The police can stop skating without bringing the skaters before the police court, but even at that there should be places where the children should not be disturbed at their sport. In some ‘cities all traffic is suspended while children use the streets as a play- ground. ONE CONVIOTION FOR PERJURY. Franklin D. Safford, a hotel clerk, has been convicted of having com- mitted perjury by identifying James . Osborne, the well known criminal lawyer of New York, as the com- panion of Rae Tanzer, who has sued him for breach of pormise and $50,- 000 and who alleged that she visited various hotels with him. She has been indicted for using the meils for im- proper purposes and has said that the lawyer in question was not her com- :lon as at first alleged although Safford swore she was. The maximum penalty in this case is a fine of $5,000 va \and imprisonment for five years. Sen- tence will be imposed on Monday. This is & most peculiar case, in fact ‘the lawyers themselves do’ not seem to understand it and it tpok the jury over eight hours to reach a verdict. ‘While it was out some of. the law- yers engaged in a dispute, 1t is said that one struck another and 'a third cne said that he would knock an- other's face in. Lawyer Osborne has denied ever seéing the woman plain- tiff until the case came into court and there has- been much ‘talk of blackmail. Rae Tanzer not. only claimed that ‘Oshorne had been her ccmpanion, but her sisters corrobo- rated her testimony. ‘What has added to the mystery is that the plaintiff has chenged her story now, saying that her admirer was Oliver Osborne and that he is not the lawyer whom she has sued. At Safford’s trial she said e was the man and no one seems to have any idea as to what she will say next, ' Her trial is soon to:be called on the charge of having committed perjury at Safford’s trial. A man who said that he was Oliver Osborne, put in an appearance after the proceedings were started against his namesake and admitted that he was the man in the case, but he has not been seen or heard from since. It looks now as if there will be more than one prosecution for perjury, and the.indications are there will be some convictions. Bven at-that the entire case is a rathor mysterious one. —_— MOTHER’S DAY, BUT NONE FOR FATHER. The New Haven Union says that certaln people have decreed tnat Sun- day, May 9, shall be observed as mothers’ day, and gives some very good reasons who it should be general- ly observed. No one, however, has a word to say in favor of a recognition of Fathers' day which was suggested a few years ago. The suggestion was rocelved with derision and all kinds of fun were poked at the nead of the hcuse, He was not, however, without defenders, although it must be ad- mitted that they were in the minority and since woman suffrage has in- ‘creased in. stregth and popularity “fathers’ day has been frawned upon and some mean things have been sald against him. e is still here jJust the same and is likely to remain, for he i rejoicing with the poet who said: “Sticks and ktones ‘Wil break my bones, But names will never hurt me.” The head of the house has been rid- jculed from time immemorial and women, Who should be the first to sing his praises, are loudest In denouncing hum, His faults ars mugnifled be- yond all reasonable proportions and the funny papers picture him coming Home late in a disgraceful condition end the lady of the house waiting for bim at the head of the stairs with an ugly ‘looking {mplement in hand and a candle n the other, and saying: ‘“hurry up here/’ He Is in- deed having a hard time of it and {hought soms kind and thoughtful in- dividuals are in favor of naming a day in his honor athers are objecting, say- ing that it should be a night instead, He will comse into his own some day and he ‘will undoubtedly be given the recognition he deserves, He is en- titled to it and while there may be an honest difference of opinion as to the manner in which his aay should be celebrated it is agreed that he should De ullosed some Iiberty and the police should be forbidden to interfere with bim unless it be to direct him in the event of his having getten lest while FACTS AND FANCIES, Begin swatting now!

In view of the fact that Memorial day this year falls upon Sunday and preparations have been made in many places for the holding of mass meet- ings and exercises with prominent or- atons for the occasion on that day, the suggestion has been made that it might be advisable if the practice was followed of holding the Memorial Day exercises each year on the last Sun- day of the month and devote Memo- rial Day to the actual decorating of :lhe veterans’ graves.—Norwich Bulle- n. ¥ Hartford, in fact all of Connecticut, is remarkably free from the labor troubles ana strikes which are usually expected In the early part of May each year. .The only strike in this city is that of the Hebrew bakers and only ‘about twenty or twenty-five men are involved in it.

