Mrs.

Jarrell' had first intended putting the jewels and money under her pillow, but she afterward concluded that they would be safer inside one of her stockings. Nearly everybody in court thought the silk stocking would be produced in evidence, but Mrs. Jarrell. to their apparent disappointment, did not exhibit it. Special Policeman McGinty, of the Twentieth "and Federal streets station, who arrested Meehan, declared that the defendant had told him, that he entered Mrs.

Jarrell 's room while she was asleeD and took the money and jewelry after cut ting a noie in her left stocking. Meehan was held in $500 bail for trial. Attributing her arrest to a jealous admirer, Miss May Wood, an attractive young woman of Bluefield, W. protested yesterday, against being detained a prisoner at police headquarters. As Miss Wood stepped from a train at Broad street station she was taken into custody on a telegram from Virginia charging her with larceny, "I am innocent," she said, "and have been arrested at the instance of a man because I exercised the right and independence to come here and leave him behind." She also said the man had her arrested once before at Norfolk and that she was promptly released when she made known the motive that prompted the prosecution.

Magistrate Eisenbrown held her in $600 bail for another hearing tomorrow. Refused Probation Offer Rather than live under the restrictions of the probationary law, 17-year-old Annie Prisfendorfer, formerly of Bayonne, JN. who was arrested on Saturday after she had, it is alleged, stolen a lot of finery from two department stores, preferred going to jail and stand trial. Anxious to help her Magistrate Eisenbrown paroled the' girl in the custody of Mies Gilette. a probation officer, who was to keep her under observation for some time.

At first this arrangement seemed satisfactory to the girl, but after leaving the Central Police Court she changed her mind and decided to take chances of being acquitted and gaining formal freedom. She was sent to jail in default of $500 bail. Suspected of having robbed the residence of Mrs. Mary Bowman, 3127 Ca-mac street, and with attempting to loot the house of her cousin, Mrs. Alma Byer, 2i54 North Eleventh street, two youths, William Toland, of 1762 North Front street, and Albert Gleckler, of 433 Miller street, were held in $600 bail for trial.

The pair asserted that they were the victims of mistaken identity. BUSINESS SHOW OPENS Novel Exhibition Contrasts Old and Sew Methods Representatives from all the leading manufacturers of office appliances are cooperating in making the novel business show now being held in the Globe-Wernicke Company show rooms one of the most original and attractive demonstrations ever held. The exhibition opened yesterday and will continue until January 10. Since the store is large and wide, it lends itself to the project far better than a smaller one would, giving room for the demonstration of the many working appliances. In the rear of a show room a space has been prepared where a comparison of the methods end appliances of an office of fifty years ago and a modern office is being held.

Steel cabinet safes, steel filing cabinets, the new safeguard system of filing, all of the different systems of card index, typewriters of all styles, adding machines, desks and, in fact, everything that goes to make a modern business office the place for the rapid transaction of business will be exhibited. 'SANGUINE AS TO 1914 Walnut Street Business Men Hear Optimistic Addresses Optimistic outlooks for 1914 were voiced yesterday at the weekly hmcheon of the Walnut Street Business Associa tion, held in the St. James Hotel. Ea gar C. Cross, who acted as chairman, sounded the happy note in his introductory speech, and E.

J. Cattell. the orator of the day, dwelt upon it at great length. E. J.

Berlet and several others also spoke in a happy vein both of the year mst concluding and jof the new year. "What Philadelphia May Anticipate in 1914" was the topic upon which Mr. Cattell dwelt. He outlined the year as a banner one for Philadelphia and dwelt upon the advantages that are to accrue from the new subway and transit facilities, the South -Philadelphia improvements, the new docks and the improved water front and other municipal betterments that have mapped, out. He also spoke about the necessity of continuing the campaign for the 1700-foot dry- dock at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Marn koe reviewed conditions among the Indians yesterday at the meeting of the association in the Protestant Episcopal Church House, Twelfth and Walnut streets. The president made a special plea for support of the work of Bishop Brook in that part of the country. It was the dis- covery or oil ana coal on tne Indian lands, Mrs. Markoe explained, which' made the Indians rich, giving some of them an income of $3000 a month. This had a tendency, she said, to make them less susceptible than ever to the influences of civilization, and an easy prey to evil agencies.

