Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens of the local detective bureau, said today that Alfred w. Upson, 2l, who was arrested yesterday in Kew Gardens, L. l., on a charge of sus- picion, has a long record in this city, mainly for breaking and en- tering charges.
 Upson Is resident of S9 Laval street, this city, although he has been out of the state for consider able length of time. ...
 New York police arrested Upson about 8 block from the home of Franklin Sullivan of il5-ll9 May fair road. He was taken to police headquarters at Richmond Hill for further questioning when he gave evasive answers to first queries. Long Island police advanced the opinion that he might be the stock ing-footed "Raffles" who has been victimizing several houses in Vest chester and Bronx counties during the past several months.
 Police records show that Upson was sentenced to Wetherslield in 1883 to serve from one to four years on a charge of breaking and en- tering. He was later transferred to the Middletown state hospital, how ever, and released after extensive treatment for mental disorder. He was pronounced cured.

'CALLOPER SMITH
 PAID HIGH HONOR
Rev. Dr. John Walker Says
 Oxford Mans Wit Was Enviable

Certainly one of the foremost minds and ableSt statesmen of our generation was an Englishman known at Oxford as Fred Smith and during part of his career as 'Galloper Smith" asserted Rev. Dr. John c. Walker in his sermon yes terday morning at the Second Con- gregational church entitled "Act Well Your Part-There All the Honor Lies"
 Dr. Walker said, "He had one of the most acute and brilliant legal minds that ever studied English law. His maiden speech in Parlia- ment made his reputation. From the beginning he was marked man. Frederick Edwin Smith was a scholar, an historian, a lawyer, a statesman of amazing and versatile ability. The Earl of Birkenhead as he was known after 1919. was re- markable figure in English politics. heard his speak once in Edin- burgh. His tongue, was a two-edged sword. His sallies of wit were like the trust of a raper. For sheer in- tellectual brilliance, I have never heard anything like it before or since. But there was one other unforgettable memory that goes with that address. It did not need second sight to tell anyone that the Earl of Birkenhead drank steadily and hard. It is sad story. Whether he wist not do not know but we knew. There was no light ill that mans face, only hard flint in the eyes.
 You can apply this test to the business of teaching. We all know that there are teachers whose work Is drudgery and a bore. They are grinding out words. They get on with their job after a fashion but in the main they are simply filling in time. Like their pupils they are waiting for the bell at the end of the hour. Other teachers we have known who have taught with en- thusiasm and with joy. They have made history live and poetry sing. They make science thrilling quest for knowledge and truth. remem- Der a Professor MacEwan who taught literature. I don't know that he ever told us he loved Robert Burns but this know, when he read Burns. and he never let anyone else read him in his class, there was a light in his face. Perhaps we wist not that his face shone but 1t did.
 Apparently people say to them selves and to each other, Nobody will everyknow the differences" Oh, yes they will. They may not know all the details but they will know all that is necessary for them to know sooner or later. We are all sculptors in one sense. We fashion our own faces, our personalities. Whether we know 1t or not, anger, lust, intemperance. greed, selffish- ness, write their record. And don't be deceived. God is not mocked Faith, good will, fellow feeling, the inner peace, the blessed experience of God, all these write their record. Life writes its record that in due course he who runs may read"
