COURT HOUSE GANG HOW UNDER ARREST Lads Who Persist in Mischief Are Corralled by the Police.

ABUSED WHITE WOMAN. YELL "NIGGER, NIGGER" AT HER AS SHE PASSES COURT HOUSE PARK, THE RENDEZVOUS OP THE YOUTHFUL LAWBREAKERS Repeated demonstrations of rowdyism and constant repetition of complaints against the misbehavior of a crowd of boys known as the "court house gang," has resulted in the arrest of eight members. "Nigger, nigger," yelled one or more of the boys as Mrs. A. C. Kean, a white woman, passed by the group last evening. She reported the affair to the police and Glen Newton was arrested by Officer Roberts. Newton supplied the police with the names of other members of the crowd and an attempt will be made to prosecute Newton, Leroy Hart, Elmer Clark, Otis Cromer, Frank Laugle, Charles Loftus, James Gee and Nelson Nolan. A charge of loitering probably will be placed against each. City Attorney Study is making an investigation of the affair assisted by the police. This group of boys and their companions have been the source of greater trouble to the police department than any equal number of the most hardened criminals ever arrested. The lads range in age from fourteen to nineteen years. Several have been arrested before. If not prosecuted they have been bound over to the juvenile court only to be released upon promises of good behavior and to break this promise at the first opportunity. Leroy Hart and Frank Townsend, who has just been paroled after a term at the Plainfleld reform school, are credited by Supt. Bailey with the neatest job of burglary perpetrated in this city in the last five years. Hart has been a ward of the juvenile court ever'slnco its creation. Every other member of the gang has been arrested on some charge or the other. The police department has been hampered in its attempts to put a stop to the practices. The youngsters have been arrested" so often and in each instance permitted to go unpunished, that they have assumed a spirit of dauntless courage and respect neith er the police nor the law. The expres sion of one of the youngest lads at po lice headquarters this morning Is char acteristic: "Dan McManus, O , he couldn't catch me." He referred to the first sergeant of the police. This same boy, Charles Loftus, has committed numerous depredations with absolute abandon and never once caus ed to suffer punishment. He has been saved by his few years. Other members of the crowd have had experiences of a kind that would form material for a story more thrilling than any Diamond Dick or Frank Merrlwell novel of the yellowest back and contents. These boys refuse no undertaking because of fear of arrest or any danger that may lie in their path. They hold themselves immune and confident in their escape from punishment they continue in their course uninterruptedly. Time and again they have been tak en to police headquarters or ordered to report and invariably they have promised to mend their ways tr been held to the Juvenile court. Hart, who is commonly called "Cracker," has seen the Inside walla of the court's private office so often they hold no fear for him. He has been there time and again and always by promising to be good, has been spared a sentence to the reform school. The lawn about the court house is the rendezvous for the gang. They lie about the yard at all hours of the day and far into the night, except when en gaged in Eome mischief. The Hart boy distributes newspapers and is thrifty about his work, but mischief breeds In his many leisure hours. The county commissioners have been told of the habits of the boys and have instructed the sheriff to keep them out of the yard or make them behave when present. The sheriff, his turn key and the city police have found it impossible to be on hand every minute and thus prevent discord. City At torney Study said this morning he will ask the commissioners if they can not devise some method for controlling the park about the court house. The lads indulge in noisy games, play ball and delight in abusing old men and children who seek the benches in the cooing shade for rest.

Warsaw, Ind., July 29. Governor John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, pass ing en route from Celina, Ohio, to Elkhart, Ind., where he spoke, was asked for an opinion as to what part the Independence party would play In the elections this fall. He replied that it was just rounding into form, and that, while it was therefore difficult to predict what it would accomplish, the party would probably make Itself felt. As to the situation in his own state he said: "Minnesota is normally Republican. It is a little far in advance to tell what the state will do this fall, but we will make a fight there." Yesterday was Governor Johnson's forty-seventh birthday. He is pretty well worn out by three weeks of speaking at various Chautauquas. SUNDAY OUTINGS.

