False Alarm Caaaea thue.
Ja trying to locate the supposed vlctoru of
an attempted murder last evening the
outh Unialia itollce tramped throueh and
, through Ilia hollow m Seventeenth and 1
streets, without success. A telephone call
turned in at the station over Uio In
dependent wire that a young woman had
been ahot and was In a dying condition at
Seventeenth and 1 street. The police
hurried to the place running all the way
'Ii'om Twenty-fourth street but oa arriving
they found no wounded girl nor had any
of the residents of the neighborhood heard
or seen anything auspicious. After vlalt-
Ing all the house In the vicinity without
success the police gave up the quest. It
la thought someone who had recently In
alalled a new Independent telephone had
thought It a good joke to call the police.
"Footsh people often attempt auch prsc
tical jokes, not realizing what harm thev
nilmhl do by such a false alarm," aaid
the captain who responded to this call.
"They don't slop to think that while out
on such a w:id goose chase some real need
for an ulficcr might arise Jf we had
caught the giver of this false alarm he
certainly would have spent the night In

G. A. R. Lays Aside
Statue Question
Action on Controversy Over General
Lee's Name is Postponed Indef
initely at Final Session.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Sept. 24.-After
a debate of over three hours, the annual
encampment of the Grand Army of the He
public at Its final session on the steel pier
this afternoon. Indefinitely poat;oned ac
tion on the whole matter In relauon to the
controversy over the placing of the statue
of Robert U. Lee In statuary hall in the
capital at Washington. Tho vote was 113
to lu2, a small total compared with the
vote of Ml cast for commander-in-chief yes
terday. The encampment rejected the proposition
that congress be asked to grant each Union
veteran of the clx'.l war a pension of SL
a day for life hut endorsed the McCum
ber bill now In congress relating to pen
sions jf widows. It was recommended that
the pensions for veterans 66 years old be
increased from 111 to 116 a month; 70 years
of age, from Su to- 130, and 7S yeara of
age. tM to t2i a month.
The question of the Grand Army's atti
tude on the Lee statue matter was one of
the moat Important the encampment has
had to deal with in years. The conserva
tive element controlled the encampment
and won the day on the argument thut
the bitterness engendered In the civil war
was disappearing and sectional hatred
should not be revived, that action averse
to the Lee statue would do more harm than
good, especially to the Grand Army of the
Republic, and last, but not least, that the
state of Virginia, under the act of con
gress In 1M, had the right to place In
"tatuary hall the Image of any man from
that state whose memory tt chose to per
petuate.
BROWN SNUBBED BY PARTY
Mas Acquitted of Bribery la l.ortiner
K.leclloa Overlooked' Chair
Refuses Heooanltlea,
EAST 8T. LOVIS. . Jll.. Sept. 24.-Lee
O'Nell Browne.- recently acquitted of brib
ery In connection with the election of United
Stales S.?eiiV' Lorlmer.was refused recog
nition twice on the floor of the rMnols
democratic 'state convention Saturday. As
a member of the resolutions committee, he
was told by Roger C. Sullivan, national
committeeman of the democratic" party In
Illinois, not to assert himself. The platform
adopted was different in many planks from
the draft which the committee took Into
Its room. Loud words were heard from the
room. These were from Browne, who called
some members of the party who recently
met at Peoria, "blackmailers.",
Browne was named on the resolutiono
committee to be a member of the Twelfth'
senatorial district delegation. His - name
was hissed and cheered by delegates.
In reading the list of members of the
committee the secretary read the name, "L.
O. Browne," a delegate asked, "Who Is this
L. O. Browne?
The question was Ignored by the chair.
and when the delegate Insisted upon a reply,
Browne arose and cried:
"If the gentleman wishes Information, I
am the man to give it to him."
