WITHOUT A HOME, FAMILY STARVES UTDOORS A WEEK Father, Mother and Three Small Children Found in Battery Park. POLICEMAN FEEDS THEM. Then Starts Out With Waiter and Finds Him a New Job. PrafMe Policeman Frank M. Roth was On post early to-day near Battery Park, when a pale-faced little woman, with dark circles under her eves, tug@ed at his sleeve. “Please, sir,” she sald timidly, “we've tried to sleep in the park all night, but We can't. There's too many mosquitoes, And we haven't had a thing to eat for twenty-four hours, 1 don't Ike to ask you, but please, sir, I can’t help it.” “Who's been sleeping in the park all might?” asked the dig poll an. “Myself and my husband and three children,” said the woman, The policeman went over and investi- gated. He found a tired looking little man holding in his arms a year-old tn- fant. A little girl of four sat by his side, with her touselled head resting on nig shoulder, and another little girl of even was near by. The man said he was Charles Miller, @ waiter, tormeriy employed in one of the leading Brooklyn restaurants, but dismissed eight weeks ago because of dull business. Since then he has had nothing to do and eight days ago the Uttie family was dispossessed from the little apartment it had occupied at No. 9 Bergen street, Brooklyn. Los Jol AN WAS POSSESSED. “This is the seventh night we have slept outdoors,” sald Miller. “The other sik we slept at Coney Island, but it got too cold and damp down there and we were afraid for the childrenn.” Policeman Roth skirmished around for a big pail and had it filled with coffee at a nearby restaurant. Then he got a big bagful of rolls and within ten minutes the Miller family was enjoying breakfast with the policeman acting as waiter. Roth decided to look after this case himself, having had previous experiences with oharity organizations which didn’t altogether please him. When his tour of duty was over at 8.90 he bought some candy for the children, gave Mrs. Miller our Dis- GOVERNMENT WARS -ONCOAL COMBI WITH RALROADS Suits Begun in Ohio Against Six Railways and Three Bituminous Concerns.

Extreme caution prevented Sammy Bloom, @ pickpocket, from escaping | trom the Coney Island Police Court and | police station to-day. Sammy was juat fg good as gone when his evident fear | that some one would see him attracted the attention of a police officer and led to hia recapture. Detective George Reynolds arrested Sammy at Ulmer Park a few daya ago while Sammy was busily engaged in Jostling people In a crowd. A charge of diso:derly conduct was made against the prisoner and it was speedily learned that he was wanted in Boston, where he jumped a ball bond @ few weeks ago af- ter having been arrested and held for picking pockets. The Boston police wore notified and two detectives from that centre of cul- ture and codfish came down to New York this morning after the prisoner. They found their way to Coney Island and after Sammy had been formally held by Magistrate Hylan aw a fugitive from justice they accompanted him back into the police court corridor to talk to him. The detectives forgot to call the court attendant to lock the door when they went out.

Mr. Leis nan's long service as a diplomat qualifies him particularly im the eyes of the Emperor, who several times has spoken of the need of an experienced Ambassador for the Berlin post and of his desire that no novice be sent here, The selection is also very acceptable to German society, in which the American diplomat and hts family have many friends, The press when discussing possibilities at the time of Dr. Hill's resignation commented favor- ably upon the suggestion of Mr, Leishman. hoievbetimiiii SHIPPING NEWS, PORT OF NEW YORK, ARRIVED, ‘ante ‘of Columbus’, INCOMING STEAMSHIPS, DUE TO-DAY, priesthood, 600 church dignitaries will take part.

Some time will be consumed dispos- ing of these dotatls. The nature of the settlement could not be learned except that it Involves a considerable trading of colonial possessions and so transfers the centre of interest from the Foreign to the Colonial Office. It s understood that Russia played the part of a mutual friend and interposed at London and Paris to take the rough edges off the English attitude, the challenging tone of which for a time was more threaten- ing to peace than the actual subject of the negotiations. 400 TRANSFERRED FROM SOUND LINER STOVE NB ROK Bunker Hill's Passengers, Bos-| ton Bound, in Panic When She Floats, Leaking Badly.
