And though new clothes of green or

He may regard with satisfaction,
Unless he has a business head
The times have changed, since oldea

When ladies, by the castle fire
Would sit for hours and fondly gaze
Upon their lovers brave attire
Today, when gallants come to WOO,
More practical ideas claim them
And giving the dear things their due

NEGRO SHOWN WAY
OUT OF TOWN
TODAY

Criss Cooper, the stray negro
who was arrested here and lodged
in the county Jail under the charge
of shameful conduct and annoying
a white woman on one of the
principal streets of the city, was
arraigned in criminal court before
Judge j. Vining Harris this fore-
noon.
Solicitor J. F. Busto announced
that the nervous condition of the
woman who was annoyed by this
negro is such that she cannot APP
pear in court, and since she is the
material witness, the case could
not be properly prosecuted with
out her.
Judge Harris then told the
negro that he had been held in Jail
as long as the law allowed with
out trial, and that he would have
to release him. 81 am not letting
you go because want to-" the
judge said, but because the law
requires me to. The officers have
told me why you have been held
en- the charge of vagrancy.
learn that you are charged with
annoying a white woman on the
streets of this city. 1t is pity
that | have to let you go, for all
such cases as these should be pun
ished to the very limit of the law, "
Judge Harris told the prisoner.
Il am going to let you go now.
but ! warn you to shake the dust
off your feet and get out of Key
West at the earliest minute pos
sible, and never come back again, "
the Judge told the negro as he mo-
toned to the deputy to turn the
prisoner loose.
But Crisis Cooper didn't get to
do the Charleston long in shaking
the dust from his feet, for reports
soon came to the sheriff's Office
that a bunch of white men had
picked him up, conveyed him to
Stock Island in automobiles and
had given him a spanking that he
will remember all the days of his
life. He was then shown the rail
road track and he knew mighty
we'll what TO do. The last seen
of him he was ''Miami bound" and
will be there soon if not pinched
somewhere along the way for ex-
eeeding the speed limit.
Just a few days ago negro was
lodged in the Jail under similar
charges. He was taken out, tarred
and feathered. and he few from
here.
These are not Key West negroes.
So far as is known no such charge
has ever been brought against a
local eolored man. 1t seems to be
these ''bullies" that drift about
over the country hunting an OPP
aortunity TO get into trouble.
Upon hearing of the thrashing
administered TO the negro this
morning a representative citizen
expressed regret. but said this
community is determined to have
a city where q white woman can
feel free to walk the streets with
cut fear of molestation from men
of any race.

TIGER GIRL AGREES
TO INFORM ON GANG
Whittemore's Wife Will Be Re
leased if Confession Tallies
With Facts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April I0.-Mrs. Rich
ard Reese Whittemore, the Tiger
Girl wife of the leader of a gang
of jewelry thieves. agreed today to
make a full confession of her knowl
edge of the activities of her husband
Assistant District Attorney Pecora
after questioning Mrs. Whittemore
said she probably would be released
Monday If her confession tailed with
facts the authorities already have.
She agreed to confess after she had
been identified by Mrs. Florence
Carter, red-haired sweetheart of
Anthony Paladino. one of the gang
under indictment, as the woman who
had dinner with them in their Brook
lyn apartment last Christmas day.
Mrs. Whittemore previously had
maintained she was in Baltimore at
that time.
Mrs. Whittemore admitted her pres.
ence at the Christmas dinner, after
she had been told by her attorney
that such admission did not connect
her with the $4,000 Fifth avenue
jewelry holdup in January, for which
she and her husband are indicted.
Mr.. Pecora said he would consent
to her discharge if she tells the truth
and If her counsel will produce her
to testify against the members of the
gang If she leaves the State she must
agree to return without eXtradition
proceedings, he said.
After questioning Mrs. Whittemore
for several hours, Mr.. Pecora said she
had talked with great freedom and
given information which he believed
would be of much value in the trials
of Jacob and Leon Kraemer, two mem
bers of the Whittemore gang.

THE SUNDAY STAR WASHINGTON D. c. APRIL
LORD TO CONSIDER
RETIREMENT BILL
Asks Actuaries' Report of
Cost Before Conference
With BackerS.

Director Lord of the Budget Bureau
has called for an actuarial report from
George B. Buck, chairman of the
board of actuaries for the civil service
retirement and disability fund, upon
the particular liberaliZed provisions
of the retirement bill favorably re-
ported Monday by the House commit
tee on the civil service.
The previous report of the &C.
tuarieS was on some six proposed
retirement measures, none of which
was the same as the measure reported
by the House committee, so that thus
far there has been available no ac-
curate or reliable actuarian study on
the bill now awaiting action on the
House calendar.
AS soon as this actuarial report
giving the cost figures for the first
time-is made to Gen. Lord, Chairman
Lehlbach of the House committee,
who is considered the best authority
in Congress on retirement figures. ac-
companied by Representatives Gibson
of Vermont and Hudson of Michigan,
and probably Senator Stanfield, will
confer with Gen. Lord in an effort to
convince him that the retirement bill
does not entail costs sufficiently large
to put it outside the financial program
of the President.
The Senate Civil Service committee
went over the proposed retirement bill
yesterday afternoon, but concluded not
to report it to the Senate until Thurs
day, in the expectation that further
data may be available by that time as
to the cost.
The question Of reporting to the
Senate has been left by the committee
in the hands of Senator Couzens OF
Michigan, chairman, and Senator
Stanfield Of Oregon. head of the sub
committee on retirement.
The Senate group has practically
decided on the House bill with re-
spect to the 81 200 maximum annuity
the 4 per cent deduction from the
employees salaries and the new age
limits. The Senate bill may contain
a few changes in administrative fea
lures.

Large Apartment Now Used Was

By the Associ ated Press
BERLIN, APRIL 10.-Members OF
the Dawes Commission, foreign fnan.
ciers and even many Germans, who
were the guests of DIR. Hjalmar
Schacht. president of the Reichsbank,
at smoker during the recent annual
meeting of the bank, expressed won
der at the number and spaciousness
of the rooms in DIR. Schacht's apart
ments in the Reichstag building. This
apartment is one of the finest official
residences in Germany, not even ex-
cepting the palaces of the President
and the chancellor.
Wonder concerning this luxury was
removed, however, when it was eX-
planned that the first president Of the
Reichsbank, Herr Won Dechend, had
13 children, which made it necessary
for an unusually spacious residence to
be provided him. When Herr Won
Dechend was raised to noble rank in
1865. 13 gold coins were added to his
family coat of arms.
Both during the Empire and under
the present Republic. the president of
the Reichsbank is one of the most ex-
alted officials in Germany.
