WATCH THE CROWDS,
AS WflS COP EXPLAINS,
TO FORETELL STORMS
"When Homegoers Rush
Ahead of Speeding Jit
neys, Drop Parcels and
Act Like Scattered Geese,
There's a Reason.
Weather prophecies obtnlnod with tho
v Mid of rnfastard plasters, gooso bones and
other Jiomo-tnada contraptions, while re-
; ffnrded as ancient and honorablo means
of forecasting tho weather, must yield to
a now method which has Just conio to
light The latest thins Is to foretell tho
weather by the passing crowds.
Reserve Policeman Chris Thompson,
stationed near tho Postofllco on Markot
street, has the system worked out to per
fection, lie says that his prophecies
haven't failed onco
"Tts," ho snld whllo regulating tho
traffic at his corner a few dnys nco, "I
ran costly tell what tho weather Is going
to bo. It is a cinch. All I havo to do Is
to talco a good squint nt tho crowds, and
I havo tho secret wltnout the aid of any
delicate weather machinery." (Two blnsts
of his shrill whlstlo and the traffic moved
cast nnd west). Aside "No, lady, this Is
9th street, tho Park Is at 29th nnd Spring
Oardon, take routo 0 on Arch street, ono
block up Hey you, In tho dollar and n
quarter automobile, get back 10 feet from
tho crossing What theso Jitney drivers
don't know about traffic rules Is a won
der." WATCHES HOME-GOERS.
Resuming his conversation, ho said: "In
tho morning when tho crowds nre start
ing their day's shopping, JUst an you see
now, everything is running as smoothly
as clockwork. Whon the day Is nearly
MP and every ono Is hustling home, every
thing moves with tho samo regularity, If
that's tho point If It Is not going to
rain. There U the key to the wholo situa
tion. "When we're going to get It, oven If
the storm Is hours off, I can always tell
by the way tho crowd, especially tho
' women, act." (Hero he broke off to ox
tract a bewildored woman from a mazo
of street cars, Jitneys and wagons.)
"Seo that?" ho snorted on his return.
"It's suro going to rain. I never saw
such a dumb trick. Did you see the way
she got balled up? Walked right Into It,
'after I had told her to stop. If she had
been hit I'd been responsible. She wasn't,
so she thinks nothing of It. That's what
I get all day long. Trouble Is, they look
at the motormen, and not at me. Oh,
' you have to watch 'em. Wall a minute
here comes another, footing It full tilt
for tho street, not looking where sho's
going. It's going to rain, all right."
"LIKE HEADLESS CHICKENS."
When he camo back from his second
rescue, and after having "bawled out" a
' couple of drivers, ho resumed:
"Whenever I seo the women rushing
around helter-skelter In tho heat of tho
afternoon, I know It's going to rain be
fore morning. Whenever they rush
around like chickens without heads, I al
ways phono for my rubber coat. An In
variable sign of rain Is when the women
run to the end of the big green cars and
fuss around the rear door, or try to climb
Into the exit at the front of tho yollow
cars, all tho whllo nagging and fussing
with the conductors. The approaching
rain seems to mako them peevish and ill
tempered. Whenever thtsy drop their bun
dles right and left and then drop moro
While trying to plclc up the first ones,
It's a safe bet It's going to let out. When
they get so helpless, and don't know what
to do, or get needlessly mixed up In tho
traffic, as you Just saw, grab somebody's
umbrella and beat It for home. It's In
evitable. "I don't know what It Is that makes
them act that way. They seem to smell
the rain In the air, for suddenly they
are transformed from a quietly moving,
machine-like body Into a running, fuss
ing, bewildered, eeml-hysterlcal bunch of
females. And that Is a sign that has
never failed to forecast rain "
At this point the traffic was again con
gested and when It was finally straight
ened out with the help of a mounted cop,
a woman was found to be In tho mtddlo
of the mlx-up, badly frightened and
thankful for her narrow escape.
"See," yelled Thompson, mopping tho
sweat from his brow, "It's going to rain."
T3ven then the clouds were gathering and
before the reporter had reached his nflles
, it was pouring.

