R. Rose, who was sus pended from active duty by the police commission last Tuesday evening, was disciplined, according to Chief Auble, for taking money from-* woman with whom he had been upon intimate terms. Prior to that Rose's superior officers had known that he had been drinking, but he was an efficient pa trolman and they let him go. with a reprimand. When the woman appeared upon the scene, however, and told her story the chief decided that the offense was of .too grave a character to be passed over lightly. Therefore he laid the facts before the commission. . The chief declined to give out the name of the woman, but says that she told him Rose frequently had taken money from her purse. At first his peculations were In such small sums that Bhe didn't even remonstrate with him, but when ■he finally walked off with $5 she felt that patience had ceased to be a virtue and complained to the chief.- Rose, it Is said, admitted that/he' had taken the money. He Is also said to have made restitution.

She was taken to a rooming house on South Spring street and Police Officers Mojonier and Mack were sent to in vestigate the case, as tho report was sent in that the woman was drugged. They found no evidence to substantiate the statement and no arrests were made. Miss Davenport was too weak to leave the hospital last .evening, but will go to her home at Sawtelle to day. • MOTOR CAR GOSPEL CAMPAIGN Pastor Off in a Devil Wagon to Col. lect Funds for a Church Debt Special to Tho Herald. PLAINFIELD, N. J., Aug. 20.— While enjoying his annual vacation of six weeks the Rev. Philip A. Parsons, pas . tor of the First Church of Christ in this city, hopes to raise enough money to discharge a mortgage on the church through i an auto gospel campaign. With his brother Lester the clergyman Btarted In his car last Friday at sun rise for Hamilton, 111., where his parents live. • In every town through which they patiß services will be held In the streets. Collections will be taken up and the. receipts will be turned over to the church trustees. The Rev. Mr. Parsons intends to preach at each service for five minutes and then to turn on his "hymnal pho nograph" while his brother passes the hat. The clergyman hopes to raise $1000. His first stop will be made at 1 ton nd Brook. From there the auto - evangelist -wlir move on through Bum. e rvllle, Karltan, Whltehouse and High Ilrldge. They expect to cover 100 miles a day. Upon reaching their destination they will rest for a week before return ing by another routfc STACKPOLE HOPES FOR NEW TRIAL CLAIMS TO HAVE MONEY TO PUSH CASE District Attorney'! Office Will Ttke _ Up Case Against Mrs. Scheck but Hat Little Evldenea Mrs. nilla Seheck, self confessed ac complice of Ernest Q. Stackpole in the murder of Joel Bcheck, was yesterday Informed that the prosecution In the case had succeeded and that her for mer lover, against whom she had giv en such condemning evidence, hftd be"Bn found sullty and his punishment fixed at life Imprisonment in the state penitentiary. The woman showed no surprise and very little interest In the verdict. "I simply did my duty In testifying and that was all. Further than that I had no Interest or malice In the prosecution of Ernest Stackpole." And that wan all the woman, who had plotted her husband's life with Stack pole, would have to say regarding the fate of her lover and accomplice. For many days she had been'care fully watched in her cell at the city jail. She had' spent . two wearisome dayß In the court room and had been subjected to a terrible • examination, but her actions have borne out her statement ! about her interest In the case and Bhe has not even asked of the progress of the trial. What of the Woman? Now that the Stackpole trial has been settled the question of the thousands of people who have followed the trial Is: "What are they going to do with the woman?" And that question seems a hard one to answer. Attorney Edward L. Flem ing, who prosecuted the Stackpole case and secured the conviction, ■will leave for his vacation within a few days. Saturday morning Attorney Thompson, representing Stackpole, will move for a new trial on the ground that the prisoner was deprived of his consti tutional rights. . • After that Fleming will leave for his vacation and will not return until dur ing September, when Mrs. Scheck's case has been' Bet for preliminary ex amination. , - . . "I will attend to Mrs. Seheck after I get back from my vacation," was Flem ing's statement yesterday. "No, I don't know what the exact mode of procedure against the woman will be yet. but the district attorney's office will go Just as far as it can when it comes to urosecutlner Mrs. Rllla Seheck. No promises have been made her and we will do our duty." Sentiment Against Prisoner On the other hand, the public is de manding a prosecution of the case and the sentiment seems to be all against the woman, especially when women are asked to express their opinion. \ ■ But attorneys, prominent in criminal procedure, do not see how the prose cution can make a case against the woman. Although she confessed in open court to her share In plotting and carrying out the hideous murder of her husband, that confession cannot be used against her. Furthermore, she did not .have to testify, yet she did and offered the only evidence whereby Stackpole could have been convicted and that fact is considered significant that some arrangement might have been made with the woman. At any rate, attorneys say that Mrs. Scheck's evidence cannot be used against her and she cannot be expected to go on the stand and testify against herself, co that, since Sta-ckpole, hoping for a new trial, cannot testify against her. there is no evidence to even hold the woman over for trial from the pre liminary examination. • Mrs. Seheck, however. Is not worry- Ing over her case and feems to take no interest in the proceedings. Hopes for Reversal Stackpole, 'on the other hand, Is spending' every hour looking over ' a' transcript of the evidence fn his case and hooine for a reversal of the ver dict against him. , Yesterday he stated that he was en tirely Innocent of the murder of Joel Seheck and that he hoped to prove that fact to everyone's satisfaction be fore his trial was over. It was then suggested to him that it looked a.\ If his trial was already a matter of history. v . f. "No, I expect a new trial," he said. "My attorney will petition a new tr.*M Saturday when I am to appear fey sentence. If that falls. I will simply go back to my cell at the county Jail and wait until my case is taken . first to the court of appeals, then • to: the state supreme court and finally. to the United States supreme court iif neces sary. I have the money and will fight the verdict to the last ditch." \ BARWOMEN ARE PUZZLED Feminine Saloon Keepers Are Under Fifteen Minute Ban and Want to Dodge It flo«rlr»l to The Herald. EVELETH, Minn., Aug. 20.— "Can women who are proprietors of saloonx In Kveleth remain in their places of business without breaking the city or dinances?" ' ' f This novel question is engaging the attention of a number of women here who are the owners of saloons. The members of the city council passed an ordinance prohibiting women from stay- Ing In saloons more than fifteen minutes at a time. They are said to answer the question propounded with an emphatic "no." . They hold that a woman who takes out the liquor license must un derstand the limitations she is under. The ordinance has not yet been signed by the mayor, but It-Is understood that tt will meet his approval. It is primarily aimed at beer dance halls which aro frequented by *omen,vbut there la no discrimination mad« in regard to the sex of the proprietor of the saloon. Some ] women have suggested that a way to dodge the ordinance is to keep an eye on the clock, and at the end of each fifteen minute period to duck out of the saloon for a minute or two and then resume their places at the bar.
