His Arrest

Among Men Cheated by Un

Miss Amy O. Wright, New Superintendent of the Women's
Detention Building of the Municipal Court, Well
Fitted for Her Present Position
By M'LISS
Her father was twice Mayor of Prince
ton, N'. J , and a Judge of Mercer County ;
all her life she has moed In the rarefied
atmosphere' breathed by college professors
and Intellectuals; President Wilson and the
first Mrs. Wilson were her friends and yet
when I asked her to tell me nbout her
new work which has to do with the lowly,
fallen girl, and necessitates her living In the
Tenderloin, Miss Amy C. Wright spread her
patrician hands out enthusiastically and
said:
"It's the most Interesting thing I could
possibly have undertaken.,"
Miss Wright has been recently appointed
the superintendent of the women's deten
tion building of the Municipal Court, at
Twelfth and Wood streets. Under the su
pervision of her kindly eye girl offenders
of all types, but chiefly girls of the street,
await the time set for their appearance in
court, and ofttlmes recuperate morally and
physically in one of the bright, clean wards
of the building after that appearance.
When Judge Charles L Brown was con
sidering applicants for this very responsible
position, requiring for Its successful re
tention a woman of Infinite tact, patience
and humanness, President Wilson took time
from the pressing matters of state to write
him this about Miss Wright:
"I have known Miss Amy C. Wright and
have from time to time followed her career
for the last thirty years. It gives me great
pleasure to express entire confidence both
In her character and-abllity. - Her -ability.
Indeed, has been abundantly tested and can
be testified to by those who have been as
sociated with her in the work to which she
has devoted herself."
"I met President Wilson in my own home,
just as you would any other friend of your
family's." Mlse Wrlfcht said In tones that
glowed with admiration for the first man
of flu country. "I knew him when he was
president of Princeton and Governor of
New Jersey He has written to me since
he has b:en In Washington, but all this Is
unseemly," she added modestly, "and really
has nothing whatever to do with my work
here
"That work? I have already found It in
tensely interesting. You see, I come from
Haerford where I vas the housekeeper for
good hoys, and now I am the superin
tendent of 'bad' girls" she smiled nt the
use of the word ."but, really, there's so
much bad In the best of us. and so much
good In the worst of us, that it doesn't be
hoove the rest of us to speak 111 of any of
us. .
"I am an apostle of the kindly word,"
she continued, "my short experience with
the girls here there are twenty now has
shown mo how much they react to it. Per
haps one of the reasons why they are here
Is because they have never had that kindly
word. I don't believe a great deal In harsh
ness, even when an extreme case seems to
demand it. I don't think It works I believe
that broadmlndedness, tolerance and a good
example are the best weapons for handling
human nature of any type.
"I, too, am a Presbyterian like the
President," Miss Wright said humorously,
"but I don't believe In Imposing any rigid
restrictions on the girls' amusements here.
I thoroughly sympathize with their desire
to dance and play games, even cards, and
I can tell you that almost the first time
we turned the talking machine on since I
have been here, I discovered that there are
some excellent dancers among the girls "
The new superintendent Is of motherly
appearance, a motherllness professionalized
by the white nurse-like uniform that she
wears, but losing none of Its merit thereby.
This you learn the minute she talks to you
Jn the quiet, flrm tones of one who much
prefers acting to talking. She Is not a
suffragist, nor a Democrat.
"I haven't time for the former," she said,
"and as for the latter well, I'm for the
best man "
The best man, somehow or other, you
feel. Is the man whose tribute In his In
dorsement of her is one that any woman
might well be proud of

