PERJURY CHARGE STICKS Prosecutor Kefers to Prisoner Discarded Victim of "System,'' Sacrificed to Protect One of Its Pillars. NEW YORK. March 35. The first conviction in the District Attorney's crusade against grafters In the police department was obtained this after noon. John J. Hartlgan. a patrolman, was found guilty of perjury. Hartifran acted as agent for high po lice officials to bribe witnesses against them to leave the state. Hartlgan was alluded to by District Attorney Whitman In summing up as a discarded victim of the "system" sacri ficed to protect one of its pillars. The prosecutor referred to Dennis Sweeney, the demoted inspector, who awaits trial on 13 tfi-aft Indictments, as the man for whom Hartlgan had perjured himself. Uhltmoa Arraia-aa "Syateni." "Sweeney Is standing- like a rock." Mr. Whitman cried, "with the 'system' back of him, declaring to the world that ho never tank a cent. Sweeney is the man that haa put this young policeman where he is. There never was a more perfect picture of the 'system' than you have before vou." Hartlsan. according to the prosecu tion, worked directly for Sweeney, aid ing the "system" In bribing George A. Sipp. an Informer, to leave the Jurisdic tion of the New York courts. The charge of perjury against Hartlgan arose from his denial before the grand Jury that he carried the bribe money from Sweeney to Police Captain Walsh. Levy of Tribute Denied. Hartigan reiterated this denial as a witness In his own defense today. He paid he did not carry an envelope from Sweeney to Walsh, but that when he called at Walsh's home, at, the Cap tain's request, Walsh, from his sick bed, handed him the envelope with in structions to take It to Policeman Fox, who later pleaded guilty In connection with the police grart cnarges. The District Attorney employed the opportunity of Sweeney's appearance under oath to question him concerning his alleged guilt as a grafter. He named varlou resorts and asked Sweeney if lie levied tribute upon them. To every query Sweeney responded negatively. Hartlgan appeared daxed by the ver dict. He was remanded for senteno on Tuesday. providing the best registered Holsteln cows to be had In the country, has commenced at the Eastern Oregon State Hospital.

Worn Out by Hardships Endured bj Her Ute With Alleged "Society" Burglar, Woman Presents Pitiful Appearance. CHICAGO. March 13. Worn out by her troubles and the hardships caused by the condition of destitution in which she has been living since she ran away from her husband, Mrs. Mabel Clark son, the mission worker, returned to Chicago today from Milwaukee. Mrs. Clarkson was almost over whelmed with disappointment when a hurried scanning of faces at the station failed to show her husband In the throng. The shock was so great that It was feared the woman would col lapse. She had been informed that her husband and the couple's five children would be on band to receive her at the station. Spouse la Deserted Christmas. Mrs. Clarkson, whose husband Is Rev. Nestor K. Clarkson, left her husband and her children last Christmas with Owen D. Conn, the alleged "society" burglar, now under arrest In San Fran c'.sco. , "I have come back penitent and with a sad heart to ask my husband's for giveness," she said as she stepped from the railway train. "If my husband refuses to take me back. I shall become a mlslonary." Rev. Mr. Clarkson said he had de cided not to forgive his wife, but might change his mind after a personal In terview with her. Mrs. Clarkson declared she left her husband because of the strict conduct which he required from he r and the children. Though she was a missionary and loved the work, even designing the uniforms which his corps of subordinate slum workers wore, she said she loved to see "real life." "Why once I took the children to a picture show and Mr. Clarkson raved about it," she said. Conn Met at Prison. Her acquaintance with Conn began while she was a mission worker visit ing the prisons and grew into friend ship through her meeting his sister and his declared intention to reform. "He worked on my feelings until I believed nearly everything he said, Mrs. Clarkson declared. "I believed he meant to be good and he took so much Interest in me when my husband and I quarreled that I fin ally yielded to him and ran away." Mrs. Clarkson denied emphatically that she was Infatuated with the burg lar. She blamed her husband and de clared her life at home had been un endurable. A meeting between Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson probably will take place to morrow. Soon after Mrs. Clarkson's arrival her husband sent her a message, say ing he could not see her today, but would meet her tomorrow. Friends of Mrs. Clarkson have In vited her to come to their homes and stay as long as she likes. "I suppose I'll be scolded and prayed over," she said, discussing her probable return to the band of mission workers of which her husband is the leader. "But I'll be safe anyhow.'.' 1 1 v n.

