containing the address of the fornur

When the Magistrate heard this
story he was deeply moved and con
sented to release the prisoner under
$100 bail, the lowest amount permis
sible under the law. The prisoner

They are full of human interest
and unusual enoueh to satisfy the
that he became a Christian and a bet

owed to that minister and when he

Bad been stolen from a drugstort on
Third Avenue. At the hearing in
the Jefferson Market Court it was
ascertained that the prisoner hai
nee been one of the most distinguish
ed and most eloquent ministers of the
Southern Methodist Conference. He
was in charge of one of the richest
ehtrrches of New Orleans and for ten
rtwelve years was considered one of
the most powerful evangelists of the
South. But his health gave way un
der the strain of his work. He began
to drink, retired from the ministrv
and became a tramp.
Two months ago he turned up in
toxicated one night at the old Jerrv
HcAuley Mission in Water street.
He was urged to tell his experience.
The conductor of the Mission did not
Snow him, believing hira to be one of
the usual Bowery derelicts. The ex
minister arose and began speaking.
Soon he became sober under the ck-
titement of the moment and his words
ed the bond for the prisoner and left
the court with him.
Another interesting story of a
strong human interest culminated the
other day in an impressive ceremony
by which a regenerated drunkard and
tramp was ordained minister of the
Presbyterian church. The man was
born in Pennsylvania, the son of well-
to-do parents and graduated from
Princeton University with the degree
of Ph. D. After having been ordain
ed a Presbyterian minister, he was
appointed to a pastorate at Reynolds
ville. and then at Tyrone, Pa. He
then went to the Oxford Presbyterian
Church in Philadelphia, where his
wife died. Her loss and his subse
quent loneliness caused him to drink,
first moderately, then a great deal.
Ten years ago he was addicted to the
drinking habit to such an extent that
he resigned the ministry. For sever
al years he lived the life of a tramp,
sinking lower and lower, drifting
from one place to another and finally
landing in New York. Four years ag)
he was arrested one night in Chatham

AMAZING NUMERS ARE
KILLED IN WAR
PEACE SOCIETY SECRETARY
SAYS THKY FIGURE UP
INTO BILLIONS.
CHICAGO. May l.-Amasing
statistics will be presented to the Na
tional Peajre Society, which convenes
here Monday, by Benjamin F. True
blood, secretary of the American
Peace Society. In a report compiled
for distribution among the delegate,
it is asserted that fifteen billion per
sons have sacrificed themselves in
wars since the beginning of authentic
history.
"This vast number of victims," says
Mr. Trueblood. "is about equal to a'l
the people who inhabited the glohe
for the last six hundred years, allow
ing three generations to the century
and 650,000,000 estimated population
of the world at thej opening of lth
century as the average population per
generation.
"The usual estimate of the number
of men lost in the wars in 19th cen
tury, including those who died M
wounds and diseases, places it at 14.
000.000. Of this nnmber the Napol
eonic campaigns are responsible for
about six million. Losses in the
American Civil War have been var
iously estimated at from 800,000 to !
000.000 men. The brief war between
Prussia; Austria and Italy in 1866 en
tailed a loss of 45,000 men."
Mr. Traeblood also gives figur-s
governing the cost of war from a fi
nancial standpoint
"The figures." he said, "are stag
gering and probably would be more
so if they could be fully obtainel.
Only approximate correctness is
claimed for the following statements.
"The Napoleonic campaign, cover
ing 19 years, cost $15,000,000,000, the
British-American war in 1812-1814,
$300,000,000; the Crimean war 1854 to
1856, $166.00ff,00a American Civil
War $13,000,000,000 and the Prussian
Austrian war of 1866. $325,000,000."
The national debts of the world
powers, Mr. Trueblood estimates at
$34,633,154,000.
"The. significance of this vast sum.
the interest on which is over $1,000,
000,000 a year," he says, "is that prac
tically the whole is chargeable to war
and militarism"

narrowly .escaped death in various
forms. He was crossing Railroad
Avenue, White Plains, which was
crowded with vehicles, and jumped
out of the way of a carriage, only to
get in front of a trolley car- He made
a desperate leap to escape the trolley
car and landed almost in front of a
speeding automobile. Only another
desperate leap saved him from being
run down. The 6ld man had almost
reached safety, when a young man,
riding a bicycle ran him down- His
head struck the pavement and he died
an hour later at the hospital.
Habitual criminals, who have the
misfortune of falling into the hands
of the authorities have little clemency
to expect from the courts in this citv.
A man who recently pleaded guiltv
to a charge of burglary was sentenc
ed to imprisonment for a period of
forty-two years at Sing Sing. It ap
peared that the prisoner had served
several terms for burglary and had
committed nearly one hundred bur
glaries since he had been released
from prison the last time. His meth
od had been to stupefy his intends !
victim by illuminating gas. before he
robbed their apartments and several
persons had narrow escapes from
leath as the result of breathing the
gas.

1L FIGHT THEATRE
TRUST, HE SAYS
LEE SHUBERT SAYS THE NEW
COMBINATION WILL NOT
AFFECT PLANS.
NEW YORK, May l.-The Shu
berts today defied combined force
of Klaw and Erlanger. David Bclas
co and Harrison Grey Fiske in the
interesting 6ght which is promised
for the theatrical business next sea
son. Regarding the agreement which
Bclasco and Fiske reached with Klaw
and Erlanger, Lee Shubert had this
to say: "Whatever Belasco, Fiske an!
Klaw and Erlanger may do does not
affect me. as the matter is absolutely
indifferent to us. The Shuberts are
strong enough'to go it alone without
any assistance from anyone and we
certainly are going to do it. Thit
move on the part of the syndicat;
could not have found us better pre
pared. With our New York theatrs
and the ones we control throughout
the country we will be able to book
our own attractions without the least
difficulty.
"Our main strength, however, lies
in the targe number of attractions and
stars we control. These are the key
to the situation and the managers of
one-night stand theaters throughout
the ocuntry must use our attractions
or close their theatres. I admit that
the move was a complete surprise .o
me, but I repeat that it will not have
the least effect on any of our plans."

WEALTHY AMERICANS LIST
ING THEIR VALUABLES BE
FORE GOING ABROAD.
SAN FRANCISCO, May l.-Ai a
result of the recent exposure of a
plot to smuggle French finery and
foreign jewels into this country on a
gigantic scale by employing the
names of rich Americans returning
home from Europe, scores of men
and women who have planned to go
abroad within a short time are regis
tering their valuables at the local
customs house.
Already the officials are called upon
to take accurate descriptions of jewel
ry, furs and gowns which the prospec
tive travelers wish to take with them,
in order that they may not be annoy
ed upon the return by the greater
activity of the New York authorities
due to the recent expose. Magnifi
cient ropes of pearls, diamond tiara,
costly gowns and opera cloaks and
other valuable possession are laid out
by their owners before the local of
ficials. A necklace valued at $1&000
has been inspected 'thus far and other
baubles of almoit equal value destined
to dazzle society circles of the old
world capitals, have been recorded
and packed under the official seal.
Under the law these must not be
removed except by a foreign consul
if the owner wishes to escape the an
noyance of a close investigation upon
the return to New York. This con
dition is imposed to prevent pos
sible duplications of the articles reg
istered here.
