Today both prisoners appeared refreshed,
fur (heir's the common experience of
hunted ones. The agony of suspense over,
they had fallen Into the deep sleeps that
betoken physical exhaustion. i , . '
A eoon m the, arrest , wer made the
local court authorities wer"". notified and
Judge I'anet Angers arranged to hold court
at 10:3" o'clock th, morning. The accused
were held under the law pertaining to
fugitives who are suspected of connection
with crime and tlie court proceedings were
arranged to be conducted expcdlously.
They hoped that Crlppen and his typist
can be sent back to London on the steamer
Royal George, which will sail on Thurs
day. However, under the fugitive offending
act the prisoners have a right to remain
fifteen days before thelf departure'. This
period af folds them opportunity to seek
release through habeas corpus proceedings.
Crlppn alHo may exercise his right as an
American cltixen to appeal to the American
t consul here and so make sure his rights
ate not Infringed. It Is doubtful if Crlp
pen avails himself of either chance for
delay.
Throngs Gather About Jail.
Early today throngs gathered outside the
Jail In anticipation . of the appearance of
the prisoners In court.
Next to the accused the. object of the
greatest public attention Is Inspector Dew.
The latter wore an air this morning not
noticeable before. The successful conclusion
of his mission has put a new light In his
face . .':',. .
Nevertheless . v the t fcicotlaad. Yard man.
knows that a great respohelBlllty still rests
on him. His prisoners fiavet been caught,
but they are yet to be safely guarded to
London. It it gentrallf believed that Dew
has failed to secure, the .hoped for con
fession. While his immediate duty was to
get his man, to have obtained a confession
would have been a feather In the cap of
any detective. .
Just how much Crlppen knows of the
case against him Is in doubt Whether he
ha learned that the British authorities
have been unable to Identify the dismem
bered body found In the cellar of his Hill
s' t-oop Crescent home as that of his actress
wife is not known Without such Identifi
cation, lawyers say, a conviction may be
Impossible. '." - ' -m
C artridges ' Thrown' ' Overboard.
One circumstance only 'might give rise to
belief that the fugitive realised the sus
picions of his fellow passengers more than
they believed. . ' f ' .
Early yesterday morning, before the Mon
Irose reached Father Point, one of the of
ficers on the upper deck saw-a package of
.revolver cartridge., thrown overboard.. He
made ah-Investigation and found that, they
came from the porthgle of Crlppen's cabin.
It Is passible, lifcevir, that the dentist got
rid of Ms. .ammunition only as a general
precaution. feai'lug. that it might cause sus
picion If fouiyl J.o hjsi cabin when the ship
neared Its destination. ' " .
From 'tikis. Incident, It Is supposed that
Crlppen also had. a revolver, but as none
a a found, in. bia stateroom when the of-ty-eis
searched It, it' Is believed he threw
t overboard.
There are many today who believe Crlp
pen was taken les by surprise than had
Been planned. It is certain that his re
sources for escape had dwindled until he
us nearly helpless. He , had a railroad
t.et for Detroit, but only $10 in his pock-

PERILS OF THE HOBBLE SKIRT

Halsted street, the longest city thorough

way of Chicago, ha seen Its first hobble
skirt It welcomed the advent of the new
skirt with cheers, and the Halsted street
small boy turned out en masse to serve
as a fitting escort to the latest of Dam
Fashion's whims.
Therefore, when Miss Reba Goldstein,
the belle of Twelfth street, turned into the
main thorougufar wearing the latest ' of
fashion's fancies, she was welcomed In true
HaUted street style.
Mis Goldstein . Is the leader of Twelfth
and Halsted street styles. She Is the pat

her district. Miss GoldBteln leads; other

M1M 'Goldstein had no sooner appeared on
the Boulevard d Halsted than little 8-year-old
Ignats . Dublnsky abandoned his posi
tion of keeping file from his father's fruit
stand and ran . shrieking Into th street:
"Say, fellers, pipe the sack race!"
The fair follower of fashion had not pro
gressed down the street more than half a
block before she was the center ot a cheer
ing mob of urchins.
Miss Goldstein wa at first pleased by th
attention she was attracting, but when the
gist of the remarks came to her above the
clamor of the mob, she wa embarrassed.
She attempted to seek safety lu flight but
owing tq the skirt, she could not flee. She
could do nothing but toddle.
"Push r over and see If she .kin git
up," shrieked the juvenile student ot style.
Miss Goldstein started to cross the street
to seek safety, but a car was approaching
so rapidly that she was about to be run
down unless . fate Interferred. Fate did.
Policeman John Dolan, seeing her danger
and realising her Inability to run, picked
her up In his strong arms and carried her
to safety.
Miss Goldstein -was reduced to tears
when Sol Rubetsky 1 shoved hi push-cart