Stamford has its labor- ers’ strike and there are a few minor disturbances reported from other parts of the state, but nothing of conse- quence.—Hartford Post. : As the trees which shade the city’s streets ahd the country roads are daily becoming more and more grace- ful and ottractive in their fresh foli- age, one easily marks the spots where Aan elm, or maple, or oak fell a year or two ago, never to be replaced. Such spots seem more barren than those which never knew the shade of bush or .tree .and- the thought that before another great tree may be ralsed on them, even under tthe most favorable conditions, two or three generations of men must pass, emphasizes the need of attention to those trees that have survived.—Waterbury Republican. Perhaps it would have been to the wdvantage of the brewers and to some of the-wholesalers to defeat the higher license - proposition, but the pro- prietors of the larger saloons, those who are really for the breweries and consequently in the best financial position to furnish the sinews of war, niay be regarded as not naturally very antagonistic to the higher license. It is these men who are most likely to benefit by the closing of the little saloons, and it is not at all improb- able that the benefit may be figured by them as considerably greater than the damage done by the mmposition of the extra dollar a day in license fees. -—New London Day. A City Made to Order. (Indanapolis News.) ‘1t there is anything romantic about the grime and noise of a steel plant, Gary, Ind.,, will not lack material for an absorbing history. Nine years ago, April 18, officlals of the United States Steel corporation caused a carload of cinders. to be dumped on the ' sand dunes over which has since spread the city of Gary. It is this city which has now voted itself into the second class, In 1912 its population was 30,000. This year it counts close up to.50,000. No one knows but that the next few Years will witness an even greater in- crease. The story of Gary is essen- tally that of the steel trust, Nine vears ago the corporation cast about for a midwestern site, It wanted a combination of rail ana water trans- portation, cheap land and plent¥ of room in which to expand. A place at the southern extremity of Lake Mlchi- gan, six miles east of Indiana Harbor and twenty-six miles southeast of Chicago, was selected, and was called Gary, after Judge E. H. Gary, execu- tive head of the trust, The city itself is an example of the one /| power, of wealth to oreate wealth, The: steel trust, alive only to its own fortune, eould not prevent—nor aid it seek to prevent—other firms and hun-~ dreds of persons from growing rich, The opponents of unearnea increment, as appropriated by fortunate specula~ tors in land, have been treated to a remarkable spectacle in Gary, From the time the first load of material was dumped on the shore of Lake Michi- gan Gary has prospered, It is a oity made, to order, The steel trust, through its subsidiary, the Indlana Stesl company, needed a convenient oity of 100,000 population—a popula- . tion. largely devoted to the maufac- ture of gteel and’' allled products. Gary hasinot yet reached the 100,000 wmark, but it seems likely to. The great steel plants of the cor- poration attracted other plants, so that now the sand wastes are govered with yards and foundries, and miles of city streets have been thrown out into the apen counti GOOD ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAMED IN INSTITUTE’S LIST THIS WEEK Audacious war, by C.

