It didn't do a thing that any other baby wouldn't do, save be good most of the time, until that unfortunate night when, because of its restlessness, its mother picked it up and sang it to sleep by the window while she watched for her husband to come home from his work, Slowly the little girl dozed off unul her regular breathing told the mother that she was asleep. Then she was placed in her crib and left there and all that night Father Slatot and Mother Slatof told each other what a good baby @he was and what a blessing it was to have a child that knew enough to sleep when sleeping time came around. But in the morning the proud parents didn't feel so good about tt. Baby Sla- tof refused to wake up and she has re- fused to wake up since, Dr, Willam Henry Kahrs, of No. 168% Washington aevnue, was called in and tried every- Laing known to medical science to rouse the little girl, but she failed to respond to anything, She just went on sleeping looking vety comfortable and healthy and arently enjoying the rest very much, Couldn't Afford a Specialint, Dr, Kahrs was so perplexed by the situation that he wanted to call in a specialist, but the Slatofs couldn't afford such a luxury. So Dr, Kahrs went on watching the little girl himself, and he has watched her night and day for ¢he past ten days without noting anything that ¢hrows the slightest light on the mystor ‘ Dhe child has slept on peacefully, not been telegraphed here by the Governor of Beirut, Syria, as follows: | “Attarian, a native of Kharput, who | has for some years been abroad, re- ently re-entered the country secretly nd had ‘been travelling in the interlor with a Turleish passport. On his ar- rival lately at Alexandretta Attarian claimed the protection of the American Consul and asked for his assistance to enable him to embark for Egypt. “Mr. Davis accordingly notified the authorities, But the latter insisted that the sanction of the Governor must be obtained and that the usual formalities be carried out, such as photographing Attarian. “Mr. Davis refused to tolerate the de- lay and attempted to embark the man by force. The police arrested Attarian at the quay, whereupon Mr. Davis, aided by his military couriers, struck the policemen, who were wounded on their faces. He afterwanl attempted to} force an entrance into the guardhouse, breaking windows and doors, but un- avallingly. “Thereupon Mr. Davis threatened that unless Attarian was released and allowed to embark within four hours he would himself leave. “Not receiving satisfaction Mr. Davis embarked for Beirut on the same steamer Attarian tried to take."

Dean swindler, who was able to stave, off prison sentence After having been found guilty on charges of fraud gnore ‘than two years ago, made another de- termined effort to ihave the decision of! the lower court set aside to-day when he appeared before Judge Thomas in the Federal Court and asked for a new trial. His attempt failed. Kellogg, with the same jaunty, self- sadsfied alr, entered the vourt-room smiling and complacent. His dress was in the helght of fashion. Attorney Rhodes and Commissioner Hitehcock, who represented Kellogg's interests, suid that they liad affidavits proving that Kellogg haa not protited by the gl- gfantic Dean swindles, When Judge Thomas learned what Kellogg and his attorneys wanted he hecame irritable and said, his volce ris- ing angrily: “What has this court to do with this? I am tired of this case." Mr. Rhodes then begged that the Court hear the afMdavits, and after some argument Judge Thomas said: Wants the © Ended. “Go ahead, then, I want this case got over with as quickly as possible.” Some of the affidavits were by men who were interested in the Dean swin- dle, and they seemed to have little welght with the Court. The affidavits purported to show that Kellogg had severad ‘his connection with the Dean company when the swindling operations began. Kellogg declares that he did not profit one cent by the big frauds. “For that reason,” Mr, Rhodes sald: “we beg for a new trial. We can pre- sent other affidavits if you will give us time.” “1 cannot give you a new trial," said Judge Thomas. u have had justice. Your trial was “Already justice has been delayed.

A Uni ed Funeral. ¢ Because of Redican’s record as a po- liceman and his act of bravery Capt. Farrell, of tho Old Slip station, asked permission from Commissioner Greene to give the young patrolman a uni- formed funeral. This was granted, as was also the request to keep the sta- tion-house draped in mourning for thir- ty days. So when the funeral left the Redican home for Calvary Cemetery it resembled the last tribute to a great military commander, ‘The police band of sixty pleces led the way, followed by the entire command of the Old Slip etation. After them came Capt. Farrell, two sergeants and two roundsmen. Then came the hearse and the members and friends of the family.
