STEVENS COES BACK TO JAIL
Bound Over for Enticing Dohse Child
Into Fairmount Park.
NO EFFOET TO SECUEE BAIL
"rleeds of Steveae Since Immt Case

It. W. Stevens, the linotype machinist
charged with forcing Alma Dohse, a child
of 10 years, to accompany him to Fair
mount park last Wednesday evening, wai
yesterday bound over by Police Judge
Snyder to awaJt the action of the grand
jury. Till ball waa placed at 0,000, In de
fault of which Stevens waa committed to
the county Jail, which he but recently left
after having been bound over on the charge
of attempted criminal asaault on U-year-old
Chrlrtina Chrlsteneen.
Stevens' defense yesterday was an alibi
and on hrs behalf testimony waa given by
the Chinese proprietors of a Broadway
restaurant and their two waitresses and
ky Mrs. R. D. Amy, 817 Fifth avenue, with
whom Stevens until recently roomed. The
restaurant people testified to Stevens eat
ing his supper at their place Wednesday
evening and Mrs. Amy's testimony was to
the effect that Stevens called at her house
Wednesday evening and waa there from 8
to 10 p. m. Stevens went on the stand
himself and denied absolutely having seen
the Dohse child or having had anything
whatever to do with her.
For the state, little Alma Do lute repeated
her story, aubHtantlally as has been pub
lished. Miss Leda Borwlck, living on South
Main street, testified to seeing Stevens
walking down the alley beside the wagon
In which the Dohse child was. Mrs. Abble
Bailey, living at the corner of Third and
Worth streets, testified to seeing the child
and a man whom she said resembled Stev
ens, going toward the park on Falrvlew
avenue shortly before 8 o'clock. Her at
tention was attracted to the couple by the
fact that the rnan was so much better
dressed than the child.
The Information filed against Stevens by
County Attorney Hess charged attempted
assault, but as the evidence did not show
that he had made any attempt to mistreat
the child, the charge was made to one of
enticing away a child.
It la not thought likely that Stevens'
relatives will make any attempt to furnish
ball for blm this time. Ills brother, who
came here from Lincoln and arranged for
the 82,000 bond In the case In which he Is
charged with attempting to assault 11-year-old
Christina Chrlstensen, It, Is said, Is
much wrought up over the second charge
and probably will withdraw the bond.
Friends of Stevens are now Inclined to
believe that he Is mentally ' deranged.

knowledge necessary for undertaking the
work.
While the geological department has al
ready made something of a report on the
coal supply of the state, there has never
been anything exhaustive done In that line
such as will be undertaken by Mr. Hinds.
Furthermore, the state has rot. up to this
time, done any work In any other line that
will be as exhaustive as that to be done
now In the coal fields. It Is the intention,
following the completion of this work, to
take up other matters and moke the re
search as to all the Important geological
knowledge of the state thorough and ex

The Iowa railroad commission today Is
sued an order raising the minimum on cars
from 24,000 to 3o,000 pounds. For years the
minimum weight of a carload shipment has
been placed at 24,000 pounds. The size of
freight cars has, however, steadily In
creased till they are now manufactured to
contain as high as 80,000 pounds. For years
the railroads have been petitioning the
board to Increase the minimum. The com
panies asked that the increase be such as
to bo a per cent of the capacity of the
car. The board refused to accede to that
because the size of the cars ore beyond
Its control and It desired to keep the mini
mum within Its control.

