if she comes now she
will be late with tea unless help
some more. III put the kettle on
the stove to boil, so she can wet the

SO Uncle Wiggily put the kettle
full of water on the stove and then
he took the cork out of a bottle of
maple syrup, for Nurse Jane had
told him he was to have carrot pud-
ding with maple syrup on that even
ing, and he wanted to get ready for
it.
Again Uncle Wiggily sat down in
his easy chair by the stove and the

In justification of the experimenting, intelligence

authority the subject declares that research
is the greatest need in education today.
Here's city board of education spending S13,000,

that the finished product of this educational factory
the child-s up to a certain standard?
IF YOU owned factory with AN operating budget
of S13000,000 year. you'd certainly have Inspectors
to that the product up to standard and in adj
dton you'd have inventors and research at work
in effort to lower production costs and to improve
output"
Ii education is to enable human beings to live their
lives happily and satisfactorily, it needs to be
studied and improved in methods, in keeping with
changes and needs of civilization. This is day in
which business sense and efficiency are highly re-
garded. perhaps the best way to advance education
al matters is to look at them from business stand

:, Three members of the German Green Police it
says, sentenced to death tor the shooting of Bel

Naturally that enrages Germans. They see such

AS for the Begians and French this sort of thing is
doubtless lamentabe from the viewpoint of Christian

nature, it is natural and perhaps inevitable The
French and Begians are in Germany for retrbution
much as reparation.
