The body of Mrs. Edith Gilbane, who
. \va3 found dead last night in her home,
207 West Sixty-sixth Street, was taken
lo the morgre for an autopsy, which
will be performed to-day.
Dr. Benjamin Morgan Vance gave it
p.* his opinion that the young woman
had die-- in an epileptic fit. The deci?
sion to perform an autopsy was made
when her fattier. Frank Schwager, of
320 East. 165th Street, the Bronx, re?
ported to the police that there were
bruises on his daughter's face.
Detective Moore, who was sent from
the West Sixty-eighth Street police

hut none, he thought, that might not
have been caused by falling against,
furniture that was in the room.

? Jurist Makes Tax. Klan
; And Prohibition His Texts
i Justice (J;mnon Says He Senses
Disturbed Social Conditions
Over the World
The income tax, prohibition and the
Ku-Kluk Klan were discussed last
-::gh!. by Supreme Court Justice Gan?
non at a meeting of the Kings County
Grand Jurors' Association at the
County Court House in Brooklyn.
"The inequalities of the- income tax,
the arrogant spirit of its enforce?
ment," he said, "are galling to the
average citizen. Our people are dis?
cussing recent constitutional amend?
ments and the legislation regarding
prohibition. However beautiful the
idea of a spiritless world, the spectacle
of a irreat movement employing thou?
sands of agents and spending millions
of money and endless effort to realize
a theory whose excellence if attained
is not foretold by the history of man?
kind, while so many pressing and prac?
tically necessary problems wait to be
attended to, is something the average
citizen cannot understand.
"An evidence of our disturbed social
conditions is the rebirth of the vile or?
ganization that is spreading its nox?
ious influence over the land to-day. li
is well that a Federal judge has di?
rected the attention of the grand jur\
to the operations and the purposes o?
this league. Of course it is seditious
of course it is treacherous, but its
tolerance by our people is an evidenc?
of our unhappy, unsettled mind."
Brown Cigars in Brown Suit
End Policeman's Brown Study
Citizen Awakes to Find Gone the Brown Scenery
He Selected for Hi? Natal Morn; Blues Become
Brown When He Sights His Filched Finery
It. was a dark-brown day for Herman
Sahwartz yesterday, not at all the
sha*He he had planned for his birthday.
He had prepared for the event with
anxious care and at no 3mall expense.
He had bought a brown suit for'$65,
brown shoes fer $9.7."), brown socks for
$1, a brown derby for $7 and other
articles of a sanguine shade of brown
which set him back in all exactly 5150.
When h- awoke yesterday morning
Turkish baths at 268 East Tenth
treet, where he makes his home, the
brighl vision i of the night faded
abruptly as his eyes encountered the
chair on which h<> had left his birthday
outfit. There was a brown derby there,
but it had seen many birthdays, and
so had the brown suit, the brown hoi -
the brown hosiery and the otl :r arti?
cles of apparel.
As he contemplated them Herman
experienced the pained amazement of a
Rip Van Winkle. He went hastily
gh the pock'-:" i ?' ? frayed and
? ?? : brown suit. The $20."*^ he had
left in his pockets, his army discharge
papers and his birthday cigars had not
shared in the transformation. They
had vanished. The pockets of the old
svirt wer-* empty.
Fully Flabbergasted
It took Herman so long to maire up
his mind to wear the dingy and de
crepil garment - left by the thi- E i n
. - i port his loss to the management:
? was late in reporting for work,
? job. So disconsolate was
he as he shambled along the Bowery
that a si *anger en e-d thi sidewalk to
reach his ?ide and slipped a dime into
his hand.
'? was the first ?rood fortune to befai!
is birthday, and still better
was in store for him. As he raised hi
eyes to thank his disappearing bene
t'actor they encountered a re?
individual, dressed in a pleasing shade
of brown from his new derby to the
' ips of ii is glossy siloes.
Herman recognized the brown derby.
He recognized the brown suit, thi
brown cravat, the brown sho? s, th
brown hem of the handkerchief thai
peeped from the fastidious dresser'i
i He recognized the brown cigar
whch he was rolling from one side o
his mouth to the other as he scanned
his image in a shop window and drew
his coat a trifle lower in the back.
Forgetting for the moment his own
l disreputable appearance Herman tugged
] at the arm of Patrolman Walters, who
v/bs standing nearby, and indignantly
demanded the immediate arrest of the
vision in front of the shop window.
Patrolman Walters glanced briefly at
him.
"G'wan, you big bum!" advised Pa?
trolman Walters. "Chase yerself before
I call the wagon."
In a Brown Study
Almost tearfully Herman insisted
that he could prove that the ornate rai?
ment adorning the stranger belonged to
! im and had been taken from him by
Btealth and feloniously. They ap?
proached the stranger. The stranger
greeted Patrolman Walters cordially
and gave him a ciga??. Herman, whom
i the stranger ignored, recognized the
! cigar. The stranger listened with cool
t interest to what Patrolman Walters had
to say.
"A strange case," said he, when the
; patrolman finished: "a sad case, but to
to you that this bird is cuckoo I
will inform you that I am Herman
Schwartz, the Wall Street broker."
He searched for a card and drew only
cigar. Herman's eyes kindled with
n : : ration.
'"'fleer," sr.'.d he to Walters, "this
? ? is not. Schwartz. I am Schwart-.r.
Ho can't even find a card. I can tell
' you everything there is in the pockets
of the suit he is wearing?and I can
tell you there isn't a broker's card in
any of 'em. Why, I'll bet he don't
even know the brand of cigar he's
: smek'ng."
The stranger squinted industriously
through -ire smoke at th" band around
his cigar, but obviously could make
nothing of it. He hesitated and was
?t. They went to the F;rrrh Street
? station and later to Essex Mar
' police court, vvhert Herman won
his clothes by naming the con
en;.-, of the pockets correctly, put them
on and hustled off to see if his job
?vas gone for good, while the stranger,
who turned out to be Abe Goldstein, of
23"> Roebling Street, Brooklyn, went to
a cell under $1,000 bail.
"The funny part of it is," observed
Patrolman Walters later as he removed
the band from another cigar, "that you
can't make out without a microscope
what the brand of this cigar is. and
,?,i h.'t Schwartz didn't know himself.
But they're good cigars ail right."
He removed his cap and looked them
over affectionately.

To See Hose Turned On
12-Year-Old I^ad Confesses Set?

Nova Seotia Town
ANNAPOLIS ROYAL. N. S.. Sept. 16.
? The fire which destroyed approxi?
mately one-third of th? buildings in
this town on September 7, with a loss
of $250,000, was the result of a boy's
desire "to see the man put water on it
with a hose."
This was revealed to-day when
Thomas Miller, twelve years old. con?
fessed, according to the police, that he
started the fire in the stable of the
Queen Hotel here, which spread with
fruch rapidity that most of the business
section was wiped out before the flames
were brought under control. The Mil?
ler boy was apprehended in school fol?
lowing the testimony of several wit
niMjes who declared they saw him near
the hotel just before the fire -was dis?
covered.
The boy, according to the confession
made public by the police, lighted a
pile of straw in the hotei stable. He
ran away when he found that there
was no -water in the hose when "the
man" came to use it. Later he re?
turned and assisted in removing th?*
furnishings from the hotel.