Far beyond the boundaries of the states affected have the shortcomings of the New YorKk and Massachusetts legislatures been the subject of serious criticism. The outside interest mani- fested in the things done and left un_ done shows the sensitiveness of re- publican opinion the country over to the crisis through which the party is passing. Whether it succumbs to the yoke of reaction or purges its leader- ship this year preparatory to a liberal lineup in 1916 will go far toward de- ciding the issue of the presidential contest. Those who think the party can come back on a platform of nega- tion, those who are relying upon bad business conditions as the sole or even the chief influénce in the election of Mr. Wileon's successor, are trifling with one of the greatest opportunities any party ever had to return to pow- er with the enthusiastic support of an overwhelming "majority. Such a ma- jority cannot Be rolled up under the leadership of Penrose and Barnes et al, however widespread the discon- tent with the blunders of Wilson, Bryan et al. From Main to Califor- nia the present swing toward repub- licanism. is due in considerable part to the popular bellef that the exper- fence of 1912 has proved in value to the republicans all it has cost the country. The first evidence that the party has learned its lesson should come from those states where it now holds power, and that evidence is far from reassuring| In New York the state government is repulican throughout, and in Mas- sachusetts the legislative branch is under republican control with a large working mapority in both houses. The Albany body has adjourned without deserving or receiving favorable com_ ment in or outside the state, The rec- ord on Beacon Hill‘has not been near- 1y =o bad, but it has been bad enough and the results of the remaining weeks of the session will determine whether the republican legisators have used well their opportunity to justify their re-election and to hearten all who hope to see the party deservedly suc-, cessful in the national contest next year. No republican senator or rep- resentative should minimize the part his legislative record will play in the coming state camp. . The electorate cannot be expeétgd to view with. en- thusiasm a return next year of the legislature which has failed’at this session to make good . Its “platform pledges, The responsibility rests up- on the republicans on Beacon Hill to make & record at this session which their party can make a conspicuous part of the platform in the state cam- paign soon to begin.. That record to- day s by no means made, The re- mainder of the sessiod will tell 'the story, Fall River Line. (Fall River Herald.) There can no longer be any doubt about the determination of the New Haven company ta sell ity steamboat | lines, after the declaration made by President Eliot at a hearing before the legislative committee in oBston. As soon as it can get a suitable customer, with the price demanded, the rail- road will sell out its interests in the Sound traffic. That means a great deal to Fall River, because it will pt the world-famed Fall River line into new hands, will make the city depend_ ent for water transportation on new agencies and will presumably throw some valuable wharf property and shore frontage into the market, a situation of peculiar interest while we are considering the development of i the port of Fall River. | It is inferred that the petition of | the New Haven company for a hear- ing before the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to con- tinue its steamboat lines is for the purpose of secuming time in which to make a satisfactory sale, free from the depressing influence that a prospec- tive forced sale Would have. The plans for financing the steamboat company’s debts is presumably along the same line. Whatever regrets this commun- ity may feel at the possible passing of the glory of its steamboats, whose registry in this port helps to keep it on the custom house map, those re- grets will naturally have little in- fluence in the face of a losing busi- ness venturé which the line in its pres- ent magnificence has proved to be for the railroad company. Three Buffalo Babies. (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) The most interesting infants In Pennsylvania are those three baby buffaloes on Mr, Trexler's farm near Allentown 'where dwell eighteen bison, It is rather curious that this largest hegrd of buffaloes is not so far from the Spot v}'h’ere ‘was seen. the last wild moose in Pennsylvania, That was in the Wind Gap in 1803. In that same year Jacob Weikert drove the last wild buffalo even seen in Penn- sylvania out of Buffalo Valley, Union county, toward Lewiston. The buffalo disappeared from this state long be- fare the wolf and the panther. Clpt. John Decker, who shot the 1ast Pennsylvania elk in 1877 up in Center Pennsylvania, is still living, Henry W, Shoemaker of Altoona teils me that three wolves were seen in Penn's valley, Center county, in 1902, but one was tracked in Clinton county only last year. James Lucas took the final mature panmer' scalp in 1886 at Beecher's camp, Cénter county, Panther cubs were slain in Miffin county up to twenty-two years ago, At the time of our centennial there was still'a big pack of wolves in McKean county, The wild pigeon, the wolf ‘and the panther vanished about the time the red-shirted lumbermen invaded the great central forests.

