WOMAN IDENTIFIES

B1U

JTaxtin Smith, Colored, Held to Grand Jury On Evidence of Mrs. Mary Lowe.

l&iowe among the police department members as a "bad actor," Martin Smith, colored, was bound over to the Circuit Court Tuesday afternoon in City Court when he was positively identified as the negTo who entered the home of Mrs. Mary Lowe at 2250 Wabash avenue, the night of June 24, and »stole a pocket book containing $20.

Smith sat with his attorney during the trial and every statement which brought the guilt more closely about |him was accompanied by a frown and ia vigorous shaking of the head in denial. Mrs, Ixwe appeared on the wit'ness stand and idemtified Smith as the I burglar who had entered her home •and her room on that night.

Although none of the doors of the home were locked, Smith entered thrugh a back window and carefully arranged his exit by. propping open the doors, according to th® testimony. Airs. Lowe was awakened by the noise of someone falling over a chair in the hall, and believing it was her husband who is an Invalid, she hurried to the hall and there saw Smith in the lamplight.

Close enough to have touched him, she was able to identify him positively when Detectives Barry amd Baker took Smith to her home following the arrest, and reiterated her statements on the witness stand. Detective Barry's statements showed great discrepancies in Smith's statements following the arrest as to where he had been the night of the robbery.

At the conclusion of the trial when both sides had rested, Judge Shafer announced that Smith was bound over to the Circuit Court, bond being named at 11,000.

CASES APPEALED ON FINDINGS OF GUIL1Y

Woman Bootlegger Fails to Obtain Clemency, and Takes Case to Higher Court

Being able to pay $32 for eight puarts of whisky and unable to pay a fine of $100 didn't appeal to Judge Paul R. Shafer nor Deputy Prosecutor A. Z. Thomas as quite right in City Court Tuesday afternoon, when Mrs Grace Glaser was found guilty of violating the state liquor law.

Protestations were made by the defense when the court handed down a fine of $100 and costs and a sentence of 180 days at the woman's prison, that Mrs. Glaser was not in good health and could not stand Imprisonment, and later the sentence was remitted to 30 days to be served as well aa the fine yet to be paid.

The woman was arrested at her home, 428 North Second street, by members of the police department, and in the trial this testimony was admitted by the defense, followed by Dr. Joseph Kunkler being placed on the witness stand. Dr. Kunkler testified that Mrs, Glaser was a patient under his care.»

He told of her being tubcrcular, nnd that at one timo ho had advised her' to drink as many egg-nogs as possible to build up her health On the stand, the woman told of buying the eight quarts from a bootlegger, paying $32 for them. About the house also were found empty bottles bearing the same brand as those purchased the last time.

At various times, the woman declared, she had purchased whisky for the benefit of her health, and once bofore had been arrested and seven quarts confiscated. When the court would not relent and suspend the fine, an appeal was taken by the defense, bond being set at $500.

Weo Takes Appeal.

Appeal to the Circuit Court waa taken Tuesday afternoon by Adam Wee after he had been found guilty of ^violating the state liquor law and assessed a fine of $100 and costs and 60 days on the penal farm. Adam Martin, tailor, was called into court to act as interpreter, and at the opening of the trial it was found that Wee could talk English better than Martin.

A search warrant raid the night of Juno 28 on Wee's home at 122 Sycamore street, by Motor Officers Casey and Kennett and Patrolmen Mahaney, Garnett, Gobhart and Boyled, when 15 quarts, one pint and seven half-pints of whisky were found, along with three whisky glasses.

WASHINGTON, July 9.—-The new Involuntarily Helen clasped Warren's arm. An awed almost terlfled sensation swept through her, "I get a very kindly influence with this. She was a great lover of animals. She passed out with heart trouble—I feel a gripping here." "No, with pneumonia," Helen's voice was hardly audible. "Well, she had heart trouble. She may not have spoken of it for fear of worrying you. She is standing there by your chair. She is very anxious to give you a messago—something about the future—but I can't quite get it."

A moment's suspense, then she shook her head. "Isn't this the first time you've ever tried to communicate with her? I thought so. They can never give much in the first seance."

Tremblingly, Helen rose to tike the locket she held out. Still in an awesome daze, she did not hear the messages given with the next few trinkots, What had Aunt Alice wanted to tell her? Something about the future!

