"We should encourage the IncreuBC of

SOUGHT AS "RAFFLES''
Continued from rnlte one
nnny nt Mahwnh. Ho was Jl years old
then. Ho was the delight of Ihe town.
His dancing was only equaled by the ex
quisite finish ot his nttlre, for from his
thln-soled dancing pumps to hs Interest
ing, well-groomed crinkly hair, brushed
straight back, "college boy style," lio was
entirely fascinating to the girls of
Mnhwnli.
Ho had deepest, glowing, bronn eyes
nnd a fine pink skin; he had all the latent
slnng slang that was so fresh nnd ne.v
that only conilnnl visits to the Winter
Harden cbuld explain his marvelous vo.
enmuary. He was the constant "screnm '
of tho tango tens that ho hastened to ns
soon as his ilnlly lesson In the foundry
company's oulces wos over.
The 1 n day ho got for this "lesson"
Could hardly bo expected to cover Ms
expenses, but men "fell for" Morris nnd
his social charms ns well as nil manner
of womcli folk, nnd lent him money reck
lessly. lnsl summer there were nine mjster
lou8 robberies In Mnhwnli, all in n row.
They did not seem to be tho work of
"professionals," thoiiRh the weroclcv
criy enough executed.
The great blow fell on New Year's eve.
The home nf Councilman Krnnk C, Dntor
was entered and sllverwnre, Jewelry nnd
other articles, nil valued nt J200, were
stolen. Mrs. DeVlne, wife of a Krcc
holdcr, who lives next door, heard the
burglars about S o'clock nnd a number
ot other neighbors saw two men leave
the-house artd drive away In a sleigh.
Constatilo Truman Itodgcrs was notltlcd
by telephone. On the way to Mr. Dator'a
liouso lie met Pcppermnn nnd n compan
ion, and the young man, who "knew
eerhody," spoke to him.
"Hello, Pep," said the constable they
nil called him "Pep" because ho had so
much "pep" "Hello, Pep, did you see
two well-dressed young fellows pass you
In - sleigh?"
"bure," replied "Pep." Il&hting n clgnr
ctto, "they Just passed up the ronit nnd
you had bcttotnot waste your time nlth
us here." The constnbla hurried nuiy nnd
was very much grieve' n few minutes
later to lonrn that "Pep," whom he was
so proud to know, had deceived him. For
Mr. Dator's neighbors said it wns no
other than "Pep" who lint como out nt
the house. Kenneth IJurgcss wns snld to
have been with him.
FOIL. PURSUI3KS.
Thnt night "Pep" nnd his friend ills
appeared and they have not been seen
since. It Is believed thnt they hno taken
a 'vessel for Soutli America. Warrants
were Issued for both of them. Pcppermnn
nnd Ilurgess wcro Inst neon, carrying
bags, at 11M5 o'clock the night of the
Dntor burglary. The former had boarded
nt Bulfcrn nnd they sold, on Icnvlng Suf
fern on an Krle train, that they wcro
going to Jersey City.
When the huo and cry went out the
Jersey City pollen wcro notified, but the
young men did not go to Jersey City.
Whc.ro they left the train Is not known.
Justice of tho Peace P-odgcrs, of Mnh
wah, went to New York to Interview W.
Leon Pcppermnn. uncle of tho young
fugitive, nbout htm. Mr. Peppcrman
denies some of the details of this Inter
view ns reported by Justlca Itodgcrs.
STOblON GOODS ItETUnNnD.
Itodgcrs says ho went to Manhattan nnd
saw Mr. Peppcrman at his home. 4 West
r.7th stiect, and told his story, Tho rail
nay director, he says, was shocked, and
told tho Justice that he did not know
whero his nephew was at that time, but
promised to get him to Mahwah in a few
days.
Two days later, tho Justice continues.
Mr. Peppcrman, who had ovldontly found
what had becomo of tho stolen nrticlcs,
brought tho larger pnrt back to Mahwah
and restored them to tho owner. Mr.
Pcppermnn, It Is said, admitted that hn
had found his nephew and had compelled
him to tell what ho had dono with tho
things, which were recovered from a
pawnshop on 7th avenue. Now York city,
nnd Included silverware and n gold
watch, it was said,
"You promised to bring the boy with
you." tho Justice snld he suggested to
Mr. Pepperman.
"Oh, we have decided to Bhlp him to
South America," Mr. Pcpporman is re
ported to have replied. "His mother is
seriously 111 In Philadelphia, and wo wore
fearful lest tho news of her son's trouble
or nrrest might kill her."
"Was Morris ever In trouble before?"
Justlceu Hodgers say ho asked.
"No, but wo had two men watching
him all tho time." Mr. Tcpporman Is re