Swede newspaper of Iowa, said today that
the Swedes of the stute will not accede
to the wishes of King Oscar to return to

to this country. He talked freely of the
conditions there and said that, the govern
ment has long known of the conditions thai
drove the people to America, but has been
slow to correct them. He stated that tho
absence of universal suffrage and the sys

lord ownership of the land were the chief
objections to the country and the Impor

LUMBER SUPPLY FOR RAILROAD
Increasing; Demand for Ties aud
Decreasing Area of Suit
able Timber.
The railroads of the country are face to
face with the problem of lumber supply
for cross-ties. They can no longer have
choice of the best, but rr.ust take what
Is to be had. It Is not so much a questlon
of rrlce as of absolute shortage In the
best grades.
In 1906 the railroads of the country pur
chased 108.000,000 ties. Since each tie con
tains, on the avenge, thirty board feet,
or enough to make a plank thirty feet
long, one foot wide and one Inch thick,
this number pf ties equals over 3,000,0.0. 000
board feet, or one-twelfth of all saw tim
ber purchased In the year.
Nearly one-half of the ties were oak,
one-fifth were southern yellow pine, and
the rest were cedar, cypress, redwood,
tamarack, hemlock, western yellow pine
and other woods which until recently were
seldom used for ties because they were
considered Inferior or were hard to get.
Oak, which still supplies nlmost half the
demand, formerly supplied nearly all. The
rapid extension of ralronds calls for more
tie timber every year, while every year
the forests are less able to furnish the re
quired oak.
White oak has always been regarded
by railroads as Ideal tie muterlal. It re
sists decay, holds spikes firmly and, al
though perhaps higher In price. It Is an
economical wood for ties when It can be
had, because It lasts longer than cheaper
timber.
But the time baa come when the enor
mous demand for oak cannot be met.
Wide use and excessive waste have brought
about this state of affairs. Railroads were
extravagant and ttemakers were wasteful.
The forests were skimmed of the very
trees that should have been left to grow
to large size and become much more valu
able for other uses. Instead of cutting
the mature trees, which, if left, would not
greatly Increase In size or value, the tie
Industry demanded and took the young,
growing trees, thus not only wasting the
present forest, but greatly reducing the
immediate prospective supply. This was
poor economy, and the railroads and the
country are feeling the consequences.
The railroads, though still able to pro
cure enough ties of some kind, see a short
age In the future and are taking steps to
meet It. They are using all timber that
can be made to answer. The tlemakers,
being In Immediate touch with the scarcity
of trees, are now cutting more closely,
and are using tops, which were formerly
left to rot or burn In the woods. Where
It 18 practicable to, do so, they are sawing
the trees Instead of hewing them, and so
lessening the waste.
In order to make the best use of what
they have railroads are treating tlea with
chemicals to Increase their life In service.
Several years with some kinds of wood
as much as twenty years are thus added
to the life of the tie. Inferior woods are
the very ones which best take -such treat
ment. This is an economy which comes as a
direct result of the Increasing scarcity
of wood tie material. It Is a timely
economy, 'also, for It tends to save the
growing forest without depriving the rath
rouds of what they need. Br taking the
lead In this work the forest service is fur
nishing a valuable object lesson to the
public, showing that the old order of
waste and extravagance Is a thing of the
past and that the products of the forests
may be so husbanded as to offset the In
creasing shortage.
The railroads, In some cases, are going
still further In wise economy. They are
purchasing tracts whose timber will come
Into the market after a while for ties.
Some of the transportation companies are
pluntlng trees In large numbers, antici
pating needs many years hence. The Penn
sylvunlu railroad and the Delawaro &
Hudson railway have foresters employed
to work out the problem of supply to the
best advantage.
A satisfactory substitute for the wooden
tie has not been found, and probably will
not be found. Railroads understand thut
the supply must grow and that Its growth
requires many years. Brooklyn Eagle.
J oat Had to Talk.
It was a real hardship for Judge Brown
to have to keep silent for any length of
time. Even when traveling be usually

The Judge grew restless after thev had

windows, coughed several times, then
finally, In desperation, cleared his throat
and asked In stentorian tone:

Intelligent, and square, lie hoped that his
advertisement might meet the eyes of an
old-fashioned father, who hnd a chip of the
old block at home. This merchant knows
there are boys and boys, but like Eugene
Field, he believes
There are no boys like the good old boys.
But the good boys are scarce. The
race Is almost extinct, one might venture
to say. Where they have gone ami how
they went are problems which others must
solve. The fact remains that their num
ber Is few, which undoubtedly is a condi
tion to bo deplored.
For the boys who started out to earn
their living twenty-five or fifty years ago
were. In their humble sphere, useful mem
bers of society. Tou will find many of
them today occupying positions of trust,
or perhaps, at the heads of the linns they
served intelligently and well.
They begun In the old-fashioned way, by
reaching the office long before the others
and sweeping it from end to end. Then
they dusted the desks, and filled the Ink
wells, put fresh nibs In the penholders, and
arranged the blotting pads. Keeping a
hot fire In the offloo stove was another of
their duties, and they saw to it that the
ashes did not fly over the floor.
The letters and bills they filed away in
such an orderly manner that nono was lost
or mislaid, and all were available at a mo
ment's notice. In taking press copies of
letters written in long hand, the old-fashioned
boys were careful not to blur them,
and when the envelopes went out they bore
the proper amount of postage. And the
stamps, by the way, were not used for their
own correspondence. They remembered
that the stamps were the property of their
employer.
Such youngsters had been trained and
educated according to the methods of their
day. Politeness was properly Instilled in
them. They knew how to receive an office
caller with courtesy. They could say "Yes,
sir," InRtead of "All right" or "Whatcher
want?" and they touched their caps to
those whom they recognized as their su
periors. And their personal appearance! It was
a pleasure to look upon them. The old
fashioned boy went to bed early, had a
solid sleep, and was ready for work next
flay, with his wits about him. His shoes
were blacked, his clothes were brushed,
and his face had obviously been under
the pump. Moreover, his fingers wero not
stained with nicotine, and If you turned
his pockets Inside out you would not And
stumps of stale cigarettes.
When he ran errands, he didn't stop to
discuss the detoils of the latest murder
trial or divorce scandal, for these things
were beyond his realm. Neither was he
familiar with the past performances of the
"ponies," nor with the merits nor demerits
of prize-fighters or popular actresses. The
stroet-corner game of craps was not for
Mm, and the jay of the comic supplement
that lure to procrastination and Idleness,
had not arrived.
Still, he had his fun, however old-fashioned
the variety may have bien, though
his play was not In working hours. He at
tended to business, and was not afraid to
Jump in and do a trifle moro than he. had
bargained for. Ho kept his eyes open,
learned his duties without asking unneces
sary questions, and was ready to accept
responsibility, even after Initial failures.
Fortunately, the old-fashioned boy lived
before the days of educational fads and
fancies. He was well-grounded in tho
three "Rs " He could spell with his elders,
he could write a presentable letter, end he
was not at a loss when told to figure inter
est. The successor of the old-fashioned boy
should not be condemned too Severely. His
faults are not altogether of his own mak
ing. He Is the product of a town that has
outgrown old-faslilcmed Ideas, perhaps to
its own detriment in muny respects. As
a merchant recently said:
"The modern boy, as a rule, lives in a
flat. He has never tended a furnace, nor
cairlod coal up the cellur stairs, and the
only fire he knows Is the one he builds on
the asphalt pavement. He has never planted
a Burden, never milked a row, and If you
put a hummer and saw In his hands and
told him to mend a fence, why, he would
be all at sea.
"These things may sound superficial, but
they give a boy sclf-reliunce, ingenuity and
Imnglnutlon, all of which are essential
qualities in business life. You'll find Some
of!l(e boys unwilling to take responslhlty,
others who blunder over the slmpliest
riuth'S, und more whose memories are so
faulty that they can't curry a message
straight from one room to another. Such
boys haven't received an old-fushioiiud
training, you may be sure.
"In my opinion, It Is the home training
that counts. I am not prepared to blame
the public schools, although some of the
letters we. receive In answer to adveitlse
nients indicate that the boys have been in
pnfctly educated In the essentials. You
can't teach a boy to do officii work before
he gets Into business, but you can teach
him to be honest, conscientious and trust
worthy long before he is ready to earn his
living.
While the modern otllce n i a recog
nized butt of the Jokesmlth, It would be
both ridiculous uml unfulr, say buisness
men. to condemn him in general for in
efl'.elenoy. Bright and able, youngsters by
the score are scattered throughout tho
business centers, the kind who possess all
the quulltles which make for success. As u
rule, their work Is quickly recognized, al
though It frequ-ntly happens that a Mini Is
sorry when the tlmeu comes to promote a
capable boy, because ii m-ver knows
whether It run find another to nil tlm place
satisfactorily.
Hiring a new boy is almost as much of a
lottery as engaging a domestic. You may
draw either a prize or a blank. It depends
upon circumstances over which the" em
ployer perhaps has linle or no control.
The demand for boys Is so heavy that the
employer Is unable to p'ck and choose. H
may hire one who has no a lilude for ot
iicu work, but who would make a good
nircnanic. He may get another who Is
Uzy, shiftless and alwuys "watching the
clock." Again, he may find one who bus
determination, who Is careful, honest, po
lite, and willing to do a little more than
bis share of work without conn l.l:,t. Thlt
Is the boy who will bo cm ou: used and (nt
upward, if he luulnlulna his original gilt
Of that he may bo sure, for employers are
on tho lookout for polite and reliable of
fice assistants, men as well as boys. New

