 MAN IS HELD IN JAIL
Martin Wright, @, Hobbies Into Court But Plea of Guilty k
 Refused.

New York, April 2---Martin Wright 69 years old, and crippled from rheu- matism, wanted to plead guilty when arraigned before Judge Grice in New ark yesterday on a charge of shoot ing and killing Edward Hallock. a boarder, because he was unable to bear the friendship Of Hallock and his daughter. Mrs. Nina Egbert, who is separated from her husband. Wright also said Hallock was too friendly with Mrs. Wright.
 Since inc law does not permit a plea Of guilty to a capital crime, Wright was sent to jail, and his wife and daughter were held as material wit- nosses. Mrs Wright did not appear particularly upset, but her daughter, Mrs. Egbert. wept most Of the time. Asked if she had loved Hallock, slie said:
 'One kiss from him was worth more than a million from the hus- band the law gave me. He was my soul-husband. When he smiled the world was bright. We didn't have much. but VIC had each other"
 Wright shot Hailock while sitting in the wheel chair in which Inc has been spending most Of his time. He was able 10 leave the chair yesterday. and he hobblcd into court between two detectives. He said he was not at all sorry for what he had done. as it had been brewing for long time. :"

HARTFORD ELECTION

Even the ardent republican rep- rescntatives or members Of thc1epub- licsn state machine, with it's deep con- cern over the national election, does not hasten this morning to say that the election of Norman c. Stevens to the mayoralty in Hartford indicates any expression Of approval of re- pnblicanism as ''sho is spoke" today. To the outsider it looks as though Mir. Stevens election was the result Of three causes. First, an admirable young man was before the voters in q normally republican city, opposed 10 a popular man of greater cxpcri- ence but who. in the last analysis, represent tho strong municipal ma chine the methods of which were not approved by the majority.
 Mayor Kinscla's plan for the fifty seven voting precincts. thus making tho matter Of voting a simple one. brought out the vote yesterday Of many Of that normal republican ma iority who would not, perhaps, have gone to the trouble of registering their wishes by thc ballot had there been fewer precincts.
 And lastly it was quite evident. 10 one reading the newspapers Of Hart ford. that there was little enthusiasm for the Kinsclla administration in sup poscdly democratic press. This lack of enthusiasm indicated a "damnins with faint praise" which is often worse than no word at all. and had it's effect. The conventional support given Mir. Stevens had little effect. Of course.
 The independent in politics. is in- clfnrd 10 feel that in the dcfuat Of strictly orga nizatiou man at lime rhcn thc organization has become so strong that it fccls itself above the u"ccs sity of always doing inc best taiug for he prnplr. and in inc clec- iion of r,putcdly good man moi as yrt tainted 1y too strong association with Inc state machine. may be ra- 'hcr good thing for inc people of Hart ford prD, idcd h" 1ors not allow thUac rcUr..se ntativ"s of tho state ma chin" fp 1ictatc his c9urac.

 Wants to go Back Again.

New York, April a.---There is a movement on foot to doport Eric Her viz. He, too, subscribes to it. He wants to be in Copenhagen; that's where his mother is.
 Eric is lS years old. He is an American citizen. He went to school and played in the streets of Brooklyn and lived with an aunt and uncle al 10s3 Elghty-second street. Brooklyn. But he was homeslck. On February 26 he decided to go to Copenhagen. So he took his oS cents and went io Hoboken and hid himself in the steer age quarters Of the Scandinavian American liner Frederick VIII. Six days out he was discovered.
 Captain Frederick Mecklcnberg talked to him and became sympa- thetic and let him travel in his quar- ters. At Copenhagen tho Danish au- thorities refused to let Eric land until the captain gave bond for him. Then followed few short days with his mother, Mrs. Helga Petersen. She paid his passage back.
 The Frederick VIII arrived yester. day. The immigration authorities here would not let the boy land be- cause he had no passport end they were not sure he was an American citizen. It is likely that Eric will be admitted. but every one interested would rather dcport him because he wants to be united with his mother.
 The Frederick VIII had 642 passen. gers, but left 500 at Halifax.