She was aroused an.} startled by Mrs. Boydo pointing straight at Warren. "That tall gentleman in the y suit —there's-been a spirit trying to communicate with you all evening. Isn't your father in the spirit world?" "He wasn't when I lunched with him yesterday,'' dryly. "Then it's your uncle or some very dear friend. Oh, now I get 'ha name —John! Can you place some one in the spirit world by that name?" "Possibly. It's not an unusual name.'' i "Oh, dear, don't—don't," whispored Helen. "Try to be responsive." "This is a tall man with gray hair. He seems very anxious to tell you something about your business—about some Investment. Are you ^oing into any new line of business—or making any special investments?" "I am not." "You may think not—but I say you will!" vehemently, "And, this spirit warns you to be very careful—particularly about signing any papers. Communicate with him before you sign anything important." "And how can this communication be arranged?" The question seemed serious, but Helen detected the note of irony. "Through any good medium." Then sharply, "It is you, sir, that has the mediumistic power! Are you conscious of it? No? Well, you have It very strong. You're surrounded this very minute by four spirits. Oh, I know you're skeptical—but you'll soon be converted!"

Just here the hall clock chimed eleven—and the seance ended abruptly. Mrs. Boyde lived in Yonkers and had to catch the 11:40. "I'm sorry to havea to hurry ofT— there're other spirits still anxious to give messages. But we'll hear from trem the next time."

With this there was a general breaking up of the circle. Several women clustered around the medium, seeking appointments for private sittings. "Wasn't she wonderful?" enthused Mrs. Stevens when Helen came up to say good-night. "She has a remarkable power." Then to Warren, "And with all your skepticism—you're mediumistic, too! I think that's most interesting!" "Very," grinned Warren. "Com® around—I'll give you a seance any old time." "Oh, you and Henry are dreadful— we should've barred you out." "Why, I thought we behaved rather well," protested her husband.

crefws, which put oft in small boats and were picked up and taken into custody by the British. X'ncier the terms of the armistics, skeleton crews of German sailors were placed aboard the boats when they were surrendered to the allies.

THE MARRIED LIFE OF HELEN AND WARREN

Here several others interrupted with effusive leave-takings. "Oh, Mts. Stevens, we're so Indebted to you! It was a wonderful evening. What sho told me about Aunt Mary— oh, I can't understand it, I've never believed in spiritualism—but this was so convincing, "Great guns, talk about gullible women," ^coffsd Warren, when he finally steered Helen homeward. "You can ram any old thing down their throats." "Now, dear, don't be prejudiced! She did tell some remarkable things— you'll have to admit that. Why, she even gave names!" "Names! If you flounder around long enough with Mary, William and John—you're pretty sure to hit somebody. You notice she didn't spring any surnames,—or anything else you could pin her down to. Jove, she's got the generalities down fine. She's a shrewd old bird!" "But, Warren, she DID tell some things!" "Well, 1# you'd been at that game as long as she lias—you could land a few guesses, too. And she knows how to string 'era along! That 'more the next time' ia great stuff. Keeps 'em oomingl" "But how COULD she know about Aunt Alice?" still wondering what tha undelivered message had been. "She was so kind—and sho did love animals." "Of course she did—most women do. And after they're dead you think they're kind—whatever you thought before. How did Mrs. Stevens get hold of her, anyway? Wbat'd she charge for that show?" "Twenty-five dollars for the evening. She often goes out like that." "I should say she would. Twentyfive bucks—that's pretty good graft. Ha—ha, and I'm mediumistic! Well, if we go broke, watch mo start out in the spook business! As a medium I'd be a rip snorter. I'-d tell *«m just what they want to know—all about Little Willie, Aunt Mary and Uncle John. And I'd collar the coin in large succulent gobs!"

To Be Continued Next Sunday.

BATHER MINUS APPAREL.

MERGER

By Anna Bowles Wiley.

Much opposition against a merger developed at the 5oint convention of the Woman's Association of Commerce, U. S. A., and the National Women's Business committee, at the opening sessions yesterday. It has been the plan of some of the heads of the two organizations to form one group tinder a merger at this convention.

The opposition .arose from the members of the Women's Business committee in the western states, many of whom are women of wealth and the leisure class, who have no need to work, yet who have affiliated under the committee. These women, feeling that as they are not actively engaged in employment and will have no place in the Woman's Association of Commerce, are bittery opposed to the merger. It is believed, at this time, that it will be impossible to satisfactorily combine jthe two organizations without changing the constitution and by-laws of the W. A. of C. in its entirety, as active members of that organization must be wa"ge-earning or professional women.

The convention was opened by Mayor Henry W. Kiel, who gave aa address