SOME AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES
Pointed Illustration of the Transition
In Milllonulredora In Fifty
Years.
One day In September, 1S5?, when th
ship that Irought the late Carl Pchurs 'o
America was sailing up New York har
bor. Mr. Schuri chanced to notice some
"tl. arming dwellings'' on the shore of
Staten Island, then n favorite mateilng
plnee. He turned to a fellow passenger,
a home-coming American, and asked who
were the owners of these pretty houses.
"Rich New Yorkers," was the laconic
reply, as Mr. Schuri himself recorded It.
"And how much must a nion have to be
called a 'rich' New Yorker?" Mr. Schuri
inquired.
"Well," was the answer, "a man who
has something like tl5n,r)0 or LOO.mO, or
on assured Income of 110,000 or 112,000 a
year, would be considered wealthy. Of
course, there are men who have more
than that as much as a million or two,
or ever more."
"Are there many In New York?"
"Oh, no, not many; perhnps a dozen."
How many such ure there In New York
today? Nobody can tell with exactness.
I recently put the question to an active
member of one of Nov York's most Im
portant banking und promoting houses.
"Oh, five thousand," was his reply
"There are 2,500 millionaires I could count
up, and there must he 2.D00 more, many
of whom are absolutely unknown to Wall
street."
There are In New York a host of un
known millionaires who drift there from
provincial homes. Tho unknown million
aire Is, In Mr. Howell's view, the opportu
nity of some novelist in the future, a pa
thetic figure of modern metropolitan life,
through the parties Is often unrecognized
by himself. He goes through the motions
of doing what the rich and fashionable do
around him keeps an establishment, dines
at expensive restaurants, attends the
opera; but In reality he and his family
live detached lives so far as social rela
tions are concerned. Even the reporter
does not Invade their lonely privacy.
How Is one to make even a guess at the
total number of millionaires? I have at
hand lome rather significant statistics,
secured for a business purpose, covering
the annual Incomes of the families In the
t'nlted States. There are In this estimate
2.094,000 families, or 17 per cent of the
whole number, enjoying Incomes between
I1.2C0 and 13.000 a year; and 6M.000 families
S4 per cent of tho whole number, with
Incomes between 13,000 and Sti.OOO. Contlnu
tng up the scale, we find It stated that
811,000 families, or S per cent of the whole
number, have Incomes above $6,000.
All speculation on this subject must
recognize not only the constant shifting
of the distribution of wealth as a whole,
but similar uncertainties In the case of
Individual millionaires. When one Is deal
ing with statistics In the large, It can
be assumed that these uncertainties may
to a great extent be balanced agalns
one another. But when It comes to the
Individual, we all know that actively In
vested capital Is constantly menaced by
chance of loss, however unconvincing may
be the paper losses and gains of Wall
street, by which millions are made today
and wiped out tomorrow. The number of
the wealthy whose money Is Invested In
Inactive and secure form, as government
bonds, Is comparatively small, almost neg
ligible. Hence It Is the elusive nature of
wealth, tho danger that tt may slip away
while the possessor's back Is turned for
Instance, when the owner of a railroad
finds himself "held up" by a secretly se
cured right to parallel It, as happened to
the late William H. Vanderbllt which
gives to the possession of millions tho fas
cination of mystery. Munsey's Magazine.
