1 0 i DESIRABLE SPOT TO SPEND THE SUMMER That Waldheim Park Is a desirable place for a summer residence, is be lug discovered by a larger number of people every year. The park is beau tlfully located along the South Moun tain, Just far enough away from the city to escape Its noise and heat, and yt roar enough to make it convenient for those whose work demands their presence In the city, the car fare being only five cents. The Beautirm shade under the stately trees, makes it a delightful spot during the warm summer months. The conveniences which the park afford, first and fore of which tho excellent water, offer a great Inducement to spend a anmmer at Waldhelm. A number of private cottages will be erected this summer, which together with those which are already on the ground will make quite a city.

The associa tlon charges a nominal sum for imunil rent for each lot. The charges vary from $3 to $15 per year, can be aecured by apply t0 the sccretary. The association owns ten small cottages, these are for rent at a nominal sum. The follow Ins rules were adopted to govern tho No cot tage will be definitely rented before April 1. Applications will be receiv ed by the secretary, Rev.

E. S. Wood-ring, 443 Xorth Ninth St. These will be filed and cottages will be awarded after the above mentioned date. Preference will be given to tho3e persons who desire to rent for the longest period of time.

When a cottage is definitely rented, the lesee is to make a deposit with the secretary, of a sum to equal 25 per cent, of the total rent al. A number of Improvements are contemplated to make tho park still more attractive. Considerable work has already been done on the new athletic Held, which will be in readi ness by the time the picnic season opens. Besides the annual campmeet- ing in August, the probabilities are that other religious gatherings will be held. 2 INCHES BELOW CHIN, LOW NECK DEAD LINE Silk Stockings Also Barred by Bill Framed by Moralist.

Columbus, March 18 With the Introduction of a bill in the Ohio Icgis lature to "prescribe the fashions to be worn by women in the state," a good deal of discussion has been stirred up. The Bill was introduced by Represent ative Louis S. Capelle of Cincinnati and provides a commission of three men, all married, who are "to pre scribe rules and regulations for the designing and manufacture of women's clothing and to prohibit such styles and patterns of garments as the com mission, after a hearing, shall deem to be detrimental to virtue or chastity." The bill makes 'it the duty of the commission to investigate the effects of the present day wearing apparel of women on the morals of the community. It would also prohibit department stores from displaying undraped real or artificial figures. The bill would banish the "peeka boo" wnist by fixing the limit of decol lete gowns so that "not more than two Inches of the neck below the chin should be uncovered" and would make it unlawful to wear any outer garment trimmed or combined with lace, inser tion or any kind of embroidery, mesh or net through which the color or tex ture of the skin may be distinguished.

The bill goes as far as to prohibit the display of "transparent stockings in public places." SWITCHMEN VOTE TO STRIKE Leaders Have Authority to Order Them Out if Demands Are Refused. Chicago.

Truins are now run ning over the new cut-off. For years the Central contemplated the eliminating of the dangerous ro-k tunnel, running through a solid mass of rock, have been completed. Trains are now running over the new cut-off. For years the Central contemplated the eliminating of the dangerous rock tunnel, running through a solid mass of stratified rock, the strata running obliquely, causing rocks to drop down on the tracks frequently. Besides, the tunnel has a curve, and it was impos sible for the engineer of a train to see through it.

A watchman was always on duty at the tunnel. Several years ago the Central pur chased a strip of land along the Le high Valley Railroad from the Lehigh company to eliminate the tunnel and run Its tracks alongside those of the Lehigh Valley tracks. The contract was commenced nearly two years ago. The mountain, which had to be blasted away measured several drcd feet in height and several hundred yards in length. Steam shovels and steam drills were kept going continu ally for nearly two years.

Owing to the alluvial deposit, it was necessary to go down a distance of 45 feet for solid foundations for piers and abutments, and it is estimated that the foundations for the bridge cost more than the super-structure. The new cut-off almoBt mages the Central road straight there, thus en abling engineers to make much better time, while there is less danger than before when the tunnel was being used.

MORE FAITH IN FRIEOMANN Berlin Dootor, Who Claim Hi Turtle Serum Will End White Plague, Now Turns Hi Attention to Demonstrating on Cripples Sufferingg From Tu-beroulosis of the Bone, New Tork, March 18.