HOME OF THE COFFEE KING
One Hoed la the Field Where Now

The home of the coffee king Is back
among the- rich coffee lands of Brazil,
where according to a writer In the Book
keeper, "the blood red earth colors every
thing it touches with a reddish hue.
''His plantation, the Monte Algere, is
S09 miles due west of Rio Janeiro, but one
must travel twice that distance on a round
about Journey to reach It. I rode with the
coffee ktng for hours and hours through a
continuous succession of coffee trees, with
no end lit Bight. .
"When one considers that there are from
250 to 30Q trees to each acre he will readily
believe .that on the thirty-two plantations
owned by this one man there are more thaa
8,000,000 trees.
."His name, FranclBco Schmidt, Indicates
his German origin. A halt century ago his
parents came to Brazil a poor emigrants
and settled in the coffee regions of the
state of Sao Paulo,' Braxil. The youthful
Francisco, who wa then 'only 10 year of

which was about the only work he could
do. lie 1 now the owner of lands upon
which he hoed coffee when a boy.
. "A coffee field Is a beautiful sight when
the trees are in bloom In pctober, but
this beauty is evanescent. The petals soon
drop off, ahd then the green berries began
to appear In thick clusters, which require
months to mature. ,
"At last their color changes to a cherry
red, and they are. ready for the pickers.
This is the busy season 'and the coffee
piatffattoris"are"ksceneif ' 6f 'great activity';
thousands '-of "pickers'' flock to the 'coffee
fields.'-' THer 'cherries' Vheit' picked ' are
sacked and run through pulping machines,
after which they are spread upon great
paved yard for drying.
"Here they are turned and turned, for.
days and weeks; no artificial system of dry
ing equals that of the sun, which seems to
give th "beans' the desired flavor. They
are now run through cleaning machines,
sorted and sacked and are sent by train to
th shipping ports.
'The production of the Schmidt fasendas
for last year amounted to 2&0.000 sacks of
133 pounds each, a total of more than 33,000,-
000 pound of green coffee. This would fur-
nlsh a cup of coffee to every man, woman
and child In the United States and Canada
for one week.
'It requires more than 130 acre ot drying
yards, either nlade of brick paving 01- of
beaten earth,- to dry this great production
of coffee, and fourteen mills run by steam
or water power to do the work of the other
porcesses. There are 66,000 acres In the en
tire estate, although all ot It Is not under
coffee cultivation.

on the lands ot these various plantations

Langdon W. Moore, who ha just died at
the age of M, in a quiet New Hampshire
community, where he was much respected
even by those who knew his record, was
on ot th great master thieve of the
United States when In his prime. He oper
ated In the era When few sensational bank
robberies were committed by men behind
the counter. In on Instance he got away
with as much money and securities as
Coleman, and h was able by "compromise"
to avoid prosecution.. First and last before
he wa lodged in the state prison, where he
served sixteen years, he must have stolen
hundred ot thousands ot dollars, usually
by adroitness without violence. At last the
law caught him. as It catches the clevereet
of rogues, but It had a long combat of wits
with him, for Moore was one of those crim
inals of whom It could be truly said that
his powers it applied to . honest callings
would have gained him prominence. Ordin
arily criminals are not markedly intellectual
men, but Moore was exceptional In having
more than mere cunning In his makeup.