"APRIL FOOL" PASSES

Along with other customs which are being. sighted in this day of pas sion for the new and sighting of the
 old, there has gone much of the aspect of April first which gave to il the characterization April Fools
 Day" Perhaps there were many April
 fool practical jokes; perhaps there was much April folly. But as far as one could see the limit was reached when one serious-faced individual. his countenance expressing we'll simulated concern. removed his coat, barred his arm and inquired anxiously of a friend: Do you think my vaccina- ton tooH?" with long, forced laugh when he confessed that he had not been vaccinated at all. Or there was the pretty young lady who asked some forgetful person if he knew why the library had been closed, and who, upon seeing the absent minded person
 
 shake his head and say he did not know why the library had been closed, laughed gaily and said: "Because they found smallpox in the dictionary" Of course. it should be explained, the only smallpox found in that valuable book was the word not the disease.
 But it is safe to say that the old April Fool Day" with its journeys into the ridiculous has passed in a measure at least. Not because we are growing older do we, feel this, No in deed; we feel suspiciousy young. But earnest inquiry of young people. chil- dren, even has made the truth evident and immediately comes the natural question Why"
 Certainly it may not be said that the people are not as gay as formerly. Certainly they are just as much given to frivolity and nonsense as in the old days. It is not because of growing seriousness in the nation that April Fools day has assumed less import ant place in the national life.
 Without following all the lines of thought suggested the conclusion may be reached that as there are not as many simple, homemade toys used by tho children; as there are not as many ordinary parties" by the young, and as there are not as many simple ways of amusement as there used 10 be for the people in middle life who still re- tain a sense of sometimes rough humor so it may be said that the simple horse play or April Fools day seems out Of date. The children must have toys; the young peoples parties must be unique affairs" and he adults are too busy with their more | podern forms of amuse- nent, the automobile, the radio and ! novelties of every kind to think much ! ,f the homemade joke. the simple i ,oax. They have no more time for hem than has golfer time 10 stop | md pitch auoits sa lay ball on the i the quoits and the ,ommon have been displaced by mod ,rn. more expensive means Of enter tainment, and, in a sense, the pleasure 1 business of the day requires too much : thought 10 permit of wasting time | ,ver April Fools Day jokes.

 Story of Life
Threatened With a Butchers Life
 When Buffalo Were Killed

This is the third chapter of How I Made My Millions" by E. L. Do- heny, millionaire, oil magnate, poli- tician, and central figure in the Sem ate oil investigation. | Copyright, 1924. NEA Service, Inc.)
 Jobs were scarce. I could find none in Atchison, so I drifted on to Leav- .enworth. It's fame had been flashed the country over on the label. of hams, for Ryan and Whitaker of Leayenworth were leading packers of the day.
 So I reported to their plants and got a job-trimming the sides of hogs. Six to fourteen hundred ami mals day would go down the chute and past the long table at which I worked.
 The quarters I had to handle weighed from 50 to SO pounds each. The work wasn't much to my liking. But I stuck to it, for it was a job and job was my main concern in life then.
 For my labor I got s1 day. But enc day Matt Ryan, the big boss, came by, looked at the small, under sized boy at the table, and wanted to know what he was doing there.
 "I'm doing all right" told him.
 But he thought could do better elsewhere; so he gave me commits sion to go out on the street and buy the hogs from the farmers as they came into town. knew most of them, after my experience as book agent, and I had little difficulty in getting so to 75 hogs a day.
 But business conditions became bad. It was the winter of 1S7S--the year of the great panic, and intense frost out in Kansas. People burned corn instead of coal, it was so much cheaper.
 To add to the general depression came the Russian epizootic influenza, which attacked all horses, and killed many. Oxen were used to pull the street cars. .~
 Then came the great slaughter of buffalo, which helped bring on their extinction. Ryan with his usual en- terprise. arranged for the purchase of o,000 buffalo hams.
 These were expensive. and my em- ployers wanted to realize everything they possibly could. So they gave me a new job.
 They made me sell the spare parts and scraps.
 I stood behind a counter, in part Of their establishment, and became n retail butcher-specializin in spare ribs of buffalo and pork tenderloin!
 Business was good. But it was not tho business liked, for it was not to survey the sides of hams that l had loft home.
 So l decided to jack myself out of it: or else I might he shunted into a butchers rut for the rest Of my life.
