IM PENSION
ST THE CITY
IS URGED
Associated Charities Also Favors
School Board Fund—Want
Steady Income.
a movement to establish a munic
ipal pension fund for widows with
children whom they can not support
will be inaugurated at a meeting of
the board of directors of the Asso
ciated Charities at the Hotel Ansley
Friday night.
The plan will be broached to the
directors by President Linton C. Hop
kins and Secretary Joseph Logan,
who conceived the idea. It is pro
posed that the City Council make a
special appropriation for this pur
pose, to be known as the “widow’s*
fund,” and that it be handled and dis
bursed by the financial departments
of the city government.
The system that the directors of
the Charities will be asked to in
dorse is virtually the same as the
"widows’ pension act” that has been
adopted and is working out success
fully in 20 States of the Union.
Huge Fund Not Necessary.
“If our plan is worked out thor
oughly and adopted by the City Coun
cil,” Mr. Logan said Friday morning,
“it will eliminate much of the suf
fering and poverty that now faces
widows with large families who are
suddenly deprived of the wage earner
of the family. It would require no
vast amount of money to put the plan
into effect, since only the cases of
greatest need would be attended to.
"We do not propose to have the
handling of this fund. It would be bet
ter for the city financial department
to handle and disburse it, making its
own investigations and doing all the
work connected with the proper dis
tribution of the money, thus making
it municipal and not personal char
ity.”
City Inquiry To Be Asked.
Though the proposition has never
before been discussed by the directors
of the Charities, it is considered prob
able that official action will be taken
to-night. A resolution urging Coun
cil to investigate the feasibility of the
scheme and make the appropriation
will, it Is understood, be introduced,
and there Is little doubt that it will
pass. Many of the members of the
board have been approached as to
their opinions of the idea, and the
majority of them are in favor of It.
Mr. Logan stated that if the Chari
ties indorses the pension plan the or
ganization will use every effort to in
duce Council to make the needed ap
propriation and become the first city
of the country to officially care for lt»
widows and orphans without forcing
them to get relief from charitable in
stitutions.
The board also will discuss the feas
ibility of a plan whereby school
books will be furnished by the city
to those children of the city whose
parents are unable to purchase them.
This plan also calls for an appropria
tion by Council, to be handled by the
city financial department.
Poor parents could make applica
tion to the city for the books, an in
vestigation could be made, and if the
applicants are worthy the books could
be supplied, removing the element of
personal charity that attended the re
cent campaign conducted by the Char
ities in behalf of the poor children of
the city.
Plan to Get Steady Income.
It also is probable that the direct
ors will devote considerable time to
the discussion of wavs and means to
secure a permanent income for the or
ganization. It Is planned to reorgan
ize the finances of the Charities, prob
ably by asking the members to In
crease their donations, and by secur
ing new members. Some plan must
be devised at once or the Charities
will be forced to close its offices and
abandon its work.
The $3,000 being raised by the Ro
tary Club is only an emergency fund
to enable the Charities to carry on
their work for another month or two.
to tide the organization over until
some means can be devised to secure
a permanent income. The fund that
will be supplied by the club will not
be sufficient to carry on the work dur
ing the remainder of the present year.

passing in the shadow of the trees
at the corner four masked men and
two women sprang at him. One ot
them aimed a pistol at him and de
manded that he put up his hands.

searched his pocket. Another seized
his watch chain and Turner resisted.

the ground, while the sextette fled.

ants were white or black.

OF SCHMIDT
Companion of Slayer on “Great
White Way” Night Rambles
Mysteriously Missing.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The police
I to-day are trying to find Helen Green,
girl friend of Hans Schmidt, self
confessed murderer of Anna Aumul
ler. She mei Schmidt last winter and
later was frequently seen in his com
pany by persons who recognize the
photographs of Schmidt as the man
well known in the night life along the
"Gay White Way” as the “Count,”
who represented himself as the son
of noble parents.
Some time ago Miss Green disap- |
peared after declaring that she was
going to Chicago. She promised to
write to several of her friends from
there, but no word ever has come
from her. Several letters from the
girl to Schmidt were found among
his effects, but all of them were wrl*.
ren while she still was in New York.
The strange hold Schmidt held
over women was explained by the
assertion that he L a hypnotist.
Cable dispatches to-day, which es
tablished the fact that Schmidt and
Edward a. Muret, the bogus dentist
and Schmidt’s partne- in the coun
terfeiting scheme, are cousins, de
clared they gave hypnotic exhibitions
and spiritualistic seances in Europe.
It was stated to-day that while in
Europe Schmid: and Muret wr
partners in crime, but that they quar
reled a short time before Schmidt
came to this country. A reconcilia
tion was bro* ght about, however, just
before Schmidt sailed.
Muret remained, but his deeds there
came to the attention of detective
bureaus and he finally fled to New
York. Then, according to the policy,
the pair resumed their criminal prac- >
tices.

Berlin or this city, and It is though!
that she can clear up much of the
past life of Muret and possibly of
Schmidt as well.

traces of Muret’s past here. The

FAKE BOMB
Mysterious Gent in Checked
Trousers Trailed by Tireless
City Hail Sleuths.
While United States officials have
dismissed the mystery of the “bomb’’
mailed to Mayor James G. Woodward
on the grounds that it was a practical
joke, the men who feel themselves re
sponsible for the peace and dignity of
the City Hall Friday were busy try
ing to discover the perpetrator of the
big scare.
Chief Inspector Barry, of the Post
office, declares he has a good idea of
the guilty party and he has given his
I information to City Marshal James
Fuller. Marshal Fuller asserts that
the evidence points to a man in
checked trousers w*ho was seen
around the Postoffice Wednesday
evening, the very time the “sinister"
envelope was mailed.
Only one man around the City Hall
wears checked trousers, but Marshal
Fuller has not yet dared to name him
openly.
Another Scare Recalled.
Old-time city officials told a story
Friday of how Mayor Woodward had
a similar scare during a former ad
ministration.
One hot summer day when every
one happened to be out of the Mayor's
office for the moment a freezer of ice
cram was placed therein Mayor
Woodward and friends came in, and,
opening it, found it most tempting.
But they wanted to know who had
sent it. In vain they looked for a
<ard. The sender was anonymous.
On that information Mayor Wood
ward and all around his office refused
to eat any of the icy sweet. Thev
carefully put the freezer in an ad
joining room and promptly forgot it
A few days after a negro boy called
for the freezer. It had been sent by
a well-known ice cream manufac
turer.
Attaches of the Mayor’s office
I poured out the melted milk and re
turned the freezer accompanied by a
note nf fulsome thanks for the joy
of eating such delicious cream.
It is said that Secretarj Frank
Hammond will use the carbon dioxide
tube that aroused suspicion of being
a nitroglycerin capsule to make a
glass of carbonated water. He is
I going to make up for the failure to
eat the ice cream.
