Morgan Smith Gets the Lawyer. J. Morgan Smith, with whom the de- tectives had already had a talk, hurried to the Hall of Justice as soon as he heard of Crowther's arrest. He was anxious that Crowther should say nothing and trust him to get him out of the scrape, He gald he would get him a Jawyer, and forthwith he had Detective Ross Whita- ker telephone to Henry H.

Of course I couldn’t refuse him.

THE RETURN CHECK MAY SOON BE DISPLACED Many Managers of Public Affairs Are Using a Device Which Stamps the Hand. The return check is not what it used to be. The theaters still use it, but thos who give dances are finding it an Ineff. clent barrier against the cunning tricks and schemes of those professional dance- goers whose ambition s to make thelr faces serve the same purpose as other peo- ple's money. The new device is a small rubber stamp, usually about three-quarters of an inch square. The man who wants to come back doed not under this system receive a check, or his ticket with the corner torn u&wnrd and In the hollow of his palm the officer on the door imprints the stamp. When he comes back he shows his hand 10 the officer and the mark of the stamp is there as incontrovertible evidence that he is the one who went out. Men give away their pass out checks and the result is often an undesirable per- son at the dance. But should a man de- sire to give away his pass out sign he could not. A mark in the hollow of the hand cannot be transferred to the hollow of another hand. An effort to make the gift at the best would only show that the person with the borowed mark had re- celved it wrongfully and was a deadbeat. This plan is the invention of a member of the Worcester police force who has had much experience, as door tender, at pub- lic dances. He says it works to a_charm. Of course ay occaslonal disagreeable per- son objects to being stamped. but such a one receives a double option. He can stay in or he can stay out. Beef, Iron and Wine...

For persons who sail thé seas the last year was fraught with less danger than any year since 1575, says 8. 1. Kimball, general superintendent of the United States Life-saving Service, in his annual report. The loss of life from marine dis- asters last year was less than at any time during the last quarter of a cen- tury. It was one life for every forty-five marine casuaities as compared with one for every forty-one in 1850, which was a very favorable year. The number of casualties to documented vessels was 377. There were on board 2841 persons, of whom but seven wers lost. The estimated value of the vessels in- volved in disaster was $5263,420, and of "‘1‘: cargoes $2,405,036, making a total value of property imperiled 37,354,000. Of this amount $6,405,035 was saved and $948,- 965 lost. The number of vessels ‘totally lost was forty-three. - In addition to the foregoing there were during the year 193 casualties to sma!l craft, undocumented, such as small yachts, on which were 927 persons, of whom 'ten were lost. The property in- volved in these instances is estimated at $213,540, of which $160,240 was saved and §53,300 lost. Besides the number of persons saved from vessels of all kinds, there were six- ty-nine others rescued who had fallen from wharves and plers or were other- wise in extreme peril, most of whom would have perished but for the ald of the life-saving crews.