Ross, a five and ten-cent store man, paid low wages because the girls he employed used his store as a mere training school in salesmanship. They generally left him as soon as they grasped the rudiments of salesmanship, he said. Edward C. Heidrick, president of the Peoria Cordage Company, was also a witness and asked his son to assist in answering questions. Eighty girls are employed by the concern, at a minimum of 6 a week. Mr. Heidrick said he did not know what It would cost a girl to live In Peoria, but his son said the girls could live on S6 a week. "I mean It's enough to keep them from going wrong," he said. Young- Man Cause Smile. Heidrick. the younger, volunteered the information that while In college in the East a thorough investigation of the cause of the social evil was made and It showed that the chief causes of the downfall of women were drinking and lax divorce laws. The committee smiled at the seriousness of the young man. The women of the tenderloin who were examined Invariably included low wages among the reasons for immor ality, but did not believe this was the sole cause. One woman, a denizen of the underworld for 22 years, said the main cause was the craving ot girls for companionship. This craving left them open to the temptations of the world, she said. Lonely Homes Are Cause. Another reason was unhappiness at home. "In our life they find companionship at least." she said. "I would say that nine out of ten girls fall because they are lonely. At home, when the home Is poor, as It usually Is, their wages are taken from them. They cannot dress to go among others. They are victims of the humdrum life, and our life to them seems to offer a way out." "G. B."

A passion for war seems to be sweeping over all the countries of Europe. The Balkan states have found a field of expression for their militancy, but are expend ing: their energies In warlike prepara tions. The small states are Involved equally with the greater powers, and today France. Germany, Austria, Rus sia, BelKium and Switzerland arc 'tak ing: serious count of their military preparedness. Belgium is raising her army from a war footing- of 100,000 to 150,000 men. Baron de Broqueville, the Belgian Min ister of "War, In concluding: a speech on this siihiprt before 'the Belgian Chamber, urged that the army increase be voted as quickly as possible, for the sake of "Belgian security and honor." A'ewspapem "Warn Swiss. The most Important newspapers of Switzerland are publishing the offi cial notices of the government, warn ing Swiss citizens residing In Euro pean countries to hold themselves In readiness to return Immediately In the event of war, and Swiss living in the United States have been requested to stand ready to come back to Switzer land on call. The Swiss Republic, un der Its present military organization, could put Into the field 100,000 men li. 24 hours, and 200,000 in 48 hours. One third ot the government's revenues are spent on military objects. In case of supreme necessity, the government ex pects to-be able to place 275.000 men under arms within a week. The French Cabinet has adopted a measure extending the term of service in the army from two to three years; this adds something over 200,000 men to the peace footing of the army. "Every Frenchman." said M. Cheron, official analyst of the appropriations committee of the Chamber of Deputies, in a recent address, "must at the pres ent moment fix his attention upon the military activity on the other side of the frontier." He then compared Ger many's expenditures on her army with the expenditures of France during the past 10 years. S4.000 Recruit Added by Bill. - The cost of the German army had augmented constantly until now it was double that of France. Next year, under the new German law, tne outlay on the army would be $100,000,000 more than that of France. The new German military bill will add 84.000 recruits to the army, giving a total of 806,000 men, excluding offi cers. Compared to this France, includ ing the latest numerical increase, has a total of 578,783 men in her army on a peace footing, excluding officers. Land Campaign Postponed. LOXPOX. March 15. (Special.)
