CROOK WHO ONCE GAVE SLIP HERE CAUGHT AT LAST , "Word ha3 been received; by the' lo cal authorities from Terre . Haute, Ind.. of the fact thatT"Harrji St. Claire," long wanted in that ' city for tha embezzlement of $2,000,' is cap tured at' last, after a chase lasting several years. N - St. Claire was once in the hands of the local city court . but got away by furnishing bonds of ?700 and 'forfeit ing them just as the chief of police of Terre Haute reached here with ex tradition papers. . ' ' : St. Claire, who went . by many aliases, was a fortune teller and his method of operation was-to prescribe to his victims that they should secure a sum of money, anywhere from $500 to $10,000, place it in a small bag which he would furnish, and carry It about their necks. He would "bless" this money for them, the idea being that the money in the bag would thereupon become a lodestone to attract , other coin .o the happy bearer. St. Claire would play this game in a city until he caught someone who would put a large sum, $1,000 or $2, 000 in a bag. He would work, the old greens-good game, substituting a bag containing worthless. paper, for the one containing the - greenbacks, and make a quick "getaway." St. Claire had been fn this city only one day when Superintendent Birm ingham picked up one. of his circu lars and recognized him as the man wanted in Terre Haute. St. 'Claire's arrest followed, but-he secured a law yer, furnished bonds of $700 and made his escape. ' Since then he has worked the same game successfully in other cities and the Terre Haute au thorities trailed him in .vain until. the present time. . WANTS $10,000 FOR ALLEGED BROKEN CONTRACT Alleging that she refused to sell him valuable shore property in East Port Chester after having agreed to do so, Daniel H. McHugh of Greenwich brought suit against' Ellen E. Water man of Greenwich for - $10,000. v The action had a hearing this morning be fore Judge Burpee in the Superior court. McHugh claims that the de fendant agreed to sell him the prop erty in 1906 for $8,000. He said he had a chance to sell the tract afterward for a profit. The defendant denied the plaintiff's claim. The trial was still going on at press hour. PERSONAIj .mention.

White Star line of ficials for the suppression of news ; of the Titanic Monday was voiced by 'the newspapers here. - The. lack of - life boats was also-generally condemned. f Following . are extracts from the principal editorials: From the New York Press "Popu lar anger blazed -up on the discovery that the lifeboat capacity of the .de stroyed giant of the seas - was about one-third the cargo of human freight. This passion had been fanned by the conviction of deceit in the White Star hom ofOice the day before which cruelty is , now found to have been a deliberate . deception of the . heart wrung relatives 'begging pitifully for the1 truth. That passion was -inflame'd to white ; heat by the stupid - boasts of the home office that its steamship was unsinkable when the home office knew the Titanic .had gone to the bot tom many hours before." From the New - York - Times "It seems an" assured fact that if the Ti tanic had carried-enough lifeboats 'to' hold all its human cargo there would have been no loss of life." From the New York World "Out of the wreckage emerges one clear and unmistakable fact if 800 passengers could be saved with the insufficient lifeboat equipment of , ihe Titanic, all of them qould ha;ve beer; saved if there had been enough boats to take them off."