foundations, which perpetuate tho names
of Hockofclier, C.trnrglo and Kussell
Sago, be.ir witness to the Importance of
specialized learning ns over against prac
tice. "It Is strange that thl Important truth
lins been so neglected among us In tho
sphere of theology. Thero hrvo been few
notable nnd no princely gifts on behalf of
the higher theological learning, and fewer
than elsewhere in our Church. Nor Is
tbcio oiio nmo.ig nil our seminaries that
attempt!! deliberately nnd on r.:iy ade
quate scale to produce f.chcrs and
scholars.
IiESSON IN CATHOMC C1IUP.CH.
"Wo ought to take a lesson from tho
Church or Home no less than from tho
Church of England. It Is probably true
that the average Roman priest is oven less
of a scholar and thinker than the nvcrngc
priest with us; but ho does not need to
bo other and more than ho Is. 11 y a
practical training greatly more protracted
and moic detailed thnn anything we can
boast, ho Is schooled nnd drilled to tho
highest efficiency ns a captain In Ihe
ranks. The field officers in that religious
body, the men who nro to bo Its specialists
as prenehers. as organizers nnd as edu
cators, are prepared In very different
schools, and are trained by n singularly
laborious, wise nnd exacting course, for
tho posts of leadership for which their
nntlvo gifts lit them. In nil this wo are
centuries behind the Church of nomc.
And If thero is nn thing In the cry that
alarms us now and ngnln, that tho
Church of Romo Is threatening to capture
tho first place in Influence In our land,
It Is chlclly due to the ndmlrnblo skill
and wisdom which alio shows In picking
nnd preparing men for leadership In her
ministry. Without boing alarmists, wo
might well borrow n leaf from this book.
"Tho present seems a singularly apt
moment to launch such an undertaking
ns ours. Vor tho world situation demands
it quite ns much ns the local sltuntlon.
Tho few scholars whom we could boast
of In our ministry have, in tho past, for
the most part, sought their higher learn
ing abroad-ln England or In Oermany,
And tho great war is bringing about a
marked change In this respect, by which
theology will be "greatly affected. There
Is no question that German scholarship
lias been easily predominant In the
learned circles of America for many
m
LJ
years. It will be less so tn the future,
nightly or wrongly, all things 'made In
Oormany' will be subjected to a mare
exacting scrutiny. The latest word of
tho proressor at Leipzig or Herlln will
carry less weight. It Is a curious fact
thnt America has produced tew. If any,
theological thinkers or scholars of In
ternational eminence. Present conditions
will surely bo a stimulus to American
Independence In learning of every sort,
and not least in theology.
"It seems clear, too, that the productive
ness of England nnd Prance nnd Germany
In higher learning will be gravely affected
by tho war. Tho best of their youth
those out of whom one might hope to sec
new Hnrnncks nnd Duchesncs nnd San
days ilevelopcd-nre laying down their
tlves on the field of battle. The Rrcat met
ropolitan Diocese of London recently
served notice that no able-bodied young
man would bo received as n candidate for
orders In the present crisis. And if any
of theso joung men of promise escape the
bullet nnd the poisoned gas, wilt they not
be urgently needed, ns were tho ablest of
our youth ntlcr the Civil Wnr, In the
nppalllng tnsk of material reconstruction
which awaits the nations when peace
shall come? It seems plain, then, that
for some years European scholarship must
suffer eclipse; nnd that if the torch of
science and learning Is not to flicker nnd
fall, It must bo caught and carried for
ward by American hands. Thus, for the
ological learning In this country there Is,
tomorrow, an unexampled opportunity.
We dare not face it In nny spirit of self
grntulatlon: It Is a heavy responsibility.'

ished breakfast. Ho noted a rather more
pretentious collection of classics than the
average minister possesses and was com
menting upon the discovery of a "Life of
Jesus" when ho enmo upon a collection of
Ingersoll's writings.
Then ho hit upon one ot Riddle's five
Bibles nnd wns skimming through the
nnges when Btddle came In with a rat
tling volley of scriptural quotations,
winding up with his creed: "Let him
without sin cast the (lrst stone "
"Ixt not your heart be troubled,"
Cnrdlff countered, and then they went
downstairs, put on the gym togs and went
nt It hnmmcr nnd tongs.
Mnyor Illddlo had the longer reach and
landed somo good wallops, but ho began
to tire nfter tho first lound nnd Cardiff
gave him rights nnd lefts it n henrty
fashion unlit tho Mayor was blowing like
a grampus. A moving picture machine
nnd a battery of cameras caught every
move.
"Make no mistake about this man Rid
dle," Cardiff said nfter tho wind-up.
"He's n live member nnd if ever ho hits
tho trait there will be a muscular Chris
tian on the Job."