Ha zel, was hypnotized and then murdered," declared Mrs. John Drew, mother of the girl whose body, was found two weeks ago on the bank of Teal pond "I am sure Hazel did , not commit suicide," said Mrs. Drew. She was happy and had everything she wanted. If anything had been wrong she would have come to me. She always did, and I gave her everything she asked. I believe it was some one who was well to do, and who had Hazel in his con trol, who took her out to Averill Park. He hypnotized my Hazel and she did whatever he asked of her. He took her out there while she was un der his influence and murdered her." Mahogany Is said to have been brought to England by Sir Walter Raleigh In 1593. but not to have come

NAN PATTERSON BALK AT ORDER Reconsiders Decision to Leave Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa., July 29. Nan Patterson has balked against the order forcing her from Pittsburg, and thereby has placed the officials in a tight place. They do not know what to do with her, and in the meantime are questioning all detectives to find the one who published the supposed secret order. When the former actress first was called to headquarters she was quiet, owing to fears she entertained that the New York authorities had requested that she be sent back there, where she was tried three times charged with the murder of Caesar Young, cad finally givci freedom on probation. During her conference with Acting Captain of Detectives Roach, Nan, it is said, readily consented to leave here, but later, when she learned the real foundation for tho request was a chargo by a prominent woman that Nan had enticed her husband, she changed her mind and refused to leave.

"Go down there on the grass and clean the mud off your feet" "Yes'm," and he went "As I was saying, ma'am," he continued as he again came to the door, "I am sell" "Take off your hat! Never address a strange lady at her door without removing your hat." "Yes'm." And off went the hat "Now, then, as I was saying" "Take your hands out of your pockets. No gentleman ever carries his hands there." "Yes'm," and his bands clutched his coat lapels. "Now, ma'am, this work on eti" "Throw away your cigarette. If a gentleman uses tobacco he is careful not to disgust others by the habit" "Yes'm," and the tobacco disappeared. "Now, ma'am," as he wiped his brow, "In calling your attention to this valuable" "Wait Put that dirty handkerchief out of sight I don't want your book. I am only the hired girl. Yon can come in, however, and talk with the lady of the house. She called me a liar this morning, and I think she needs something of the kind." Sketch Bits. LITERARY HERESY? Ars Chaucer, Spsnscr, Milton, Byron and Shakaparo Bor? "We had the notion of doing something of the kind," the Easy Chair confessed when requested to furnish a list of the hundred best authors. "but we could not think of more than ten or a dozen really first rate au thors, and if we had begun to com pile a list of the best authors we should have had to leare out most of their works. Nearly" all the classics would have gone by the board- "What havoc we should have made with the British poets! The Elizabethan dram atists would mostly haTe fallen under the ban of our negation to a play If not to a man. Chaucer, but for a few poems. Is Impossible; Spenser's poetry Is generally duller than presidential messages; Milton Is a trial of the spirit in three-fourths of his verse; Wadsworth is only not so bad as Byron, who thought him so much worse; Shakespeare himself when he is rever ently supposed not to be Shakespeare Is reading the martyrs; Dante's science and politics outweigh bis poetry a thousandfold, and so on through the whole catalogue." William Dean Howells In Harper's Magazine. A Picture of Your Voice. To take a picture of your voice it Is only necessary to tie a sheet of thin, strong paper over the wide end of a tin trumpet. Hold it with the sheet of paper upward, take a thin pinch of fine sand and place it In the center of the paper, hold the trumpet vertically above your face and sing a note Into the lower end. Do not blow, but sing the note. Lower the trumpet carefully and look at the sand. Yon will find that the vibrations of your voice have scattered the pinch of sand into beautiful sound picture. Every note In the musical scale will produce different picture, so you may produce a great variety of them. Some of these pictures look like pansies, roses and other flowers; some look like snakes and others like flying birds. In fact. Jjijv lajojlmit to the variation. t J