Dr. John Winters Brannnn announced that Hellevue hospital would be the authority for all statements regarding the condition of tuberculosis patients treated under Its auspices by Dr. Frledrich Franz Friedruann, the Berlin bacteriologist, who believes he can cure the disease with his so called turtle serum. "It is impossible to say when we shall begin issuing these bulletins," said Dr. rtramian, "but the public may expect that there should be some indications of the effect of the serum, whether encouraging or not, within ten days or two weeks.

This is based on the reports regarding Dr. Friedtnann's treatment of patients abroad. "The officers of Bellevue and allied hospitals feel that the public of this city and of the whole country is entitled to the first and clearest Infor mation regarding the merit of the Frledmann treatment. If it is a beneficial and helpful treatment the boon of hope should not be kept from the thousands on thousands of miserable victims of the disease throughout the country for a moment longer than is absolutely necessary to verify Dr. Friedmann's claims.

Impartial Reports Guaranteed. "On the other hand, if Dr. Friefl-mann's cultures cannot produce the results for which he has trained them there should be an tnstant notice to every sufferer and every friend and dependent upon such a sufferer that the best method of combating tubnr culosis is the present doctrine of fresh pure air, fresh, pure milk and a simple diet. The bulletins will be altogether Impartial and scientific." Dr. Wachsmann, head of the Monie-flore home, said that the reports as to the changes in condition of patients treated by Dr.

Friedmann In that in stitution would not be given to the public for at least three months and would be made known through a paper to be published in one of the medical reviews of authoritative standing, The score or more of tuberculosis specialists, heads of health boards and independent physicians from all over the nation who have been attracted to New York in the hope of learning something definite about Dr. Fried mann's culture and his operating meth ods were in much better temper than since his arrival in this country. Government to Use Rays In Tests, The clinic at Bellevue. in which all comers with projier credentials were admitted, gave them a chance to see Dr. Friedmann at work and to send home reports as to his operating methods and his apparent familiarity with the phases of the disease he is fighting.

Government supervised clinics will tie held at Bellevue and Mount Sinai hospitals, but only cases already sub milted to Dr. Friedmann and with re gard to which he has had an opportu nity to study charts and rny photo graphs will be used for demonstrations Dr. Friedmann is expected at the Hospital For Deformities and Joint Diseases to select more cases for study and will operate on nearly forty persons there on Thursday.

President Ban Johnson of the Amer ican league undoubtedly took a laudatory step when he Issued an ultimatum recently that all bail players In the Junior organization should cease writing for newspapers over their names.

Just how Mr. Johnson will enforce this ruling la not quite apparent If a strong minded, hard headed player should Insist on continuing as a pseudo scribe. There is no doubt that such practices cause many serious grievances among players, especially within a team whose members are being criticised by one of their number. It matters not that the player himself did not pen the critical sentences. The very fact that be is credited with such strictures, having bis name put to the article, la sufficient to provoke serious differences and dissensions among tbe players of a team.

And nine times out of ten such effusions are impositions on tbe public. Of all the players whose names are appearing In public print as tbe accredited authors of weekly or dally contributions we know of only two who actually write their "stuff" themselves. And even In these Instances It might be said that their articles pass under a rigid blue pencil process before they appear In public print The fact that the players do not actually compose the articles they sign Is Illustrated in the following "Say. Tesreau, what do you mean by bawling me out In your story this morning for that play of yesterday?" a certain member of the New York Giants Is said to have remarked to the big pitcher after one of the world's series games last fall. "Did I bawl you out?" asked Tesreau in amazement "Well.

I'll have to buy a copy of this morning's paper and see what 1 wrote." And there's more truth than fiction In the yarn. Several newspapers already hare published a list of tbe ball player-authors and the men who actually wrote their stories for them. The list shows that Christy Mathewson and John. Mc-Qraw depend upon N. Wheeler, a New York writer, to turn out their criticisms and anecdotes.

During tbe world's series last fall Wheeler also wrote Jeff Tesreau's "stories," while W. J. McBeth suggested and executed Chief Meyers' themes. Rube Mar- quard's articles were produced by W. S.

