fIOW OF POLICE
TO AID PROBE
Inspector Hayes. Reduced in
Rank and Then Suspended.
Angry—May “Tell.”
i
NEW YORK, Aug. 17- New graft
disclosures of a startling nature are
looked for momentarily as a result of
Police Commissioner Waldo's reduction
in rank and suspension of inspector
Cornelius G. Hayes, of the new ten
derloin district, one of the best known
police officials in the city.
It was reported today that the de
posed Inspector had made several ef
forts to get in touch with District At
torney hitman since his suspension.
This has given rise to rumors that
Hayes is anxious to give information to
the attorney. There are many who be
lieve that Hayes' position in the de
partment has placed him in the best
position of all the men in the police
system to reveal certain relations be
tween the force and powerful Tam
many politicians.
Hayes, stripped of his shield, flayed
before his fellows and suspended pend
ing trial on charges of neglect of duty
and making i false statement, is de
clared to be in possession of informa
tion that will make officialdom, already
I uneasy. quake with positive fear,
i Hayes mat hit back. He is declared
to know many things that "men higher
| up" want kept secret. Hayes was first
i reduced to a captaincy and then Sus-
I pended. The reduction and suspension
iof Hayes was Commissioner Waldo’s
J first decisive action since the murder
i of Herman Rosenthal.

Miss Jessie Pearl Armstrong
Elopes From Costa Rica to ‘
New Orleans. - K
NEAA r ORLEANS. L.A.. Aug. 17 -
Eluding her parents in Costa Rica Miss •
Jessie Pearl Armstrong came to New
Orleans, wedded Oscar Anderson Har
per. of Fife. Ga.. and is now honey
mooning with her husband. The young
couple told no friends here their desti
nation, but it is said they have gone t->
Atlanta where the bridegroom is in
business. After a few days there, they
will go to one of the Northern summer
resorts for a stay of several weeks.
Childhood friendship which ripened
into love and in marriage, despite a
long separation, is the story of the ro
mance of Mr. and . Mrs Harper. Miss
Armstrong lived in Atlanta as a child
and was a playmate of Oscar Harper. ,
Miss Armstrong's father objected to f
attentions paid his daughter by Har
per, but when he went to Cartago. Cos
ta Rica, to engage in business be
thought the separation would en-d ths
romance.
However, "absence” made "the heart
grow fonder" and every steamer ca -
ried a batch of letters. The lovers
finally* arranged an elopement, and,
taking advantage of the absence of her
parents from home. Miss Armstrong
came to New Orleans by- boat, meeting
M r Harper here. Justice of the Peace »
M. A. Duenhauer, of Gretna, married
them. Alfred Carlsen was best man.
A cablegram was sent to the bride's
parents, but when Mr. and Mrs Har
per left here no reply of forgiveness
had been received.

discussed at a special meeting to be
held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
at the Labor temple. At the same time
arrangement- will be made for- the re
ception of Candidate Debs when he ’
speaks in Atlanta October 15.

PHILADELPHIA “COP” HURT
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 17.—After .1
boomerang experience with practicing f
the popular slogan, "swat the fly.” Po
liceman Thomas Titchenell, of West
Philadelphia, decided last night that it
is best to let well enough alone. While
off duty at his home yesterday he was
cleaning his revolver. He was sudden
ly bitten in the back of the neck by a
house fly. He whipped his hand around
for a punishing swat, forgetting he held
a gun, and the weapon went off. The
bullet penetrated Titchenell's neck. The
wound was not a deep one. and at the
University hospital the doctors say his z
swatting of the fly will not prove fatal.
The fly escaped.