Polite words and the desire to be perfectly fair to a public official who has won the respect of the people can- not conceal the ugly fact that the “ripper” crimes and the destructive use of dynamite in the Bronx have caused great anxiety and alarm, and that the recent efforts of the police have done little to reassure us. The explosion of dynamite which wreckgd part of.the Borough hall in the Brofix | Monday evening. was carefully planned and skilfully executed. It was the work of practiced criminals, done for a purpose, and the inference that the dynamiters were the very ones who caused the explosion by the wall of the Bronx court house some time ago is irresistible. Suspicion fell then upon some rascals who had sworn to avenge the conviction of certain friends of theirs engaged in illegal occupations, but the police in the in- terim have made no progress toward their appréhension. The killing of the Murray boy Monday night was a crime gimilar in all aspects to the slaughter of Lenora Cohn in the same part of Manhattan six weeks ago, the work of a degenerate with a mania for killing, The police are about as near to identifying the murderer in the Murray case as in the Cohn ecase. Hut, for that matter, they have not vet appr¥hended the murderers of Barnet Baff, whose crime wag com- rnitted bany months ago in broad-day- light; while the Hellner case is al- ready in the way of becoming a mys- tery in spite of the identinication of Hanel as the murderer and the con- fidence of the police that they would soon have him in custody. Whenever the police do good work there is a disposition to appiaud it. have done some notably good work since Mr. Woods has been com- missioner. But the accumulation of mysteries is wearing upon the nerves. The Bronx dynamiters, the murderer cf helpless children, and Hanel are still at large. A system which affords practical immunity to criminals of this kind is not efficlent enough for the protection of life and property in New York eity. Frst Spike in the Alaska Railroad. (Providence Journal.) From Seward, the chief port on the Gulf of Alaska, word comes that the “first spike,” symbolic of tne begin- ning of work on the governmen! thirty-five million dollar rallroad was driven into its place on Thursday of last week. One Martha White, the first white child born in the neignnorhood of Cook Inlet, wielded the hammer on this historic occasion. Whether Miss White is still a child, or a woman grown, is not clear. Nor is the spike described, whether it was of gold, silver, copper, or baser material; or- namental or actually useful and neces- sary for holding down the first length of rail, sleeper, or whatever it was that was spiked. Presumably, how- ever, it was an ordinary rairoad spike, perhaps, polished clean and bright for the occasion, and adorned with a rib- bon, and was hammered in to stay. The ceremony of driving a gold spike may suitably be reserved for the com- pletion of the rallroad at Fairbanks, iwo hundred milesiaway to the north. It is learned from the Seward dis- patch that the work on the govern- ment railroad has been started from Ship Creek, a waterway and settle- ment at the head of navigation tnrough Cook Inlet, from tne Pagific. The so-called inlet is really a broad and long waterway of the general contour of, but much larger than, Narragansett Bay, capacious enough for ocean steamships. With the Alaska gulf and Prince Willlam Sound, to the east, it forms the Kenal Peninsula, on the southeast shore of which lies Seward. From Seward, up the peninsula, the Alaska Northern railroad runs, seventy-two miles to an arm of Cook Inlet some fifty miles ‘south of Ship Creek. The government has purchased this railroad for incor- poration in the line it has laid out from the ocean to Fairbanke, the me- tropelis of central Alaska. The first step in the project, now imaugurated, will be to close the fifty-mile gap to Ship Creek. Though the first spike hgs been driven, the engineers can hardly be Teady to rush the work at once. The material is yet to be assembled. In- deed, notice i given that there s plenty of labor available in Alaska for all the construction that can be under- taken within the next few mopths, Ship Creek will be the hase of - tions, the government having en over the settlement there for a 1- nal. A commercial port of some con- seqience may ultimately be developed at that point, rivaling Seward with It was with this project in mind that the department of commerce, the other day, an- nounced that the name of Ship creek had been changed to “Weodrow Creek”’—evidently in honor of the president, The Seward authorities ap- parently had not heard of that when they reported the driving of the first spike by Martha White at Ship Creek.