Farnsworth. Walter Johnson's screeds came from tbe pen of Ralph MacMillan, a Boston sporting editor. Cy Young's pieces were turned out by Samuel Carries. I'aul Shannon was the author of Charley Wagner's effu sions. Bill Carrigan was looked after by A.

H. C. Mitchell. Tim Murnane wrote for Tris Speaker. Jim O'Leary was the penman behind Joe Wood.

while Ty Cobb's descriptions and con monts were written by Stony McGlynn of Philadelphia. In starting this crusade President Johnson contends that the baseball pub lie should not be deceived, that ball players should not be allowed to crltl else members of their teams and that to avoid serious trouble In the shape of internal dissension the entire practice should be wiped out Johnson recently declared that ball players were not hired to "write" for newspapers, but to devote their entire time to promoting the welfare of their employers.

New Tork, March 18. It became known that Charles S. Whitman, district attorney, expected a confession from John J. Hartlgan, the policeman who was convicted of perjury.

Hartlgan was the clerk of Captain Dennis Sweeney, formerly an inspector. This confession, it was said, would not only confirm Whitman's contention that Sweeney contributed to the bribery fund sent to the witness George A. Sipp to induce him to remain out of the state, but would furnish additional information concerning the clearing house for police graft in the Sixth inspection Qistrlct, the revenue from which is said to have exceeded a year. Hartigan was arraigned in court for sentence, hut after a conference between Whitman find the convicted man's lawyer, James A. Donnelly, the district attorney asked Justice Seabury to remand Hartlgan to the Tombs until Friday.

This was done, and It speedily became known in the criminal courts building that negotiations were under way between Whitman and Hartigan. Ready to Confess. The ex-poller-man he has been dismissed from tie force was made to realize in the last, few days that be can gain nothing by keeping his mouth shut and going to jail. His friends of the "system" have deserted him. and Rhtnelfinder Waldo, the police commissioner, has dropped Mm from the rolls of the department.

Hartigan realizes, it is said, that he had better accept the district attorney's offers, vH.true as they are. His career in the police department is at an end in any event. The disclosures he can make are important. Besides Sweeuey, three other Inspectors, whose names have not yet been made public, art! involved in the story he can tell, and their Indictments are looked for some time next week. Confident In Court.

When Hartlgan appeared iu court he was smiling and more self confident In appearance than he had been for several days. His young wife, who sat in the body of the courtroom, stood up and waved to him, with a smile, and he waved back. Then his Inwyer made the customary motions on technical grounds. Justice Seabury denied the motions, and then Whitman intervened and asked to have sentence postponed until Friday. Edward J.

PENNSYLVANIA MAN RELEASED AFTER 21 YEARS IN PRISON, WAUPON, March 18 Edward Kckart, of Pennsylvania, was to-day paroled from the Wisconsin Peniten tiary after thirty-seven years of actual time served behind the bars. Ho was convicted of murder when 21 years old. Eckart's victim was Charles Peter son, also ot Pennsylvania. Tho two were tramping: in Wisconsin during tho excessively cold winter of 1875 in a quarrel over a lire started beside the railroad track near Jefferson, Pe terson was killed and Eckart was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder.

He never had admitted tho crime, maintaining that Peterson was killed by a tramp. In the thirty-seven years of im prisonment never a mark of demerit has been placed against Eckart. He cannot leave Wisconsin and his con duct must be exemplary in every way. In the third of a century, of imprisonment his kin have deserted him and he does not know the whereabouts of his wife and daughter. Prior to hi3 imprisonment, Eckart saw much of the world, sailing the seas and working in the diamond fields of South Africa.

Th Judgo who sentenced him and the District Attorney who prosecuted, are dead and only three of the jurymen are yet living. Eckart never lost hope. Without money he managed to bring his case before the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, and the Circuit Court of Appeals of the United States, but at every turn he was thwarted. In a desperate Iat3 hope he appealed to a Milwaukee newspaperman, who was instrumental in obtaining his conditional release. ALLETAH COUNCIL OFFICERS Alletah Council, No.