Statistics, unfortunately, are not ap

as yet in a. nascent condition, used the

'i analyzing a relation of Ideas that la dim-

An unllghted cigarette mu poued so

to light It
"Stop & moment,' said the person Inter

Resistance to Robbers.
The fruits of battle are often sad, which
can be proved by "Peaches" tho huckster,
who received two black eyes and lost six
front teeth while protecting a dozen
apples. It appears that tho apples looked
especially nttractlvo to James Oormley,
of 161 West Thompson street, and ho
told "Peaches," whoso correct name Is
Bernard Itogh, to hand them over,
liut "Peaches" refused. Oormley and
two pals, he snld, then pounced upon him
and a quadrnngulnr battle ensued,
"Peaches" nnn kicked and punched un
mercifully, and when the smoka of battle
elenred ho was sitting on the sidewalk
while tho street was revolving rapidly.
Oormley was arrested and taken to tho
Front and Master streets police station,
"You're what they call hard guys," said
Magistrate Scott, "yet It took threo of
you to whip ono man. I'll hold you for

In San Francisco and early lilntfl of a

Tho 900 delegates offered unanimous
support In tho present "dry" movement,
furthering tho waging of a "Bllent" cam

Committees have taken tho matter up
with State legislators and somo encour

resolutions offered here.
"If tho employer sees our work as
efficient as that of men, why should we
not get the samo salaries?" arfkod tho
speaker. "Tho convention should bo
called up to do something and drastic
action Is necessary to force living wages."
Tho warning was sounded against

caused a stampede, and In tho excitement

taining $30 In cash and valuable papers
in a COth street trolley car last night.
Two men stood besldo Hessian on tho car
and Jostled him. When he alighted at
Markot street he found his pockutbook
gone. Beforo tho men could get away ho
had one of thorn arrested. The prisoner
described himself as Abo Oilman, of 1500
South 6th streot. Magistrate Harris, at
the 32d street and Woodland nvenuo sta

further hearing on Sunday. The monoy

every one knows, Is infinitely more de
lectable than the taste. And as taste and
sense of odor are closely allied, why not
put the emphasis on odor?"
Dusk and the placid and meditative
mood of falling shadows and satisfying
glooms silenced the talk of the two
friends. The cigarettes' smouldering

EVENING LEDGER
BOY SCOUTS
The Portable Householder
By Samuel Scoville, Jr.
On tho morning of April 23 I was out
In tho woods beforo breakfast watching
a pair of whttc-brensted nuthatches In
their nest In a hole In n tulip tree. Sud
denly I heard a rustle nt my feet, and
looking down I saw Mr. Box Turtle, tho
original inventor of tho portablo house.
Ho had Just corno up from his long win
ter sleep 16 Inches underground, for tho
clay was still slicking to his bIicII, which
was thick and carved and covered with
bright yellow mnrks, somo of them like
tho letter "E". At tho upper end of
his plastron, as tho lower shell Is named,
was a flat piece of bone fastened by
a hlngo of muscle. He could draw his
hentl and front feet InRldc of this, shut
down tho ltd nnd ho safo from any ordi
nary attack This one wns Mr. because
ho had red nyes Mrs. T.'s eyes aro
usually yellow. This turtle Is fond of
berries nnd tender shoots nnd lettuce nnd
celery nnd will nlwnys ent enrth worms,
In the blackberry season you will some
times find Its head nnd front feet stained
with lierrv Juice. The box turtle mnkos
a good pet. It never bites nnd nftel It
becomes tamo does not oven tako tho
trouble to clnso Its lid. In fact, If It Is
well fed It becomes so fnt that It can't.
Tho box turtle Is hnlf wny between tho
turtle nnd tho tortoise. It lives on land,
llko n 'tortoise, nnd Is scared nearly to
dentil If It fnlls Into the wafer nnd scrab
bles along on the top llko a flontlng buoy.
Yot on Its h'nrt feet It has trncc- of tho
wohs which distinguish n turtle from n
tortoise nnd Is ranked with tho turtles.
Tho tortolso fnmllv, perhaps, begins to
branch off from tho turtles, when cer
tnln turtlei llko Muhlenberg's turtle,
which has a btnckflsli shelt nnd a bright
orango patch on ench ride of Its head,
learned to cat nut of water. Its mucin,
iho spotted turtle, whlrh enn bo told by
Its yellow-spotted shell, enn't do tlili
Then romen tho wood-turtle, which not
only can ent out of water, but has lenrncd
to wnnnor nrounrt In tno woods looKing
for ben-let nnd Inserts, thouch it It
perfectly nt homo In tho wnter. Tho
wood-turtlo haH a ridged shell and
brick-rod legs and neck. Bevond tho
box-turtlo comes tho truo tortoltfo which
ranges from our gopher lortolpo, which
digs so many burrows In tho Southern
States, up to tho giant tortoise of tho
Onlnpnuos Islnnds. Ono of these In tho
Now York Zooloclcnl Park wclghH 310
pounds. Is four fcot long nnd over 400
years old.
Ono day In New Jersey I hnd been off
ran lea hunting nnd had cnunht a king
(make, or "wamper," about five feet long.
On my wny to tho train I met nn old
negro who wns horr'flcd to seo mo carry
ing tho snnko nnd begged mo to throw
It away, telling mo that It wns "deadly
p'lson." Wo got to talking snakes, nnd
he told' mo of ono monstrous ono whoso
track ho had often found In the long
grass on his father's farm when a boy.
It wnB eo big nnd heavy that It pressed
tho grass down Into a hnrd, round pnth.
Ho hnd nover. however, seen tho snnko
Itself. The next week while hunting for
a meadow lark's nest In a field of long
grass I found Just such a path ns ho
described. I followed It to tho end and
found thero feeding nwny on the grnsn
the terrible snnkc. It wns a box-turtle.
When I was a boy wo used to cut tho
Initials "G. W.. 1770." on every box
turtlo we found, so If nny boy finds a
turtle with theso Initials, ho must not
decide too hurriedly thnt ho has dis
covered the pet turtle of tho Father of
his Country.

CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED
IN ROOSEVELT STRIKE TRIAL
Case Transferred From Middlesex to
Mercer County, N. J.
TRENTON, May 7. The Supreme Court
In an opinion handed down today, granted
the application of Attorney General John
W. Wescott for a foreign Jury to try tho
cases of the deputies Indicted in Middle
sex County for the Roosevelt strike mur
ders. "We think," said tho court, "that the
evidence In this case requires the con
clusion that a fair and Impartial trial
cannot be had before a Jury of Middle
sex County, We ore aware of the serious
nature of our action and are moat reluc
tant to take It."
The opinion further states that such a
course ought not to be pursued unless the
case is n clear one. "The newspaper clip,
pings submitted to us show that there Is
a disposition on the part of the publlo
press in New Brunswick to try the case
outside of the court room," the Supreme
Court declares, end adds that suoh a con
dition tends to inflame the publlo mind
against the State,
"We think, therefore, that a venire
should be Issued to the Sheriff of the ad
joining County of Meroer, in accordance
with Section 73 of the Criminal Procedure
Act," the decision concludes.

IT'S ALL GREEK TO GREEK
WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK
Main Question Now Is, Who Put
Money in Greek's Shoo?
Greek met Crock In a cigar factory at
4009 Qermantown uvenuc, and, as might
havo been expected according to tho old
proverb about such circumstances, some
thing happened. In this case It was a
mystery. Strats Stamus, chief Greek In
tho Greek drama, did not call It that, but
ho si.ld today that the matter was all
Greek to him.
Whnt, Indeed, was ho to think when,
after placing $500 In a bankbook, hiding
It on a shelf and putting $400 In another
passbook nnd hiding that on anothci
shelf, ho found $200 missing? He accused
Gus Louis, a fellow-Greek, of stealing the
money, only to find tho money In ono of
his own shoes under his own desk.
Gus Louis, 18 years old, came to this
country threo months ago and got a Job
in Stamus' factory. A few days ago
Stamus sold another factory for $000 and
put the money away as described. When
ho missed it. yesterday, ho called In
Policeman Kerwlck, of the RIdgo nnd
Midvalo avenues station, who arrested
the young. Innocent-looking Greek.
Today Gus faced Magistrate Orells, No
sooner wns tho case called than Stamus
and a lawyer whom he had brought with
him, Jumped up to ask that tho charges
bo withdrawn. No money had been found
on Gus' person or In his belongings.
That's all there Is to the story, except
tho mystery: Who put tho monoy In the
Greek's shoes?
AUTOISTS TOLD TO PROTEST
Members of Philadelphia Club Urged
to Fight License Increase.
Members of tho Automobile Club of
Philadelphia nro being urged to mako
further protest against tho proposed In
crcaso of 25 .per cent. In the llcenso fees
for Automobiles, in n letter sent out by S.
Boyer Davis, Bocretnry nnd treasurer of
the organization. A list of State Senators
and Representatives Is contained In tho
letter, nnd tho members are asked to
wrlto to them immediately and voico their
protest. Tho bill as first drafted pro
posed to double tho fees, but later this
wan reduced. It will havo Its third read
ing Monday night.
Mr. Davl says that an advance In the
fees would amount to class legislation
and thnt the fees aro as high as they
should be. Tho Increase, he says, does
not Insuio against a second ono nt a
future session of the Legislature.
Bank Official Improving
Chances for the recovery of William N.
Trexlcr, Jr., Increased during the night.
Tho receiving teller of the Industrial
Trust, Title and Savings Company, Front
street below Norrls, who was found In
tho basement of the bank building yes
terday with a bullet wound In his mouth,
gained consciousness early today. It was
said by physicians In St. Mary's Hospital.
He was took weak to talk, however, and
no new light has been shed on the shoot
ing to Indicate whether It was an acci
dent or an attempt to commit suicide.
No questions can be asked the wounded
man for perhaps several days, it was
said, because of the danger of a relapse.