URGES WORK ON FARM Nebraska Bishop Says It Will Aid Morality A boys' farm school in Western Nebraska was the subject uppermost in the mind of Bishop George Allen Beecher, of the Protestant Missionary district of Western Nebraska, when he stopped at the Church House, Twelfth and Walnut streets yesterday on his way to Baltimore. He has at present a military school for boys in Kearney, and aims to establish an agricultural department. He said: "Much of the unrest and immorality in this country is due to the fact that young men are not being taught lessons of economy and frugality and not being taught to look upon labor on the farm as honorable. The tendency is to get away from the farm and be come a cog tne great industrial ma- chinery ox the cities: Street Cross Aisle, and Aisle 5, Centre In. an address in which he discussed the currency system, the tariff and city improvements before the Walnut Street ness Men's Association at its luncheon in the St.

James Hotel, Edward J. Cat-tell, Chief of the Bureau of Contracts and Statistics, said yesterday that nearly every improved feature in American banking had been born in the brain of a. Philadelphia banker. Mr. Cattell, who saw bright prospects for the coming year, said in part: "Speaking with a.

due sense of responsibility and after careful inves- tigation of the facts, after consultation also with men from various parts of the United States. I believe I am justified in expressing the opinion that 1914 is going to bring to Philadelphia a year of great prosperity. In fact, I believe the promises for the j'ear 1914 are better than ever before arreeted a new year for legitimate growth along legitimate lines in this city. "I base my optimism on two facts; first, our currency system, which was originated not to facilitate commerce and trade, but to make a market for -bonds which were then unsalable, has been recognized as a menace by many bankers, such bankers realizing that the day must come when a radical change would have to be made and a Bystem of banking inaugurated, having as its root idea the assistance of business, the making fluid of our large wealth at times when this condition was required, and a power to concentrate strength at points where attack was threatened. "Many bankers have had to practically violate the law in little things, and sail pretty close to the law in larger matters, or there would have been a serious crisis long ago.

The colmtry realized a change was due, the bankers realized a change was due, and yet that change had to be made by representatives in Congress, representing widely divergent views held in widely separated sections of the country. "As to local affairs, 1914 is full of promise. The city is thoroughly awake, I believe, to the necessity for developing; the people clearly realize possibility of new trade developments with the inauguration of the Panama Canal. We have ample power to borrow money sufficient to provide all commercial facilities to put up on a par with the great ports of the world." Youth Shot; Another Held Charged with shooting Frank Genette, 19 years old, of 1469 Titan street, Samuel Juiiannio, 17 years old, of Seventieth and Virginia streets, was held under $500 bail for court by Magistrate Coward in the Second and Christian streets station yesterday. The Magistrate also sentenced Genette to serve ten days in the county prison because he refused to prosecute the case.

Greenstone, president of the Jewish School Teachers' Association of Philadelphia, opened a discussion yesterday morning at the fifth session of the twentieth anni versary assembly of the Jewish Chautau qua Society in the Adath Jeshurun Syna gogue, Broad and Diamond streets. The subject of the discussion was "The Synagogue and Public Worship." The need for unity was the most emphasized point in the lecture.

In outlin ing a course of study for children into the origin and place of the synagogue, Dr. Greenstone recommended that children of Reformed Hebrews also be given a knowledge of the ceremonies of the Orthodox Hebrews which have been handed down from Biblical days. He said that in some cases the children should be compelled to attend the services in a synagogue, in order that the thoughts gathered in worship would be able to offset harmful theories of the world. Mrs. Max Margolis, of Philadelphia, who led the discussion, declared that she feared that to impress on a child's mind the fact that such a wide difference existed among Hebrews would tend further to break down the autonomy of the race.