French and Belgian Munitions Inspectors Talking on
Market Street, With Usual Elaborate Gestures,
Are Mobbed as German Spies
Policeman Jesse Forbes, attached to the
Fifty-fifth and Pine streets station, who
was arrested last Saturday, accused of con
fiscating $235 from a gaming table In the
rooms of the Legion Republican Club, 5027
Market street, today cleared up some of
the mystery attached to his visit to that
place.
Forbes also announced th,at he would In
stitute a suit for damages for false arrest
This BUlt, Forbes said today, would be
directed against William Black, president
of the Legion Republican Club
Forbes laughed today when asked about
the published stories that he had sacrificed
himself to expose gambling conditions in
West Philadelphia He said that he was
a policeman at heart and that he liked his
Job too well. Persons familiar with the
case today also ridiculed the published
story that factional politics figure In the
present case
According to Forbes's frank admission,
he went to the club while in full uniform
but off duty He was accompanied by a
friend, Both engaged In a game of dice
In one of the rooms of the club. In the
midst of the game, Forbes said today, he
discovered that the dice were "loaded." Ac
cording to Forbes, he picked up the alleged
"loaded dice" and started to walk out.
when he alleges Black threatened him with
a blackjack
"When this fellow Black tried to smasn
me over the head with a Jack." said Torbcs,
"I decided to protect inytelf, and drew my
gun. It Is true that I took possession of
all the money that was on the table But
It Is a Joke to read the story that I placed
about $200 In a sack, which I throw over
my shoulder, and. while pointing my re
volver at the crowd, walked out of the
place and then went to Wlldwood to enjoy
myself with the money.
"When I did do was to call over the men
who lost their money with crooked dice,
and then I distributed the money among
them I still hae the crooked dice In my
possession. It Is not true that my visit to
tho club has any political significance. I
like my Job too well to sacrifice It "
Xelther Superintendent of Police Robin
son nor Director Wilson hae as yet received
a report on the case. ForbeVs superiors
said today that after the hearing of tho
policeman Is disposed of tomonow, chi-ges
will be prefeircd against him for conduct
unbecoming an officer.
Police Sergeant Dickinson, of the Flfty
flf(h and Pino streets station, said today
that Forbes was a model officer.
Black was held In $300 ball for a further
hearing today for carrying concealed
weapons. Black was nrrested early today
at Fifty-second and Market streets, after
It is alleged ho had threatened Kdward K
Forbes, a younger brother of Policeman
Forbes. .
DISCUSS EDGE FOR SENATE
TRENTON July 23. Stories published
today that Oovcrnor Edge would probably
oppose- Colonel Austen Colgate, of New
ark, and former Governer H C Stokes, of
this city. In the next Republican primary
for the United States Senatorshlp were
discussed In political circles here with great
Interest. An effort to obtain an interview
with Goernor Edge, however was fruitless,
his secretary, Francis E Croatdale, saying
that the Governor was too busy with the
war situation at this time to discuss poli
tics.
It Is believed here that the Governor
may be found In tho primary race. He Is
Known to oe politically amDitious ana a
seat In the United Senaee his age forty
four would, It Is declared, appeal strong
ly to his political aspirations.
The European method of street nrgument,
with Its generous accompaniment of gesture,
high-pitched repartee- nnd tragic faclar ex
presslons, proved disastrous for Gustave
Nlrby, a French Government munitions in
spector, and Edward Rypen, a Belgian Gov
ernment Inspector, both stationed at the Ed
dystone Munition Works.
The two men met at Fifteenth and Market
streets today, and, after the European cus
tom, embraced and kissed warmly. This
little Incident aroused the curiosity of sev
eral passersby, and excited the militant in
terest of a waste-paper collector of Irish
extraction. Tho latter paused In the act of
raising a barrel of waste paper to his cart,
Ho sat the barrel down with a thud on the
sidewalk, placed his huge hands on his hips
and allowed an expression of g.'tat disgust
to creep over his face
Right here Monsieur Nlrby began talking
about the war, and he found a ready listen
er in his Belgian friend There was not
tho slightest argument between them and
certainly not the slightest feeling of ani
mosity But It was soon apparent that the
nverage American mind finds It Impossible
to understand how two men can fling their
hands Into each other's facci, raise their
voices to Patrick Henry pitch nnd still re
main neutral on the subject of "fight."
A circle quickly formed about the nestle
ulators "German spies, that's what I think they
are Ir they ain't talkln' high Dutch, then
I m a liar," observed the waste-paper col
lector He sput on the sidewalk to empha
slzo his statements, and then folded his
two huge, red, hairy arms.
The audience was not pleasing to Mon
sleur Mtby, nnd he glared at the Inter,
rupter and hurled a torrent of choice
rrcnen ai mm.
"There, what did I tell yer- Fald the
waste - paper collector, appealing to the
crowd "Didn't I tell you they were Ger
rnar. spies? Did you hear him lnsulv the
American flag' I know a little Dutch
myself." t

the conversation where ho had broken oft.
But the Americanism of the waste-paper
collector had been thoroughly aroused He
placed a huge hand on the shoulder of the