RED BLOOD AND FIDDLESTICKS
Presence of Women n Discords
Note for Rosins: Kan at
Iteno.
To the thousand of male boxing fan
present In Reno, there was Just one dis
cordant note. This was the presence of
women.
Members of the female sex might have
better occupied their time as mothers, wives
and sisters thsn by Journeying to Reno to
wallow about the training camps, gaping at
scantily clad boxers and ylpplng out their
shrill shrieks fn the arena. Some of these
women hid behind the excuse that It was
the "good, red blood" In them that made
them desirous of seeing the battle. Red
fiddlesticks! It was simply a nruseatlng
display of feminine curiosity, backed up
and encouraged by men who accompanied
them and lacked authority to keep them
away. There was always a crowd of white
women at Johnson's camp every day he
boxed, and nine out of ten of these women
Insisted upon being presented to the black,
I saw several women tske their young
daughters along with ; them when they
forced the introduction. It was disgusting.
It was to escape this swarm of female
sightseers that Jeff refused to box publicly
at Reno. Finally he was persuaded to do
so, and out of th 2,000 present at Moana
Springs that day, one-fourth were women
and children. Reno 1 as moral as any city
normally and the Jeffries-Johnson affair
did not Increase the disorder to any marked
degree. Many women, wera present with
brothers, husbands and fathers. Think of
gentler sex and their fanatic following of
It.. But many forgot that they were of the
every Incident bearing upon the fight un
exed them. .
I can't tell how many women were pres
ent In the arena to witness the downfall
of Jeffries, but the numbers ran into the
hundreds. Most ot them were scattered
about among the men, but for the benefit
of those who wished to be exclusive and
were willing to pay the price, a. row of
boxes was built at the., back of and ten
feet above the top seats of the arena, and
curtains wer strung across the front. The
"exclusive" idea was a Joke, Th curtain
were thrown back and, whereaa the women
on the benches might have partially lost
themselves in the crowd, those in the boxes
were the' center of all the people In the
arena who cared to gaze toward them.
, I will give you a single example ot how
some of the women -in the arena behaved.
The lady was large, a little on the Amaion
order, clad In automobile togs, and sat In
one of the (50 seate within a few rows of
the ring. She wa accompanied presumably
by her husband, singularly clad and equally
husky.
During the greater part of the battle
this woman shrieked out encouragement to
Johnson, such as, "Go It, you smoke!"
"Oh, you dinge!". etc., and when the
knockout came she rushed from her seat,
up over the reporters' tables, and pulling
herself up so that she leaned over the
ropes, shrieked and yelled at those in the
ring like a Piute Indian.
Not very edifying, and though th hus
band didn't seem to mind the exhibition,
there may have been a son or daughter at
home who would not be overly pleased if
the moving-picture men caught their mother
during her wretched performance. Leslie's

Pittsburg; Biases a Trail Array
from tlie Cold Storage
, , Article'. " ' - ' '''
Whp says that no wisdom' has ever come
out of PlttHburg?. The dispatches are now
carrying from that city the news of a solu
tion of on pf the $reat problems of this
ago "How to , get away from the cold
storage egg."
And the aqlver of this problem, which
ha vexed so, , inuny. housewives, and so
many .boarding-house patrons, and even so
many theatrical gentlemen, I no other than
ono of the. despised Pittsburg millionaires
one of those men whom the Carnegie melon
made rich overnight-Alexander K. Pea
cook. We heartily .recommend Mr. Pea
cock's solution to alt that car to try it.
It seems that Mr. Peacock found a cold
storage egg on his plate at breakfast one
morning. And. right next to It ther was
another one, Which even the adjacent por
tion of luscious Chicago ham could not re
deem.
Then Mr. Peacock waxed peevish, and
finally he waxed -wroth.' and several other
things. The cold-storage eggs were taken
off faster than they had come on.
"if i can't get eggs fresner than this,"
he growled, "I will grow my own."
No sooner said than done. He telephoned
to a real estate man.
"I want a farm." he said. "I want a
farm that will . grow chickens, a lot ot
chickens, and eggs. It seems the only way
one' can get a fresh egg In Pittsburg is to
have his own farm."
And he got the farm. It cost SS0.0O0.
And now they are working night and day
putting up a chicken coop on that farm
that will make that filO.WO grow a lot more.
It is to be' as fine as the famous Busae
hencoop at Fox Lake.' It 1 to have electric
light, tile floors, the finest incubator and
all the comfort of home, except possibly
shower baths and a piano. It some one
discovers that chickens lay better to music
a graphophone will be installed.
At any rate, within a week or two, Mr.
Peacock will no longer be a Slav to th
cold-storage egg.
Thus w are emancipated from the chain
of modern industry. Chicago Inter-Ocean.