Crucial Question, Says Dr. Berlco-vritz Dr. Henry Berkowitz, of the Rodeph Shalom congregation, said that the question was one of the most crucial that confronts Hebrew teachers. "While I believe that some of the old observances and ceremonies are obsolete, I think it is wise to develop in children a reverent and appreciative attitude towards those things which have meant so much to the race jn former years," Dr. Berkowitz declared.

An illustrated lecture by Milton Fair-child, a writer for the United States Bureau of rJdueation and a university ex tension lecturer, demonstrated the practi cal side of education. The object of the slides and the purpose of the lecture was to try to show that morality could be taught in the nublic schools without favoring any particular sect at the ex pense of the other and that children should be taught without cutting into the belief of any religious creed. The delegates were taken by automo biles the altornoon on a tour of inspection of the various synagogues throughout the city and visited points of historical interest. An effort is being made to bring the chautauqua to a close this afternoon, instead of tomorrow, as was arranged previously. Today's session will being about half an hour earlier and tomorrow's program will be transferred to the latter part of this afternoon.

Second Floor, Filbert East Witnesses at Watmough Will Hearing Assert Chamber Had Small Window Millionaire and Mrs, Keller Told Him Not to Enter Asserts Leonard Seyboldt Two former employes of Ferdinand Keller, the antique furniture dealer, who, with his wife, was left approximately $1,000,000 by the lat'e John G. Watmough, whose will relatives are trying to break, testified at the final session in the proceedings yesterday before Register of Wills Martin. Both witnesses asserted that there was a small window in the north wall of thg little room at the back of the Keller store, where Watmough and Mrs. Keller were accustomed to sit. Jules Maujean, at a former hearing in the case, declared that he had looked through this window and had seen Mrs.

Keller and Watmough embracing. Members of the Ktl-; ler family afterward denied that such a window existed. The witnesses were S. M. Dunn and Leonard Seyboldt.

The window was in the party v-all between the room and the cellar stairway, they asserted. It was painted over and gave little light, they declared, and they also stated that they had never tried to look through it. "Whenever I knew Mrs. Keller and Watmough were in the room, I would go to the yard by way of lhe cellar," said Dunn, "not wishing to interrupt their private affairs." Found Door Locked Seyboldt stated that he had found the door locked at times and that on other occasions both Mrs. Keller and Watmough had told him not to enter the room.

Both men testified that they had brought ale to Watmough, sometimes as many as half a dozen bottles at a time. "I guess he drank it; he didn't likely throw it out of the window," said Seyboldt. Attorneys for the contestants introduced records of marriages in the Bureau of Vital Statistics showing that Ferdinand Keller, occupation given as carpenter, had married Mathilde Zaiser on July 10, 1880. The marriage was performed by Magistrate William P. Becker.

Keller had previously stated on the stand that his marriage had taken place at Stuttgart, Germany, in 1878. When he was recalled yesterday to ex plain the apparent discrepancy, he asserted that the German marriage was a religious ceremony, and that he had been informed that it would obviate legal complications if he had a civil ceremony performed in this country.

FUNERAL IS USED AS MAGNET FDR SLAYER Detectives Scrutinize Persons at Burial Services of Baker, But Make No Arrests Thinking that his funeral might serve as a magnet to draw his slayer to the church where the services were held, detectives yesterday attended the funeral of John Bojanowski, the baker who was found stabbed through the heart in the kitchen of his home, 2620 East Ontario street, Christmas morning. The detectives scrutinized nearly everybody in the crowd that gathered at St. Adelbert's Church, East Allegheny avenue and Thompson streets, but did not make any arrests. To give the police more time to continue their, investigation Coroner Knight has the inquest indefinitely.

As yet the authorities have been unable to find any trace of the man's slayer or to ascertain a motive for the supposed murder.