P. 3f ORGAN", 75, v'DISCfJNDANT' OF INN-KEEPER 7MJr5 John ;Pi9rpont Morgan,hQ,,of late hag s been gallivanting -about Egypt ,and Italy, has, celebrated .his seventy-ftfth birthday, the eminent fi nancier having been born in Hartford, Conn.; AprH '17, 1837. ' Americans can not but feel proud when they read of what kingly honors have been heaped Upon our fellow-countryman by the inn-keepers of effete Europe and ef feter Egypt, who have not hesitated to kick out any princeling that might be occupying the royal suite In order that our dear Mr. 'Morgan might be Installed therein. And yet, Mr. Mor gan is himself the grandson of an Inn-keeper, Joseph, Morgan, who open ed a tavern in Hartford shortly after the close of the American Revolution. Mine Host Joseph, who had helped to whip the British, was descended from one : Miles Morgan, a hardy pioneer who had settled In Springfield, Mass., in 1635. The tayernkeeping Joseph, from his? cold bottles and hot birds, accumulated quite a respectable little fortune for those days. His son, Ju nius Spencer Morgan, further improv ed upon the family fortunes, becom ing an influential banker of New York and London. Junius Spencer married Juliet Pierpont, and from that union was born John Pierpont. As a boy in the public schools of the Connecticut- capital the future "male- a dislike for the . common name of John, so his fellows obligingly called him "Pip. This nickname was due to- a supposed resemblance of young Morgan to Dickens' ' character. In those callow days Morgan was a sen timentalist, and even wrote verse, thus following the precedent set by his grandfather Pierpont, a clergymafi- poet. The English Hih School in Boston claimed young Morgan for .a time, and then he was sent to the University of Gottlngen, Germany. He was a genial young fellow, 'tis said. with a fondness for sport and frolic, and able to absorb Germany's nation for mwM Shad 45c each - 25c each .V.25c per qt . ... . : .10c per qt' Bass, Shad Roes, Shad, Lobsters.

His second wife, Frances Louise Tra cy, he married in -1865, and she has borne him one son and three daugh ters. .. J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., now forty-five, has followed In his fath er's footsteps and is a successful . and daring lieutenant of high finance. Miss Anne Morgan has become a philan thropist of note and has mothered many charitable enterprises . designed to assist the poor. " - Personally, -Mr. Morgan fs about as frosty a human .proposition as one could find. The fatherly .benevolence . of Mr. Rockefeller, th patronizing' ' geniality of Mr. Carnegie, are. foreign to the Morgan attitude toward under lings and who is not an underling to the great Morgan? Taciturn and. al most morose, he ia the most inacces sible man in America. Whether this is due to a belief in hi - own kingship over ordinary mortals, or the mark of a man who is sufficient unto himself deponent knows not. . In his financial operations Mr. Mor-' gan has 'been a builder rather than a wrecker. He is the discoverer of wa ter of the kind used 'to float stock issues. Others before him had used water to such purpose, but- fearfully, sparingly, through ' a faucet. It re mained for Mr. (Morgan to turn on the ocean. CENTENNIAL OF FAMOUS NEGRO SLAVE PREACHER i Yesterday was the sixty-ninth anni versary of the birth of James Barton Adams, soldier, poet and scout, whs won immortality by putting into verse the famous negro sermon, "What To Grwlne to Tell de Lawd?" Adams was born In Ohio, served through the civil war with an Iowa regiment, and was a scout during the Indian wars in Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming. He was long connected with Denver Jour nalism, and "What To' Gwlne to Tril de Lawd?" was first published in a Denver newspaper. Since then .it has gone the rounds of the press of the , English-speaking - world. The poem is based on the fervent exhorta tions of John Jasper, a negro slave preacher, who died not many years ago. This year is the centennial of Jasper's birth in Richmond, V. Throughout his career the colored parson- preached the literal interpretation of the Bible, and' persistently declared that "de sun do move." Poet Adams, began , his version of Jasper's sermon, in this wise: ' When de trumpets am atootln anT &e stahs dey am a shoothY an de owls dey am a hootln In de trees. When 'de earf It am a quakln' an' de dead dey am a wakln' an de peer pie am a shakin in de knees; When yo' hea' do rollln thundaht, an' de rocks am rent a-sundah, an' . de hosts am in deir wondah stand- :-. in'-awed. - .. .

An' yo's asked to tell de story. What yo' doln' up in glory. Oh, sinner, what yo gwlne to tell the Lawd? . Who invented the cocktail? Thie has Inner hppn n snh1ot rf yintrowr sy among thei bibliographers of "ihoow hiit all th ft-fidence nolnta to John Welby Henderson, a native son of JNortn uaronna, as tne originator nf the modern American concoction.
