Another Chance

A total of 3,786 Police Court Of
tenders were investigated last year
to ascertain if they merited proba-
ton, according to the annual re-
port submitted yesterday by Chief
Probation Officer Joseph Sanford.
OF this number 912 were found
to be worthy of another chance"
and placed on probation by the
Judges on their promise of good be-
havior.
Mr.. Sanford also reported that
934 persons were fingerprinted to
learn their record from the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. An exam
pie of the Offices accomplishments
In this work occurred only yester-
day when a 20-year-old colored
youth, who was before Judge Hobart
Newman for vagrancy was finger
printed and found to be an escaped
convict from North Carolina.
The youth, it was learned, was
sentenced in Raleigh, N. c., in 1887
to serve years for assault with
dangerous weapon. and he es-
capped from prison only IL days ago.
He will be returned to penal au-
thorities there.
OF the various charges against
those on probation, petty larceny
was against the greatest number,
209. while intoxication was second
with 135 reporting to the Office each
week. Seventy persons convicted of
driving an automobile while drunk
were placed on probation.
Several foreign-born persons were
reporting at the Office, including
four Englishmen, two Italians and
one each from Denmark, Germany,
Latvia and New South Wales.
Occupations of those reporting

along their way during the late au-
tumn days. They will be carried far
because OF their lightness and finally
many Of them will find a resting
place upon an elm. Through a
wound or opening In the bark the
spore will soon begin its work, and
with the coming of another season
the dead tree will have upon it a
mushroom that is edible and nour-
ishing.
Equipped with a book witten by an
authority on mushrooms, you will
be surprised to see how many diff
ferent species Of edible ones may be
found. Trees. damp ground and
such places will reveal many, many
interesting ones. However, the
Identification of mushrooms is the
most interesting part of your search.