He was not allowed to uply and Con
gressman Henry T. Kalney. chairman, ob
tained order under difficulties. The second
rebuff came to Browne just as the. conven
tion adjourned, after the adoption of the
j la t form. With the motion for adjournment
pending Hrawne stood with hla friends In
the obiter of the hall demanding recogni
tion. He waa ignored
After the convention was brought to a
close he made hla way to the chairman and
explained that he wanted to say he could
not approve of that part of the platform
which referred to United States Senator
Lorlmer.
The democratic party, according to the
platform, admitted that Senator Lorlmer
waa elected by the votes of some of Its
party, doea not aasume that It ha.i any
political interest In Senator Iorimer and
It does consider him aa representing the
principles of the party. The election is de
plored. The original diaft condemned "bath room
tactics" and "Jack-pot" legislation. These
words were eliminated by the committee
according to the aecretary lcai they
were ubjectionable.'
HevUed Versloa of 11a a k.
The tevieed plank read:
"The democratic party Is unalterably op
posed to the giving or taking of bribes by
thue seeking legislative favors, and we
condemn in unmeasured terms any person
or perrons, democratic or republican, who
may have been guilty of any participation
tliertlii and declare In lilts connection that
we favor election of United Stales senators
b.' a direct vute of the people."
A plank maintaining that the people are
entitled to as low pi-Ices on school books
aa prevails In other states and urging that
ef foils be made to obtain such a reduction,
wai Inserted in the committee room.
The platform came out squarely for home
rule for cities and villages after the reso
lutions committee reached an agreement.
The plank oppoing the cumulative system
of voting for legislators was eliminated.
Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri
was the principal speaker.

A beggar holds out In mute appeal two
haunting stumps of arms. Miserable apolo
gies for arms: both hands 'are missing.
"Poor fellow! he'll never be able to do any
thing. ' people think, and he reaps a toll
from the parsing crowd.
Well, what can he do? More things than
at first seem possible. Ht can learn stenog
raphy. This Is not a flippant joke. August
Orembel of Munich, Germany, was born
without hands. With the aid of special
apparatus he writes with a pen and has
become fairly proficient as a stenographer.
Other kinds or possible work are tending
news-stands or serving as timekeepers and
watchmen, it the man is Intelligent he
could answer questions at the Information
window In a railroad station.
When it Is realised that every minute
some one In the United States is being
killed or Injured, the need of an agency to
find suitable jobs for the disabled is obvi
ous. Approximately iOO.900 people a year
are injured in factories, mills and foundries,
by accidents on railroads, trolley cars, and
boatx, and In mines and In other Industrial
cataxtrophes.
llela for tke Helaleea.
How are we to help the handicapped to
earn a living? The special employment
bureaus for the handicapped In New York
and Chicago partially answer the question.
A porter who has lo?t a foot must change
his work. The bureau finds him a posi
tion minding a private telephone exchange.
A typesetter lot his light hand from
blood poisoning. Ills friends pitied him and
thought he would never be able to work
again. It did seem so. He could not dress
himself or cut his own food. His self-
reliance was gone. At the bureau he was
met with a bracing contempt. "You"ve
got two legs and two eyes and strength.
Why, you might have lost both hands.
Then you would have been In a fix." The
tjpesetter was sent to a f aimer on trial.
A month later he waa seen by the manager
of the bureau driving a four-ln-hand.
Often It Is difficult to get a man Into
self-reliant frame of mind. If he Is suing
some company for damages he believes
that he will get more if he can plead that
he is unable to work. While waiting weeks,
months, and even years for the trial, he Is
acquiring the habit of not working.
A man who loses an ami Is Industrially
more seriously handicapped than one who
lacks a leg. Almost any trade calls fur
two hands. There are possibilities open,
however. Such a man can serve as a tele
phone operator In a small private exchange,
or as a theater usher or messenger, not to
mention tending a news-stand or serving
as timekeeper or watchman. A orre-armed
man la one of the telegraph operators on
a great dally paper In New York; receiv
ing newspaper copy Is one or the hardest
tasks In the te'egrapher's trade outside of
work In Wall street.
' Wkes Aac Cones Oa.
