SO MCE, THIS NURSE;
NOW HE- IS ARRESTED
aW"BS"S"BSSaBSBBjSSBMSBBSSBa
Charged With Stealing Va-
rious Articles From Fair
Colleagues in Hospital.
Philadelphia, Feb. St. It was simply
BOt to be believed, thought nursos at
tha Fhoenlxvllla hospital yesterday,
when Edward Johnson, a nurse in that
Institution, was arrested by a Phlladel
pnttv .detective for larceny.-
Instantly tha sympathy of every fair
fellow-nurse of the accused man went
- out to him. He was such a nice fel
low, and so religious, they said. They
knew ha hadn't done It, for, besides,
what on earth could he have wanted
With the things which had been missed.
But later, when the detectives told
them Johnson confessed to some of the
thefts, their pity turned to ongnr.
- Flashing eves told better than words
'" what the young women thought of a
nan who would take sueh things as ha
" had.
"Just to think of those r.ew silk
" Stockings," said one of the sufferers.
, "And my best underskirt," supple
mented another.
It was one of tha most unusual cases,
1 the'y agreed, they ever had heard of.
Johnson had gone to the hospital with
letters from well-known clergymen and
doctors In Philadelphia and vicinity.
When not at work it seemed he was al
ways busy reading his Bible, although
bo found time now and then to chat
with the other nurses, and to tell them
vOf his sad experiences.
According to the nurse, Johnson had
told them of his being left an orphan
when only a child. He had had a hard
riirhr for existence but had obtained an
education, and how wished to devote
his life to caring for the sick. He
talked much of their spiritual welfare,
and regularly attended church.
All these things tended to make John
aon popular. As a memento of their
regard for the man, the women nurses
last Christmas clubbed together and
bought him a handsome solid silver
napkin ring. Many other attentions
. were shown him, and when, last month,
ha fell sick Ope day there was quite a
contest a to who should have the priv
ilege of attending to his wants:
Yesterday Detective Lee of Philadel-
5 hla want to Phoenlxvllle and arrested
oh.'ison. Ha said the man was wanted
In Philadelphia, where he had been at
the Samaritan hospital for a time, and
hi Jersey City and New Tork. .
Then the girls got real angry and be
gan to maice a new inventory oi mings
that bad been stolen, .
This is a partial list: $50 in money,
two stickpins, one fountain pen, a pair
of long ailk hose belonging, to the as
sistant suDerintendent at the hospital;
a pair of dancing slippers, quantities of
lingerie, scissors, gloves, shoes, breast
pins, rings, photographs, handkerchiefs
ana even toilet articles.
T rursea were told that Johnson is
ne' "rnhan. His parents are sup
posfc.J - live in Philadelphia, and he
has reiktives in New Tork, according
to letters to be found in his trunk, 'who
kept him posted that "detectives were
on his track."

versy with the Marine Engineers' asso
ciation should be put in operation as
rapidly as engineers arrive here from

"We are' simply adhering to the reso
lution made and expressed some weeks

of the owners. "We told the engineers
that we would take such steps to oper
ate our vessels as tne occasion might
warrant, unless they saw fit to abide
Dy tna regulations, anu now we are do
ing so.
"It is difficult to say Just when all

of engineers from the outside.
"The new men will receive more pay

we shall try to make things agreeable

London, Feb. 29. The health of the
premier. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man,
has been the political topic of the
week, and reports of his impending re
tirement from the Liberal leadership in
the house and Ms subsequent accept
ance of a peerage have been freely
talked about in every club and drawing
room.
Naturally, the Liberals are filled with
gloom at the prospect, for no successor
could adequately fill his place, and
there is nobody else. It is feared, who
could hold together the huge conglom
eration of groups which constitute the
largest majority ever possessed -by a
British party In modern tlmeB..
The Right Honorable Herbert Asqulth
Is, of course, slated for the leadership.
Undoubtedly he is the best man for the
post, but he lacks personal popularity,
which is Sir Henry's special attribute
and the secret of his greatest strength.
The hope of one section of Llbeiallsm
is curiously enough centered on two
men who are as yet, relatively speak
ing, mere tyros In the political arena.
They are David Lloyd-George, president
of the board of trade and member for
Carnarvon slrice 1890, and Winston
Spencer Churchill, son of Lord Randolph
Churchill, who has been under secretary
of state for the colonies since 1906.
Laok of Qualifications.
It is recognised by their warmest sup
porters that neither possesses the cx
noriAnc t h authorltv. nor the age
requisite for leadership. Still, it cannot
be denied mat doid men un uv.t--slon
displayed rare gifts of personal
influence, oratorical power, and a cer
tain administrative ability.
The prediction is made by a very com
petent observer that in a few years
f.lovd-Oeorre and Winston Churchill
will be running a close race for the
leadership of tho Liberal party, and
that although the chances are rather
in favor of the former, the lady who
was once Miss Jennie Jerome of New
vrrit Hurl Inter Ladv Randolph Church
ill, and now Mrs. George Cornwallls
West, may reasonably cherish the hope
of seeing her son me premier oi vjtreai
Britain.
Meanwhile one of the most represen
tative organs of the Liberal party has
expressed the hope that Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman may be able to
carry on the government "for two or
three years to come,' by which time
It apparently considers that one or the
other of tho rising "young hopefuls" Of
Liberalism will have matured suffi
ciently to take the place which now, it
Is universally conceaea. win go to tne
chancellor of the excheuuer In the event
of Sir Henry Oampbell-Bannerman being
obliged to resign.
Will Be Be Peer?
The general opinion Is that Sir Henry
may at any moment be compelled Dy
tne aavice or nis meairai auvisers to
take such steps as will necessitate a
reconstruction of the cabinet. The sug
gestion that he should take a peerage
was at first treated as a Joke. Person
ally, he would be much opposed to it. A
little while Ago he was asked by a friend
if it were true that he was going to the
house of lords. He replied, characteris
tically:
"When Sir William Harcourt was
asked a similar question you will re
member that he answered: 'No. I Dre-
fer to die an English gentleman.' Well,
am a Scotsman, nut bir William and
held many vlnwji In common,"
In spite of Sir Henry's personal views
and the political stand he has taken
against trie house of lords, however, a
section Of his supporters have been
strennousiy . urging that If he should
abandon active leadership In the com
mons he should accept a peerage so as
to be able to continue to lead his party
from the upper chamber. It were need
less to go into the arguments used to
Justify this suggestion, for they appear
to be without effect.
