HOV DUSCKIBES METHOD.
When nsked to outline tho method they
follow In tho collection of funds, Austin,
who seems to be the spokesman of tho
two, leplUd:
"We usually so to a house, and, after
rinslii? the bell, ask for the lady of tho
house. When sho comes wo ask her to
contribute to the Women's Relief Com
mittee of the Pennsylvania Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, and then wo
tell her that tho money Is for the Red
Cross, and that It Is to ro to Hurope to
help take caro of all the men who have
bean huit In tho war."
'And do they usually elvo you some
thlnc?" "uh yes! Wn have ben pretty lucky
so ft r, they almost always give some
thing, even If It's only a quarter."
"And you set larse sums?"
"Yea, wc et as much as $10 some
times." "And alter you have got a contribution
from ono house you go on to tho next
ard "
"Oh, no we don't not until we have
given them a receipt for the money," and
the ounger boy produced a rpcelpt book
In which all the contributions were neatly
registered.
When asked If they lin-l any regular
hours for inuking collections the older
boy replied:
"Wo usually go out In the mornings
and gpt all we can. and then wait until
lato In the afternoon when the people
arp comlnK out from the city before try

"Ye, that's the trouble," Dile px

That this lad is u keen observer U

"The pt-ople ho are very rich don't

Michael Znborowskl, of :710 KaBt Mon

an unucrtckcr wns dancing in atten
tion. Michael's relations, after the festivities
started, telephoned to the Philadelphia
Hospital, requesting that the body of
Michael bo sent home. It was the only
part of the wako that was missing. They
stated that the undertaker with an ex
pensive casket nnd nil the other things
necctsary for a neighborhood funerai
would call for the remains.
Tho undertaker did call nnd Michael,
who managed to get out of bed, although
ho had a sprained ankle, climbed Into
the wagon. He accompanied the coilln
and the lloral display home.
Michael sent word Into his homo that
he had once more coma Into his own. Ho
waited results. There were none. The
party ut the waku thought It was all a
Joke.
Michael strode Into tho banquet room
Just like one of the characters of Shakes

or rant. He Just asked thai food nnd

deserved it as the main feature of the

"Jake" Oilman, Indicted ex-constable of

his mind about giving tho Inside story

when he appeared before District At

Gillman had a 13-ininuto session with
the District Attorney and Joseph Roger?,

time he made several denlnls, and then
admitted that he had told newspaper men
yesterday he would reveal the Insido

Given Nine Months For Bringing
Suit Against Traction Company.
.Seeing tho t utility of contesting charges
of attempting to defraud the l'lilladelphla
Itnpid Transit Company by making a fake
claim for old Injuries, Frank J. Mnrter,
of Shermnndnle, Pa., brought his trial to
nn abiupt ending today In Qunitcr, Ses-
l slons Court by pleading guilty to a charge
of poijury. Ho was sentenced to nine
month'! in tho County Prison by Judge
Searle.
Marter, who was known under several
allates, appeared at the offices of the
Itapld Transit Company last month, mak
ing a claim for dislocation of his right
arm. Ho said ho had been thrown from
a car at the Fifth stieet station of the
subway. .Subsequently he entered suit in
tho Municipal Court for $1jO0 damages.
An Investigation of the alleged accident
by Special Agent n. F. Gaskll, ot the
Itapld Transit Company, showed that
Mnrter's claim was not only fraudulent,
Inasmuch as no nccldent had occuircd,
but that ho was able to dislocate his
light arm ut will.
Judgo Searle, in passing sentence,
stilted that neither the Commonwealth
nor tho officials of the Transit Company
sought to have lnlliUcd on Mnrter a
severe sentence.
"It is a well-known fact," said the
court, "that the Itapld Transit Company
and other such companies havo been
compelled to pay maiiv false claims. Tim

The commissioners Issued the following
statement befoie leaving the Bcllcvue

"Wo are more than gratified -with tho
reception tendered to the members of tho
Belgian Commission by the President of
tho United Stntcs.
"Tho stirring sentiments of respect ox
pressed by him for our King, and the
warm friendship and admiration for our
nation will, be have no doubt, be grate
fully received In Belgium, and the coun
try, in the midst of Its present afflction,
cannot help being comforted by tho heart
felt sympathy of tho American people.
"Wo were not unprepared for the atti
tude of neutrality adopted by tha United
Htntcs In the prei-ent Europenn crisis,
and the President, in his reply, insisted
upon this neutrality. Nobody can better
than ourselves understand the duties of
this neutrality, for It is on account of our
neutrality that wo aie at present suf
fering. "Wo handed to the President of the
United States tho proceedings of tho In
MUlrv nnd which prove the atrocities com
mitted by Gtrman troops from the begin
ning of the invasion of our territory.
Tlieie cannot be found in these documents
any more than In our minds, a precon
ceived idea: we realize that war Is essen
tially a cruel thing; but we cannot believe
that conventions, regulating the laws and
customs of warfare between civilized peo
ples, can be considered as a 'scrap of pa
per' of no value.
"As to the destruction of Louvaln, 3Ir.
Bonnr Law has Justly said that this crime
puts an Indelible spot on the honor of
the Germanic race, and Mr. Asqultli, the
Prime Minister of Great Britain, Justly
declared that this was 'the greatest crime
committed against civilization -arid culture
sine the Thirty Years Wnr.'
"It Is not without the utmost suipilse
therefoie, that we read in America, in
The Independent" an article signed by
the German Embassador, Count Herns
dot ff, which nrticle advances for the de
struction of Louvaln an explanation