The disability of old age is the heaviest
handicap of all. Two years ago many men
who had h"ld s'.eady jobs for decades lost
their wcrk. A clerk who has labored for
thirty years In a house dealing in wool Is
practically unable to get out of the rut.
For such men places as errand boys,
eleva'tor operators, or hall porters are
some times secured. The .choice Is limited
and It Is depressing to see men who have
held responsible uosls reduced to work
that Is such a contrast to their past.
Secial employment bureaus are 'not a
sufficient solution of the problem. The
man with one leg. the woman with hip
disease, the girl with heart trouble these
cannot compete an an equality with the
able bodied. Yet they may often be capable
of good work and worthy of more than the
economic waste of mere dependence. To
overcome the handicap of physical and
mental defects special training Is needed.
By becoming expert In some trade they
will noi nave to earn a precarious living
aa newsboys or drift Into Institutions.
Two years ago 20U factories were can
vassed. Many excellent openings were
found for the handicapped In work which
permits the operator to labor while seated
and does not require unusual strain. In
stitutions for training the blind, and the
deaf and dumb have already shown their
usefulness. Similar methods will succeed
with the handicapped. Factory work may
seem undesirable but the drudgery of fixed
hours is olfuet by the number of light
tasks that can be performed while seated,
special Vocations.
Among occupations open to the handi
capped appren'ice. the artistic jewelry and
leather trades are foremost. The work
is done while seated. The materials are
light. The shops are well lit and sanitary
and the wages and hours good. The artisan
has an opportunity to use creative talent.
Tha manufacture of flowers and feathers
Is not so highly paid, unless the worker
becomes expert at making roses or ostrich
feathers.
In a piano factory the small parts of
the machinery can be made by one who Is
handicapped, as the work, though requir
ing skill, exacts no physical strength. In
the "action department" hammers are cut
and covered with felt, keys overlaid with
Ivory and valves made, all of which Is
light work. Hand folding Is another pos
sibility. In book binding "case making,"
or gluing and setting the covers Into
the binding, requires little physical strain.
Candy dipping Is another skilled task that
does not require strength.
A number of occupations can be pursued
either at home o. in a small shop by those
who are unfit for factory life. Rugs, sofa
cushions, plaxza mats, etc., can be made
on small hand looms. The manufacture
of flannel and woolly toy animals or of
jig saw animals are other callings that
can be develoied.
The training necessary to fit cripples for
these callings must be furnished In sieclal
trade schools. The school should conform
In hours and regulations as far as possible
to those prevailing in factories of a high
standard. Wages must be regulated by
the pay given In the trade. The step to
the factory must be marked by an appreci
able Increase of pay. Wages may be
covered partly by sale, but before the
1 student ran make- saleable articles the
remuneration must come from philanthropic
i sources. In some cases special machinery
' adapted to the worker'i deformity must be
devised. Silch a school would teach several
i tradea in the city where it ia located and
' the pupils would be taught those for which
j they are best suited. By such methods
I much can be done to restore the handl
I capped to the great race of life and to re
. lieve the community of a large part of its
j burden of charity. James P. lira ton In the

Before Heine; Placed He.

The love of liberty is fttong in the breast
of one William Thompson, a negro, arrested
at the Union station last night for Improper
care of his perxonal appearance. Thomp
sen had not the slightest desire to go to
the police station. He made his first break
away from Officer Mansfield at the station,
leading the officer a very merry chase for
a while. He was recaptured and placed
safely In the patrol auto. Not satisfied
with this one unsuccessful attempt, he
slipped out of Patrol Conductor Dillon's
grasp aa they were getting out of the auto
at the station, leaving bis coat turned In
side out In Dillon's hands. Several officers
gave chase, firing over the fleeing negro's
head a number of times In a vain effort
to make him stop. Thonip;en had sprinting
abilities, but fate waa against him, as he
slipped and fell at the corner of Twelfth
and Capitol avenue, where the officers re
captured him.