BUILDING UPA BIG MAP
Surface Forma of the T'nlted States
Rapidly Aasuinlnst Shape In
Miniature.
More progress than ever will be made
this year on the great map of the country
which shows all the surfaco forms of tho
land, every hamlet and every house ex
cepting where they stand closely together
In towns and cities. New sheets will bo
made this season In thirty-one states and
four territories. The summer field work
Is all outlined excepting In this state and
Pennsylvania. Survey parties are In the
field and the work Is bclug vigorously
pushed.
No country has ever made such rapid
progress with its topographic surveys, area
for area, as the V'nited States. Only a
little more than a third of our territory Is
yet surveyed for the. purposes of the big
map, but this Is merely because our land
surface. Including Alaska, Is nearly as
large as the whole of Europe. To moke as
good a map of our domains as that which
we can now buy of nearly the whole of
Europe we shall have to do nearly as much
surveying as all the European powers have
done together. Only four of our states
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
and New 'Jersey have so far been com
pletely mapped, but the maps of several
other states will soon be finished.
The maps of those states In which the
nutlonal survey Is being carried on with
the largest amount of state co-operutlon
will make the moat rapid progress. Thus
In Ohio, which contributes very liberally
lu trained men and money to the topo
graphic work In the state, It Is expected
thut thirteen more map sheets will be com
pleted or far advanced by the end of the
present season.
The Fairbanks region along the middle
Tanuna river, Alaska, where muny hun
dreds of miners are working In the placer
fields. Is being surveyed In detail and a
mup of It on a scale of a m.le to an Inch
will be published next winter. The survey
for a map on the same large scale of the
KoTwian Peninsula, on Prince of Wales
Island, in southeast Alaska, is also elng
made. A lurge region spreading east aud
west between the Yukon and Tanana rivers,
from the International boundary near
Duwson to Fairbanks, will also be surveyed
for a map on half that scale. Leas than
half of Alaska la as yet covered even by
preliminary reconnolssance surveys, and It
is gratifying that such considerable addi
tions are to be made this year to the de
tailed surveys for maps on a scale largo
enough to give us a clear geographical
picture of these areas.
The Flitted Stutes Geological Survey for
several years pust has annually averaged
about St. noil miles of completed topographic
surveying. The Bulletin of the American
Geographical society recently suld that this
is equal to the annual mapping of a state
nearly the size of indiuna and greater than
Maine or South Carolina. It Is an area
nearly equal to that of Portugal and as
great as that of Switzerland and Denmark
combined, yet It Is scarcely one one-hundredth
of the total srea of the I'nltod
States Inclusive of Alaska. The average
appropriation for these topographic surveys
Is about $0,Oj0, and tiie cost for several
years has averuged about 110 a square
mile, excepting In states where more de
tailed work Is done.
When a state contributes to the carrying
out of the survy Its contrlSutlon is de
voted to giving the stute larger scale maps
on ahlch more detailed work Is done. Thus
the maps of those states which show their
Interest by helping to defray the oost of
the survey contain more Information than
those of states In which the national eur
vey la working alone, New Turk gun.
