Year. - New York, July 11. "Iiey of Indian apolis" has found that some $10,000,000 a year 1b being lifted front the metro politan pocket by stealth. -.- "Izzy of Indianapolis" is ; Isidore Wulfson, chief inspector of weight and measures for the Hoosler city. The name comes to him from the Indianapo lis News as a mark of esteem and, af fection. ,. ." ; Mr. Wulfson Is one of the most stren uous and interesting .characters. of the middle west. He has made a record for the establishment of a correct system of weights and measures in his own city and started out by compelling the Stand ard Oil company of Indiana - and its smaller subsidiaries to give full meas ure in the. can trade oh, not beer. Having thus uplifted the morals of Mr, Rockefeller's oil trust he went to the Hay market, one of the chief marts of Indlanapolla -.-r-,-- There he found It essential to disguise himself as s peddler, and in this dis guise he found that the people of his city were- being fleeced annually of many, thousands of -dollars. He reme died the condition and Is popular. He goes now to nis nome.- epeaaing or nis observations here, he said: "I am convinced that the city of New York Is losing more than $10,000,000 a year through the failure on the part- of the people to appreciate the ' necessity for a proper maintenance of a depart ment of weights and measures that will cover the city. - , v Kany Thieving Dialers.

It does as well as might be ex pected from such a small beginning. "But the Keneral system of welarhts and measures In New York Is of such a character as gives ' the greatest pos- siDie opportunity ror tne dealer to get the maximum or price for the minimum of value. There is only one way to get the proper welcht and measure system. and that Is to make a rigid inspection and hold every dealer In every line strictly responsible for what he sells ana now ne sens it. I wish that you would not put me In the llKht of maklns any criticism of rour own department, but if I can serve he greatest city in the world by calling attention to the little leaks that are costing the great mass of your people money I shall be happy to do that -"The prpss of New York 1 - caa do more In the way of remedying this trouble than all the other elnmonm combined. It Is a class of reform that only needs to be known in order to be come accomplished." SILENT WITH POLICE; CONFESSES TO PKIEST New York, July II. After detectives had worked in vain to get an admission from Thomas Burke, 18 years old, that he had robbed the ' poorboxes in the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Brook lyn, the Rev. Father Dureck, pastor of the church, obtained a confession by talking kindly to the lad. The boy was being - put through the "third degree" in . the police station when Father Dureck entered, "Let me talk to him for a few mo ments," suggested the priest He then took young Burke aside. Impressed upon him the sinfulness of committing a theft and told him It would be best for him to tell the truth. The boy began crying. "I did it," he sobbed. "I didn't know how wicked It was." Father Dureck will try to obtain lent' ency for him. Young Burke's father, Peter, is the assistant sexton of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, RIVEE -STEAMERS AGAIN IN SERVICE fSpedtl Dhpetrk to The earnal.) Kennwlck. Wash.. July SI.

"Our schedule will be made up, however, on the volume of the up. river shipments, as we can not af ford to keep our boats in commission and load them but one way.- It Is to be hoped that we can keep them both on the run, for the river tonnage will play a prominent part In getting appropria tions to carry on the open river work."

HALF f.HLLlOri HI GAS REBATES -9 . ; .. i : ' Poor People of New Tork Pall , to Properly Claim Money That v Is Orerpald.' ' - New York, July - tl. More than a half million dolars In unclaimed gas rebate money will be in- the hands of the United States courts within two months. The 1 great bulk belongs to poor people of New- York City who have failed to present - claims for re bates on their gas bills, under the rul ing that, the SO cent , law was constitu tional. - -1- V'.' Commissioner Shields says he hopes to close the -transaction . -within : six weeks. - He would not express an opin ion a to the amounts of unclaimed rebates that will accumulate on account of the four other companies which have not completed, the distribution. ; From the - Northern Union company, 'whose rebates he paid some time ago .and closed its current accounts, there has accumulated In his hands about $24. 000.. Thus from two of the smallest companies of the gas combine - about $100,000 of rebate money still ,1s un claimed. . Of the four other companies It Is estimated that the unclaimed ' funds will amount to 1576,000. It is thus shown that the grand total will exceed $600,000. The ques tion Judge Lacombe will have to face Is:-. What disposition will be made of this fund? rlt does not belong to the ?;as monopoly. That concern cannot ouch It The money belongs to many thousands of persons who have failed to present their claims or have been unable to find their receipts or other proper evidence of their right to part of the rebate. . In this fund Is not Included the ex cess charge collected by the gas com pany, while defying the law, from users of slot meters. Thousands of poor con sumers thus will lose their rebates, the total of which Is thought to be at least $100,000. These are the very poorest and most helpless - of all the victims of the monopoly. : CANADA TO DEPORT AMERICAN COINS Ottawa! Oht.. July ll-It Is said the dominion finance department has ap proved a plan submitted by the Cana dian Bankers' association to bar Amer ican coins from circulation in this coun try. The work of collecting and deport ing such money is to be commenced im mediately by the banks.. It is estimate that In. the western provinces of the dominion at least half of the silver In circulation Is of United States coinage.: The advantage to the government from replacing American silver with coin In this country means a large Increase In seigniorage. -: SOU OF RICH (.11 EARNS 83 A WEEK Harvard .
