10 "MONEY CANNOT HELP VIOLATOR OF LAW"--KUNKEL Refunding ot' Stolen Funds Will Not Procure Leniency Says Court SIX MONTHS FOR YOUTHS [Youthful Husband Tells Story of Lasl Word That Caused Separation i "\1 must understand that money cannot lidp the man who commits crime!" President Judge Kunkel this morn ing thus emphatically answered the plea for clemency for Larry Slpe, a 23-year-old Hoyalton youth. The young man's counsel declared that Sipe would willingly show his peni tence by refunding the money he was convicted of having stolen. "It is a wrong notion of the char acter of the offense to think that the law may be satislied by the paying back of the money," continued the court. Nor did he give serious consider ation to counsel's further plea that a sentence would not further the ends of justice. Attorney Maurice Metzger counsel for Sipe, declared that the law probably intended the first offender to have a chance. Leniency, he said, might offer the youth an opportunity to lead an upright life hereafter. "What's to prevent one who has answered to the law for violating it, from leading an upright life there after?" inquired Judge Kunkel. The Penalty of the Law Sipe was sentenced to six months in jail and $5 fine. The youth with Ethan Crider, aged 17, was arrested for robbing Burgess Henry Granger of about S3O. Slpe stationed Crider outside Granger's little candy store to wutch, while he, Sipe, slipped around to the house and purloined the cash box. Crider's duty was to engage the burgess' at tention while the crime was being carried out. Crider pleaded guilty and turned State's evidence. This. J coupled with the lad's youth and the fact that it was his first offense, ob tained him a suspension of sentence. He was placed under S3OO ball, how ever, and directed to appear at March sessions. In Desertion Court The sentences were imposed prior to the opening of January desertion court this morning. The chief case, in desertion court was the suit of Mrs. William 11. Sparver against her husband for sup- I port for herself and baby. Sparver it appeared hadn't con tributed anything to her support since 'way back in September. The Sparv ers lived with Mrs. Sparver's par ents, the youthful husband paying nothing for his wife and $4 a -week I'or himself. Once or twice, accord ing to his tearful wife, he gave her S2. Sparver left one day when his vife indignantly packed his trunk. The Last Word A little "fuss" about the baby, ac-' cording to Sparver caused the final rupture between the young husband «md his wife. They frequently "had arguments." he said. The last how ever. developed when Sparver was about to take the baby out for an air ing. lie tilted the babv coach, he said, whereupon Mrs. Sparver "bawl ed him out" while a lot of people were passing. "She was afraid I'd tilt the baby out. I suppose," he said. "And when | '1 heard her I just turned around and I taid: '• 'Aw-bull!' "That started the last argument," finished Sparver. The court directed him to pay $5 a "week. Closed Season on Quail a Possibility Prediction that a closed season for quail in Pennsylvania to preserve the birds now remaining in the State might be necessary as the result of the fed eral government Quarantine against, importation of quail was made to-day by Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of Ihe State Game Commission. Word was received at the office of the com mission to-day that all importations bad been stopped because of a disease which was killing off domestic quail and which it is believed has been brought into this country. The order will prevent shipment of from 9.000 to 10,000 quail from Mex ican norts to Philadelphia, this num ber having been engaged for shipment by the State Game Commission for re plenishing the quail in Pennsylvania. About 500 are in transit. Dr. Kalbfus stated that only sixteen of the last 200 imported from Mexico were alive, the others having suc cumbed to the quail disease.

HETRJCK6 GEISTWHITE 19 S. FOURTH ST. ' MONDAY EVENING, RAILROADS ELECTRIC ENGINE WITH SMOKESTACK Mammoth Locomotive En route to New York From San Francisco The mammoth Pennsylvania railroad electric locomotive on exhibition at Sun Francisco exposition is enroute east. It was scheduled to pass through Harrisburg or Enola this afternoon or to-morrow. The engine had not reached Altoona up to noon to-day. This electric engine Is the only one carrying a smokestack. Previous to going West It was used in the hauling of trains through the Hudson river tunnel. The mechanical parts were built at the Altoona shops, and the engine was constructed by the West inghouse company. This engine has traveled 120,000 miles and was award ed the grand prize. The reason for the smokestack is that the Pennsylvania and Westing house companies, wishing to insure its safe and prompt return from San Francisco, have sent with it a. personal tracer, and in order to afford hint comfort when passing through severe storms which have recently been en countered a cab was erected, iu which was included a small coal stove, hence the smokestack. The locomotive is rated at 4,000- horse power and Is the largest electric locomotive ever built for passenger service. It is built in two units and weighs 156 tons, and will haul a heavy Pullman train at a speed of 60 miles an hour.

The Vernon children will likely go to the Shimmell school next Monday and to-day and | to-morrow an Inventory of the books I needed will be taken. State and city authorities are con tinuing their inquiry to discover the persons who fired the Shimmell. Ver non and Forney buildings, but as yet they have met with no success. Clue after clue has been run down and parties have been questioned, but in each case the authorities have found they have been on the wrong trail. The case is becoming one of the most baffling which has ever confronted local authorities and no hopes are given that any arrests will be made. Early yesterday morning the sound ing of three fire alarm boxes called out department apparatus and made | the police uneasy, for although it is supposed that crossed wires caused the alarms, there is no positive assurance of tliis. The boxes were not opened and it is said that an alarm can be sounded without opening them. Aux iliary boxes, connected with the street boxes, were examined to-day, but they were not tampered with. Women Discovered Blaze The tire in the Vernon school was first sighted by two women, employed in a nearby bakery. They were on tlicir way home at 2.n0 o'clock Thurs day morning. When they reached Sev enteenth and Holly streets they could see the flames in the interior of the building. They saw only one man in the vicinity and that was a railroad man hurrying across Seventeenth street in the direction of the Phila delphia and Reading railroad tracks. They called to him that the building was burning, but he did not stop. He shouted to them that "they better in vestigate" and lie kept on his way. The two women ran to Fifteenth and Holly streets. One remained at that corner while the other started for the fire alarm box at Fifteenth and Derry streets. There she found Patrolman Hicks and told him to send in an alarm. A railroad man told some firemen at the Shimmell building that the Vernon building was burning: and it is believed that this man is the same one seen by the two women. The women do not. believe, by the man's actions, that he j knew the buildings were set afire, but an effort is being made to learn his identity. Threaten Penbrook School? A rumor was circulated about the city this mornlnrr to the effect that Postmaster Hoover, at Penbrook, was In receipt of on anonymous letter say ing that within two weeks the school building at Penbrook would be de stroyed by fire or dynamite.

Wisdom, working with sympathy, for eten the lowest type, most in need of help. As Josh Billings said, you know I think he was a pretty good philoso pher, Billings said you could be a wise serpent or a harmless dove and be perfectly useless. "But what impressed me about this court was that it is neither serpent wise nor dove harmless and useless, but showed a deep sympathy in its | work and organization which avoids mawkish sentimentality without be coming hardened to its work. "I was Immensely impressed by the ! personnel of the court, the attendants [and all connected with it. But of all those whom I saw the one whose work 'appeared most indispensable was Mrs. Rippin, She is the kind of a public servant for whose very existence, not only Philadelphia, but the United States, should be profoundly thank ful." "Dear me, I was very glad foT the opportunity to show Colonel Roosevelt the work we are doing here and how we are doing- it, but what wouldn't 1 give for what he has in here," said Mrs. Rlppln tapping her head. "The way he grasps a situation and the font of experience he has to draw upon, is simply marvelous."
